00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Hey, welcome to the City Point 
Church podcast. 

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,280
Thanks for joining us. 
Every day is an opportunity to 

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,280
take hold of. 
So we hope this message inspires

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,560
you and build your faith, but it
helps you have more of a God 

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,880
perspective for your day. 
Enjoy. 

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,640
Partnering with God, the Bible 
says that he who the sunsets 

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,360
free is free is free. 
Indeed, it's good news. 

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,360
Here's a question for you all. 
Free from what exactly? 

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,200
For most of us here, we have 
accepted Jesus to be our 

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,360
personal Lord and Saviour, and 
so we understand that we have 

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,760
been saved. 
We've been saved from sin, we've

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,720
been saved from condemnation, 
and we've been saved from guilt.

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,480
Once we walked in darkness, now 
we walk in light. 

14
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,360
We walked with the heaviness and
the shame of sin and now we have

15
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,480
been washed clean, pure white as
snow. 

16
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,360
This is good news, right? 
This is great news. 

17
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,400
We used to walk around with that
big blanket of, you know, yuck, 

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,040
and it's been removed and we now
walk in the freedom of the 

19
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,960
purity that has has been given 
to us by the beautiful blood of 

20
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:26,840
Jesus. 
But is that where it stops? 

21
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Don't get me wrong, it's great 
news. 

22
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,080
This is good news for you. 
This is good news for our 

23
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,920
region. 
It's good news for our 

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,560
community. 
But are there further freedoms 

25
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,800
in Jesus to experience? 
Does the good news just stop 

26
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,480
there? 
Is there more that is made 

27
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,760
available to us? 
God is a good father and He has 

28
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:57,480
prepared wonderful gifts for us.
If you didn't know this book 

29
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,040
here His word. 
I say this pretty much every 

30
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,120
time I preach, so you should be 
all prepped on it. 

31
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,440
The word was with God and the 
word was God is God. 

32
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,240
So when we open up God's word, 
it's literally him speaking to 

33
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,200
us, right? 
Like I don't know what God says.

34
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:24,200
He never talks to me. 
Open it in this book, in His 

35
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,760
word, Him speaking to you. 
There are 8000 plus promises, 

36
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:37,080
8000 plus promises from God, 
promises of good, not evil, 

37
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,280
promises to give you a plan and 
a hope and a future. 

38
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,360
That's in Jeremiah. 
The question is, how badly do 

39
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,840
you want them? 
Years ago. 

40
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,080
About 7 years ago. 
How long have we been married? 

41
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,880
27, Yeah. 
Thank you. 

42
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,400
Yeah, I really like being 
married. 

43
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,720
That was a good decision. 
About 20. 

44
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Sorry. 
About 7 years ago we were coming

45
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,240
up to our 20th wedding 
anniversary and we're all 

46
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,400
tossing about what should we do 
and, and some discussions came 

47
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,160
in and around it. 
We want to celebrate this 

48
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,120
because this is a milestone for 
us. 

49
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,160
And out came this notion. 
Why don't why don't we do a trip

50
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,600
to Italy? 
Anyway, so this suggestion came 

51
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,320
out, I'm pretty sure it came 
from me and then there was an 

52
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,440
agreement made. 
We went, let's do it. 

53
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,200
And so we had an agreement. 
We're like, we're going to 

54
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,960
Italy. 
From that moment, my everything 

55
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,400
changed. 
My language changed. 

56
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,520
I'm like, I'm going to Italy. 
I don't have tickets yet. 

57
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,840
I don't have the money yet, but 
I've got a plan and an 

58
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,400
agreement. 
And so my language is like we 

59
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,640
are on our way to Italy. 
There was no obstacle that I 

60
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,640
didn't see obstacles. 
I saw opportunities to, you 

61
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
know, for, for answers. 
We need someone to look after 

62
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,200
the kids. 
Wow. 

63
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,240
Let's have a look around and see
who's in our world, my 

64
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,240
everything. 
When we are on our way to Italy.

65
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,440
John was actually, he became 
quite sick right before we were 

66
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,519
going. 
He became really sick, quite 

67
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:22,560
deathly sick. 
And I, I remember I came along 

68
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,320
as a Good Wife. 
I'm like, honey, you are so 

69
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,080
sick, maybe you just over work, 
didn't need a holiday. 

70
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,280
How's it only sound? 
I was motivated. 

71
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:38,240
I made sure that to pay very 
careful, careful attention to 

72
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,600
the conditions. 
It's like you need to get a 

73
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,360
passport. 
No worries. 

74
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,080
Here. 
Come and take my photo. 

75
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,600
No, no, don't smile. 
OK, we'll take another one. 

76
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,000
I was good for the conditions. 
You need insurance. 

77
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,840
No problem. 
I will meet every condition 

78
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:58,320
because I am on my way to Italy.
And on my hardest days, I still 

79
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,600
have the memory of that cannoli.
The cannoli, right? 

80
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:11,400
It was so good. 
My everything was in agreements 

81
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,800
with that decision. 
I had congruence. 

82
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:24,160
So we are invited to partner 
with God in his promises. 

83
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,960
And you might say, how do I 
partner with God, the things 

84
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,240
that he desires for me? 
And He's a good God, He's a good

85
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,680
father, He has good things in 
store for you. 

86
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,320
So how do I come into agreement 
and partner with him? 

87
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,800
And it's through the power of 
agreement. 

88
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,160
If you could just bring up on 
the screen 2nd Corinthians 120 

89
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,280
to 22. 
If you want to read along in 

90
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:56,720
your Bibles, you may or look up 
on the screen behind us for all 

91
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,080
of God's promises have been 
fulfilled in Christ with a 

92
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,000
resounding yes and through 
Christ. 

93
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:13,480
Ow everybody here say ow my 
Amen, which means yes. 

94
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,280
It ascends to God for his glory.
It is God who enables us along 

95
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:20,480
with you to stand firm for 
Christ. 

96
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,720
He has commissioned us and he 
has identified us as his own by 

97
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,520
placing Holy Spirit in our 
hearts as the first installment 

98
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,800
that guarantees everything he 
has promised through Jesus. 

99
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:40,440
God's promises are yes. 
If he's promised it, it's yes. 

100
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:49,080
And our job is Amen. 
Amen means let it be so or I 

101
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,960
agree. 
Our Amen ascends to God for His 

102
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,000
glory. 
God's promise for you is yes, 

103
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:02,600
sure thing it's done. 
It's a big yes. 

104
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,000
So we get to talk about what 
agreement looks like. 

105
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,520
Our part is to agree with what 
God says. 

106
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,600
The title of the message this 
morning is congruence of 

107
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,040
agreement. 
So the Bible speaks really 

108
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,440
clearly on the power of unity on
congruence of agreement. 

109
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:32,200
You can look up such verses like
Matthew 1819 to 20, Amos 33 or 

110
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:38,280
Genesis 11/8. 
When agreement is unified, the 

111
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:44,200
Bible says that it will be done,
it will be done, that nothing 

112
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,720
will be impossible for them. 
And I want you just to think on 

113
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,760
that first for a moment. 
That's actually found in 

114
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,240
Genesis. 
It says nothing will be 

115
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,360
impossible for them. 
That actually when when God said

116
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:01,080
that it wasn't in an overly 
positive context that was with 

117
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,520
the Tower of Babel. 
He's like, nothing's going to be

118
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,480
impossible for these guys 
because they're in congruence of

119
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,400
agreement, right? 
So James, hold on to that 

120
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,640
thought. 
James 16 versus 5 to 7 reads, if

121
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,680
you can bring that up on the 
screen, do not waver. 

122
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,560
For a person with divided 
loyalty is unsettled as a wave 

123
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,040
of the sea that is blown and 
tossed by the wind. 

124
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,200
Such people should not expect to
receive anything from the Lord. 

125
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:35,400
James is actually trying to to 
bring understanding about how to

126
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,440
receive what you pray for, about
how to access God's promises. 

127
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:45,280
And he's like, this inconstancy 
is not going to bring it about 

128
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,680
for you. 
So we've got to address 

129
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:50,800
inconstancy. 
Like I agree with what God says,

130
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,200
but I also agree with this, 
which is contradictory to what 

131
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,840
God says. 
So when we agree, there's got to

132
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,680
be this unification of agreement
and then nothing will be 

133
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:06,640
impossible. 
Here's the thing about agreement

134
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,520
I just mentioned in Genesis with
the Tower of Babel wasn't an 

135
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:14,040
overly positive that nothing 
would be impossible for them. 

136
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,960
Agreement is amoral. 
Think it through for a moment. 

137
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,920
What do I mean by that? 
I mean agreements can be made 

138
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,120
that is super godly and aligned 
with God's word. 

139
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:34,200
Agreements can be made that is 
super ungodly access to the 

140
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,080
demonic realm. 
Who wants to come and kill and 

141
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,720
steal and destroy your life. 
But an agreement made, it's like

142
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,200
a spiritual contract in the 
spiritual realm. 

143
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,560
They can be godly. 
They can be ungodly. 

144
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:58,480
Think about a courtroom. 
Now decisions have to be reached

145
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,560
by a jury. 
There has to be an agreement 

146
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,080
made for the outcome. 
So tell me this. 

147
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:10,440
Have we experienced in our 
justice system someone who's 

148
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,880
murdered somebody and then a 
jury has decided, yes, they have

149
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,320
murdered somebody and we've seen
justice and they've gone to 

150
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,440
jail. 
Has that happened? 

151
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,680
Yes, that has happened. 
Have we also seen in our justice

152
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:30,000
system people who are innocent, 
but a jury has come together and

153
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,680
made a decision that they didn't
even get to have any part of, 

154
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,600
but this agreement has now 
locked someone in a cell away 

155
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,480
from life. 
Agreement is powerful. 

156
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:49,400
Agreement is powerful, whether 
godly or whether ungodly, and 

157
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,200
it's the shame in the spiritual 
realm. 

158
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:57,320
Agreement is a spiritual 
contract contract, right? 

159
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,880
So whether godly, whether evil, 
sorry, whether godly or whether 

160
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:08,720
evil, what we agree with is 
often what our faith is carried 

161
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,240
on you, you believe it, right? 
So if you agreeing with 

162
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,680
something, you usually believe 
that agreement. 

163
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:21,600
So our faith is now carried on 
agreements, OK. 

164
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,720
And we've got to be careful what
we make agreements with because 

165
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:32,280
faith, faith paves the pathway 
to what you will receive, what 

166
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,760
you believe. 
Your faith paves the pathway to 

167
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,240
what you're going to receive. 
So we've got to be very careful 

168
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,960
about what we come into 
agreement with. 

169
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,240
Agreements hold power, whether 
godly or ungodly. 

170
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,520
So when we're partnering with 
God in his desire, in his 

171
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,440
promises, which are found in his
words, we want to ensure that 

172
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,280
our everything is in congruence 
and lining up with what he says.

173
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,160
So when we say something, for 
example, when we're we're 

174
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,880
looking for healing, you might 
come and grab a verse in God's 

175
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,560
word in his promise. 
Let's look at Jeremiah 3017. 

176
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,520
It's not up on the screen, but 
says I will restore you to 

177
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,520
health and heal your wounds, 
declares the Lord. 

178
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:30,440
So we've got God's word, which 
is his will, which is his yes, 

179
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,600
which is his promise. 
So this is a promise that we can

180
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,840
now declare, claim, and hold 
onto. 

181
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,600
While we're doing that, we want 
to ensure that our everything 

182
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,840
lines up with this promise, 
lines up with healing. 

183
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,160
What do I mean? 
So I want to ensure that what 

184
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,680
comes out of my mouth is in 
agreeance with God's promise. 

185
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,280
But sometimes we can then come 
and declare, I always get sick. 

186
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,760
Oh, I've just made an agreement 
in the spiritual realm or my 

187
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,480
cursed body. 
You're declaring God's word that

188
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,480
says I'm going to experience 
healing and restoration. 

189
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,280
But you've got an agreement over
here that says now my body's 

190
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,840
cursed. 
There's an incongruence of 

191
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,800
agreement. 
We want our everything to grab 

192
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,880
hold of what God says and walk 
in agreement with him. 

193
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:38,040
What about going to a doctor? 
If we're if our bodies are 

194
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,640
unwell, we can pray to God and 
we can claim this scripture. 

195
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:48,120
God's promise is yes. 
Now when we pray for people for 

196
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,640
healing, many times, many times 
people experience the 

197
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,280
supernatural ministering 
presence of God that see eyes 

198
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,600
open, that see legs grow, that 
see backs healed, that see 

199
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,680
cancer cancelled. 
And sometimes it doesn't. 

200
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,200
Why? 
I have no idea. 

201
00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:17,080
I have no idea, no idea. 
I do know that the more people 

202
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,560
we pray for them will get healed
and experience that supernatural

203
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,640
healing and miraculous power 
from God. 

204
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,600
And so if you're on this altar 
and you're coming into a line 

205
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,400
with God's Word, we're going to 
pray for you and we're going to 

206
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,520
believe for healing, right? 
So if you don't get the 

207
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:40,160
miraculous in the moment, it is 
then congruent to go and get 

208
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,320
healing. 
Go and see your doctor. 

209
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,280
Actually, there it's their job 
description to bring healing and

210
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,440
restoration. 
And then you go, Lord, I'm 

211
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,880
claiming healing, I'm claiming 
restoration. 

212
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,120
I pray you don't even make it to
the doctor 'cause he's 

213
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,280
miraculously healed your body. 
But if you do, I pray then that 

214
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,160
the wisdom of God would be on 
that doctor to find out exactly 

215
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,480
what's going on in your body. 
I'm going to be congruent and 

216
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,600
declare healing like God word 
said. 

217
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,920
But sometimes if it doesn't 
happen the way we expect, God 

218
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,400
should move. 
Hey, I'm on the altar. 

219
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,480
I'm praying for healing, and you
didn't give me the miraculous 

220
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,040
healing right here. 
That's it, I'm out. 

221
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,960
I'll go and make an agreement 
with my body's always cursed or 

222
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,240
you can hold on to God's promise
and go, OK, it didn't happen 

223
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,600
here. 
Where is it? 

224
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,960
Where is it Lord? 
Because I've made an agreement 

225
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,640
with your word that says I'm 
going to be well, I'm going to 

226
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,600
be restored. 
I'm going to be healed in Jesus 

227
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,840
name. 
So going to your doctor, Luke. 

228
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,320
Luke was a doctor in the Bible 
who wrote the book of Luke, Luke

229
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,920
Paul says to Timothy, I believe 
it's like go and and have some 

230
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:03,080
medicine and wine to help with 
your body so that you can be 

231
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,120
strong for the work of the 
ministry. 

232
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,120
It's literally a doctor's job to
bring about health and 

233
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,760
restoration. 
So I am going to pray for the 

234
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,080
miraculous, but if it doesn't 
happen the way I think it 

235
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:20,080
should, I my eyes are going to 
be congruent with the promise of

236
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,120
God. 
This all right? 

237
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,560
You might have the flu and go 
Lords, I claim this promise of 

238
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,480
restoration, of healing. 
I'm walking in and in 

239
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,880
declaration with this. 
But on the way home, you then 

240
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,000
grab McDonald's, followed by 
cheesecake and a thick shake, 

241
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,720
and then you go home to 
chocolate pudding. 

242
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:50,240
Do you see the incongruence? 
There's an incongruence of 

243
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,880
agreement. 
So when we declare God's 

244
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,160
promises, we want to make sure 
our everything lines up and is 

245
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,800
in agreement with what he says. 
God's word is power and we get 

246
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,400
so tripped up on the how that we
lose sight of it or get 

247
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,319
discouraged. 
It's like, no, hang on to that 

248
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:10,720
thing. 
It's it's how if it's possible, 

249
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:17,359
then how you hear the words. 
I can't, but God's Word says I 

250
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,480
can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me, but I can't 

251
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,960
because I'm too old. 
I can't because I'm too broken. 

252
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,840
I can't because I don't have 
time. 

253
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,680
I can't because I don't have 
money. 

254
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,640
I can't because I'm too 
disabled. 

255
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,800
And we've got all of these 
agreements going on that are 

256
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,600
contrary to what God's Word 
says. 

257
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:48,520
So a better a better question 
would be if God says I can, how 

258
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,680
could I? 
If it's if you say it's 

259
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,640
possible, Lord, how could I 
congruence of agreement. 

260
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:02,480
Is this OK? 
All right, Can I have some 

261
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,880
water, please? 
Thank you. 

262
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,080
On next to you, Pastor Graham, 
thank you. 

263
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,000
He's got his hands full. 
There's a demonstration coming. 

264
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:26,960
Another example of this would 
actually be in in provision in 

265
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,680
Malachi 310. 
It says bring your full tithe 

266
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,200
into the storehouse that there 
may be food in my house and 

267
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,760
thereby put me to the test, says
the Lord of hosts. 

268
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,080
If I will not open the windows 
of heaven for you and pour out a

269
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,800
blessing until there is no more 
need, so we can pray the 

270
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,320
scripture and go God, I come 
into agreement with this 

271
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,000
scripture. 
I'm believing that the windows 

272
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
of heaven will be open to me, 
but then we don't meet the 

273
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,400
agreement. 
We don't meet the condition. 

274
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,880
Often where there's a promise in
God's word, there's usually a 

275
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,160
condition. 
Just meet the condition. 

276
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,560
And so we're claiming in Jesus 
name. 

277
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,160
But there's an incongruent of 
agreement. 

278
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,000
Faith and actions are carried on
belief, right? 

279
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,440
So we want to have our belief 
congruent with God's promises 

280
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,880
out everything to come into a 
line. 

281
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,120
I'm actually going to do a 
demonstration for you just to 

282
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:31,240
try and, and make this a little 
bit clearer. 

283
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,720
May I please have my 5 people? 
I've got pastor Well, Pastor 

284
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,120
Gray, if you could just come and
line up here on the side. 

285
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,520
Believe I've got Chris Ebony, 
just if you could come and line 

286
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,960
up on the side there, I'll call 
you over. 

287
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,720
I don't need the lid, I don't 
think. 

288
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,640
All right. 
And so if I could have come up 

289
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:55,080
on the screen, please behind me 
the identity here we go. 

290
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,960
So God's word here says, 
according to God's word, I am 

291
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:06,440
complete in him loved eternally.
I'm not condemned, I'm forgiven,

292
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:11,440
pure and righteous, salt of the 
earth, fearfully and wonderfully

293
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,760
made. 
I am a child of God. 

294
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,680
This is This is good news. 
These are God's promises to us 

295
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,320
and I'm here, I want to say yes,
I want my identity formed in 

296
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:29,600
Jesus so I can walk in 
confidence, so I can walk in 

297
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,520
peace and in a sound mind. 
But then comes along Pastor 

298
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,080
Graham. 
Well, actually it's not Pastor 

299
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,320
Graham. 
We have insignificance comes and

300
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:44,200
features and so it ties ties 
around here. 

301
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,040
OK, you can go and stand over 
there and then I've got what do 

302
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,320
we have here? 
Not enough. 

303
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:57,000
So if you could hold this 
awesome and right to the end and

304
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,200
just stand back. 
Thank you. 

305
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:07,240
Then I've got unlovable that 
comes up and then divinity that 

306
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,200
comes up. 
If you could just thank you. 

307
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,560
And what have I got here? 
Unworthy. 

308
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,760
And so I've got God's promises 
up here in my identity with him.

309
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:34,480
This is what I want to go for. 
Hang on. 

310
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,560
And I can't reach it. 
I need my scissors, please. 

311
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,160
Yeah. 
Can we all just do a shuffle 

312
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,440
over this way? 
I forgot them. 

313
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,120
This is actually quite, quite 
hard. 

314
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:51,960
And so insignificance comes up. 
This might feature through being

315
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,680
overlooked. 
This might feature through an 

316
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,320
event where you you come and 
make meaning and say I'm 

317
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,880
unimportant. 
I, I don't, I'm not important in

318
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,240
in this ministry. 
And so you make a new assigned 

319
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,160
meaning with it, and you've got 
an agreement. 

320
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,320
And so I've got to come in and 
go, well, what does God's word 

321
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,280
say? 
It says, I'm pretty sure here it

322
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,040
says that I'm the salt of the 
earth. 

323
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,120
If I'm the salt of the earth, 
that means I'm one of the most 

324
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:26,160
important assets in the Kingdom 
of God. 

325
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,560
I hold great significance and I 
hold great importance. 

326
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,720
So, Lord, I come into agreement 
with what you say. 

327
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,640
And I'm sorry that I made 
agreement with this thing. 

328
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,840
I'm going to cut this thing off 
right now in the name of Jesus, 

329
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,360
out of my life. 
Then I see not enough. 

330
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,040
It's getting a little bit. 
All right, I'm doing OK. 

331
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,360
Not enough. 
At some point, something may 

332
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:53,640
have happened that told you you 
weren't enough. 

333
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,600
It could have been a parent that
said your grades are not enough.

334
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,240
You will never amount to 
anything. 

335
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,320
You are stupid, you're not 
talented, you're not skillful 

336
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,320
enough. 
But God's word here says I'm 

337
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,480
complete in Him. 
So Lord, I want to come into 

338
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,520
agreement with what you say you.
This is a lie. 

339
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,680
I can see that now, God. 
So I break agreement. 

340
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,240
I'm sorry, Lord, that I said 
that I'm not enough. 

341
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,480
And by the spiritual blood of 
Jesus, I come in and I cut this 

342
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,280
tie. 
I break agreement with not 

343
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,240
enough and I declare I'm 
completing him. 

344
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,560
Whoo Hoo, Hoo. 
I'm feeling good. 

345
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,160
OK, move over here so everyone 
can see Unlovable. 

346
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,520
Something may have happened on 
your line that says I'm 

347
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,640
unlovable. 
Someone may have left. 

348
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,560
It could have been a parent. 
It could have been a partner. 

349
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:58,840
This could have been a child. 
Something in your line said you 

350
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:04,760
are not worthy to be loved. 
No one could love you and sat in

351
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,440
your corner and you said 
everybody hates me, nobody loves

352
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,680
me and start eating worms. 
And you can sit in your corner 

353
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:16,760
and stay stuck. 
Although God's promises are 

354
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:22,280
here, the good news for me to 
walk into, you can stay stuck 

355
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:26,680
with this agreement or by the 
blood of Jesus. 

356
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,480
I come in Lord, and I break 
agreement with this. 

357
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,160
I thank you Lord, that you said 
I am loved eternally, which 

358
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,320
means you loved me before I even
made it here. 

359
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,560
From my mother's womb. 
You have had a plan and a 

360
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,040
purpose for my life. 
You have seen me, You have known

361
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,480
me, You have loved me and 
eternally. 

362
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,160
So. 
I break agreement with this lie 

363
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,840
in the name of Jesus by the 
blood of Jesus out of my life. 

364
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,720
Oh, OK. 
Now this one, this one has got 

365
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,000
some stuff going on here in your
process of identity. 

366
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,960
You might have been feeling not 
sure where I fit. 

367
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,000
So you've gone to a fortune 
teller to try and get someone 

368
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,720
else try and find something else
to fill that space. 

369
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,840
This is fortune telling tarot 
cards agreement with Halloween 

370
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,120
that it's OK. 
It's not OK, I'm not going to 

371
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:26,680
tell you Halloween and and 
making an agreement that it's OK

372
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,360
is OK. 
It's not OK. 

373
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,520
And so by I've got good news. 
If you've done that, you're 

374
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,760
like, oh, I feel like I need to 
repent. 

375
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,920
It's good news. 
You can break agreement with 

376
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,480
this right now in the name of 
Jesus, by the blood of Jesus, I 

377
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:47,320
break the power of this thing. 
I'm sorry, Lord, often these 

378
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:52,640
lines here, these spiritual 
contracts, spiritual contracts, 

379
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,800
agreements of spiritual 
contracts that hold power that 

380
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,080
will stop you from moving 
forward. 

381
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,000
There's oppression and there's 
power in and around them. 

382
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,800
When we break these, often there
will be the need for repentance 

383
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,640
or forgiveness. 
OK, so I've made an agreement 

384
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,080
with divination. 
I'm sorry that I did that Lord. 

385
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,440
I don't want access to the 
supernatural realm that has 

386
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,720
nothing to do with you, with 
those creatures and pests that 

387
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,840
are here to kill and steal and 
destroy my life. 

388
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,120
So through my repentance, Lord, 
and by the power of your blood 

389
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,680
and by the power of Your name, I
break any agreement I made with 

390
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,600
this and I cast you out of my 
life in the name of Jesus. 

391
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,440
And what have we got over here? 
Oh, unworthy. 

392
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,400
Actually, you know what? 
Let this one go like fully long 

393
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,760
I want to do. 
Hey, No, it's not. 

394
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,960
You've got heaps more there. 
Oh, that you've got somebody 

395
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,800
else's. 
All right, forgive us. 

396
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,320
We have a long friends as well 
as like working together. 

397
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,760
So unworthy. 
What I want to point out about 

398
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,960
not you. 
No, I just was giving you. 

399
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,840
OK. 
All right, we've got this. 

400
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,600
The word unworthy there. 
What I want to point out about 

401
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,640
these spiritual agreements just 
before I send Pastor Phil off 

402
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,040
the stage. 
These agreements sometimes could

403
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,320
go beyond the trees. 
What do I mean by that? 

404
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,960
I mean, sometimes you don't even
know their name because they 

405
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,840
were agreements made when you 
weren't even in the room. 

406
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,720
These are generational curses. 
These are agreements that have 

407
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,000
been made generations ago, 
before you were even born. 

408
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,920
Things like Freemasonry abuse 
that happened decades ago that 

409
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,240
has now carried a line through 
your bloodline. 

410
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,240
Blood is actually a currency in 
the spiritual world, which is 

411
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,000
why the blood of Jesus is so 
powerful. 

412
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,000
But these things are carried 
through a bloodline. 

413
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,120
Curses that we have to break 
agreement with. 

414
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,760
So unworthiness might feature 
from way back when, or it could 

415
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,240
feature through our own life. 
This often comes through abuse. 

416
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,280
It's so unfair. 
You, you didn't even have a 

417
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,400
choice in the matter. 
This was an agreement, like I 

418
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,520
said in the courtroom, that was 
made on behalf of you, that has 

419
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,280
locked you in a cell and kept 
you away from life. 

420
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,640
But I have good news. 
The blood of Jesus, the purpose 

421
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,400
of Jesus, wants to see you break
free from this wicked thing that

422
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,720
is holding me back from 
experiencing and walking in the 

423
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:41,520
life eternal, in the life that 
He has promised, in the goodness

424
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,080
that he has for you. 
And so by the blood of Jesus, 

425
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,240
and the name of Jesus and the 
power of Jesus, I break 

426
00:28:49,240 --> 00:29:03,120
agreement with this thing. 
No weapon, no weapon formed 

427
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:09,200
against us can prosper in the 
name of Jesus unless we're 

428
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:14,520
making agreement with it. 
There's no spiritual force that 

429
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:19,640
has the power to hold you back 
unless you take the power of 

430
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,680
agreement and make agreement 
with it. 

431
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,320
You're getting this this 
morning. 

432
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:33,920
They're arrows, darts of poison 
designed to kill, to steal from 

433
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,960
you and destroy your life. 
And you don't have to put up 

434
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,960
with it. 
You don't have to walk in that. 

435
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,200
You don't have to be bound. 
It's so much nicer not being 

436
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,360
bound. 
An agreement is a spiritual 

437
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,600
contract. 
We break free in the name of 

438
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,560
Jesus. 
We can move into a space of 

439
00:29:53,560 --> 00:30:00,840
confidence, assurance, identity,
and understanding our position 

440
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:05,040
of who we are in Christ. 
It's actually a position of 

441
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,520
authority. 
It's a position of freedom. 

442
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:14,000
It's actually fun. 
When we break free, peace lives 

443
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:19,440
there very quickly. 
Before we close this morning, I 

444
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,800
want to touch on two more types 
of agreements that we make that 

445
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:33,560
we may not be aware of. 
Agreements that can feature, and

446
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:38,840
that's an agreement with sin. 
And this is twofold. 

447
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:45,800
So sins that we choose and sins 
that happen against us. 

448
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:52,440
OK, now the sin that we choose, 
I'm not talking about mistakes 

449
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,280
that we make. 
Everyone makes mistakes. 

450
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,440
I'm not talking about being 
perfect here. 

451
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,240
If you're following Jesus, I've 
got a news flush for you. 

452
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,600
You're going to make so many 
mistakes, mistakes in Jesus like

453
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,080
it's OK, we're on the the 
journey of transformation, but 

454
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,360
I'm talking about an agreement 
with sin. 

455
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,440
And this is what it looks like. 
Lord, I know that Your word says

456
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:25,440
this about this sin, but God, I 
don't really believe it. 

457
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:35,160
I think this sin is OK. 
So I break agreement with what 

458
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,640
you say about this sin, and I'm 
making my own agreement here. 

459
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,320
Guys, I'm sorry, but the 
agreement here, that line, 

460
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,520
that's property of the enemy, 
which gives him access into your

461
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,560
life. 
Any agreement that is 

462
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,840
unsurrended to Jesus, the enemy 
has access. 

463
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,840
He actually, he, it gives him 
access. 

464
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,880
It's a spiritual contract that 
opens a door for him to come in.

465
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,880
And so agreement with sin, it's 
not OK. 

466
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,040
And and it's not like Jesus is 
there with a big saucepan ready 

467
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,560
to hit you over the head. 
That's not the picture here He's

468
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:24,760
got he's got freedom for you. 
He has got a life of purpose. 

469
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,720
There's this itching to get his 
promises to you. 

470
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,800
He wants you to walk in 
fulfilment, abundance, 

471
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:36,240
understanding who you are. 
But the sin, if you make 

472
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,000
agreement with it, it's going to
hold you back from all that he 

473
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:46,800
has for you to walk into right? 
It's not OK. 

474
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:53,440
God's Word, God's word says to 
forgive sin, that he forgives 

475
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,040
sin. 
He doesn't excuse it. 

476
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,840
The Bible says that Jesus 
forgives sin. 

477
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:11,800
He doesn't excuse it. 
OK, the second type of sin that 

478
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,880
we make an agreement with is the
sins made against us. 

479
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,960
Some of you, this might sting a 
little bit this morning, but I'm

480
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,160
praying for wholeness and for 
healing for you. 

481
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:33,440
When somebody really hurts us 
and they say sorry, what's even 

482
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,760
the language that can come out 
of our mouth? 

483
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:43,640
It's OK, that's an agreement. 
It's all good. 

484
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,720
I'm OK. 
When awful things are done to 

485
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:54,800
us, we can push it down. 
Down pain. 

486
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,080
You're OK. 
You're fine. 

487
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,800
Get down there. 
How much can we push under? 

488
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:09,199
It doesn't matter. 
It's an agreement that hinders 

489
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:12,360
our healing muses. 
I'm hoping that you're coming 

490
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,960
out. 
We sweep it under the rug. 

491
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:24,840
Excusing sin against you will 
not bring healing and it won't 

492
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:30,199
bring freedom. 
Agreeing to ignore it is not 

493
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:33,800
going to bring you into God's 
promises. 

494
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,280
Can I just say if this has 
happened to anyone here, that 

495
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:45,840
hurting you was not OK? 
Forgiveness acknowledges that 

496
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,120
the sin against you was not OK. 
It wasn't OK. 

497
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:58,560
It wasn't OK. 
The betrayal, abuse, 

498
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:07,240
humiliation, gossip against you,
none of it was OK. 

499
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:15,280
You are a child of gods crafted 
by the Almighty, beloved, 

500
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:22,480
precious, and highly valuable. 
And it was not OK to be treated 

501
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:27,120
badly. 
And I know that acknowledging 

502
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,400
this might be painful for some 
of you, but the Bible actually 

503
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,800
says blessed are those who 
mourn, for they're going to be 

504
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:41,280
comforted. 
And so I actually pray that as 

505
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:47,240
as you look at this, that the 
comfort of God has opportunity 

506
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:52,400
to come in and bring comfort and
lead to wholeness and lead to 

507
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:58,040
healing and lead to peace and 
lead to rest for your souls. 

508
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,440
And it's all available right 
here with Jesus. 

509
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:10,400
But this pain, this thing that 
has happened to you, you've 

510
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:17,000
actually got to acknowledge it, 
not excuse it, not make 

511
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,840
agreement. 
Oh, it, it was all right. 

512
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,040
It's OK. 
That is where worthlessness 

513
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:27,160
breeds in this agreement. 
It wasn't OK. 

514
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:33,960
Break the agreement with it and 
then hand it to the very loving 

515
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:41,040
arms of Jesus. 
I just wanted to say like this 

516
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:46,600
unforgiveness, He helps us to 
release the unforgiveness to 

517
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:51,640
Him. 
And that journey truly can 

518
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:57,280
sometimes take years. 
It can take years. 

519
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,920
It's a process of acknowledging 
the pain for what it was, 

520
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:10,160
reconciling the pain. 
I think it was your mum, Pastor 

521
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,040
Sharon, who actually talks about
having. 

522
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,520
It's like you've got a computer 
that's open with all of these 

523
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,920
tabs and you just go and shut it
down. 

524
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,800
But you've got all of these tabs
that are still open and you've 

525
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,880
got to go in and, and reconcile 
them, close them down to get a 

526
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,920
healthy shutdown of the 
computer. 

527
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,560
Sometimes that reconciliation 
is, wow, that was garbage. 

528
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,480
Sometimes you're going to need a
little bit of help with maybe 

529
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,800
someone like Pastor Sharon or or
someone who can come and walk 

530
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,360
through with you to reconcile 
these things. 

531
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,760
But there's got to be a 
reconciliation, not an agreement

532
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:55,640
that it didn't matter. 
God Forgives, He doesn't excuse.

533
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:03,600
So we acknowledge the pain, 
reconcile it, and then hand it 

534
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,480
to Jesus. 
And that's a process that might 

535
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:12,320
take a long time with him. 
But there's freedom on the other

536
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,120
side of that. 
There's wholeness on the other 

537
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:26,800
side of that Jesus name. 
There's no sin that he actually 

538
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,000
can't forgive. 
There's no act that he hasn't 

539
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,120
seen. 
He's seen it all. 

540
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:39,400
Eternal. 
God is so personal and he, he 

541
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,920
wants to be close to you. 
He wants to bring you into 

542
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,680
release. 
He wants to bring you into 

543
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,560
freedom from these things, your 
fierce protector, to be your 

544
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,760
deliverer, your freedom, your 
joy.
