1 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 --> 00:00:11,120 take hold of, so we hope this message inspires you and builds 4 00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:14,240 your faith, but it helps you have more of a God perspective 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,880 for your day. Enjoy. 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:24,240 And I need to realign myself. This prayer is core and at the 7 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:27,680 centre of every Jewish belief in the oneness of God. 8 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,840 This prayers pray resided twice a day and is central to the 9 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:38,160 Jewish monotheistic faith. And so I want us to reboot 10 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:43,240 ourselves and realign ourselves. In Jeremiah 31 three, the Lord 11 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:49,040 says of all of us, I have loved you with an everlasting love. 12 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,720 Therefore I have drawn you with my loving kindness. 13 00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:00,000 I brought that Scripture last preach here and it's still for 14 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,040 you today for me today. It's still active today. 15 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,040 So here, O church, put your name in there. 16 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,920 Here, O the Lord God is 1. Here he is. 17 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,080 Here's Chris. And so, but the Lord has drawn 18 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,080 you over a long time. Some of you feel here that 19 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,360 you've been drawn and corded. I can feel it. 20 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,840 I can feel the original pain. I can feel. 21 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,760 And if I can feel it, you know that that's the Lord in me. 22 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,920 Yeah. I can feel the original wounding 23 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,600 and the original pain and then I can feel all the subsequent 24 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,680 secondary injuries and I can even feel the pain of your 25 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,560 hoping and and wanting it to end. 26 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,720 And God is saying to you today, he wants a response because it's 27 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,480 going to end. There's going to a closing of a 28 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,760 chapter, but we need to partner with God. 29 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,480 Amen. That word drawn means and it's a 30 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,280 progression. OK, God's brilliant, only he can 31 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,080 do it. And it's in the word. 32 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,640 Study the word because it's like he will blow you away and your 33 00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:15,440 life will change. You will become this vessel that 34 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,280 is just yeah, anointed. And you're a change agent 35 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,840 everywhere. Drawn means to. 36 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,640 He will continue to develop you. He will continue to make you, 37 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,760 but he will stretch you. So he's like, I love being 38 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:32,760 developed. Yeah. 39 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,520 Pour in, pour in. Just keep going and walking 40 00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:39,960 because then he's making you. And then you've hit, oh, he's 41 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,440 stretching me. Oh, he's pulling me. 42 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:50,080 Oh, he's extending me. And now he's deferring me on the 43 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,800 shelf. And now he's delaying me. 44 00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,040 And now he's pouring me out of myself so that he can pour in. 45 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,920 He pours us from vessel to vessel. 46 00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:06,920 But I'm letting him. I'm letting him. 47 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,560 I've got a relationship with the Lord. 48 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,120 So at times I'm going. This isn't great. 49 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,600 I'm not really thinking that I can trust you. 50 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,240 This is even hurting. Oh, Rach. 51 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,480 Yeah. God bless you, darling. 52 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:29,280 And then he sows us, Amen. And then he deploys us. 53 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:36,960 And then he can wield us in influence, like in war, like 54 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,800 authority can't cheat that process, Amen. 55 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,600 What? Why would we want to? 56 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,160 Yeah. And so let God do that. 57 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,600 You know, when John 418 says we, This is so quoted so often. 58 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:58,960 But here at our church today, there is No Fear in love, 59 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,760 because perfect love casts out all fear. 60 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,200 Our relationship with our God casts out all fear. 61 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,800 Amen. In Ephesians 6/3/16, God says, I 62 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,399 pray that He will grant you according to the riches of His 63 00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:21,240 glory to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your 64 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,920 inner being that Christ may dwell in your hearts through 65 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:33,320 faith that being rooted, say it being being you're on journey. 66 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,440 You'll get to a place where it's now really working. 67 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,200 But we always have to keep an eye on it, OK. 68 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,400 And so you, being rooted and grounded and established in his 69 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:51,280 love, may be able to grasp with all the Saints, how wide, how 70 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:57,680 long, how high, how deep is the love of Christ, which surpasses 71 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,720 knowledge that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 72 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,800 Isn't that your desire? Amen. 73 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,160 That word grasp. There is also a process. 74 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,880 Isn't God loving? Didn't he say I have loved you 75 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,440 with an everlasting love? He doesn't say right, you're 76 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,640 born again. No, now go and save the nations. 77 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,760 We need to grow and He gives us time, but we need to respond to 78 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,160 every step. Grass means initially to 79 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,680 perceive. I perceive that my God loves me 80 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,000 and that I am His, that my beloved is mine and I am His. 81 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,560 And I receive that. I perceive it. 82 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,720 I receive it and now lay hold of it, and now I seize it. 83 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,120 Because you're becoming powerful and an influencer and the 84 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,480 devil's like, the devil's like, I don't like you. 85 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,480 And so you might be getting pushed back. 86 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,720 It's OK. You are rooted and grounded and 87 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,440 established and you will not be shaken. 88 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,320 Amen. You know how high and wide and 89 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,360 deep is the love of God? For you the love of God means 90 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,760 protection and safety, provision and and and comfort and 91 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,920 everything that you need so to perceive, receive, lay hold of, 92 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:26,000 seize and capture by force and possess it, possess it, stand on 93 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,400 it, on the rock in Jesus name. Remember I bought this scripture 94 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,840 Zechariah 912 calling God, calling to us still. 95 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,760 Please return to your stronghold, you prisoner of 96 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,520 hope. This very day I am declaring 97 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,120 that I will restore double to you. 98 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,480 Another version says come back to your place of safety all you 99 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,960 prisoners who still have hope and trust in the Lord. 100 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,200 For I promise this very day that I will repay you 2 blessings for 101 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,560 each of your troubles. This is ABBA Father speaking to 102 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,800 us. ABBA Father, a good father. 103 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,040 Jesus called the Father. Come on, good. 104 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,320 He called him good. When I'm in Israel and I'm 105 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,880 ministering as you just in the communities and everywhere you 106 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,880 go, you little hear, you kid, hear little kids go ABBA, ABBA. 107 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,160 And I go, oh, oh, they're calling their father. 108 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,000 We say, dad, hey, dad. And they ABBA, ABBA. 109 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,280 And it's like, oh, it just does something to you. 110 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,280 Amen. And so this is Paul speaking. 111 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,120 So in one Corinthians 16-8 to 11, Paul is addressing something 112 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:50,480 that is hindering a person's ministry, but hindering their 113 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,880 life as well. And as Paul speaking and he says 114 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,760 he's he's talking, he's writing a letter and he's saying, I'm 115 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,320 going to come to you and I may spend the winter with you and I 116 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:10,040 will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost because I perceive, I 117 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:16,880 receive and I see a great door of effective ministry and work 118 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,080 has opened to me. But there are many adversaries, 119 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,520 many things that are opposing that, many things that are 120 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:32,159 trying to stop that. So in that context of there is 121 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:36,760 just this incredible thing happening now, but particularly 122 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,039 in the future, that there is a threat to it. 123 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,560 There's always a threat to it, but God makes a way, Amen. 124 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,640 Because he is God Almighty, isn't he? 125 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,440 And so in that context, he now addresses something in the 126 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,360 church. It's everywhere in this world. 127 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,480 It's always been here because it's a part of the fall. 128 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,680 But we as the church are the ones, we are the part of the 129 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:04,680 solution, not a part of the problem. 130 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:11,040 So he says when Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to 131 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,240 fear. Say nothing to fear, nothing to 132 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,680 fear. When Timothy comes to you, see 133 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:22,720 to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you. 134 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,400 For he is carrying on the work of the ministry of the Lord, 135 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,760 just as I am. Like Paul would come to a church 136 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:37,160 and they go, the apostle Paul's here and there'd be honour and 137 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:42,320 respect and and everything. And then when Timothy comes, but 138 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,600 he's just like Paul, they may treat him a different way. 139 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,360 Yeah. And so he goes. 140 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,840 Paul goes on to say no one then should treat Timothy with 141 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,400 contempt. There's the anointing in this 142 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,040 place. Don't worry if it gets really 143 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,720 quiet, we don't need to hype anything up. 144 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,960 We need to let Lord, the Lord, do whatever he wants to. 145 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,920 Lord, come and do whatever you want to. 146 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,640 Amen. Yeah. 147 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,560 We don't like sometimes we don't like the silence. 148 00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:24,640 Sometimes we don't like that the anointing comes and the 149 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,760 anointing is powerful in this place and he, the Holy Spirit 150 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,160 will settle on you because there are peoples who in this church 151 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:38,000 whose life has been affected by contempt in Jesus name, Amen. 152 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,160 He said no one should treat him with contempt. 153 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,680 Send him away in peace that he may return to me. 154 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,360 So there is a blockage. There may be already a blockage 155 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,480 for Timothy as it's like Timothy's on the bill. 156 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,360 Oh, I might not come to church. Oh, it's just Timothy. 157 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,080 But if Paul was on the bill, everyone's, there's no chairs. 158 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,200 And it's like that's got to stop. 159 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,480 That's got to stop in every sector of life. 160 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,160 Amen. I know you're with me. 161 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,280 Different word, isn't it? The word contempt in that 162 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:23,280 context means hold on, OK? It means despised, it means 163 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,080 rejected. It means disrespected, deemed as 164 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,400 unworthy and of little value, worthless. 165 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,240 Let's discard that. Let's discard that person. 166 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,400 Let's throw them away. Let's snub them, disapprove of 167 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,320 them, exclude them. Let's disdain them. 168 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,320 And even let's mock them. Let's talk about them. 169 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,920 Let's let's, you know, slander them. 170 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:57,600 This, this will 'cause something to stop and I will come and give 171 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,680 this word and then go away. OK, well, thank God until she 172 00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:05,720 comes back again. But this, this word needs to be 173 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,800 preached. This word needs to go out. 174 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,440 This is contempt means to withhold from a person or 175 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,640 something beyond just Jew. That's in God's word. 176 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,320 It means to neglect. And in that context, the word 177 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:27,440 neglect means to make an orphan, to make that person feel like an 178 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,560 orphan. It brings division, it draws, it 179 00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:34,640 destroys unity. It's insulting, humiliating, 180 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,880 it's mean. It's it's to hate without a 181 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,400 cause. Who else was hated without a 182 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,400 cause? Jesus Amen. 183 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:51,560 The person's experience of being made in contempt is what Paul's 184 00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:54,200 addressing. They become fearful. 185 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,960 Their spirit is broken. Their heart is broken. 186 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,440 Their mind is in torment. They are distressed. 187 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,920 They are isolated, lonely, invisible. 188 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,720 They become independent. They become clingy. 189 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,680 They become people, pleasers. Oh, come on. 190 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,240 They become performers, perfectionists. 191 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,280 They become competitive, comparing. 192 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,000 Do we want this in our family? Do we? 193 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,760 No. We want this in our church, our 194 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,800 workplace. No. 195 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,360 This is a part of the fall. It's got no place here. 196 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,800 Got no place in my heart. I got no right to held anything 197 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,720 or anybody in contempt. All the anointings here, all the 198 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:43,120 anointings here, it it, it's an accusational spirit that causes 199 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,480 division. It causes that person to be 200 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,080 vulnerable and to be a victim, to loop around in victim. 201 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,120 It becomes they, they live in obsessive they, they develop 202 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,120 approval addiction, affirmation addiction and inclusion 203 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,840 addiction, which is now the world calls FOMO, fear of 204 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,280 missing out. The world knows this and at 205 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,680 times we need to hear this in our world. 206 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:14,720 There's, we know it in, in the situation of contempt of court, 207 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,600 right? We've, they still use it, but 208 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,000 you can't be in contempt of court. 209 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,800 It refers to the behaviour that disrespects or undermines the 210 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,280 authority and dignity and integrity of a court process. 211 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,240 It can involve disobeying court orders or disrupting court 212 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,320 proceedings or even interfering with the administration of 213 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,600 justice. It is a big deal. 214 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,440 There is contempt of law. And now we're sort of going at a 215 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,640 macro level, coming down to an individual level. 216 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,400 There can be whole communities that all gather together because 217 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,080 misery loves company. Same, same like, attracts like. 218 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,000 And so contempt of law is lawlessness, criminality and 219 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,800 then a seared conscience. Yeah. 220 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,280 So we have, we can. And we see that there is 221 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,320 contempt at work that people just sort of like, treat it as 222 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,600 lightly. I can turn up late. 223 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,720 I can flog all this, all the stationary. 224 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,960 You know, I can leave early, then I can lie about it. 225 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:22,760 We have contempt for the government. 226 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,280 Yeah. It's we're so fickle. 227 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,120 We, we elect a new, new government. 228 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,920 We're like, and within two weeks, we're like rotten 229 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,560 government. And then we have contempt of 230 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,120 life, we have contempt for our family. 231 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,440 Sometimes we have contempt for others. 232 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,640 And we can even have contempt of God that what he says and what 233 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,360 he asks us to do. We just sort of muck around with 234 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,920 it and it's God's. Don't worry, this will, this 235 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,120 will shift. OK, this won't go down, but we 236 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:01,880 are going down again into the valley of the shadow of of death 237 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,720 because it will block it will stop an individual, a family. 238 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,920 But the most destructive of all that God is addressing is 239 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,000 contempt of self. We can have that. 240 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,080 I am nothing, I am worthless. And this is a carry on from the 241 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,000 ministry that God has called us to do this weekend. 242 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,800 And so we are saying, Lord, do whatever you want to and it's 243 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:37,680 causes an orphan spirit and this spirit whispers or shouts you 244 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:43,960 are not enough. It encourages you to strive and 245 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,640 drives you out into the wilderness to isolate and it 246 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,680 makes you believe that you don't belong. 247 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,680 This is a lie in the name of Jesus and we know it. 248 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:04,319 This is not your portion. God does not hold you at a 249 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:10,839 distance in contempt. He draws US, doesn't he? 250 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,319 Do not partner with this lie and this stronghold. 251 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,720 Amen. Whenever God in His Word calls 252 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:25,040 it a spirit, it affect. It can be a evil spirit that 253 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,760 possesses or oppresses, but it affects our breathing because 254 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:34,800 the word there is pneuma breath. And when we live in fear and 255 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,720 when we live in pain and when we live lonely and isolated 256 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,720 wandering around in the wilderness, we it affects our 257 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,200 breathing and we're hardly breathing and we're like a 258 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,200 smoking flax. But today the Lord not, maybe 259 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:59,280 not in a shout out mighty way. Don't underestimate that, let 260 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,560 God be God.

He doesn't do that. 275 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,480 He just loves. Amen. 276 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,480 Because he is love. But God loves you for for no 277 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,120 reason at all. Oh, come on. 278 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,680 It's just incredible. The orphan spirit causes you to 279 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,240 feel insecure and rejected. If you have been feeling 280 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,520 unworthy, unloved, overlooked, and in need of constant 281 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,760 validation and affirmation, you are experiencing you are 282 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,960 struggling with an orphan spirit. 283 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,200 The orphan spirit will cause you to strive. 284 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,960 If you have a feeling like you are never good enough. 285 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,200 It will cause you to pursue perfection, people pleasing, 286 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,680 striving, and depending on yourself. 287 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,280 It will cause you to perform posture. 288 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,800 God was bringing that word in that we posture ourselves before 289 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,880 God.

Posturing and positioning 358 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,000 yourself that the last shall be first. 359 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,880 He he saves the the the best wine to the last in Jesus name. 360 00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:37,360 The orphan spirit prevents you from trusting God's love and it 361 00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:40,600 will have you viewing God as distant, harsh, conditional in 362 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,360 His love rather than a loving ABBA father. 363 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,760 The orphan spirit prevents you from asking God and other people 364 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:53,640 for help, will drive you out in incredible independence. 365 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,520 I ended up like this and God, just, I, it was survival mode. 366 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,240 I had to look after myself 'cause there was nobody else to 367 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,360 depend on and and God didn't have a hard time. 368 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,120 I had a hard time letting that go because I'd got in touch with 369 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,760 just that. Oh, I can't stand this feeling. 370 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,880 I just it's just the pain is unbelievable and and the panic 371 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,320 like I'm I'll literally die if I don't look after myself and it 372 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,400 will have you manipulate by using your emotions in any 373 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,720 setting and therefore it doesn't work because what you're looking 374 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,600 for love and and inclusion you're driving people away. 375 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,040 You may as well spray yourself with fly spray. 376 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:39,440 I did for years. It will cause you using anger 377 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:46,000 and distress and crying to get help instead of just asking for 378 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,480 help, asking for help. You don't have to ask everybody. 379 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,280 Go to a trusted person and just say I need a little bit of 380 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,080 confidential private help. And that person like, you know, 381 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,400 I do that. My doors always open. 382 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,520 But, but if you sort of start to be clingy and, and, and text me 383 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,680 at 2:00 AM, I'm like, I'm your Mama and OK. 384 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:14,320 And I, I am your Emma, not your Emma, but I will help you. 385 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,840 There are so many that will. If you have rooted in the, if 386 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,720 you are rooted in the fear that you're never good enough, 387 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,400 causing you to believe that there is a need to prove 388 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,000 yourself and yourself worth. You have an orphan spirit. 389 00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:32,800 I'm not saying you're possessed. You just have a, you just have 390 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,040 a, it's always there. It's always there. 391 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,000 It's going today. The orphan spirit causes you to 392 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,120 have a scarcity and poverty mentality. 393 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,040 It will have you believing that there is never enough to go 394 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,880 around, not enough positions in the church. 395 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,600 Not never, never get the invite. Don't buy into the lie of self 396 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,680 pity. Got run into your ABBA? 397 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,960 Run into your ABBA with this brokenness as it's rubbing salt 398 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,680 in your historic wound and let him do that work. 399 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,680 Let him do a reversal. That's what he's doing today. 400 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,760 If there's if anyone has something, then it means that 401 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,600 there is less for you. Not enough love to go around, 402 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,640 not enough opportunities. OK, not enough money, not enough 403 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,600 friends. Always afraid that you're going 404 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,240 to run out and miss out. The orphan causes spirit, causes 405 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,080 you to use your emotions to manipulate. 406 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,280 If you call, it will cause you to believe that you. 407 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,920 If you speak plainly, you'll be rejected. 408 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,120 Now, that does happen. We've got our eyes wide open. 409 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,640 All this stuff happens. Paul's addressing it. 410 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,360 Stop treating Timothy like he's nothing, OK? 411 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,200 And it will have you using emotions as a way to passively 412 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:52,000 or passive aggressively or aggressively communicate to get 413 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,440 your needs met. What you're doing is driving 414 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,960 everyone away. You're already alone. 415 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,200 You already feel like an orphan, and now you're making it worse. 416 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,480 I can preach this because this has been my journey. 417 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,000 Amen. And so I'm giving this to you as 418 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,840 a gift. Amen. 419 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,320 The orphan spirit is a spiritual stronghold in your mind, in your 420 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,720 emotions. It's making your body sick, your 421 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,520 social health. What health? 422 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,200 OK. And so the enemy wants to keep 423 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:29,080 you in a realm of the natural, convincing you that your 424 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,320 problems are just in the natural and not spiritual. 425 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,880 He will keep you fighting, blaming, accusing against flesh 426 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,240 and blood. He'll keep it grounded on the 427 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,520 ground because he knows there's going nowhere. 428 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,160 Soon as you lift it up and take it to the heavenlies and 429 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:52,640 surrender and open and come back to say ABBA Father, ABBA Father, 430 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,040 Amen. It starts to change. 431 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,400 We fight at home with our spouse, children, family, at 432 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,640 work, boss, everybody changing jobs, changing jobs. 433 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,440 There's always that person. They'll always be the person. 434 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,280 At some point, it's got to stop. You're working with the system 435 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,840 at school, teachers, government and church. 436 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,440 Amen. They can't be everywhere. 437 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,440 I know they are. OK. 438 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,160 I'm not silly. I know this does happen because 439 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,200 we live in a fallen world. But there when you are carrying 440 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,320 this, it's all you see. You are fixated on it. 441 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,200 Amen. And it's torment and it's pain. 442 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,000 God wants us to believe and grow and pray and progress and do 443 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,960 spiritual battle and warfare in our authority in Christ. 444 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,600 So that when contempt does happen to you, when abuse and 445 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:49,360 when accusation and when when it does happen to you, you do have 446 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,240 a support person that you can say, oh, man, this is this is 447 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,040 really I'm in a real attack at the moment and I just need a 448 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,200 hug. McKay Like, I'd go to Pastor 449 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,160 Rachel. I wouldn't go to a guy. 450 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,960 OK. And so you're just keeping this 451 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,480 appropriate. And so I'd go Pastor Rachel and 452 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,960 I'd say just give me a hug because that's a part of our 453 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,880 life as well. And then, you know, I need just 454 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,200 some emotional pray for me. And then I get up and I deal 455 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,760 with it in the Spirit. It may still continue. 456 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,640 I don't care. It's dealt with and I keep going 457 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,040 until it submits itself. Everything bows its knee to the 458 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,840 name of Jesus. God wants us to walk. 459 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,960 God wants us to walk in a spirit of adoption. 460 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,560 This church has got a mantle for adoption, even practically OK, 461 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,920 you're you're adopting all over, even in my family, OK. 462 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,120 And God can trust this church. This is a message for this 463 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,480 church. And you've already been 464 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,400 preaching this out. Maybe not like this, but that's 465 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,400 OK. So John 1418, God said Jesus 466 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,640 said I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you 467 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,960 often in that context means fatherless, but it means 468 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:14,080 comfortless, it means bereaved, it means pain, something has 469 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,520 died. So it's not literally an orphan. 470 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:22,280 It can be but or you might be pushed out of your family or 471 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:28,040 pushed out of somewhere and it is literal, but it causes death 472 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,720 and blockage to your dreams, your hope, your vision, your 473 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,880 abundant life, and your relationship with your father. 474 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:41,440 Psalm 655-B says he is a father to the fatherless. 475 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:48,680 Ephesians 15 says He predestined us for adoption as sons and 476 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,720 daughters through Jesus Christ, according to his pleasure of His 477 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:57,280 will, just because it gives him pleasure, just because God is 478 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,120 love. Hebrews 10/19 says so. 479 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:05,440 Dear brothers and sisters, we can now boldly enter heaven's 480 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,800 most holy place because of the blood of Jesus. 481 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,120 The spirit of adoption. Romans 815 says, For you have 482 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:21,360 not received a spirit of slavery and an orphan spirit leading you 483 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:26,880 to fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption, sons and 484 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:32,760 daughters by which we cry. ABBA Father, ABBA Father, ABBA 485 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,120 father. There is an anointing on this 486 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,840 ABBA, ABBA. There is a cry from an orphan 487 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,440 that's like my dash hound dog at the moment when I leave the 488 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:50,440 room, it goes and she's like 14 weeks old because she loves me. 489 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:55,200 And she's like, you know, And so there is a cry, there is a 490 00:31:55,240 --> 00:32:00,040 constant crying and it might not come out your mouth, but it, it 491 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,080 needs to come out. It needs to be released. 492 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,600 It needs to be not in sort of any disruptive way here. 493 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,240 But at some point if God leads you as you get on your face with 494 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,400 him and that spirit and all the pain from that comes out. 495 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:21,160 When Joseph, when Joseph was, things were corrected for him. 496 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:26,160 He let out a whale that the whole palace heard. 497 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,480 The whole palace heard. Just the years of compounded 498 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,360 living with this thing. Let it go, cry out. 499 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:40,680 Let it go and then cry out. ABBA, ABBA, ABBA. 500 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,080 There's a come on. ABBA, ABBA, say it. 501 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,360 ABBA, ABBA. I don't care if we don't have 502 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,160 any music. OK, This is going to happen and 503 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:57,160 there's an anointing, there's a miraculous anointing, ABBA ABBA. 504 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,360 And until you believe it, until it actually sinks in and it's 505 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:06,200 now rooted and established and you and God closes the chapter 506 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,040 and you walk out this place and leave this place today changed 507 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:16,760 forever in Jesus name. Come boldly, come with faith, 508 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,160 come with all your, with everything that you are because 509 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,520 God is just waiting, but he wants a response. 510 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,200 He's just waiting. You're already in, but you don't 511 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,920 believe it. And so now this morning it's 512 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,160 going to change. The characteristics of the 513 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:38,480 spirit of adoption is rest. Instead of striving as I read 514 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,000 these out, say just breathe in under your breath. 515 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,080 I have a rest. I have the spirit of adoption. 516 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,720 I'm a son, I am a daughter. I have rest instead of striving, 517 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,080 confidence and boldness instead of fear. 518 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,080 I am brave, I am courageous. I am not timid, I am not 519 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,520 intimidated. Amen. 520 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,640 That may be happening to you, but this is a faith step. 521 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:08,360 You need to declare it. That word cry ABBA is the action 522 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,639 of a prophet, not prophesying something to come. 523 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,400 Prophesying like a prophet declaring, declaring it's 524 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:21,480 already happened. So we cry ABBA, ABBA like that. 525 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,560 Belonging instead of rejection, peace instead of torment. 526 00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:31,320 Trust instead of independence. Comparison, competition and 527 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,159 control. Protection instead of being 528 00:34:35,159 --> 00:34:39,639 unsafe and at risk. Joy instead of pain. 529 00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:45,760 Obedience instead of sacrifice. Just like telling yourself, you 530 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,800 know that lies of if I just perform, if I just do all this 531 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,880 sacrifice, look what I'm doing. Just God says, you know, 532 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,520 obedience is better than sacrifice. 533 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,080 Provision and inheritance and blessing. 534 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:05,400 Generosity instead of poverty. Balance and boundaries instead 535 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:10,600 of living in crisis and chaos and living in risk. 536 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,600 Identity in Christ instead of feeling like an impostor. 537 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:20,320 The world calls that impostor syndrome. 538 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,200 You are not treated with contempt by God. 539 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,680 Hear that. You are not treated with 540 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:34,200 contempt by God. The prodigal son had an orphan 541 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:39,480 spirit all through the Bible. We do, you know, we're, we're, 542 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,800 we were fallen and therefore we were removed from God. 543 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,920 And then God's design was that we chose him. 544 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,080 He always chose us, but we've always had this. 545 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,280 So the prodigal son went and went off and ruined his life. 546 00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,120 And then he came to his senses. But he is the orphan spirit 547 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,440 kicking in. I am no longer worthy to be 548 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,160 called the son. Oh God, fix that quick. 549 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,560 And he put it in his word so that we could preach it and 550 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:14,040 preach it and preach it. Because when he got up and said, 551 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,080 I am going to do my part in fixing this. 552 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,840 So when he got up and went to his father, but while he was 553 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:25,240 still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with 554 00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:29,120 compassion. And he ran to his son, and he 555 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,760 threw his arms around him and kissed him. 556 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,320 So as you play that song, we can do things a little bit 557 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,000 differently. I believe we are going to go out 558 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,760 with a joy, Chris and rage. OK? 559 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,120 I believe that the the worship team will come back and that we 560 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,040 will rejoice in this work. OK, Don't, don't be sort of like 561 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,920 the oh, I don't feel it, I'm not feeling it. 562 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,240 No, don't, don't do that. God's bigger than that. 563 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,960 Amen. He's shifting something within 564 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,840 you. But I want you as you listen to 565 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,280 this, the words of this song will be on the screen. 566 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,560 I want you to start saying ABBA, ABBA. 567 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,640 I am your son. I am your daughter. 568 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:21,080 I am your son. Let that cry come out because 569 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,440 what happens in when we use our faith like Pastor Mel said that 570 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,120 faith without works doesn't work. 571 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:34,840 OK, But as we start to in faith say I believe, I believe you are 572 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,400 my father. I believe that you accept me. 573 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:44,120 Something will shift and you'll get in touch with the cry of the 574 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:49,640 orphan spirit, and then you will believe it will be established. 575 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,240 Are you having trouble with that song? 576 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,400 Yeah. All right. 577 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,040 Let's just wait. God wants to do something. 578 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,800 Will you let him? Yeah. 579 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:06,320 We'll do something different. Lord God. 580 00:38:48,560 --> 00:39:02,980 Hallelujah. Bless you, Lord. 581 00:39:05,940 --> 00:39:09,940 Holy Spirit.

There's people responding. 585 00:39:15,540 --> 00:39:16,540 Come on. He's calling you. 586 00:39:17,180 --> 00:39:20,640 I'm standing. Lie down, stand up. 587 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,480 This is a this is an operating theatre today. 588 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,040 Confidence.
