Hi. This is Dave Olson.
I'm the senior leader of Hartman church located in Ankeny Iowa.
I hope the following message, challenges and courage's and
ultimately changes you. Thanks for joining us.
I, It's kind of a love-hate relationship, when you come into
a place where the heavens are so open, because you get so many
downloads. And and then you realize your
notes just go right out the window.
And who cares. Anyway, right?
I'm just going to talk with you from my heart and I think that's
probably the better thing to do. and, You know, April 7th woke
up. Out of a dream that I had.
And this dream, I was, I was singing the song.
This wonderful old song that Dottie Rambo wrote called Holy
Spirit, Thou Art, welcome in this place and I was just
singing in this dream and singing and singing it and it
got stronger and stronger, and stronger, until the song picked
me up and propelled me into a service.
I don't know where that was, but I was in this service and I the
whole place was just singing in the same song, Holy Spirit, that
would welcome in this place and there was nobody on the
platform. It was not platform lead.
It was just the presence of Holy Spirit, just coming down in this
place. And everyone there was caught up
in in their hearts to meet with him and and all of a sudden
Miracles, just begin to happen if you were ever had the
privilege of being and Kathryn kuhlman's meetings.
Many many was the time that she would just she'd come to a place
in the service where she would just sit down either on the
steps or on a, on a, on a chair. And say, I have nothing to do
with this anymore. It's all his, and of course, she
did have everything to do with the service but she would always
use that disclaimer and, and then in these, these spontaneous
Miracles would just begin flowing.
And And she would never let go of each Miracle until she was
sure that it was documented, in sure, that it was actually true.
And I so appreciate that about Catherine and the Integrity that
she ministered in was just it was magnificent really.
And and so it was like that in this service and and in the Holy
Spirit is just moving, and moving, just like just brooding
really over the service and, and bringing forth these wonderful,
wonderful healings and then it went from And in all manner of
healings were taking place from from amputees.
Having their limbs restored but it wasn't, they didn't grow out.
They just appeared. They just bang.
They were there. They were just restored
immediately. And, and, and is just these
unusual manifestations that were taking place.
And, and I was just caught up in this and just in so enjoying and
then and then it moved from physical healings to emotional.
Trauma, you know, there's a lot of people that are walking.
A wounded that that are that they have emotional trauma in
their lives and grief in their lives.
And there's, there's some folks in Ames this morning.
They've got some grief in their lives.
In the good news is that he's come to heal the brokenhearted
and and I and he was just flowing.
And it was I was just so aware and then it moved from emotional
trauma to mental disorders. And and, and people with Autism
were being healed and all manner of things were Taking place and
it was just so strong and it was so and it just kept building and
building and I, and I was singing and singing, Then I,
then I woke myself up singing this song.
And the presence of the Lord was in our bedroom and it was so
beautiful. He is so beautiful.
And I in faith, she's been challenged with some hip
problems and so I put my hand on her hip and I was just praying
in the Holy Ghost and then she woke up and what are you doing?
And and so I told her the dream and we began to pray together
and and we prayed and we prayed until she went back to sleep and
I couldn't go to sleep. I just got up and and when I
woke myself up, it was 444 in the morning. and I glanced at
the clock on there and 444 in the morning and This morning,
the Lord woke my wife up at 444 in the morning, and I just got
this feeling that we've got our toes hanging over the edge of a
threshold. I think you better get buckled
up. Praise God.
You know, get get your helmet on and I ride motorcycles, and, and
it's sometimes it's just time to put your helmet on and, and,
and, and, and, and strap it on and get ready to go.
Because I believe with all my heart, that God is going to
release This wonderful flow of healing once again in a
magnanimous way, in a big way that nobody can attach their
name to. And, and he's just going to come
And and do these kinds of things and we need to, we need to be
prepared and so in preparation. The Lord put this word in my
heart, I want to share with you if I may and if you've got your
Bibles of whether and I've given up with the with the paper and
leather, you know, trying to demand that people bring their
Bibles to church. Well, you've got your Bibles.
Whether it's electronic, I don't care if you know, get an app
that I can hear the pages turning or something.
And I like the sound of the pages of the Bible turning and
things like that. I'm guess I'm just old school
but if you've got your Bibles turn with me to Psalms 102 and I
don't think that this is just a sermon.
I do think that this is a word that that is being released in
my heart and in my spirit and and I'm going to depend on Holy
Spirit for the release. Of this word.
And I'm probably going to be struggling.
I got cataract surgery last year and so I'm in between these
things of readers. And reading and I don't know,
it's crazy. but I want to pick it up in verse, Well, before I
do that. This Psalm is a prayer.
Of The Afflicted, when The Afflicted is overwhelmed.
And and the psalmist begins to pour out this this incredible
pressure on the heart of a cry that comes forth and and the
psalmist like most of us. Do we were overwhelmed we begin
to pour our complaint out to the Lord.
He do you guys do that and I found out a long long time ago
it doesn't make him nervous. To hear my complaints and he's
patient to hear them by the way, and, and he's kind and he waits
till we pour it all out and then he begins to speak to us.
And so the psalmist, pours, the complain out and pours the
problems out. So that, that it's plain before
the Lord, and plane out of their heart and then begins to
prophesy. Out of out of their complaint.
They've lifted their eyes up high enough, you know, we begin
pouring our complaints out and then we begin lifting our eyes
up because we need an answer to the complaint and the only
answer that we're going to gets from him.
And the fact of the matter is is he is the answer, right?
I mean a lot of times we're looking for answers that he can
pull out of his pocket and hand to us and we think that that
would satisfy us but that's really not what his answer is.
His answer is that he just Was up.
He just comes in a makes his presence known and and so this
prophetic word comes and it says in verse 13, it says speaking
speaking to the Lord you will arise and have mercy on Zion.
In the scriptures, Zion speaks of the people of his presence.
You will arise in have mercy on Zion for the time to favor her
her. Yes the set time has come for
your servants, take pleasure in her stones and show favor to her
dust. So the nation shall fear the
name of the Lord and all the kings of the earth, your glory
for the Lord shall build up Zion.
He shall appear in his glory and here's what he does.
When he appears in his glory, he shall regard the prayer of the
destitute and not despise Prayer.
And this will be written for the generation to come that a people
yet to be created, May praise the Lord, that's us for.
He looked down from the height of his Sanctuary from Heaven,
the Lord view the Earth, you know, in Psalms 113.
It says, there's that scripture there that says, he humbles
himself to look down into heaven, Do you do realize, don't
you that that that eternity is inside of him?
An inside of him is, is eternity and inside of that is heaven.
And inside of inside of that is the cosmos.
And inside of that is is humanity.
And inside of an inside of humanity, he created us for his
glory to be placed in invested on the inside of our being.
He put eternity in our hearts. That's what the scripture says.
And so he looks down into his heart into eternity.
Into the cosmos. From the very highest expression
of his being. He's looking for this.
To hear the groaning of the prisoner.
To release those appointed to death and to declare the name of
the Lord in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem.
And When God says, when the scripture, say he declares his
name, what he's doing is he's opening up the Veil.
Of his heart. And and when he says I'm, he's
going to declare his name. He opens the veil up so that we
can see his character and his nature.
Because name in scripture is synonymous or equal to Nature
character. Right?
And so so God says you, you might think you might know who
you think I am. But let me tell you who I really
am. I've come to hear the groaning
of the prisoners. I've come to release them.
I've come because I am savior. It's not just an action that he
did. That's who he is.
That's his character. That's his nature.
And out of his nature. He pours out all the elements of
who he is and we're just beginning to discover who he is.
We think we know. Yeah, I remember I was Junior
and Bible College in dear Lord, I knew everything.
And if you didn't believe me, I would tell you, I know
everything. And then God came.
And I've begun realizing ever since and that's it's almost
depressing but I've lived on the planet for seven decades. and I
realized, I don't know anything. And I've never been so at peace.
And I've Never Been So Satisfied.
As to know nothing as I ought to know.
And the longer I walk with him. And the more that he Reveals His
nature to me the more I realized dear God, hey I really don't
know you, you know, Paul at the end of his life he wrote in in,
he wrote and he wrote this letter and he says I want to
know him at the end at the end of his ministry.
He's writing a letter says, I really want to know him.
What's wrong, Paul? Aren't you morning?
Yes, I'm course. I'm born.
Again, I want to know him. I want to know him.
I want to know him, I want him to speak.
I want him to reveal. I want him to pull back that
Veil so that I can see him. Evermore.
See, him years ago, I was in, I was in was in Korea and God
opened up this really strange door to me and and this door was
he opened up. It's a long long detail story
but I'm going to I'm going to cut it really short.
My wife will be proud of me because I love the details and
you know we've almost got a role reversal thing going on between
us because she likes to cut to the Chase and I like the detail.
It's just, I don't know, it's the feminine side of me.
I guess I don't know and and And we got confused somewhere along
the way and I get the details and she gets cut to the Chase.
And anyway, I'll cut to the chase.
The door opened up through a wonderful healing of a lady in
Korea in Seoul and she had stage 4 stomach cancer and she had
about a tumor that made her look like she was six, seven months
pregnant and and I was teaching in a mission school and I
invited her to come there because I had known her
previously in our. Should we?
She we pastored in Hawaii. This is all jumbled up, isn't
it? We pastored in Hawaii.
She was in our church and Why? And then she was back in Korea
to get treated for this stage for stomach cancer.
And so, I heard that she was there and I invited her to come
to the meeting. And I told her I said Mina, who
knows what God will do. He he can do anything, come to
the service and and maybe maybe something beautiful will happen
to your body. And so she, she came and she
came in and she was emaciated. Looking her eyes were sunken and
dark. You've probably seen the Or
known someone that was challenged with these kind of
things and and and she sat down gingerly in her chair and and I
was teaching. And right now I don't remember
what I was teaching but I do remember this that in the middle
of a sentence, the anointing changed from a teaching
anointing to Healing anointing. And I just stopped in the middle
of the sentence with my mouth open.
And I looked at her as a mean to come here.
I think God wants to touch you, and she got in.
She got about 8 feet away from me and out into the power of
God. She goes onto the floor, and,
and she's crying. And then she's laughing, and
she's crying, and she's laughing, and she's in speaking
in Korean and speaking in English, and then speaking in
tongues, and then just crying and laughing, and she was a
mess. And we all gathered around a
course class was over now, because now it's Audio Visual.
And the real teachers there. And, and she's there on the, on
the floor. And she starts laughing with
this deep, deep belly laugh, and then she starts hitting her
stomach. I'm Healed.
I'm Healed, I'm Healed. And then she said, and we stood
there, and we watched, we watched her stomach, go down to
normal and and Has she got up off the floor and her face was
like these lights that are in my eyes.
She was beaming and she danced all over the place and she ran
and she danced and she didn't know what to do with herself.
And all the rest of the class, didn't know what to do with
themselves either. So they danced and they ran.
And it was wonderful, and I didn't have to teach anymore.
Because, Holy Ghost was teaching and she came back the next day
and and their face was so beautiful, no Darkness around
her eyes. Her face was filled out,
beautiful. There was just she looked the
picture of health and she said to me, listen you and I'm going
to skip a bunch of details and go to what she said to me a
little bit later on, she says, listen, you're going to get a
telephone call, please just say yes.
And I said, okay. I'll do it and I got a call from
a professor in a university. And he said that he was the the
chair or the professor of the department he was at from pusan,
National universities. This secular University, he
says, I'm the chair of the Department of cultural content
and development. What is that?
That's what I thought. I didn't say it, but I thought
it And he says it's a new department and he said I didn't
have a says I'm a Christian and it's a new department and I
didn't I didn't have any curriculum and I called the
president and said, what is this a joke?
And he said no, he says you need to write your own curriculum.
You're a doctor. And and so he says, I prayed
about it and asked the Lord, what he wanted to do with the
Department of cultural content development.
In the Lord said to me, I want to bring the culture of the
Kingdom of Heaven into the university cultural system.
And so he said, would you please come and speak to us for two
days? Two hours a day on the culture
of the kingdom of heaven and I said, oh yeah, I'll I'll do
that. I'll do that.
And and and so I went there and I was scared spitless mean my
mouth was dry. Because I respect education, I
do and I love education. It's wonderful.
And and in fact, I'm educated far beyond my intelligence and
and it's just the reality. And but I was I so honored these
perfect and in then he says, oh by the way, you're not talking
to my students, you're talking to the professors of the
University. No pressure.
And so, I went there and I was, it was on a Monday night, I was
in my hotel room. I mean, they put me on this
train. So the bullet trains,
Hallelujah, 220 miles, an hour. I love speed and and, and
blasted down to pusan. It's on the southern tip of the
peninsula of Korea and I'll just butchered my notes today.
So I'm just going to keep going and And we got down there and I
was it was on Monday night. I was supposed to start speaking
on Tuesday morning at 10:00 and I didn't know what I was going
to tell them. God likes that, I don't. and so,
I prayed and I walked and I laid down and I lay down my back and
prayed, and I got on my face and prayed, and I got on my knees
and prayed, and I walked outside and prayed and I, and I wrung my
hands and I prayed and I and finally, the Lord spoke to me,
and he said, Son, you can only give them what you have.
You cannot give them what you don't have.
And peace came. And so I opened up my Bible at
ten o'clock the next morning in a conference room with 14.
Professors and and and I begin to speak to them about the
culture of the Kingdom of Heaven, out of Exodus chapter 33
where God said to Moses. I'm going to send you into the
land. I'm going to give you everything
that I wanted to give you and that I told you that I would
give you but I'm not going. I'm going to send an angel with
you and Moses is. Whoa, back the truck up.
I don't know an angel, but I do know you and I'm not going
without you. I didn't start this.
You started it. And here's this amazing
interaction between the heart of Moses in the heart of God.
And I'm, and I'm releasing this word to the to these professors,
and they're crying. And the in my translator,
Professor Kim. And there's a million Kim's in
Korea and Professor Kim, he would stop me.
And he would say, just a moment, just a moment.
And then he would burst into tears and he would cry and cry,
and cry, and cry and cry, and then he would compose
themselves. Okay, we can go now and, and it
was that kind of a dynamic happening in this.
Room of professors University professors and and God was
there. And and and it was beautiful.
And I structured it as I was going along so that I could
start the next day. Wednesday morning at 10:00 with
the statement of Moses prayer. Show Me Your Glory.
And that would be my opening statement for the second day.
And and so we went and finished at 12 noon and And, and, and
then Professor Kim says, okay, this is wonderful.
You finished just like a professor use finished on time.
And, and I said, okay, Hallelujah.
And and then, and then the second day, I started and, and I
read my texts, Show Me Your Glory.
And this, this woman Professor raises her hand.
And I stopped. And I said, yes.
And she says, excuse me. She says, is this lecture only
or can we ask questions? And God stuck a finger in my
brain and I went stupid for a moment. and I said to this
University Professor from a secular University, oh sure, ask
any question you want and then I realized what I said and I
looked into the woman's eyes and her eyes are gleaming.
And I realized that this woman is stronger than 40 acres of
garlic. And she said, I understand by
your lecture yesterday that God allows debate in his kingdom.
And I love debate she said because it's one of the finest
forms of education and she's right.
It's true. And Out of Heaven, comes this
answer that bypassed my brain. Jumped into my heart and somehow
came out of my mouth. And I said to her, yes, he does
allow debate in his kingdom but you must understand that Moses
debated, God not on the basis of his intelligence, but on the
basis of God's integrity and I'd never heard that before.
And she looked at me like I, she didn't know and her mouth fell
open and tears, begin jumping out of her eyes.
Running down her face. She puts her head on the
conference table and she says, my God my God I missed it by
light years. I think we miss it by light
years. when we think that we know anything, About him.
And I think that God is intending on purpose.
He's designed it to happen this way that he wants us to stop
thinking about him and start thinking with him.
And I have the mind of Christ activated on the inside of us.
I mean, if you're wearing a wrist band, this will date me a
little bit, but it really doesn't date me.
Because I go much further back than this if we're wearing on
our wrist band, a wwjd, what would Jesus do?
And we're in a situation and we look down at our wristband.
Why would Jesus do? What would you what would Jesus?
We've already missed it. He's moving faster than the
speed of light. Did you did you know, back in
1996 what further further, further back, did you ever heard
of this guy by the name of Albert?
Einstein he I didn't know him. By the way, about Peta.
Hold But he did die. After I was born, But he States
in his research and he couldn't quantify what he saw, but he saw
something and what he saw was he termed it scary fast, scary fast
but he didn't have the technology to quantify what he
saw. And he didn't quite have the
understanding to put it together to put it into words into and
actually find out and discover what he was seeing.
But he But in so he didn't have any other words, so he says,
it's so I see something scary fastest what he said.
In 1990s, they discovered what he saw.
And what they discovered was the way the kingdom of God is
operates. What they discovered was is if
you take a particle that's negatively charged and you take
a particle that's positively charged and you bring them
together and this is now the words of science.
Now they're beginning to discover the kingdom a little
bit by little bit and and they're saying that when you
bring these two particles together and they they Come
entangled until a state of intimacy is achieved.
And then you separate them and you put one particle in Los
Angeles and you put the other particle in Boston.
When one moves, the other one reacts.
And the slowest speed, that it reacts is 10,000 times.
The speed of light. That's called Oneness.
And Jesus prayed that we would be one with the father even as
he is one with the father and that we would be one with each
other even as they are in us and we are in them and we are there
and we achieve a state of intimacy to wear when he moves
we move. When we, when he speaks we
speak. This is what Jesus.
This is what Jesus meant. When he said he says look guys.
I can't do anything. Jesus, I can't do anything.
I can only do what I see. The father do. later on he says
I only say I only judge I only say what I hear the father say
You imagine a guy like that looking for a job as a pastor,
in a church. And he's being interviewed by
the church, pastoral search committee.
Jesus beings interview. Well, you know, tell us tell us
what your programs are. I can't do anything.
I can't do anything guys. Can't do anything.
No. No I can't I can't do anything.
What can you give us a copy of your sermons?
Well I only I only say What I Hear My Father say, I don't have
any. I just only I only do what I see
him do. And I only say I don't think
that they're going to keep him around for very long.
I Think Jesus would be turned away as a Shepherd in modern-day
Church in Western culture. and I think, That God is shaking us up
more and more and more and more and more, and more and more.
Until we become so dependent on him.
That We crave and we long for the Fulfillment of the answer of
his prayer. Father, I pray that they are one
with me as I am with you. And then you are with me and
then we're in you and you are in us and we're all become this
conglomerate, Oneness Beyond, Unity, Beyond agreement.
So at one that were looking at each other and knowing together,
this is what he's doing and so this prayer this prophetic word.
He says, you will arise in have mercy on Zion for the time to
favor her. Yes, the set time has come And
Hebrew. You've got a whole bunch of
words for time, but there's three primary words.
One is ADD and add is is time from from time, beginning to
time ending its time in in in continuity it's all time, it's
everything. And then inside of that inside
of that, you've got, could you throw me that water bottle,
honey? It's at your feet.
Thank you, Dave. Then you've got inside of, add
it. And at is is now time.
And now time can be a moment or it can be a season.
And it can be from a moment to like a year or more, but it's a,
this this, this, this section. It's a specific section of time
inside of the time. Continuum.
And then, inside of it, you've got Mo made and mo Wade, mode
is, is it's a set time. It's like an appointment, you
have an appointment to be at a certain place.
At a certain time to meet a certain person.
And they're coming there for a pre disposed objective.
This is a really special thing. This moment because mo8 is
what's applied to like the feasts and the offerings in the
old Covenant. And and in fact, today is the
day of Pentecost, isn't it? We're celebrating the day of
Pentecost and and so, we're in a moment literally.
And I think that we're in a moment spiritually.
And I think that God is calling us together at a right time in
the right place, that's already predetermined for Covenant to
come into existence and to be expressed and for something to
take place in this moment season.
Now, there's ammo Wade for a woman to conceive.
And there's a moment for a woman to deliver.
There's a mowing for a prophetic word to be given and then
there's a MOAB for a prophetic word to, to be fulfilled.
And what happens in between these, bookend appointments for
one to be conception to take place, or to, or to be, or to be
a prophetic word, to be released, and given utterance
and released into the atmosphere.
So that, that something is Triggered for that to take
place. And for, then, for it to be
fulfilled later on, there's this space in between these, these
two Mo, eight appointments. And what happens between these
two modes? Appointments is really, really,
really, really really, really, really, really important.
Because what needs to take place in this in this tooth bookends?
Is preparation maturity development and that comes
through activated prayer. and and here in the scripture and in
verse 13, He says for the time at To favor, Zion.
Yes. The mo Aid the set time has come
And so what he is saying is he says look guys something has
happened here. There is there's something that
has been prophetically released already, it's in the atmosphere,
it's working and it's functioning and and and God has
brought development development preparation maturity and now he
says, and now it's time to be fulfilled.
Now, everybody and their dog wants a prophetic word to be
given to them. But if we were really, really,
really sharp. We would gravitate to the ways
of the kingdom of God. And understand that once that
prophetic word has been released, we have a part to play
in it now because it's been conceived in our hearing, it's
conceived in our heart. It's conceived in the
congregation. It's conceived in a Ministry.
It's been released and it's in, it's going, it's moving now.
Things are happening. Even though you cannot see it.
It's happening. It's in that unseen dimension.
And the Lord wants us to wake up to the degree that we can begin
to see the invisible and here the inaudible so that we can do
the impossible. And so, when he releases that
prophetic word in our hearts and our lives, we have to understand
that with that. That's when the time the time
clock is ticking now, honey. It's, it's, it's moving.
When a woman conceives, it's just a matter of time, things
are going to change her diets. Going to change.
The way, the way she walks is going to change, we were
pastoring in Hawaii. Oh, I'm sorry.
I just got the - I just got the vote of no confidence.
I can't tell you this story. But there have been women. that
have said to their husbands, Stay there.
Do I do.
Do I walk. Like, I'm pregnant.
In any husband with half a molecule of the mind of Christ.
Understands that that's called a man trap.
These are questions. You do not answer.
These are questions where you begin prophesying, honey, you
look beautiful just like you are so make it okay.
Okay, here's the deal. You have been impregnated as a
congregation. You're carrying multiple
prophetic words. This congregation you.
You're not just going to have one baby, you're going to have
multiple children. And they're on their way. and
there have been times that you have felt like your clothes
didn't fit you and they don't You need to change your garment.
in the fashion world, there's this curious size of garments,
it's pretty kind of strange, really It's got on the tag.
It doesn't have S4 small or medium for medium or large or
extra large or extra extra large on it.
This, this particular size of clothing, says one size, fits
all It's really strange. in the realm of the spirit, we've got a
garment that's one-size-fits-all and it's called the Garment of
Praise What Pastor was saying this morning is extremely
accurate and extremely important that when we move into that
dimension of high praises, and let me tell you something,
there's, there's there's Dimensions up there that we have
not tapped into yet. There's Dimensions up there that
when we tap into those things, it triggers the Fulfillment of
the monad that's been prophesied.
And when we move into that Dimension, Everything Changes.
And you put that Garment of Praise on and what has been
prophetically released into the world into a city, or into a
region, into a city into a congregation and into individual
Hearts. When those prophetic words have
been released, and they take, The devil is going to do
everything that he can do to abort that.
He's going to try to get your eyes everywhere except where it
should be. He's going to try to a draw,
your attention everywhere, where it shouldn't be.
And you must understand that we have an integral part in.
When God releases prophetic words between then, and when
they're fulfilled, And then after, I'm not even going to go
into that today because I've only got seven more minutes, but
here's the deal. We've got to get this.
And Kenny Iowa depends on this. The Des Moines region depends on
this. The state of Iowa depends on
this and the nation of the United States of America.
Depends on what we do. With the prophetic words, that
God gives to us, I'm telling you.
You are far more important than you think you are.
You're far more important than you think you are.
Far more. And when we get this, something
is going to take place and, and in time is going to change.
And our development is going to change and we're going to begin
to eat different. We're going to begin to walk
differently, we're going to begin to dress differently.
Why? Because there's a baby that's
coming. There's the Fulfillment of a
prophetic word. That's going to come to pass.
And we can expedite this thing. With the garments that were
wearing and the praise that were that we're involved with and the
prayer, the intercessory prayer that we go into that dimension
of of groaning and joining the whole world with the prayer that
says, Lord, they want to, they want to see your son's.
They want to see your daughter's then want to see the real deal.
They've seen the thing that's not real and they're tired of
it, and they don't want a part of it. what they want is they
want to see the real thing, and when we tagged into this, I'm
telling you you're going to look different, you're going to talk
different, you're going to walk different, you're going to dress
different because you're going to realize what you're carrying.
I'll finish with this. It's okay.
Honey. If I talk about diamonds, that's
okay. Okay. normally, she's not with
me, but I liked it better when she's with me.
For years and years and years. We lived from hand to mouth.
What kind of still do. But, but we really did before
and I had always wanted to buy my wife things that I could
never afford. No way.
Could I fought it. And one day, this person came up
to me and gave to me and offering And put it in my hand
and it was a large offering. and, and And they held their
hand over my hand. And I said to them, thank you.
And they wouldn't let me go. They said, Bill, I know you.
Okay. I'm not letting go of this,
because you need to understand what this offering is for.
Okay. I know you.
So I need to tell you what this is for.
This is for you and Faith. This is not for Missions.
Bold letters, underlined highlighted.
This is not for Missions. This is not for church
offerings. This is not for sowing into
somebody else. This is for you and this is for
Fay. Do you understand me?
They weren't going to let go. Until I said yes.
And then they said to me snared by the words of your mouth.
It's a scripture. And so, I received this offering
and I thought about some things that I wanted to give my wife
and we have a, we have a friend, he's a wonderful man of God.
He is, he was in our first church that we pastured on the
island of Maui and Hawaii. And and his name is John and I
called him up and I said, John, I've always wanted to buy Faye a
diamond pendant. Would you help me?
I don't want to just buy something that somebody else has
created. Would you create this for me?
Because he didn't just buy and sell jewelry?
He was an artist and he created jewelry.
And so he and he was good, my goodness, he's retired now.
But he was really good. And I said, so John.
Here's what I'm thinking. And so I described to him what I
wanted three diamonds, I didn't care the size of the diamonds, I
cared the quality of the diamond, and I said, and I said,
I want you to make it and he did it, he made, And he called me up
and he says, it's done, he sent me a picture and I said, oh my
that's exactly like what I was seeing in my mind.
He says this is it bill. It's beautiful.
I said yeah. It is he says do you have a
chain that would match this gold?
And I said no I don't he says I do.
I will sell it to you for my cost.
And oh, by the way, guys, there's a huge.
There's a huge thing. Jack, the prices up in jewelry,
I'm telling you is a huge markup.
Are there any Jewelers in here? I'm sorry.
I didn't even think to ask that before I get myself into trouble
like that. And and so he I said, okay, fine
and he says, I'm going to send this to you and then I'll send
you the I'll send you the invoice.
It's okay. He sends me the pendant and he
sends me that chain. And then he sends me to invoices
one for the pendant and one for the chain.
I don't know why he didn't put them together.
And so I don't know about anybody else.
But I know my desk and my desk is messy and I read an article
one time that said, that messy desks are for extremely
organized. People an extremely organized
Minds. I read it is Real.
It was a real article. They did a study actually, did a
study on it. It's probably somebody that, you
know, got a grant because they had a messy desk.
And so I took these two invoices and I put them in my messy desk
in drawers separate from each other.
This is a key bit of information, by the way, And so,
then I waited for a nondescript day, not a birthday, not a
holiday, not a special day, not any kind of a special day at
all. I waited for the dullest Dulles,
Dulles possible day. I could find to give her this
diamond pendant because this was about her, it wasn't about
celebrating. Anything else, it was about
celebrating her Come on ladies. I thought I'd get an amen and
amen from the ladies in the house.
It's genius, isn't it? Okay, good.
And so, I went up to her and I said to her, okay, I've got a
gift for you. What is it?
I said, close your eyes flying. This is this is pink and blue.
The pink and blue. Always do this kind of dynamic.
I've got a gift, what is it? Close your eyes, why?
Because I want to give you the gift.
Well what is it? And a, close your eyes?
Right? And it's this dance, you know,
this delicate dance and finally get her to close her eyes.
And I said, hold your hair up and I got behind or not.
Put fastened this pendant on it right in front of a big mirror.
And I said, okay, now you can open your eyes and she opens her
eyes up and oh, she's looking at the mirror and looking at this
pinned and, you know, and it's just perfect.
It's just right. Just below the, the bottom of
the neck. It's just, it's perfect.
It's part, it's beautiful, and the lights gleaming on it and of
the colors are going and Three days later.
She's getting dressed, I go into the area where she's dressing
men, do these things and and she standing in front of the mirror,
she's already got the pendant on and so I come up behind her and
I put my arms around her and I kissed you on the back of her
neck and I said, honey, will you do, please do me a favor.
She says, what's that I said? And I'm looking at her in the
mirror and she's looking back at me in the mirror.
I said, would you please be careful about this piece of
jewelry because I cannot replace this and when I said that she
rolled her eyes, And I said, why did you roll your eyes?
I didn't. Yes, you did.
No, I didn't. Yes, you did.
I saw you roll your eyes. I didn't roll my eyes.
Yes, you did. I saw you pink and blue, right?
and she then said to me will bill, you know, and I know that
these are only cz's. There's not real diamonds.
Because we can't afford real diamonds.
Yeah, I know that's what I tell ya and I said, you really think
that. And she said, yes.
Pull my phone out. Call my friend, John Cougar and
Maui. It's 10:00 in the morning in
Texas. Five o'clock in the morning in
Hawaii. He's my friend.
John. Yeah.
Bill, it's 5:00 in the morning. What are you calling 5:00 in the
morning? I said, John can you do me a
favor? Yes, of course I've done.
It's 5:00 in the morning Bill. I said, John, could you please
tell Faye how much this pendant cost really Bill?
Really? Yeah, really, please.
John, she doesn't believe that it's real.
And so I put the phone up to her ear and John says Fay.
Yeah, the pendant is real. The diamonds are real. and then
I take the phone away, and I said, John thank you so much and
in the meantime she standing in front of the mirror and she does
this Hmm. Shoulders.
Go back. Chest comes out.
Every man's dream. When she has that pendant on,
she walks different. She stands differently and she
doesn't even think about it. But I do and I see she even
walked different. Because now she understood the
value of what she was carrying. We don't get what we're
carrying. We don't understand the value of
what we are carrying, what we are carrying changes Heaven and
Earth. What we're carrying changes
individual lives. It changes marriages, it changes
families, it changes neighborhoods, it changes
cities, it changes regions, it changes States.
It changes Nations, and it changes a generation.
And that's only one person carrying that And when a whole
congregation carries that when the whole family of God wakes up
to the reality of who we are carrying in our generation,
we're going to walk different. We're going to stand different.
We're going to have our shoulders back and we're going
to realize the authority that we wield.
And we're going to bring to bear what's inside of his heart,
which is to advance the kingdom of heaven.
First in Earth. This Earth.
And then on Earth. Because we have to be carriers
first. And we must recognize the value.
And so God says I'm going to declare who I am to you.
And you're going to discover what you're carrying on the
inside of your heart. We're going to listen to people
differently. We're going to hear their
groans. We're going to see them through
the lenses of Holy Spirit and we're going to see who they
actually are not who they think they are.
And we are going to declare the name of the Lord in our
generation, wherever our Pulpit is my Pulpit.
Just happens to be here today. Your Pulpit is your job where
you go to tomorrow. And when you go into that job,
you got to understand that's your pulpit.
And the pulpit that God's given to you is so that you can pull
back your heart and you can let the nature of Christ come
through you to every single person that you meet and that's
how the Kingdom of Heaven comes into Earth through you.
Heartland Church. You have you have Mo made of
prophetic words, release to you, and now there's coming a mo Aid
of the Fulfillment of the promises that God has purposed
in this house. And you have had good teaching
and you have good spiritual intelligence.
But I'm telling you even with the height of your good
spiritual intelligence, you do not yet know and understand the
value of who you are carrying. And God is going to bring forth
a revelation of Christ in this house.
That you have not yet enjoyed. It's coming.
I release this by the word of
the lord. It's coming.
It's coming, it's coming. And when he releases this on the
inside of your hearts, You're going to be different, you're
going to walk different, you're going to hold yourself
differently because you understand the value of what you
are required and what you are privileged, because requirements
and privileges, always go together.
You cannot separate them responsibility privilege.
They're married. You have a responsibility to and
Kenny you have a privilege for Ankeny and that's to reveal the
Christ that's in you. That is the hope of glory not
only for you but for everybody that you meet Would you stand
with me? But father, I thank you for this
day. I thank you for this house.
I thank you for the leadership here.
I thank you for Pastor, Dave, and Pastor Kathy.
I think you for all the staff members and Heartland, I thank
you for the, the childcare workers that have been stretched
this morning by waiting on us. I thank you for the that which
you have put in their hearts to love our children.
And I thank you, Holy Spirit of what you're about to release in
this hour, in this house, in this people in this family.
And I'm asking you this morning, Lord, that you will take this
word and that you will seal it in our hearts and that you will
breathe on it in our hearts. And then you will bring us into
a dimension, where our eyes are open to see that you are a
rising even now You're changing your posture, you're changing
your position and you're moving from a place of ruling and
reigning and seated in your throne to rising up and
standing, and moving and exercising.
The Dominion of your throne in the earth.
In this hour, bring it forward, so that we can rise up to walk
with you. For that, which you have Arisen
to do, not only is it to do with what you're going to do.
It's to do to Mentor, us to see what we must do that.
We must arise that we must stand up and we must begin to walk in
the realm of your glory so that your presence will be advanced
in. Your kingdom will be advanced in
Iowa and in the heartlands of this United States.
And Lord, I'm asking you for you to change the atmosphere.
Here in this nation, I'm asking that you will change the
atmosphere of this nation and begin it in the heartlands.
Beginning in the heartlands, in the center of this nation change
the atmosphere of this nation and release your glory in this
nation. And Lord, we're asking you to
change the face of this nation and bring forth your kingdom.
That hears the groaning of the prisoners.
And here's the heart broken once, and the blind ones, and
the death ones, and those that seemingly have no hope Lord open
up our ears so that we hear what you hear.
And we see what you see that we might do what you do.
In our generation. I asked this father in The
Magnificent name of Jesus. In the Magnificent name of
Jesus, seal this word in our hearts.
And those who have not yet become impregnated, let it, let
it let it fertilize their hearts even now and let there be an
impregnation this hour. And opened the eyes of our
hearts that we might see you. I'm asking this father.
In Jesus name. In Jesus name.
I said to pasture and if, if you need to get your children,
please go get them and you can listen to this later.
I thank the pastor before I got up here, and I said to him, I
travel all over the world. but occasionally, I find a place
where I fit Can I think that I can speak for my wife and I this
morning that we fit with you guys and I love you and I thank
you for the privilege and the honor of coming into this house.
And and I, I have homes all over the world, but I don't pay the
taxes to them. And so if you will let me and my
wife hang around will hang around as long as you let us in
the future. And I'm going to be so bold as
to say that, I think maybe we belong to each other.
And maybe I just answered your question.
