“I feel like we shouldn't get too comfortable. I feel like we need to go back into that song and do a little more. Sorry, yeah. Don't hit power off yet. You know, we started out, Holy Spirit said, make space for him. And he was going to come and shift things. He is here so thick and tangibly. I could see he, you know, he comes in many forms. When Jesus was baptized, he came in the form of the dove and landed on his shoulder. And this morning, I just saw he came as such a, many times if you dream or anything, of water, oceans, rain, right? It's Holy Spirit. And this morning, there is a waterfall coming from the back of this stage.”
“How many know, you've seen some of those videos, I'm sure, when a flash flood comes, right? If there's anything that needs to be removed, that's what's happening right now in this room. Even as Denise, she was on the same, you're hearing anything that's not of him. As this waterfall comes and crashes over us, the things that are not of him, they are going to be cast out right now in the name of Jesus. So Holy Spirit, we cooperate with you and we say, yes, have your way. Have your way in this place. Have your way. Have your glory. Have your glory. Have your glory.”
“Is there anything too difficult for our God? High blood pressure. Is that too difficult for him? Migraines. Cancer. Cancer. Anything. Lack of finances. You guys aren't convincing me. Is there anything too difficult for our God? Anxiety. Depression. Anything. Anything. What about broken relationships? Can God restore broken relationships? Yes. Has anybody ever seen that? Yes. There's more to come. There's more to come.”
“We never know what Jehovah Sneaky is up to, right? But we know, I think I was telling Larry earlier, we know he never sleeps. And he never slumbers. He's always, always at work. And he's on work of whose behalf? Our. Can you imagine the God of all creation is at work on our behalf? What does that look like in your lives personally this morning? And what does that look like here in Lafayette? What does that look like in Boulder County? What does it look like beyond?”
“So whatever area in your life that you are lacking any hope in, you just need more, more eyes fixed on him, receiving more of his perfect love. And it will get rid of all fear, all doubt, and hope will arise. Amen? So is there anything too difficult for our God? There's absolutely nothing. There's people we know that are believing lies right now, that are very confused. I have faith. But God's on the move. God's at work.”
“I encourage everybody this week, I don't know if you journal or not, but even in your mind, you can ask Holy Spirit, let's go back and see every time you took me on this journey of answered prayer. That this journey of breakthroughs in my life, and I encourage you, as he highlights different ones to you, write them down. Write them down. Tell them to your children, to your grandchildren, to your neighbors, anybody that will stop for 30 seconds to listen to you. In the grocery store, at the gas station, tell them. Tell them. Because they need to know. They need to know. We are to be light.”
“We are not to be hidden under a basket. I seem to remember somebody saying, right? That somebody was Jesus. He's like, you're the light of the world. Do not be hidden under a basket, but be on a hill, drawing all to him, to see, to experience. Amen? So, we step out of our comfort zones, and we shine for him. It's not complicated. It's nothing about us. It's just surrendering to him and letting him shine through us.”
“Let me tell you, He loves them, and we love them, and we are not against them. But we do not want the confusion and the lies to continue to be spread. Instead, it's very clear in God's Word, there is male and female, and it is time that people are set free from the bondage and the lies of being confused about that. Amen?”
“We just know that there is going to be different multiplication happening to where boulder county is surrounded and it's got to surrender it's going to bow its knee and say jesus is lord and so this morning hearing about what erie just voted on it's like it's part of that it's part of that they're surrounded they have to give up anybody else excited jesus is lord this is his land it is fertile soil and he will have the final say amen”
“God says we are revival we've spoke that many times sam echoed it a few weeks ago look in the mirror if you want revival say be revived right be revived and where you go multiply shine soupper room crazy good Repentance, a mindset change.”
“You can't be a Christian and not live a supernatural life. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. You might feel like you're appeasing some sort of religious spirit by going through some motions or something, but it's not living the Christian life. So, let's not have our angels bored. Amen? Let's dream big. Believe big. Walk big. Say big declarations.”
“Our primary identity, we spoke about this last week. It's not found in our title. It's not found in our ministry, achievements, but it's being deeply loved by Father. I'm his daughter, and it doesn't get any better than that. Rod, you're his son, and it doesn't get any better than that. Come on. So you're a beloved child of God. You're not just tolerated, but you're deeply loved. Deeply loved. You're a new creation.”
“We no longer live from the past. We lead from our redeemed identity, and I know you've heard this many times, but even, you know, in the car, that's why the rearview mirror is so small, and the windshield is so big. It's like, we need to be looking forward more than we're looking back. There's such practical applications everywhere we look. God is so good. He's always just like wooing us into his truth and nudging us in the right direction. He is so good.”
“We weren't set apart to build our own platforms, to build our own names. We're chosen to carry his presence, declare his goodness, and lead others out of darkness into his marvelous light, just as he pulled us out of such darkness, out of such filth, out of such despair. Do you realize we get to partner with him in pulling others out of that?”
“I've said this before, but this isn't just poetic language here. It doesn't just sound nice. Oh, we're seated in heavenly realms. It's our spiritual reality. And of course, it's more than we can comprehend, because he needs to be bigger than we comprehend, or we've, we're not walking with the one true living God that is way bigger than we can comprehend. And we need to check who we've been listening to, or what we've been reading, or whatever, and get things right there. But our authority, our clarity, our strength, everything flows from that place. It flows from that ascended position. So we don't lead in trying to gain any victory. We already have the victory, and we live, and we lead from that.”
“Anytime you feel like you're striving for something, you've forgotten who you are. You've forgotten what these scriptures, you've forgotten what God says about you. When you're striving to like become someone, a lot of times, we're going to talk more about this in weeks to come, but a lot of times you're comparing yourself to somebody else, and God has made us each individuals, and you'll never be like anybody else. You can't. It would go against the very nature of God. He has made each one of us so special and so unique, and so anytime you feel just like you're striving, striving, striving to get somewhere and do something, be somebody, you've forgotten who you are. Go back to the Word. Go back to Father. Go back and ask, who do you say that I am? Who do you see?”
“The best way for you to be revival is to meditate on his goodness, to anchor yourself in his truth. That everything, the way you live, the way you lead, that it's this just unshakable flow. There's just such a synergy of you know what he's doing, and you're just right there. Right there, at the right time.”
“That's that, just, you're at the right time, the right place, you're hearing the right words, and there's, there's no chaos, there's no confusion. It's just like, bam, bam, bam. He is showing up and showing off like only he can, to where no person gets any glory, but only God. God, it's where you're standing in awe. Just like, wow. He did it again. He's so good. He's so marvelous. That's how we can be revival. That's how we can be strong, and we can see the kingdom of heaven actually manifest here on earth.”
“Help us to live and lead from that place of union that we could just carry your heart to people, God. To those people that you've called us to love, to serve, to disciple, to walk with.”
“I continue to say, I don't know exactly what it looks like, but there is actually one of the interns, it wasn't Nathaniel that I know of, maybe he'll remember, but they sent us a card years ago and said, I see you guys being a part of a love revival revival and I see you taking it to the streets and I just saw this like love parade going through the streets just praising, worshiping, sharing the love of God and so another thing to be praying about and maybe on our whiteboard meeting, I don't know, more of the pieces of that will come together.”
