Honor and Order: Kingdom Protocols for Unity and Authority

There are two things that are established when there is honor and order. Number one, unity is sustained. Honor preserves the unity of the body of Christ. Dishonor fractures teams, relationships, and ministries. Honor binds us together, creating fertile ground for the holy spirit to move. Alright. That's important. If you haven't got honor and you're trying to move in the spirit or you got disunity and people thinking more highly themselves than they ought, you're never gonna have a move of god that's gonna be sustained. Moves of god are gonna get ripped up by dishonor. [01:41:36] (42 seconds)  #HonorUnites

See, everyone says, oh, we've all got the blessing of God. Now we're two or three gathered together in Amor. There he is. Get out of here. I want a different form of blessing where God in heaven looks down upon Encounter Church Auckland and says that church has got respect, honor, They've dealt with discrimination. They've established good order, leadership, and so forth. Angels get down there and bless that church. That's the ordered blessing of God, and it's different from we being one being in agreement. I want the ordered blessing of God where he yells out of heaven, get down there, angels. Bless that church in a mighty way, and I receive it in Jesus' name. [01:43:35] (57 seconds)  #OrderedBlessing

One of the great moments in the life of Jesus was he was in a boat and a storm was brewing, and these experienced fishermen who were used to the storms on the sea, but they were terrified that they were gonna lose their lives, and Jesus was asleep. And they woke him up and he basically said to them, what's the matter with you? Why have you got no faith? And then he did the most amazing thing, he just faced the storm and he said, I command the storm to be still. And immediately it was stilled, and the people were taken instantly to their destination.

You would be absolutely amazed how many people have come and said, God has spoken to me to do blah blah blah blah, and I'm sitting there thinking you're an idiot. You're totally missing the will of God because they don't understand that all guidance all guidance comes under the principles of the kingdom of God. And when the principles of the kingdom of God are violated, you can tell me a thousand times over, God's spoken to you, and I know that you're deceived. [01:40:37] (33 seconds)  #DiscernGodsWill

That's why you cannot tolerate in a church people talking about the pastor or the elders, if you had elders or the leaders or whatever, and criticizing them behind their back and speaking about them behind their back in a negative way. The that sort of behavior happens in the world outside the church. But it doesn't happen in the church. It mustn't happen in the church because we live by honor, respect. We esteem one another, and god puts people in order, and we recognize god's order. [01:30:53] (40 seconds)  #RespectLeadership

Maybe in terms of discrimination, you got a boss, and you're all talking behind the boss's back and other people's and you start thinking, who does the boss think he is to tell me what to do? That's a form of discrimination. And, of course, the worst form of discrimination, I'm white. You're black. I'm superior to you. That is shocking. But, actually, it can go the other way. I'm black. You're white, and you should be out of here. It's just as bad. [01:21:19] (36 seconds)  #EndAllDiscrimination

That if each one of us just took a moment and just talk to our heavenly father and just imagine that he's just standing right in front of you right now, and he's saying, what do you wanna say to me, son or daughter? What do you wanna talk to me about? And just take a moment whether you're standing, sitting, lying down, whatever you're comfortable with. But as Warrick keeps playing, just talk to your dad, your father, your heavenly father about whatever issue it is. [00:43:05] (41 seconds)  #TalkToYourFather

You know, before we do anything else today, if you're here and you've never given your life to Jesus Christ, and you'd like to surrender to him, and give him the the controls of your life over to him, let him be your Lord and savior and ask him to forgive you of all sin. I just invite you to step out of your seat or wherever you are, and just come and stand in front of me. [00:52:55] (26 seconds)  #SurrenderToJesus
