Reclaiming Territory for the Kingdom of God

1) "There's something that the church in general I feel has been praying for for years and that is to get Jesus back in the schools amen I mean it's an open prayer we've heard about it we we see statistics that show such a change in schools when they took the Lord out of it and all that stuff and so we've been praying for an opportunity of what can we do we need to be able to get Jesus back in the schools and we need to have an awesome ministry here called collective kindness if you haven't heard of it melissa land it came from her heart and it's a ministry underneath our church and it's really opened some doors up to the schools in our area."

2) "And so God can take something as insignificant as you might think is dirt or mud on your shoe and do incredible things with it. Amen. And the word tells us in Genesis 1 .1 that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He separated the water and the land. Amen. And he created dirt. Dirt on this earth so that he could grow everything we need. So that we could eat and live. and survive. Amen. I mean, it's a purpose. It's a process. And he tells us that in this next verse on verse 11, then God said, let the earth bring forth grass, the herbs that yield seed and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself on the earth. And it was so." [39:30] (54 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3) "And so you need to be deciding right now if you want to participate in this, if you have the time, if you can give the time to it. But make sure you talk to them before you leave. Give them some information so they can contact you. And all that good stuff. But I want to get into a message. And this message this morning is just to stir your heart on a little bit of what we're talking about right now. And that's taking back territory. Amen. We're going to take back some territory. So what is important to God? What are some things that are important to God? Now, I know that you know you are important to God because we read in the word last week that you are his prized possession, right?" [36:53] (39 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


4) "And when we plant that seed, God will start to mold those things, those other people that start growing. something out of them as well. God will start to shape and mold that. But I want to remind you something that the word says, there's some seed. Now listen to me, there's some seed that you'll scatter out there and it won't even take root. Some of it you'll scatter, it will burn up. And some of it you scatter and it will be choked out. But the truth is, it's not about if you should plant the seed or not. You shouldn't be worried about the condition of the soil. You're called to plant seed. Give the seed and let God do the work of what needs to happen next. Amen."

5) "And that's what we're talking about today. That's what this whole message is about. Is are we willing to go out and take back the territory that the enemy is trying to take from us? And now I want you to understand something, the enemy, all of his cares about is taking territory. He wants to gain ground. He wants to manipulate everything and take it over by lying to it and treating it differently. So it thinks that it's about that thing and not anything else. That's his vision. He's going to take it over and take it back. And that's what we're talking about. is to do that, is to continue to take territory." [45:20] (31 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


6) "But he went to take that territory because of the promise of God. And that that belonged to the Lord already. Amen? Just like these students belong to the Lord. And we have an opportunity to take back territory. And there's two things we need. We need strategy. And we need boldness. Now today, church, we've been presented strategy. We have a way. To go. To go to the schools. And to start speaking into these students' life. So the second part is boldness. Are you bold enough to volunteer? Can you come and just cook pancakes? Can you come and be there on a regular basis to sit in one of those groups. And listen to those students. Ask you those questions that they feel like that they have nobody. They can talk to you about." [49:55] (67 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


7) "And we need to vote because we need to take back our country because it's about Jesus Christ and celebrating who Jesus Christ is. Amen? We need to go after our communities in this area and start planting seed in these areas. I have an event coming up. It just kind of came out of left field on Saturday, November 2nd. Okay, so listen up. If you want to volunteer, I want to give you an opportunity to volunteer. This pet clinic contacted me and said, Hey, we want to do free shots and spay and neuter for pets in the trailer parks right here behind us. And we need a place to set up. Can we set up at your place? I'm like, yeah, absolutely. Come and check it out. They're going to use the storage over there. But I always see that as an opportunity to share Jesus."

8) "And so, if you're not able to serve, make sure you're praying for this invasion of the Holy Spirit into the schools. Amen? And celebrate who he is. These doors have been opened to us. Let's take advantage of it. Let's be a church that's getting into the community and sharing the gospel. Let's be a church that's getting into the community and sharing the gospel. Let's be a church that's getting into the community and sharing Jesus. Pastor B will be up front to share a little bit more about that if you want to get involved. I mean, I just hope he's here until like 1 .30, signing everybody up. I really hope that happens. But Pastor Seth is going to be spearheading this. He's been meeting with him, and they're going to be working together on this." [56:24] (40 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
