Hey, welcome to the City Point Church podcast.
0:04
Thanks for joining us. Every day is an opportunity to
0:07
take hold of, so we hope this message inspires you and builds
0:11
your faith, but it helps you have more of a God perspective
0:14
for your day. Enjoy.
0:18
And I need to realign myself. This prayer is core and at the
0:24
centre of every Jewish belief in the oneness of God.
0:27
This prayers pray resided twice a day and is central to the
0:31
Jewish monotheistic faith. And so I want us to reboot
0:38
ourselves and realign ourselves. In Jeremiah 31 three, the Lord
0:43
says of all of us, I have loved you with an everlasting love.
0:49
Therefore I have drawn you with my loving kindness.
0:54
I brought that Scripture last preach here and it's still for
1:00
you today for me today. It's still active today.
1:04
So here, O church, put your name in there.
1:08
Here, O the Lord God is 1. Here he is.
1:12
Here's Chris. And so, but the Lord has drawn
1:17
you over a long time. Some of you feel here that
1:22
you've been drawn and corded. I can feel it.
1:26
I can feel the original pain. I can feel.
1:29
And if I can feel it, you know that that's the Lord in me.
1:33
Yeah. I can feel the original wounding
1:36
and the original pain and then I can feel all the subsequent
1:40
secondary injuries and I can even feel the pain of your
1:44
hoping and and wanting it to end.
1:47
And God is saying to you today, he wants a response because it's
1:51
going to end. There's going to a closing of a
1:55
chapter, but we need to partner with God.
1:58
Amen. That word drawn means and it's a
2:02
progression. OK, God's brilliant, only he can
2:06
do it. And it's in the word.
2:08
Study the word because it's like he will blow you away and your
2:11
life will change. You will become this vessel that
2:15
is just yeah, anointed. And you're a change agent
2:19
everywhere. Drawn means to.
2:22
He will continue to develop you. He will continue to make you,
2:28
but he will stretch you. So he's like, I love being
2:31
developed. Yeah.
2:32
Pour in, pour in. Just keep going and walking
2:36
because then he's making you. And then you've hit, oh, he's
2:39
stretching me. Oh, he's pulling me.
2:43
Oh, he's extending me. And now he's deferring me on the
2:50
shelf. And now he's delaying me.
2:54
And now he's pouring me out of myself so that he can pour in.
3:01
He pours us from vessel to vessel.
3:04
But I'm letting him. I'm letting him.
3:07
I've got a relationship with the Lord.
3:09
So at times I'm going. This isn't great.
3:13
I'm not really thinking that I can trust you.
3:17
This is even hurting. Oh, Rach.
3:21
Yeah. God bless you, darling.
3:23
And then he sows us, Amen. And then he deploys us.
3:30
And then he can wield us in influence, like in war, like
3:37
authority can't cheat that process, Amen.
3:42
What? Why would we want to?
3:44
Yeah. And so let God do that.
3:48
You know, when John 418 says we, This is so quoted so often.
3:52
But here at our church today, there is No Fear in love,
3:59
because perfect love casts out all fear.
4:03
Our relationship with our God casts out all fear.
4:07
Amen. In Ephesians 6/3/16, God says, I
4:12
pray that He will grant you according to the riches of His
4:17
glory to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your
4:21
inner being that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
4:25
faith that being rooted, say it being being you're on journey.
4:33
You'll get to a place where it's now really working.
4:36
But we always have to keep an eye on it, OK.
4:39
And so you, being rooted and grounded and established in his
4:44
love, may be able to grasp with all the Saints, how wide, how
4:51
long, how high, how deep is the love of Christ, which surpasses
4:57
knowledge that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
5:03
Isn't that your desire? Amen.
5:06
That word grasp. There is also a process.
5:10
Isn't God loving? Didn't he say I have loved you
5:14
with an everlasting love? He doesn't say right, you're
5:17
born again. No, now go and save the nations.
5:20
We need to grow and He gives us time, but we need to respond to
5:25
every step. Grass means initially to
5:30
perceive. I perceive that my God loves me
5:34
and that I am His, that my beloved is mine and I am His.
5:39
And I receive that. I perceive it.
5:43
I receive it and now lay hold of it, and now I seize it.
5:49
Because you're becoming powerful and an influencer and the
5:54
devil's like, the devil's like, I don't like you.
5:56
And so you might be getting pushed back.
5:58
It's OK. You are rooted and grounded and
6:01
established and you will not be shaken.
6:03
Amen. You know how high and wide and
6:06
deep is the love of God? For you the love of God means
6:09
protection and safety, provision and and and comfort and
6:13
everything that you need so to perceive, receive, lay hold of,
6:19
seize and capture by force and possess it, possess it, stand on
6:26
it, on the rock in Jesus name. Remember I bought this scripture
6:30
Zechariah 912 calling God, calling to us still.
6:35
Please return to your stronghold, you prisoner of
6:38
hope. This very day I am declaring
6:41
that I will restore double to you.
6:44
Another version says come back to your place of safety all you
6:48
prisoners who still have hope and trust in the Lord.
6:52
For I promise this very day that I will repay you 2 blessings for
6:56
each of your troubles. This is ABBA Father speaking to
7:01
us. ABBA Father, a good father.
7:05
Jesus called the Father. Come on, good.
7:10
He called him good. When I'm in Israel and I'm
7:14
ministering as you just in the communities and everywhere you
7:17
go, you little hear, you kid, hear little kids go ABBA, ABBA.
7:21
And I go, oh, oh, they're calling their father.
7:25
We say, dad, hey, dad. And they ABBA, ABBA.
7:30
And it's like, oh, it just does something to you.
7:33
Amen. And so this is Paul speaking.
7:37
So in one Corinthians 16-8 to 11, Paul is addressing something
7:43
that is hindering a person's ministry, but hindering their
7:50
life as well. And as Paul speaking and he says
7:55
he's he's talking, he's writing a letter and he's saying, I'm
7:58
going to come to you and I may spend the winter with you and I
8:02
will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost because I perceive, I
8:10
receive and I see a great door of effective ministry and work
8:17
has opened to me. But there are many adversaries,
8:22
many things that are opposing that, many things that are
8:26
trying to stop that. So in that context of there is
8:32
just this incredible thing happening now, but particularly
8:36
in the future, that there is a threat to it.
8:40
There's always a threat to it, but God makes a way, Amen.
8:44
Because he is God Almighty, isn't he?
8:48
And so in that context, he now addresses something in the
8:51
church. It's everywhere in this world.
8:54
It's always been here because it's a part of the fall.
8:58
But we as the church are the ones, we are the part of the
9:01
solution, not a part of the problem.
9:05
So he says when Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to
9:11
fear. Say nothing to fear, nothing to
9:15
fear. When Timothy comes to you, see
9:18
to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you.
9:23
For he is carrying on the work of the ministry of the Lord,
9:27
just as I am. Like Paul would come to a church
9:31
and they go, the apostle Paul's here and there'd be honour and
9:37
respect and and everything. And then when Timothy comes, but
9:42
he's just like Paul, they may treat him a different way.
9:48
Yeah. And so he goes.
9:51
Paul goes on to say no one then should treat Timothy with
9:57
contempt. There's the anointing in this
10:01
place. Don't worry if it gets really
10:04
quiet, we don't need to hype anything up.
10:07
We need to let Lord, the Lord, do whatever he wants to.
10:11
Lord, come and do whatever you want to.
10:16
Amen. Yeah.
10:17
We don't like sometimes we don't like the silence.
10:20
Sometimes we don't like that the anointing comes and the
10:24
anointing is powerful in this place and he, the Holy Spirit
10:27
will settle on you because there are peoples who in this church
10:32
whose life has been affected by contempt in Jesus name, Amen.
10:38
He said no one should treat him with contempt.
10:42
Send him away in peace that he may return to me.
10:48
So there is a blockage. There may be already a blockage
10:52
for Timothy as it's like Timothy's on the bill.
10:55
Oh, I might not come to church. Oh, it's just Timothy.
10:58
But if Paul was on the bill, everyone's, there's no chairs.
11:02
And it's like that's got to stop.
11:05
That's got to stop in every sector of life.
11:09
Amen. I know you're with me.
11:12
Different word, isn't it? The word contempt in that
11:16
context means hold on, OK? It means despised, it means
11:23
rejected. It means disrespected, deemed as
11:27
unworthy and of little value, worthless.
11:31
Let's discard that. Let's discard that person.
11:35
Let's throw them away. Let's snub them, disapprove of
11:39
them, exclude them. Let's disdain them.
11:42
And even let's mock them. Let's talk about them.
11:45
Let's let's, you know, slander them.
11:50
This, this will 'cause something to stop and I will come and give
11:57
this word and then go away. OK, well, thank God until she
12:02
comes back again. But this, this word needs to be
12:05
preached. This word needs to go out.
12:09
This is contempt means to withhold from a person or
12:13
something beyond just Jew. That's in God's word.
12:18
It means to neglect. And in that context, the word
12:21
neglect means to make an orphan, to make that person feel like an
12:27
orphan. It brings division, it draws, it
12:30
destroys unity. It's insulting, humiliating,
12:35
it's mean. It's it's to hate without a
12:37
cause. Who else was hated without a
12:40
cause? Jesus Amen.
12:43
The person's experience of being made in contempt is what Paul's
12:51
addressing. They become fearful.
12:54
Their spirit is broken. Their heart is broken.
12:58
Their mind is in torment. They are distressed.
13:01
They are isolated, lonely, invisible.
13:05
They become independent. They become clingy.
13:10
They become people, pleasers. Oh, come on.
13:13
They become performers, perfectionists.
13:15
They become competitive, comparing.
13:17
Do we want this in our family? Do we?
13:20
No. We want this in our church, our
13:21
workplace. No.
13:23
This is a part of the fall. It's got no place here.
13:27
Got no place in my heart. I got no right to held anything
13:32
or anybody in contempt. All the anointings here, all the
13:37
anointings here, it it, it's an accusational spirit that causes
13:43
division. It causes that person to be
13:45
vulnerable and to be a victim, to loop around in victim.
13:50
It becomes they, they live in obsessive they, they develop
13:54
approval addiction, affirmation addiction and inclusion
13:58
addiction, which is now the world calls FOMO, fear of
14:01
missing out. The world knows this and at
14:06
times we need to hear this in our world.
14:09
There's, we know it in, in the situation of contempt of court,
14:15
right? We've, they still use it, but
14:18
you can't be in contempt of court.
14:22
It refers to the behaviour that disrespects or undermines the
14:26
authority and dignity and integrity of a court process.
14:30
It can involve disobeying court orders or disrupting court
14:35
proceedings or even interfering with the administration of
14:39
justice. It is a big deal.
14:43
There is contempt of law. And now we're sort of going at a
14:46
macro level, coming down to an individual level.
14:49
There can be whole communities that all gather together because
14:54
misery loves company. Same, same like, attracts like.
14:59
And so contempt of law is lawlessness, criminality and
15:04
then a seared conscience. Yeah.
15:07
So we have, we can. And we see that there is
15:10
contempt at work that people just sort of like, treat it as
15:14
lightly. I can turn up late.
15:15
I can flog all this, all the stationary.
15:18
You know, I can leave early, then I can lie about it.
15:21
We have contempt for the government.
15:22
Yeah. It's we're so fickle.
15:25
We, we elect a new, new government.
15:28
We're like, and within two weeks, we're like rotten
15:31
government. And then we have contempt of
15:33
life, we have contempt for our family.
15:37
Sometimes we have contempt for others.
15:40
And we can even have contempt of God that what he says and what
15:45
he asks us to do. We just sort of muck around with
15:49
it and it's God's. Don't worry, this will, this
15:52
will shift. OK, this won't go down, but we
15:56
are going down again into the valley of the shadow of of death
16:02
because it will block it will stop an individual, a family.
16:08
But the most destructive of all that God is addressing is
16:12
contempt of self. We can have that.
16:17
I am nothing, I am worthless. And this is a carry on from the
16:22
ministry that God has called us to do this weekend.
16:25
And so we are saying, Lord, do whatever you want to and it's
16:29
causes an orphan spirit and this spirit whispers or shouts you
16:37
are not enough. It encourages you to strive and
16:43
drives you out into the wilderness to isolate and it
16:48
makes you believe that you don't belong.
16:53
This is a lie in the name of Jesus and we know it.
16:58
This is not your portion. God does not hold you at a
17:04
distance in contempt. He draws US, doesn't he?
17:11
Do not partner with this lie and this stronghold.
17:16
Amen. Whenever God in His Word calls
17:19
it a spirit, it affect. It can be a evil spirit that
17:25
possesses or oppresses, but it affects our breathing because
17:28
the word there is pneuma breath. And when we live in fear and
17:34
when we live in pain and when we live lonely and isolated
17:39
wandering around in the wilderness, we it affects our
17:43
breathing and we're hardly breathing and we're like a
17:48
smoking flax. But today the Lord not, maybe
17:53
not in a shout out mighty way. Don't underestimate that, let
17:59
God be God. I can feel what the Holy Spirit
18:02
is doing here today and I just need that.
18:05
You won't get a preacher here that will hype anything up.
18:08
I'll I'll get out the way. I'll let God do what he wants to
18:13
do Amen. Do not partner with this lie.
18:18
You are a child of God. You are fully known, fully
18:24
loved, and fully accepted. Repeat after me.
18:28
I am fully known, loved and accepted.
18:34
Amen. In according to your faith.
18:38
According to your faith, so be it.
18:41
And according to your coming back today and saying God's
18:46
dealing with this because it's stopping me and it's causing
18:49
problems and God's closing a chapter once and for all today,
18:54
the orphan spirit says there are reasons why God doesn't love me
18:58
and why he does. He doesn't do that.
19:01
He just loves. Amen.
19:03
Because he is love. But God loves you for for no
19:07
reason at all. Oh, come on.
19:10
It's just incredible. The orphan spirit causes you to
19:13
feel insecure and rejected. If you have been feeling
19:17
unworthy, unloved, overlooked, and in need of constant
19:20
validation and affirmation, you are experiencing you are
19:24
struggling with an orphan spirit.
19:27
The orphan spirit will cause you to strive.
19:30
If you have a feeling like you are never good enough.
19:33
It will cause you to pursue perfection, people pleasing,
19:36
striving, and depending on yourself.
19:38
It will cause you to perform posture.
19:41
God was bringing that word in that we posture ourselves before
19:44
God. There's a posturing all this
19:46
that I'm going to unpack very quickly.
19:49
Doesn't work. I'm just going to say it.
19:51
It doesn't work. Yeah.
19:53
And today it's got to be chucked.
19:54
It's the one that we hold in contempt.
19:57
Chuck it in the bin. Chuck it out outside.
20:00
Evicted. Never going to live like this
20:02
again. Never going to waste another
20:04
day. Not another day with this lie of
20:08
the enemy. Amen.
20:12
You will. It will cause you to prove to
20:14
others that you are worthy. Rather than trusting God's
20:17
provision and His protection and His love and grace.
20:19
The orphan spirit causes you to operate in fear and anxiety.
20:24
It will have you in deep fear of abandonment, dread.
20:28
Here it comes, Here it comes, it always does.
20:31
In Jesus name I break that off your life.
20:33
In Jesus name, I break that off your life.
20:35
Let signs and wonders follow the preaching of your word.
20:39
In the name of Jesus. We cry ABBA father.
20:42
We cry ABBA Father in Jesus name.
20:46
Sometimes you have to get the the IT says that that the the
20:49
violent. There's a violence in our that
20:52
we take it by force. Amen.
20:54
We seize it back. We don't go through the process
20:57
and we get to a point where we just say it's enough, enough of
21:01
this. I cannot live like this.
21:03
Life's not a dress rehearsal. This is it.
21:07
I am in, I am in my early 60s and I'm proud.
21:10
I, I'm proud to be this, this age now because I just think,
21:14
Lord, you keep me alive with all my stupid things that I did.
21:18
You kept me alive and now I can just spend my life.
21:21
I'm never going to retire so I'm going to keep well I go to the
21:25
gym now I've got 0 pain in this body, 0 pain zero, 60 whatever
21:31
stiffness. OK God, I was like getting out
21:35
of bed like this and God said the Holy Spirit move your body
21:40
and I and I'm like. And so I'm now at the gym doing
21:44
leg presses and shoulder presses and then I just do my own thing
21:49
and I've got 0 pain and at times it's like, you know, practical,
21:53
emotional and spiritual. Amen.
21:56
I've got a motive because I don't want to go over because
21:59
Pastor Graham sits there like like this.
22:02
Anyway. It will cause you to have deep
22:04
abandonment of failure. You'll overwork.
22:08
You'll over perform to earn approval.
22:11
The orphan spirit will cause you to feel a lack of belonging,
22:15
like you could be in a room like this and you just feel like an
22:17
orphan, that you can't connect, you can't attach some of it.
22:21
It's from your historic family experience and it will have you
22:25
struggling, feeling that you can't even connect with God or
22:29
people in church or even your own family or community, and a
22:33
constant feeling that people don't want you around, even your
22:36
loved ones, even in church. There's rubbish.
22:40
That's a lie but there are reasons why you are in that and
22:44
God knows. Amen.
22:46
God's not putting a Band-Aid on this.
22:48
He's healing it. He's making it new.
22:50
He's setting you free, making you free.
22:52
The orphan spirit makes you feel jealous and you compare
22:57
comparison. If you are envying others
23:00
success and blessing and relationships due to due to a
23:03
lack of a sense of lack and poverty that you always get the
23:09
dregs. But you know what God's word
23:11
says that the last shall be first.
23:13
Amen. The last shall be first and some
23:15
of you need to prophecy that, but not out of an angst, not out
23:19
of heat, not out of brokenness, out of faith and out of
23:23
holiness. Posturing and positioning
23:25
yourself that the last shall be first.
23:28
He he saves the the the best wine to the last in Jesus name.
23:33
The orphan spirit prevents you from trusting God's love and it
23:37
will have you viewing God as distant, harsh, conditional in
23:40
His love rather than a loving ABBA father.
23:43
The orphan spirit prevents you from asking God and other people
23:47
for help, will drive you out in incredible independence.
23:53
I ended up like this and God, just, I, it was survival mode.
23:58
I had to look after myself 'cause there was nobody else to
24:02
depend on and and God didn't have a hard time.
24:05
I had a hard time letting that go because I'd got in touch with
24:09
just that. Oh, I can't stand this feeling.
24:11
I just it's just the pain is unbelievable and and the panic
24:16
like I'm I'll literally die if I don't look after myself and it
24:20
will have you manipulate by using your emotions in any
24:24
setting and therefore it doesn't work because what you're looking
24:27
for love and and inclusion you're driving people away.
24:31
You may as well spray yourself with fly spray.
24:34
I did for years. It will cause you using anger
24:39
and distress and crying to get help instead of just asking for
24:46
help, asking for help. You don't have to ask everybody.
24:50
Go to a trusted person and just say I need a little bit of
24:54
confidential private help. And that person like, you know,
24:58
I do that. My doors always open.
25:00
But, but if you sort of start to be clingy and, and, and text me
25:04
at 2:00 AM, I'm like, I'm your Mama and OK.
25:08
And I, I am your Emma, not your Emma, but I will help you.
25:14
There are so many that will. If you have rooted in the, if
25:19
you are rooted in the fear that you're never good enough,
25:22
causing you to believe that there is a need to prove
25:26
yourself and yourself worth. You have an orphan spirit.
25:29
I'm not saying you're possessed. You just have a, you just have
25:32
a, it's always there. It's always there.
25:36
It's going today. The orphan spirit causes you to
25:39
have a scarcity and poverty mentality.
25:42
It will have you believing that there is never enough to go
25:45
around, not enough positions in the church.
25:48
Not never, never get the invite. Don't buy into the lie of self
25:52
pity. Got run into your ABBA?
25:55
Run into your ABBA with this brokenness as it's rubbing salt
25:58
in your historic wound and let him do that work.
26:02
Let him do a reversal. That's what he's doing today.
26:05
If there's if anyone has something, then it means that
26:08
there is less for you. Not enough love to go around,
26:11
not enough opportunities. OK, not enough money, not enough
26:15
friends. Always afraid that you're going
26:17
to run out and miss out. The orphan causes spirit, causes
26:21
you to use your emotions to manipulate.
26:24
If you call, it will cause you to believe that you.
26:28
If you speak plainly, you'll be rejected.
26:31
Now, that does happen. We've got our eyes wide open.
26:34
All this stuff happens. Paul's addressing it.
26:37
Stop treating Timothy like he's nothing, OK?
26:43
And it will have you using emotions as a way to passively
26:46
or passive aggressively or aggressively communicate to get
26:52
your needs met. What you're doing is driving
26:54
everyone away. You're already alone.
26:57
You already feel like an orphan, and now you're making it worse.
27:02
I can preach this because this has been my journey.
27:06
Amen. And so I'm giving this to you as
27:09
a gift. Amen.
27:11
The orphan spirit is a spiritual stronghold in your mind, in your
27:15
emotions. It's making your body sick, your
27:17
social health. What health?
27:21
OK. And so the enemy wants to keep
27:24
you in a realm of the natural, convincing you that your
27:29
problems are just in the natural and not spiritual.
27:32
He will keep you fighting, blaming, accusing against flesh
27:37
and blood. He'll keep it grounded on the
27:41
ground because he knows there's going nowhere.
27:43
Soon as you lift it up and take it to the heavenlies and
27:47
surrender and open and come back to say ABBA Father, ABBA Father,
27:53
Amen. It starts to change.
27:55
We fight at home with our spouse, children, family, at
27:59
work, boss, everybody changing jobs, changing jobs.
28:02
There's always that person. They'll always be the person.
28:05
At some point, it's got to stop. You're working with the system
28:09
at school, teachers, government and church.
28:13
Amen. They can't be everywhere.
28:15
I know they are. OK.
28:17
I'm not silly. I know this does happen because
28:20
we live in a fallen world. But there when you are carrying
28:24
this, it's all you see. You are fixated on it.
28:27
Amen. And it's torment and it's pain.
28:32
God wants us to believe and grow and pray and progress and do
28:36
spiritual battle and warfare in our authority in Christ.
28:40
So that when contempt does happen to you, when abuse and
28:44
when accusation and when when it does happen to you, you do have
28:49
a support person that you can say, oh, man, this is this is
28:53
really I'm in a real attack at the moment and I just need a
28:57
hug. McKay Like, I'd go to Pastor
29:00
Rachel. I wouldn't go to a guy.
29:02
OK. And so you're just keeping this
29:04
appropriate. And so I'd go Pastor Rachel and
29:06
I'd say just give me a hug because that's a part of our
29:09
life as well. And then, you know, I need just
29:11
some emotional pray for me. And then I get up and I deal
29:16
with it in the Spirit. It may still continue.
29:19
I don't care. It's dealt with and I keep going
29:23
until it submits itself. Everything bows its knee to the
29:28
name of Jesus. God wants us to walk.
29:33
God wants us to walk in a spirit of adoption.
29:37
This church has got a mantle for adoption, even practically OK,
29:42
you're you're adopting all over, even in my family, OK.
29:46
And God can trust this church. This is a message for this
29:49
church. And you've already been
29:50
preaching this out. Maybe not like this, but that's
29:53
OK. So John 1418, God said Jesus
29:57
said I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you
30:03
often in that context means fatherless, but it means
30:07
comfortless, it means bereaved, it means pain, something has
30:14
died. So it's not literally an orphan.
30:17
It can be but or you might be pushed out of your family or
30:22
pushed out of somewhere and it is literal, but it causes death
30:28
and blockage to your dreams, your hope, your vision, your
30:32
abundant life, and your relationship with your father.
30:36
Psalm 655-B says he is a father to the fatherless.
30:41
Ephesians 15 says He predestined us for adoption as sons and
30:48
daughters through Jesus Christ, according to his pleasure of His
30:52
will, just because it gives him pleasure, just because God is
30:57
love. Hebrews 10/19 says so.
31:00
Dear brothers and sisters, we can now boldly enter heaven's
31:05
most holy place because of the blood of Jesus.
31:10
The spirit of adoption. Romans 815 says, For you have
31:15
not received a spirit of slavery and an orphan spirit leading you
31:21
to fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption, sons and
31:26
daughters by which we cry. ABBA Father, ABBA Father, ABBA
31:32
father. There is an anointing on this
31:35
ABBA, ABBA. There is a cry from an orphan
31:41
that's like my dash hound dog at the moment when I leave the
31:44
room, it goes and she's like 14 weeks old because she loves me.
31:50
And she's like, you know, And so there is a cry, there is a
31:55
constant crying and it might not come out your mouth, but it, it
32:00
needs to come out. It needs to be released.
32:03
It needs to be not in sort of any disruptive way here.
32:07
But at some point if God leads you as you get on your face with
32:11
him and that spirit and all the pain from that comes out.
32:15
When Joseph, when Joseph was, things were corrected for him.
32:21
He let out a whale that the whole palace heard.
32:26
The whole palace heard. Just the years of compounded
32:30
living with this thing. Let it go, cry out.
32:34
Let it go and then cry out. ABBA, ABBA, ABBA.
32:41
There's a come on. ABBA, ABBA, say it.
32:45
ABBA, ABBA. I don't care if we don't have
32:48
any music. OK, This is going to happen and
32:51
there's an anointing, there's a miraculous anointing, ABBA ABBA.
32:57
And until you believe it, until it actually sinks in and it's
33:01
now rooted and established and you and God closes the chapter
33:06
and you walk out this place and leave this place today changed
33:10
forever in Jesus name. Come boldly, come with faith,
33:17
come with all your, with everything that you are because
33:21
God is just waiting, but he wants a response.
33:24
He's just waiting. You're already in, but you don't
33:28
believe it. And so now this morning it's
33:30
going to change. The characteristics of the
33:33
spirit of adoption is rest. Instead of striving as I read
33:38
these out, say just breathe in under your breath.
33:41
I have a rest. I have the spirit of adoption.
33:44
I'm a son, I am a daughter. I have rest instead of striving,
33:48
confidence and boldness instead of fear.
33:52
I am brave, I am courageous. I am not timid, I am not
33:57
intimidated. Amen.
33:59
That may be happening to you, but this is a faith step.
34:02
You need to declare it. That word cry ABBA is the action
34:08
of a prophet, not prophesying something to come.
34:11
Prophesying like a prophet declaring, declaring it's
34:16
already happened. So we cry ABBA, ABBA like that.
34:21
Belonging instead of rejection, peace instead of torment.
34:27
Trust instead of independence. Comparison, competition and
34:31
control. Protection instead of being
34:35
unsafe and at risk. Joy instead of pain.
34:40
Obedience instead of sacrifice. Just like telling yourself, you
34:45
know that lies of if I just perform, if I just do all this
34:49
sacrifice, look what I'm doing. Just God says, you know,
34:54
obedience is better than sacrifice.
34:57
Provision and inheritance and blessing.
35:01
Generosity instead of poverty. Balance and boundaries instead
35:05
of living in crisis and chaos and living in risk.
35:11
Identity in Christ instead of feeling like an impostor.
35:15
The world calls that impostor syndrome.
35:21
You are not treated with contempt by God.
35:25
Hear that. You are not treated with
35:28
contempt by God. The prodigal son had an orphan
35:34
spirit all through the Bible. We do, you know, we're, we're,
35:39
we were fallen and therefore we were removed from God.
35:43
And then God's design was that we chose him.
35:47
He always chose us, but we've always had this.
35:51
So the prodigal son went and went off and ruined his life.
35:56
And then he came to his senses. But he is the orphan spirit
36:00
kicking in. I am no longer worthy to be
36:03
called the son. Oh God, fix that quick.
36:06
And he put it in his word so that we could preach it and
36:09
preach it and preach it. Because when he got up and said,
36:14
I am going to do my part in fixing this.
36:17
So when he got up and went to his father, but while he was
36:20
still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with
36:25
compassion. And he ran to his son, and he
36:29
threw his arms around him and kissed him.
36:32
So as you play that song, we can do things a little bit
36:36
differently. I believe we are going to go out
36:39
with a joy, Chris and rage. OK?
36:42
I believe that the the worship team will come back and that we
36:47
will rejoice in this work. OK, Don't, don't be sort of like
36:51
the oh, I don't feel it, I'm not feeling it.
36:52
No, don't, don't do that. God's bigger than that.
36:56
Amen. He's shifting something within
36:58
you. But I want you as you listen to
37:01
this, the words of this song will be on the screen.
37:05
I want you to start saying ABBA, ABBA.
37:11
I am your son. I am your daughter.
37:15
I am your son. Let that cry come out because
37:21
what happens in when we use our faith like Pastor Mel said that
37:25
faith without works doesn't work.
37:28
OK, But as we start to in faith say I believe, I believe you are
37:34
my father. I believe that you accept me.
37:39
Something will shift and you'll get in touch with the cry of the
37:44
orphan spirit, and then you will believe it will be established.
37:49
Are you having trouble with that song?
37:52
Yeah. All right.
37:55
Let's just wait. God wants to do something.
37:58
Will you let him? Yeah.
38:01
We'll do something different. Lord God.
38:48
Hallelujah. Bless you, Lord.
39:05
Holy Spirit. Calm, Holy Spirit.
39:09
Calm. Lord.
39:12
We will let you. Yes.
39:13
Stand up. There's people responding.
39:15
Come on. He's calling you.
39:17
I'm standing. Lie down, stand up.
39:21
This is a this is an operating theatre today.
39:25
Confidence. My adoption song.
39:32
Rebuke it Spirit blood of Jesus. Now he doesn't.
39:47
Hallelujah. I'll sing in confidence.
40:22
I adoption song. You are my family.
40:36
I belong. I belong.
40:40
Hallelujah. Confidence.
40:49
My adoption song. Nothing's going to take it away.
40:58
You don't have to strive. I carry your name.
41:05
Hallelujah, Nothing's going to take.
41:09
Nothing's going to take it away. I carry your name.
41:17
I carry your name. Yes, we are.
41:26
Thank you, Lord. I seize my inheritance.
41:32
I claim I receive it. I seize it.
41:36
I run after it. No one's going to take it.
41:40
Nothing's going to take it. Sing it out in confidence.
42:16
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Thank you, Holy Spirit, powerful
42:22
Holy Spirit. Just stay standing.
42:24
It's just going to play.
