Transcript
- 0:01SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to Grace and Glory Adorned.
- 0:04SPEAKER_00: I am Bethany Williams.
- 0:06SPEAKER_00: This is part two of Acceleration for Restoration, the New Creation Spirit Man.
- 0:12SPEAKER_00: We continue out of the matrix of the systems of man and into the reality of Christ in us, the hope of glory.
- 0:19SPEAKER_00: Let's go deeper.
- 0:25SPEAKER_00: For so long, churchanity, which is what I call in your identity, your faith, your hope, and your trust is in the matrix.
- 0:33SPEAKER_00: I call it matrix because I like movies.
- 0:37SPEAKER_00: Um I like the movie The Matrix because the Lord spoke to me a lot through that movie, through that whole series, actually.
- 0:45SPEAKER_00: And so this is the matrix of the religious systems.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: This is how the Lord, you know, speaks to me and patterns of man, right?
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: The matrix of religious systems and patterns of men.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: Many of these institutional systems and patterns, I believe, started out in purity for a mission authored by Christ, who is the head of the church.
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: And there is a place for governmental structure and order.
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: It is biblical and kingdom, but it but it is to serve the mission of advancing the gospel and the kingdom and to serve people, right?
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: So somewhere along a way, the away, along the way, these systems and patterns became a static institutional religious hierarchy, right?
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: And a transactional structure that serve man or that serve the structure and not the mission of the gospel and not the kingdom and not the people anymore.
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: And I don't I don't call these systems and patterns the church because the real church is not man's idea or man's systems, it is the body of Christ, it is the it is the called out ones.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: Because when you actually look at the word church, it's the ecclesia, right?
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: Which means the called out ones, because we are called out of the world to be born into his life and from his glory.
- 2:19SPEAKER_00: It is also the legislative assembly, the gathering of the sons of God to execute and legislate his kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: We are literally the body of Christ.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: Think about that.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: The body of Christ, he's the head, and we're the body.
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: So we literally bring the head, right?
- 2:41SPEAKER_00: Meaning the kingdom of heaven into the earth.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: That's the real church.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: These systems, patterns, strongholds, and the matrix of the institutional religious kingdoms of man mirror the fallen world and has discipled, taught, emulated or reproduced systems and patterns that has entangled us in being more conscious of, more aware of, perceive more of our physical existence, and also for many the spiritual war on our souls.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: You know, we're more aware of our of our uh you know our wounds and our trauma and and our you know our brokenness and just all those things.
- 3:28SPEAKER_00: And we put more faith, trust, and confidence in the natural physical existence, and even putting more faith in knowing the power of the adversary of the adversary of our adversaries and Satan and Satan and his and the cohorts of rebellion and workers of iniquity, wickedness, and corruption from the fallen spirit world, right?
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: So this isn't about the local church or certain church circles or denominations or non-denomination churches or buildings or movements or anything like that.
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: It's not also about people and names, it's you know, it's it's really just the performance that has come out of these systems, these patterns.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: There, it's all about performance, it's it's scripted.
- 4:22SPEAKER_00: We're following there, you know, we're it's all systems, and it's following a system, and it's serving the system, and it's serving the patterns of something fallen, right?
- 4:29SPEAKER_00: And it's not actually serving systems, patterns, right?
- 4:34SPEAKER_00: Um, even strongholds, they're supposed to serve the gospel and the kingdom and people, right?
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: Strongholds are actually supposed to serve truth and not lies, but these are strongholds of lies.
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: So don't add to what I'm not saying.
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: This is also not advising anyone to leave their local church and stop attending, even if the Holy Spirit reveals that your church that you're you know going to um is operating in these, you know, systems or patterns, he there is a way for us to unplug, right?
- 5:18SPEAKER_00: There's a way to unplug and not forsake the gathering of of the saints.
- 5:24SPEAKER_00: It's very clear in scripture that um we are not to forsake the gathering of the saints together because, like I just told you what the actual church is and what it's for and how it should function.
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: So I'm this is more of me or how the Lord uses me to come and just how do I say this?
- 5:57SPEAKER_00: I don't really like the word exposure because it's been taken so far out of context and so used for such destruction.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: I want to say more of maybe reveal or maybe warn of just the performance-based institutional religious hierarchies and transactional structures that serve the system and not the system serving the mission of the gospel, the kingdom of God, and the people anymore.
- 6:27SPEAKER_00: This is what it's more about, right?
- 6:29SPEAKER_00: Um, it's not about it's not about people, it's not about personalities, it's not about a certain church, it's not about not going to church, right?
- 6:38SPEAKER_00: So, like I said, don't twist what I am saying and don't add to what I'm not saying.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: Because I'm not advising anyone to leave their local church and stop attending.
- 6:50SPEAKER_00: I am just I am bringing some things into the life, and it is the Holy Spirit's job, right, to lead you into all truth.
- 7:03SPEAKER_00: And I'm only mentioning systems, patterns, and strongholds of man and the fallen and the fallen world have been have having been mixed in with the church for the specific reason of what the Lord is having me pour out in revelation for the restoration of the new creation spirit man.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: So I'm just I'm making you aware that that this stuff uh exists and but it doesn't, it's not reality, right?
- 7:31SPEAKER_00: These systems, these patterns, these strongholds, these uh religious frameworks and just um performance-based uh religion, the matrix, all that it exists, but it's not reality, and so I am just bringing into the light because for the specific reason of what he is having me pour out in Revelation for the restoration of the new creation spirit man, right?
- 8:02SPEAKER_00: Because these very things have caused us to be more conscious of, aware of, and have perception of our bodies, our thoughts, our intellect, our reasoning, our logic, our emotions, our memories, of what we of what we can see, smell, hear, touch, and feel with our natural senses, and what has happened to us, or what is happening or what is happening to us here in the natural world of time, space, and matter.
- 8:31SPEAKER_00: And we are conscious of, aware of, and having perception of spiritual warfare, right, and demons, and also some of us knowing their names, the fallen spirits, and and the names of the principalities and rebellious powers and breaking rulers or bloodline curses, and the list goes on.
- 8:50SPEAKER_00: And I'm not saying we are to be ignorant of these things.
- 8:54SPEAKER_00: We need awareness and understanding of the natural world in order to be able to bring the renewal of heaven to earth.
- 9:00SPEAKER_00: We need awareness and understanding of the soul-mind to be able to engage in the renewal, restoration, and reforming of it with the truth of the finished work.
- 9:12SPEAKER_00: We need awareness of and discernment when it comes to the fallen spiritual world, too, because we need to be able to test and only hold on to what is of the glory of God, what is grace and truth.
- 9:25SPEAKER_00: I am just saying, because we have developed so much in the knowledge of these areas, we have become experts in these areas, and many are still functioning as infants in the ways of intimate relational engagement, experiential knowledge, experiential knowledge, and fellowship with the most high world of the most high's world, which is his kingdom, and also being a new creation, spirit man who speaks spirit to spirit with the Godhead, who is the Father, the Word, the Son, the Word of the Son, same thing, and the Holy Spirit, through Jesus, the eternal Lamb, the way, right?
- 10:11SPEAKER_00: And by the indwelling Christ.
- 10:15SPEAKER_00: When we need to, when we actually need to be more infants in the lesser things, which are below the kingdom, reign, government, and authority of the most high God, and be experts as in possessing the revelation of the fulfillment and the maturity of our sonship in his ways, his thoughts, his government, governmental patterns, his systems, and overriding power because of our entanglement with his living, abiding, tangible presence, which is the Shekinah glory, which is the king of glory, right?
- 10:50SPEAKER_00: The Shekinah glory is the king of glory, it's the form of the king of glory, and we are the sons of his glory, amen.
- 11:00SPEAKER_00: So this is why I just mentioned a few of these these types of things, these types of fallen systems, because they have they are they fall short of the glory of God, and we were we were set apart, we were created for glory.
- 11:23SPEAKER_00: Glory is a fulfillment, it is a substance, it is a reality that we are invited to live from, and anything that comes against it, anything that is opposing to it, that's the opposite of the glory, the reality of Christ, is not what we were created to be formed by and to live and move and have our being in.
- 11:50SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 11:51SPEAKER_00: And because of this perceived lack of experiential knowledge, I say perceive because I will never agree we actually lack, I believe we are in an illusion of lack, which has caused us to operate in ignorance to the spirit world of the most high, which is his secret place, as it is written in Psalms 91, verse 1.
- 12:16SPEAKER_00: And this illusion of lack has caused us to place so much emphasis on the fallen spiritual world, where rebellious spirits operate as workers of iniquity and wickedness, as well as on the mind, the soul, right, our natural man, and the physical world, that these things have become more real and of greater significance to our senses, our awareness, our understanding, our perception, than the realities of the kingdom of God.
- 12:46SPEAKER_00: As a result, we have allowed what we perceive and experience through our natural senses to frame our understanding of reality when ultimately giving these things the authority to define what is real, which is very interesting because all of these things are vanity, and like I said, vanity is empty and void, right?
- 13:13SPEAKER_00: It is a bottomless pit of nothingness, so it exists, but it's not real, it's not reality.
- 13:22SPEAKER_00: But when we allow this vanity to define what is real, then we literally live, move, and have our being in lies.
- 13:30SPEAKER_00: We're formed in lies, and God is a God of truth, and we are sons of truth.
- 13:37SPEAKER_00: We don't live in lies, amen, because it's vanity, it's empty, there's no life in it.
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: It's not only is it not life, it doesn't give life, and we were we were uh created and we were we were uh born again, born again from the glory, right?
- 13:56SPEAKER_00: Born again to live and move and have our being in life and life more abundantly.
- 14:02SPEAKER_00: Life is our reality, and life abundantly is our reality, amen.
- 14:08SPEAKER_00: This is also reinforced when we are growing up in childhood, developing it in every area of our physical being and learning everything about this natural world, right?
- 14:20SPEAKER_00: This re this is reinforced, this these types of existence that are outside of the glory of God, that are outside of the actual reality of truth, and most specifically those around us stewarding our formation as believers and unbelievers alike, whether it's in the home and environment we are raised in, and also the systems and structures within the church, or really within any system and structure that we grow up in, right?
- 14:52SPEAKER_00: Whether it's the church or maybe you know you were part of some other organized uh religion or organized man-made uh system and structures, or you know, whatever that do not train, disciple, equip, and teach about how to develop, learn, grow, and engage in the maturity we already possessed in our new creation man, which is a spirit man, and learn the spirit world because we are a spirit man, our new creation man is a spirit man.
- 15:26SPEAKER_00: We need to learn the spirit world of the kingdom of God, we need to learn his world because we are born from it now.
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: We are we are born from his world, we are born from his DNA, right?
- 15:39SPEAKER_00: We are born from his seed, we are born from his glory, his life, his love.
- 15:45SPEAKER_00: And so, because this is his world that we are born again from, this is why we are to learn, just like how we've learned the natural world, and we've learned you know the world of of the of the soul and the mind, we need to learn and know more about the actual world that is our actual reality that we are being invited into to live, move, and have our being in.
- 16:14SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 16:15SPEAKER_00: This is why it is written in Matthew 6, 33.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
- 16:26SPEAKER_00: The word seek there means to pursue, desire, worship, and endeavor to obtain.
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: The word seek has a spiritual connecting pattern to the word behold, because we need to pursue as first priority to behold the kingdom of God and his righteousness with such passionate zeal that our motive in doing so is to obtain, which is to possess and embody his living presence, his abiding glory, his grace, his righteousness, his holiness, his life, his faith, his hope, his joy, and then the byproducts will be to obtain, possess, and embody his authority and reign, his power, his strengths, his ways, his thoughts, his systems, his patterns, and also giftings, miracles, signs, and wonders.
- 17:24SPEAKER_00: When Jesus was giving this command, it was in regard to seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness over the kingdoms, ways, righteousness, and the systems and patterns of man, the fallen world, and this natural world.
- 17:41SPEAKER_00: If you follow me or have followed me for any length of time, you have seen me share on the revelation that the Holy Spirit has given to me about the major trap of the knowledge of good and evil.
- 17:56SPEAKER_00: And becoming experts in the knowledge of the fallen spirit world is one of its most poisonous weapons to the heart, mind, and soul of a man or woman.
- 18:08SPEAKER_00: He didn't just reveal it to me.
- 18:11SPEAKER_00: I was tested through a trial that taught me the dangers of the poison of the knowledge of good and evil.
- 18:18SPEAKER_00: And I came out very humbled and more dependent on him because it was by only his grace and mercy that I was more than an overcomer in this experience, amen.
- 18:30SPEAKER_00: So this is why I'm just I'm so passionate and I have such a such a passion and zeal for for the truth because this is not just something, you know, I just like oh I had this revelation, like no, I actually have I actually have an experiential knowledge, I have a a record of a process with the Lord, and and he was faithful where I was not, and he's always faithful where we are not, he will always be faithful where we are not, and he is so much bigger, he is so much bigger than than everything that we we get caught up in, that we get entangled in, that we fear, that that we try to control, like all the things, right?
- 19:14SPEAKER_00: He is so much bigger, so much bigger, he is more or he's bigger than what we could even dare to dream or imagine.
- 19:22SPEAKER_00: So, as someone that also has a grace to be a watchman, in my maturity process, the Lord has taught me to always warn from his perfect love and to see all things through the eyes of his perfect love, which is always his perfect will.
- 19:39SPEAKER_00: I am to see people according to the spirit, not according to the flesh, and only warn about the systems and patterns of man and this fallen world by the word of truth and the sword of the sp and the sword of the spirit.
- 19:52SPEAKER_00: So it's about systems and patterns and strongholds, right?
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: The the matrix of of just the the the hierarchy that comes against the fullness of of the truth, and so it's all about what keeps the truth out, what keeps the light from entering into the into darkness, right?
- 20:16SPEAKER_00: And so I am an arrow in the quiver and the hand of the Lord.
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: This is how he has formed me to function.
- 20:25SPEAKER_00: This is part of my functioning for the his for his glory and his glory alone.
- 20:31SPEAKER_00: He uses me to pierce hearts and minds, not to tear them down into destruction, but to awaken them to the truth.
- 20:39SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 20:40SPEAKER_00: Because of the way the Lord has me carrying people and nations in my heart.
- 20:45SPEAKER_00: I literally carry the burden, the burden of the Lord, of people and nations in my heart.
- 20:52SPEAKER_00: So I will always be willing to warn about the systems and patterns that are a violent violation against the law of love, against the law of love.
- 21:02SPEAKER_00: Because that is God's highest, that's God's highest law, right?
- 21:05SPEAKER_00: The highest law is of God is Jesus the Christ, and he is the law of love, he's the law of life, of the law of life, he is the law of faith, he is the highest law.
- 21:19SPEAKER_00: If he instructs me to do so, I will do so in the light of his perfect love and truth.
- 21:25SPEAKER_00: But is but it is the it is the Holy Spirit who is the spirit of truth's job to lead us all to lead all of us into all truth, right?
- 21:37SPEAKER_00: So I will do what he says to do, and I will do it in obedience, and I will do it with joy in my heart, and I will do it with with the his perfect love and truth.
- 21:49SPEAKER_00: But it's the Holy Spirit, the spirit of truth, job, not my job, but not your job, right?
- 21:55SPEAKER_00: To lead uh all of us into all truth and to preserve it.
- 22:00SPEAKER_00: Protect us from all our adversaries, and like I said, not mine, not anyone else's, either.
- 22:07SPEAKER_00: Because we must remain humble and live in the truth that it is not about us, it is truly not about us.
- 22:15SPEAKER_00: And if you know me and you've ever followed me, and you've ever heard me, you know, teach or preach, you you will hear this quite often.
- 22:26SPEAKER_00: It is not about us, amen.
- 22:30SPEAKER_00: We are not to be ignorant of the enemy's devices, and we are to test every spirit, however, in doing this, it takes practicing by exercising our spiritual senses.
- 22:43SPEAKER_00: And I have come to notice that there is believers that haven't been trained how to practically or properly practice exercising their spiritual senses, and that has left the testing of spirits to be conal.
- 22:59SPEAKER_00: The whole purpose of Hebrews 5.14, when it says those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
- 23:12SPEAKER_00: This is talking about when you mature in the solid food, which is the meat of the word, and like I said already, the meat is the word of righteousness, it's the word of grace.
- 23:27SPEAKER_00: This causes you to exercise your spiritual senses in having experiential knowledge of the different feelings, impressions, unctions, stirrings, or if you call it convictions of the inward guiding system, which is the Holy Spirit in the urim and themin.
- 23:48SPEAKER_00: In the urim and the demon, that's how you say it.
- 23:52SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's an old, it's an old testament, it's it's in the old testament.
- 23:57SPEAKER_00: You'll know the urim and theorem because um it was a part of the of the breastplate of the priest, and I'm not gonna go into that right now, but basically the urim and theemin is light and truth, it's light and truth.
- 24:11SPEAKER_00: All of the feelings, impressions, functions, stirrings are different.
- 24:18SPEAKER_00: Some are negative, which is the feeling for you know evil, right?
- 24:22SPEAKER_00: And some are positive, which is the feeling for good.
- 24:27SPEAKER_00: And I also want to just insert this because I feel the Holy Spirit impressing it upon me.
- 24:32SPEAKER_00: We need to understand what evil is in the sight of God, because true evil in the sight of God is when we forsake him as all in all.
- 24:45SPEAKER_00: Like literally, that's that's what's evil to him is forsaking him as all in all.
- 24:50SPEAKER_00: From pursuing him, from seeking him, from going to him with all things and and and receiving from from him all things.
- 24:59SPEAKER_00: That is what's evil, and and then what else is evil is when we turn to our own ways, which is what we do, when we forsake him as all in all.
- 25:10SPEAKER_00: So we need to understand.
- 25:12SPEAKER_00: So when this negative feeling of of the you know, discerning both good and evil, right?
- 25:17SPEAKER_00: The evil part is really the Holy Spirit keeping you from wandering away from seeking and pursuing and going to the Father, to the Lord Jesus the Christ as all in all.
- 25:39SPEAKER_00: So He's He's keeping you from what you know going into the going past the boundaries, right?
- 25:48SPEAKER_00: So it's like what I call a disciplined freedom, right?
- 25:52SPEAKER_00: It's a disciplined freedom.
- 25:53SPEAKER_00: The the inward guiding system, the Holy Spirit helps us be disciplined in our in our freedom and to keep us away from the evil that God says is evil, which is forsaking Him as all in all.
- 26:10SPEAKER_00: And then obviously the positives are for the good, right?
- 26:13SPEAKER_00: Which is confirming that we're on the right path, that we're you know, this is this is for this is what adds to life, and and just all those things, right?
- 26:23SPEAKER_00: So personally, my spiritual senses only became more accurate with precision that I could trust was like it was only when I allowed the Lord to lead me deeper in the word of grace and righteousness.
- 26:38SPEAKER_00: That is when the accuracy and the precision that I could actually trust in my senses through the inward guiding system of the Holy Spirit of light and truth, right, just uh got fortified and was more accurate and with more and was more precise, right?
- 27:00SPEAKER_00: And he taught me the just even the the slightest little the little inclinations and everything, right?
- 27:08SPEAKER_00: I am so sensitive now, and I'm becoming even more sensitive, it feels like daily, as I understand more and more of these different feelings, these different impressions, these different unctions and stirrings and and you know convictions, right?
- 27:29SPEAKER_00: So it was when I allowed the Lord to lead me deeper in the word of grace and righteousness.
- 27:34SPEAKER_00: That's when this started happening.
- 27:36SPEAKER_00: And as I go deeper and deeper into the word of grace and righteousness, the the more accurate and the more sensitive and the more of a precision I have in knowing without a shadow of a doubt what each uh you know each impression or emotion or stirring or feeling is and what it's for, so that I can I can obey it it causes me to obey quickly, amen.
- 28:09SPEAKER_00: And um, it was also as well as when I started going into the deeper truth of the person, the priesthood, and the pattern of Christ and new creation realities, which I am still currently on that, and I will always be on this journey of going deeper and deeper and going you know wider and and higher and in into the truth, right?
- 28:35SPEAKER_00: The truth of the word of grace and righteousness, into the truth of the person, the priesthood, and the pattern of Christ, and new creation realities.
- 28:43SPEAKER_00: So, with that said, our understanding of the knowledge of fallen spirits, fallen kingdom, the fallen kingdom, and the fallen world needs to be more on the simple side.
- 28:54SPEAKER_00: We're not to be ignorant of uh of it, right?
- 28:56SPEAKER_00: But it is to be more on the simple side, in contrast, I guess, as you will, or uh per se, right?
- 29:05SPEAKER_00: On it, as in contrast, it needs to be more simple on the simple side than us putting trust in the Holy Spirit to empower the accuracy of our wise discernment, allowing him to teach us how to practice exercising our spiritual senses to properly test the spirits and abstain from what is evil, which abstaining from what is evil is done only by holding fast to what is the holiness, righteousness, love, life, and glory of God, amen.
- 29:38SPEAKER_00: And his finished work, his spirit, and all spirits who serve and are in allegiance to him, right?
- 29:45SPEAKER_00: He's the Lord of hosts, which means he's the Lord of spirits that are not fallen, angels and other sort of spirit beings, and he created there's I'm not gonna get into it right now, but there's so much more than we could ever dream or imagine that is a part of his creation and a part of spirits that serve him, right?
- 30:11SPEAKER_00: It's it's vast, it's wide, it's deep, it's high, it it it is beyond, it is beyond like I said, anything you could we could dare to dream or imagine.
- 30:24SPEAKER_00: No eye is seen, no ear is heard, nor has entered into the heart of man the things that God has for us in his world.
- 30:34SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 30:35SPEAKER_00: So because Jesus Christ is the pattern son, He is the fulfillment, He is the fulfillment of our Sonship and our new creation, man.
- 30:44SPEAKER_00: And he was teaching us in Matthew 6 33, where it says, Seek first the kingdom, God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
- 30:54SPEAKER_00: He was teaching us that the world of the Father, the Most High, that we cannot see, perceive, discern, and understand with our natural senses, and natural man is not less real because it's actually is the greatest reality and substance than what we can sense, perceive, discern, and understand, and our natural and carnal man, which is our soul and mind, that is not been glorified, right?
- 31:26SPEAKER_00: Or it has not come into the renewal of the truth of its glorified state, which is the mind of Christ.
- 31:34SPEAKER_00: He was showing us the ancient way, and this is why he was always saying the kingdom of heaven or the kingdom of God is at hand, because it was present and within reach, because he was the word made flesh, he was the new and fulfillment form of God's Shekinah glory, which means the abiding, tangible, living, felt presence of the glory of God, which is the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God.
- 32:08SPEAKER_00: His mission on earth was also to usher in a new era of a new creation man and new creation realities, because he was appointed by the grace of God to bring many sons into the same glory, which is the fulfillment form of the Shekana glory of God, carried in human flesh, in human vessels.
- 32:37SPEAKER_00: So amazing.
- 32:41SPEAKER_00: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor has entered into the heart of man these things.
- 32:47SPEAKER_00: There is so much more, guys.
- 32:48SPEAKER_00: There is so much more.
- 32:51SPEAKER_00: We are we are we are invited on the greatest treasure hunt of all time, and I just I oh I just hope you really you're catching this hope that you that you're able to catch this hope, that you you're able to just to catch this invitation, this higher invitation from the Holy Spirit.
- 33:14SPEAKER_00: Because I just I just feel him so strongly and just just really just stirring me so so strongly, and just I can just feel I can I can feel what he wants to do and how excited he is for all of us.
- 33:30SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 33:31SPEAKER_00: So this is the goal, right?
- 33:33SPEAKER_00: Because this is the goal, this is the goal and the prize of the upper call of God in Christ Jesus, being Christ in us, the hope of glory, because it's not us who live, but Christ who lives in us.

- 33:49SPEAKER_00: What a hope.
- 33:51SPEAKER_00: So as I close out this podcast, I want to encourage you all to take time with the Lord.
- 33:58SPEAKER_00: After you get off, just you know, write down these questions and just take time with him and ask him these questions and follow his lead on what to do next.
- 34:07SPEAKER_00: This is you know, you don't have to do this, but I I would encourage you and I would um and I am inviting you to do this so that we you can really just ponder and meditate with the Lord to see what he was releasing today.
- 34:23SPEAKER_00: And just you know, just start engaging, start engaging, don't wait, don't wait until some perfect time, don't wait till tomorrow, don't wait, don't wait to engage, engage right here, right now, because the invitation is right in front of you, it is being handed to you.
- 34:38SPEAKER_00: You are being invited to engage with him today and forevermore.
- 34:43SPEAKER_00: Amen.
- 34:44SPEAKER_00: So uh number one, you can ask him, Lord, what systems, patterns, strongholds, or false perceptions have I allowed to shape my understanding of what is real, causing me to be more conscious of the false identity of my old creation man, the fallen world, my natural man, andor the works of darkness, then I am of your indwelling living presence, your kingdom, and the riches of your glory within me.
- 35:14SPEAKER_00: And then number two, Lord, what areas of my life am I still living in hope deferred?
- 35:21SPEAKER_00: Waiting for something you have already fulfilled in Christ, and what needs to be awakened, renewed, and restored within me so I can begin to possess and embody the fullness of your finished work in the here and now.
- 35:38SPEAKER_00: And then number three, Lord, what I have been waiting for you, what have I been waiting for you to do?
- 35:48SPEAKER_00: So, Lord, what have I been waiting for you to do that you have already accomplished in Christ?
- 35:54SPEAKER_00: What areas of my heart, mind, and soul need to come into agreement into agreement with the truth so that your life and glory can flow through me without hindrance?
- 36:06SPEAKER_00: And I just thought I want to encourage you, just engage with the Lord today, ponder with him, meditate on his word, and I will see you next time.
