  RACHEL LAMB BROWN: WHY DOES THE MODERN DAY BODY OF CHRIST
• 0:37
  LOOK LESS AND LESS LIKE THE BOOK OF ACTS?
• 0:40
  IT'S EASY TO SEE THAT THERE IS A DISCONNECT,
• 0:42
  BUT HOW DO WE GET BACK TO THAT PLACE OF SUPERNATURAL POWER
• 0:46
  AND HOLY SPIRIT CONNECTION?
• 0:48
  WELCOME TO FRIENDS FROM THE TABLE.
• 0:49
  I'M YOUR HOST, RACHEL LAMB BROWN, AND I'M HERE TODAY
• 0:52
  WITH MY CO-HOST, DOROTHY NEWTON.
• 0:55
  DOROTHY NEWTON: HELLO.
• 0:56
  WELCOME TO THE PROGRAM.
• 0:57
  DOROTHY: THANK YOU.
• 0:57
  HONORED TO BE HERE.
• 0:58
  RACHEL: EXCITED TO HAVE YOU HERE.
• 1:00
  AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO WELCOME OUR GUEST, ISAAC PITRE,
• 1:04
  WITH US TODAY TO TALK ABOUT HOW TO TAKE BACK YOUR AUTHORITY.
• 1:08
  ISAAC PITRE: SO HONORED TO BE HERE.
• 1:10
  RACHEL: WELCOME.
• 1:10
  ISAAC: SO HONORED.
• 1:11
  RACHEL: OKAY, SO YOU'VE WRITTEN A BOOK,
• 1:13
  TAKE BACK YOUR AUTHORITY.
• 1:15
  WAS THERE EVER A TIME IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU FELT LIKE
• 1:18
  YOU HAD TO TAKE BACK YOUR AUTHORITY?
• 1:20
  ISAAC: OH, ABSOLUTELY.
• 1:21
  THE BIGGEST THING THAT COMES TO MIND IS THE BIRTH
• 1:24
  OF MY DAUGHTER, WHO WAS BORN TWO MONTHS PREMATURE.
• 1:29
  AND SO MANY COMPLICATIONS.
• 1:33
  THE DOCTOR LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, SHE'S GOT A BLOOD DISEASE.
• 1:36
  THIS COULD BE FATAL.
• 1:38
  SO WE GOT TO AIRLIFT HER TO THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
• 1:42
  AND I WAS CRUSHED.
• 1:44
  I WAS SITTING THERE LIKE, O MY GOD, I PREACHED,
• 1:46
  I'VE SEEN YOU WORK MIRACLES, AND HERE'S MY CHILD,
• 1:49
  AND WHAT AM I GOING TO,
• 1:50
  SO I WAS HAVING A PITY PARTY.
• 1:52
  IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, I HEARD THE WORDS OF GLORIA COPELAND,
• 1:58
  BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE REALLY
• 2:00
  SPIRITUALLY CONNECTED IN MY LIFE.
• 2:03
  AND SHE TALKED ABOUT HOW THE ENEMY STEALS THE WORD,
• 2:06
  AND IT'S THROUGH BEING OFFENDED.
• 2:09
  AND SO IT DAWNED ON ME THAT I WAS LIKE, UPSET AT GOD
• 2:14
  THAT MY CHILD IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION
• 2:17
  AND ALL THIS KIND OF STUFF.
• 2:19
  THE MOMENT I GOT THAT REVELATION,
• 2:22
  THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SAID, STAND UP AND DECLARE,
• 2:25
  THIS IS OVER.
• 2:28
  AND I STOOD UP AND DECLARED, THIS IS OVER, IN JESUS' NAME.
• 2:33
  BY THE TIME WE GET TO ARKANSAS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL,
• 2:35
  THEY AIRLIFT HER THERE.
• 2:37
  BY THE TIME WE GET THERE, TWO DAYS LATER, WE WALK IN
• 2:40
  AND THEY SAID, WE DON'T KNOW WHY THEY SENT THIS CHILD DOWN HERE,
• 2:45
  BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THIS CHILD IS SMALL
• 2:48
  FROM BEING PREMATURE, SHE'S ABOUT 2 POUNDS AND SOME.
• 2:51
  SHE IS PERFECTLY HEALTHY.
• 2:52
  RACHEL: PRAISE GOD.
• 2:53
  ISAAC: THERE IS NO BLOOD DISEASE.
• 2:55
  THERE IS NO INFECTION IN HER.
• 2:56
  SHE IS PERFECT.
• 2:57
  SO ONCE SHE GAINS WEIGHT, YOU CAN TAKE HER HOME.
• 3:00
  RACHEL: THAT'S SO COOL.
• 3:01
  ISAAC: AND SO IT'S JUST A SUPERNATURAL POWER OF GOD.
• 3:05
  BUT I ALMOST MISSED IT,
• 3:07
  BEING OFFENDED AT GOD.
• 3:11
  AND SO IT TAUGHT ME THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK SPIRITUAL THINGS
• 3:18
  OUT OF A PURE HEART.
• 3:21
  AS THEY WON'T WORK FOR YOU.
• 3:23
  AND SO THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I FOUND OUT THAT, MAN,
• 3:26
  THE AUTHORITY OF GOD, THE POWER OF GOD,
• 3:29
  I HAD TO STAND UP AND MAKE THAT DECREE.
• 3:33
  AND IT CHANGED THE SITUATION.
• 3:35
  AND NOW SHE'S 26 AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM.
• 3:37
  RACHEL: THAT'S SO INCREDIBLE.
• 3:38
  AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE WHEN YOU HEAR, DOROTHY,
• 3:40
  WHEN I HEAR HIM TELL THAT STORY, IT SEEMS SO SIMPLE.
• 3:44
  LIKE IT WAS LITERALLY CHANGING THE MINDSET.
• 3:46
  IT WAS FLIPPING THE SCRIPT.
• 3:48
  IT WAS SAYING, WAIT A SECOND, DEVIL,
• 3:50
  YOU DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY OVER MY SITUATION.
• 3:52
  ISAAC: RIGHT.
• 3:53
  RACHEL: IF IT REALLY IS THAT EASY, WHY ARE SO MANY CHRISTIANS
• 3:56
  WALKING AROUND WITHOUT AUTHORITY?
• 3:59
  ISAAC: BECAUSE THE CONCEPT IS EASY,
• 4:02
  BUT THE APPLICATION IS NOT.
• 4:04
  YOU HAVE TO REALLY RENEW YOUR MIND.
• 4:09
  I MEAN, REALLY RENEW YOUR MIND.
• 4:10
  THE BIBLE SAYS GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR,
• 4:13
  BUT OF POWER, LOVE, AND A SOUND MIND.
• 4:16
  SO WHENEVER I'M IN FEAR, I CAN'T BE IN POWER.
• 4:23
  IT'S A DISEMPOWERING OF WHO I AM.
• 4:25
  AND SO YOU HAVE TO FIGHT YOUR MINDSET.
• 4:28
  AND DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH SPIRITUAL CONTROL YOU HAVE
• 4:33
  TO BE ABLE TO OVERRIDE YOUR EMOTIONS DETERMINES
• 4:36
  WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT VICTORY.
• 4:38
  AND SO THERE ARE CERTAIN MOMENTS,
• 4:40
  LIKE EVEN IN THAT SITUATION,
• 4:43
  THE FIRST FEW HOURS, THE ENEMY HAD MY EMOTIONS
• 4:46
  LIKE, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?
• 4:48
  OH MY GOD.
• 4:49
  OH, SHE'S GOING TO DIE.
• 4:50
  OH MY GOD.
• 4:51
  SHE'S BEING AIRLIFTED.
• 4:52
  YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HEAR HER AIRLIFTED AND ALL THAT.
• 4:54
  BUT THEN ONE REVELATION...
• 4:58
  DOROTHY: JUST LIKE THAT.
• 4:59
  ISAAC: SHIFTED THE WHOLE THING.
• 5:00
  AND JUST LIKE THAT.
• 5:03
  SO I SAY TO PEOPLE,
• 5:05
  ALL YOU NEED IN YOUR SITUATION IS A REVELATION.
• 5:10
  AND ONCE YOU GET A REVELATION, THEN FAITH COMES BY HEARING.
• 5:14
  AND THEN YOU'RE ABLE TO STAND IN BOLDLY
• 5:16
  AND DECLARE IN GOD'S SHIFT SITUATIONS.
• 5:19
  RACHEL: DO YOU THINK TOO MANY CHRISTIANS ARE RULED
• 5:21
  BY THEIR EMOTIONS?
• 5:22
  ISAAC: OH, ABSOLUTELY.
• 5:23
  RACHEL: AND THAT'S CAUSING THEM TO ACTUALLY NOT WALK IN
• 5:26
  THE AUTHORITY THAT GOD HAS GIVEN THEM
• 5:28
  THROUGH THE POWER OF THE CROSS?
• 5:30
  ISAAC: 100%.
• 5:31
  AND THAT'S A REAL BATTLE.
• 5:33
  I MEAN, IF WE CAN BE REAL, THAT'S A REAL BATTLE
• 5:38
  BECAUSE YOU HAVE THINGS COMING AT YOU.
• 5:40
  YOU HAVE THINGS THAT ARE SAID, YOU HAVE WHAT YOU KNOW,
• 5:44
  YOU HAVE ALL TYPES OF THINGS TO FEED YOUR FEARS.
• 5:49
  AND THEN YOU HAVE THE WORD OF GOD.
• 5:51
  AND IT'S LIKE ISAIAH, WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE?
• 5:54
  AND THEN INSIDE, YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND THAT
• 5:57
  YOUR EMOTIONS ARE REAL, BUT THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS TRUE.
• 6:05
  DOROTHY: OH, THAT'S GOOD.
• 6:06
  ISAAC: JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL IT, IT MAKES IT REAL,
• 6:09
  BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE IT TRUE.
• 6:11
  YOU CAN BE FEELING DEFEAT, FEELING FEAR,
• 6:15
  FEELING DEPRESSION, FEELING ANXIETY.
• 6:18
  BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT'S TRUE.
• 6:20
  YOUR FEELINGS WILL LIE TO YOU.
• 6:21
  BUT THE TRUTH IS, YOU'RE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR.
• 6:25
  DOROTHY: AND HOW DO YOU DECIPHER THE TWO?
• 6:28
  I MEAN, BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID, IT CAN SEEM TRUE
• 6:31
  AND IT FEELS TRUE.
• 6:33
  AND I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE, THAT'S WHAT THEY STRUGGLE WITH,
• 6:37
  IS STAYING IN THIS PLACE OF EMOTION TOO LONG
• 6:42
  PERHAPS RATHER THAN ALLOWING GOD'S WORD TO SPEAK THAT TRUTH.
• 6:47
  BUT HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF IT?
• 6:48
  ISAAC: IT'S THE BATTLE BETWEEN YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR SOUL.
• 6:51
  WE'RE MADE SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY.
• 6:54
  AND SO OUR SPIRIT IS WHERE THE JOY, THE LOVE, THE PEACE IS.
• 7:00
  BUT IN OUR MINDS, WHAT THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE,
• 7:03
  THE EXPERIENCES WE HAVE, THE ISSUE THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.
• 7:07
  IT'S SCREAMING.
• 7:08
  SO IT'S THE BATTLE BETWEEN FACTS AND TRUTH, FEAR AND FAITH.
• 7:14
  DOROTHY: THAT'S GOOD.
• 7:15
  ISAAC: AND WHAT IT IS IS, IT DIVIDES YOU INTERNALLY.
• 7:20
  NO MATTER HOW DARK IT GETS, IF YOU'RE A CHILD OF GOD,
• 7:23
  THERE'S ALWAYS SOME WAY DOWN ON THE INSIDE OF
• 7:27
  THERE TELLING YOU IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
• 7:29
  GET YOUR HEAD UP, DA DA DA.
• 7:31
  IT'S JUST THAT VOICE DOESN'T SCREAM.
• 7:34
  IT'S A STILL, SMALL VOICE.
• 7:36
  WHEREAS,
• 7:37
  I MEAN, YOUR EMOTIONS SCREAM.
• 7:39
  THE ENEMY SCREAMS.
• 7:41
  AND SO YOU HAVE TO SOMETIMES GO THROUGH
• 7:44
  A SEASON OF FASTING TO GET THAT UNDER CONTROL.
• 7:49
  SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH A SEASON OF WORSHIP,
• 7:52
  A SEASON OF PRAYER. SOMEWHERE
• 7:54
  YOU GOT TO GET THE GOVERNANCE OVER YOUR EMOTIONS.
• 7:58
  BECAUSE IF YOU'RE LED BY YOUR EMOTIONS,
• 7:59
  THE BIBLE SAYS IT WILL LITERALLY LEAD YOU AGAINST
• 8:04
  THE DESIRES OF THE SPIRIT.
• 8:05
  DOROTHY: THAT'S GOOD.
• 8:06
  ISAAC: SO IT'S A BATTLE.
• 8:07
  IT'S A BATTLE ALL OF US HAVE.
• 8:09
  I MEAN, SOMEONE CAN JUST COME UP TO YOU AND SAY SOMETHING,
• 8:12
  AND YOU WANT TO SAY, BUT THEN YOUR SPIRIT WILL SAY,
• 8:15
  LOVE, JOY, PEACE IS IN YOU.
• 8:17
  COME ON, ENCOURAGE THEM.
• 8:18
  BLESS THEM.
• 8:20
  BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU.
• 8:21
  PRAY FOR THOSE THAT MISUSE YOU.
• 8:22
  AND SO YOU HAVE TO LITERALLY SHIFT BY A DECISION
• 8:26
  INTO THAT STATE.
• 8:28
  RACHEL: I ALWAYS SAY IT'S EASIER TO ACT YOUR WAY INTO A FEELING
• 8:32
  THAN IT IS TO FEEL YOUR WAY INTO AN ACTION,
• 8:36
  BECAUSE YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO FEEL LIKE IT.
• 8:37
  ISAAC: THAT'S GOOD.
• 8:39
  RACHEL: WHEN YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES AND YOUR SITUATION
• 8:41
  IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE.
• 8:44
  ISAAC: ABSOLUTELY.
• 8:46
  RACHEL: BUT IF YOU START JUST SAYING IT AND SPEAKING IT
• 8:49
  AND ACTING IT, EVENTUALLY, IT COMES.
• 8:52
  AND IT'S LIKE, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE LIKE SAD, YOU KNOW,
• 8:55
  LIKE YOUR WHOLE WORLD IS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN,
• 8:58
  YOU DON'T FEEL JOY,
• 9:00
  AND YOU JUST START SPEAKING,
• 9:01
  LORD, YOUR JOY IS MY STRENGTH.
• 9:04
  THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH.
• 9:07
  AND I'M GOING TO DELIGHT IN YOU TODAY.
• 9:08
  AND TODAY'S GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY.
• 9:10
  AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE GOOD FOR ME AND MY FUTURE.
• 9:12
  BUT IT REALLY IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
• 9:14
  IT'S THE DAILY RENEWING OF YOUR MIND.
• 9:18
  DOROTHY: AND DECLARATION. ISAAC: AND SOMETIMES THE HOURLY,
• 9:20
  THE MINUTE.
• 9:21
  RACHEL: THE HOURLY.
• 9:22
  ISAAC: RENEWING. BECAUSE YOUR FEELINGS FOLLOW YOUR THINKING,
• 9:29
  THAT WHETHER UNKNOWINGLY OR KNOWINGLY,
• 9:31
  YOU'RE FEELING LIKE YOU'RE THINKING.
• 9:35
  SO THOUGHTS PRODUCE EMOTIONS.
• 9:37
  IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE EMOTION, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE THOUGHT.
• 9:40
  YOU HAVE TO LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU THAT WAS IN CHRIST.
• 9:43
  AND YOU HAVE TO THINK ON THESE THINGS.
• 9:46
  DOROTHY: YES.
• 9:47
  ISAAC: AND SO IT IS A DEFINITE DECISIVE DECISION TO DO IT,
• 9:53
  NOT A FEELING, BUT A DECISION.
• 9:56
  AND THEN YOUR FEELINGS WILL BEGIN TO FOLLOW YOUR DECISION.
• 10:00
  DOROTHY: RACHEL JUST MENTIONED A DECLARATION,
• 10:02
  JUST AFFIRMING AND SPEAKING THOSE WORDS OUT LOUD.
• 10:05
  HOW IMPORTANT IS PRAYER IN ALL OF THIS?
• 10:08
  ISAAC: I MEAN, HOW YOU CAN'T EVEN MEASURE IT
• 10:12
  BECAUSE IT IS THE WAY YOU'RE ABLE TO GOVERN YOUR MIND.
• 10:17
  I HEARD A GREAT MAN OF GOD SAY THIS ONE DAY.
• 10:21
  HE SAID, COUNT TO TEN IN YOUR MIND.
• 10:25
  AND SO I STARTED COUNTING ONE, TWO, THREE.
• 10:27
  AND HE SAID, SAY, JESUS.
• 10:28
  I SAID, JESUS.
• 10:30
  HE SAID, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MIND?
• 10:33
  I SAID, I STOPPED COUNTING.
• 10:34
  HE SAID, BECAUSE YOUR MIND HAS TO LISTEN TO YOUR VOICE.
• 10:40
  AND THIS IS WHY PRAYER, PRAISE, DECLARATIONS, DECREES.
• 10:44
  THE HARDEST PART IN GOING THROUGH ISSUES,
• 10:48
  THE HARDEST PART IS GETTING YOUR MOUTH OPEN
• 10:53
  TO DECLARE THE WORD OF THE LORD.
• 10:55
  I MEAN, IT IS LIKE THERE WILL BE A VICE GRIP ON IT.
• 10:59
  IT'S EASY TO SPOUT SOME, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU DON'T
• 11:01
  WANT TO SAY LIKE, OH, THIS IS PITIFUL, THIS IS HORRIBLE,
• 11:04
  I CAN'T, THAT'S EASY.
• 11:06
  BUT TO SAY, I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS.
• 11:09
  AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE.
• 11:11
  BUT WHEN YOU DO, LIKE SHE SAID,
• 11:13
  YOUR VOICE CAPTURES YOUR THOUGHTS
• 11:18
  AND MAKE THEM SUBMIT TO THE WORD OF GOD.
• 11:20
  AND THEN THAT'S WHEN YOUR SPIRIT AND EMOTIONS RESPOND.
• 11:25
  RACHEL: YEAH. YOUR THOUGHTS DETERMINE YOUR BELIEFS,
• 11:27
  YOUR BELIEFS DETERMINE YOUR ACTIONS,
• 11:28
  AND YOUR ACTIONS DETERMINE YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE.
• 11:31
  ISAAC: ABSOLUTELY.
• 11:32
  RACHEL: SO MANY PEOPLE TRY TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE
• 11:36
  BY CHANGING THEIR ACTIONS.
• 11:37
  ISAAC: CAN'T DO IT.
• 11:38
  RACHEL: BUT YOU CAN'T DO IT.
• 11:39
  YOU CAN'T CHANGE FROM THE OUTSIDE IN.
• 11:40
  YOU HAVE TO CHANGE FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
• 11:42
  IT STARTS HERE.
• 11:44
  ISAAC: IT STARTS THERE.
• 11:45
  A MIND SHIFT STARTS EVERY SHIFT.
• 11:46
  RACHEL: SO YOU'VE BEEN PREACHING A SERMON LATELY CALLED IAI.
• 11:51
  ISAAC: OH YEAH.
• 11:52
  RACHEL: TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT AND ITS CONNECTION TO
• 11:55
  THE CHURCH TAKING BACK ITS DOMINION.
• 11:56
  ISAAC: YEAH.
• 11:58
  IAI IS THE ACRONYM FOR IDENTITY, AUTHORITY, AND INHERITANCE.
• 12:02
  THOSE ARE THE THREE THINGS THAT JESUS DIED TO BRING US
• 12:06
  INTO OUR TRUE IDENTITY, BACK INTO OUR AUTHORITY,
• 12:10
  AND OUR INHERITANCE.
• 12:11
  IT'S ACTUALLY THE REDEMPTIVE WORK FROM GENESIS ONE.
• 12:15
  THAT'S WHAT ADAM LOST.
• 12:16
  HE LOST IMAGE, LIKENESS, AND DOMINION.
• 12:19
  THAT'S WHAT JESUS CAME BACK TO RESTORE: IMAGE,
• 12:22
  LIKENESS, DOMINION. AND IN OUR IDENTITY,
• 12:26
  BEING IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD, THAT DEALS WITH
• 12:30
  WHY WE WERE SAVED, WHY WE WERE REDEEMED.
• 12:32
  AND WE HAVE TO NOW WALK IN THAT IDENTITY
• 12:35
  BECAUSE WE ARE NO MORE SINNERS.
• 12:37
  WE ARE NOW SONS.
• 12:39
  THAT'S A RADICAL CHANGE THAT IN ONE MOMENT
• 12:43
  I WENT FROM A SINNER TO A SON OF GOD.
• 12:47
  I WENT FROM AN ORPHAN TO AN HEIR.
• 12:50
  I WENT FROM BEING A SLAVE TO BEING IN THE HOUSE
• 12:54
  WITH A FATHER THAT OWNS EVERYTHING.
• 12:56
  THAT'S A RADICAL TRANSITION IN OUR MINDS.
• 12:59
  AND MOST CHRISTIANS NEVER ARRIVE IN THEIR NEW IDENTITY.
• 13:05
  RACHEL: WHY?
• 13:06
  ISAAC: BECAUSE THE RENEWING OF THE MIND.
• 13:10
  YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THE OLD SYSTEM, THE OLD PROGRAMING.
• 13:13
  BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE SINNERS AND THE THINGS WE DID
• 13:16
  AND THE THINGS, BACK THERE IN THAT SIN LIFE
• 13:20
  IS REGRETS AND TRAUMA.
• 13:23
  RACHEL: DO YOU THINK IT'S SHAME?
• 13:24
  ISAAC: YEAH.
• 13:25
  RACHEL: LIKE I JUST, HOW COULD I EVER BE WORTHY
• 13:28
  OF THAT POSITION?
• 13:30
  ISAAC: YOU NAILED IT.
• 13:31
  YOU NAILED IT.
• 13:32
  AND NOW THAT YOU'RE A CHILD OF GOD, I SAY THIS ALL THE TIME,
• 13:35
  AND WHEN I SAY IT, I TELL THE CONGREGATION,
• 13:37
  YOU HAVE TO LISTEN SLOWLY TO WHAT I'M SAYING.
• 13:43
  IT'S POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO BE BORN AGAIN
• 13:47
  AND STILL BOUND BY A PAST THAT NO LONGER EXISTS.
• 13:55
  DOROTHY: THAT WILL PREACH.
• 13:57
  ISAAC: BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU DID BEFORE YOU GOT SAVED
• 14:01
  IS FORGIVEN AND FORGOTTEN.
• 14:06
  SO WHY DO WE LIVE REMEMBERING WHAT WE DID
• 14:09
  WHEN JESUS SAYS, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT,
• 14:14
  I THREW THAT IN THE SEA OF FORGETFULNESS.
• 14:17
  I WILL REMEMBER YOUR SINS NO MORE.
• 14:19
  WHY ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT THAT?
• 14:20
  THAT'S NOT WHO YOU ARE NOW.
• 14:24
  SO YOU HAVE TO SHIFT INTO YOUR NEW IDENTITY.
• 14:27
  NO MATTER WHAT YOU DID, NO MATTER HOW BAD IT WAS,
• 14:29
  NO MATTER,
• 14:30
  YOU HAVE TO NOW SAY, OH, I'M WORTHY.
• 14:33
  AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO THE APOSTLE PAUL.
• 14:35
  HE WENT FROM SAUL TO PAUL, AND YOU NEVER HEAR HIM
• 14:38
  MENTIONING WHAT HE USED TO DO, WHO HE USED TO BE.
• 14:42
  HE GOES, PAUL, AN APOSTLE OF JESUS.
• 14:45
  HE HAD TO OVERCOME THAT IDENTITY TO SHIFT INTO THE NEW ONE.
• 14:49
  AND THAT'S WHAT CHILDREN OF GOD HAVE TO DO,
• 14:53
  THAT WE ARE NOT WHO WE USED TO BE.
• 14:56
  WE ARE NOW IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD.
• 14:59
  IN THAT IDENTITY COMES LOVE, JOY, PEACE,
• 15:02
  GENTLENESS, MEEKNESS, FAITH, POWER, WISDOM.
• 15:06
  I MEAN, IT'S JUST ALL OF THE, I CALL IT THE GOD GENES.
• 15:12
  AND SO THAT'S IDENTITY.
• 15:14
  AUTHORITY IS, OF COURSE, THE VICTORY JESUS GAVE US
• 15:17
  OVER THE ENEMY.
• 15:18
  AND INHERITANCE IS BEING JOINT HEIRS WITH CHRIST.
• 15:21
  EVERYTHING JESUS DIED FOR US TO HAVE,
• 15:23
  IT'S MINE NOW, AND IT'S MINE FREE.
• 15:27
  RACHEL: AMEN.
• 15:29
  I'VE GOT MORE, I'VE GOT MORE.

  RACHEL: WELL, WELCOME BACK.
• 16:08
  WE'RE HERE WITH OUR SPECIAL GUEST, ISAAC PITRE.
• 16:10
  AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IDENTITY AND TAKING BACK OUR AUTHORITY.
• 16:14
  AND YOU OFTEN SAY THAT SALVATION IS THE DOORWAY,
• 16:18
  NOT THE DESTINATION.
• 16:19
  ISAAC: YEAH.
• 16:20
  RACHEL: WHICH, WHEN YOU HEAR THAT AS A CHRISTIAN,
• 16:22
  YOU'RE LIKE, WAIT, LIKE I THOUGHT YOU'RE ARRIVING.
• 16:25
  SALVATION IS THE ARRIVAL.
• 16:26
  SO WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
• 16:28
  ISAAC: THAT MEANS THAT WHEN I GET SAVED, I NOW FIND OUT
• 16:32
  WHAT I'M SAVED FOR.
• 16:36
  SO IT IS THE JOURNEY FROM DELIVERANCE TO INHERITANCE.
• 16:40
  NOW THAT I'VE COME OUT OF SIN, WHAT HAS HE BROUGHT ME INTO?

  DOROTHY: THE PURPOSE.
• 16:47

• 16:47
  AND SO IT'S LIKE A DOOR.
• 16:49
  YOU DON'T EVER WALK THROUGH A DOOR TO STAND AT THE DOOR.
• 16:52
  YOU WALK THROUGH THE DOOR TO ENTER THE ROOM.
• 16:56
  AND SO SALVATION IS A DOORWAY INTO THE ROOM
• 17:01
  OF GOD'S INHERITANCE.
• 17:03
  AND SO NOW THAT I'M SAVED AND ON MY WAY TO HEAVEN,
• 17:06
  NOW I HAVE TO EXPERIENCE
• 17:08
  WHAT IS IT LIKE TO EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF GOD,
• 17:12
  THE AUTHORITY OF GOD, WISDOM, AND REVELATION,
• 17:15
  THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT?
• 17:16
  WHAT IS IT LIKE TO HAVE AUTHORITY TO SPEAK TO THINGS
• 17:19
  AND WATCH THEM BOW THEIR KNEES?
• 17:20
  IN OTHER WORDS, NOW THAT I'VE BEEN SAVED FROM,
• 17:24
  I GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT I'M SAVED FOR.
• 17:26
  AND SO SALVATION IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
• 17:29
  IT'S LIKE BEING BORN AGAIN.
• 17:30
  YOU'RE A BABY.
• 17:31
  YOU'RE JUST GETTING STARTED.
• 17:32
  NOW YOU'VE GOT TO GO FROM INFANCY TO MATURITY.
• 17:35
  AND IN BETWEEN THAT, THERE'S SO MANY THINGS
• 17:38
  THAT GOD HAS IN STORE FOR US.
• 17:40
  RACHEL: BUT DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE STRUGGLE,
• 17:42
  THOUGH?
• 17:43
  IT'S LIKE THEY'RE SAVED,
• 17:44
  THEY BELIEVE IN JESUS,
• 17:46
  BUT I THINK THAT'S EVERYONE'S GREATEST QUESTION,
• 17:49
  LIKE, WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?
• 17:50
  WHAT'S MY CALLING?
• 17:51
  WHAT HAVE YOU PUT ME ON THIS EARTH TO DO?
• 17:53
  AND I THINK THAT IS WHERE BELIEVERS STRUGGLE.
• 17:57
  DOROTHY: AND THEY GET THEM TWISTED.
• 17:58
  THEY WANT THE PURPOSE BEFORE THE IDENTITY HAPPENS.
• 18:02
  ISAAC: THAT'S GOOD, THAT'S GOOD.
• 18:04
  BOTH OF THOSE QUESTIONS ARE GOOD.
• 18:05
  YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.
• 18:06
  I AGREE, AND THIS IS WHY WE'RE PREACHING THIS,
• 18:10
  BECAUSE YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT PURPOSE.
• 18:14
  WHAT,
• 18:15
  NOW, I'M BORN AGAIN ON MY WAY TO HEAVEN.
• 18:18
  OKAY. BUT NOW WHAT DO I DO UNTIL THEN?
• 18:21
  THE BIBLE SAYS YOU FULFILL THE PURPOSE OF GOD
• 18:24
  IN YOUR GENERATION, WHICH MEANS YOU WERE BORN FOR SOMETHING.
• 18:31
  HE TOLD JEREMIAH, BEFORE I FORMED YOU IN THE BELLY,
• 18:35
  I KNEW YOU.
• 18:36
  DOROTHY: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 18:37
  ISAAC: SO I KNOW WHAT I SENT YOU FOR.
• 18:39
  AND SO THAT'S WHAT,
• 18:41
  NOW THAT I'M SAVED, I GOT TO FIND OUT MY PURPOSE.
• 18:43
  I GOT TO FIND OUT THE ANOINTINGS I CARRY.
• 18:46
  I GOT TO FIND OUT MY GIFTS.
• 18:47
  I GOT TO FIND OUT.
• 18:48
  SO SALVATION IS JUST A DOOR INTO ALL OF THIS.
• 18:52
  AND THAT'S WHAT YOU GOT TO DISCOVER.
• 18:54
  RACHEL: AND HOW DO YOU DO THAT FOR SOMEONE AT HOME
• 18:56
  THAT'S STRUGGLING
• 18:57
  AND THEY'RE LIKE, MAN, I'VE BEEN SAVED.
• 18:59
  BUT I KNOW THAT THERE'S MORE FOR ME.
• 19:00
  I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
• 19:01
  WHAT WOULD YOU
• 19:02
  SAY TO THEM?
• 19:03
  ISAAC: WELL, FIRST OF ALL, YOU GOT TO ASK THE MANUFACTURER,
• 19:05
  BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE WHO MADE THE PRODUCT.
• 19:07
  AND SO GOD KNOWS YOUR PURPOSE.
• 19:09
  SO YOU GOT TO SEEK HIM FOR IT.
• 19:11
  HE SAYS, IF YOU LACK WISDOM, ASK ME,
• 19:13
  I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU'RE BORN FOR.
• 19:15
  NUMBER TWO, YOU'LL FIND OUT YOU'VE ALREADY GOT A PASSION
• 19:18
  FOR IT.
• 19:19
  MOST PEOPLE ARE OVERSPIRITUALIZING IT.
• 19:22
  BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT LOOKS
• 19:25
  SPIRITUAL, NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT A BANKER IS SPIRITUAL.
• 19:29
  A PLUMBER IS SPIRITUAL, AN ARCHITECT IS SPIRITUAL.
• 19:32
  EVERYTHING, EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT COMES FROM ABOVE.
• 19:36
  AND SO MOST IN GENERAL, THEY'RE ALREADY HAVE THE GIFT FOR IT.
• 19:40
  THEY ALREADY HAVE THE PASSION FOR IT.
• 19:42
  IF YOU FOLLOW YOUR GIFTING AND YOUR PASSION,
• 19:45
  YOU WILL RUN RIGHT INTO YOUR PURPOSE.
• 19:48
  AND SO I WOULD JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE
• 19:50
  TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS YOU HAVE A PASSION FOR AND A GIFT FOR.
• 19:56
  AND MOST IN GENERAL, THAT'S WHERE YOUR PURPOSE IS.
• 20:00
  RACHEL: YEAH, I THINK A LOT OF TIMES,
• 20:02
  PEOPLE WRAP THEIR IDENTITY
• 20:05
  IN WHAT THEY DO INSTEAD OF WHOSE THEY ARE.
• 20:09
  ISAAC: THEY CAN'T DO THAT.
• 20:10
  RACHEL: TALK ABOUT THE DOCTRINE OF SONSHIP
• 20:12
  AND WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
• 20:13
  ISAAC: YEAH. IT IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOUR IDENTITY,
• 20:17
  YOUR IDENTITY CAN NEVER BE IN WHAT YOU DO.
• 20:20
  I TALK TO A LOT OF SPORTS PEOPLE, YOU KNOW,
• 20:23
  ATHLETES, AND THEY ARE LOST AFTER FOOTBALL.
• 20:27
  AND I SAID, YOUR IDENTITY CAN'T BE IN FOOTBALL
• 20:30
  BECAUSE FOOTBALL WAS WHAT YOU WERE CALLED TO DO,
• 20:33
  BUT IT'S NOT WHO YOU WERE CALLED TO BE, WHO YOU CALLED TO BE.
• 20:38
  AND THAT STARTS, FIRST OF ALL, WITH BEING IN
• 20:40
  THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD.
• 20:42
  EVERYTHING STARTS FROM THAT SPOT.
• 20:45
  I WAS CALLED TO BE IN HIS IMAGE.
• 20:49
  AND THEN YOU REALIZE THAT FOR SEASONS, YOU SHIFT WHAT YOU DO,
• 20:54
  BUT YOU NEVER SHIFT WHO YOU ARE.
• 20:56
  AND SO BEING A MAN AND WOMAN OF GOD IS THE ULTIMATE CALL.
• 20:59
  THE ULTIMATE CALLING IS TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO
• 21:03
  THE IMAGE OF HIS SON.
• 21:05
  THEREFORE, PREACHING IS WHAT I DO,
• 21:08
  BUT MAN OF GOD IS WHO I AM.
• 21:10
  DOROTHY: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 21:11
  ISAAC: AND I PREACH FROM MY IDENTITY.
• 21:14
  IT DOESN'T DEFINE MY IDENTITY.
• 21:16
  SO THAT LONG AFTER, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SCREAM AND ALL THAT
• 21:20
  NO MORE.
• 21:22
  I CAN STILL REPRESENT AND REFLECT THE IMAGE OF GOD
• 21:25
  AND TEACH OTHER MINISTERS HOW TO DO IT.
• 21:27
  DOROTHY: YES.
• 21:29
  YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER IT LIKE YESTERDAY, YOU KNOW,
• 21:32
  RAISING MY,
• 21:33
  THEY'RE YOUNG MEN NOW,
• 21:35
  BUT THE OLDEST ENDED HIS CAREER WITH CONCUSSIONS.
• 21:39
  YOU MENTIONED FOOTBALL.
• 21:41
  AND, YOU KNOW, IT WAS THE HARDEST THING EVER.
• 21:45
  AND THANK GOD, AS YOU MENTIONED, THAT TRANSITION WAS,
• 21:49
  IT WASN'T AS HARD AS WE EXPECTED IT TO BE,
• 21:52
  BECAUSE HE KNEW WHO HE WAS.
• 21:55
  THAT IDENTITY WAS THERE.
• 21:57
  AND SO SPEAK TO SOMEBODY BECAUSE, I MEAN,
• 21:59
  THIS HAPPENS A LOT WHERE PEOPLE EXPERIENCE THE DISAPPOINTMENT,
• 22:04
  THE FRUSTRATION,
• 22:05
  AND THEN THEY WANT TO GIVE UP, BUT JUST SPEAK TO SOMEBODY
• 22:10
  WATCHING WHO STRUGGLES WITH IT.
• 22:13
  LIKE, WHAT ARE SOME PRACTICAL THINGS THAT THEY CAN DO
• 22:16
  JUST AS DAILY APPLICATION SO THAT WHEN TIMES COME,
• 22:21
  HARD TIMES COME AS WE KNOW THEY WILL,
• 22:24
  THEY CAN BE READY.
• 22:26
  ISAAC: THE FIRST THING AND FOREMOST FOR ME
• 22:29
  IS UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD IS SOVEREIGN.
• 22:32
  IT'S LIKE GPS.
• 22:34
  THE ONLY REASON GPS WORKS IS BECAUSE OF THE POSITION
• 22:38
  OF THE SATELLITE.
• 22:40
  IT IS IN A POSITION WHERE IT CAN OVERSEE,
• 22:43
  AND WE DON'T SEE THE CHANGES COMING,
• 22:46
  BUT NOTHING CATCHES HIM BY SURPRISE.
• 22:48
  AND SO THE FIRST THING IS, UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD
• 22:51
  KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
• 22:53
  DOROTHY: YES.
• 22:53
  ISAAC: WHEN IT HAPPENED.
• 22:55
  WHICH MEANS HE ALREADY HAS A PLAN FOR IT.
• 22:59
  AND SO IT'S THE ABILITY TO SHIFT OUT OF
• 23:01
  WHAT I THOUGHT LIFE WOULD BE INTO
• 23:05
  WHAT HE KNOWS AND HAS DESIGNED IT TO BE.
• 23:10
  AND SO THAT'S THE FIRST THING, IS UNDERSTANDING
• 23:12
  HE'S SOVEREIGN.
• 23:14
  HE SAW IT.
• 23:15
  HE'S GOT A PLAN.
• 23:17
  AND THEN NUMBER TWO, YOU HAVE TO LET IT GO.
• 23:20
  YOU HAVE TO LET,
• 23:22
  PAUL SAID ONE OF THE KEYS TO WALKING OUT THE HIGH CALL OF GOD
• 23:26
  IN PURSUING GOD WAS FORGETTING THOSE THINGS
• 23:28
  WHICH ARE BEHIND AND REACHING.
• 23:32
  FORGETTING AND REACHING IS GOING TO BE YOUR LIFE
• 23:36
  FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
• 23:38
  THERE ARE THINGS YOU HAVE TO FORGET IN ORDER TO
• 23:40
  REACH FOR THINGS WHICH ARE AHEAD, AND START ASKING GOD,
• 23:45
  WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?
• 23:46
  FOR MY STEPS ARE ORDERED.
• 23:48
  I DON'T NEED EVERYTHING.
• 23:49
  JUST GIVE ME THE NEXT STEP.
• 23:53
  RACHEL: THAT'S SO GOOD.
• 23:54
  ISAAC: AND YOU WALK IT OUT STEP BY STEP.
• 23:56
  AND WHAT YOU'LL FIND OUT IS, YOU'LL LOOK BACK
• 23:59
  AND YOU'LL BE LIKE, THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD HAVE SEEN
• 24:02
  ALL OF THIS.
• 24:05
  AND GOD SAID, YEAH,
• 24:06
  THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T SHOW IT TO YOU.
• 24:08
  RACHEL: THANK GOD HE DOESN'T.
• 24:10
  BECAUSE IF HE DID, IT WOULD BE SO OVERWHELMING.
• 24:12
  ISAAC: ABSOLUTELY.
• 24:14
  RACHEL: YOU COULD NEVER IMAGINE HOW YOU COULD EVER ARRIVE AT
• 24:15
  WHERE YOU'RE AT,
• 24:16
  WHERE HE'S TAKING YOU.
• 24:18
  ISAAC: AND IT'S GOING TO BE GREATER
• 24:21
  THAN ANYTHING YOU THOUGHT.
• 24:22
  DOROTHY: YES.
• 24:23
  ISAAC: BECAUSE HE TAKES YOU FROM GLORY TO GLORY.
• 24:25
  DOROTHY: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 24:27
  ISAAC: AND THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO BE ENCOURAGED ABOUT.
• 24:29
  RACHEL: BUT MAN, THAT'S REALLY HARD TO DO.
• 24:31
  LETTING GO OF SO MANY THINGS, OF THE EXPECTATION YOU HAD
• 24:35
  FOR YOUR LIFE.
• 24:37
  THE OFFENSE, THE THING THAT SOMEBODY DID TO YOU,
• 24:40
  THE LIES PEOPLE TOLD ABOUT YOU.
• 24:44
  BUT THOSE THINGS WILL KEEP YOU BOUND.
• 24:46
  ISAAC: AND WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE THERE TO
• 24:48
  KEEP YOU FROM REACHING TO THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE AHEAD.
• 24:53
  I LIKED IT WHEN I PREACHED THIS.
• 24:55
  I USE LIKE ONE PERSON THAT I CAN'T REACH,
• 25:00
  AND THEN ANOTHER PERSON THAT HAS MY HAND HELD.
• 25:04
  UNTIL I LET GO OF THAT HAND,
• 25:07
  I CAN'T REACH IT.
• 25:09
  SO UNTIL YOU LET GO, YOU CAN'T REACH.
• 25:11
  AND THAT'S WHAT THE ENEMY,
• 25:13
  HE WILL DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO TELL YOU IT'S OVER,
• 25:16
  IT'S DONE TO KEEP YOU IN THAT PRESENT MOMENT.
• 25:20
  BUT GOD SAYS, I ALREADY KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU.
• 25:23
  I KNOW YOU CAN'T SEE IT, BUT IF YOU COULD SEE FROM HERE
• 25:26
  HOW I'M GOING TO NAVIGATE THIS OUT,
• 25:28
  YOU'RE GOING TO ARRIVE AT YOUR DESTINATION RIGHT ON TIME.
• 25:33
  AND SO FAITH IS HOW YOU MAKE IT.
• 25:35
  RACHEL: THAT'S SO GOOD. ISAAC: YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE.
• 25:38
  RACHEL: WHY DO YOU THINK IDENTITY IS THE ANSWER
• 25:40
  TO SO MANY CULTURAL THINGS THAT WE SEE HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD
• 25:43
  TODAY?
• 25:44
  ISAAC: WELL, BECAUSE IT'S THE IMAGE THAT YOU HAVE OF YOURSELF
• 25:47
  IS GOING TO PRODUCE YOUR LIFE.
• 25:49
  AND IF SATAN CAN DESTROY THAT, HE CAN DESTROY ANYTHING.
• 25:53
  YOU KNOW, EVEN WITH THESE MOVEMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING,
• 25:58
  YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW, THERE'S THIS HUGE TRANS THING.
• 26:02
  I TELL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, THE ISSUE WITH THAT
• 26:05
  IS NOT JUST THE SEXUALITY, EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THAT'S SIN,
• 26:09
  BUT THE REAL ISSUE IS IDENTITY THEFT.
• 26:12
  THE ENEMY IS OUT TO DESECRATE THE IMAGE OF GOD.
• 26:16
  HE HATES THAT IMAGE.
• 26:18
  AND IT'S TO STEAL THE IDENTITY.
• 26:22
  HE'S DOING THAT IN THIS GENERATION.
• 26:24
  HE'S TRYING TO DO THAT IN NATIONS.
• 26:26
  HE'S COMING AFTER THIS NATION.
• 26:28
  WHY?
• 26:29
  HE'S AFTER THE IDENTITY OF THIS NATION.
• 26:30
  WHY?
• 26:32
  BECAUSE IF HE STRIPS US OF OUR IDENTITY, HE GETS TO DEFINE US.
• 26:36
  AND IF YOU EVER START TAKING THE DEFINITION OF THE ENEMY
• 26:39
  FOR YOUR LIFE, I CAN TELL YOU HOW IT'S GOING TO END:
• 26:42
  KILLING, STEALING, AND DESTRUCTION.
• 26:45
  THAT'S WHAT HE IS.
• 26:46
  HE IS A MASTER OF IDENTITY THEFT.
• 26:49
  RACHEL: YEAH. AND YOU SEE THIS NOT JUST YOU MENTIONED ONE
• 26:53
  IN GENDER, BUT YOU ALSO SEE IT IN SEXUALITY.
• 26:57
  AND YOU ALSO SEE IT IN RACE.
• 26:59
  ISAAC: YEAH, IT'S ALL OF IT.
• 27:01
  RACHEL: PEOPLE IDENTIFYING AS WHO I AM
• 27:03
  INSTEAD OF MAKING THEIR MAIN IDENTITY IN CHRIST.
• 27:07
  ISAAC: 100%, BECAUSE ETHNICITY IS NOT IDENTITY.
• 27:12
  RACHEL: YEAH. DOROTHY: RIGHT.
• 27:14
  ISAAC: I MEAN, ETHNICITY IS GOOD FOR CULTURE, FOR COMMUNITY,
• 27:17
  BUT NOT IDENTITY,
• 27:19
  BECAUSE YOUR IDENTITY IS NOT AN ETHNICITY.
• 27:22
  IT'S A NATURE.
• 27:24
  SO NO MATTER WHAT HOUSE YOU'RE IN,
• 27:29
  THAT'S INSIGNIFICANT.
• 27:31
  WHAT'S LIVING ON THE INSIDE OF IT IS WHAT MATTERS.
• 27:34
  AND I REFUSE TO LIVE IN A CULTURE THAT MAGNIFIES
• 27:38
  ETHNICITY OVER IDENTITY, BECAUSE YOU CAN BE
• 27:42
  OF THE SAME ETHNIC GROUP AND BE ON,
• 27:44
  ALL OF YOU ON YOUR WAY TO HELL.
• 27:47
  SO ETHNICITY DOESN'T MATTER.
• 27:49
  WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS IDENTITY.
• 27:51
  AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT TO JUST DRILL AND DRILL AND DRILL
• 27:55
  TO DEFEAT THESE ENEMIES THAT ARE COMING AGAINST US.
• 27:58
  RACHEL: WHAT IS THE BIGGEST WAY THAT BELIEVERS CAN TAKE BACK
• 28:02
  THEIR AUTHORITY IN CHRIST?
• 28:04
  ISAAC: YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A REVELATION OF IT.
• 28:05
  FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.
• 28:08
  AND YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN
• 28:10
  SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY OVER THE ENEMY,
• 28:13
  WHICH IS EXERCISE IN YOUR DECREES, IN YOUR PRAYERS,
• 28:18
  IN YOUR DECLARATIONS.
• 28:20
  YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR MOUTH OPEN.
• 28:23
  LIKE THE CENTURION TOLD JESUS, SPEAK THE WORD ONLY,
• 28:27
  AND MY SERVANT WILL BE HEALED,
• 28:29
  UNDERSTANDING YOUR WORD HAS POWER.
• 28:32
  RACHEL: AND SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU EMPHASIZE A LOT
• 28:35
  IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
• 28:36
  ISAAC: OH YEAH.
• 28:37
  RACHEL: TALK A LITTLE BIT
• 28:38
  ABOUT THAT.
• 28:39
  ISAAC: WELL, BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE
• 28:41
  ARE NOT CARNAL, BUT MIGHTY IN GOD
• 28:42
  TO THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS,
• 28:44
  CASTING DOWN IMAGINATIONS,
• 28:45
  AND EVERY HIGH THING THAT EXALTS ITSELF
• 28:47
  AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.
• 28:48
  SATAN'S ASSIGNMENT IS TO EXALT KNOWLEDGE
• 28:53
  ABOVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, AND THE WARFARE IS UNDERSTANDING
• 28:58
  THE SCHEMES AND STRATEGIES OF THE ENEMY
• 29:00
  THAT ARE COMING AGAINST US DAILY.
• 29:02
  DOROTHY: YES.
• 29:04
  ISAAC: TO TRY TO ORCHESTRATE OUR DEMISE, TO DESTROY OUR PURPOSE,
• 29:08
  TO DESTROY OUR FAMILIES, COMING AFTER OUR CHILDREN,
• 29:11
  COMING AFTER OUR NATION, COMING AFTER OUR HEALTH,
• 29:13
  COMING AFTER OUR MIND.
• 29:14
  DOROTHY: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 29:15
  ISAAC: IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP TO WAR EVERY DAY IN THAT WORD,
• 29:20
  WAR JUST SIMPLY MEANS ENGAGE THE ENEMY
• 29:23
  IN THE BATTLE OF THOUGHTS AND SCHEMES AND STRATEGIES,
• 29:28
  THEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE OVERCOME.
• 29:30
  AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE EARTH ARE BEING OVERWHELMED
• 29:34
  BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
• 29:38
  AND SO IT IS CRUCIAL TO UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE CONCEPT
• 29:43
  OF WRESTLING AGAINST THE SCHEMES OF THE ENEMY
• 29:46
  THAT ARE COMING AFTER YOU.
• 29:47
  AND YOU HAVE TO FIRST START WITH TAKING CAPTIVE EVERY THOUGHT.
• 29:52
  IT IS AN AWARENESS THING THAT I'M NOT GOING TO
• 29:55
  LET THE ENEMY PLAY WITH MY MIND.
• 29:57
  DOROTHY: YES.
• 29:58
  ISAAC: IT'S AN INSULT TO ALLOW HIM TO PLAY WITH MY MIND.
• 30:02
  AND YOU START THERE AND THEN YOU'LL START RECOGNIZING,
• 30:05
  OH, I SEE THE SCHEME OF THE ENEMY THERE.
• 30:07
  I SEE WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO AGAINST MY CHILD.
• 30:10
  AND YOU START PRAYING AND DECREEING AND PLEADING THE BLOOD
• 30:12
  AS MY BIG MAMA USED TO SAY, SLANG BLOOD EVERYWHERE.
• 30:16
  JUST START
• 30:17
  PLEADING THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
• 30:18
  RACHEL: AMEN.
• 30:19
  ISAAC: STANDING OUR GROUND.
• 30:21
  THAT'S WHAT JESUS GAVE US THE AUTHORITY TO DO.
• 30:24
  RACHEL: AMEN.
• 30:24
  DOROTHY: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 30:26
  RACHEL: I HOPE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED TODAY.
• 30:27
  I LIKE WHAT HE SAID:
• 30:28
  ENGAGE THE ENEMY.
• 30:29
  TAKE BACK YOUR AUTHORITY IN CHRIST.

  I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER, YOU WERE CREATED FOR MORE.
• 30:35
  GOD'S ORIGINAL DESIGN FOR MANKIND WAS TO BEAR HIS IMAGE,
• 30:39
  REFLECT HIS GLORY, AND REPRESENT HIS KINGDOM ON THE EARTH.

  IN CHRIST, YOU CAN WALK IN THE HEAVENLY AUTHORITY
• 30:46
  THAT BELONGS TO YOU AS HIS CHILD.
