Alright so welcome everybody to our weekly time of prayer and I here with Russ and Bob and and we pray for Casey is not able to join us today but so were praying for America and that's really are are are our focal point and so there were two things guys look really put in my heart that that it just really been heavy on me today. One is Isaiah chapter 55 versus 10, 11, it says, for as the rain comes down in the snow from heaven, and do not return their water the earth and make it bring forth blood that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word says the Lord be that goes forth from my mouth. It shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. We know that the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

Its purpose is the redemption of the only being created in the image of God and that is mankind.

It it it reveals the story of his fall, and it reveals the story of his redemption and who came to redeem us.

Jesus Christ and it speaks to the reason why there is separation between us and God, which is sin and you know III got into this in Galatians. Starting in verse 16. Chapter 2 it says knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by the faith.

And this is King James version, Inc. in the in the other versions assess faith in, but this one says, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of law, for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified and and I refer over then to Hebrews 11 six which says but without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. And when I leave the people in India and their salvation prayer. I asked them to take their hands and lay them on their head and as a part of that declaration.

I I speak with them. This I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I live yet not I but Christ lives in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. There is a transformation that takes place when when we stop trying to fix the old man and we let him die on the cross with Christ and you know people get hung up in Romans on well I'm I'm I'm in this you know, in between place and I gotta wait till I go to heaven before I'm really free except that if you read what Paul writes. He says no that's not what's going on here and we have an example of it in Christ himself. When Jesus came out of the tomb, he said to those that were there when they reached for him. No, don't touch me. My body has not yet been transformed or glorified, and many perceive that to mean only hasn't you know ascendant isn't going to heaven yet except there's a problem with that mindset because of the timeline that happens next because the next thing we know is is that he is walking on the road with disciples and then after Reese walking on the road with disciples, then he is in the upper room with disciples go so far as to encourage Thomas to put his hand on him touch me see that I'm real he is not been the heaven, he is not yet ascended that glorification took place as he walked out from the tomb and began to minister again.

That means to us that when we are crucified with Christ.

Is there a process. Yes, there's a process, but the process doesn't require us to die and go to heaven to get there freedom from sin and death belongs to us now and when we say well yeah but I do this or I do that, brothers, sisters, put an end of the blood. Make that statement again.

No, I am crucified with Christ and his faith is justifying me his faith is overcoming that thing whatever it is that I might be struggling with or might have struggled with.

I'm telling you, you will walk in a freedom you have never before imagined possible.

Right here right now.

God doesn't want you to be an unhappy Christian doesn't want you to be a Christian who feels as though I've got no victory and I can't win this fight and I guess I just got trotted slug through this and sloshed through this and and what have you. Until you know I die and then when I get to have yet look heaven is going to be more than you could possibly imagine if all you think that heaven is is your no longer gotta struggle with sin, man, you sold yourself so short on the promise. I can't even begin to tell you heaven is going to blow your mind.

It'll blow your mind. I went there unkempt helping get the truth man it'll blow your mind. Yes, you don't have any of the stuff that we have here trying to interfere with you. That's all gone but there's so much more do it your all live in a way that you've never been alive before and that's incredible but Jesus Christ didn't come and lay down his life and die for us to set us free from sin and death so that we could just struggle with the same stuff for the next 40 years will not.

The plan and and we keep.

We keep thinking that the arrow falls at the foot of the target guys is am I am I making any sense. Yeah, wheat wheat wheat with wheat we keep acting as though well I'm I'm just I gotta wait until's until until what didn't he say it's finished.

Didn't he say that your thought is those his words before he gave up his spirit stop and process this for a minute. Paul says that Christ approached the cross with joy.

Not now.

Let that let that just kind of sit for just a second. In your head, Jesus Christ the son of God, the most powerful being that ever walked the face of the earth told Pilate, you have no authority over me I could bring lesions right now and this would all be over who pronounced at the beginning, the kingdom of heaven is is it that word get the joy get the is is at hand.

He didn't say am going to bring it with me when I come back after I die, and good be addicted to know. He said, is that hand check it for yourself the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Now they were ushering in the kingdom. Would you usher in a kingdom full of people that are sickly. Would you usher it will look in the promises that were kind of the kingdom is that if if everybody is just, how step in and not really free and and and all chained up by another king could conceptualize that we are in's bondage to sin. That's what Scripture tells us bondage to sin in chains. We are chained up to sin and death.

Why would you pronounce that a kingdom is here and then just kind of pick people up with all their chains on them, leaving them chained up leaving them with it without with a chain between them and the other kingdom and and and just set them in yours all miserable. What kind of joy might Christ have been approaching the cross with that. We been missing the joy that says that he has set us free from that when he picks you up, he shakes the chains off of you and sets you in his kingdom and your free were about well you know I'm in the process of urine in any process you listen to me carefully. Please as I talked about Jesus coming out saying don't touch me. My body's not get glorified. So what is that say there's a process when understand that it's his process, working in you not you trying to figure it out and it's you professing and proclaiming with your mouth, wife and death are where Proverbs 1821 in the home, the power of life and death are in the tongue, and those that love it will eat of its fruit will now let's look at what Jesus said about fruit in John chapter 15 he said, I have come that you might have fruit, and that your fruit might remain love that it will be a part-time thing that you kind of brush up against and hope you get some here when Sam brothers and sisters as our nation's dependence on getting this and recognizing the power of the name of Jesus Christ to break off the chains you want to disarm principalities and powers call on the name of Jesus Christ you want you wanted your enemy as much as I despise the NT fizzing the BLM's and their militant thing in and what they do and I and I despise the Communists in the communism and what they do. They're not my enemy, though I don't like them and I speak against their ideology here. What I'm saying.

I speak against their actions.

I call them out for their actions and their activities with the one that I despise truly despise is the one that's behind them. That's pulling their strings that they don't even know is there and the authority that I have to set them free to break our nation free is the name of Jesus Christ and I want to go really quickly back a number going to pray to Isaiah 5511, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth. It shall not return void.

It shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing which I sent it. What did the word. The word wetted the word who is the word Russ sues the word you come on now.

Jesus Christ is the word and the word went forth, and what did the word say from the cross. It's finished.

And what did he introduce when he began his ministry on what came down with him spirit and the kingdom of heaven written. Hence, he said will I don't have the power to repent pastor you know and understand the things that have a hold of me you not understand the challenges that I have brother I do actually I do I do I struggle with sin struggled thought I got it licked struggle with it again thought I got it licked struggle with it again and then I got this and then I got this revelation and then and then what he had said to me when I was lying in that bed and and and I began the process Jesus Christ and I came out of the coma that I was in and I had professed it in the in the dream vision space that I was in and people were getting set free and the light came forward in the darkness receded and now I got it and now I got it and I'm preaching in India. 2 1/2 years.

Over 450 churches planted miracles after miracles after miracles after miracles, the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear prisoners are set free from prison and what do I to them Jesus Christ in the name of Jesus Christ.

Now watch this. When the Mayflower compact was written. What did they say what was that one of the that the top priority. I wanted – and your life is good.

Why did they come to exams the gospel of Jesus Christ Congress our Congress in the late 1700s sent missionaries with Bibles to the West Coast. It was so powerful that the five chiefs of the tribes in Oregon traveled all the way across the country by horseback, and by walking to meet the man on the great White House to hear for him to hear how grateful they were that they had been set free by the missionaries that came so show my word be that goes forth from my mouth. It shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. The word, the name of Jesus Christ of power and where we get our power from.

I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I live, but not I Christ lives in me and the life I now live in the flesh I live by this incredible gift.

The faith of the son of God. That's the truth.

That truth that your power that your authority is not yours. It's Christ in you, it's the faith of the son of God that puts the words in your mouth that you can speak and break open the atmospheres to change your environment. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and the word says that it is your tongue, your words, what you will speak out, that will break all of the plans and the weapons of the enemy.

Read it for yourself. I'm telling you it doesn't say that he's going to do it. It says that he's put it in you so you can do it and Christ. He gets the glory. You get the victory I'm set you free to get I'm sending you three today by telling you that Christ Jesus has set you free American Jesus Christ, his faith, poking in you Jesus Christ. The word sewn into the ground of this nation sewn into look, I'm my family we witness. So my family came over on that Mayflower. That means that the declaration that they all agreed to on that ship pulses in the blood in my veins. Generation upon generation upon generation upon generation. The word goes forth and prospers in everything. It sent out to do and that's why that tried to silence Christianity. That's why they went after Bibles. That's why they went after prayer. They're not stupid. They know they know that if were at praying Bible reading God loving Christ impaired people they change their plans are not. They can't get there. It's why when people used to come to our shores. It didn't matter what their belief system was when they got here when they saw people on fire for God and the pulpits aflame. They were like I want some of that now they look at Christians and go you want me to get some of that why when I want that I wouldn't want 95% of the crap there's someone in church today and it is that Paul called it done. He said everything that I had ever held all the Scripture. I met all the everything all of it.

It was done compared to Christ Jesus Scripture. Yes, you were expounding directly when you talk about how this is important now. Not for no, not someday, when we die. Romans eight and €11 equity and Christ is in you, your body you did because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the work of him who raised Jesus from the dead will and you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also have life to depart, give life to your mortal goblet. Dwell in you. Now, growing up. I'm sure I've heard well-meaning people that will yield up. That's when we die and Barb are mortal you the way to a more professional wanted to like Mark mortal bodies when we are dead we shed our mortal body so if the spirit of God giving life to our mortal bodies that have to be here that have to be that have to be in this world where plaintiff mentioned Romans. I just wanted to say one thing I've talked Romans before and wanted problems with mold there so many juicy nuggets in Romans. But people don't they don't work her way through the book you start with chapter 1 and you work through the end of the book you see that this is a treatise of progression.

Paul handled one argument after another argument. Building on building upon building about 100, getting up that you get the picture.

11 clear that you're describing that we are all alive in Christ here now where we have to stand.

This is where we have to live it already equipped all the stuff that beef is now been pushed down the apartment and now we stand in them, and so many are stuck between Romans five and the end of Romans seven and they have embraced that almost with the idea that that's where I'm going to be.

That's where I'm going to stay. That's where I'm gonna reside until I die and I get to go to heaven and Romans doesn't end at chapter 7 Romans breaks open at chapter 8 and and and if you're wondering about that than I would say that you go over to I believe it's it's Ephesians chapter 3 where he or Galatians chapter 3 where he says, oh foolish Galatians who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ have been evidently set forth crucified among you, this only would I learn of you, received ye the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith are you so foolish, having begun in the spirit that you're now made perfect by the flesh. Have you suffered so many things in vain if it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministers do you the spirit and works miracles among you. Wait a minute what why way you ministering the spirit and there's miracles happening yes and Jesse do it by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. And if you listen to the sermon that I preach this last weekend on my Facebook on my clout on on upon all over you can mom on my website you'll find it if you listen to that sermon.

It's about this kind of faith and it compares Abraham, Moses and Paul and and I've not talked to anyone yet who was said to me or I heard a sermon about that before Abraham, Moses and Paul nobody's heard a sermon comparing Abraham, Moses and Paul that I know of a few guys ever heard a sermon comparing Abraham, Moses and Paul know I have ever won the prepared Abraham and Paul would not Abraham will talk to Moses and Paul goal when the sermon was the teaching that only a few minutes. Why did I ditto yeah I did a whole sermon comparing Moses and Paul about 10, 10, 15 years ago, but God gave me a new view to look at Abraham, Moses and Paul and then a connection between Abraham and Paul got to hear the sermon. It is a little time but you gotta hear the sermon because I really believe that it will it'll help you wrap this and get set free and that's what I have my heart to pray over America today because I believe gentlemen that America needs to be set free. We are we are in bondage to tyrants on all levels from the highest federal levels to medical levels to state levels stated to you in many instances city levels as well were under oppression in our victory is in the name of Jesus Christ, may I pray that I do that yet. Heavenly father God we first and foremost want to come to your presence and give you the glory, the honor and the praise you are worthy were the early of our praise. Not even because of anything that you have done and you've done so much, but because father of who you are.

You are the I am Hashem you are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end you are and you are worthy of our praise so we exalt and praise and glorify your holy name and father. We also thank you for your son Jesus Christ for his death, resurrection and ascension that he seated in your right hand making intercession for us that he shed his blood that by his stripes were healed, that he took on chastisement for us that he was beaten for our iniquities that when he declared it is finished on the cross. It is finished, and we thank you for the gift of the faith of the son of God, your son, father, Jesus Christ residing in us, given to us as a gift when we will profess Jesus Christ as our Lord and seek forgiveness for our sin. And so we begin with that father if there's anything we've done knowingly or unknowingly we come into your presence now and asking father God forgive us washes and cleanse us in the blood of the Lamb apply the blood of Christ to us and wash away our sin, that which was scarlet. Let it be turned white as snow, casting our sin as far as the east is from the West.

Hallelujah.

Father we come to you on your behalf of our families are household our city, our state and our nation. We proclaim that the word of God is in the bloodline of Americans because of all of the preaching that has been done for hundreds of years in this country. Even though we may not have it in our parents perhaps or in our grandparents.

Perhaps.

But somewhere along the line the blood of Christ has touched the bloodline and father. We know that you said your word does not return void, but prospers in everything. It sent out to do so.

We call on the word now in the name of Jesus Christ to set captives free to make the spiritually lame and the physically lame to walk in the name of Jesus Christ to cause those that have not been able to hear to have ears to ears to hear and eyes to see, and that your name Jesus Christ will begin to be proclaimed from the lips of your followers with power and authority as we declare I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I live and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the son of God who loved me and died for me.

Christ in me his faith in me. I now break the bondage is of sin and death. I break every chain of the enemy right now, upon every person hearing this upon every person that will hear this in the name of Jesus Christ. We three agree today that the changes that have bound you are broken in the name of Jesus Christ and that you will make that profession and that you will stand on the authority of the name of Jesus Christ.

We plead for the nation. We plead for our family members that are either unsaved or still bound up not walking in victory speak this revelation into their spirit into their heart that they also will recognize freedom in Christ and take their we asked these things in the only name upon which man might be saved and set free. Jesus Christ, the son of God on then and brothers feel free if you want to add anything, go right ahead and then will close out. I want that I loved what you said earlier about Greg about it put into perspective for me beyond the glorious Christ and the victory is ours.

Thank God.

Thank you for that wonderful mom continue to pray for our country. It seems like news or maybe a revival of sorts going on with the good things are beginning to happen. Mixed in with some bad things but I guess it's all part of the process on the with thank God were able to go through this process with victory on our side in Jesus name, amen Justin I was just thinking give us the clarity, all of us, all of your people to know that if not, the solution is not the Mark. It's not with a red or blue if not with a conservative or liberal, if not with a party is not with a group.

It's not with the tribe.

It is only in your son is not enough to go back 10 years ago. The way things work. The to go to the foundation, who is Christ's.

This country needs to come to you know to a party, not to a leader, not even to a declaration but to you and serve you in spirit and truth is the only solution that we have the only solution that we want for this nation to be one nation under God, nothing else is going to serve up with heavenly father to have her eyes firmly fixed on you firmly fixed on to not get waylaid into into the boots and tribalism in my group says that the new groups of self focus on you and proclaims the truth, but we might be able to discern what is good and right, but always from the perspective of Lord, what do you about the situation. Heavenly father, we thank you we praise your name praise you that we can continue today like this only were brothers and sisters across the world can even do this much. Thank you. In Jesus, and amen amen amen Douglas you folks like you guys you
