Amen I want you to turn to the book of Hebrews Chapter 11. Now Faith is being sure of what we hope
for and certain of what we do not see. This is what all the ancients were commended for. By faith we
understand that the universe was formed at God's command. So that what is seen was not made out
of what was visible. By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was
commended as a righteous man when God spoke well of his offerings and by faith he still speaks even
though he is dead. By faith Enoch was taken from this life so that he did not experience death. He
could not be found because God had taken him away. For before he was taken he was commended
as one who pleased God. And without faith it's impossible to please God. Because anyone who comes
to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. By faith, Noah
when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear he built an Ark to save his family. By his faith he
condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. By faith Abraham
was he was called to go to a place he would later receive as an inheritance, obeyed and went even
though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land, like a
stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents as did Isaac and Jacob who were heirs with him of the
same promise. For he as looking forward to the city with foundations whose architect and builder is
God. By faith Abraham even though he was past age and Sarah herself was barren was enabled to
become a father because he considered Him faithful who had made the promise. And so, from this
one man and he was at the time as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars of the
sky and as countless as the sand by the seashore. And all these people were still living by faith when
they died. They didn't receive the things promised. They only saw them and welcomed them from a
distance and they admitted that they were aliens and strangers upon the earth. People who say such
things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country
they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead they were longing for a better
country, a heavenly one, therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God and he has prepared a
city for them. By faith Abraham when God tested him offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received
the promise was about to sacrifice His one and only son, even though God had said to him it is through
Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned. Abraham reasoned that God would raise the dead and
figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from the dead. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau
in regard to their future. By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons and
worshipped as he leaned on the top of his staff. By faith Jacob when his end was near spoke about the
Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones. By faith Moses' parents hid
for three months after he was born because they saw that he was no ordinary child and they were not
afraid of the King's edict. By faith Moses when he had grown up he refused to be known as the son of
Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the
pleasures of sin for a short time, he regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than
the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead , he was looking ahead for his reward. By faith
he left Egypt, he didn’t fear the Kings anger , he persevered bevause he was seeing Him who is
invisible. By faith he kept the passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the
firstborn could not touch the firstborn of Israel. By faith people passed through the Red sea as on dry
land but when the Egyptians tried to do so they were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell after
the people marched around them for seven entire days. By faith the prostitute Rahab because she
welcomed the spies was not killed with those who were disobedient. And what more shall I say, I
don’t have the time to tell about Gideon, about Barak, Samson, Jephtah, David, Samuel and all the
prophets; who through faith conquered Kingdoms, administered justice, gained what God had
promised them. Shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, escaped the edge of the
sword, whose weakness was turned into strength and who became powerful in battle and routed
foreign armies. Women even received their dead raised to life again and others were tortured and
refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. Some faced jeers and flogging,
while others were chained and put in prison. Some were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were
put to death by the sword. They went about in sheep skins and goat skins. They were destitute,
persecuted, mistreated. The world was not worthy of them these early saints. They wandered in
deserts and mountains, they wandered in caves and in holes of the ground and these were all
commended for their faith; yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned
something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. God had planned
something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.

Let me just start at the end. What the Bible clearly is saying is that the church is the completion of
God's plan. God had planned something better for the church, so that only together with the church
could all that has gone before, all of the saints, all that they went through, Samuel, Gideon, Barak,
Samson, Jephthah, all of God's plan and purpose in the thousands of years that have gone before can
only be complete by the church. We are the completion of God's program, what we do brings God's
total program to maturity and to perfection. If we fail it has all been lost. Amen, that's the church. We
are not just here by chance. Amen, and keep in mind that the church is a body made up of members
in particular. Everything that applies to the church applies to this local body. Every principle that
applies to the general body of Christ has to be worked out and established in our own individual lives.
We are the completion of God's purpose. All of the mysteries that God did; all of the power He
released upon the earth, all of the extent of his wisdom and glorious plan and purpose will not be
complete, will not be made perfect, will not come full fruit until the church does and completes what
it is supposed to do. We are the culmination of God's purpose in the earth. Amen. That's why we walk
the earth like princes. That's why we are sons of God now. With eternal life now, with authority and
power to move heaven, to move the hand of God. That's why we have the power now to speak into
the heavens. That's why when we clap, we release supernatural power in the heavenly realms. That's
why the devil trembles when we get together, when we begin to sing, when we begin to have the
revelation birthed upon us that we are not victims. That we are not coming here, we are not the lost
of the earth, we are not those who have failed in the secular and have turned to Jesus. Jesus is not a
flake and a wimp. He is not a collector of the world's off-scoring and failure. He creates princes and
kings to reign in life by Him. Amen, hallelujah. That's why, when we get together and sing, we expect
God to hear; we expect demons to tremble. We expect the heavens to be opened. Amen. Above your
house, you rule the heavens, every bit of heavens above your home, belongs to you. Your real estate
extends more than your five thousand square feet bounded by your fence. It goes upwards as far as
God's throne. No demon power can cross over your house unless you allow him. Angels descend and
ascend as they did upon Jacob. We own the heavens, Amen. We have been fooled too long by a
backward faith. We own the heavens, it belongs to us, every piece of sky over my house belongs to
me, angels inhabit it, demon powers have to go next door if they want to pass. They want to pass to
my neighbour on the left or my neighbour on the right, they have to go around out the street. They
can't pass over my house. The heavens belong to us, we exercise authority in the heavenly realms. It
sounds strange but it's true. Amen. So let's go back to the start. God had planned something better
for us. Just last night when I was reading through this, these verses just jumped out at me. God planned
something better for us. Have you read the Old Testament, have you seen what Gideon did, did you
see what Samson did, did you see what David did, God planned something better for the church.
There's something out there, there's some plan out there that God has ordained for the end time
church. That's mightier than we can even imagine or comprehend. Amen. I see flickers of it in my spirit,
it's grater then anything ever been preached before. The authority that He wants to give to the church
in the earth to establish His Kingdom and His power, is mightier than anything we have ever
comprehended. There's a mighty church that's rising up. It's more glorious than Acts, It's powerful
beyond belief. We are people that will sit with Christ in his throne and reign over his entire universe.
We will judge the angels. We will execute his vengeance upon the nations. Us the church, Amen. It's
not just waiting to escape to heaven, Our destination is a renewed earth. Amen, this planet belongs
to us, Amen. It's ours, its ours, I wake up in the morning and say, God this planet is mine when I walk
upon it I feel like an heir, when I travel around feel like I possess it. There's something that's speaking
to me in my Spirit, that says it's yours, you have possessed it, you are a joint heir with Christ. Everything
He has belongs to me, I share his possessions equally, Amen. Doesn’t that explode in your spirit.
Doesn’t that do something new to you. Don't your thoughts expand beyond your brain, make you
begin to thrust into the realms that you haven't yet seen. We want to be a Prophetic Church, Amen.
A church that's a pioneer church, pioneer saints, pioneer ministers and pioneer people. Pioneers are
people who make the path they don’t follow others. The Lord said to me last week as I was thinking
about the Prophetic Word that came, saying this is the time of release. For 2 years, we've been having
Prophets prophesy that the Lord is doing this and the Lord is doing that, for the last year we've been
activating part of the prophetic word. Establishing the conferences and the seminars, preaching out
in the churches, beginning to stir the churches around the country. And when God came and gave the
release, I sat at home and said you know, this was never my plan but I am willing to go with your flow.
I also have a word that says you have to be adjustable and flexible. That I am going to change your
tracks. I say well, let me be adjustable and flexible and the Lord said when Joshua was crossing Jordan;
the Lord told him send out the Ark of the Covenant, 2000 cubits ahead of the host. He said let there
be a space between the presence of the Lord and the people. And follow the ark where ever it goes
because you have not gone this way before. They were a pioneering people penetrating into a land
that no Jew had ever been in. They were going into a country, they didn't know what lay around the
corner, God said let the ark go out in front. Listen to the sound of His voice. Look at the presence of
the Lord, be guided by God's purpose and destiny. Leave a space of 2000 cubits and then enter with
power to possess the land that He has given unto us. Amen, so we start off today letting the Ark of
God go out ahead of us, Amen. If you ask me what we will be doing next year I don't know but there
is an Ark ahead of Elijah Centre. There is a light of God that has gone before us. There is a presence of
God that has been released into our future, Amen. We are not blind people. We are not just stumbling
out there in the dark. We are walking with sure steps of power and faith. Hearing his voice, Amen.
Being guided by his presence, by the precious powerful, Holy Ghost. Amen, every enemy must fall as
we put our feet upon God's possession. I don't care if Satan hears, we want him to. Too many
Christians went around saying if I don’t talk it Satan won't hear it. Who cares about Satan, little slimy
spirit. He's our meat. Caleb said they are bread for us, Amen. Their defence has departed from them.
Let us go up and crush the enemy. Let's go up and possess their land. Let's go up and establish
everything that's in the heart of God. Everything that God has conceived and perceived and establish
before the foundation of the earth, that we should accomplish and do. Let's go out and fulfil our
destiny in Him. I love the word destiny it makes us more than Human, Amen. It gives nobility to our
lifestyle, destiny. I love the word, I'm glad I discovered it when I am young and not old. It must be
frustrating to discover destiny at age 80. Thank God we know the word when we are yet young, Amen.
Destiny, Amen.
There is an element of faith that is pressing into the excellence of God. There is an aspect of faith that
is not content with the second rate. It's desiring and seeking God's absolute best. Abel was a man
whose vision reached into the heavens. Cain was a man of the Earth. Cain's vision was concocted of
the stuff that was limited and earth bound. When God called upon him to sacrifice, he grabbed a few
carrots and potatoes, a bunch of "sive", a little cucumber and he went before God and he says here
this is my stuff; and God said where you got that, he said I dug it out of the earth. He said it was around
I just ripped up some carrots, got a couple cucumbers here, nice smelling "sive", he said this is your
sacrifice. Abel's sacrifice was more excellent, more approved than that of Cain who was a man of
earthly vision. Abel gave back to God life, he gave back to God something that was not created or
concocted of the earth. He gave to the Lord a sacrifice that was approved in heaven. Abel, in his act
of faith achieved a vastness of life. That extended beyond the boundaries of the earthly, verse 4 says
Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. God spoke well of his offerings and by faith he still
speaks, even though he is dead. Abel's life so expanded because of his vision of faith , that it extended
beyond the boundaries of the earthly. Even though the man is dead his life still speaks. There's a
speaking that comes forth out if the spirit realm, that was created by Abel's vision of faith. Amen.
What a glorious thing this faith is, we call it prophetic faith. Amen. We are not limited by this life, we
are not limited by this building, we are not limited by our circumstances, we just not limited. Amen
There are no limits to us. There is no end to our life therefore there is no limit to our spirit. Amen. You
are only limited if you die, and we are eternal. God's eternal life dwells in us. Our physical body will
die but our life goes on and on and on, for as long as God is. Our only limit is the lifespan of God himself
and God is eternal. When God dies we die, if God lives, we live. We are joined to him forever. That
makes me feel drunk in spirit, I don’t know if you had the same experience I do; it gets me intoxicated,
amen. I sit in my study late in the night and think about this good stuff; we are boundless. That kind
of faith that Abel has, has eyes and faith sees God in the future; verse 3, by faith we understand that
the Universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what is visible.
What is seen was not made out what is visible. Everything that is in our present reality, everything,
the inner quality and the manifest quality of our life experience in the now is the product of where
the gaze of faith lies in the invisible future. Everything that we are now is the product of where we
see(Genesis, what we are now has been birthed already and we build it out in the future). Everything
that Elijah Centre will be or will become; everything that we will be shaped to become, will depend
entirely not so much upon what we do now, what programs we concoct . Not upon what we plan to
do or what we initiate, but primarily upon where our gaze of faith lies in the future. What we see in
the future. We create things visible out of things that do not appear. We concoct our present reality
out of the stuff of our unseen faith, amen. If we all catch the vision, if we all get re-programmed, if we
all break the power of the world's system in our minds, if we all become as vast as the Holy Ghost,
then there is no limit to what we can accomplish. There is no limit to what God could do, amen. We
focus first not on programs, not on initiatives, not on plans but on Jesus, amen. On the voice of God,
on the vision of God, on the revelation of God. The stuff of your life as you live now, what God shapes
you to be in ministry is not a result of simply sitting in your closet and praying. It is the result of a
vision, it's the result of a revelation. It's the result of a seeing of Jesus. You are what you see. If you
examine the content of the faith and Christian lifestyle of a believer you can see what he sees Jesus
as. Exactly as you see Jesus it will be manifested in your life. If you see Him as a flake, then you will be
weak. If you see Him as a self-righteous little flaky Christ. You will have a sloppy little Christian faith. If
you see Him as a powerful muscular warrior, if you see Him as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. If
you see Him as a majestic ruling Monarch, then your faith will expand and be strong. The words that
proceed from you, your ministry, your outflow will have grandeur nobility and strength, amen. What
you see is what you are, amen. So by faith we understand that what is visible ,what we see, the planets,
the stuff of the earth, the ground the trees, the houses, the buses, your life was created by nothing
that is here. It's energy, it’s source is in a realm beyond. Noah in verse 7 was warned about things that
he hadn't even seen yet. God warned Noah about things that he had not physically seen. He had never
physically seen rain. There was no reference point, in Noah's day to describe a flood. It's like going to
Mars and trying to describe the colour green. Rain never fell in Noah's day. But Noah was warned of
things he hadn't yet seen and He moved in Holy fear to build an Ark, to save his family. He perceived
these situations in his spirit with the gaze of faith. Noah was a man who looked into the future. Noah
was a man who saw God's next move. Noah was a man who lived, years ahead of his time. Who didn't
get his motivation from his present spiritual experience. But who was motivated by what was to come.
And the Bible says, Noah moved in holy fear and I love that. Noah moved in Holy fear. 120 years before
the event Noah began to respond in holy fear. He built an Ark to save his family. Noah began to
construct, piece by piece a meaningful present. I want you to understand in your spirit what was
happening. There was this man, went out in the field and began to cut wood and people asked him
what he was doing he said he was building a boat, a big boat. Piece by piece he began to construct
this boat. He was impelled by a gaze of faith into the future. He began to look with the prophetic eye.
He constructed this boat over a period of 120 years. During the time people asked him what does this
thing do, he said it floats, they said on what, he says on water, they say but there is no such thing as
water resting upon the land for this boat to float. It was just impossible but yet Noah began to
construct in physical reality, a present, a now, a construction, a boat which had its life in nothing that
was exiting at the time, but had its life in conditions which would be future. The bible says he brought
salvation to his family. He constructed a meaningful present and brought salvation to his family. He
built a boat and saved the seed, amen. If Noah did not move in obedience, impelled by a vision ahead
of all his brethren. His people would have perished. It did not matter what God wanted to do there
would have been death. The word salvation is soteria it means "deliverance, it means preservation, it
means escape from bondage, it means release, it means peace, it means harmony, it means wisdom,
it means hope, it means avoidance of wrath, it means receiving of the total blessing, it means standing
and privilege before God, it means access to a new and better life".
And all Noah was doing was building a boat in the natural and nobody understood it. You know I was
thinking about this last night and the Lord said to me, to begin to build churches that will cater for
conditions that are not yet upon the earth. To build boats that will bring salvation and deliverance, in
times ahead. We miss the prophetic if all that we see about it is in the here and now. To run around
prophesying on people. The prophetic is more than prophesying on people. It is God's salvation. It is
God building an Ark upon the earth. To bring salvation, deliverance, preservation, escape from
bondage, release, peace, harmony, wisdom, avoidance of wrath, receiving of the total blessing,
standing or privilege before God, access to a new and better life; in the years to come. We are building
the end time church before the end times come upon us, amen. Twenty years from now this will be a
house of deliverance, a house of hope. The conditions that prophetic churches are being raised up to
begin to train people for, to begin to prepare people for don't quite yet exist on the earth but they
will come, amen. When the enemy rises like a flood, when new age comes to maturity where will the
word of the Lord be in the prophetic house, amen. Are you seeing it. We move not only in a little
stream, we move in the stream of the river of God's wisdom. All over the earth God is talking to people,
all over the earth he is taking them out of established denominations, he's taking them out from the
world, he's pulling them out from where ever he can find them, and God is in a new restorational
move, to bring forth a new kind of church, a new powerful house, to build up the house of the Lord.
He's calling for me to move in Holy fear, to prepare an Ark of the Lord to the salvation, the soteria of
their family. Amen. We come together today to build the house of the Lord, to build the ark of the
Lord for our relatives, for family that have not yet even been saved. This is not a joke, amen. This is
serious business. So, there is opposition going but we are pressing on as a people and as a church to
take ourselves into God's future to build an ark, to build an ark in holy fear to the preservation of the
family. Amen. Prophetic faith. The prophetic, the Noah principle exit today; Noah's faith is prophetic
faith it shapes the present, it prepares for the future before the future arrives. It seems somewhat
out of step with present reality. It builds things that seem unnecessary and even ridiculous. The faith
that makes us join pioneers all across the earth. To chart a new course for the church, to speak new
things into the body, to do things in a new way. Let's turn to Hebrews chapter 6 we want to read from
verse 13, verse 13, "So when God made his promise to Abraham since there was nobody greater for
Him to swear by God looked around and He says listen, I am going around for something greater to
swear by, he found nobody, so he swore by Himself . And He said I will surely bless you, I will give you
many descendants", and so after waiting patiently Abraham received what was promised. God spoke
and swore by Himself and then Abraham patiently waited or as the King James says, endured.
Abraham endured. Men swear by someone greater than themselves and the oath confirms what they
said and puts an end to all argument, because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His
purpose very clear to the heirs of what He had promised. God wanted to make the unchanging nature
of His purpose very clear to the heirs of His promise. He confirmed it with an oath. And God did this
so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie we, us, God swore to
Abraham, primarily. Not so much for Abraham as for us. You see without us, Abraham could not be
perfected. We are the culmination of his plan and purpose. God swore to Abraham, so that we who
have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. What is the inner energy
of faith that drives us forward into the future. It is a hope, it is a hope. The inner life of faith is hope.
Where is this hope, how does it work, what's its purpose. We have this hope as an anchor to our soul,
it's an anchor, it's a stabilizer. I read somewhere I believe that in the olden days when ships, sailing
boats were out in the ocean and there was a storm, that sometimes they would drop something they
call sea anchors or something overboard in order to stabilize the ship, amen. That hope is an anchor,
it stabilizes us, it is firm and secure. Where is that hope? Where is the real source and life and inner
energy of our faith?. Where is this, hope where is it found, where do we start from?. If we have to get
into Noah's faith, If we have to begin to creates things that manifest upon the earth impelled by things
that haven't yet been seen. If we have to begin to get energy in our steps to go in, and possess and
conquer. If we have to be of a pioneering spirit, as Noah and Abraham was, where is that hope. The
bible says its enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus who went before us has
entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. Where is the
hope, our hope is in the Holy of Holies, in heaven above, amen. It starts in the heavenly sanctuary.
Nothing that impels us starts upon the earth, amen. Nothing that moves us is concocted of Cain's
stuff, everything that moves us begins in the Holy of Holies. That's where it starts, that's where our
anchor is. If we were taken up into heaven and we were to go through the veil, and look into God's
glory upon the mercy seat; we would see a figure walking up and down in the midst of its light, we
would recognize Him to be Jesus, our High Priest. He's interceding, He's releasing, He's speaking, He's
supporting, He's ministering before the most Holy place, that we would succeed and come to fruition
and establish God's purpose on the earth. That's our backup, amen. That's the inner life of our faith.
That's why we put the Menora, on the logo, the candle stick, the seven branch candle stick, the
prophetic symbol of the Holy Ghost. The candle stick that lived in the Holy Place, The concourse of the
priest that shed its light upon the priestly behaviour, upon the priestly activity, in the heavenly place,
in the Holy of Holies Jesus moves up and down our High Priest , in the heavenly light. But we fulfil our
priesthood in Him by coming into the fullness of our destiny upon the earth, amen. We are a prophetic
people today. Romans 10:7 says " faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God", the NIV
says faith comes by hearing the message. Faith comes by hearing the message. And the message is
heard through the word of Jesus Christ, through the Rema word. Faith is powerfully built on the word
that is prophetic. God's utterance, God's speech, God's current speaking to the church. God's present
truth that Peter asked us to be established in, in which we seek as a body of people to be established.
It’s in God's word, it's in God's speaking, it's in God's utterance, it's in God's plan, it's in God's speaking
that we fulfil it. Not only as Elijah Centre but in our own lives, as an individual on our jobs, wherever
we live we can make our lifestyles supernatural. As God speaks, as God utters, as God releases His
word, into our lives day, after day, after day; we are joined to Him amen. I can feel it, amen. I can
sense it, amen. I am supernatural 24hrs a day. I can just feel Him. When I open my mouth he begins
to speak, amen. He whispers into my ear as I drive on the highway. He's a talking Christ, amen. He
loads my brain with things I can't perceive and comprehend, He flashes lights across me as I pray,
amen. I can sense Him, God can speak, he utters his speech is in our life and that's the concoction that
builds our faith. Faith comes by hearing the message and the message comes through the Rhema word
of Jesus Christ. The Rhema word of Jesus Christ. I want to release you today to begin to hear that
word. To begin to break past your limitations, stop looking upon things that are earthly, stop moving
in the Cain spirit and begin to rise up into the grandeur of Abel and begin to declare and say, "God's
speech is in my life, his shaping in my days, he moves in my dreams, amen, he energizes my spirit, his
anointing flows from me". Hallelujah, hallelujah, amen. Get excited about Him, amen. Get passionate,
don't be flaky, get passionate about Jesus, amen. Get more passionate about Christ than you are about
your wife, amen. Love Him, release Him this is what the ancients did. This is how these great giants
walked across the pages of scripture. This is how men like Elijah and men like David came to fullness
in the days of old. This is how men like Gideon came from threshing wheat in the winepress and
became deliverers of Israel. These men were impelled by a passion that was greater than
themselves. They tapped into a source that flowed straight from heaven. They possessed their
heavens above them. They waged war in the spirit of the living God. They released words that gave
life. They became supernatural people upon the earth, amen. I am a Son of God upon the earth, amen.
God gives me the privilege to say so. Jesus is the son, I am a son, I am His son upon the earth. My
father's hand is upon me, His voice is in my ear, his correction discipline, chasing and guidance is upon
my life. I move in obedience to His every command. His power flows through me. I am a son of God
upon the earth, amen. I love saying that, I love to say it to the heavens, I love to say it when nobody's
around. I love to tell the heavens and the demons and their principalities cringe back in fear. Satan
begins to foam at the mouth and He's saying, my God there is trouble on the earth, the whole church
is beginning to think like this. What shall I do? A pastor told me it’s is just wildfire we are beginning
to start in the church, it needs to be controlled, I say, Let the fire burn, Let the fire burn. Those who
are disobedient and don’t hear move out of the way. Let's God's purpose and destiny and plan come
to pass upon the planet. This land it ours, amen. The globe belongs to us. The universe belongs to me.
It's ours, it belongs to the body of Christ, amen. Isn't that good stuff. For years we read that the meek
will inherit the earth and it's true, you know, we, I used to have this picture of Jesus with this little
heart in His chest, you know these Catholics have this little funny cultic thing. With a little Jesus with
blue eyes and long blonde hair, long blonde hair and he has his head cocked to one side, sometimes
he has a little lamb, a little sheep or something, and his heart in his chest, looking like a little flake,
that wasn't , my Jesus. He was a man among men, amen. A carpenter until he was thirty, a rugged
man, a man with muscles, with wisdom, with gentleness and power. All over Nazareth there were
bureaus and beds and tables made by Jesus. People sat on His furniture, He charged them money. He
was known as the carpenter of Nazareth. He was the best. He was the hottest thing around with a
plane and a saw. He would go out in the woods and chop down a tree. Carve it up into logs, put it out
to cure, build stained furniture that nobody else could match. He did it until He was thirty and during
the days when he planed and sawed as the got into the rhythmer's work, His brain was opened to
revelation from on high and God would zap Him and pop Him and zap Him and chasten Him and He
learned obedience by the things that He suffered, God spoke to Him until He was thirty. When He was
29 He cried out and said, "God, I have enough I am ready," the Lords says," wait another year, " He
says," I am fully grown, I've got it, I understand, release me," God says, " Wait another year." And he
kept on planeing and varnishing, and putting on little handles and going back and doing repair jobs,
He had a couple of apprentices that He would help to run the shop after He left, He gave his mother
allowance every week. That’s how Mary lived, think Joseph, Joseph had died or something by then.
You know. And then one day at age 30, the Holy Ghost said separate yourself, amen, go forth, and
Jesus closed his shop and went forth to be a man among men, a supernatural human being, a God in
the flesh, who flowed in the power of the Holy Spirit, who could look at men like Peter and bring them
into leadership. Who could speak words of power and wisdom. His anointing was so mighty it covered
the entire earth. Wherever He went there was a flood of life, demons cried out in His presence , people
got healed as He passed by, His clothes were anointed, dripping with glory from on High. They touched
the hem of His garment and they got healed. I said God we need a supernatural Christ in this church,
amen. I am, tired of people laying hands on your neck and telling you if you move it the Holy Ghost
will come in, in the joints. Non-sense!! We need a supernatural God turning up all by Himself, just
arriving in our midst. Come in and do something supernatural, still the mouths of the enemies, those
who cry and say this is wrong. This is bad doctrine. Do something supernatural, begin to activate move
stir up every saint. God told us make your men leaders, we want no flakes or wimpy men. We want
men of courage and confidence, men who can stand as Priests in their homes; men of gentleness
and compassion, men of power and strength, men of anointing and ministry. This will not be a house
for the weak, not weak men, if you come here weak we strengthen you, amen. We want powerful
men who can stand under God's glory and God's anointing whose words will be full of wisdom
compassion and restraint, Jesus coming forth on the insides of them, ministering not their flesh nor
their self but Christ, amen. God just did it. I long for strong men, amen. We want to activate our
men so we can release the women into power. We want men, we want men, we want men, amen.
We want men, amen. Hallelujah, I just love Him, I can feel Him and sense Him, His spirit is flowing,
amen. Can you feel Him put your hands up, say Lord I can touch you, put your hands up, every person,
I don’t care if you're not saved, put your hands up. Say Lord I can touch you, I can feel your anointing
moving in my spirit, talk to Him, say Lord from this day I want to change, I don’t ever want to be the
same. Change me, radically change me, do something within, break something, change me, give me a
new vision, give me a new impelling, all the children, ask God to change you from today. Don’t get
emotional, just ask Him. Say God you are real. Move in my flesh, move in my spirit , make me a
different person, break something today. Give me a new vision today, give me a new anointing today,
amen. Send me back home with something, new. Something urgent, something vital, something alive
flowing and moving in my spirit. Something that can't be quenched, something that’s just coming out,
just coming forth, a flow, a flow, a flow, a river of power gushing from the inner man. Something
urgent and alive, something that will touch people I talk to and change them. Something supernatural
God. Something powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful in my spirit. Hallelujah. What kind of faith
was it, in Hebrews chapter 11 it was a faith, in verse 33 that subdued Kingdoms, amen. And God
planned something better for us as the church. It was a faith the subdued Kingdoms, amen. No power
in the heavens is above the church, of Jesus Christ; the corporate body, the one universal, powerful,
unified, one spirit, one faith, one Lord church, amen. We sing in our war song , we are the church a
mighty army. We sing for more than ourselves, we sing for the houses that are weak, we sing for the
houses that are resisting God's present truth. We sing into the spirit realm. We release currents in the
spirit to go forth and revive. We release God to make war outside the borders and boundaries of our
own life, our own self. We are like Abel we are bigger than ourselves. We are like Jabez who was more
honourable than his brethren who prayed unto God and said enlarge my boundaries, enlarge my
coast, give me dimensions and vastness that is beyond just me, amen. That's the body of Christ. It
subdued kingdoms, it wrought righteousness or the NIV says administered justice. It administered
justice, amen. We are the judges of the earth. We impose God's laws. We release God's vengeance ,
we cause God to shape the planet, amen. God's purpose as written in His word is coming to pass and
it's coming to pass in full co-operation with the church. All His judgements, all His power, all His
shaping, all his purpose is coming to pass on the planet, amen. We going to be writing history with
God, as the church of Jesus Christ. What kind of faith was it, It's a faith the gained what was
promised. It gained what was promised. What has God promised you, faith gains it. It's a faith that
gains it, it's a faith that wars through to the very end. It’s a faith that fights and breaks bondage, after
bondage , after bondage. It's a faith the frustrates the power of the enemy . That says its possible and
its coming and it will come to pass. It's the kind of faith we could go out with courage and boldness
and offer to the unsaved. Not a flaky little salvation, we offer them life, we offer them dignity and
nobility, we offer them an improved kind of life, above what they have, we offer them a philosophy
that's greater than the earth, we offer them truth that can break every bondage, we offer them to be
transformed from something cheap, into something dignified and noble. We tell men gain dimension
in Christ, stop being small and puny upon the earth. But become heroes and champions, conquerors
upon the earth. That's salvation, amen. We don’t offer them the four spiritual laws and little weak
things we tell them become men of God, become conquerors, come into relationship, touch God,
touch God and live. Amen. Hallelujah, that’s the faith we offer. It’s a faith that shuts the mouth of
lions, a faith that makes Satan toothless. It's a faith the crushes him. It's faith that takes us, like Daniel
into the lion's den and no lion can do us anything. It's a faith the wins the victory, even in the midst
of danger, even in the midst of attack, even in the midst of oppression. For the war will come but we
come through, victorious. That's the kind of faith it is. It's the faith the quench the fury of the flames.
When the Hebrew boys were put into the fire and they came out without even the smell of smoke
upon their clothes. That's the kind of faith that God is bringing into the church. It's a faith the escaped
the edge of the sword. It's a faith the turns weakness into strength. Are you weak today. Is there
weakness in your life, Is there a crumbling structure in the walls of your city. Is something falling
down, Is something weak and shaken. This faith puts strength, it gives hope, when the world says
you're finished there is nothing left for you, this faith comes in and says, God has a plan, God has a
destiny, God has a purpose, just activate it, you can't live in the world unsaved miles away from
God's destiny and plan. Salvation brings us into God's program, God's plan. It triggers us into God's
destiny and purpose, amen. We begin to flow in the currents of heaven. This faith makes men become
powerful in battle and it chases off foreign armies, I like that, it routes the armies. You know what is
to route, to route is to have your enemy running from you in fear, throwing away his sword , throwing
away his shield, stripping off his armour to run faster, bawling and screaming in fear, while you trundle
on behind him and chop the down as we come to the end you cut them down from the hack, chop
chop, you ever wondered why there was so much war in the Old Testament. We are warriors, I love
blood, I would have made a good soldier with David. I just love it, chop them down, cut demons in
half, break the plan of the enemy, subdue and route the armies of the evil one. Women received their
dead to life. We were all dead at one time but God has brought us to life and isn't the life good. Isn't
it wonderful, isn't it powerful, doesn't it flood your mind with wisdom and light. Some were raised to
life again, amen. We want this house to be a house where the dead are raised to life. We believing
God for it both physically and in the spirit, amen. Both physically and in the spirit. It's time to believe
God, amen. We want to believe God for men raised to life spiritually in this house. Dead men coming
in and walking out alive, in the spirit. Some were tortured and refused to be released, this faith is a
powerful faith. When God's will and God's program and God's purpose and God's destiny in Christ, ran
counter to physical comfort, safety and good earthly sense. These men rose up to a different level,
and declare that the call and pull of the earth was less than the call and pull of heaven and attained
glory with God. Some were tortured, they refused deliverance. Some we flogged, some were
persecuted but they all came through to a great and powerful faith. The Lord says at the end of the
chapter, these men were all commended for their faith, all their vision, all their wisdom, all their
understanding, God said yes you did well, this was great God said. He says guys this was just good. I
commend you, excellent. He says now sit here for a while in heaven and let me unveil to you my
masterplan. He says guys you sit here, Gideon take a seat, Samson sit down, David you sit down, now
fellows , you all were just kindergarten, you all were just starters, let me unveil to you my masterplan
the church. He says these all were commended for their faith, none of the received what had been
promised. But God had planned something better for us, amen. So that those guys, together with us,
would be made perfected. I want to leave the word with you today, that God has planned something,
better for us, amen. Take it as a word, for your own individual life, look up into heaven and say God
has planned something better for me, amen. For Elijah Centre God has planned something better for
us, for the entire church of Jesus Christ God has planned something, God has planned it, it's carefully
laid out. There isn't a hitch, there isn't a miss. It's a program, it's a plan. It's a sequence of events and
circumstances, of revelation of truth. God has planned it, God sat and carefully orchestrated it,
planned it, programmed it. It's so sure and certain, it is based and anchored in the Holy Place of
heaven. If you can tear the anchor out of the Holy Place, if you can tear the anchor out of the inner
sanctuary beyond the veil then you can break the plan, it is so powerful, it is sure and certain. God
went to Abraham, he by two things in which He couldn't lie. He swore by Himself, He came to us and
He anchored it in Christ. In the heavenly Holy Sanctuary He says, that’s how sure this plan is, it is going
to come to pass. God has planned something, amen. Something. God has planned something, He has
planned something, it's coming to pass. God has planned something and it's better, amen. God
planned it, God planned something and it is better and He planned it, designed it, initiated it just for
us.
