Brian Guerin emphasizes the significance of intimacy with God in his sermon 'The Mantle,' drawing parallels between the prophetic acts of Elijah and Elisha. He highlights the importance of waiting on the Lord and being open to the supernatural, as well as the need for believers to cultivate a deep, personal relationship with God. Guerin encourages the congregation to seek the God of Elijah for breakthroughs in their lives, suggesting that a striking of the mantle can lead to divine encounters and transformations. He also reflects on the urgency of the hour, urging the church to be prepared for the return of the Lord and to maintain their spiritual oil through intimacy with Him.

Thank you Jesus. Oh, that'd be awesome, thanks man. Yeah, so... Praise God, we made it. Everybody sleep okay? Awesome. Sorry we were a little late. Man, I didn't know you had to like brush off your windshields and all that stuff. There was a lot of steps in there that nobody told us about. I must get that back. Is that okay? Okay. Yeah, but we got broke in man. We got the full experience. Judah found, I think the Lord, the rental car had the brush in there. It's like, Judah man, get to work. I'll put the luggage in the back and we'll get going. Because the SUV was covered man. So beautiful. And so we pulled a rookie move man. We left our passenger door open and he goes to brush off the windshield and straight into the door. Have you guys ever done that? Of course not. Okay, good. And I'm like, oh great. It's going to like fry out the electronics on the window, you know, whatever. I hope we return it before all that happens and I'm teasing. But anyway, so we made it and praise the Lord. But I kid you not, last night we saw a car almost lose it. I said, man, he just seems a little too confident. He came whipping up the left. I was like, Judah, that seems fast, doesn't it to you? I mean, we're still assessing everything. You know what I mean? This morning I was, I'm just so into lately the fear of the Lord and I know God's in it and I was like, man, I'm feeling that same reverential awe for this snow. You know what I mean? I'm like, I respect it. And uh, but last night, sure enough, homeboy got bold and he was whipping up the left and sure enough, he did a full woom woom, you know, and uh, but I think he did like you told me, just don't slam the brakes and he gave me a few tips on the way home and uh, and then this morning, sorry, this is all exciting. It's new to me. Y'all see it every day. Y'all are like, y'all are like, this is life, man. This is what we do. But there was people at least two, maybe more, that just went off the side. They're still in their cars, you know, and I'm going, they just, man. So anyway, but we made it. Praise his name. We had like 14 angels around the car getting us here and that was good. So yeah, anyway, super excited to be back with you guys. Such an honor. Man, it's so beautiful. Slept well. You guys sleep okay? Everybody have their coffee? Come on. Is that a shot back there? Shots or just with the beard? I don't know if it's what he got from the cafe or what. But anyway, so I'm excited this morning. We'll see where we end up. I actually saw something in prayer. Happy Valentine's Day, too, by the way. Whatever that means. I don't know a lot about the holiday, but if it includes love, God is love, so we'll take it. But I totally forgot about that until my daughter, I saw some posts, and so my daughter is my valentine. They just say, Happy Valentine's Day. Love you. She texted back. She's a beauty. She's probably watching. I guarantee you she figures it out. If this is live, she'll figure it out. But I think that's exciting, too, and something's on that. Love your red hair, by the way, man. That is awesome. What's your name? Goodell. Where are you from, man? Idaho. Okay. Cool. Is that far from here? A little bit? Oh, another state over. Okay. Anyway, love your hair. But it's caught me off guard this morning. I was waiting on the Lord. Hopefully we'll do kind of a buffet this morning. I've got to obey the word of the Lord, but also want to hit intimacy if we can somehow if I got one shot at you. Let that land, and then let the spirit move if that's okay. Again, I know it's not a typical Sunday morning. I feel like it is here, though. I feel like you guys just let it rip. I saw it last night, so I think we're in good company. Oh, I'm going to forget. Do we have books here? Do any of you know? Does anybody mind grabbing just one of each? I'd love to give those away. I'll forget. Whichever ones they are, they sent. And would love to sew those into you guys as well, just material such as this. I'd love to sew them back into this house if that's okay. So you guys scoop them up, and if you kind of tight right now financially, just grab one, and if not, sew it back into this house. All the money's on that. I'm not trying to make a dollar off of it, but thanks, buddy. Thank you so much. Whoa, they sent a bunch of them, man. They got a little mini library going. I'll be more than happy to sign them after. Some people enjoy that. Some people don't. Whatever. No, I'm serious, man. I was in Atlanta at a conference once and signing books after in this precious man who's a businessman. I had seen him. We were in this we call these glory nights, these weekends we host, and it just kind of bombs go off. We just sort of house them around him. Not a whole lot of deep teaching, but just his manifest presence. In those meetings, they can get a little wild at times. How many of you know Heaven's Order is not quite always our order? It's getting near the throne. You've got like four-headed creatures flying around, six wings. I'm serious. This is the Bible. So if you'd like to be a part of that company or not, it's just who we serve. It's quite Narnia-ish, the Bible, if you look at it, really. You're looking like God of all creation, what he chose to have nearest him. And it's these creatures. They open their wings. You think they're already freaky enough looking. They open their wings, and their wings are full of eyes looking at you. So you just see some wild things. But the meetings can get interesting at times when the Holy Spirit moves. If you're kind of stoic and not really flung in the Spirit, you stand out in these type meetings. And so I saw him all weekend. I wasn't going to say that because he was a businessman, just real, had everything together, which I think is awesome. But I was signing books at the end, and he comes up and he's like, no, no, I don't need a signed book. He was one of those guys, a businessman. He's like, no. Which by the way, some people sell our books signed on Amazon. That's not us. They sell them real expensive. Sometimes don't think that's us. Don't just email us or get these. We don't do that. But he comes up and he's like, I want to tell you something. I want to be honest with you. It was on this book right here, this God of Wonders book. He said, I read one of your books. He goes, now hear me out. Showed me his business card. Well put together, businessman. He says, I read your book. I'm going to be honest with you. I went to bed arguing with God. I said, there's no way. God, you don't do that type stuff, God of Wonders, signs and wonders that God moves it. That's what I love about you guys. I'm only two days with you, but I'm just seeing such a strong foundation in him, intimately. First year intimacy, man. Second year, the goal of the gospel. Third year, make disciples. I mean, there is nothing else. It's the fullest. I don't even know much about the school, but you guys got to join up. The ministry, my goodness. I think if we're not careful, sometimes we can get imbalanced. I don't know if you've seen this. You can go too heavy intimacy camp and there's no goal of the gospel. It's like, man, there's no disciples. You can get too heavy into the goal and love thy neighbor, and then you neglect the secret place. You end up in Matthew 7. Many mighty exploits casting out devils, prophesying, and the Lord's like, I don't know you. And so we need a company right now. Just really commend you guys with what you're producing, who you are, and what you embody. I mean, it's so beautiful and quite rare, honestly, if you look at the broad stroke and scheme of things. So anyway, signs and wonders, how God speaks, and I'll point back to him. He goes, I'm going to be honest with you, man, I was arguing, saying, no way, some of this stuff happens, because I just see some wild stuff that I don't have anything to do with. I just love Jesus, and this stuff happens. How many of you know, if you fall in love with a king, his kingdom comes with him? And it's something I honestly accidentally stepped into. What are we watching on time here? Oh, it's whatever again? Okay. I just want to, you've got to honor leadership. Yeah, we're snowed in. I don't fly out until late either, so y'all are stuck, man. I'm going to just, no, I'm teasing. I'll be mindful of you. So anyway, he comes up, I'm at the table, and he says, you know, I'm arguing with God about these signs, this, that, and the other. I said, no way, God, you wouldn't do that. He didn't believe in any of it. And he says, so he goes to bed. We've just seen some wild stuff, especially in the angelic realm come around, which they're just messengers, kind of the UPS men of heaven, I like to say. Hebrews 1.14 says, aren't angels ministering spirits sent to assist those who inherit salvation? That's why we didn't fly off the road this morning, but everybody else did. We had angels. I'm teasing, but they assist you in so many ways. And when they come around, stuff can get wild. You see, even in the book of Acts where Peter was locked up for the gospel, there it says an angel came in. If you read closely, it says, and a light shone. A light shone, had nothing to do with anything that happened. He touched Peter and the chains fell off. Angels don't even mess with these worldly bondages. They don't even acknowledge them. They care about the gospel that they then look into to see how we know. But I'm saying that the bondages of the natural, they don't even flow by that. They bid to do his will. Didn't even mess with the chains. Touched Peter, the chains fall off. They get up, walk by sentry guard standing, meaning they were blinded. How many of you would love to do that when you're at the grocery store and you see that person that always annoys you, you just want to be blinded. Just like don't talk to me. Totally teasing. But God near the city gate, gate opens on its own. And you see things like this. And so we've seen some wild stuff. Anyway, so this guy is like, I went to bed. Things with electronics and just wild stuff. How God speaks in very mysterious ways that, um, how many of you know the Bible says signs and wonders, follow them that believe. I want to encourage you guys to become like a child. It's the childlike that enter the kingdom. When you become a know-it-all, you'll notice the supernatural realm will shut off. When everything, there's a big difference between like Pharisee type spirit where show me and I'll believe. Show me these signs and I'll believe. God won't show you anything. They follow them that believe. Gideon now says, show me a sign because I believe. Remember he needed a sign to confirm God's word. God's like, sure with that type heart. Gave him wonder after wonder after wonder with the fleece. So God loves to perform things, but just our heart often matters. So, you know, become like a child. So anyway, he goes to bed. They're like, get to the story already. And he's arguing with God, shuts the book. He's like, no way. Well, in the middle of the night on his nightstand, his iPad, sorry if this freaks some of you guys out, but this is nothing compared to like four living creatures. I mean, just read the Bible for a little bit and, uh, but I believe God has a sense of humor. So his iPad turns on supernatural in the middle of the night and a passage of Randy Clark's preaching at him. The Lord just picked Randy Clark as the key spokesman for the night, preaches at him and then it shuts off in the middle of the night. Freak this man out, businessman. He's like, bro, I came all the way just to tell you, I don't need a book sign. Why do I need that? He's one of those guys which is great, but he then knew with wonders like this and we've seen way too many. Sorry if that freaks you guys out, but yeah, you know, things get interesting. So anyway, yes, yes. Yeah, I read, I think you were like, hey, you should read this book. Let's see which one. Yeah, Supernatural Realities. I read it. I was like, this is awesome. Go to bed. Same thing. I went to bed and because I read it, I knew what to do after it happened, but I went to bed and I felt this. I was like kind of in that state where you're like asleep, but you're like, am I asleep? I'm not sure. And I heard a knock. No, no, that was the second time. So the first thing I felt was this. I just felt this across my face and I was like, what in the world was that? I woke up and I'm like, Katie's out. I'm like, look at my clock. Look at my phone. It's like, alright. Took note, put it in my phone. It's like, I got another 20 minutes before I'm supposed to be awake. So Lord, you could have waited a little bit, but apparently for the passage. So I went back to sleep. I fell back asleep and in my, I literally heard three knocks and I wake up. I look at my clock. It's like two minutes before I'm supposed to be awake and I instantly, for whatever reason, know what book and then the clock, the basically the start of a passage and the end of a passage. I go and I look and it was exactly the start of a passage and the end of a passage and it was exactly what was pertaining to something that I was entering into. So it was amazing. So you should read his books. They're amazing. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah. So it's just unique. You know, God will, if you'll let him, he'll move in really fun ways, but it all is the way he speaks and always has actually in scripture. Sometimes I think we're a bit glazed over. We don't see it until you encounter it. I love Michael Aquiliano says signs and wonders are super weird until they start happening to you and it's true. It's like, I don't know, but when they break into your world, you're like, oh my gosh, you've got, then you've got to deal with it. Like either lean in and see what God's saying. He speaks in them and that's, what's most important to intimately know what he's saying. And so you can then obey accurately. And anyway, buddy, you might hand them these out. I've got a bunch. I won't spend too much. I'm divine encounter. God of wonders angelic realm. This is a big one though. Contemplations on character. This is massive. While yet, of course, we love the supernatural aspect of God earnestly covet the gifts. Paul writes eagerly desire that you may prophesy but walk in faithfulness purity, loyalty man, let loyalty and kindness. The proverb says never leave you exclamation Mark. Don't ever let loyalty and kindness leave you with these two things. The Bible says the favor of both God and man will rest upon you all the days of your life. You want the favor of God, but like we want to be a jerk or like not be loyal. You know, these things are really, really massive character. My favorite right now, bridal company. I believe it's what the Lord's really on in this hour. And anyway, scoop those up. I'll be glad to sign them at the end if you want Judah. Yeah. Wherever you feel that matter, if you want to just pitch them, see their catching skills. Okay, so so I want to share a few things. A couple of dreams and then something I saw this morning in prayer that I believe is the word of the Lord for this morning. And and then if we have time for intimacy, we'll see. Good job buddy. I'm proud of you. Yes indeed. So one, I was awakened out at 444. I love that. Tom mentioned that often the Lord will speak in these ways. You know, he'll wake you up at exact times. Have you ever been woken up at exact times that tie into dreams and verses? Okay, you guys get it. Or you see numbers a lot and things like this. You say, where's that in the Bible? They didn't have clocks back then. I'm saying, where did Moses wake up on his iPhone? Oh yeah, they didn't have iPhones. So he speaks in the current day and hour, but you'll for sure see numbers tied into meanings throughout Scripture. I won't go there. But this one, I'll share it fast. Typically, the three fours is Isaiah 44 four with me that shows me what I believe is really strong on this house. And if you read it in a nutshell, it says the spirit of the Lord is going to be poured out upon your offspring, your children and descendants. And they'll grow up like willows by streams of water, meaning fast acceleration and depth in the spirit. So it shows me a lot about you guys. There's something on the youth, I believe, that you guys carry and will pour into that will Isaiah 44, the Holy Spirit upon the young ones. How many of you know they're going to be the ones that carry the torch and take this thing in? If we neglect that, like, what are we doing? And growing up fast. And then this other dream that I believe told me a lot about Pastor Tom in this house to just affirm, but also just lets me know it's really beautiful. I'll go into this dream last night and sure enough, it's people sliding off the road in the snow and stuff. And Tom showed up on the scene like that. I knew it was your people and I knew his heart was just one person that people could neglect. He was the type of shepherd that will go after the one sheep. Very loyal. He'll go out of his way. So yeah, everybody's nodding their heads. They know you man. And that's awesome because I've just my second day here, but it was precious to see you in the dream. I was like, man, this is the real deal. He'll go out of his way to find one that just went off in the ditch or one that you have to pull back. But then the dream panned in that scene and we see a young man. I believe you weren't here last night, but I believe you're here this morning. Don't raise your hand. But it was starting to veer out a little too far on this icy lake that we knew was going to cave in at some point. And I knew it was getting too far out there to retrieve back. Tom would still get you if he can, but sometimes we go so far it's hard to get you back. And I want to encourage you if you're hearing me. There's a young man that just choices and things that have been made or being made. I touched on this last night to stay away from evil, keep on staying from the world, but to not tiptoe through that kind of haphazardly. These decisions now is the day of salvation coming to the Lord. And so you really want to just yield your life, I believe by the end of this morning fully over to the Lord again. And I thought that was awesome, man, that you would you walk in that and carry that. And so I want to share this. I was waiting on the Lord this morning. I mean, it's really good that we wait upon the Lord. And I don't know if you guys know that's a very literal application. I didn't know this until 2006. I came out of Brownsville. We shakalaka, we prayed in tongues, shook like intercession flags for nations. I didn't do that, but they did. And it was awesome. But, you know, I knew the word praying in tongues, worship. That was it. And then I would just play my guitar in my room until the presence came and follow my face, weeping and that was it. But I didn't know waiting upon the Lord. Psalm 4610, be still and know that I am God. Isaiah 40, those who wait upon the Lord will mount up on wings like eagles. And so it literally means that sometimes we say, yeah, I'm just waiting on the Lord, brother. It's like this Christian cliche thing. We're returning text messages in the mall, just waiting on the Lord, you know, he's going to speak. But it means a real prayer posture of being still and shutting everything off. And I want to encourage you guys that we get back to that. That's you see Moses where God says, Moses, come up to the mountain. I want to speak to you and man, it's so beautiful out there. Can y'all see that? That's insane, man. I can't keep my eyes off of it. Come up to the mountain. I'll speak to you there. Moses goes up one day, two days. The glory came down, but God never spoke. He's waiting upon the Lord. He didn't have the latest like iTunes track playing on his iPhone. It's him, a mountain in God. He waits one day, two days, three, four, five, six days. A lot of us won't wait six hours, six minutes. I'm not trying to be condemning. I'm just saying like, if we're really hungry, we sing these things, but we really have to, you know what I mean, that works. I love that, again, the prophetic word of he holds us. He does, but he's also a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. I'm telling you, in this hour, there's those ones that are going to roll up their sleeves and just go after heaven, man. He's going to speak and come upon people powerfully. Seventh day, God finally spoke, and Moses ascends further up into the cloud. Just waiting on the Lord, wanted to kind of bring a quick exhortation on that. I'm doing that this morning, and totally caught me off guard. I saw the prophetic scene of where Elisha, and I love this, man, because I don't know if you know, you can teach the word of God never returns void. You teach the word of God, we preach, we make disciples, that's what you do. But every so often, the Lord gives now, his now breath in and through the word for a moment. And when, I've seen this for years and around the globe, when he does this, let me tell you, he backs it by the potency of his presence, and there's fruit. And I really feel this morning, sorry for who came last night and didn't come this morning, hopefully they're going to watch the preview or no, the post view, whatever of this. But I really feel there's going to be some substance of something shift major this morning because of what I saw. And we'll make room for that at the end. But I saw the prophetic scene where Elisha takes his, the mantle of Elijah and slaps the water to split it. Do you guys remember that? And I was like, it really caught me off guard. I'm sitting there waiting on the Lord, and I saw the cloak swing and pop the water to split it, and I was like, I come out of it. You know, when you're waiting on the Lord, sometimes your consciousness is not all there. I'm just like, how does this apply? And knowing the Lord sure enough, I totally forgot chapter and verse where that was, but listen, this is how he speaks to me to really confirm when, meaning I'll probably never share this word again. It's a now, right now this morning with many of us in here, I believe it's going to hit to, how many of you know God doesn't just reveal to wow in a moment with his voice? He reveals to heal. I love the Bible says after Jesus rose again, the book of Acts says Jesus began to do and teach. He began, he always teaches, exhorts, trains, but he brings substance and a movement of the spirit and power. He does both. And, um, but sure enough, it's 2 Kings chapter 2 verse 14. It's the exact chapter and verse to today. The exact spot where he slaps the water and splits it. I had no idea it's to the exact day. Yeah, and um, and listen, I love when he does it because he knows I don't know. I have a hard trouble remembering where they are, the chapters and verses, but when he does it, I've just seen it. It's a pivotal moment in the spirit when something's going to hit and shift. And I want to raise your expectancy. I'm expecting for it as well. I believe it's really what's on the pastors in this house, but I just want to read it to you. Do my best to explain prophetically what I feel it is and we'll land with you guys and make room for the Holy Spirit here at the end because I believe that's something real pivotal. And it's just ironic enough. It's February 14th Valentine's Day. And how many of you know Bob Jones? Do you ever do you know much about that prophet? Really amazing man. He went to home to be with the Lord on Valentine's Day in tandem with his encounter. Do any of you not know who Bob Jones is? It's okay if you don't. Okay. He was a really profound prophet this past generation and you can look him up prophesied many incredible things over the years and a main one is a billion soul harvest and things like this. So he got taken to heaven and me and Judah were watching it again recently just being stirred. I mean, you know, sometimes it's good to dig back into old wells of the prophetic and movements of God go on YouTube and I do this all the time Hagan meetings whatever any streams I can get a hold of man. I'll find like a good oily Charles Stanley. I don't care. Not even Holy Ghost just teaching. You know what I mean? I don't care. Just I'm hungry man. I want him and would encourage you guys just dig into all kind of stuff faith power the spirit whatever and but he got taken to heaven this prophet and the Lord told him way back. I think in the 80s before that there would be a pill coming that would bring about abortion way before people were like no way and he says and I saw these Asian people on these small TVs. They were iPhones today. He said they were watching prayer movements on small TVs in their hands. That's the only way he knew how to describe it in this vision and all the stuff he prophesied way before his time and so he the devil told him he says look the Lord said start prophesying about this stuff and then the devil came to him and says if you do speak on this I'll kill you and he told the devil he says I'm not yours anymore. I don't fear you. I'm going to do what the Lord says but an attack came and the devil did kill him. So he goes to heaven but it was always how many know the Lord always has the trump card. He's always got the yeah the checkmate at hand. So it was really played into the Lord's favor in design of encounter. So he gets up to heaven and he sees two lines sad sadly enough the line going to hell was way larger. He said 80 to 20 percent something like that wasn't it no 98 to 2 percent. Yeah, the Bible says many are called for your chosen broad is the path at least to destruction and he said the people going down the beltway to hell were wrapped in what their God was. So if it was alcohol was your God and you live for it you were like wrapped in alcohol bottles. If money was your God you were wrapped in money and you'd go into eternal darkness forever that way. Is this okay with you guys? Sorry it's the Bible. I don't even know there's a real hell real heaven like don't listen to the nonsense that's going around. There's all kind of like lightweight stuff popping up and we're going to say to the raw word of God man. We're going to stay on that. There's a heaven. There's a hell period, you know, it's it is all tied into God's perfect love and justice. He's so good. Anyway, happy Valentine's Day. I'm teasing teasing you got to keep it light. So over in his line, he's going to the Lord and the Lord would tell them all have you learned how to love and and they said as they did they would enter into his heart. How many know the Bible says nobody comes to the father but through Jesus when this encounter in heaven they would go they would kiss the Lord and go through him. It's like his heart would open up double doors and they go in and through he said a precious heavy set black woman came up filled with joy. He said she had probably like a hundred angels around her and she was one of the most profound ones that stuck out. She was evangelist and learned how to love. She'd win so many souls to the Lord kiss. The Lord went in another lady came up kind of crippled with arthritis. He says, did you learn how to love? She says no Lord, I was hurt when I was young and I never learned how to love but I loved you alone. He says, you know, your rewards will be small, but she still made it into heaven. Bob Jones, he puckers up. He says that man, this is it. I'm clean. I'm going to be with the Lord. He parkers up to kiss the Lord and the Lord stopped him. He says you've got to work to do and it was to go back and learn how to love and so he completed died on the day February 14th some years ago as a sign. You got to watch profits. Their lifestyle is very unique. John Paul Jackson was another one born in the 11th month. I don't you guys knew that he was he was in his mother's womb for 11 months. John Paul Jackson, a complete born sign and wonder as a sign of an 11th hour profit meaning he and he just passed away. Me and Michael got to meet with him, right? I think the year or so before he passed and this guy was a gunner. Listen, his eyes pierce you and we're sitting in his office in Dallas. I'm going man any hammered intimacy he he Mike Tyson uppercut at hyper grace teaching had no time for it. I'm just being honest with you. I love this because he's integrity and and look you can't hyper over hyper the true grace of God is it's way to you don't I mean you can't even explain it, but it's just a sloppy side to it and but anyway another profound one, but if he passed recently as an 11th hour profit, that means we're in the last days. You know what I mean? And I mean isn't it good of God to have entrusted us in this last hour like how many of you ever feel like you're not qualified at all every day I wake up and what's beautiful about that is this last company is that cry for we it's only done by grace grace shouts of grace grace that cry for by his grace alone only he will get glory for it and so so anyway Bob you can check this out too is a crazy wonder before he passed with his clock in this hotel room that they have this on YouTube started spinning crazy it stopped at eight and spun around if you guys have ever seen that but you can check the whole revelation there but anyway so this morning though when I saw that that mantle strike the water and it split had no idea it's the exact chapter and verse to the month and day of right now and I really feel there's going to be a striking and a splitting of some sort for many of us in this service this morning me included I pray but just want to read it to you we'll see where we where we direct with it and hopefully make time for some intimacy as well but you all know this already this verse I'll give you a bit of a backdrop on it even though I know we know it but just to remind us so you had Elijah you all remember Elijah baddest prophet in the land well Elisha his predecessor he you know we're into the last final time of Elijah and one thing that to and it also tells me a lot man listen Elijah who knows how many of you know who's coming back right before the return of the Lord again Elijah so I'm sitting there watching this and I'm knowing the hour we are in there's many revelations that would even tie into it I won't bog down the time for it but I'm telling you there's something right now in this company that's leading on to the return of the Lord into the millennial reign that's a whole other deal I know that's a bit touchy but the thousand year reign of the Lord the power of the ages to come the Bible talks about so you have the last hour of Elijah the prophet Elisha is running with him Elijah's like look I gotta go over here he keeps trying to juke him out you guys remember that to fake him out said no I gotta go here and he was kind of testing him which sometimes it's good to know that God sometimes will allow forks in the road if you're not careful to stick by him you can miss it on destiny you see this in different installments the road to Emmaus Jesus comes and says disciples were following and Jesus said after he rose again that he was going to keep walking and see what they said but they desired for him to stick with them and he came broke bread they could see him but anyway just staying with the Lord so Elijah goes back to this is what's really unique because there's two prophets Revelation 11 that show up right before the Lord's return it's Elijah and Moses I know this is debatable but just do just study it study it a lot of people say it's Enoch but it doesn't line up at all biblically if it is your theology then great I'm not trying to go there but there's two prophets the resume in Revelation 11 this is the resume one can turn blood into water call on any kind of plague just the full resume of Moses one can shut up the heavens and call fire down it's Elijah and who are the two that showed up on the mount of transfiguration when Jesus came? Moses and Elijah you just see them always tied in um and the bible has this unique passage that says God buried Moses it's like I don't know what that was you know what I mean and Satan tried to steal his body anyway just read it when you have time and search it out but my that's not really where I'm trying to go I'm just trying to point at there's another connection where remember Moses came right up to the Jordan remember they crossed through the Red Sea brought a company there's a prophetic storyline here that's leading us up to this last hour before the Lord's return Moses led them right up to the Jordan peaked in and then Joshua brought the company past into the promised land you guys remember that he had to stop there well Elijah who him and Moses are always in tandem leading right up to Revelation 11 before the Lord's return Elijah he knows his time's up he works his way back across to that same side of the bank of the Jordan if you watch it he goes like Bethel he goes all these different places and then he slaps the water splits it to get over to that bank prophetically you gotta watch prophets in the prophetic everything they do is very strategic it's not like hey this will be fun I got some good snacks on the other side of the Jordan we'll do that before I pass out you know before I check out but he goes to the same side chariots come they get split he gets caught up in a whirlwind you guys remember that his mantle falls on the same side where Moses and all of them were then Elijah is like the prophetic picture of Joshua the same company that's now going to slap the water and go back into what would be the promised land the millennial reign the Lord's return things like this so it shows me also the broad stroke of the hour we are in that the Lord's leading us to as a company to lead into many of us I believe we'll see the Lord's return I know that's touchy but you know we'll just see time will tell Bible says nobody knows the day or hour but seasons I promise you that you were going to pick up on it and anyway so the slapping of the water I believe prophetically too for this morning here and now let me read it to you Elijah picked up Elisha's cloak verse 13 which had fallen when he was taken up then Elisha returned to the bank of the Jordan River you follow me why did the two prophets that come right before the Lord's return they trigger the Lord's return go to the exact same side of the bank and perform exact same splitting of water that their predecessors then came that's the other thing Moses to Joshua and Elijah to Elisha they were the only water splitters in all of scripture all of them isn't that interesting all of them the leader and their predecessor they all split water and cross through it's a sign of crossing through and into the Lord's return which I believe will be a thousand year reign anyway that's a whole nother deal but he struck this in verse 14 this is what I saw this morning and what I believe the Lord's going to do it's going to look like so many different things for many of us too bad for those that were here only last night am I right I'm teasing totally teasing but I just love because I know how he is when he's specific like this to a verse I don't share it any other time but watch this he struck the water with Elijah's cloak and cried out this is what's I believe going to happen where is the Lord the God of Elijah that striking of the cloak triggered the God of Elijah to come then the river divided and Elisha went across so I believe there's something going to happen this morning where some of us are up to a point now that you're stuck there's no way you're going to get across without the God of Elijah showing up and that I know in our lives mine as well looks way different from person to person but listen to me when I see it like that to the exact day to the verse to the chapter to the month of the day or so forth it's he backs it which is all him I have nothing to do I just love him and he does what he does but there's some of us I believe your attitude there's been a transition point now what led you up till now Elijah your predecessor is now gone and now you're stuck and you can't even get back to the land unless the supernatural comes does that make sense God's the God of Elijah has to come in the water has to be slapped to split it to move forward and I believe something like that's going to really go down this morning for many of us it's going to look like many different things it could be financial healing in your body relational I know last night I spoke with people there's lost loved ones that just won't come back things like this that God redeems and restores but but I believe there's going to be a splitting and it would be awesome I was going to see if we could if we could maybe lay hands in the form do you guys do fire tunnels at all or know what they are you do know what they are okay because it would be awesome to just join with your team in the anointing or whatever because I would love for everybody that would want prayer in this regards to receive and sometimes it's hard to mingle through the crowd as well and if you don't want prayer that's no worries we'll pray corporately but I believe even a prophetic act who knows we could call it whatever you want but just crossing through and when we lay hands man I'm really praying for a supernatural split and a transformation of sorts it's funny when I bring up fire tunnels I love to tell this story some of you may have heard with Todd White and this fire tunnel we had on a cruise ship we do this event we haven't now since the whole COVID thing but we just got off of our last one because of COVID we just got off of this cruise ship and that's when the world did what it did and whatever but we basically just hop on a cruise ship a bunch of us and everybody gets stuck with us for like a week straight in the glory it's awesome and on this one our last night we were going to do this it's dear friends we run with a ministry you guys know Todd White with the dreadlocks and Daniel Kalenda some of these guys so the last night it's Daniel's session he's preaching fire and brimstone man he's on the anointing and I'm not touching it and he didn't realize but our time we only had up to a certain slot because on these cruise ships everything it's like small cities on this I mean have you ever been on a cruise before yeah oh you went without him that was before that's awesome Tom was taking up his cross that's awesome oh it was before okay that's awesome anyway but they're really fun if you get caught up in glory on these things it's just awesome but on this one the last night they're like small cities on these boats where everything's moving there's events and things like this so we're in a lounge that they right after our slot was done they had people filing in for karaoke and so I know we gotta get out with our contract at so and so time well Daniel he in the anointing I guess he just forgot the time and I was like I'm not touching that our sound person left because they got a move that was hired and everything so nobody's running the sound now I'm going oh great and we had promised everybody we would lay hands on everybody but I'm really believing man love for maybe whoever you want to select and just a swirl something that mantel slapping something shifting body stack up that'll be fine we can do whatever you know we can move and follow your leadership but so the last night Daniel runs it right up to the end and we have like 15 minutes left I'm like we got like 300 people there's no way we can do a fire tunnel in 15 minutes so I got up there and I was like so sorry and I hate this because I want to keep my word but I was like I'm so sorry we're just not going to have time to do this fire tunnel or whatever it's basically just it's scriptural they're laying on of hands but you get across each other and the anointing builds and God just kisses it healings and bodies impartation gifts imparted commissionings how many of you know Acts 13 says they fasted and prayed and hands laid on and Holy Spirit sent Paul and Barnabas that's where they became apostles before that they were teachers and preachers under the order of teachers and preachers they were sent apostles sent ones and then Acts 14 says apostles Paul and Barnabas so so much happens in these moments Todd comes up though right as I'm telling the people sorry we don't have enough time he comes up in my ears like bro we can totally do it he's like no look double doors in the back on their way out we just set it up by the exit doors it'll be brilliant he's telling me this he's like dude it'll be so fast soon as they go out the door we're done we'll go to dinner and then like spirit of dumb hits me in the moment I'm like genius I think it's like a brilliant plan I think it's the perfect plan and so sure enough man heaven snuck in look like they're shooting bodies with taser guns I mean just bodies are flying getting people getting hammered drunk in the Holy Spirit filled with joy bodies are stacking up they're blocking the elevator out there and the stairwell and this is like a major contract we have with like Royal Caribbean I'm thinking great we're done like they're calling us you know we're over and uh so oh but what was amazing is the karaoke people were building a line waiting to get in and they're sitting there watching this going what is going on and this one lady this couple the lady even had a cocktail in her hand alcohol they're probably thinking I want what they're drinking you know what I'm saying whatever their hands are way better and so Jessica Michael's wife Jessica Benny Hint's daughter really precious and Benny Hint who's an amazing man of God I want you guys to know that he loves Jesus he blesses the food and you feel the glory of God I'm serious but precious family so Jessica sees him and she tells him hey you want to come on through it's awesome lost couple totally alcohol drink in her hand husband's got a brace on his arm like he's injured he's got a cast on or something one of those velcro things he's uh in his forearm and hand they're like sure sounds great they come around totally lost how many of you know the Lord doesn't get too weirded out by lost people coming through a fire tunnel he's down with it so they come through they're getting rocked the guy gets healed going through and then Jessica leads them to the Lord they got born again on the other side of the fire tunnel with a cocktail yeah isn't that awesome Jehovah sneaky on that one and um but anyway if we have time and I'll land it pretty quick but however or totally trust you guys leadership on that but I would just love to basically yield to this word that I believe is going to shift something supernatural for many of us and it will look like so many different things there's something to do with that to the exact day on Valentine's day that slapping of the clock where's the God of Elijah and I can tell you in this hour this is what we need moving forward I love that Tom was talking about this and Katie as well man the kids wanting to live to be 900 that's amazing I was just in creation of the day reading the ages and I'm like I think Methuselah was the oldest Enoch was the youngest because he got took the Lord was like no I love him too much let me take him you know it says Adam 700 something or whatever Seth you know Jared all these people live in the seven eight nine hundreds and then Enoch 365 way almost three times shorter because it's in all the others I was telling my kids about this it says Adam begat Seth and then lived this many more years you know Seth begat whoever it lived this many years Enoch bore Methuselah and walked with God 300 more years I was like man that's way different than just lived the Bible when I was what didn't say he lived he walked with God closely in fellowship and may we be that company that are so potent and the Lord looks down and sees that we walked with him and um but anyway just the supernatural what they're after we need that in this hour I'm telling you you can't just debate the harvest to Jesus we need the Holy Spirit and uh and so I love that okay and real quick just wanna um honestly though what do y'all normally do are y'all normally noon or okay just whenever I don't want your guests or you know the family be like never bring him back okay oh wow okay good yeah didn't wanna be like so good okay I got plenty of time turn with me no I'm we're gonna go into like eschatology or something in times no I'll be real quick on this one um so I do wanna uh touch on this real briefly I know my son saw something in worship that really tied into the bridal realm with the Lord and intimately and he's on this I touched on it last night he's looking for a bride you know the father is looking that a bride be brought forth worthy enough for his son and it's really after it right now in this hour and uh man I got taken into this experience probably a few weeks ago that wrecked me um it was one of my lock up days and you know I could feel it building but I was I was graced to be shown into this aspect of the Lord I had not seen yet before and I believe it's really on his heart right now it was just one of those sweet intimate places where you're just like Lord what matters to you right now you know sometimes we need to minister to the Lord you love him and minister to him not what's in it for you or what you know you minister to him he's real we're created in his image and so I believe he was showing me what would minister to him in this hour what's on his heart and I saw him off in this little nook off to the right I don't know why it was off to the right but he kinda had his legs crossed so meek and humble and I could feel his emotions more than anything wrecked me I began to weep like a baby and I knew he was longing for us as the bride to come back into this nook I'm calling it the nook of knowing him really knowing him I feel like that's far too cliche at times but if you look that word up in it's depth it means first hand contact and knowledge you understand with the Lord to know him intimately sometimes where um it's the same word where Jesus said in Matthew 7 with the preachers I quoted it earlier but where they said we cast out devils in your name they came to him many the Bible says will come to me in that day and say that we cast out devils in your name prophesied in your name which we should do full on 24 7 performed many mighty exploits and the Lord says I never knew you do you guys remember that passage Matthew 7 22-23 the Lord says I never knew you that word there is the same word Mary used when she says I never knew Joseph to become pregnant with Jesus it's very intimate one on one it's in this nook it narrowed out to where just one other person could fit back there and it was very almost you could I knew as it opened up out here was the broad functioning of the kingdom the busyness the lights what we are drawn to as humans and if we're not careful I think we can get busy out here casting out devils I knew it was a tight little nook he was sitting back there so meek and mild and humble the purest humility I've ever seen that's what wrecked me man I ran out of my shirt to cry on I was just not and I had to go get a towel sorry if you ever come visit me I won't tell you what towel that was but I was just well throw it away but anyway I was just weeping so bad because I had the humility that's on him and and I could tell there was a lonely side to his heart as the bridegroom longing that the bride for him alone would come back and just be with him and love him for who he is not for what he does through you and the wow out there which he's very proud of he's looking out into it he does it anyway none of you can cast a devil out without him so it's all him but I think far too often if we're not careful where that nook branches out into the broader scope of the kingdom if we're not careful you can get caught up out here in the lights where what we more readily see in lord lord I cast out devils in your name prophesied many mighty exploits and Jesus says yeah but I never knew you meaning you never came back into that nook intimately you guys tracking with me there's a place you can walk in and full out real kingdom these guys weren't like bankers or these were preachers if they majored on mighty exploits in the name of the lord prophesying casting out devils these guys were full out preachers incredible resume for the hour but the lord said you never I never knew you intimately depart from me workers of iniquity I'm like that's gotta be a typo how can a prophesying many mighty exploits and casting out devils be a works of iniquity because they weren't done from the place of knowing him intimately Matthew 25 another company we see with the ten bridesmaids where there's five foolish five wise the simple gist of it is five didn't have enough oil in their lamps and I believe that doorway he comes in the midnight hour the bridegroom returns is the same burning lamp that can take us into that nook of knowing him but the same assessment is made when he comes in Matthew 25 to the ten bridesmaids the five it's a little different though he says I do not know you meaning he did at one point in time I do not currently know you the preachers of Matthew 7 never they never came back there but the five bridesmaids who were virgins clean spot trying to find the bridegroom these are believers going after Jesus their whole life I believe they knew him at one point in time he didn't say I never knew you to them he said I do not currently know you do you know what that means that means we can walk in intimacy and go back to the nook love Jesus deeply come out prophesy preach love the Lord intimately come out stay out a little longer lose oil don't maintain oil and then he returns and he's like I don't know you anymore I did but I do not know you now same know their deep intimate first hand contact is Bradford right yeah first hand boom not what he told me about Bradford first and I know you man like I see you first hand contact knowledge deep intimate level first hand relationship the one with the bridesmaids means to know by seeing or see by by knowing and seeing through the sea or realm and if you read later Jesus says watch therefore look see therefore you don't know the hour which I'm coming meaning you could get caught busy again neglecting oil goes down you stop going way into this nook of knowing him and then bam he comes and you can't see him anymore you know not to meant a heavy thing but in this hour I'm telling us what he's after so I saw him back there wrecked me forever in a beautiful way but he's after a bride some men we can't always relate to that cause it's like yeah but you know with the Lord mighty in battle where's the swords and you know what I'm saying and I relate to that but he's really after a bride there's no thing higher that can be attained than intimately knowing him it all goes back there Philippians 3 8 Paul writes Paul the top gunner that there really was wrote two thirds of the New Testament I believe he knew the bridal realm even more so than John the beloved if not neck and neck they're both right there John the beloved was really out there you can see it in his writings he was so possessed by love with the Lord 1 John 1 he doesn't even like let you know who writes his letters none of that he's so possessed he comes right out of the gate like him who was from the beginning the word you know and the word was with God he's just so possessed he doesn't like Paul's at least like hey a bondservant of Christ I'm an apostle sent by God like he tells you who's writing it John's like he's so caught up in Jesus you don't even know who's writing the thing he's like and if you look at it closely he says we saw him with our own eyes listen to this firsthand deep deep knowing really and don't think well I do know I don't want to do that not on a condemning thing at all but just I'm telling you can see the companies we as humans we always think we do and that's not quite always the assessment at the end the Lord in his loving kindness he wasn't brow beating it always so humble in me proud of everybody out in the light doing the things he's doing it through you but he long that somebody would come back and be with him and in this hour man he is beautiful but so anyway the seeing by knowing intimately not assuming that we that we do but Philippians 3 8 Paul writes the gist of it is everything else when compared to the infinite knowledge of infinite value sorry of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord he says basically I've summed it all up and when I compare everything up to knowing Jesus Christ my Lord and becoming one with him everything is garbage and trash it's all has no value in and of itself great great worth he's just saying compared to does that make sense to you guys compared to knowing Jesus Christ my Lord and so anyway that our life what's up buddy good to see you again man that our life would be going through that doorway of knowing him intimately right now I'm telling you it's where he's at it's where the oil is that I can see it man I'm seeing it as a constant theme while we are going with we do it man we're I love that you guys have got to go Africa all these places some of you have been with us we'd same thing we do the cities too but like we were with you ever heard of the gangs ms-13 yeah I think the Lord a door opened up for them down in Central America with us and boy I thought we were one and done on that one it got interesting but they it was powerful and so anyway the goal of the gospel that's the Lord's heart obviously but in this hour that height of intimately knowing him is gotta be all you know all the eggs in that basket right now so just want to encourage you guys he's really after it and how that would look so awesome
