Brian Guerin emphasizes the significance of the Spirit of Counsel and Might, urging believers to seek divine strategies and strength in their lives. He highlights the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit to navigate challenges and fulfill God's purposes, drawing from biblical examples like Joshua and David. Guerin stresses that the Spirit of Counsel provides unique insights for each situation, while the Spirit of Might empowers believers to act boldly in faith. He encourages the congregation to embrace these attributes of the Holy Spirit, especially in times of uncertainty and persecution, to effectively carry out God's will.

Jesus, we love you, we are everything. Be glorified tonight, I pray. Step into people's homes, come Holy Spirit, be glorified. Glorify Jesus. Your kingdom come on earth at my left ear. Do that again, come on. Revelation, ears to hear, understanding. Jesus, be glorified, show us your glory. Manifest wonders, have your way. Touch people, anoint it for your glory. In Jesus' name, amen. Also, let me read to you Isaiah 11, 1-2. The staple passage for the class amidst so many more. First session, you guys know that we're with us. I laid all the scriptural foundations for the seven spirits of God out. But Isaiah 11, 1-2 is kind of our staple passage we're pulling from to go through the six attributes of the spirit. Seventh one being the Holy Spirit himself. He's the branch, the base and the stem, the intimate place with him. The original vine, so to speak, from the menorah. Out of the stump of David's family will grow a shoot, yes, a new branch, capital B. Jesus bearing fruit from the old root. Verse 2, and the spirit of the Lord will rest on him. The spirit of wisdom and understanding. We've already gone through those two. The spirit of counsel and might. The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. So tonight we'll go over the spirit of counsel and might. Pray at the end. Because we don't want to just talk about him, we want him to possess us. We want to be absorbed and fully possessed by the spirit of God, just like Jesus. He's the perfect model. We want the spirit of the Lord to rest upon us from Isaiah 11. Two, in the fullness of. You guys know everything we've been talking about, how crucial it is in this last hour to have these flames fully burning up in. Thank you, Jesus, be glorified. So the spirit of counsel, Hebrew origin of the word counsel. I'm going Hebrew because we're pulling it from the staple passage of Isaiah 11. Counsel is in the Old and New Testament. We're going to pull it strictly from this passage. Hebrew is listen to this closely, man. I love this one. This to me is. So vital. I mean, they all are, but it's like everyone I go over, I'm like, oh, my goodness, you know, we just can't miss this. And Hebrew of counsel, the spirit of counsel. Remember, already built all of them in this manner that when you see the spirit of. It's the very substance of God and the fullness of who he is in the matter. We're not just talking about counsel. I want some understanding or wisdom. Know the spirit of meaning the Ruach breath and substance of God at its fullness in each matter. So the spirit of counsel, the spirit of might. We're going up to over tonight, but Hebrew for that is advise, design, strategize, plan, scheme. This is big. The spirit of counsel, this is what it is. Listen, and it's it's a main not byproduct. It's it's a main attribute of who the Holy Spirit is. That's so vital. The Bible went out of its way to actually highlight these flames and describe what they are and how greatly we need them lit. So much so that Jesus concludes it. Revelation through the church of Sardis, I am he who holds the seven spirits of God. And so all seven anyway. But before we dig too deep into it again, I again want to emphasize this. Some of you guys have been following us for years. No, I go out of my way to touch on this because I feel like it's just necessary and just important, significant. But I have here my notes. I first want to point out that if you pay close attention, you will notice that the majority of the attributes of the seven spirits of God are actually revelatory over ability. Or insight rather than virtue. Or illuminating and even enlightening over capability. Listen to him again. The spirit of wisdom. Understanding. Counsel. Knowledge. OK, four out of the seven are revelatory, illuminating, insight, enlightening. They they they're they're revelatory by nature. So this is key to know. And when we want to fall in love with the Holy Spirit, know him more. We need to know that he's he's most balanced when there's a more full, a more full display of a revelatory side. And that's how we have to be. We've got to be very revelatory by him. The spirit of not by in our own means, because wisdom's the wisdom of man is really empty. Honestly, without the spirit of God in it. But listen to this. Out of the four of the seven, you have these four knowledge, wisdom, understanding, counsel, all revelatory, illuminating insight. Then you have might, which we're going to touch on tonight's just as vital. The the force and power attributes of the spirit. And you'll even see this in the gifts. They're the vehicle that drive the revelatory side of him. But they're both needed. And I just want us to always be a full people and never lopsided, too heavy and focused in a line and pursuing and desiring the power side without the revelatory and vice versa. You don't want to get too top heavy in the revelatory, not flowing power. The Holy Spirit is full in all areas, but it's significant enough to notice, you know, that a heavier side is even in the revelatory side. It's very interesting. I used to not know this. You know, even in Bible college, we were taught a lot of the heavy power gifts, things like this. And you start to look like, oh, the Holy Spirit is heavily loaded with the arsenal of revelation of the revelatory side. The ammo is stacked up higher on the revelatory side. We've got to implement this in the last hour. Otherwise, you can get picked off. You can flow in gifts, anointing power, but you're lacking in the revelatory side and you can get picked off easy. Anyway, while as the other three, you have might, the fear of the Lord. These are substance. And then the Holy Spirit himself. My goodness, he's the basin stem that holds them all together. That's why you have three pairs totaling six in the basin stems, the Holy Spirit himself that holds them all together. So it's really like four and two and then the Holy Spirit holds them all together. But anyway, I have here. You will also see in first Corinthians 12, the gifts of the spirit. Because remember, we're talking about the seven spirits of God. Basically, the seven attributes of the Holy Spirit, the fullness of who he is and how God governs through all seven. The fullness of God's government is only attained through the fullness of the seven spirits of God. They're before the throne. But even when you look at the gifts of the Holy Spirit, again, they're top heavy on the revelatory side, which is beautiful. I think it's just good. Now, if the Bible wasn't that way, I wouldn't emphasize this. But the Bible is that way. So I think it's important enough to know. But listen, gifts of the spirit, right? We're in that. We do a course on that as well. It's a whole nother deal. But now, first Corinthians 12, listen to the gifts of the spirit, the gift of a word of wisdom, gift of a word of knowledge, gift of prophecy. That's revelatory gift of interpretation of tongues. Revelatory gift of discerning of spirits. Revelatory five out of the nine. Watch this. Then you get into the power side, the ability, the capability, the force, the substance. And this is the Holy Spirit to none or greater or lesser. That is just good enough to know to notice this faith. Gift of faith. That's substance. Gift of healings. That's power. Gift of miracles. Power. Substance. Tongues. It's kind of on the fence. It's a substance that then needs the revelatory to unlock it. But still, it's revelatory by nature. So you can put it however you want in the category. But the whole point is still you either have five and four or five, three, and one that overlaps in tongues. But again, it's just important enough to know the Holy Spirit. When you start watching him, who he is, how he delegates gifts in the spirits of the seven breakdown of who he is fully. He's really heavy into revelation and revelatory. It shows how valuable this is. And likewise, we must be accompanied. It reflects the same. So anyway, I have here a lot of us. I just want to preface this and again emphasize that. I'm going to move quick. But a lot of us by nature, and I'm guilty of this. I get it. Just again, I love the word, man. I love him. A lot of us by nature want to focus on the virtue of who we are or the substance of what we carry. And we should. Don't get me wrong. We definitely should. I'm going to the spirit of might next. And I love the anointing, glory. You've got to have him, intimacy. So I'm not negating. I'm just speaking balance here from the word. Or the substance of what we carry or who we can connect with in order to add more apparent capability to what we're doing. When we see clearly that heaven's design is typically fueled by the revelation that embodies wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, and so on. Listen, when these get full and these flames are burning, you'd be like, what was I doing? The substance then has something to vehicle and drive home. This is really key. I have here the revelatory realm was absolutely imperative. Hope you can hear that. All these fall under the umbrella of the revelatory realm. A running back. This is a simple layman's terms example. A running back in the game of American football. I say that because we've got what kind of nations in here. Can be full of running back. And in American football, some of you in other countries that may not know, it's the person, the main guy gets the ball and he hands it to a guy that's going to run the play. And typically they need to be fast and strong. Have power. Exert strength. Things like this. But I have here, he can be full of power and strength. But if he doesn't have wisdom, understanding, knowledge in regards to the playing schematics of the council at hand, I'm stoked to get in the council. He'll never succeed. Listen, I brought this in that we would all understand. Just some practical examples as well. A person that might inherit a large sum of money may immediately brought into the substance or ability of what wealth brings. Power, ability, whatever it may be. But if he or she lacks the wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of what to do with the money in regards to investing, saving, sowing and reaping, correctly applied budgets, all of this, they will likely be broke within a year or two. That's an earthly example, but it still applies in the spirit. So we need both. So basically that being said, before we jump back into council, I just wanted to emphasize again why we had this pocket here. And before we jump off of all the revelatory gifts, we're going back to knowledge next week, but the revelatory realm is clearly vital. That was my whole point there. But the spirit of council, back to this one. Again, Hebrew for council, advise, design, strategize, plan, scheme. Listen to this. The consultation of God. Instruction of God. This is all under the Hebrew of council. So I have here basically the strategy of heaven or the instruction of heaven. The design, plan, and scheme of heaven is what the spirit of council is. It's God's council in any given moment. You're now talking about the spirit of council, meaning God's full-blown 100% council, strategy, plan, scheme, consultation in any given moment. Thank God he made this one available. And this was one of the ones in Isaiah 11, too, that rested upon Jesus because it shows that it's one we are intended to walk fully in. And I don't want to get ahead of myself, but this is beautiful, and I'm telling you, going to be absolutely vital as the days move. We're in it already. And there's always been, obviously, but remember I was showing you guys how it's really interesting that the seven spirits of God come into greater focus around the last hour. They seem to be emphasized a little bit more. In the end time model, Zechariah 4, pop up a lot in Revelation, and we know it's what Jesus walked in. But anyway, I have here the spirit of council, some certain examples from Scripture, is where you see Joshua get marching around the walls of Jericho seven times from in order for the walls to fall down. You all remember that. These type things are what the spirit of council brings, the strategy of heaven. And this is where wisdom alone, knowledge alone, understanding alone aren't into, they don't complete the recipe. You need the wisdom, knowledge, that's why we need all of them, and I'm highlighting them all with such great emphasis. But we need wisdom, understanding, knowledge, but without the current strategy and counsel of God in the matter, you can really miss it. I like things symmetrical, but anyway. But this is where you see Joshua get marching around the walls of Jericho seven times, the counsel and strategy of God. I have here, and also you will notice that strategy, that counsel in that moment was never used again, ever. And that's what's so beautiful about God's counsel. He can use it in any given moment, and it's the greatest success you'll ever have in yielding to the full spirit of counsel, but often it'll never be implemented again. It's in it of itself for that season and that moment, and it's not cookie cutter at all. It's actually got its own thumbprint on it for that moment, just like a snowflake, there's none the same. And I love this, I am just getting ahead of myself, but what I love about the spirit of counsel is just like the nature of God, because you know what it does? It forces you and I to not lean upon our own understanding. See, the spirit of understanding is needed again, that then runs in tandem with all the other seven. But we've got to have the spirit of counsel that forces us into an intimate, driven life. Because if you're not intimate and close to the heartbeat of God, you will miss his current counsel. And I'm telling you, this right here is why many people don't succeed in kingdom matters. Or seasons, I'm getting way ahead of my nose, but I just want to go here and I want to make sure I cover everything anyway. But many people had years prior even where they were nearer to the Lord and got downloads directly from the spirit of counsel. And then dialed back from a great depth and walking with the Lord intimately. And then they try and implement what counsel told them in seasons prior, and it doesn't work like that always. You never see Joshua march around walls seven times again and blow trumpets ever. Because that counsel came in a moment from a deep, intimate place, and it was never moved in again. And he knew the voice of God, you better believe it. He'd camp out at the tent when Moses would come out of the presence of God. He loved the presence. And so I love that about these attributes of the Holy Spirit. They force you. And that's what I did from session one. If you guys remember the two olive tree model, how the only way we're going to keep that bowl full for the full government of God to stay lit all seven flames. Deep, deep basin stem intimacy. Abide in the vine. And otherwise you won't be familiar with what the current spirit of counsel is. Not to complicate it by any means, it's beautiful actually. It's very simple, but yet complex and thorough because he's unsearchable in all of his fullness. But it's simple in that he, thank God, a two-year-old, maybe three or four, but still they can worship intimately and know him, can hear God clearly. And the spirit of counsel is this. But anyway, watch this. I have here you, yep, that strategy was never used again. But also this is why people like Joshua and David were so successful. You continually see them consulting in the Lord to get the current counselor strategy of God. They're always leaning into this flame of the spirit of counsel. And they wouldn't budge until they knew what it was. There's no way they would implement their own idea on the matter, their own strategy or plan. As soon as you do, defeat's right around the corner, I can promise you. And especially in this hour, listen, there's a lot of shit. I'm getting word out of my nose, but I just want to go for it. There's a lot of shaking going on. It's beautiful, really. I was talking about this a little bit this weekend. I touched on it. But definitely things happening right now on the earth are not by any means ordained by God. But you better believe he's using them. You guys remember recently I saw the Lord turn a watch in the heavens, meaning almost speed up the times. Meaning he's controlling it all. But right after that I saw these jellyfish tentacles start to descend out of the dark realms into the earth, which also I thought more about. It speaks of these summer months, these hot months still. Because as humans, we only equate seasonally, typically, jellyfish with the hotter months when you would go into beach waters. Otherwise, you never focus on them. I mean, nobody's in the beach waters in the cold. So these warmer months leading into the fall, you're going to see an increase. And honestly, I just want to let you guys know as far as, oh, yeah, tonight I prayed more at broad again. But, again, if it lands with you prophetically in the words of knowledge and things, praise God. But I honestly think you're going to see ebbs and flows of shaking in hot pockets in the earth, meaning we're at a high and have been for a little bit. I think you'll start to see it wean some with some normalcy. But then I think you're going to see like this of increased things shaking up leading into the Lord's return, shaking and waking, shaking and waking. And all that being said, right now, while things are being shook, if you don't have your decision-making based in the spirit of counsel, that's why it won't be successful. Not because it wasn't biblical and you didn't mean for it to apply to God's will, but the spirit of counsel, you know, it applies the now strategy of God. And it can be even something you had a good intention. You thought it was a good idea. You ever heard it's a good idea but not a God idea? That's the difference. You even had the right heart. You meant for it to be applied for kingdom, to have fruit, this, that, and the other. But right now in this time and moving forward, if it's not made out of the spirit of counsel, yeah, I'm really getting ahead of myself. But anyway, if it's not made in the spirit of counsel, shaking will pull the rug out from under it pretty quick and you'll know. And so that's all. For instance, if Joshua was like, hey, that worked good. Shoot, got that one. Next town, let's go to, walk around it seven times, blow the trumpets, and then all of a sudden the walls don't come down and the enemies start taking them out from over the wall. You know what I mean? It only works in the current strategy and plan of God. It's beautiful. The consultation of God. And that's why people like David, Joshua, super successful. Every corner you see them turn, they go back. God, they inquire of, consult with God to get the current counsel. The spirit of counsel is game changer. It is literally the playbook of heaven. The divine blueprint strategy in any given moment, any given season, shaking or not. That's why it's beautiful because if it's birthed out of the spirit of counsel, it can't be shook. It doesn't play by the world's rules at all. It's as stable as the most stout and solid pillar you ever saw, while everything's being shook. The spirit of counsel is like just rock solid, won't move, because God spoke it. And some people, I'm telling you, there's going to be a lot of confusion because people are going to be like, man, I'm godly, I love the Lord, I live my life according to biblical principles, and I'm doing this and it's not working. And God's sitting back there watching that flame on the menorah of counsel, just almost dim, if not even lit at all, and they're not getting their decision-making from the counsel and strategy of God, and that's why it's going to be shook. I'm telling you, that's how Jesus did. Only what he saw the Father doing, said only what he heard him saying. He operated through the fullness of the counsel of God, the seven spirits, completion, all of them. And I love this. Listen, Isaiah 9-6. For a child is born to us, talking about Jesus, a son given to us. Watch this. The government. See, I was saying, you'll see it connected even with, anyway. The government will rest on his shoulders, spirit of counsel and might together. Watch right here. Isaiah 9-6, if you're taking notes, you can read it later. For a child is born unto us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders, and he will be called wonderful counselor, mighty God. Listen to this first. You see counsel, the counselor side of him, and might and power. And I'm jumping to spirit of might in a second. These are the two branches coupled together in this one. The spirit of counsel and might. Might is the vehicle that drives counsel home, and they're both needed. But isn't that ironic? Connected to God, the government of the kingdom. The first two names he's given are wonderful counselor, counsel, and might, mighty God. See, the government of God. And man, you want to talk about the apostolic and true apostles and prophets. No true apostolic will ever function and take root and build in a kingdom manner without the spirit of counsel. It's not going to happen. The apostolic builds. And wisdom, of course, you guys remember one of the greatest things about wisdom is it builds. But if you're not, and there's a lot of people that will have apostolic mentalities and see it through certain scriptural lenses, and it's beautiful. But then again, there's not deep intimacy tied into fueling the lamp of counsel. It won't be built right. And it may be built off of an old model that was a counsel a generation prior, a counsel from who taught or discipled a certain way. And it's like, yeah, no, we march around the wall seven times, but God's not currently saying that. It's like, why didn't it work? You understand this is really big. And the spirit of the strategy of God, the counsel of God is amazing. Anyway, another beautiful example of this is in 2 Samuel chapter 5, verse 17 through 25. And I want to pray at the end, really, and I want to raise your expectancy because I want an increase of it as well, especially in the Daniel fast. Many of us, if you're not the same, whatever, whatever God's got, everybody's in different seasons. I get that. But I want to pray for an increase of the spirit of counsel, a sharp edge, man. And I believe God's going to start unlocking strategies from heaven. New wine skins. You see, old wine doesn't pour out into the new counsel of God. It won't work. It doesn't work. And this is where a lot of times believers get frustrated and start rebuking the devil, binding the enemy. And the devil's like nowhere around. The Lord's like, that's not my current counsel. Who are you rebuking? And the enemy's like, you know what I'm saying? The enemy's not like, man, you're doing my work for me. You're not leaning in through deep intimacy to have the bowl full, to have the olive oil in the basin stem for all seven flames to be burning so bright where you walk in. And remember, too, the spirit of understanding and counsel, the spirit of keeps, it's an ongoing thing. It doesn't come and go. It's not a gift for a moment. It's a spirit of, it's him. It's the substance of him. And that's why we want to walk in at all times. But I'm really believing for that, that we'd have a fresh baptism tonight. We want to pray like we do every class on the matter. But the spirit of counsel to hit us and new strategies, unlock revelation. Like, oh, okay, got it. I need to move. Here we go. Watch this second Samuel 5, verses 17 through 25. Just enjoy. Hope you guys are in your PJs and relaxed and eating whatever. Jesus, we love you. Watch this. When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. David was our master. He flowed in the spirit of counsel. But watch this. But David heard of it, went down to the stronghold. Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the valley of Rephaim, and David inquired of the Lord. See, he knew better. He's like, man, I know God, and I know he always knows best, and he's always got a plan. He's always got a strategy, and his strategy is flawless. There's victory 100% of the time in his counsel. Let me get God's consultation. Let me get God's strategy, God's plan. We always win this way. As soon as we lean upon ourself, see, David can still say, I know it's God's will to destroy the Philistines. I know what we'll do. I'll throw a javelin real well. Let's all get javelins. I'm super accurate. And God sits back there going, nope, not my strategy, whatever it may be. But watch this. David heard of it immediately. It says he inquired of the Lord. He went to get consultation from God, the spirit of counsel. And listen, we're in a new covenant, baptized with the Holy Spirit. That's why praying in tongues is massive. Listen, stay so full, so possessed, so baptized at all times with the Holy Spirit. You can start to tell when your tank gets low. Stay full. Stay full. Start to cut off things that don't matter. Stay full of the Holy Spirit. But anyway, David inquired of the Lord, shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand? And the Lord said to David, go up, for I'll certainly give the Philistines into your hand. David's like, sweet, that's the counsel. David came to Belperazim, and David defeated them there. And he said, the Lord has broken through my enemies before me like a breaking flood. Therefore, the name of that place is called Belperazim. Sweet. The Lord was general at that time, and sometimes he will be. Sometimes the Lord will be very specific. Sometimes the Lord will tell Moses, hit the rock, and water will come out so you can drink. Sometimes he'll say, speak to the rock, and he'll watch you. If you hit it a second time, it can cost you the promised land. That's the other thing. Accountability heightens the further and deeper you walk with the Lord. He entrusts more to you, but more accountability comes with it. And so obedience is really key, following his strategy, his counsel. And anyway, but watch this. The Lord has broken through my enemies, da-da-da-da-da. And the Philistines left their idols there. David and his men carried them away. Very next verse. And the Philistines came up yet again, spread out in the valley of Rephaim. And David inquired of the Lord. You see, many of us, and I've been guilty of this plenty. I know we can all relate. You're thinking, like, listen, back in 18. Now the Philistines had come out, spread out in the valley of Rephaim. He inquired of the Lord. The Lord said, yep, go up, you'll defeat them. So he defeats them in the same valley. They regroup, come back. Oh, look, they spread out in the same valley of Rephaim. David and many of us could have been like, okay, same valley. Already asked the Lord. We won last time. Same valley, same people. We'll win again. Let's just go up, attack them. Victory is ours. Now David knew better. He says, nope. This is a different instance, circumstance, a need, the strategy of God. And listen, may we become more and more people that don't care. Listen, lean not upon your own understanding. Trust God in all your ways. Proverbs, you know, inquire everything, but run everything by him first, and you'll succeed in everything you do. But we want to be people that are so leaning upon him in everything. And this is how you'll walk victoriously. But basically same scenario. But David knew better. He goes, he says, David inquired of the Lord. He said, you shall not. Oh, and the Lord said. This time his strategy totally changed. You've got the same enemy, same valley that we just won in. You know what I mean? It's kind of like a sport game, and it's like they came to our home court. We beat them last time. We'll beat them again home court. Let's do what we did last time. But David knew better. He says, no, there's a strategy. And I'm going to go deeper here in a second. We may run over tonight, sorry if we do. But I just don't want to lose the meat of it or whatever. But there's prophetic threads that sew into why God does it and when. And sometimes you don't always know it in the moment, but there's a message he's painting. There's a puzzle he's putting together for your whole image of destiny later on. And all this matters. He's very calculated. David inquires of the Lord, says, you shall not go up this time. Same passage. We're in the same, not only the same chapter, but the same few verses of the last passage of chapter five, 2 Samuel. And God's counsel changes on the dine. That's another thing you've got to know about the Lord. His strategy, the spirit of counsel, will change on the dine. He always is this way. And he's got prophetic implications in it. He's got all wisdom, all knowing, all power in it. And his way is always right, obviously. But he says, you shall not go up. Go around to their rear. And come against them opposite the balsam trees or mulberry trees. Whatever version. And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then rouse yourself. For then the Lord has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines. See, then. And a lot of times God will watch that to see how pliable and yielded you really are. Just wait. Have faith in me. They may look like they're getting even closer. But there's trust there. And he'll do this even to watch. Will you take Isaac all the way up to where you have the knife in the air? And then I'll put the ram in the thicket. And he'll watch. He says, then once you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then rouse yourself. For I've given them to you. Not a moment sooner. And this is why this revelatory time is interesting. The hearing. It's got to be pristine. We must have years to hear. Because when you hear obscurely, you obey obscurely. If you can't hear God that clearly, you can't obey him that specifically. You see, David heard so clearly from God. Go around the rear. Wait. Get around by the balsam trees when you hear the sound of marching. I mean, there was very specific details. The first one, yep, go up. You got them. And God does both. Okay, so we need to realize that about him, too. He can change on the dime and he'll do both. Yep, no instructions in the first one. Yep, just go up. You got them. He defeats him a second time. Very specific details in the same situation. And he'll watch to see how pliable and yielded you are. And if you don't follow the counsel, you will lose. That happens as well. And every time they lose, you see they did not consult, inquire of the Lord. They didn't get the current counsel. If you really love me, you'll obey my commands. See, obedience is inseparable from true love. They go hand-in-hand. And David had a heart after God's own heart. That's why he was so successful at this. Plenty of mistakes, of course, like we all have had. But he had a heart after God. He's like, I don't care. Ain't no pride here. I know we just beat him in that same valley. But, nope, I got a heart after God. God, what do you want us to do? You know, what if the Lord said, nope, I won't give him to you. Back out totally. Then he's got to deal with all his men going, we just beat him in the same valley. Like, are you getting soft on us, you know? But he didn't care. It's like, you don't care. You want to please him. And more and more, I want to encourage you guys that we be a people that just whatever you want, whenever, however. In ministry, you've got to learn this. You just, whatever people think, it's popular or not, just please him. Just whatever he wants, however he wants, his counsel. But we've got to have clear hearing to hear it. So anyway. But watch this. So they went around back. And David did as the Lord commanded him. Jackpot. Struck down the Philistines from Geba to Gezer. Gezer. Anyway, it's funny. But you see, that's a beautiful passage and depiction of the spirit of counsel and how it can not only change on the dime, but how great we need it. And if you want to obey in life, we really need this. And listen, it doesn't mean that you have to go fast and pray for seven days to get it. But it can be that too. See, it can be both. But all I'm trying to emphasize too is we can walk in a spirit of counsel. The Holy Spirit can give you deep, precise counsel in any given moment as well. That's the strategy of God, and it's beautiful. So I think we're going to be good. I'm going to pick it up a little bit. In Genesis 31, read it when you have a chance. Jacob is another. These are just examples of the spirit of counsel that are beautiful, and usually they've never been done before and never happen again. That's what's interesting, and that's what I want to see more and more. Don't get me wrong. There are certain models in a scriptural infrastructure that should be implemented for sure. The gospel, all that. But also, in walking out new wineskins and building according to God's plan, I think you're going to start seeing stuff that's off the wall in your and my eyes. Things that just don't make sense, but then you're going to watch wind hit it because God's in it in His current counsel. Whereas things that may have worked in the past, heaven's hand lifted off of because He's not telling you, wait for the marching in the mulberry trees anymore. He's not saying, walk around seven times. In these times of shaking, that's when the men and boys are going to separate, and women and girls, for all you ladies in here, you know what I mean, though. But they're going to separate because then you start to see who really walks in a deep, intimate way that knows Him, those sheep that know His voice, and they come from the pure counsel. And it's not so we can be like, told you so. I knew better. You're weak. Not that at all. Just so He can have glory in the earth and we can fall more in love with Him. That's the only reason. But you'll start to see when things are shaking like we're seeing now. And again, I think you're going to see like ebbs and flows of, oh, a little bit more normalcy. And then, whoa, and then a spike. And not trying to decree a thing, but you can see from some revelations, but also God's good. He gives, you know, grace and windows to prepare, but also Matthew 24, and the word's clear where things are leading up to His return. And it's really His goodness, the pressure. Hopefully I'll remember to share the vision recently I had with you guys. I think it's beautiful. It's really just incredible. It's just setting up the bride to marry Him. That's all that's really happening. The most important thing, I'll say that. Salvation, for sure. But why are we trying to get saved? To be ever made into His image to then marry Him. That's the highest prize this whole thing is about. That's why I love evangelism. Evangelists get souls. We're all about it. But then once they cross the threshold of salvation, what do you do? They're just, you know what I mean? No, go deep. Make disciples of all nations. Go deep in the Lord to where you begin to take on His reflection. The body is built to reflect Him, to marry Him. And then obviously sons and daughters of the Father and this whole union to reign with Him in eternity. But anyway, Genesis 31, Jacob is given the strategy of God or the counsel of God and how to increase his flocks and herds. Listen to me. Financial breakthrough. The counsel of God touches everything. Is it 3 John? One of the epistles where it says, he writes that, you know, I desire that all of you be a prosper in all things. Prosperity, abundance in all things. This is God's desire in heart for you. This is the word of God. Be in good health, walk in wholeness and healing. Even as your soul prospers, your emotional realm. So healthy physically, healthy emotionally, stable and prospering in all things. Well, the Holy Spirit of counsel will jump in the mix of all of those and light them up for God's glory. You know, light them up in a good way. And that's what happened with Jacob. You couldn't stop him. Laman would try and trap him and this and the other. And he goes into a dream. Read it when you get a chance. Genesis 31. An angel shows him in a dream. That, um, how to increase his flocks and herds through the striped spotted and modeled goats. Modeled is basically like a paint or smears and not quite spotted, but smears and, um, different colors. But you all remember when he was with Laman for, uh, double the seven years of Rachel and Leah and all this, he got the council of God, the current council, even though he got oppressed, how to, you know, um, thrive in abundance anyway from the spirit of counsel, the pillar that just comes right in the middle of shaking. You can try and shake. The true bride is not going to happen because they always have the council of God. The strategy of heaven is just not going to work. And they adhere to it. And then it's the pillar stabilized and everything else can get shook, but that won't move. It'll actually increase. It'll actually have guy to shaking. So silver and gold from nations will come to you. My people. That's what he does. Shaking stabilizes and elevates God's people. That are truly in him. So we kind of welcome it. You, you, you, you hate it for anybody, but it's like you should've got born again. You should be falling in love with Jesus, you know? And, uh, cause you're just on the wrong side of the fence. Everything's shaking. That's outside of him. Uh, John chapter nine, Jesus spits on the ground and makes mud for the blind man's eyes. Then he sends them to a pull of Sloan meaning set to wash, to be healed. Right? Never again, does Jesus do it that way. Mark eight. You see Jesus now spit directly into a blind man's eyes, then lay hands on him to be healed, puts his fingers in deaf ears, then spits and touches a tongue. There's even in, in the display of power and the gifts of the spirit, you see strategies and they change. Listen, I'll, I'll feel it. And many of you know what I mean, even in ministry lines and praying and, and in guidance of the spirit and how to prophesy, but no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I have prophetic depth in a message of who I am and revelation to the people following you, the generation around you and following of why you go around seven times, then blow a trumpet and all the prophetic tie-in in a soul full. man. God's incredible, obviously great is the ball altogether. Lovely. And everything he does is mega calculated, pointed prophetic full of revelation, success and everything in between. And so that, But this is another real important key of why we need to operate in the spirit of counsel because there's revelation in it to yourself that shows you more to those around you and generations following and he always does that. I have here Moses and Joshua, for instance, followed by Elijah and Elisha. I touched on some of this in I think the spirit of wisdom and hidden riches. Sorry, wisdom and divine favor. The school of hidden riches, I forget. But either way, you see this prophetic message sewn into the method or the strategy or plan with Moses to Joshua and Elijah to Elisha. And I'll sum it up fast. But if you look at all of the word of God, these are the only four people, two both with predecessors, that all by God's counsel, God's perfect strategy and plan had to cross bodies of water supernaturally to implement God's plan. They all were water crossers. And this was very calculated by heaven. It had that prophetic golden thread sewn right through it. If they didn't do it just that way, we generations following and even before them in that current day wouldn't have seen who God is, why. Show me your glory that I may know your ways. In the manifestation, in the method is the message. He's very revelatory and they knew it's gotta be done this way. And don't ever get it twisted. God's very specific. Sometimes he's broad and general. Till you start with David, yep, go attack him. But then he'll shift on the dime and say, look, no, go around behind him. Wait for a marching sound. Angelic realm, I believe, triggered in the trees. And so he can also be very specific, detailed, orderly. And it's real key that we follow in that manner. But you see Moses crossed the Red Sea supernaturally. And then Joshua crossed the Jordan supernaturally, right? They're water crossers. Elijah, listen, before he passes, I'm gonna go through it real fast. But if you watch him, when he knows he's about to be caught up to the Lord, and Moses and Elijah are the two models that come back to Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, come back again before the Lord's return, because the spirit of Elijah came on John the Baptist, coming again, and Moses as well. I'll read it to you here in a second. Many people teach Enoch, but it just doesn't line up scripturally. Their only defense behind that, and if you believe that way, more power to you, go for it. I don't mind. I just would maybe ask the Lord to pray into it, because usually the only point of defense on that is because Enoch got caught up, and so did Elijah. And so they're the ones that, but it's like, then why didn't Moses and Elijah come back so real that Peter's trying to make tense? And they were the ones also that popped open the Lord's return, again, with the spirit of Elijah coming. And then you see a crystal clear resume with these two witnesses in Revelation 11. But anyway, teach his own, not trying to get in a biblical debate, but just pray about it. Oh, also this is key. Moses comes right up to the Jordan, passes the baton to Joshua, which you and I are a Joshua-Elisha type depiction of crossing over when the Lord returns into the heavenly realm and reigning with him. Whereas Moses and Elijah were that forerunning company that show up again in Revelation when? Right before the Lord's return, which speaks of a crossing over. They had to cross these bodies of water that were these major transition points. There were crossover prophets. But what's funny is you watch Elijah, so Moses, we all know, he came out of the Egypt with the people of God crossing the Red Sea, had to cross water. There were crossover prophets. Comes up to the Jordan. Let's call my notebook. I'll put it on top of here so you can see it. Let's call this the Jordan River. The Siderico's over here. Red Sea's way back over here. Okay. Moses comes all the way up. He's like, wow, Promised Land looks amazing, but he can't cross. We all know the story. Passes the baton to Joshua here. Okay. Water splits. Joshua crosses over. Here's Jericho. His first triumphant, really, victory was through Jericho. The seven walls, angel of the Lord of hosts, the first commissioning, all that. So Elijah, if you watch closely, he knows he's about to get caught up. And we all get hung up on how he's trying to avoid and see if Elisha will follow him all the way to the point where he's getting caught up. And we should. There's a lot of depth there in Revelation. But it's ironic enough. He keeps telling Elisha, look, stay here. I've got to go further. I've got to go further. Stay here. I've got to Bethel. I've got to go to Jericho. And Elisha's like, ain't happening. I'm staying with you to the end. And anyway, so Elijah comes all the way back. Literally keeps trying to lose Elisha. Not really, but just seeing where his heart was at. And he crosses, slaps supernaturally, crosses the Jordan. Read it when you have time. And gets back on the side. Here's Jericho. Gets back on the side where Moses left off. Gets caught up to heaven. Right here where Moses brought the people to. Moses and Elijah, you're gonna see so many similarities and they're like a dual model in time company to forerun the Lord's return. Why? I don't mean to give us a whole nother deal, but it should tell us a lot. There's gonna be a supernatural provision greatly needed upon the body. Moses and Elijah were the top two generals in knowing supernatural provision more than anybody. In this last hour, a lot of it has to do with the mark of the beast. And hearing the Lord clearly and walking in manna ravens. I mean, they knew by the brook. And the prophesy dries up. Now go to the widow. They knew the voice of God. Anyway, he comes over here. Gets caught up chariots and horses and chariots of fire. Gets caught up in a whirlwind. Mantle drops. Very first thing, Elijah picks up his mantle where Moses left off. And just like Joshua, he slaps the water, crosses over. Okay, so the Moses and Elijah, where I'm getting at, you could see that golden thread of revelation sewn in. I'm like, why did Elijah trail all the way back to the other side again? Get caught up, pass his mantle there. The same place, more or less, Moses passed the baton to Joshua. All that being said, and then they too are the models that show up in Revelation 11. I'll read it to you. I know I'm going quick, but you guys have the archive. They too are the model that forerun right before the Lord's return. Again, and that's the crossing over the prophetic promised land where we come in. And watch this, I'll start in verse four through 18. I'll read just a little bit. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of all the earth. Remember, we went over that. And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. They have the power to shut the sky that no rain fall during the days of their prophesying. That's Elijah. He's the only prophet in all of the word that would prophesy and shut the heavens. Then prophesy and open them. He could prophesy drought and rains, which we know we all have the ability by the spirit, but from a scriptural lens, that's the Elijah, the spirit of Elijah. Yeah, they have the power to shut the sky that no rain may fall during the days of the prophesying. And listen to this, they have power over the waters to turn them into blood as Moses. He's the only one that ever did that. And to strike the earth with every kind of plague, Moses. As often as they desire. Look, these are gunner prophets in the last hour. This is real too. This isn't some figurative dragon in the heavens. This is, you know, cause there's a lot of revelatory figurative parallels and parables in revelation. This is very literal. Two witnesses that forerun the Lord's return. And when they finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them. Their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom in Egypt, where the Lord was crucified for three and a half days. Some for the people, tribes and languages, nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry exchange presents because the two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. They wouldn't even bury them. They actually wanted to see them as trophies dead, exchanging gifts and rejoicing over them being dead because they were a torment to them. And you'll see this more and more as the church to those that are lost. There's gonna be a real, I'm just being straight up with you guys, this is biblical, but there's gonna be a real clear divide. It's gonna become real, real light, full of glory, power, like we've never seen on the body. The knowledge of God's glory is gonna cover the earth as the waters do the sea. And those that just get steeped deep, deep in darkness and deception and God's goodness will be poured out through seals and the prophetic operations as such that their hearts would turn back to him. But many will continue to refuse and grow colder and harder. And God's gonna keep wooing through pressure. The pressure will purify the bride, prepare her for Jesus. And the pressure is intended for the lost to turn to the Lord, but many will still reject the Lord. And that's why they'll look at us as almost a tormenting factor when it's really God's goodness. He loves humanity and it's displayed in many different facets, but it's always perfect love. But anyway, listen to this. But after the three and a half days, a breath of life from God entered them. And they stood up on their feet and great fear fell on those who saw them. They ain't passing out gifts no more. Listen, God and his kingdom and his people always win. You persecute them, you know, they win. Anyway, then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, come up here. They went up to heaven in a cloud. Have you ever heard that before? Three and a half days, they rise again. Okay, caught up in a cloud. They basically resemble the resurrection of the Lord. And at that hour, there was a great earthquake and a 10th of the city fell. 7,000 people were killed in the earthquake. The rest were terrified, gave glory to God under heaven. The second was passed. Behold, the third was soon to come. Right here, now watch this. The two witnesses, the two Moses Elijah type models, they fulfill their assignment, get caught up and watch this very next verse. Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet and there were loud voices in heaven saying, the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ. He shall reign forever and ever. The 24 elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worship God saying, we give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign. The nations raged, but your wrath came in the time for the dead to be judged and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, sorry, I just feel presence, man, I don't know what. And thus who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth. Then God's temple in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and earthquake and heavy hail. The nations raged, but your wrath came in the time for the dead to be judged and for the rewarding of your servants, the prophets, the saints. All that's triggered right after these crossover prophets check out. And so all the way from the whole point of where I'm getting at is God's beautiful design is always tied into that spirit of counsel. That perfect strategy of heaven is way deeper than we often see or know. And Elijah knew it, he's like, no, I gotta go back to this location and get caught up to pass the baton. And this Elijah and Moses, these models, they implemented way before time, how it would come back again as though it were in the days of Noah and be similar, which to me is gonna be beautiful. This isn't a doom and gloom thing at all. I always love to emphasize that because I think sometimes we've been churched the wrong way through the word. It's gonna be the greatest hour. We were living in like the greatest hour, but all that being said, you see these revelatory golden threads sewn into his divine strategy always, which you need for yourself, for those around you watching in generations to come, they need to realize like, oh, wow, this is what God was saying and this is what he was really doing. He's got hidden messages in even his strategies, in his counsel that speaks so much. And Jesus would always go to the pull of Siloam because it means sent. I'm sending you in a company, I'm washing eyes to see, to trigger a new apostolic move. I mean, there's always revelation in what he does and it's beautiful. So I wanna encourage you guys and then I'm gonna start moving. So I have here the spirit of counsel is vital because you are now dealing with the precise strategy of heaven in any given moment. It still takes wisdom and understanding and knowledge, but counsel applied takes it to a whole new level. And in this last hour, we're going to need the bridal company operating under the spirit of counsel like never before. Listen, there are new wineskins the Lord is creating right now in order to pour new wine into that can only be built by the spirit of counsel. I came across that recently in the gospels and it really, I just camped there. I could feel it. The Lord's like, yep, I'm looking for new wineskins. I'm pouring out new, the old wineskins aren't gonna work. I need new ones. I need people tapping into the spirit of counsel. My strategy so it can hold this new wine because the old strategies I'm not doing seven times around the walls of Jericho right now. And I'm telling you, this is where many will get just be beating their heads up against the wall. Like, why isn't this working? You know, somebody else, I did it a season before. I see this other person doing it and it's not their current counselor strategy by heaven. I have here, yep, the now strategy in plan of heaven is the spirit of counsel is vital right now that we build according to the exact blueprint of heaven. Listen to this. I hope this lands with you. Don't worry about if so-and-so said this or who's who is doing this or this notable voice doesn't see it that way. Realize they are likely either walking in their specific grace and assignment how they need to do it for the Lord or they're also may not be in the current counsel of God either and that's okay. Let's hope they're just in their assignment what grace they have, which is often the case. But you do what the Lord is telling you to do and how to do it. Obviously under the parameter of biblical standards. So I don't ever implement anything outside of the word but you know what I'm saying? In the word, you see like, whoa, seven times around Jericho, Trump is being blown. Wait, go just straight up and attack him, you'll win. Wait, mulberry trees, like spitting in mud and then spitting directly in the eyes. Like you see his counsel change and it's beautiful because by default, if you wanna flow in this, gotta stay intimate. You've gotta consult in him, inquire of the Lord. You don't know what it is, it can change any moment. And to me that's, as a people, a true bride, we should be comforted in that. Your comfort is found there. You don't wanna know what it is for all time because it's never gonna be cookie cutter. Keeps things interesting too and fun and it's never predictable and it's relational. You know, God's not like some concession machine. If you always push B6, this is gonna come out but it doesn't work that way, it's very fluid. He's a river, not a pond or a lake, he's moving water. The pillar of cloud never sits, sat still. Pillar of fire is moving. We've gotta follow him. Counsel takes the ever so needed wisdom, understanding and knowledge at hand and applies it into heaven's perfect strategy. Yeah, I already touched on this but if you follow heaven, you'll notice not only in scripture but in life, his strategies can change on the dime. They can change daily, they can change monthly, even annually and I love this because it keeps us dependent upon him through intimacy. If we are not careful, we can get stuck in certain methods that have worked in prior seasons, not knowing that the spirit of counsel is moving in a new strategy for this hour and miss the fullness of what God is doing. Please hear that and I can totally relate and you know, because as humans, if we start to find a rhythm of something that works, it's like if it isn't broke, don't fix it but the spirit of counsel may have moved on and I wanna encourage some of you guys. I've seen it too where ministers, minister A may truly like David inquire of the Lord and get the counsel of God on something, get God's strategy and it's specific to this assignment or this person and so they begin to implement it and there's wind, favor, grace, success on it and then minister B may look over and be like, ah, minister A is doing something this way and it's working. Listen to me, I've seen this and we don't wanna be this way. Some stuff's just practical and I get all that but I'm trying to drive us to a deep, intimate place of him walking the spirit of counsel and you don't care what people are saying, not out of any consideration but you wanna obey him. Minister B is like, oh, minister A is doing this, there's wind on it, it's working, let me implement it and it wasn't now counseled by the spirit to them specifically only to this person. You never saw David say, hey man, wow, I noticed Joshua marched around the wall seven times, blew a trumpet, that worked, let's do that boys. Nah, because when he went to God, God never gave him that counsel but I've seen this happen, if we're not careful, people will try and recreate and implement, reproduce where somebody's operating truly under the counsel of God and they'll throw their sail up on their sailboat so to speak and no wind comes and it doesn't go anywhere. It doesn't succeed, the walls don't fall down and that's a bad place to be because you're like, man, minister A, it works, why? You know, and that's the whole thing. We gotta honor, you don't give it a finger pointing, definitely not some competitive nonsense but you wanna hear the Lord and also be mindful, just know this, understand this, that sometimes people can be very dogmatic and really heard counsel of God for them and really have a passion because they are to walk in that grace for their assignment. I was talking to a minister friend recently about this and we saw two different viewpoints on a topic that were polar opposites and both were very anointed, fruitful, I honor them both but you saw one kind of, you know, take a passionate stance on something and they should because that's the grace and anointing and the counsel they're under but also, you know, you never want to overimpose and think this is how everybody should do it either because it doesn't work that way, you know, and so I just want us to be a full understanding people and realize like, oh yeah, they may be operating under the blueprint God gave them, the strategy and counsel they have and there's wind in that sail now and it's working and being understanding and lenient to one to another and realize with the body, some people are hands, some are feet and, but individually, what we want to do is make sure we walk in the spirit of counsel for us and not think that now it works for us and you should be doing it this way because that same other person may try it and not work because it's not God's counsel for them and it's beautiful because it should keep us all dependent and relying upon him through intimacy. I have here, without the spirit of counsel, you cannot pick up on these shifts in his planning and or strategizing for the now season that he's in but the spirit of counsel keeps you right smack in the middle of the how to, when and why and all that. 818, Deuteronomy 818. God may give us the spirit of the power to get wealth. That's Deuteronomy 818, I love that one. Isaiah 818's another beautiful one. I believe that says where the signs and wonders will flow and I think within your offspring but Deuteronomy 818, that God give us counsel in the power to get wealth, Jesus name. Anyway, the spirit of might, I'm gonna touch on quickly and I want to pray for both at the end that the Lord will come upon us. Might, it shouldn't be as long but still just as vital. None of these I see more important than any other but we need them all, it's the Holy Spirit. Spirit of might, Hebrew of that is strength, courage and to triumph. Definition, power, ability, capacity, force, substance. You will most always see substance, a substance, spirit, a company, revelatory spirit. You often see a substance gift joined together with a revelatory gift, the Holy Spirit is beautiful like this, God's creative nature is so full this way. You often see words of knowledge accompany gifts of healing. I have a word of knowledge, somebody's lower back needs healing and then it hits them, illuminates faith so the doorway for healing opens up by faith and then the power, the gift of healing comes, bam, healing. Well, the spirit of might helps drive a lot of this council for sure, they are the branch together, they are the couple and wonderful counselor, mighty God. Isn't that interesting, the first two, wonderful counselor, mighty God, meaning the might is the vehicle that drives the council and they're beautiful together in full. But anyway, I have here, yeah, the spirit of might brings about the substance, force, ability, power and capacity to apply the council or God's strategy and this is gonna be big, you see with Joshua, he needed this more than just about anybody in scripture, I'll read it to you quick. Joshua chapter one, if you're taking notes, verses six through nine, watch this three times. Verses six through nine, be strong and courageous for you shall cause this people to inherit the land. This is the Lord talking to Joshua right out of the gate, verse six, be strong and courageous. Remember, strength and courage, this is the Hebrew breakdown of might. It's definitely power as well, like the display of the nature of God's creative power, healing power, miraculous power for sure but also the spirit of might brings about this tenacious courage and strength and boldness that's gonna be ever needed and increasing upon the body, you will see it. This Joshua and Elisha company that we prophetically are, right? To carry over from where Moses and Elijah take us up to into that promised land with the Lord, that wedding feast, the reigning and ruling with him on the earth. But watch this, verse six, be strong and courageous. Strength and courage is one of the Hebrew, is a couple of the Hebrew breakdowns of this spirit of might and what it brings. It's supernatural, it's God's might, it's the spirit of the substance of God in the fullness of might and it'll come upon people, man. It's incredible and I wanna encourage some of you that sometimes you feel timid or I don't know how I'll be in the moment or in trying times, this spirit of might will come and it's supernatural and we can walk in it at all times. It's not arrogance at all, it's actually rest fully upon the humble and those that are full of humility. But it's a supernatural might, strength, courage, boldness that's so opposite timidity and it's God. But watch this, be strong and courageous for you shall cause people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. And who else needed it more than Joshua? He went into conquering. Moses was more like purging the people in the wilderness. That's why he had a burning fire encounter whereas Joshua had an angel with a sword encounter because he's now gonna take the sword and conquer. So he needed boldness and courage which we're gonna need in this hour but Moses was more, once he got away from Pharaoh, it's like wilderness, dying, purging, going around mountains. Be strong and courageous for you shall cause the people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Very next verse, only be strong and very courageous. Be careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left that you may have good success wherever you go. Look, if you want, this is a side note but if you want good success wherever you go, do not turn from the word of God and all that he's commanded you, the spirit of counsel to the right or the left. And then very next verse, it says it again. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth. You shall meditate on it day and night. Meditate on the word day and night so that you may be careful to do according to all that's written in it for then you will make your way prosperous and you will have good success. There's two major keys on success. Deep meditation on the word of God, his presence and voice and never turn to the right or left of any of them. The word, his now voice and presence and meditate, choose, stay possessed by these dynamics and never turn to the right or left of them. Stay in yield and obedience to them always and you'll prosper everywhere you go. You'll have good success. But let's move on. Have I not commanded you a third time? Just in a few verses, be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened. Do not be dismayed. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. You see, a spirit of might obliterates fear and being afraid and timid, which not all you'll need in the face of persecution but also sometimes obeying the Lord. You can have revelation on a major faith step but if you have a spirit of might and boldness and courage to step out in it, you'll never step out in it. And many people fail because of the fear of failure. Fear, there's no spirit of might to step out in it. But I don't know if it'll work. I'm scared of failing or whatever it is but you have revelation, God spoke to you but we haven't fueled enough the flame of the spirit of might through intimacy to step out and be bold. And God knew what Joshua was coming into. He said to tell him three times. Look, be strong and courageous. The spirit of might does this. We're gonna pray for it. Yeah, I'll skip that. Yeah, I'll start to land it here in a second. We will need the spirit of might, sorry, in this last hour like never before to, as persecution will be at an all time high. Again, you guys know me. I'm not a doom and gloom guy at all. I'm a Bible guy. I love the word and it's real clear. Just jump in and read it, you know, without any preconceived ideas and you'll see where it's gonna go. It's gonna actually be the glorious day of the church I ever saw in him shining in the earth. But a spirit of might for sure implements power, the creativity of God, miracles, healings, supernatural power of God, but also there's a spirit of might that in the Hebrew is strength, courage, to triumph, power, ability, capacity, force. And the spirit of might on the church is also gonna be just as full and dynamic and really unshakable. And it's really comes from God, meaning I don't care how much earthly might, whatever camps and voices think they have, when you butt up against the spirit, God's might is not even close. You're talking about a house cat up against a lion. Don't stand a chance. That's why the spirit world's gonna have to crank it up a notch to match, because now you've got God's spirit of might in and through the church that's yielded. There's no match at all ever. You can talk a big game, but you start coming up against, I'm getting ahead of myself, but listen, the same spirit of might, you saw it all throughout come in and through people in moments for assignments through the Old Testament, but in the new covenant, the Bible says we have a better covenant. The Holy Spirit, Jesus was the model, can rest, abide, and reside in and through us, meaning continual, not just come and go, not rest and lift. But the same spirit of might was upon Gideon. Remember, mighty man of valor. The angel saw him with the spirit of might on him, and he's yielded in the natural. That's another thing that's beautiful by faith. We can start to yield into, full of God through intimacy, always number one, but start to yield into this well that has might in it, which is the Holy Spirit, and not yield yourself to fear. Fear is so detrimental, and I'm traveling and sensing it more and more, and really, I have to watch myself, because I get agitated. I don't like it, man. I don't like what it's doing, because the Holy Spirit doesn't like it, and I understand, I get it, and you stay tactful and loving and considerate, but also, I don't like it, because it's not the Holy Spirit at all. It's oil and water with the Holy Spirit. He despises fear. Faith is the greatest enemy of fear. They come from different kingdoms. They produce different results. Fear is full-on a tactic of the enemy. It can leave you wide open for, it can just leave you vulnerable. I don't like that at all. Anyway, but that same spirit was on Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Gotta read this one for you. Love it, Daniel 3. Give you guys a lot of word tonight. Watch this, man, and I pray that we get stirred afresh, and that it just comes on. We're gonna pray here in a second. I don't wanna pass up Daniel. It's a small book. Bam. But that it just come on. Jesus, watch this. I'll go straight to verse 16. We all know it. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Demuchanezzar is like Baal on my idol. Is that any other? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, oh, listen to the spirit of my idol, these boys, and we will need it. Again, for sure, in the face of persecution, you're gonna see an increase of that. I already told you guys about the 2020 thing that honestly caught me by surprise. We're seeing more pressure in the U.S., very mild compared to the world, though. In other countries, I was on the phone today with my dear friend, David Papavisi, and it was a drop in the bucket to what they know and walk in. But you'll start to see an increase. So definitely persecution, but also to fulfill the will of God, to take ground and conquer and be bold and obey in what he's calling us to, like Joshua. Be strong and courageous. I need you to build. I need you to take ground. This isn't the hour to sit back, relaxed, and scared to fail because of fear. So talking so loud in your other ear is might, because we can get the counsel of God and the strategy, but if you don't have the spirit of might, like I was telling you guys, that's the vehicle that brings counsel into play. You know what I mean? You can get the counsel and God say, look, march around the wall seven times, then shout at the end. But if you don't have the spirit of might, you'll be like, ooh, that's risky. They're gonna see us after day two. They're gonna hear us marching around. They may start bombing us or shooting arrows at us. And what if we blow our trumpets and the walls are gonna, what if the walls don't fall? This is what fear does, and I don't like it. It, listen to me, it short circuits the destinies. You want to defy fear at all costs. When you barely smell fear, slam the door and seal it shut. Don't, you don't wanna give, sorry, but I can just feel it, man. I don't like fear. It's not conducive of God's presence or kingdom or anything else. The Holy Spirit despises it. And it's out to paralyze people, short circuit their destiny, and it'll have you going around mountains for years. Shame's the same. All these things come from hell. Just, sorry, but they do. Faith is God, the blood of Jesus. He is king and reigns over all. And we don't run our life through, under an umbrella of fear, but faith and power and a bold spirit and a sound mind. But anyway, but if you don't have the spirit of might, you're gonna look at that and be like, man, what if we yell and blow trumpets on the seventh day and nothing happens? We're gonna look like idiots, laughing stock of society. But the spirit of might's like, got it, crank the car because I'm the vehicle for counsel, let's go. Seven days around, we're gonna blow the trumpet. That's the counsel. The spirit of might just, it's got this edge on it that's God, that's part of the Holy Spirit. And you're gonna see it increase on your people. I wanna encourage you guys, pray on the Holy Spirit, edify your spirit and let the spirit of might come on you. And I wanna pray here in a second, but it's gonna produce a might, a strength, a courage. And you can see God speaking it into Joshua three times. Be strong, he's speaking it into him and courageous. Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you again, state of the word, you'll succeed in all you do, but be strong and courageous. Don't forget, be strong and courageous. I can feel it right now. We gotta be a people, stay on the word. The word is the plumb line. I told you guys, this dominates all voices, news platforms. I don't care how many PhDs you got behind your name. If what you're saying does not line up to what this tells me, I'm not gonna hear it. I love you, bless you. I'm gonna be considerate about what's best for your life. But if what you're saying doesn't line up with this, it's like water off of a duck's back. You know, it's not valid. And that's not disrespectful at all. I'm just saying, because there's a lot of voices right now that seem credible to many. And they're creating these arrows of fear out of Psalm 91 that are sticking into people. And it's short-circuiting destinies and I don't like it. Anyway, watch this, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Gunners, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you, big boy. No disrespect, all honor, and do where it needs be. But we have no need to answer you in this matter. If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning furnace, the fiery furnace, we all know the story. And he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. See, they're still humble, O king. They're recognizing authority. This isn't an arrogant, maverick spirit, rebellious, no. These are the most humble guys in the globe right here, along with Daniel, full of humility. But you start talking, bowing to something other than Jesus, no, sir. Not ever on my watch. And that's where the spirit of Mike kicks in. Still, you know, anyway. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up. Like, good luck, that's not happening. Throw us in it. And they were like, they basically were like, look, either he will deliver us, but even if he doesn't, he's everything, and we win. But bowing, no, no, that's not gonna happen. I'll never forget, I was in a court date once, and keep this between ourselves, you know, but I was in a court session once, and I'm against this attorney's coming at me on something. And, but to my, I'm in the box, you know, whatever. It was funny, a lot of you guys didn't know this. We were in schools years ago, downtown, and in our studio, and some of you didn't know, I had like a court date downtown the next morning with weighty topics and whatever. But you go through what you go through, and you love Jesus, and he's good, praise God. But I remember I was sitting in one, and I'm in the box, and the lawyer, I'm just being honest with you guys, he was good, but he was getting a little lippy, you know, and I'm a grown man, so I'm full of Jesus, but you know, you come at me a certain way, you know, then you may reap what you sow, and whatever, but to my left is the judge, sweetheart, a black lady, she was amazing, loved her, and a godly woman, actually. And so it was funny, on the dime, I could feel myself changing, because he would get a little lippy, and I'd sting him, and I didn't care, because, you know, just because we're Christians, I mean, we were in a touchy topic anyway. So bam, and then I would turn in the instance of the judge, yes, your honor, humble, compliant, you know, very loving and honorable, but you can feel it in situations. But anyway, you could see it, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, full of humility, so pliable, but now you're crossing something that's got their life at stake, and the pressures are hot, and the times are trying, but the spirit of might kicks in, it's like, nah, that's not gonna happen, not on my watch, Jesus is the only one I bow to, yield to, and I love that passage, because they, anyway, and he always gets glory. I'm gonna read some verses to you again along the spirit of might, we'll land it, so we might go over a little bit, because we also still do dreams and communion, but the spirit of might is big, and you're gonna see an increase on the body, and the more the opposing kingdom starts to try and compress, the spirit of might's gonna gain ground the other way, that's how it works. I'll share a quick vision I had a few days ago, I don't remember, some of you may have saw on our Instagram recently, where there was a video, I was out in the woods, by the creek, shared waiting upon the Lord, was that day, whenever that was recently, I just shared that quickly as an exhortation to bless some of you all, I was reading through the word, but before that, I was locked up that first half of the day out there, out in the woods, and had me a little citronella candle, keep the mosquitoes away, and just got lost in the sweet presence, and a deer snuck up on me at one point, and I could hear him, and I was trying to wait in silence, and I'm like, dude, go on about your business, you hear, he was walking through the woods, probably spying on me, but then I moved, I repositioned, cause he kept walking, I was wanting silence, I'm like, bro, and it was beautiful, and then he started, but it was cool, but then got by the creek as well, but I went into this vision, listen to me, I wanna share this with you, again, I know we're a ways out, but I've heard things like this for years, and I've been preaching the Lord that mattered to him, and he's in all of time, but I go into this vision, and some of you, if you need to go, feel free, we'll have the archive, but we may run a little over, I already said that, but I got in the sweet spot of his presence, and I'll do this often, where Lord, I love you, and talk about whatever, like what's on your heart right now, what are you thinking about, what matters to you, and just wanna minister to his heart, and listen to him, and what's on his heart right now, and got into the sweet spot, and I go into a vision where I see these two spouts of wine that I knew were blood, but they were wine, pour into this, you know what, maybe I can draw it, maybe we'll do a fun drawing, so you can visualize, and I'll come right back, make use of the smart board, real quick, with my hands, so I can see a spout be poured in, another spout from here be poured in, and we'll make the wine glass blue, base and stem, intimacy, anyway, but you can see these two spouts of what I knew were blood, but also wine be poured in to fill this wine cup, and in this vision recently that was on the Lord's heart, and I knew that this vision actually came with interpretation that was great, because often I'll see them and I don't know, like Acts 10, it says Peter went into the vision sheet three times, and he pondered as to what the vision might have meant, meaning he didn't know what it was, this one came with it, I knew immediately that what was on the Lord's heart right now, moving forward to his return, this beautiful, not solely, not solely at all, he's so full, but I got a glimpse into something that meant a lot to him right now, that's all it meant, it meant a lot to me, and I can share some of these things with you guys, because it's more personable, and we're family, like in here, versus pulpits, I can't always, I was able to touch it a little bit, but I knew as soon as I came out of it that we were looking at his blood, it reminded me like an espresso, where the two streams come out this way to make an espresso, but they were coming from the outside to match in one cup, and I knew one stream was his blood, and the next stream was the blood of the saints and martyrs to come, that would fill the prophetic wine cup that he would drink again with us at the wedding feast, that he vowed in the gospels, when he had his last supper, he then vowed to them, he said, I'll never drink of this cup again from the vine until I have it with you and I on the wedding feast that day, he's waited ever since, it's a beautiful covenant, I think he's doing it with a lot of people in the earth, some people justify through verses, and that's to each his own, but I think there's a John the Baptist company forewarning his return, that don't touch these things in a deep covenant way to meet with the Lord, and anyway, but I was like, wow, he's looking forward to that wedding feast again, where he'll drink of the cup of wine from the vine with you and I, that is comprised prophetically of his blood mixed with the blood of the saints, all that being said, it showed me again, the increase of persecution that will come, and the spirit of might will be on a people that don't care, they're so madly in love with Jesus, you know, the pressures of the world, which is really the kingdom of darkness, that's what it is at the end of the day, you're gonna see it pop up in many different facets, but it's the enemy, it's the antichrist spirit, that's antichrist, but those with the spirit of might are like men blessed of the persecuted, you can persecute me and I win, don't persecute me, I win, but if you don't get born again, and fall in love with the king I know so dear, you lose, big time, you might wanna get born again, the body of Christ, you can't, you can throw him in the fire furnace, it doesn't matter, and they're not gonna bow, they're not gonna bend, they're not irreverent, disrespectful, they're humble, pliable, people filled with love, but they bow to him and him only, and anyway, the spirit of might's gonna really start, you're gonna start seeing it more and more, it's gonna be beautiful, anyway, 1 Corinthians Chronicles, sorry, I remember probably a few years ago, I had, I'll get to it in a second, cause I'm gonna hit that verse, 1 Chronicles 28, 20, if you're taking notes, David also said to Solomon, his son, be strong and courageous, and do the work, do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God is with you, 1 Corinthians 16, 13, be on your guard, this is Paul writing, stand firm in the faith, be men of courage, be strong, this is over and over and over again, the nature of God, who the spirit is, not fearful, not timid, that's not in the kingdom, it's not, the Bible even says, cowards will not enter the kingdom of heaven, in the book of Revelation, cowards are in there, you know, I mean, it's in the Bible, just read it for yourself, cowards will not enter the kingdom of heaven, God's not a big fan of it, the Holy Spirit is not a fan of it, and there's gonna be men and women of God that walk in the spirit of might, not arrogance, full out humility, but the spirit of might, and it's gonna also display might, God's power, God's supernatural creative power, miracles, healings, it's all under this umbrella, 2 Timothy 1, 7, for God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, meaning that does not come from God, he's not a fan of it, don't yield to it, listen, buck it at all costs, when you hear it come, well, but they care, the people that say this, apparently not, because it doesn't come from God, and God is love, don't, you know, get into arguments with people, but the substance that's trying to come of fear, you want nothing to do with it, it's not pleasing to the Holy Spirit at all, anyway, God's not giving us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline, Philippians 1, 14, because of my chains, Paul writes, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly, this is what the spirit of might does, you try and contain it, and it increases, you try and reduce it, and it multiplies, you see, because of my chains, Paul writes, you would think fear would wanna come, and it's gonna try to, but you'd think others would see that and dial down, but no, because of my chains, the spirit of the Lord, other brothers speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly, it increases, and we wanna be a company that go with that, again, not rebellious, not, you know what I mean, in love, Matthew 10, 26, 28, this is when I was through 28, but don't be afraid, Jesus says, and I know we're ahead of the curve, especially in this country, but I'm just letting you guys know, we need not be naive either, and with the now voice of God and what he's portraying, and the word, and where we know it's going, and let's just get full of the Holy Ghost, love him, and love the earth, love people, see a mass harvest, power flow, all of it, but in the meantime, walk in spirit of might in the unshakable kingdom, but don't be afraid of those who threaten you, for the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be known to all, listen, the red letters of Jesus Christ, don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body, they cannot touch your soul, fear only God who can destroy both soul and body in hell. The only fear that should ever be anywhere around our world is the reverential fear of God, period, and then obviously your natural fear that's God-given, like don't jump off of a cliff, I mean, that's natural and good, obviously, you know, but I want to say, a good four years ago, I had an encounter where I could hear like angels walking on the road, midday, you know, I think it was probably around 1026 or so is how I knew the verse, I've never even shared this publicly, I don't believe, I don't think my kids knew or anything, but a vaulted part of my roof, the very top peak, I could hear footsteps, and then my door flew open, and I remember I thought like, who's on my roof? It was so real, I went out to check, nobody was on the roof, and the Lord began to speak to me, that from the mountaintops, we'll be preaching the gospel, and this verse too, also, it was a crazy tie-in, it's been a minute, but he overlapped two verses of preaching from the rooftops, and the persecution that will come with it in the days of head, that we need not fear, but fear God alone, and proclaim the gospel from the rooftops, it was really wild, but anyway, we'll land there, I'll pray, we didn't do too bad, and then next week, we'll land it with the spirit of knowledge, and the fear of the Lord. It is altogether glorious and lovely. Okay. Come on, Jesus, I just want you to lift your hands to heaven, some of you wanna lay hands on the screen, lay hands on yourself, lay hands on people next to you, let's receive, I want counsel and might to come on us in a new way, and I can feel it, a lot of times, it's imparted in the anointing of the teaching, but I just look to him, thank you, Jesus, you're everything, we love you, and even now, come Holy Spirit, fresh oil, come into our lamps, the flame of the spirit of counsel, come, be loosed right now, that aspect of who you are, Holy Spirit, the spirit of counsel, be loosed, in Jesus' name, to each and every one, just tangibly feel his presence to the anointing, come in your homes, in your cars, across the world, spirit of counsel, come upon the bride like never before, the strategies of heaven be unlocked over you, the now blueprint of heaven, the new wineskins, the specific know-how, when, for the exact reason, the counsel of God, the spirit of counsel, come, be loosed right now, manifest your presence, and I thank you for the spirit of might, come on, Jesus, fear, I curse you, in the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke you, the Lord Jesus, rebuke fear, be obliterated from your people right now, be removed, that heavy cloak of fear, be loosed off of you right now, that lying devil from hell, that fear that never has, never will come from God, he does not give you a spirit of timidity and fear, boldness, come now, might, supernatural might, the spirit of might, come, rush into the homes, and possess us now and forevermore in an increasing way, let us walk with a new pep in our step, so to speak, by the spirit of might, power, strength, courage, that vehicle to drive home, that counsel, let him come, in Jesus' name, I just saw a tape measure pull out to the number 12, I think there's even gonna be fresh sending starting to happen, 12 is a sending number, an apostolic sending number, from counsel and might, strategies and courage, blueprints and strength, heaven's schemes and plans, and courage, in Jesus' name, thank you, Lord.
