You To be continued… good morning family hope you're doing great today and i've just noticed that our title indicator is not correct for today praise god hallelujah hope you guys are doing wonderful though this is the day the lord has made hallelujah let us rejoice and be glad in it just giving a minute for everybody to connect that's coming in through online those on the lionheart tv network welcome glory to god hallelujah Today I've got a great message that's really a prophetic word, if you will, and we're spending time with God this morning, so we'll give everybody this to me. minute to come on in and we'll jump right into it let's adjust that screen there we got and i think we are now ready praise god all right fam so glory to god he ate her to buy yesterday we give you glory lord jesus All right, so guys I want to talk to you today about The shift is at the door. Amen.

That is the title of the message for today. The shift is at the door. Glory to God. Let's give one more second for folks to come on in here.

Thank you, Jesus. There we go. So the shift is at the door. Word, hallelujah.

So today's message is this. a prophetic word in nature. So let me share that with you. Family, good morning.

Good morning, good morning, good morning. Grab your coffee. Amen. I'm going to welcome you in.

We're going to spend some time in the Lord this morning. for coming on today and i'm going to share what what god was really sharing with me amen i want to share that with you on what i heard and i believe this is a word amen and also i believe this word is for you if you're here it's the first thing the shift is at the door amen um literally prophetically the shift is at the door any of you are about to see a change in your life like flipping on a switch in a dark room the light is going to illuminate the room and bring a totally different contrast a totally different view of what God is doing. Amen? Thank you, Lord.

One moment, you're going to feel like see everything. Imagine that shift. That is what's taking place. that's how sudden this shift from the last season into the new season is.

And I believe if you're here, this message is for you. Pray and seek the Holy Spirit on it. Make sure it's for you. But I believe if you're here, this is chapter 60 and verse 1.

Shine, for the light has come, amen, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. not your light will come someday not your light may come the light is come amen Before we talk about where God is taking you, I need to talk to you about where you because some of you need to understand what the last season was about for many of you god measured you on a steeper scale I understand this. I went through this. There was a lot of pain, a lot of questioning.

But what you went through, it was absolutely… heavier than what a lot of others around you went through what a lot of others around you seem to face and if we're being honest about this it felt very unfair some of you would even say it felt cruel and unusual you look so hard why is there so much breaking and why does it just keep coming and coming and coming here's what i heard Here's what I heard the Lord say. It was part of the testing. God was weighing what he is about to pour out through you.

And the greater the pouring, the greater the preparation. We look in the Bible, 1 Peter. Chapter 4 verse 12, it says, Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial, which is to try. you as though some strange thing happened onto you.

It wasn't strange, family. It wasn't random, and it's very important to understand this, it was not punishment. It wasn't. It's been a mighty, mighty stretch.

It says, enlarge the place of thy tent and let them stretch forth. The curtains of thine habitations. Spare not. Lengthen thy cord.

actually it says cords uh multiple and strengthen thy stakes stretching the stretching is Not comfortable stretching hurts. Stretching absolutely hurts. But God doesn't stretch. What he's not about to fill.

And that's important to understand that. You know, God has a purpose. God has a plan. So it wasn't for no reason.

And the Lord's stretching that took place, it set the field, like it set the game, the field, Lord, into. this next season and that season is arriving quickly james chapter 1 verse 12 It says, Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown. of life and then we look at 1st Peter chapter 5 verse 10 after that suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you, amen, after you have suffered a while, baby. basically.

There is an after family. Important to understand that. You are walking into the after. in Jesus name now I need to speak to something a bit tender here some of you came through that season, carrying a lot of hurt.

I'll even stretch out to say resentment, pain. Thoughts of being abused, misused, used up, and thrown aside. And you've been holding on to it, maybe without even realizing it. the lord says now is the time to hand it to him amen right now this morning this whenever you're watching this go you know 1st Peter chapter 5 verse 7 says casting all your care upon him for he careth For you.

Not some of it, family. All of it. Every wound. Every betrayal.

trail, every night you cried and nobody saw except the Lord. And hear this. Hear this. God is not a tornado.

Commenting God. Some of you have been carrying a picture of God that looks more like… the people who hurt you than like the father that he is. Think about that.

let that sink in but first john Chapter 4, verse 18, it says so clearly. There is but perfect love, the love of Jesus does. What casteth out all fear? Because fear hath torment.

Torment. does not come from God. God is love. God's ways are higher than our ways.

Isaiah 15. 25 verse 9 says it very clearly. For as the heavens are, so are my ways, being God's, higher than your ways, being ours. And my thoughts, being God's.

thoughts higher than our thoughts. Do you see what I'm saying? There's things we just don't understand. We don't have the capacity to hold.

but God You may not understand, family. You may not understand. Many of us don't understand everything. We just don't.

But he allowed, okay? We don't understand the things he allowed. But you can trust the heart of… The one, that's God, who allowed it.

You see, he didn't cause it, but he allowed it. Important to understand that. So ask him this morning for his mercy. mercy and his grace.

Amen. for His mercy and His grace this morning. Lamentations chapter 3 says, His compassions fell not. Passions fell not.

Thank you, Jesus. why because they are new every morning the bible says great is thy faithfulness this is a new morning there's fresh mercy waiting for you right now next Lord showed me that many of you have had enemies knocking at your doors and your windows, assignments being sent. against you. Some of it has come through People smiled at you and worked against you people who tried to sabotage tear down and destroy what god was building in But remember, we wrestle not against flesh and blood.

the enemy may use people but the people are not your enemy remember that it's so easy to get that twisted Oh Sarah did this. Hold on now. It's the enemy operating through them. Some knowingly, some unknowingly.

The enemy. and here's what the Lord says the decks that were opened are being shut Every place the enemy slipped in, every gap that he found, God is now beginning to seal it. Ephesians chapter 4 verse 27 says that neither to give place to the devil, amen, neither give place to the devil. In this season, family, God is taking back every place that was given.

He is rising up. is a fiery hedge around his people. Zechariah chapter 2, verse 5. For I saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about and what will be the glory in the midst.

Fire on the outside, glory on the inside. Let them knock. They're going to be… with the fire of God.

They will. And then Isaiah 54, verse 17. It still stands. no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises against you in judgment the lord god shall And then this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.

Now, family, part of the shift is going to involve people. there are some the Lord is removing from your life you probably will not understand it may hurt hurt but it's necessary that you trust god when he's removing a person or people there's things you don't see There's things you don't understand. He is the holder of all things. He's coordinating.

the chessboard you know god sees moves you can't see yet god knows the end game to be honest with you and he knows wherever Every piece needs to be for what's coming. You know, visualize this. Look at this, rather. When you look at Abraham.

Looking at Abraham in Genesis chapter 13, Abraham and Lot had to do what? They had to separate. They went different ways. And watch what Abram, after Lot, was separated from him.

Lift up now your eyes. This is King James Version. Lift up thine eyes and look from the place where thou art northward. up and southward down eastward to the right westward to the left and verse 15 for all the land which thou seest to thee will I give it.

Amen? After the separation came, the vision. When? After the the separation came the vision.

God didn't show Abraham, Abraham rather, the land until Lot was gone. Some of you are about to see what God had. for you. Trust in the Lord God with all your heart.

Lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways and he will… make straight your paths he will make straight your paths and i have to say this next part um with a lot of love Because the Lord put it on my heart. Many of you have had your eyes opened to religiousness.

you begin to see it and it felt like nobody around you understood you felt alone and you were very judged You know, I'll tell you, I understand. I wholeheartedly understand. A while back, I was in Honduras, La Ceiba, Honduras, Roatan, Honduras. And the Lord began to show me situations that were going on religiously.

It looked like the Holy Spirit, all kinds of things that looked to be God, but it wasn't God. I came back down there, and the Lord told me to go to this, I call it the Pineapple Church. it's not really what it's called but nonetheless that night after contacting them with a word from god in which the pastor told me he'd been walking around and the day before because he felt like God had left him. That he wasn't there in the midst of things.

I was obedient and gave the word to this man. It worked with young people. That night, I had a prophetic dream. I was in this room and sitting at the end of the room is a desk.

on the left wall that's the natural side of things okay a red snake comes out of the bottom rears its head out and i see it there's some things you've got to let the lord work out amen doesn't care what they the lies they spread the things they say you've got to let the lord work it out I went behind the man at the desk, he was the righteous judge, he was a representative of God, and I went behind him. I let God fight my battles. Well, let me tell you, I prayed and I canceled things. But God was showing me what's about to take place, I'm going to deal with.

the first day i went to this church and it was a powerful move god moved powerfully the next day to be picked up and the pastor comes late quite honestly he has an attitude religious pride to be honest with you that religious devil was on this man God was showing me these religious pharisaical demons operating as pastors. I'm going to tell you, it wounded my heart, especially when I found out that he had connected with the pastor in Roatan. who self-appointed himself as an apostle. I've stood before Jesus in heaven.

I was taken to heaven. To be an apostle, you really need to be… You need to have stood before Jesus, seen Jesus. What I'm getting to, guys, is this.

God warned me. He showed me what was about to take place. Now, did I have to forgive that pastor in the Pineapple? Absolutely.

Did I have to forgive the other pastor there in Roatan? Absolutely. but also realize this in them and through them did you see what i'm saying it wasn't the holy spirit so Sometimes you just need to thank God. You just need to thank God and move on.

He'll send you to places to give words, and then you move on. But without further ado, let me kind of move forward here. Many are continuing on with church, playing church. I see these broadcasts.

These videos, you know, kind of doing this when it's not lining up with what God's doing today. God gave me a prophetic dream showing me the organized religious system he's going to crumble. bullet he's calling the remnant people forward that's why we're going to be starting the house church the firehouse churches soon Very soon. So many are continuing on with church as usual, manufacturing something that looks like the Holy Spirit is what I'm getting around to.

But it has nothing to do… with him at all. You know, that situation in La Saba, I called a fellow apostle in India. and he prayed, very accurate man of God, very accurate man of God, and he prayed, and he told me, he said, that is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

He confirmed it. Didn't know anything about the pastor himself. of his name, never seen his videos, by the Spirit of God. Amen?

So not everybody that says Lord, Lord is of the Lord, nor will they enter the kingdom of heaven. Be moved by the Spirit, and that's the key. That's a lot of this last season, and I'm sure a lot of you have dealt with a lot of these things in your own walk and have wondered, Lord, why? Now, 2 Timothy 3, verse 5, it really describes it, okay?

It's like I just said, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. And then it goes on and says, from such, turn away. You don't have to justify yourself. Amen.

You don't have to try to make it well known and perfect. You trust God, you follow God, it won't always make sense. And that's, anyway, that's been a lot of what this last season was about. God is not after a…

form of godliness family he's after his presence amen not by might nor by power but by my spirit saith the lord of hosts whoo praise god the established religious ways are going to crumble god showed me personally took me in the spirit and showed me jesus we praise you they're going to crumble hebrews 12 27 talks about god removing the things that are shaken that those that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. what god built will stand what man manufactured will fall so if the lord if the lord has shown you this don't get bitter about it lay it on the altar release it And move forward with what the Lord is placing on your heart. Don't just take my word for it, amen, or anyone else's. Pray and seek him directly for confirmation.

Jeremiah chapter 33, verse 3. That's it right there. there call on to me sir thee and show thee what great and mighty things he'll show you great and mighty things which you know not of he will confirm his word to you personally amen personally now here's where it all turns The shift is at the door. Prepare to walk out of that place and don't look back.

Isaiah chapter 43, verses 18 and 19. Remember, ye not the former things, neither… consider the things of old behold watch this i will do a new thing now it shall spring forth Shall ye not know it? Jesus said in the book of Luke, chapter 9, verse 62, No man has…

Having put his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. And in Luke chapter 17 verse 32. He said three words, three words, remember Lot's wife. Jesus, remember Lot's wife.

She got out of the city, but her heart was still in that old place, and she looked back. Don't look back. Look up. Psalm 121.

I will lift up my eyes onto what? The hill from where my help. comes from my help comes from the lord which made heaven and earth and here's what's waiting When you look up, the Lord says it's time to recover what was taken. and to recover it, what's this, with interest.

Recover it with interest. You look at the book of Joel, chapter 2, verse 25, he says, And I will restore to you the years. that the locust hath eaten. Proverbs, Proverbs chapter 6 verse 31 says, when the thief is found, watch this, He shall restore sevenfold at seven times.

And at the end of Job's test. Interesting. Job 42, chapter 42, verse 10. Job says, the Lord gave Job twice as much.

as he had before. So he was doubled for everything he went through. That's recovery with interest family. You're not just getting back what you lost you're getting a whole lot more what about david we can look at david too actually when david found burned and everything was taken God told God told him in 1 Samuel chapter 30 Verse 8, pursue, pursue, for thou shalt show.

Surely, surely, overtake them, and without fail, recover all. Let me say that one more time. This is 1 Samuel, chapter 13. Verse 8, pursue, that's an order, pursue, for thou shall surely overtake them.

He's telling him, Samuel, you're going to go and overtake. David, you're going to go and overtake them, and without fail, you're going to recover all. And he did. Nothing at all was missing.

Family, you're going to recover all, and you're going to get interest in Jesus' name. Okay, the Lord is also moving. He's bringing anointing. Anointing.

Joshua chapter 1, verse 3. and unto you. God's saying, every place that your foot touches, it treads. God's given it to you.

Amen? it's important to realize that and understand that family and God is funding what he called you to do Deuteronomy chapter 8 verse 18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God for it is He they giveth the power to what? get wealth the Lord does that praise God He may establish his covenant. Philippians, Philippians chapter 4, verse 19.

But my God shall what? Supply all… Listen, what God calls you to, will cover. You may look around sometimes and say, well, Johnny was in the ministry and he was starving.

He was without. Here's my question for you. you today. Was he in God's timing and was he actually called?

One prophet all of a sudden shook up and self -appointed themselves as prophets. I'm sorry, apostles. it's the crazy to look new and that's all you don't need them to understand it just to be very honest with you listen they didn't understand the testing either that you went through many of them judged you spoke about you score let God work it out amen you don't need you need God's direction Be a God-pleaser and not a man-pleaser. And yeah, that can be challenging, but it's critically important.

You want to please God. psalm chapter 46 and verse 5 says that god is in the midst of her she shall not be moved god shall Help her. Grab that. God shall help her.

And that right early. Right early. Grab that. This morning, the shift is at your door.

Praise God. Family, let us pray. Heavenly Father, God, we love you. We exalt you.

We thank you for this beautiful, precious day you've made, God. We just thank you for this amazing new morning and for the mercies, God. That are new every morning. Father, I lift up every person listening to this broadcast right now.

Live or maybe in the future. Through the steep measure, the heavy season, Lord God, or seasons even. Stretching that felt so very unfair and very uncomfortable. Lord, I just want to say thank you.

that it was not wasted or settle them, strengthen them. them and establish them now in Jesus name Lord every hurt every wound every feeling of being being abused or misused, we lay it on your altar right now. We receive… your mercy, your grace, I ask you to heal the broken places.

Thank you, Lord. Father, show them your true face. A loving Father. not a tormentor and father ask you to shut every door every crevice, Lord, every crack the enemy has used or be a wall of fire round about your people lord god and the glory in the midst every assignment sent against Sent against any of us, God.

Every knock at the door, at the window. And this is really spiritual. We bind it in the name of Jesus. Lord, let us be aware.

and remembrance that we're not wrestling, God. We're not warring, Lord God, against people. So we release them to you. you.

And we ask you to deal with what's been behind them. Lord, you said we only need to hold our peace and you'll fight. our battles we hand it to you lord and lord where you are removing people Give your children the grace to trust you because you hold all things. Lord, you are moving every piece into its right place.

where religion has held your people back, God. Set them free. let them lay it down and seek you directly and ask you to confirm your word. Father, flip the switch.

Let the light come on. Restore what the… and restore it with interest, O God. Move your people into new places in the spirit and in the natural.

Have call. Help everyone walk. out and not look back bring an awareness in the heart of the importance to not looking back from day looking up, amen, forgive those, listen, forgive those. operating behind them but don't get caught up in it again either amen family i love you all so incredibly much And I want to say this today, that the enemy wants you to be divided.

He wants you to be good. He wants you to be into that. Face the things that appear before you. Be moved by the Spirit of God.

It's important. It's very important. I'm looking at a lot of, especially these young people, I've got a call to the young people. Just, yeah, I'm wearing it.

This young man right here, his name is Trenton. He's an amazing young man. He's got an amazing story. But he's doing what most don't.

You know, he had a young baby, he's a youngster himself, doesn't claim to know everything, but he's going through it, he's trusting God, and he's one of the most amazing fathers. others that I've seen. This is what we need. The enemy can drive a wedge.

It's easy to lose, but this young man right here, he's literally walking it out. Raising his son, he's pouring so much love into him. It's amazing. And he's not standing on the popularity of people.

He's loving to people. He expresses himself well, but I'm going to tell you, we can learn a lot from people that really yield to the Lord. He doesn't claim… know it all, but he's yielding to the Lord.

He's not afraid to get on his broadcast and pray and talk about the Lord. And I'll tell you something, the way he raises his son. Man, he started bringing the Lord, he already had the Lord in his broadcast, but he started bringing the Lord into the center of it, and I was like, wow, this is what it's about. Move into what God has called you to do.

It may not be comfortable. There may be uncertainties. But remember, Proverbs 3, 5, and 6, family, trust in the Lord God with all your heart. Lean not on your own.

understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways and he will make straight your paths. Amen. I love you all so much.

Stay in the peace of God. Amen. Stay in the peace of God. Peace is more precious and costly than gold.

Amen? It's important to realize that. I love you all. God bless you.

I look forward to seeing you all in the morning. You're amazing. The Lord loves you. It's not about perfection.

It's about relationship. Not about religion. The Lord bless you guys. I'll see you.

On the next one. God bless y'all. Transcribed by ESO, translated by — I don't know how to do it, but I don't know how to do it.
