Foreign Galatians, chapter 6, verse 9. Galatians 6, verse 9. And this was prophesied. There was a lot of prophetic stuff over us on the weekend, but a lot of it seemed to kind of share that. You guys been going through seasons, you've gone through a lot of things.
You've believed, you've had vision, you've had words, and you've, you've worked through those things. There's been disappointments, been delays, been things that seemed awkward, but don't worry about it. God's right on time and he's going to bring, bring it to pass. And so I absolutely agree with that. And.
But Galatians 6, 9 says, and let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season, say due season, in due season we shall reap a harvest. If you don't lose heart, you know, the enemy tries to make you lose heart. Sometimes you got dreams, visions, hopes, and you kind of go, man, you know, I used to say I got a five year plan. And I did. I came as a young man, I had a five year plan.
I shared it with about 20 senior citizens who looked at me funny and said, isn't he a cute lad and a little bit brain dead? But I shared with them a vision of southwestern Ontario full of the glory of God, vehicles traveling every morning, blessing caravans full of people that go from this place and go out and plant churches all over southwestern Ontario. We're going to take over. And I was just like, you know, spitting and all that. And I showed them how five years we could do it.
Then 10 years later I was like, I'm in the 10th year of my five year plan. Then I can remember one time I said, we're in the 15th year of my five year plan. You know, the Lord arrested me and he said, are you disappointed? Disappointed? Are you frustrated?
And I said, maybe, maybe a little. I don't know. I just, I worked really hard and I thought there'd be a bit more. And he said to me, don't get weary in well doing, because my word will prosper and at its appointed time, it's going to come to pass. And though it terries you, wait for it, because I'm telling you what I spoke to you.
It's not a false word, but it's a word that will come to pass. You know, I do believe we're stepping into due season, and I do believe we're stepping into that season. That's everything that kept on being said all weekend to us. So. CS Lewis said hardship often prepares ordinary people for extraordinary destiny.
Hardship often prepares ordinary people for extraordinary destiny. Do you know you have an extraordinary destiny? Do you know that? I love what even Stephanie said. She said, I'm not ashamed of my story.
I'm not ashamed of my history. Because now it has become a platform to me to stand on and declare the goodness of God. And I don't hide, you know, what happened to me, because I can stand on that now. And out of my victory, I can impart victory to other people. And so that's wonderful.
That's wonderful stuff. And we want to see so many treasures out of darkness that are just baptized in the glory of God and their testimony, literally. The word testimony in Hebrew does mean do it again. And when you share your testimony, your testimony is literally creating in the hearts of people in front of you that same revelation to break through. And God is doing it again when you share what he's done for you.
Genesis 7:6. And the rain was on the earth for 40 nights. Say, 40 nights, 40 days and 40 nights. So it came to pass at the end of 40 days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made. And 40 days and 40 nights of excruciating rain.
It was just a horrible thing. The known world was crushed underneath this flood. And no one, his family were in this ark, in this place. Bouncing thunder, lightning gushing, all of these things going on. And they are there, safe in the ark.
But outside, it is ridiculous. It's a tempest. It's crazy. But after 40 days, it stopped. And he opened the window.
And the promise of God is real. And you might be going through a situation that seems crazy, seems harsh, seems odd, seems awkward, but I tell you, there's always going to be 41. There's always going to be 41. There's Always going to be 41. And I tell you right now, you know what?
We're in. We're in 41. We've been through the 40. We've done the 40. And I tell you what, it's 41.
And when the storm stops and you open that window and you see the sun shining, you know, we have stepped into a new season. We've stepped into the reality. His promises are yes and amen. And we're going to see the fulfillment of what he desires. Say 41.
Say 41. And when 40 years had passed, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame and a bush in the wilderness in Mount Sinai. He was 40 years old. And Moses visited his own people. He saw the way they were being treated.
And he pulled out his sword and he killed a soldier. He took the redemption of his own people in his own hands. And they went, wow, how many people you gonna kill? Then he realized he was terrified and he tried to do something. He had a revelation of freedom, but he thought he could do it maybe on his own strength.
He was raised in Pharaoh's house, full of the wisdom and understanding of Egypt. But when he saw the plight of his own people, it led him to murder somebody and say, these people gotta be free. But that's attempt in his own flesh put him 40 years in another wilderness. He went 40 years and he went and he worked as a Shepherd. But then 40 years from that, 40 years.
Suddenly, when the 40 years had passed, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame, in a bush, in the wilderness. Sinai said, I have heard their groaning. I have heard their groaning, and I have come down to deliver them. And now I will send you to Egypt. I'm telling you, the Lord has heard the groaning all over this planet.
He's heard the groaning of the brokenness in the world. He heard the groaning of step Stephanie. She's crying out, I don't even want to live anymore. I despise life itself. And there's people all over the world groaning right now.
People you look at, you work with, who they look like. A smile. But inside there's desperation. They might be coming to church, you might be in church. Imagine coming to church in church, but planning your exit from life itself.
And yet, after 40 years, Moses gets a call from God. And he says, I have heard the cry of the people and. And it's time to set them free. It's time for us to step into 41. It's time for us to cross over into 41.
Numbers 13, 25. And the number of days which they went into the land was 40. And for each day of the year, you shall bear the iniquities for 40 years. And you shall know my breach of promise. Now this was the 12 spies went in and for 40 days they looked at the promised land, and they looked at how amazing it was.
And 10 came back and said, there's giants. Oh no, we can't do it. And two came back and said, oh my goodness, this is beautiful. This is fantastic. We gotta go in.
This is awesome. What God's provided. But because of the disobedience at 10, they spent 40 years in the wilderness. And there's Joshua and Caleb and their families. They gotta wait until a whole disobedient Generation dies before they can go into the promise of God.
For 40 years they were stuck wandering in the desert. But Joshua 1:2 says, Moses, my servant is dead now. For arise and go over this Jordan, thou and this people in the land which I will give you. Even the children of Israel. You know what happened?
40 was done, and we stepped into 41. 41, say 41. I'm telling you, we're stepping into 41. Jonah, chapter three. It says 40 days.
Here it is. Jonah is a prophet. God says, go to Nineveh. They hate Nineveh. Nineveh are the most evil people on the earth.
Nineveh had mastered how to skin people alive. They would skin people and then hang their body and hang their skin and they'd hang these things on the wall. These people were violent, vicious people, and they had attacked the people of God. And Jonah gets a word that I want you to go and I want you to prophesy and I want you to minister to Nineveh, go to the most horrible, evil place in the world. And Jonah, of course, instead said, I'm going to take a vacation.
I'm going to go to the Mediterranean Riviera. And he jumped on a boat. And then the storm happened. They found out he was the reason. And he spent a three day journey in a condominium called a whale.
I don't know if it's a whale, some big crazy thing, but one thing we do know is that whales do not like disobedient prophets. So the whale vomited him back out onto the beach. Wouldn't you love to have been there that day with the kids hanging out at the beach? And all of a sudden a whale comes. All of a sudden this guy gets spit out.
But you see, Jonah then turned around and he went and he began to preach in Nineveh. He didn't want Nineveh. Here's a guy who had no hope for Nineveh to be changed, and yet he preached the word to nineveh. It says, 40 days from now Nineveh will be destroyed. And the people of Nineveh believed these evil.
You might think, ah, this too far gone. These nations, they're too far gone. These people are awful. Things are too far gone. Nothing is too far gone in our culture.
No one is too far gone. No one is unreachable. No one has gone too far. It may offend you, but Jeffrey Dahmer accepted Jesus when he was in prison. He said he was brought up to say there's no God.
He said, if there's no God, you can do whatever you want. For some dumb reason, he thought killing and eating people was a good idea. Jeffrey Dahmer accepted Jesus, got baptized in water, and he's going to be your neighbor in the kingdom of God. Nobody is too far gone. Nobody.
And there's no situation, circumstance, or culture that God can't invade. And I tell you, after 40 days, Nineveh, the worst culture ever. Nineveh believed God's message. And from the greatest to the least, they declared a fast and burlap and they show their sorrow. And Jonah 3:10, it says, when God saw what they had done and how they had put a stop to their evil ways, he changed his mind.
And he did not carry out the destruction of the threatened, because after 40, he comes. 41. We're stepping into 41. We're stepping into a new season. It'll never be the same.
It's just ridiculous. Who's excited about that? All right, come on, help me. Help me. Help me.
First Samuel 17, verse 16. It says, For 40 days, every morning and evening, the Philistine champion came out and strutted in front of the army of Israel. But one day, one day for 40 days, 40 days and 40 nights, they all dressed up. They all came up, and Israel was there, all dressed in her going. And then one guy from the other side came down and said, all right, just one of you slobs come on down here.
Instead of us all fighting, you just send your champion and lets us have it out. And whoever wins carries the day. And they all stood there and they all ran away. Next day, came out again and did it all over again. But one day, one day, it's just one day.
What can happen in one day with one person who understands who they are, one person walking in a revelation of their identity right now. One day. One day. It says one day the son Jesse said to David, go and take some pizzas to the captain of the army so that they'll move my sons to the back row. So David basically was sent to bribe the captain to get his sons further back in the battle.
But when David got there, he said, who's this fool? What's this cat doing? And David said, what do I get for killing him? That one day David showed up. And you know what that was?
That was day 41. It says today, verse 46 and 51, it says, today the Lord will conquer you and I will kill you, and I will cut off your head. And I love this. I love this. David went quickly towards the giant.
Then David ran over and he pulled Goliath's sword from his sheath, and David used it to kill him. And he cut off his head and he put it on a platter and he took it to the king. That's pretty gruesome, awful stuff, isn't it? But I tell you, any king, any demonic force, anything that is standing in your face and saying, no, it can't be done, you got to tell him. It's day 41.
It's day 41, and I'm showing up, and I'm showing up, and we're going to see a great act and a move of God. Luke chapter 4:1 and 2. Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and he was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where he was tempted by the devil for 40 days. 40 days. But I'll tell you, there's 41.
He overcame every temptation and trial to the devil. And it says that then, then 41. Then on 41, Jesus returned. He went. He was led by the Spirit.
He was full of the Spirit. But on day 41, he came out of the wilderness in the power of the Holy Spirit. And we're coming out right now on day 41. We're coming out in 41, and we're coming out in power. We're coming out.
And there is a massive shift. You may not know it, you didn't see it, you didn't even know what happened. But there's a shift in the spir spirit of the identification of who we are as a people. And we've stepped into day 41, and we're stepping into ridiculous, profound blessing and authority. Hello.
And what I love about what Balogi said is that we're coming into an understanding and a revelation of who we already were. It's like our mind is catching up with what our spirit already knew. And we're coming into a rediscovery and an unfolding of how powerful and mighty we are in the earth and what God's intentions have always been in and through us. Acts 1:3. He also presented himself alive after his sufferings by many infallible proofs, being seen by them for 40 days and speaking to them pertaining the things of the Kingdom of God.
And this weekend was all about the kingdom of God. It was all about us being kings and priests. It was all about our responsibility to enforce the reign and rule of heaven in the earth, to make those two different realms indistinguishable in their quality. That, as it is in heaven is our goal. And we are empowered to realize that.
And it's day 41. It's time for us to walk in the full manifestation of the kingdom of God. Acts 1:9. Now, when he had spoken these things while they watched, he was taken up. Here it was day 41, 41, boom.
He was taken up. And they watched as he was taken up and a cloud received him. Hebrews 1:3 says, when he had himself purged our sins, he was raised up. He was raised up and he was seated at the right hand of the Father. On day one, the Son of Man, who he was sent.
God sent his Son. But Jesus as the Son of man, a man ascended into the heavenly realms. And a man sat down at the throne at the right hand of God, a man took that position so each of us could be seated with him in heavenly places. And after he taught about the kingdom for 40 days, on day 41, he ascended and he sat down. And he is seated there.
And we have access to. We are now seated with him. Far above all rule, all power, all authority. We on day 41, we've been raised up, and we are seated with him in heavenly places. Please settle down.
So that's good. Psalm 110. 1:2. The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool. The Lord shall send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion.
He sat down. We now are equipped. It's through us, it's through the church. It's always been his intention that now, through the Church, this eternal, beautiful Body of Christ, we would manifest the authority of God and bring all things under the headship of Christ. Things created, things, things seen, things unseen.
We are here to bring all things under the authority in the headship of Christ. Isn't that great? It's day 41. He is seated, he sat down, and now he's going to exercise his authority through the Church. All right, thank you.
Thank you. Acts 1:4. And being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart. He said, wait, I want you to wait. And he said, I want you to take 10 days.
So on day 41, he wanted them to go, and he wanted them to wait. He wanted them to wait. So they waited. And they waited for 10 days. 10 is the type of a test.
10 commandments. 10. 10 throughout the scriptures is a test. But these people who saw the ascended Christ and had the instruction about the kingdom, he said, you can't do a liquor ministry. You need to wait for the promise of the Father.
So what's beautiful about 41 is fantastic. And positionally that we are seated as good. But our status does nothing for creation. Our identity does nothing for creation. Our status has to become substance.
Our identity has to become manifestation. And all of creation, the ground itself, everything is crying out for a manifestation of the sons of God. Now what he did, and he sat down on day 41. But as they waited that 10 days, suddenly there was 50. And on 50 at Pentecost, when the day of Pentecost had fully come, suddenly there was a sound from heaven as a rushing mighty wind.
And they were all filled with the holy spirit. Say 50, 50, 41 is wonderful. 41. The positional reality of who you are, that we are in Christ, seated with him, in heavenly places. All of that is great.
And I'm so grateful for 41. But we as the Church and New Covenant people, we stepped into 50. We've stepped into a place where we don't just have identity in him, we have authority in Him. We have the right to reign and rule in this life because we are now partakers of that same nature. I've got Christ himself in me.
I am baptized. I am saturated with the Holy Ghost. He has taken up residence my life. And I have power and authority. As he is, so am I in this world.
The same anointing was on him, is on me. I can now go and transform the very substance of earth. So we. Our status has to become substance. Our status has to become substance.
Just. Just being who we are doesn't change. It doesn't stop the groan of creation to be set free. We've got to manifest, we've got to demonstrate the substance of who we are. Luke 4, 19 and 20.
Jesus, when he came out of the wilderness, he said, I've come and I proclaim to you the acceptable day of the Lord. And today he said, today this script is fulfilled within your hearing. And that day, you know what today is? It's jubilee. You know what jubilee is?
It's 50. 50 is everybody gets their stuff back. Everybody is set free. Everybody has absolute access to the goodness of God. And that's why we're here.
We're here to freely we've received and we're here to freely give. Amos 3, 8 is kind of the verse that God laid on my heart for this whole weekend. And it was a lion is roared and who will not fear? When you're in the jungle of a lion roars, you're going to pay attention. But use that as a connection.
Here's what the Lord wanted to say the Lord has spoken. And who can but prophesy? We had a great weekend where the Lord has spoken. He said some wonderful things over us as a church, as a body. Spoke some fabulous things over you individually.
The lion has roared. The lion has roared over us as a community. The lion has roared. The lion has declared. The Lord has spoken.
Now it's our turn. What are you going to do? All of heaven standing at attention. Dead end. They're looking at you.
What are you going to do with this revelation? What are you going to do with this word that was spoken over you? Because God has one plan, plan A. And that's to use you. You know, God has spoken.
It's time for us to testify. To testify. Folks, I'm telling you, we stepped into 41, but way beyond that, we've stepped into 50. And it's time for us to be everything that God's called us to be as a community and as a church. And so I want to roar that over you and declare that over you.
Amen. Come on, stand.
