Sean Smith - Warfare and Wells (Part 2) - Oasis 2025

[00:00:00] Sean: You have to have more of a determination and grit than the devil does to keep it closed. Your desire to get it open has to be greater than his desire to keep it closed because he not only. He not only stopped the well, he guards the well. And when you get closer to opening up wells, you begin to see warfare increase in your life. [00:00:28] Thomas: Hello and welcome to the Well: an Elim Fellowship Leadership Podcast. My name is Thomas and I am excited that you are joining us today as we receive the second part of our new friend Sean Smith's word from day two of the 2025 Oasis conference. In our last episode, Sean challenged the church to be active in pursuing revival. If you haven't heard this episode yet, I highly encourage you to pause and go back and listen to this episode before we continue. Today, Sean will finish this message reminding us of the reality of spiritual warfare that surrounds the prophetic wells in our lives. I promise you do not want to miss this message. So join us as we seek to open prophetic wells in our lives, in our churches and in the world today. [00:01:14] Sean: Enjoy. So let me narrow this part down right here. There's a couple things that I think that you need to understand this rewriting the narrative right now. Why we've got to go deeper. Number two, there's a global craving for something real. There are people that are hungry for the real. They want the real Jesus. Raw, unfiltered Jesus. Come on, somebody, right? We people are over edited faith. Let the Bible say what the Bible says, right? This thing where I'm going to make you feel good, I'm going to give you a TED Talk, I'm going to be a life coach. That stuff's over. There's a generation. They don't want that. They are drawn to people that will draw lies, not to those who will erase them. We need to preach. We need to love them, but we need to preach. What does the Bible say about that? They're crying out for the raw. They're crying out for the real. They want the presence of God. People say, well, if we let the. Not you, but people say if we let the Holy Spirit move, they'll have questions. And we're like, whoa, stop. Time out. At least they'll have questions because that other stuff you're giving them, they have no questions. They totally understand that. You got to give them more than skinny jeans, small machines and big screens. Come on, somebody. Although. Although we got two, other than three right now. Okay? We got to give them something more than that. There's a global craving, right? They want the raw, the real. They don't want the highlight. Real, come on. They don't want the hype. They want the Holy Ghost. And the second thing that I would say, this rewriting, there is an exhaustion of empty replacements. We've tried everything else and this part, I'm going to move on quicker. But I believe that what we're going to begin to see. And I've got some incredible prophetic friends and several of them have said, sean, in terms of a word for this season, they said, sean, watch this. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are about to make a big comeback. That the power of God is about to come on the gifts of spirit. Your prophecy will be more accurate. Your words of knowledge will be more proficient. Your gift of healing will begin to see the cases where doctors and others and I'm telling you what, God is emphasizing the Holy Spirit and his ministry in this. And I am desperate for a true outbreak of the Holy Ghost. Anybody that's with me is desperate. All right. Digging a well. They experts, historians tell us that digging a well was a way of claiming ownership of a land that if you went during these ancient Old Testament biblical times, if you dug a well, it was your title deed to that area that you digging a well meant you were the owner of that land. You could not dig a well on someone else's land for the Philistines to come and fill up the well. This is our well, right? So Abraham had dug it and the Bible lets us know. Abraham died and Isaac came. Let me tell you something. Abraham dug it and his men, the Philistines, when he died, covered it. Now watch what happens in times of transition. The devil tries to cover your wells. America's in the big T right now, and I believe the western world is in major transition right now. But maybe you personally can experience transition the enemy wants, maybe even I've seen kids statistics would say that they were in youth group, they were on fire at their churches, and then they go to college. In that transition, the devil covers their wells. Certain other people that there's transitions in life that go to certain places. And I've seen people that I thought you're transitioning now into your legacy years. And I'm seeing, sad to report you're seeing it too. Mighty men of God, mostly men that why would you pull the pin on the hand grenade and blow up your testimony and your legacy years. But as they're transitioning from kind of this place where they were contending to see God break through, then they get the massive breakthrough. Now they're moving into legacy. The enemy comes to try to cover their wells. The enemy always wars in times of transition. As Abraham died. And we have great men and women of God that have gone to be with the Lord. I know I'm talking fast right now. I could begin to run down heroes of mine. I remember I've had three lunches with Reinhard Bonnke, had him pray for me, lay hands on my kids. Every time a guy has ever gotten a chance to spin, I came back burning. And I remember weeping when I got up and I found out that brother Bonnke had passed. I did the same thing for Billy Graham. I never met Billy Graham, but he's inspired me so much. And I'm thinking, as the Abrahams have transitioned, the enemy wants to cover wells before the Isaac. Understand what the flow is about. Are you with me? You'll save me 15 minutes of preaching. Just wave if you're tracking. Okay, here we go. The enemy would fill up a well. Now, filling up a well, putting dirt in this well as Philistines was not an act of vandalism. It was a statement. This is not your land. You need to go someplace else. What this was was attempting to reclaim the ownership. But in fact, they never own it to begin with. So it's hijacking the ownership of the land. You guys are with me. Digging the well meant ownership, filling the well meant we don't want you here, and I'm taking your inheritance. It is the snatching of a legacy. And this is what the enemy's about in this season. And in addition to that, the experts tell us it was also an act of war. So now Isaac's in a position. Do we war over the wells, or do we go on and pretend, like paint the wells, decorate the wells, but not acknowledge the wells true condition? It's cracked, it's stopped up. Like, what happens when all a generation sees is diminished flow, crack well Christianity, they deconstruct. They're not attracted to come to that church. I was in a service. One of my mentors, man, probably where you're sitting at, bro. He was preaching. I'll never forget. It was Henry J. Kaiser auditorium in Oakland, California. And he points out, there's an Asian, beautiful Asian lady there. She was in a wheelchair. He says, ma', am, the power of God is on you. Would you get up and like, I'm a college student. I brought another college student, one of my best buddies I led to the Lord, Randy Secuda. And so we're sitting there and he says, ma', am, stand Up. The power of God is on you. She doesn't move. She doesn't. Doesn't even seem like she's acknowledged him that much. He says, number. He says again. Second time he raised his voice. Ma', am, the power of God is on you. Would you get up? She doesn't move. He says, ushers, help me. Now. At this point, you can feel the collective air come out of the atmosphere because people are thinking, oh, my goodness, this is an overextension of one of them evangelist kind of things. And it's not gonna be good. Awkward. I brought my uncle tonight. I brought my son. They need Jesus, right? He says, ushers, help me. The power of God is on this woman right here. The ushers come behind. She's like, oblivious to what's going on. Usher puts his hand on her shoulder. It startles her. She jumps up. Now I'm right over there, so maybe about third row, where my sister has got her arms crossed. I'm looking over at this precious sister. She has a shawl. She was sitting in a chair. Shaw falls off. If you didn't know it, you could tell by her spindly, atrophied legs that this was not some sort of conjured up gimmick to get you to think that this guy was super anointed. And all of a sudden, she jumps up and she begins to take a step, a step, a step, a step. She begins to walk, and she takes off running. All of a sudden, like now, everyone in the room begins to applaud. Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium. I'm a college student. I'm a year old in the Lord. Randy and I, we hit the floor bawling while everyone else stood. And I'm not trying to set us apart, but as college students, this was the first creative miracle. I read about Kathryn Kuhlman. I read about Amy Semple McPherson. I read about Smith Wigglesworth. But I am seeing. And then her family behind her, they're all bawling. So this is proof on proof. So we find out the rest of the story. This Asian family, this was their grandmother. She didn't speak English. So when he said, ma', am, get up. Like, imagine someone speaking to you in a language you don't know. She doesn't even know he's talking to her. And all of a sudden, not even speaking a language. When he instructed the usher to put his hand on the woman, she began to describe through her family. They understood obviously that language in English. Testified she felt electricity go through her being. She's standing well in that moment. My heart is, I want a well of Christianity that models that for a generation. Crack well Christianity. We don't even pray for the sick anymore. Crack well, diminished flow Christianity. We refer out when we needed a cast out. We don't have deliverance because we don't even know our authority in Christ. We're afraid that may offend someone. Yeah, the devil and darkness cast the devil out of them. Crack well. The problem with being around crack well diminished flow Christianity, in other words, if Isaac doesn't unearth this well is that becomes your norm. And the next generation, they didn't see what it was like when it was flowing. This is all they know that breaking open a well is about legacy. Breaking open a well has generational impact. I know I'm yelling, I'm talking loud. Are y' all still with me? You guys are still with me this time? Right here speaks to me and I'll. Wow. So Isaac had a decision to make and I believe he obviously made the right decision because cracked well Christianity. Crack well Christianity can't carry kingdom power. Write it down. Cracked well Christianity. I'm just thinking of a couple scenarios. It's crack well. It's diminished flow. It's closed off. Crack well Christianity can't carry kingdom power because when the truth is watered down, the people dry up. If you're underneath someone that's preaching the word of God to where it cuts, thank God for them. Where the word of God. I want to be encouraged. I speak the truth in love. Seriously. I'm a grace guy. Don't get me wrong. Right? But I also understand, number one, the fear of the Lord, the reverence of God. I understand that, man, God. God's place is a holy place. I honor that. And I'm telling you what, a crack well can't carry kingdom power. And if you're not preaching with power, your well is leaking someplace. If power does not follow these signs shall follow them that believe in Jesus name, right. They'll cast out devils, lay hands on the sick, they shall recover, speak in new tongues, et cetera. If power isn't following what we're preaching, then we got a leak going on someplace. That would be the only conclusion you could draw. The second of all, a closed well cannot satisfy the thirst of a generation. Closed well won't satisfy the thirst of a generation. We got to fight to get this thing open and the substitutes are killing us because right here's what we'll do. We'll rebrand when we need to re dig. Now don't get me wrong. I Think it's awesome. Rebrand. Absolutely right. But don't rebrand if you're not willing to re dig right this. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. All right, let me say this. And I want to move towards the close here. We're getting there. A stop flow Christianity means that there's no lingering presence. It means there's no consistent harvest. It means there's no lasting victory. Perfect timing. The Bible says that the Philistines stopped up. Say the word stopped up. This is the well right here. The Philistines stopped up. In the original Hebrew. There's two shades of meaning that sticks out. I need. By the. Look this way. I want you to get this. The first of all, when it says the Philistines stopped up one more time, say stopped up. Awesome. It means to shut up and keep clothes. So the enemy fights that he not only shut off the well, but he releases demonic spirits, maybe even a principality to keep it closed. Did you find that? It means to shut up and keep closed. So the enemy not only shut off what God did at one particular time, but there's a demonic entity surrounding it to keep it closed. That if you're going to open your well, you have to have more of a determination and grit than the devil does to keep it closed. Your desire to get it open has to be greater than his desire to keep it closed. Because he not only stopped the well, he guards the well. And when you get closer to opening up wells, you begin to see warfare increase in your life. Anybody wave your hands, both hands and a leg, that you've had some increase, it's probably because you're getting closer. Now the second thing that comes out in the original of this word is I told you, first of all, it means to shut off and keep closed. So you come in areas and you feel a demonic presence. You just feel like, whoa. My wife and I, we've been named and we've got a spiritual son and daughters helping us. And that's where they're at tonight that the WNBA started a brand new team, the Golden State Valkyrie. And we are the chaplains of the Golden State Valkyrie. I don't know if this is getting out or anything. I don't mind telling people this. This part might be a little bit sensitive, but it's in the Chase center in San Francisco. You got to understand the things that have gone on in San Francisco. And so all of a sudden, for all intents and purposes, I know it's just a chapel service. And they. We went to this thing and the other chaplains of the other teams was telling us it was in Manhattan. And a friend of mine who's a pastor there at Times Square, he hosted as Tim Delina. And so he this. They were telling us, hey, your first year, if you get one person to come out, you know, you're gonna expect to be mistreated or whatever like that. Our first chapel, we had 13 people show up. Now, let me. Let me explain. There's only 12 people on a team. That was two teams in the WNBA, the visiting team and the home team get together. So it's two teams. I should put that out there, right? But that's still awesome, right? Right. But I'm telling you, I feel like years ago when we planted a campus ministry at that time was the number one party school in America, according to Playboy magazine. People told me. Obviously, I didn't find out firsthand, but you can laugh at that. Go ahead and laugh at that. I remember just that sense of feeling like, man, something is obstinate and difficult. Something's in front of me. Something is like you hear the things in your ear, like you are out of your league. What are you doing? Go home. You're not ready for this. You've been laboring that long, you're not going to see this. Let me tell you what. That's all. Because that the enemy, right, has not only closed something off, he's fighting to keep it closed. But that must mean I'm in proximity of my well if the fight's that hard. Second shade of the meaning. It means to keep secret and disguise. Oh, y' all not even ready for this. Oh, what it means is, not only did they stuff the well with dirt, they covered it with a mound. So you don't even know the wells there. The enemy don't even want you to know where your wells are at. You actually have to be intentional and proactive to study the spiritual history of your region to begin to find out, because you're not gonna find out any other way. The enemy doesn't want you to know about wells. He doesn't want you to know. He wants you to think. This place has always been hard. Your place, wherever you're reaching out, whatever you're doing, it has always had witchcraft. It's always had perversion. It's always had things. Sexual confusion. It's always whatever. Because the enemy covers. So you're walking around, right, not even knowing there's a well right there. John Knox, we went to Scotland last year. John Knox has a parking lot built over his grave. It's like they don't even want you to know where the well is at. The enemy fights to disguise. There's a little plaque on a building about two blocks away or whatever, a block and a half away. But it's in this parking lot. He was buried. They built a parking lot over John Knox. That's crazy. But it's a fact that the enemy, he doesn't want you to see it. He wants to keep it. So now let me begin to land this by telling you. What makes you a well digger? What makes you a well digger? What makes me. Are you a well digger? Characteristics of a well digger, number one, is that you carry a scent for the flow of water. When you are a true well digger, you carry a scent for the spirit. You can get around something. You go, I don't think the Holy Spirit's in that. You could be something else. It may not be as awesome, may not be as spectacular, may not be as production filled. It could be simple, it could be whatever. It's like you, you know, you think of the people on the Voice, they turn four chairs. Something about the anointing. You can miss the note, but not miss the yoke. When you got the anointing on, you start singing lead worship. People start getting free. And then you smell like, hey, they may not turn one chair, but I smell the Holy Spirit on this. All of a sudden, Sean, this is something we've always done. We've always done it this way. Bless God is our tradition. But all of a sudden, you come into 20, 25. I don't sense the spirit of God on that. God is shifting us, and are we ready to shift or are we stuck to old traditions? Characteristic is you carry a scent of the spirit, number two, when you're a well digger, you reject a reservoir because you're after a river. You reject a reservoir. In other words, cisterns, they took us and we saw cisterns in Israel, but then they took us to a cistern that all 30 of us were. Was underground in a big, huge cistern. But I began to realize, right, cisterns are for collectors. Wells are for contenders. What we're contending for is bigger than anything that something. You reject a reservoir because all of a sudden we've had enough sistern Christianity. Safe, shallow, satisfied. We want something that is so God that only he could take credit for it. And finally, and it's kind of along this thought, when you're a well digger, you're focused on the flow, not the friction. Why would you get up early in the Morning and seek God at an early morning prayer time at your church, why would you do an all night prayer and begin to pray? Why would you fast and give up food and, you know, whatever at the beginning of the year, different parts of the year, or consistently do it, People say, Sean, you're disciplined. I don't know that I'm that disciplined. I like to believe I am. But you know what? It really is, right? I begin to make the connection that if I get the dirt out, there's water underneath that will begin to flow. It really is a payoff in this. As I'm going to early morning prayers, I begin to fast. As I begin to say no. There's a blessing of refusal when the enemy's trying to get you to, like, settle for stuff. It's not because I enjoy digging up dirt. It's that I enjoy the flow of water. And I think what it is saying is when you're focused on the flow, not the friction, you'll keep digging. Now I am going to close right now, though. I say that about three times. On the third time. I'm usually pretty good at that. I love that. Pass. Pass is saying you go. I think so often we take up complaints when we should be taking up shovels. I think we collect hurts when we need to be collecting water. And I'm wondering if we're not pulling out our shovels, the people that we lead won't be pulling out their shovels either. Follow me. We all get it. Will you bring your spoon to church because you want to get fed, but how can I get you to not just have the mentality to bring your spoon, but to bring your shovel? Yeah, it's about you getting fed, but it's about you seeing a flow. In that workplace, that university, that apartment complex, that outreach that you're a part of, how can I get you to replace the spoon with a shovel? And I think it comes back to us. It comes back to us because we have to understand there's a grind that releases the glory and we've got to help people see that. Now you hear me? There's certain things in the kingdom that you get. It's solely by grace. And there are other things in the kingdom, if you will. It's a if, then proposition. If my people are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, turn from the wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land. There's a grind in that, right? His yoke is easy, his burden is light. But it is a Yoke. And it is a burden. Thank you. Right. That if you don't understand. But this grind releases a glory. Oh, man. All right, you guys just have to forgive me. I woke up super early and flew directly from San Francisco after being stranded. I was supposed to be with you a day earlier. I was stranded in Dallas Fort Worth airport because of thunderstorms. Had to spend the night in my clothes because my luggage was already gone or however that works. The. He didn't even have a toothbrush. Toothpaste. I'm sleep deprived, so I know. I said I'll close, but how many? Give you about five more minutes. Okay, this is important. John, chapter four. I always read it and thought it was about God reaching out to this precious Samaritan woman. And Jesus, of course, would leave the 99 to go after the 1. But I thought it was just about impacting her life. And in that moment, reaching out to this woman, that obviously stuff was going on in her life and Jesus would do this. And all of a sudden I began to read and realize that it wasn't just God, Jesus reaching out to a woman at the well. But I submit to you that it was a revival storyline that began 1500 years earlier. Let me explain to you Genesis 12. It all connects everything. So that's why I'm glad you gave me five more minutes. Genesis 12, 6, 7. God, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him in the land he was at, the land of Canaan, which they tell us was Shechem. He says, I will give you this land and your descendants. And Abraham, what did he do? Built an altar. I told you, that's the first thing to do. He built an altar there. Then he dug a well there. Because identity activates inheritance. Understand who you are. Now he's doing this. So he's been given a promise that this land of Shechem is his and he's going to bless him and his descendants. Abram becomes Abraham, he has Isaac, he dies. We just read in the passage. So I just gave you the. The prequel, right? In Marvel Cinematic Universe prequel. So now the Philistines filled. Filled up the well. But there's a promise over that well. There's a covenant over that well. So Isaac re digs the well, the water flows. That's the end of this part of the story. But then Jacob comes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Because in John 4, it's called Jacob's well. You can't make this stuff up. Jacob comes to the end of his life to spare time. He obviously Says I don't want to be buried in Pharaoh's Egypt. Y' all got to take me out of by my father's well, and I want to be buried there. He understood covenant. So this is where he was buried. That's why it's called Jacob's well. It was originally Abraham's well, Isaac's well, Now Jacob's well. 1500 years earlier, Jesus said, I, I need to go to this well. I need. If you read it, he's going to a place before the woman ever gets there. I believe part of it was Jesus who, who is the well of heaven, is activating a covenant promise and redeeming a revival storyline 1500 years in the making. He walks over to, you know, that whole story. Can I have a drink? Hey, you, you know all this stuff, you don't have something to give me a drink with? Hey, if you. Anybody drink, some of you never thirst again, et cetera. This woman walks into Sicar, which is Shechem. Shechem is New Testament Sicar. Right. Walks in to her place in Samaria. There tells an entire city according to narrative. The bulk of the city, they all come and they go see Jesus and they come back and tell her, we don't just believe because of what you told us. We believe because we've seen for ourselves. And I'm telling you, it's a picture of what happens when a well is activated. It's a picture of the harvest that begins to come. Okay, now bow your heads. Bow your heads, Jesus, we just thank you, Father. We thank you, God, for your spirit, Lord. We thank you for your presence. We thank you, Lord. We bless you, Jesus. We bless you. You know, the young people use this term. My brother in the second row. You got a nice gray hoodie on if you look up right there. Yup. Bro. What's your name, sir? Randy. Stand up, Randy. Raymond. I'm sorry. Stand up, Raymond. Thank you for that. Oh, yeah, right there is fine. That's fine. Just lift your hand. Love your J's, man. Raymond, you know, the young people have a phrase that there's levels to this. There's a leadership thing on you, but there's levels to this. And God is about to level up. There is a yes of heaven over what you're putting your hand to. And the Lord is beginning to. It's like I see the ground underneath you is like a platform form that's enlarging even as we speak. There is this thing on you to lead. There's this thing on you to inspire, to encourage and the interesting thing about it is my sense in the spirit you prophesy according to how the transmission of Revelation came to you. My sense is, is that you're giving young people something you didn't always get on your own coming up. You're tapping into that redemptive prophetic encouragement thing on you. And I'm not just going to put it on the young generation, because I believe it's multiple generations thing on you. But the thing that I felt like the Lord, Raymond, wants me to call out on you is several things. Number one, wherever it is that you're at, there's a massive well, and the Lord says there's massive harvest. It is like those people coming in and coming back to the city. There is a. And you are playing a major part in a massive harvest. I feel like there are waves in this, Raymond. I feel like, first of all, you're gonna begin in the work that you put your hand to. You're gonna begin to see prodigals come home. There's gonna be a first wave that all of a sudden some people's gonna call, they're gonna say, hey, I've been praying for my grandson. I just found out, man. He just had encounter. Hey, I've been praying for my husband. He's been wayward, man. All of a sudden he's wanting to come back and honor covenant. You're gonna hear stories of people that maybe came up in church and they've gotten away, but the Lord is going to begin to do a thing. And as you see these prodigals come back, let it be a sign to you. And the prodigals aren't even the harvest. They're going to be foot soldiers for the harvest. And I see, I even see you, bro, going out on the streets. I even see you in public spaces sharing what is God is doing and sharing your testimony and sharing the Lord and God giving you. And I love this when I see this on people. I'm a student in this. I'm not an expert, but there's a mantle for prophetic evangelism on you. The Lord is going to begin to show you secrets of people's hearts. God. That verse says that God is going to give you a word no one will be able to gain Satan, no one will be able to resist. I believe there's going to be a word that will, for all intents and purposes be this word that is almost irresistible. Obviously, people can resist Holy Spirit, but God's going to begin to give you an irresistible word. But what makes. Makes the word irresistible is that you're going to be operating in words of knowledge and the prophetic, and people are going to feel known by the God before you. And the Lord is about to do an accelerated work, which when people say that, the truth be told, it was 20 years in the making, but all of a sudden something begins to quicken. And there's been some things that God has done, but I sense the Lord saying, I'm about to do this in quick fashion. And Raymond, watch. Just lift your hands up, bro. Father, I just thank you, God, right now that there's a new anointing, a fresh anointing coming upon Raymond. There's this leadership thing that I feel like it's just going to another level. I feel like there is this. God is putting, like the four lepers walking across the wilderness where their, their, their. Their sound was magnified where the. The Syrians and the Arameans thought there was an army marching on them. God is a potential about to put the mic to your movement and amplify your single steps of obedience. And in that, you're about to see the opening of Wells, Wells, Wells, Wells. Is that. I don't want to be presumptuous, but is the lady next to you, is she related to you, one of the worshipers? Something's on you too, sweetheart. Something is really mighty on you as well, and so you're carrying that as well. Lord, we just thank you, Father. We thank you for Raymond, our sister right here. I thank you for the presence and the power of God that rests on him. I declare that this word isn't just Sean trying to encourage someone. Lord, during worship, I looked over Adam and these exceptionally clear thoughts with the anointing of the Holy Spirit to where I had to get on my knees, hit me. And Lord, I just thank you that God, you're doing something so mighty, so powerful. And I just Bless him, Father, right now. Bless him right now. In Jesus name, Jesus name, Jesus name. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I've gone a little over. I feel like you're in this center section. There's actually 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 sections. I feel like you're in this center section. You're a female. You have a shooting pain up and down your left hip. It is sciatica. It's also something with your back. I feel like I see you, sis. I feel like you're towards the back part of this section. I see. It's almost like you're tossing and turning at night like you're trying to find a comfortable place. I feel like it's affecting your sleep. You sit down, you get fidgety, you stand up. But there's been this shooting pain in your left hip, lower back. I'm pretty convinced of the Lord that it is sciatica problem. Who. Who is that lady that has had this sciatica shooting pain problem with your hip? And I feel like you're towards the back part. Where are you that you slip. There you go. You're all the way in the back. Would you stand up, sis? I felt like the Lord said she's not the only one. There's someone else that's also right almost around this camera person as well. There's one. There you go. Stand up. Amen. Amen. I felt a draw right to that area. Can someone place your hand right there on her left hip and someone. Sir, place your hand. I presume that's your wife. And that's your wife. Don't touch your hip, bro. I'm telling you, I'm totally teased. I'm totally teasing. Put your hand on hip, Father. And, and. And Lord is so good at this. I. I've seen one word go forth. And I saw out of 13 kids that had hearing impairment, I saw 12 ears pop open off one word. And I'll be the first. I knew in part prophecy. I just thought it was one person. I thought I was calling out one person in this section. Who would have thought it was at a youth convention. So it was a lot of kids, but who would have thought 13 kids would had healing. Excuse me, hearing impairment. So Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, Psalms 107:30 says, you sent forth your word to heal. And God, his hands are on the left hip of these precious daughters of the most high. God. I just declare God, I don't understand a lot of the. The anatomical, I don't know, you would call it, but all of the different things, but I know this. There's pressure, pull, pushing on the sciatica nerve. We just command right now that there would not be a pressing pressing or pressure that you would loosen that. And Lord, we just declare there'd be no longer shooting pain. There would no longer be. There's also lower back. And one or both of you, there's also a shooting pain is also your hip, but also your lower back. And even at night sleeping. So I. Father, we declare these signs will follow them that believe that we will lay hands on the sickness sick and they shall recover. And Lord, we just declare Healing virtue, healing power. You took up their infirmities, you bore their sickness. And by Jesus stripes, they're made whole. So we really, come on, stretch your hands towards them, men and women of God. So we release Healing virtue right now and we say sciatica. Go healing. Come in the name of Jesus. And we declare to God that they will walk, they will jog, they will speed walk, they'll run if they want to. It will not be an issue. And the back and the back and the back will begin to loosen up. And we thank you, Father. In Jesus name. In Jesus name. I don't know if you could even just begin to move that left leg or kind of do something. Sometimes it helps to just check on it. I always, when I pray for people, I say, hey, check. How would you know you had a breakthrough? Try something that maybe would be different for you. One or both of you ladies, when we prayed, did you sense God? Did you feel like there was a touch of God that touched you in that area? My sister right here. Did you feel like the Lord touched you? Sis, it's okay to be honest. Did you feel? Yeah. You're nodding your head. Amen. Did you have pain when you came in? Either of you? What's it like right now? Like whatever your pain was before, what I'm looking for, if it was like a seven, is it like zero, one, something two or something like that? How? Not sure it's a two. Zero. Okay, we'll take that. Come on, I need hearing, healing right now. I'm hearing the wrong name and zero. How about you, sis? Is there any level of pain you're sensing? You're zero. Okay. Come on, Lord. Hey. All right, we're getting to the point where parents have to pick up their kids. I probably should land this a little bit, but I want to keep going. Oh, Lord o'. Clock, I gotta remember that one. Amen. Amen. I don't know how these four numbers land. And I like to step out and anyone. My wife has heard this many a times. I like to move so far out on the limb I could hear it snap behind me. I. I write this in a book, prophetic evangelism. I walked into. I'm telling you how God can take a clueless dude that had a fear of public speaking. That's a left. I'm not a loser. I'm a left brain, analytical, linear thinking guy. And move him towards my wife is more right brain, artsy, more creative, more musical, all of that. And she flows in the prophetic and it's like, so easy. And years ago, I. I began to see the impact this had on university students. And I threw my tracks down. Not that there's anything wrong with this back in the day where you used tracks. And I started getting words of knowledge from people. And I walked into a psychic. I may tell you the whole story. I walked into a psychic store and walked out with a woman given tarot card reading Wiccan lady, completely delivered. Because God gave me three very specific things about her. The title of my book is I am your sign. The Lord asked me to walk up to this lady and say, I'm your sign. Those are. And there were two more accurate things about her. She said, last night, I was crying out to the cosmos, send me a sign. I'm walking past Monterey, California is New age California. I'm walking past a store with a pastor, and the Lord says, you got an assignment. I walk in there, walk over to the lady and says, I am your sign. She starts crying. I said, when you were young, you had a bad experience with Christianity. You end up moving in with the Eastern guru that you thought was going to nurture you, but instead he ended up abusing you, got thrusted out. All you could do is do to roll cards. Number three. The Lord says, when you were young, you had a dream, but you let go of the dream when you got hurt and wounded, and now you're living life by default. And God says, if you let go the default, I'll give you a dream back. She says with a lineup of women in front of a tarot card reader at a New age bookstore in Monterey, California. She said, how did you know? And I said, jesus, right? We grab hands on her little table, black tablecloth. She had a devil card. I don't know how many devil cards is in the deck, but I just turned it over. Because we don't let the devil know his place in this. We grab hands. She commits her life to Christ. She renounces divination. She starts weeping. She quits the job, says, I'll never do this again. Walks to the counter, gets her final check, comes up to me, says, do you know a good church? I go, pastor and wife, come over here. This is your pastor right here. They got a pastor right here. This. So what I'm saying is, you don't. You got to take crazy risks and you got to lose your reputation. So here's four digits. Sometimes their birth dates, sometimes their Social Security number. I one time, God gave me entire Social Security number. No one responded. I didn't understand why they wouldn't respond. I see a woman doing her husband. He kind of like power of God hits him, he falls out into power. But the Lord began to deal with me. There's a reason why they only asked for the last four of your social. We all, we all love the Lord. But it could be one unsanctified person. And that's all it takes, right? I see the numbers almost like there were two like football players coming out of a tunnel together. And it was 7249. 7249. This is where I'm letting you know. I know in part. And I'm prophesying apart. I don't know how this lands. I don't know if you're 7-24-09 or something like that. That was one of your kids birthdays. I don't know 7 if that's part of your social, phone number, address. I just know that I've got a word associated with that. And if it's not yours, if you have to flip the numbers, don't rescue me. It's not a rescue moment. I. If I missed it, I. I'll go back before the Lord. But I saw the number 7249. Who does that apply to? 72249 sometimes access code, last four of your social. Does that mean anything to anybody? Meaning I got another one after that. But I'll wait, I'll pause just a moment. Sometimes I do this. I don't think it's here. Y' all are mature group. But sometimes I do it and a person will come up to me, laugh afterwards, and I'll go, I'll pray for you. And I think that's awesome. But there's something about your obedience to the proximity of the word coming to you that opens the well for the greatest blessing and flow in your life. So one last time. 7249. 7249. Okay. I saw that clearly. And I feel like somehow that connects. Lord, I just pray as you just wanted to place on my heart that the 7249, that there was like a series of lights. And all of a sudden, I don't know if this is on nascar. I don't know if it's just in a neighborhood. But all of the lights were green as opposed to when you're out of the sequence, you're stopping at this light, you just missed that light. Now you gotta wait on a red light. And it's like for 7249, I just felt like the Lord says it's a go season, and I just saw green lights on multiple intersections. And so, Lord, however that word lands, and whoever it lands, feel free to come up to me. I'll be encouraged. Otherwise, I'll be in a hotel on my face going, did I miss you? And flop that bad, Lord, but I'm okay with that. But at the same time, I feel strong enough that I would deliver that. All right. One final thing. I felt like there's two things over in this section going on. One, there's a gentleman that you've got some sort of digestive thing. I'm not talking acid reflux. I don't know if it's a diverticulitis. I don't know if it's a colitis. I don't know if it's something. But you're increasingly, sir, finding yourself where you're eating stuff and your stomach's just getting tore up and like there is some sort of issue going on. It's lower. It's a digestive issue. And my sense is right here in this immediate section. If you're in the risers or you're here, we will certainly pray for you. But my draw is right here in this area right here, that there's a lower upper intestinal is where the issue is at. So it's not here. It's right there. That's. That's. So who is that? Would you stand up? Amen. Amen. Awesome. Can someone right by begin to place your hand right there on my brother's abdominal area? Oh, you can do that? Yes. Amen. And I feel like too. And I feel like you might be in the risers. There's a woman over there that you have vertigo. You have a dizzy issue. In fact, more very recently, it's like you got up and you felt like the room was spinning on you, and you've had some episodes of dizziness. And I feel like there's a blood deficiency too, that God is healing. But you're a female. My draw is right up here in the risers. But. But you're fighting some dizzy spells and some things that's going on. Disorientation. Who is that woman right there? Amen. Someone by her. Place your hand on her head. Place your hand on. We'll pray. Father, in the name of Jesus. We just pray for our brother. Abdominal area. We just declare shalom of heaven. We disclaim the peace of God. We declare that God, whatever digestive issues or problems, we declare God right now. And I don't Necessarily prophesy this very often, but I'm not opposed to it anything like that. But it's almost like I want to hit your pockets and say they'll never be empty. I just feel like the Lord is doing a provisional thing in the area of finances. And I'm not saying that this stomach is connected to a money thing, but sometimes stress and worried about some things sometimes can affect you. And I just feel like the Lord wants you to know I got that financial situation. I got you covered. You're sleeping at night. We Proverbs 3, when you lie down, you are rest, your sleep will be sweet. And we just declare of your abdominal areas, your wife's hand right there. Healing power, healing virtue. It's like, I feel like the Lord is standing up in your boat, sir, and saying, peace be still to your digestive problem, all that area. And Lord, doctors are going to confirm what we know the great physician does. We pray for our sister, your hands lightly upon her head, if you will. Father, we just declare in the name of Jesus. I don't understand how all of this works, but. But, Lord, whatever would affect our equilibrium that would cause a vertigo, a dizziness, dizzy spells, disorientation, getting up and feeling like whatever. And also something in your blood, Father, I don't know if it's an iron deficiency or something with the blood. Lord, blood and dizziness both are getting healed. In the name of Jesus. And we thank you, Father. You are her Jehovah. Rafa will bless the Lord. Oh, my soul. Forget none of his benefits, pardons all our iniquities, heals all, all, all our diseases. In Jesus name, Amen. Amen. I know I'm with you tomorrow, so I don't want to. There we go. Close it right now. Go ahead. Come on. Oh, yeah. I'm just gonna do one last thing. Okay. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I just simply want to pray for you right where you're at. But I want to ask you, even if you'll stand, if you're saying, I'm ready to get my shovel out, Sometimes the enemy hits you so hard, you're ready to get your suitcase out. And I feel like God says, don't get your suitcase. Get your shovel. That Lord is about to do something. I feel like there are people that are hungry for a greater outpouring expression of the Holy Ghost, that you want floods to hit your dry ground, that you maybe even personally in your own walk. Not. I'm not saying. This is not. I'm not saying that you're a coasting Christian. But I feel like sometimes we can get in seasons where we're coasting when God says no, it's time to host. Be a hosting Christian, not a coasting Christian. That we want to host the move of God. So, Father, just lift your hands up, Father. We just declare all across this space, Lord, the anointing of the most high God would come upon your sons and daughters. I pray in the name of Jesus that God, that you would begin to stir our hearts for revival. Not some sort of Lord, idealic, Pollyanna kind of pie in the sky, but. But, Lord, a revival that would begin to equip, begin to inflame. A revival that is not an event or special series of meetings, but a lifestyle that we would walk and we would lead people to walk in. I declare that there would be a new flow underneath the spaces and places you've got your sons and daughters. That, Lord, the word would get out in communities. That, Lord, you need to come to this Elim church because the spirit of God is moving and flowing. And I just declare. Place your hand over your belly right now, Father. We just declare. If there's been anything closed up in us, we say to the wells, even in us, open up. I believe that the Lord opens wells in us and we're anointed to open wells around us. So we declare, lord, even out of our innermost being shall flow rivers of living water. And if we're not seeing the flow, I don't mean starting and stopping. I don't mean sometimes, every now and then we see someone baptized in the Holy Ghost, someone get delivered. Lord, we are contending for the flow of heaven in and through us. God and Father, finally I pray if by any chance there's weariness sometimes they've been so faithful with the shovel. The warfare has increased and it's just shovel fatigue. Like we've been shoveling, hitting the dirt, and that dirt's hard. We've been sweating. But Lord, I thank you, God. That Lord, that somehow in the midst of it, it won't be the sweat of the dig, Lord. It will be an understanding that God is not about the toil. It's about the oil, God. And we just declare the oil of the Holy Ghost, Lord. That would right now quicken us, Lord. They would put oil on their face and it was like. I don't know what it would be, but the Old Testament they would describe put oil in your face. It's almost like it was like caffeine for their face. It was like they would enliven I just declare the oil of the Spirit will begin to quicken I declare God a new wind in our sails I declare new stirring in our spirit I declare I break off weariness I break off discouragement I declare in the name of Jesus there's a fire and a desire to run to run in Jesus name.
