[0:00] Have you ever heard someone say to you, "You are just like your mother," or "You're just like your father," but you weren't quite sure whether it was a compliment or not? You are part of an ongoing story, a story that began even before your parents and your grandparents, and your story carries on through your children. Some of the things we pass down to our children are beautiful, but some are bondage, and together this is legacy. Here's the truth: you don't just pass on what you know or even what you teach.

[0:51] You also pass on the condition of your soul, those things on the inside of you. Your inner life becomes a prototype for your children and your grandchildren. And what you don't deal with, they will have to Morning, church. Well, it's an honor and a privilege for us to bring this message to you. May God bless you with it. Several years ago I was living in fear and unworthiness and a lot of regret, and things were not good, struggling with our marriage, struggling in our finances, and really my relationship with the Lord was really, really strained.

[1:41] But then one day out of the blue, my two beautiful daughters called me and said, "Dad, can we have a coffee?" And I'm, "Yes, of course." And they said something that stopped me cold. They said, "Dad, we don't think you're living the rich and abundant life that God has for you." Wow, that was hard to hear. But after thinking about it for about 10 seconds, I said, "You know what? You're absolutely right." And that moment was a wake-up call for both me and ended up for Debbie and our whole family. And it began a journey that really led us here today. Could I be so bold this morning to ask you the same question?

[2:27] Is it possible that you're not living the rich and abundant life that God has for you? Well, I asked my daughters, "Okay, I agree. What do I do about it?" They read some scripture and they said, "Well, you need to call a friend of the family. He's a pastor and he's expecting your call." He was the one that gave us the scripture. I thought, "Gosh, they're pretty sure of themselves, weren't they?" Well, I met with him and he said, "Brian, the abundant life is absolutely available, but it begins on the inside. It begins with surrendering your heart to the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to cleanse and heal and restore you. Then He fills you on the inside and then flows out, restoring and transforming every part of your life," and I went, "Wow."

[3:18] For the first time in a long time, I knew what I needed to do to change my life. I had a plan while he and his wife began to teach Debbie and I how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit, to have our souls healed. It was a process, but that's when I realized something. I knew God loved me, but only on an intellectual level. And that was enough for the beginning of my journey. But eventually I realized I was starving for more. I was starving for something deeper. You can quote scripture, you can agree with it mentally and still feel lonely, afraid and ashamed.

[4:04] You can know about God's love and still feel unloved. That's not God's heart for us. It actually quenches the Holy Spirit. But that's where I live for 25 years. And some of you may be living there right now, but you don't have to stay there. We've learned that there are deeper levels of God's love that He wants to bring us into. I resisted for so many years. I love the world too much. I had my plans and my dreams. I just didn't wanna let go of them. But when I was finally ready to let go, God sent somebody to help. Maybe that's why you're here today. Wow. Our message today is the path we took to restore our soul and our children's inheritance of blessings and love.

[4:59] And you can do it for your family too. Now, just a note, if you're not a parent, this message will give you the steps to a blessed life. So all good. And if you're a brand new Christian or maybe you're just checking out, you know you're not a Christian yet, you're just checking it out, that's okay. But this is gonna be a lot today for you. Just know that God loves you. He has a plan for your life. Wow. So Debbie, why isn't intellectual knowledge of God's love enough? Well, as you said, intellectual knowledge is a great place to start. But let's have a look at Ephesians chapter 3, verses 18 and 19.

[5:49] And I love this in the Passion Translation. It says, "Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences." Who are the holy ones? That's you and me, those of us who have Jesus living in us. "So we are to experience the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions, how deeply intimate and far-reaching is His love. How enduring and inclusive it is, endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding. This extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God."

[6:43] Now, a lot of you would recognize that better from another translation. Let's look at just verse 19: "To know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." Well, when we look at this scripture in the Greek, Paul is actually showing us that God's love is meant to be experienced, not just understood. It passes knowledge. The word "to know," to know the love of Christ, comes from the Greek word ginosko, and it means to know, to feel, to experience. It's the same word used in Genesis chapter 4 where it says that Adam knew Eve, his wife, and she conceived.

[7:35] This is intimacy beyond information, experiencing God's love personalizes your relationship with Him, and that changes everything. The Greek word "be filled with the goodness of the fullness of God" means to fill completely to the brim. God doesn't have do anything. We are meant to know, feel, experience the supernatural love of God, filled to overflowing. What's your biggest concern today? Is it your marriage, your kids, your career, your finances, your health?

[8:27] Do you live in fear or chaos or loneliness? This love, this astonishing love of Christ that passes knowledge, meets your needs and transforms your life and your legacy. This is the love you want to pass on to your children. Wow. To leave a legacy of love, you must understand how to transmit love to the next generation. Legacy moves through us, the good and the bad. About 85% of what we pass on flows from the condition of our soul, and it affects our children emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.

[9:23] The transmission of legacy happens in four primary ways. Sowing and reaping: our children reap what we sow, whether blessing or struggle. Home environment: is your home filled with joy or unhealed pain, peace or fear? Your deep-rooted values, habits, and beliefs shape your child's inner world. Epigenetics: strengths like music and struggles like bondage can influence what is passed on through gene expression. It actually gets in the DNA of the children, affecting mental health, metabolism, cognition, and physical health even. And then demonic interference. The enemy tempts the next generation to partner with your unhealed wounds, your unrepentant sin, and the lies you believe.

[10:16] The enemy knows that where there's curses or wounds or lies that exist, faith is weakened and identity is lost. It's like having cracks in the foundation. Wow. But the number one way to cancel the enemy's power and transmit God's love to your children and on to your descendants long after you're gone is God's legacy plan. Did you know God has a legacy plan? Praise God. We're gonna tell you all about it. In Genesis 17, God tells Abraham, "I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come."

[11:03] Family is God's idea. God ties covenant, identity, protection, and promises to family lines over and over again. We hear in Scripture, you've heard it, "I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." That tells us something about how God thinks. In Genesis 12, God says, "In you, all the families of earth shall be blessed." Abraham's blessing was generational. And Paul tells us in Galatians that every believer inherits Abraham's blessing through Christ. God repeatedly stacks blessings before us and says, "Choose My blessed life."

[11:50] But there's more. In Exodus 20 we read, "But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love Me and obey My commandments." This is one of God's if-then promises. It has conditions. God says, "If you do this, I will do that." And when the conditions are met, the promise is released to a thousand generations in this particular promise. So what is unfailing love? If that's what's being released to a thousand generations, what is it? The Hebrew word for unfailing love is hesed. It carries covenant power and spiritual covering.

[12:35] It sets your children up for a blessed life. It isn't symbolic language. No, this is legal. It gets written in heaven. This unfailing love creates a spiritual advantage for you and your descendants. Lemme explain it. It keeps your descendants' hearts soft and responsive to God. It weakens generational bondage in your descendants. It invites God's active pursuit of your future generations. It shifts family trajectories by depositing mercy into family lines. It plants spiritual memory into generations you'll never ever meet. Can anybody say wow again? Wow.

[13:25] Wow. Okay. It's like a glory cloud of God's love that follows your family, bending them toward holiness, bending them toward salvation, toward God's plan for their life. This is what we're talking about here: unfailing love, and it only takes one believer who chooses to love God fully to activate it. How do we love God fully? Well, Jesus is our example, right? Let's look at John 14:30. Jesus says, "The prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me. He has nothing in common with Me. There's nothing in Me that belongs to him, and he has no power over Me."

[14:12] When you have nothing in common with the enemy, your heart is aligned with God, God's heart. No wounds, no lies, no unresolved brokenness. The enemy has nothing to work with, so that, so he has no power over you. It kind of sounds impossible, right? But I'll explain how you can walk it out one small step at a time. It is possible, but don't miss this. Having nothing in common with the enemy activates God's promises of legacy. It positions your family inside a blessing cycle for a thousand generations. This is God's heart for you. This is the legacy you were meant to leave.

[14:58] This is your promised land for you and your children. I think some of you are thinking, oh boy, this is another message on surrender. Like, we have gone over and over this. I've done this over and over again. What's wrong with me? What have I not done it right? Have I not done it all? Have I surrendered and then taken it back? Why am I still stuck? Why am I still living in fear and shame? And the short answer is, well, all of us are living inside a story that started generations ago: generational sin and curses, things like shame and fear and poverty and control and sexual perversion and anger and addiction and pride.

[15:52] And it goes on. There are so many. These things often pass down family lines until someone finally says, "No more, Satan," and someone can be you. Today. It's time that we expose how these generational lies and ties have contaminated and blocked the blessing cycle in our families. But here, this clearly, this is not your fault. I didn't start the cycle. Brian didn't start the cycle, and you didn't start the cycle. But by the power of Jesus in you, you can break the cycle.

[16:41] I used to believe that all ancestral curses were automatically broken the moment I got saved. Jesus did indeed die for my salvation, my healing, and my deliverance. But I learned that I still had to engage my will to meet His conditions, to receive what He paid for. In Exodus 20, we read, "I lay the sins of the parents upon their children. The entire family is affected, even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject Me." Just as there are automatic blessings, God has built in automatic consequences for sin.

[17:33] That iniquity moves down the family line to you, or affecting five generations. It comes from your ancestors to you, and then you pass it on to your children and their children down four more generations. This iniquity, it doesn't force you or your kids or your descendants to sin, but it twists the heart. It creates this pressure toward rebellion and disobedience. Brian talked about the glory cloud of God's legacy plan, but this puts a dark cloud over your family, and it bends your heart toward the enemy.

[18:19] And here's the kicker. It actually doesn't stop at five generations, because every generation that sins restarts the cycle, and it continues until someone invites Holy Spirit to break it. And this breaks God's heart. This is not what He wants for us. But the enemy tells us everyone has pain. Yours could be worse, and he lulls us into non-compliance. This dark cloud numbs our conscience and dulls our awareness of sin and its consequences.

[19:05] If you were to look back for generations, that would be about 30 people, you'd likely see that this dark cloud has patterns that repeat in people's behavior. In my family, I saw anger and pride and stubbornness, and even when I saw it, I put up with it. I even continued it. It was familiar. I didn't know how to live differently. I mean, everyone sins, right? So I just left it alone. If you don't know the speed limit of a particular road and you break the speed limit and you get a ticket, none of us love it, right?

[19:54] But it is the law. In the same way, ancestral sin and its consequences affects us whether we understand it or not. Every ungodly choice made by grandparents, grandparents, and great-grandparents shaped your life. Wow. When they chose sin over faith, it impacted you. And now you are impacting what your children, your grandchildren, and your great-grandchildren will have to deal with. But God is merciful. He is always ready to forgive when His conditions are met. And He's always leading us away from curses and into blessings. But if you're unable to walk fully in the blessings because another ancestor opened the door to a curse that led you into bondage, you see, God sent Jesus to break generational curses, but we have to want to be free.

[20:54] Someone has to take a stand, someone has to break the curse and release the blessing. Will you be the person in your family? I don't know where, but somewhere in my family line, a seed of anger was planted. Now, I do know that my great-grandfather was a harsh and angry man. My grandfather was very kind, but his anger led him to alcohol. My mother loved God, but she yelled and I became a yeller too. I had so many triggers that would set me off: disobedient kids, slow kids, an unhelpful husband, a house that was never as tidy as I wanted it to be.

[21:55] You know, once Brian said to me, it really bothers me when you yell at the kids. His mother was this beautiful woman of grace and dignity. I didn't quite measure up. He said, it really bothers me when you yell at the kids. And I went, Mom was a yeller. I am a yeller. It's just the way I am. Sunday mornings were the worst. No one moved with urgency. I felt like yelling was the only way to motivate them to get out the door. I mean, I knew it wasn't healthy, but I felt powerless to stop. Every time I yelled, shame followed.

[22:40] Now I'm carrying anger and shame and the enemy keeps whispering, you are failing as a mother. Your kids deserve better than one day. Brian said to me, when you yell at the kids, it's like you put a knife in my heart and then you twist it. I went, whoa, this is really important to this guy. And I really tried to change. I'd do great for a week and then Sunday would come and I'd yell again and Brian would just roll his eyes as if to say, she will never change. And the shame went deeper. Years later, I learned how generational curses pull people into bondage cycles.

[23:29] A curse is like a GPS. It sets a path and convinces you that it's the best route. It's going to get you there the fastest way. You can choose a new direction. But when you do, the enemy keeps saying, rerouting, rerouting, rerouting, trying to pull you back into his plan. The lie I believed was that anger's not so bad. It's not really serious, but anger is rarely the root. It's just the fruit of unresolved pain. Anger often surfaces from feelings of powerlessness, either when trust is broken or safety is lost.

[24:19] So the deeper lies I was believing were I can't rely on anyone. God didn't show up for me when I really needed Him, and I have to protect myself. I couldn't just stop being angry by trying harder. I mean, willpower isn't real power. A wound stays a wound until it meets the love of the Father. That transforming love of God, with the Holy Spirit's help, I uncovered the root. Now, yes, the sin, the bent towards the sin came down through my ancestors. But the moment I partnered with it for the first time, it became my sin.

[25:10] My anger needed my root to be uncovered. When I confessed and repented for this sin and the sins of my ancestors, the curse was broken and the Holy Spirit cleansed my soul. Suddenly, God's love filled me in all the places where anger once lived. The bondage cycle starts when we make a choice outside of God's will. For me, I chose to partner with anger. I yelled, and from there pain followed and pain gives birth to lies.

[25:57] God doesn't care. I'm just not enough. And these thoughts became strongholds that shaped how I saw God, others, and myself. When you believe a lie, you open the door to the enemy. And that's how oppression begins through torment and confusion and isolation. And the lies become so loud that God's voice is muted. For me, it was the small things, the little daily things that triggered big reactions, or should I say explosions? I'm not quite sure. A toy in the middle of the kitchen floor, a lost shoe on a Sunday morning, or spilled milk anytime.

[26:50] But the trigger was never the problem. The wound was the problem. The behavior was only a symptom of brokenness. And without healing, the cycle repeats. But Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted. The Holy Spirit knows every wound and every stronghold, and He breaks every chain and every cycle. Okay, are you ready to learn the steps that will release God's unfailing love, His legacy plan to a thousand generations and shift your family line? If you're ready, say, I'm ready.

[27:36] It starts with your identity as a priest and your responsibility to clean the temple, and when you take this just one step at a time, it's not as hard as it sounds. Remember, God's yoke is easy and His burden is light. Light. When we trust Him, the work gets lighter. In Exodus 25, God said, let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them. God wanted a home with His people, but He never intended to stay in buildings made by human hands. Jeremiah 31 points to His desire to dwell within His people. Peter confirms this when he calls his body a tabernacle and Paul says it very plainly, you are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

[28:30] Solomon's temple had three parts: the most holy place, the holy place, and the outer court. This is also a picture of you. You are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body at salvation. Your spirit is joined with the Holy Spirit in perfect harmony. It's a new creation. It's amazing. You have His nature. This is the most holy place, but God also wants to flow freely into your soul and into your body. The whole temple. He wants to be in you and on you and around you. He wants to rule where you live, where you love, where you make decisions, where you feel and experience the world.

[29:17] He wants to bless you in this life and He wants that blessing to pass on to your descendants. Also under the new covenant, you're not only the temple, you are also a royal priest. Now, if you're a new Christian, you might take a minute to get your head around that. I'm a royal priest, so what's my responsibility as a priest? Ezekiel 44:23 says, the priest must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the clean and the unclean. In other words, between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world. In Matthew 21, we're all familiar with this story. Jesus entered the temple and He drove out the corruption, overturned the tables and said, "My house will be called a house of prayer."

[30:07] Jesus was acting as a priest. He was passionate about cleansing and protecting God's dwelling. And as a priest, you're also a carrier of God's glory, a vessel of the Holy Spirit and a gateway between heaven and earth. Wow. Your responsibility is to keep what is of the world, out of the temple of the world or the kingdom of this world, out of God's kingdom. The temple. When Solomon dedicated the temple, we remember this story. It's amazing. In the Old Testament, we read God's glory filled the temple so strongly that the priests had to stop ministering.

[30:56] But later, when sin defiled the temple, the glory lifted. Not because God stopped loving His people, but because His holy presence is not hosted where impurity and bondage rule. As His temple, you and me, it is God's plan that we are filled with His glory, and we can go back to that first scripture that Debbie read, Ephesians, to be filled with the fullness of God, spirit, soul, and body. I can hear your thoughts. You're thinking that sounds impossible. I could never be good enough to carry the glory of God.

[31:44] It is possible. It is possible. I know that from personal experience, but it is a process. But this has nothing to do with you being good enough. This is God's plan for your life. He made a way for you to experience His presence through the Holy Spirit in you. Jesus said, "It is better for you that I go." Why? It must have sounded crazy to the disciples, right? Why? Because now the Holy Spirit comforts you, teaches you, helps you, guides you into truth, gives you gifts and releases power from inside out. Do you know the Holy Spirit is a person?

[32:30] Holy Spirit is a person. He is both the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Jesus living in you. He is with you from now until eternity. I could spend an hour or two talking about how the Holy Spirit and I live life together 24 hours a day. It's the most beautiful thing. When you are filled with the fullness of God and you live your life with Holy Spirit as your best friend, make Him your best friend. Well, when you cooperate with Him to clean out the temple, you make the choice. Alright? You have a will. You make the choice.

[33:16] He does the work because He is power. He is power. He's dunamis power, which is where we get our word dynamite. He is power. Solomon's temple had about 90 rooms that the priests had to keep clean and holy. Those 90 rooms are a picture or a foreshadow. Some people think of the many rooms in our heart where desecration or defilement or bondage can hide, and I mean hide. That's the enemy's strategy. He doesn't want us looking in all those rooms. How many, people you know, visit every room in your house? So sometimes we keep doors closed. We don't wanna look inside because we don't wanna find out what's in there.

[34:04] Rooms can look like roles we live out, son or daughter, husband or wife, sister or brother, church member, volunteer, student, employee. On and on. Which rooms are clean and which rooms are defiled? That's part of your responsibility to find out. For example, there can be unresolved wounds. Those wounds could be unrepented sin, unforgiveness, lies that still need healing, in the son room between you and your father or mother, in the husband room between you and your wife, in the employee room between you and your boss or another employee.

[34:55] So what are the symptoms of an unclean room? How do we know we have an unclean room? Well, this is not a complete list for sure, but it gives you an idea: emotional wounds that bring real pain. I mean, real pain, ungodly behaviors, ungodly perspective, toxic thinking. Even pain and sickness can be a symptom of a defiled room. Dr. Caroline Leaf calls symptoms warning signals. These are signals telling us something in your soul needs healing or it will be passed on to the next generation. Every weakness you tolerate, every flaw you've accepted as, "Oh, that's just the way I am."

[35:46] It traces back to one of those rooms, one of those defiled rooms. When those rooms are cleansed, the strong parts of who God created you to be, they get stronger and stronger and stronger and more beautiful and they shine. And the weak parts, the parts that we really don't like about ourselves because they're the weak parts. They get weaker and weaker and weaker until they disappear. Finally, the cleansing process is simple and powerful. 2 Corinthians 10:4, it says, the weapons we fight with have divine power to demolish strongholds, to demolish.

[36:32] Bondage, lies, unforgiveness. God's power is what we need. It's not true that you have too many rooms to clean. It's not true, but it's also not true that you have no rooms to clean. Here are the steps. You start by surrendering one room at a time. Remember I talked about steps, baby steps, one room at a time. The Holy Spirit reveals the root. You repent and forgive. He reveals some memory or the trauma. Jesus heals the wound. He exposes the lie and replaces it with truth. You command the enemy to leave. We call that eviction day.

[37:20] You ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with Himself. When I took my priestly role of temple cleansing seriously, I began to experience the fullness of God. And you can too. Every room you cleanse establishes a deeper legacy of love and impacts your life and your descendants' life. I promise you will see improvements and increase in faith, identity, confidence, emotional and physical health, relationships, rest, wisdom, strength, peace, joy, purpose, favor.

[38:06] And I could go on and on and on. Your life will be totally transformed. It's like paint by numbers that transforms God's canvas of you one room at a time into the image of Jesus. As I said earlier, I do believe that many of you have tried to surrender everything to God, but you still feel stuck. Again, the problem isn't you. The problem is the "everything," you know, "I surrender all." I mean, it's a great song, has great intent, but surrender must be targeted.

[38:51] Indeed, we are to surrender all. But it doesn't happen all at once. It happens one room at a time. Each room has a root that must die. That's how freedom lasts. Brian and I have made nothing in common with the enemy, our top priority. This is how we leave a legacy of blessing to our children. We have said no to Satan for our family line. We have humbled ourselves. We've broken generational sin and we've restored our children's inheritance. Sometimes it was hard.

[39:37] We failed many times and we're still on this journey, but the fruit is undeniable. Our four children and our four in-law children all love and serve God. Some of them are in full-time ministry. Our 14 grandchildren. Yeah, you heard that right? Yep. I got 14. Yep. Our 14 grandchildren are being raised in homes where God's presence rules. Our two oldest grandchildren are right now each leading a mission team in the Middle East. You can be praying for them before Christmas. Two granddaughters from different families in the same week sent me a text and said, "Nana, is there something I can pray for you for?"

[40:32] Wow. Then Brian and I received this text from a granddaughter last week, and I have permission. She and her sister and 15 of her public school friends were starting a weekly Bible study. And she says, "Hi, Grampy and Nana, can you be praying that God heals and delivers us and our friends and everyone at our high school, and that He would teach us how to follow Him and make disciples and make us leaders in His kingdom, and that He would protect us from the enemy and reveal His truth and love and heart to us, and that He would unleash His glory and love and start a huge revival at our high school."

[41:19] Right? Right. How many of you wanna text like that from your grandkids? Also, I love the depth of this. "Also be praying a lot against pride, gossip, lust, false teaching, demonic influence, lies and shame in our lives." And then she closes with, "Sorry, that's a lot," and lots of emojis. Our grandchildren are already aware that God wants us to experience His love. Our grandkids are hungry to be filled with the fullness of God. We are starting to see the blessings to a thousand generations in our grandchildren.

[42:10] God's legacy plan is powerful and it works. Brian and I have invested thousands of dollars, traveled thousands of miles, and spent thousands of hours pursuing freedom and excellence of soul, or nothing in common with the enemy. Pastor Jim has asked us to bring all of that together and condense it into what we're calling Tidal Restore. We can help you clean your rooms and restore your soul and restore your inheritance of blessing, your legacy of blessing to your children and grandchildren.

[43:00] If you, we obviously can't get into all the details of Tidal Restore, but if you want to learn more about Tidal and you, how a role you can play in it or how you can benefit from its ministry, would you take a comment card in the seat back in front of you and just write "Restore," your name and your email and we will certainly get back to you. You can leave it with an usher on the way out or bring it forward to the altar in a few minutes. There's also a QR code on the screen if you wanna do it that way. And obviously, because we know we can't take care of every room in every person from up here or even the 10 minute prayer down there.

[43:45] But today, you can activate God's legacy plan in your life. We believe the Holy Spirit has highlighted one room for you today. One plan, one pain, one memory, one wound, one curse. And the prayer team can help you with that one room. Have you heard God speak this morning? Are you the one in your family to stand up and break the curse and release the blessing? Are you ready to restore your children's inheritance of blessing and love to shift your family's legacy?

[44:36] Then stand up right now where you're seated. Stand up where you're seated. Stand up. Stand up and show God that you're the one in your family that's gonna be the one all over, all over this sanctuary, in the balcony, in the back. And if you're still not decided, if you're still wondering, is this for me? Can I do, this is probably the biggest question. I want you to search through your thoughts. We're always bombarded by a lot of thoughts, some from the enemy, some from our soul and our bondage. But there's always the whisper of the Holy Spirit who's saying the truth.

[45:22] He's the one that you could trust. Trust that whisper, search through your thoughts. Now, I believe that God is saying, "You're the one." I believe He's saying it's your time. You may be telling yourself, "I'm just not good enough. I'm not strong enough. I'm not bold enough, I'm not hungry enough." But once you learn to cooperate with the Holy Spirit, He brings the power. All you have to bring is your yes. So stand up and be the one. I believe God is bringing a revival in this church, in this city, in this country. He's pouring out His Spirit upon His people in such a powerful way.

[46:09] And maybe the prayer team could come up front. Now, just standing up says a lot to God. God's looking and saying, "Wow, they're standing up." But to seal that commitment, to make that commitment before God, I'm gonna ask you to come forward and fill this whole front of this church, fill the front of this church and just to show God how really serious you are about being the one that shifts your family legacy. Come from the balcony, come from the back of the church, come from the sides, come from every place. Come to the front and just do some business with God.

[46:56] Kneel at the front. Or you could just stand and or you can go to the prayer team, but come and show God, I'm the one. I ignored the Holy Spirit's voice for 25 years and it hurt my family. He was trying to prepare my heart to be filled with God's fullness. But I settled for easy, and my family paid the price. When you step forward, you're saying, I want Nothing in common with the enemy. I want my children to have the spiritual advantage of God's unfailing love. And if you're watching online this morning, stand up, make that commitment to God as you come.

[47:45] I'm gonna pray a prayer of repentance. And as you can, keep walking, keep walking toward the front of the church. Fill this, I believe that in this front of this church being full, so many who are standing, come to the front. It's always better at the front. But I'm gonna pray a prayer for repentance, for hanging onto the enemy's influence and quenching the Holy Spirit. And if you agree with my words at the end, you can just say amen. But just come, keep coming. Holy Spirit, thank You that You want to bless me and my family. Thank You for being my helper and teacher.

[48:30] Thank You for giving me the desire and the power to do what pleases You. And thank You that what pleases You is a clean heart. Create in me a clean heart. Oh God, I repent and confess for all the ways I have agreed with the plans of the enemy. I confess and I repent for quenching You and not learning to hear and follow Your voice. I ask You to break the hold of the enemy that the enemy has on me. I say, no more. I choose You and the plans You have for me. God, reveal the rooms in the places that need Your healing touch. I wanna be a vessel of honor, wholly and set apart, useful for Your service and the eternity of my family.

[49:21] I ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, and all who agree, say amen. Amen.
