I'm excited about being able to share what the Lord has put upon my heart in this forum. There's something on my words here, and I really believe that the spirit of the Lord is moving in and thought what will be documented here. The message that I'm bringing is in relation to the conquering spirit. I have never brought this message before. I'm gonna call you guys guinea pigs because this is the first time that I've brought it. It's so exciting when you know that you know that you know that it's the spirit of the Lord that is doing it and the Lord is in this writing and I believe signs, wonders, and miracles accompany the preaching of the word because the scripture says so and He is here. I don't know what it's like in the Philippines but it's going to be on fire for the Holy Spirit tonight in this place. Those that are watching over the internet, keep your hearts wide open because I'm going to drop some new thoughts; many times when I do that there may arrive a backlash. There may be a backlash by religious spirits that don't like the introduction of what I need to share.
So tonight, I don't say take my word for it; examine everything by the power of God in the scripture, make sure things line up with the scripture. The scriptures are very clear that there will always be false teachers; let me not be one of them, but how do we keep that type of accountability? By surrendering and submitting every word that we push out into the spiritual atmosphere? Lord, we know that I can do nothing on my own, but in Christ Jesus, all things are possible. Let my words flow by the Spirit tonight in Jesus' name. Lord, even now, those who are watching, wherever they may be in their family room, living room, bedroom, wherever it is Lord, I ask for supernatural release and I declare over them and those who are gathered here, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven tonight in Jesus name, and everyone said amen.
I am excited about being here. The Lord dropped this message into my heart probably about a week ago, and it's really a simple message, but it's a profound message. So tonight, I'm calling out to conquerors, conquerors in this place. Conquerors that are watching over the internet and you know the scripture that you used tonight Pastor that we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. That’s one of my foundational scriptures, and you know what, we like to think that these things are for the future. Maybe you know what I'm perfecting or maybe 10-20 years down the road, I will be able to possess that. I believe that that word is for now. It has always been for now. We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. It's not something that is so far off; it's something that has been released from the throne room of heaven when now, but more importantly, it was released when the veil of the temple was torn in two and they became a new way to look at somebody and say a new way, a New Covenant totally through the sacrifice of Christ.
With the death of Christ a great spiritual shift had taken place a shift that was not anticipated by the spiritual authorities of that time period. That shift was going to continue to advance the kingdom of God like in the old days but in a completely different way. Of course the old covenant would continue to be significant and important in every way but the focus to the end of the age would be on the specifics and intent of the new covenant. See the Old Covenant was to simply preserve the lineage of Christ from Adam to Christ’s arrival on the earth. That's what the old Covenant is all about and conquerors were needed at every turn to allow for it to happen. Every conqueror in the Old Testament serves the purpose of advancing the kingdom of God; they're tremendous examples for us to walk in but more importantly, every conqueror in the Old Testament was to get the road from Adam and Eve paved for the new Adam. Does that make sense? Every one of them they were to do what? Where there were giants in the land? Yes, are there giants in the land today? Yes, but the conquering Spirit shifted from the Old Testament into the New Testament and I submit to you and examine it in light of scripture.
I submit there became a total transformation of what a conqueror looks like under the New Covenant; are you prepared to look at that tonight because that's what I'm talking about? What is the difference between an Old Testament conqueror and the New Testament conqueror? They're totally different, but here are the things that they had in common number one, they surrendered their life, their whole life was surrendered to God. You know what, I believe this for many many years now. Unless your whole life is surrendered to God, you will not hear His voice clearly. You will not advance the kingdom of God. How can that be done? How can I possibly under the New Covenant have that conquering mentality? Of course through the power of the Holy Spirit through his power and his power alone we can walk into this mandate. I don't believe these promises are for the sweet by-and-by or when I get my act together. I don't believe those things for a second you know every conqueror has issues in the Old Testament. Think about it every conquer but you know one thing they had in common; respect for Supernatural Authority respect and honor and holy awe for the things of God.
If you want to hear the voice of the Lord, get lower today get lower. If you've got an issue that you need to resolve, get lower today. Go into surrender mode with the Lord and believe you me, his plan is for you to be more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. It's not for this far-off time and place or the sweet by and by and I can say this with confidence, it is no longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me. I know I'm under the anointing of God tonight in this place. I know the spirit of the Lord is influencing me. He's giving me the words to speak tonight. I know it's him because it never could be me and it is the same thing for you.
Can anybody think of some examples of conquerors? I can what about Christ? He conquered sin and death. He was a conqueror and you know all those weak and anemic apostles that Jesus probably laughed at sometimes on the day of Pentecost were transformed from wannabes to those that had no power, no dominion, and no authority and the holy spirit infused them with that conquering spirit. Peter would stutter and then shortly after the day of Pentecost, when they met with the multitudes on the street, 5000 were saved in a single service. Peter, who couldn’t even think straight at times, was so full of fear at times but was transformed how? by the Holy Spirit. What do you have access to the Holy Spirit? Is the holy spirit operating in your life? Tonight there are miracles in this place. Over the internet, tonight, or reading this there are miracles available.
I declare right now financial miracles coming into your household in the name of Jesus. Lord, let it be according to your word and we declare it into the spiritual atmosphere surrounding You tonight and we say Satan, take your hands off in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, go in and power them and Lord, let them declare their confidence in You, Lord because it's you and you alone. You can’t figure this stuff out. There is a difference in the Lord is the only one that can do it. Conquerors by the Spirit in the name of Jesus. Powerful in this place because the Lord is here, powerful because he desires to release something for you tonight. That conquering mentality, that conquering spirit, but it can be done only in the New Testament way. I think we all would agree that Jesus did everything through hearing the Father and hearing him alone. We have too many voices speaking to us. Let us hear the voice of the Father because when you hear the voice of the Father, you will walk as a conqueror, not to advance yourself but to advance the kingdom of God. That's why conquerors exist to advance God's Kingdom.
In Jesus' name, put your hand on your heart again. Lord that conquering mentality, Lord, we break off the spirit of fear in Jesus' name. Lord, we thank you for miracles in operation in our lives. We thank you for miracles in operation out of our lives and into others in the name of Jesus. Everybody said Amen. Joan, do you mind standing up? I just want to prophesy over you. I just declare right now that every weapon formed against you will not prosper. I break out the spirit of weariness in this season that would try to bring you down and bring you under and I declare the sovereignty of the Lord over your life right now and a reversal of things that have taken place in the Lord is at work and you need to know that he's making a solution where no solution is possible in the natural, so Holy Spirit I thank you that you flow to her, Lord, and you refresh her, and Lord, I pull off every form of weakness over her heart and over her life in the name of Jesus. Amen. touch her, touch her in the name of Jesus.
Now I want to talk to you a little bit about Bulgaria and you know what, at the end of June I hadn't received my Visa for Bulgaria and then I got it about the Fourth of July but at the end of June also it was declared over me medically that I had a big heart. Now spiritually I'm happy, I'm happy about that but I guess in the natural it's not so good and so that's why there is a delay and the Lord is at work. Let me tell you he's restructuring he's realigning he's bringing my whole being into alignment with him. Tuesday of this week I had to go and get some tests completed. Know medical science is wonderful, I don't know about you but I'm thankful that medicine can be used to bring healing to many and it does. I've got the most amazing doctor in the world and you know what he's going to be here on September 10th at Yeshua Messiah Healing Ministries and so I am so thankful if he's watching tonight which is probably not. Lord I Thank you for Dr. Rudi right now thank you that he's not only a GP but he's anointed from heaven and cast out demons to see the sick healed in the name of Jesus. Lord, I Thank you for miracles following everything that he puts his hands to including me in Jesus's name. Look at somebody and say aren't you glad we can ask for miracles I am I'm really glad and so anyway this Tuesday I just say that God prepares you for things.
Anyway last Tuesday I have to go for a 6-hour nuclear chest thing which is called a nuclear cardiogram and so then you have to get on a stress test on a treadmill and so you're running which I'm not adverse to running. I work out every day pretty well but anyway so you do this test but I didn't want to talk about the test I want to talk about the waiting room where we are all waiting and they say bring a book because you gonna be there for 4-6 hours so you gotta have to wait but there is a group of about 8 people that are all there in this waiting room. Even before I get there I believe in Divine assignments so I'm asking the Lord okay what do you want me to do today I am going to be in this group of people, how can I represent you? He said you are going to talk to all of them so okay we get in this room the people are really anxious and really nervous because they've never had one of these tests before. They probably just been told for the first time that they have heart issues and so they're all sitting there and so with every one of them and I'm glorying in God because I'm an introvert with every one of them I’m engaging them in conversation within 2 minutes everybody in the room knows that I'm not only a Believer but I'm a minister as a believer So everything came back to the Lord. Every conversation it came back to the Lord and so there be two of us in the room or 1 sometimes or 5 sometimes or be six sometimes or sometimes up to eight, and we're sitting there and I'm talking, talking about God and what can you expect and one lady at the end, and of course, I'm a testimony of Christ, do you understand that and so are you by the way, and so every place I go I know that the Lord will have me do something because I'm not an extrovert, I’m an introvert in the natural.
The Lord says okay Peter today this is what you're going to do, so we do it when we talk to them when we were leaving. We're all leaving. It's almost at the end of 6 hours. Some of us became the closest friends in that time period. Honestly, there's one lady that was sitting here as we were going in. She was sitting here 1 over here and went over there wherever all the way down till you got about 8 seats and she says, "You know Peter, I came in this place so anxious in the words of hope that you released in this place gave me the courage and not only to go through it but to know there will be a great outcome" and she spoke this in front of all the people gathered there. The Lord is amazing in how he touches people.
There are probably 4 or 5 divine appointments each of us has every day. I could have been like anybody else anxious. I could have been Lord, what's going on why are you doing this to me but you know what I know about the Mandate of Heaven and what I find so many times is that people don't know the Mandate of Heaven. Why? Because we focus too much on ourselves and I think that becomes tragic because every miracle of God comes but it must come out of the heart of surrender.
The New Testament Giants are conquerors. Can you think of any? Paul, Peter, all the apostles, Philip, and even in generations to follow, what was the key denominator? It is no longer I that liveth, but Christ that liveth in me. Over the internet you may have issues, you may have circumstances that are beyond your control, but I want you to declare it is no longer those that are here, it is no longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me. Let that resonate in your heart tonight and watch and see what the spirit of the Lord does or will do. You're not going to have your way whether you serve God or you serve the devil. You're not going to have your way, but why not serve a God that is releasing others through you into the kingdom of God right now? Mind shifts need to take place. It's not about your luxury it's not about your three-car garage it's not about how prosperous you are, it's about the kingdom of God. Do you give room to the kingdom of God in your heart and your life? I've seen many, many miracles. Why? Because I know it is never about me, it is all about him in my life, in your life, and so is the kingdom of God advancing under the New Covenant and I'm going to say yeah, it is how to through the likes of you and me, imperfect vessels, in total and complete surrender to the King of kings, to the Lord of lords. Will you do that?
How do we walk in that? I want to use only one portion of scripture, conquerors' home mandate, whether in the old or the new covenant, is to advance the kingdom of God, and you know, it's not just those who preach the gospel to walk in this. It's been a lie in Christianity since the first organized church, and now I want to show a picture. If we could put that picture up, and I'll tell you why I put it up, you know, getting back to this waiting room on Tuesday, there was a man that was in a wheelchair with his wife and had a long grey beard. If he was heavy, he would’ve looked like Santa Claus. I'll leave it at that, but the kindest, most loving gentleman that was there, but you know when our conversation over the time that we were there, he was a Christian and so was his wife, and so we're going to put up a picture and this is a picture that he had drawn and see it has a cross in the middle, has angel wings around it, it looks like, you know, it looks a little weird, but it looks like an alien or whatever above the cross, and then a light, and so why did I want you to see this? Because here's a man that is believing for a miracle in his life in the same place that I am. Do you think those things are accidents? They’re divine appointments, and so I declare, his name is Peter, by the way, I will never forget his name. That's no coincidence either. I declare healing for him right now and others that are dealing with those conditions right now in the name of Jesus. Lord, even those who are watching online, those who are in this place I declare heart healing in the name of Jesus over them, over their lives, and Lord, I remove that anxiety and that pressure that would try to prevent them from flowing with you, Lord, becoming the conquerors that they're truly intended to be in Jesus name Amen.
You know, we never know what the people around you are going through. How do you become a conqueror in the New Testament? Being sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Lord, what would you have me do this day when people come across my heart and my life? You know, over the last 3 or 4 months, every night between 2 and 3 a.m. The Lord wakes me up, and for about 2 hours I’m praying for those people, You’d be surprised at your faces coming to me in the middle of the night, others coming to me those who are watching over the internet, others in those faraway places as the Philippines, coming to me in the name of Jesus. Those things are not accidents. People hear what the spirit is saying. It is no longer I that liveth but Christ that Liveth in you. He’s in you and He’s in me.
You know, I don’t like to tell negative stories, but during the pandemic, you know, I won’t mention any pastor’s names, but in a very large community about the size of Calgary, there is a pastor that they arrested, but then he started swearing at the police and I’m not saying the police did anything right. I’m sure they did, but I’m not saying that they did anything wrong either, but that’s why I asked this question. How is that, and it was on TV, it was on the news. How does that advance the kingdom? Maybe you got an answer for it. How is that advance the kingdom of God?
Do you know who placed people in authority the Lord, the Lord has given all His authority? He puts dictators in place, He puts murderers in place, He puts Authority there. I just can't help but feel even to honor your pastor that God’s the one that puts them in place in authority. Who are we When God says something that we decide that we're not going to do it you know, you can take one bite of an apple, I'm talking about the word of God and then discarding the rest. You must take it all. So what will we do? We honor the authority. Who is my perfect example Christ, Never did He ever dishonor authority, never to the point of death! He didn't even come against Pontius Pilate. He said give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and give unto God. So if we have any type of authority in our lives, why not let it be Jesus Christ? The only perfect one. So I don’t want to be like the world. I want to be like Christ in everything that I do and say.
You’ve probably noticed that in the natural, I don’t take on very much. I don’t take on politics. I don’t take on what’s going on over here even if it is injustice. I will not say anything negative about people ever. Why/how is that advancing the kingdom of God? Are you advancing the kingdom of God? Every day we are faced with distractions in our lives. Every day we have an opportunity to say “oh, that’s not right over there” or “that’s not right over here,” “everybody’s against Trump,” “everybody’s for Trump,” “everybody’s against Russia,” everybody’s for Ukraine” and vice versa back and forth, “oh, this person’s no good” or “that person’s no good.” What are we supporting in our lives? Are we supporting the distractions that are there? Are we advancing the kingdom of God in our lives? You know, there’s a natural thing that likes to hear about all the dirt. “Oh, did you hear this over here?” or “oh, did you hear about this over there?”, but you know what? I hear very little about what God’s doing, and my heart cries. Lord, where are your apostles? Where are your prophets? Where are your pastors? Where are your teachers? Where are your evangelists? They are advancing the kingdom of God rather than taking this freedom thing over here; is that advancing? As a matter of fact, we are called to be slaves for Christ. We are called to be bondservants of the Highest. If you don’t like the scripture, I don’t apologize but that’s what the word of God says about who we are today. I’m never joining a freedom train. Is there any injustices? Yes, all of us have been treated unjustly every one of us. Jesus was ultimately the example of injustice, the apostles empowered by the Holy Spirit were examples of injustice serving the kingdom of God.
What am I asking you to do? I'm asking you to give your head a shake and see if this shakes out for you that tonight could be a night of transformation. Are we looking in the wrong places? I choose the kingdom of God. I choose what you desire to see, Lord. Does that make me perfect? No, will I miss it? Yeah, I know me, but greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world, and so tonight don't be afraid to have an enlarged heart, expanding by the spirit of the Lord; allow the Holy Spirit to lead you to guide you to what does he have for you now.
What does a conquering Spirit look like in the New Testament? Once Jesus fulfilled the Mandate of Heaven, everything shifted spiritually. That's why the veil in the temple was torn in two. That's why the Earth opened up and the dead in Christ rose. A key to being a conqueror is surrendering every day. It's not a once-in-a-lifetime process, it's a surrender.
With Joshua and Caleb scripture says that they carried different spirits than all the rest. That's what want. They weren't concerned with being conquerors; they weren't concerned with preserving their lives. They weren't concerned with self and I will say it this way, self-preservation. They weren't concerned about that. What about me? it is no longer I that liveth, but Christ Living in me. What is the hope of glory? Do you want more of God? It's not higher still, it’s lower. Go low below where you think you can go lower still. Lord, I have to go lower but I want more of God. I want that conquering mentality, it's slower and I'm preaching to myself. I'm preaching to you and preaching to everyone that's here I preaching to those over the internet. I have this message out of Revelation from the throne room of heaven and I'm not afraid to say it because I can't think this stuff up and I know it's not me, but God is in you, and my desire tonight is that you would see yourself as those having dominion and authority in Christ Jesus.
Many that are watching have been beaten up, many that are watching that been abused and we know that is not of God, but the Lord will use those things to propel you into the mentality of a conqueror. The scripture Matthew 27:50-53. And when Jesus had cried out again and a loud voice he gave up his spirit at that moment, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The way of the old covenant was torn into the earth shook the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people that died or risen to Life they came out of the tombs after Jesus's resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people. That's what happened. Jesus went and took the keys of sin and death and is now released to you and I. In our words, your words have authority by the spirit. I believe that you are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. One more scripture is 1 Corinthians 13:11-13. When I was a child, I talked like a child, in other words, gossip. I didn't look for the spiritual, I looked for the natural. I looked for this over there and what about me syndrome that's in child by the way I reasoned like a child when I became a man. I put the ways of childhood we're going to put something behind this tonight behind me, for now, we see only a reflection as in a mirror. Then we shall see face to face now I know in part then I should know fully. Now I know in part, then I shall know fully even as I am fully known. Okay, here's the scripture I want to get to and now these three remain faith, hope, and love.
The greatest of these is love. I've said this many times: if it isn’t love, I don't want it. I don't want it. I don't even want to be politically correct. It may be this maybe that. I'll say this years and years and years ago we had a young lady in the church she gone to the internship and during the summer conference you might have seen her and so I just asked her why don’t you spike your hair or do something weird with your hair and come to the Summer Conference and so she did have you seen many many people with spiked hair and so she went into the conference you know what she got in all sorts of trouble because she becomes different and people had a hard time embracing something that is different I go after the different I love the skateboarders I love those that are not like me I love going into bars and having a soda water I don't drink alcohol why because I want to fulfil the Mandate of Heaven. God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son.
One last story, years ago, we were doing graduation for the internship and I decided I was going to take them all out for dinner and have it a big celebration cake and so we go to the sports bar in Sylvan Lake called Hockey Central anyway we took all the interns there are 15 interns we have this humongous cake and its during the NHL playoffs and so it's full the sports bar was full. So we're sitting at a big long table we've reserved about 20 people in the next table I just say this there were drinking very heavy and so I just got this bright idea so I say why don't we just cut up this cake and bring it over to this table and they're all do you know the expression two sheets to the wind you know what that means it means our past drunk okay two sheets to the wind and so we bring the cake over to them and that opens up a whole conversation well what are you guys doing well you know where Christian body we just had these 15 graduate and they believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and they're going out and they're going to touch people for the kingdom of God Wow! isn't that neat can we give you a couple of drinks that was the response and I said no if it's soda water yes but alcohol not and you can make I don't care if they're drunk I don't care if they're High I don't care. That's what Christ came for not the people who are in church and think they're really really good because they went to church no he came for the lost. They know there is no other way before I became a Christian I swore and every second word was a swear word then all of a sudden I get saved nothing no more instantaneously by the power of God every once in a while it tries to come back and I just say no in the name of Jesus it's not going to happen and so anyway what am I saying if you want to be a conqueror and have the heart of God surrender and know that God will use you to advance the kingdom around you it's not about money You said it tonight. It's always about our hard attitude with the Lord.
Where’s your heart tonight? Have you surrendered every aspect of that hard the wounds that you've endured over the years, the things that have played you, the imperfections that the enemy keeps reminding you of tonight! It's finished. No longer second class, but first class in Christ Jesus. The mind shift that I'm asking for is because of the power of the Holy Spirit in your life. Is he powerful? think you can do it? The holy spirit that was released to infuse and empower us by heaven can He do it for you? Are you really interested in the Lord, or are you interested in the benefits of Christianity but not the responsibility of Christianity tonight?
What will you decide tonight? Will you be a conqueror with the mentality of Paul, who was shipwrecked and had to shake off a snake but knew that the Mandate of Heaven is upon his life many out there, maybe many here, don't know their place in the Kingdom, and I'll declare this: your place is full of signs, wonders, and miracles. what are you believing for tonight, in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit wherever they're at right now. Lord, I come against those that have a divisive spirit right now. Lord and I say no and I declare that their Spirit man will line up with heaven in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, go in and do the work in the name of Jesus. Lord, we may not be those that are looking for sensation, but we are those that are looking for your kingdom, and we declare it in this place: thy kingdom come, thy will be done. See, the New Testament is still about advancing the kingdom. It is not about the introduction of Christ to the scene. It is taking us the final steps into the kingdom that the Lord is ushering in, on this earth, and you know it will happen because it's his will to do so in the name of Jesus. This is one of my favourite lines. Now get in get out or get run over because God's going to do it wherever you stand on the day of judgment. Will you be one that he says depart from me, I never knew you or will say Well done, faithful servant. You know the supernatural is totally and completely opposite of the natural totally. It’s like night and day, light and darkness. You know how you get ahead in the world, probably doing things that you shouldn't do. How do you get ahead in the Kingdom, surrendering your heart, your life. I sense the power of the Holy Spirit right now all over this place while you need your miracle, this is a good time to receive it. Much love!
