Agree in the Heart- Part 2 | Pastor Carline Lorenzo

Thank you for watching. Okay, welcome everyone. How are you guys doing? Hello to SOR. Am I looking at this camera when I speak to them or that camera, that camera? How are you guys doing? Welcome. Today we're going to continue on the teaching agreeing in the heart series. Agree in the heart. We started last week, Sunday, I'm sorry, last week, Tuesday, part one. Today we're going to go over part two. Pierre, I want you to just follow whoever would like to speak with the mic. Does anybody remember what we spoke about last week, Tuesday, for part one of agree in the heart? Here, there's a hand over here, Pierre. Chanel, you was telling me that you learned so much. Why are you not raising your hand? I would say from last week, I remember we was talking about bitterness and how we can't be bitter as brothers and sisters in Christ. We got to really love each other and the importance of it and how it can really block a blessing. Yeah. Amen. Chanel. It was a lot about how you can agree with your lips, but if it's not in your heart, you're not really in unity and it's just, you can't come together and pray together if you're not really in your hearts agreeing on the same thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Amen.

Anyone else? Come on, don't be shy. So basically, exactly what Chanel and also what you were saying is, because it goes hand in hand, right? That if we are holding bitterness or offense in our hearts, then it will cause us to agree with our lips, but not agree in our hearts because we're holding something against us. against our brother, our sister, or the pastor, or you know what I mean? Someone that you're supposed to come into an agreement with in your heart, you're not really coming to an agreement with in your heart because of what's blocking your heart. Did you wanna, you wanted to speak, babe? Yes, when it comes to bitterness, it like, it wants to sabotage everything. It wants to sabotage blessings and everything, right? Yeah. Because I know when I've felt bitterness towards somebody, when it's lingering, because it's a lingering feeling, it's like, it's trying to stop what God is doing in my life. Yep, that's true. And I was also gonna say, I feel like there's people on SOR that received, they could even answer that question too. Oh, how do I? It's actually live. So if you get on YouTube, I'll help you out. Oh, okay, on R-O-C? Yeah. Okay, and so today we're gonna go to part two

of the series. So before we begin, I just wanna praise the Father in the name of Jesus. Lord, we thank you, we thank you for this series, we thank you that we all are gonna be blessed by it, people that are in the building right now here with us, and even those watching online on SOR. Lord, just reveal every single thing that you conceal, Lord, for your glory, let it all be you, none of me, none of us, Lord, so that we can walk exactly as son and daughters the way you created us to be. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Let me pull it up right here. I need this, so. Okay, are we live right now? For productions? Hello, are we live? We're live, we're live? I can't find the live. Maybe it's on R-O-C. No, I got you. It should not be the R-O-C. Give us a minute, guys. Okay. All right. And you wanna pull up the next? Yeah, it's already pulled up here, right here. And then I'll actually get it up on your key.

Okay, awesome. All right, here we go. So thank you, Jesus. Now, I just wanna ask, did anyone reflect on what we taught on on part one of the teaching? Did you get any revelations? Did you get any breakthrough, any testimonies before I go to part two? You can share. Aqua, and then Chanel. I want this to be interactive, so just be comfortable to just communicate, okay? Well, for me, I learned not to let any, even small seed, because I was dealing with annoyance over pet peeve. So anytime anyone did something that's such a pet peeve, like clicking pins, chewing gum, things like that, I was keeping a record of whenever they would do it, and that would become their identity to me. They weren't a son or daughter of God. They were an annoying person. Like, that's what I saw them as. And it would cause me to be looking to judge them. Like, oh, there they go eating again. Lord, help me. And that's not the way I should be coming around my sisters. And so it helps me to see even those small, and it's not small, but in the scheme of things,

when you have things like bitterness and offense and unforgiveness, you wouldn't have thought a pet peeve was that, because in the world, we can excuse having a pet peeve. Like, oh no, I just don't like loud noises. I just don't like snoring or loud breathing or things like that. But we're called to be around the body. We're called to get real close to each other and work together. So confessing those things and asking God to clean my heart, instead of coming into agreement that it's okay to feel that way, when it's causing division inwardly against my sisters. That's so good. Thank you for sharing. Never really thought about it in that perspective, but it's so true. I think for me is, like, anytime I feel any type of bitterness, like, as soon as it comes up, like releasing it, not letting it root in my heart at all. Like, say if something happens with a sister and I feel some type of way, going to her immediately and not letting it linger. So I think that's, like, the biggest thing that stuck out to me. Come on.

That's so good. Thank you, Jesus. Now, the teaching you did, like, I learned how. How to see my mom like rightly not for her mistakes like when she would come home all mad like you didn't do the dishes You didn't do that. I just looked at it was like, okay And I'll do the dishes and then I made her like stop and like really think like dang. I feel bad No, really like just showing love to her because she just needs love seeing her rightly for who God says she is Instead of being like, okay, I'm gonna do it and then she's gonna get mad and start arguing That's what the enemy wants not giving him no foothold. Come on. That's so beautiful You're like showing her the love of Jesus For me I feel like it caught we caught a lot of breakthrough honestly in my whole home because you know I live with them five other women in the church and We all really just reflected like from the teaching of like and ask God to just really show us where we were still holding any like hidden bitterness in our hearts and we all came together and really like released like deep stuff like things that we were like really holding on to from like years ago and it helped us really like see the areas that we it was causing us to like not be relational like we were Almost living as like roommates kind of instead of like sisters Yeah and I feel like just from being like just humbling ourselves taking in the teaching and really reflecting it just helped us to just see How much of like self was in it? And um, yeah, we're just we're growing in that area now And it's just it's been it's been really beautiful Emily Ever since the teaching I feel like it's helped like grew my conviction like whenever I Feel like I'm offense. I'm like instead of just like letting it stay and linger I'm able to like address it with the Lord real quick And so it won't like stay in me and grow into bitterness. So I would say it grew my conviction more Come on, that's so good conviction leads to repentance and repentance is a gift All right So today we're gonna talk about the enemy how the enemy studied agreement before you did and what he saw made him afraid of it

Okay Genesis chapter 11 verse 6 says and the Lord said indeed the people are one and they will have one language And this is what they began to do not nothing. I think I already read that part Let me make sure I'm at the right Did I stop at teaching two or three do you guys remember? I'm actually at teaching four. I just saw that. Hey, man, we actually got four last time Done I got you Yeah All right Now we're gonna talk about where the offense really came comes from. Okay, so for teaching one we spoke about the lips agreed, but the heart did not agree we went over that and Now we're gonna get into Now we're gonna get into how the offense came in in the first place No We stop that, okay, never mind, sorry guys I'm reading everything. I'm like, wait a minute. It's because we actually taught we we touched on it But we didn't actually go into it. No, we're at teaching to why the enemy fights For your agreement. Okay so the the scripture is Genesis chapter 11 verse 6 and the Lord said indeed the people are one and they all have one language and This is what they began to do now nothing that they proposed to do would be withheld from them This is God describing the raw power of agreement and he is describing it about people Who were not even building for him like we spoke about last week God used this as an example to show us how when we are in unity Not just with our lips but in our hearts that we're able to just just like what my husband was saying the plans of the Lord is able to be Established right, but in this instance, they weren't even building for the Lord They weren't they were building for themselves at Babel. The people were unified in the wrong direction and still God says nothing They purpose will be impossible Right unity is so powerful that even misuse it is clearly unstoppable The enemy was watching that same scene if agreement in the wrong direction is that strong?

Imagine agreement in the direction that is going towards God it terrifies him it scares him So he made a decision. He would never again. Let a people come fully into one if he could stop it He fights your if he fights your agreement first because he saw before you did well one heart and true union can do so when one heart is in true union, we can literally do anything because the Holy Spirit within us is who's doing everything. And when we're in agreement together, because the Lord loves unity, anything that we wanna do in the Spirit, what will happen, right? We'll be able to command sickness to go, we'll be able to, as a body, as a church, be a church that walks in the Spirit, that just comes against the enemy. But if we're a church that we're divided in our hearts, and we're not realizing it all because we've been, hurt or traumatized and have had trauma in the past, that will cause a blockage in the Spirit for the Lord to do what He wants to do in His house, right? We're believing that, we're not believing, we are a remnant. And as a remnant, a remnant who has the Spirit of the Lord, in this end of times, we're supposed to be walking in exactly what He says in the Scriptures, that we're gonna do every single thing that He's done and more. But sometimes we don't see that happening because of just getting familiar with each other, not honoring each other, and all of these things

allows the blockage to happen in the Spirit because now we're not honoring the pastors rightly, we're not honoring our leaders rightly, we're not honoring our sisters and brothers who may have the key to our breakthrough rightly because we're holding on offense or bitterness or something that they said that could have been your breakthrough, but because of you're seeing it from a lens of trauma from your past, now you're not receiving that breakthrough that you were supposed to receive, right? And the Hebrew word is achad, E-C-H-A-D. It means one, a united one. The same word in Deuteronomy chapter six, verse four, it says the Lord our God is one, meaning the Lord our God is united one. It does not mean a solitary single thing, it means many joined into one. The enemy fears achad in people because it is the oneness of God reflected in a body, right? We always talk about the body, like I wanna be part of the body of Christ and I always say this, if we're a finger that's part of the body of Christ, we wanna be a functioning finger. We don't wanna be a finger that can't do what the finger is supposed to do. We're a finger but we're acting like the foot, right? Like we wanna be a functioning part of the body. If we're just a finger that's part of the body,

just a small part of God's big entire body, we wanna make sure that we're doing exactly what the Lord wants us to do. So we could be praising God during worship, we could be serving in the church, we could be honoring people with our lips. If our heart isn't honoring them, then we really aren't a functioning part of the body, right? We're just working and we're just performing. We talked about this last week, that when we're not honoring in our hearts, we come in front of the person and we're saying, oh my gosh, you're so, you know, I like your hairdo or you're so beautiful or, you know, I love that sermon but in actuality, you feel something in your heart, now you're performing because you're not, you don't really feel that in your heart, you're acting like you feel like that and that's a performance, right? It's an act. When someone's acting, it's a performance and we don't wanna come to the church of God, to his home and perform because we're not gonna receive anything or even build anything for God. And if there is things that are built and is built off of performance, it won't last. We wanna do something that lasts and you can't last with performance. So we have to make sure that our hearts is one,

just like we were talking about the love series that we just ended on Sunday, we have to make sure we do everything in love because love is the only thing that's gonna last, right? When you go to heaven, prophecies will seize and all the gifts and it will be no more, it will make no sense, why? Because the only thing that we need is love, right? So that's really one of the biggest takeaways I want you guys to take away from this. So I wanna ask you this, if the enemy fights agreement before anything else, what does that reveal about the relationships where you constantly feel friction with other believers? So if the enemy fights agreement before anything else, right, the moment that you're about to come into agreement in the spirit, you feel that friction, think about what the enemy is trying to do. Instead of just thinking, well, I feel this friction, I feel this tension, there's something going on, I'm gonna stay away from them, you have to think to yourself, why do I feel this friction? Why do I feel this tension? There must be something that this person has from my breakthrough that each other's breakthrough or something that we need to come into agreement with to do for the kingdom of God. But we oftentimes think about ourselves, well, I feel uncomfortable, so I'm gonna stay away from them.

Well, I feel offense, so I don't wanna talk to them, not realizing that it's the enemy that's in between that because he already saw the agreement in the spirit before we did, because he's ancient, right? This is where the tower of Babel comes in, right? He literally saw the disagreement. He saw it before we did. So think about it. Okay, I feel this and this Tory's, this woman a God or Tory, this man a God or Tory is my pastor. I'm not gonna just hide it away or just brush it under the rug or act like everything's okay. I'm gonna address it with the Lord first and more than likely, probably like literally more than likely 100%, if not 99.9%, it was a lie. Everything that the enemy was telling you about or what was making you feel was a lie. And if when you expose the darkness and you expose the enemy, then you'll be able to clearly see what that agreement was supposed to be for, right? When we die to ourselves, we die to what we thought was. A house does not have to be attacked from outside to fall. It only has to be divided inside, right? Like I said last time, you have a husband and a wife, they're in the home, but they're feeling offense towards each other, but they're praying with each other.

Now the enemy has a doorway to come in the house. Something happens and you're thinking, well, we're praying and all of this, but you haven't checked your heart between each other or it's one-sided, the wife feels something or the husbands feel something and we don't talk about it. And now the enemy in the spirit is like, they're not in unity for real. Now it's coming from within out. It doesn't have to come from outside, right? Matthew chapter 12, verse 25 says, but Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city or house divided against itself would not stand. This is the Lord speaking and explaining this because I actually was just reading this in the book of Mark this morning in the secret place. It was during the time that they were seeing him doing all these signs and miracles and wonders. And they're saying, oh, he's casting out demons with demons. He has a spirit of Beelzebub and the Lord knew their thoughts and by the spirit understood this and said, what are you saying? A house divided against itself can't stand. Satan against himself will not stand. Like how can Satan cast out Satan, right? That doesn't make any sense. So Jesus reveals the one strategy that works on any kingdom. So not just the kingdom of God,

but the kingdom of darkness too, including the kingdom of your own house and your own heart. So the kingdom of your own house can be divided if you are divided in the heart inside of that home. You know, like what you were saying, Chanel and Emmeline, in that home, if you guys are divided in the heart, in the home, that's the division that's within the home that's gonna exuberate out of the home. It doesn't have to come from outside inside the house, right? He does not stay in a house attacked from outside falls. He says a house divided inside cannot stand. The enemy learned he does not have to defeat the church from outside, he only has to divide it on the inside. So a lot of times, right, we see this, we hear this, people are like, well, you know, that church, they're not organized or this, this orderly. And a lot of people try to talk badly about churches, which we don't condone like to do, right? That's not what you do. But then it's the question of, well, you know, how did you have a role in that house? What did you do in that house? Were you unified in your heart in that house? Was your heart for what the Lord is doing in that house? You know, like if your heart was really for what the Lord was doing in that house, what steps did you take? Did you just get up and leave? And because it's from the inside that it's going on,

that's where the division is. Were you laboring for the house? Were you, you know, talking to the leaders of the house to figure out what's going on, right? Are you teaching the right things? He cannot stop your worship, so he poisons your unity. So that's what I was saying about, you guys can be up here worshiping, but that you're not in unity. You're worshiping, but there's no unity in the spirit, right? He cannot beat the body in open war, so he turns its members against each other quietly and lets the division accomplish what no outside force ever could, right? Because an outside force that tries to come in, you know, imagine somebody trying to come rob your house and go into your home, but you have all these security measures for them to come in. It could be hard for them to come in, right? Unless you leave your door unlocked, right? Unless you don't have like security measures in place, you don't have cameras, et cetera. It's easier for them to just come in, but that's why you have locks. That's why you have security alarms and some different things that you can do. But if you're doing all of that to externally protect your home, but inside of your home, there's division,

they're already in the home. They don't need to come through a door. You are the door, right? They don't need to come through the window. You're the window. You're the one that's literally opening your door willingly and walking right into your home with the enemy because the division is already within you. So we're thinking, well, you know, this person did this, that person did that, but what about what God's trying to do? The spiritual aspect, why does it always have to be about us? It has to be about, well, you know what? I don't feel comfortable, but that's okay. Jesus didn't feel comfortable on that cross either. Look at everything that they did to him, right? And he was still on that cross saying, Lord, forgive them. They do not know what they do. But any little offense, any little thing causes us to be divided in our hearts with the person and then in the name of, you know what? I'm just gonna pray, I'm just gonna worship with them. But really in the spirit, the enemy is like, they're not in unity for real. What are they really bringing down for real, right? And this is not for everyone, but this is just to bring awareness, right? This is just to convict and conviction is good because it brings repentance and repentance is a gift and repentance allows the Holy Spirit to do exactly what he wants to do in his home.

The Greek word here is meriso. It means to divide, to split into parts, to fragment. The picture of one whole cut into pieces. The picture of one whole thing cut into pieces. The enemy is a meriso specialist. His entire craft is taking what was one and quietly cutting it into competing parts. So you think about the body of Christ being one and it's just like, this is what we're having right now. We're supposed to be one and unified, preaching the same gospel, preaching the same repentance, moving in the same power of the Holy Spirit, casting out demons, healing the sick, baptisms, all these things. But then you have one part believing that, you know, all the signs are for doing the apostles time that you can't, you know, have signs and wonders anymore. One part believing you have to go through a whole, you know, course for you to get baptized. There's so many different parts of belief and that's exactly what the enemy does. He goes into one part of the body, starts putting these little divisions and now whatever the Lord is trying to do with the body, imagine, I've always thought about this. Imagine doing a service, the entire place is in unison, really worshiping the Lord in spirit and in truth. Do you know the wonders that can happen in a church building when one person is in the same spirit, the same spirit, the same truth and unity?

They come in, they say, you know what? I'm going through this, forget it. I'm leaving it behind. And they say, I'm coming to worship the Lord. I'm coming to seek the Lord. I don't care that I had an offense so is this person, and we're all worshiping in the spirit. The things that can happen just doing worship, it's in the scriptures. When it says that the trumpeters and the singers and the worshipers and the band players, the instrumentalists, they were all praying together in the same spirit and truth. And it was so much that the glory of the Lord, the glory cloud of the Lord came in the sanctuary and that the priest couldn't stand to minister, the priest had to fall. I long for the day, and it's gonna happen in the name of Jesus, that my husband comes up here and falls and can't minister and a bunch of things just happens. Because it's biblical. We can do this, but it all starts in unity. It all starts in the heart. I always think about this when we go to revivals and other places, I will never forget Baltimore. The amount of healings and the type of healings that took place, I was really shocked. And then I was asking the Lord, my husband and I were talking about it, and we were like, man, this doesn't happen back home.

Everyone that's going over there, they were so unified in the spirit. Oh my goodness, God is about to do something in this house. And I'm so excited about what God is about to do. No one's really offended of anyone because most of them don't know each other, right? They don't get familiar with each other. But that's the problem is that we start growing in a house and we start becoming familiar with each other. But we have learned this from our own house. We're familiar with our spouses. We're familiar with our children. We're familiar with our mothers and our fathers. And now the honor that we're supposed to continue to have is diminishing and diminishing and diminishing because we're becoming familiar. Or an offense happens and now they're our enemy. You can't be sleeping next to an enemy. It doesn't work, right? That's exactly how the enemy comes in, right? And so then you go to other places, and my thought is, man, they probably don't know each other. They all love Jesus. They're all coming for one purpose, for God to move in their lives. And then miracle signs of wonder starts happening because literally they're all in the same spirit but why do we have to leave for that to happen? Why do we have to go to another state for that to happen?

It needs to happen right here in this house where God wants it to happen because we all have the same spirit who rose Jesus Christ from the dead. We're supposed to be able to. Speak to the dead and they rise we're supposed to put people are supposed to walk through that door in wheelchairs and leave Pushing their wheelchair with nobody laying hands on them But it's because the Spirit of God is dwelling in here because where there's unity he likes to rest But if there's no unity in the spirit you can see little things here and there But he's like we want him so he is dwelling here, but we want we want to see the power of God I I know I'm not the only person that wants to come to church and just wanted to be just a regular church service Here I am. I'm gonna serve in productions again. I'm gonna serve in baptism again. Well, Pastor Rich is gonna preach again. Okay, I'm just gonna come without a notebook again and just receive Wait to see what God's doing. No, but we want to come hungry. I'm gonna buy your notebook, especially for the sermons I'm gonna buy a notebook in the pen, especially for Tuesday's to Tuesday's teachings I'm gonna make sure I'm on time for worship, even though I'm not serving. I'm gonna make sure I come prepared I'm gonna come and repent at the altar before worship even starts because the Bible says before you bring your gifts to the altar to Make it right So let me actually make it right before I actually start serving to bring my gift to the altar because I really am trying to Receive this service It's not just a regular service and if we all come like that the Lord is already here He's just gonna be like perfect now. I can use everybody. We you know what the Lord was showing me this morning I was praying for my husband for him to go to Philly and I literally in the spirit saw him as an altar like not as a person but spiritually I was thinking about Philly and I was like Lord protect them and the Lord said you don't have to pray to protect them He's an altar He's already protected he's taking the kingdom to the darkest place and that's exactly what I want him to do So I was just envisioning that when we walk in like that that's altars The RLC is going to be an altar already is an altar, but it's gonna be an even more unified Unified altar that when people come in before we even preach the gospel. They're already lining up saying I'm ready

I want to give my life to Jesus They don't know what just touched him they don't know what just happened because we are altars they can see and feel that unity We don't have to constantly every time we come in here about to preach and teach say come on being unity come together We should just get it. We should just be walking in unity. We should just be doing it right because we're part of the body Amen Where has the enemy been doing his quiet dividing work in your life Think about it Splitting what was meant to be one in two sides What has the enemy been doing that a lot of you are probably sitting here thinking like man That was really the enemy for real man that relationship that was broken that could have been for a reason that Sister in Christ that I got into it with that could have been for a reason because the Bible says the iron sharpens iron Right, and so God will put you between another sister in Christ or brother in Christ to sharpen you and getting sharpened It's gonna hurt. It's not gonna feel good I'm pretty sure like if you get two knives and you're sharpening them if the knives could tell you how they feel They will tell you this don't feel good Right. I'm just giving you a visual of how it feels So if your sister or your brother comes and says hey, you know sister in Christ brother in Christ I discern such-and-such and it doesn't feel good. That means that that's such-and-such that they discern is probably true Cuz they're poking at it Right, and so but what do you do? Well, well now you're offended. You don't want to talk to them. You lost your breakthrough Cuz it's broken there's no unity does that make sense Every time the enemy could not stop a people it was because he could not divide them That's how he could not stop a people cuz what happened in the garden in the garden with Adam and Eve they were divided He started talking to Eve Telling Eve because I don't think the enemy just one time told Eve eat of this fruit and she's like, okay Like that's not how it happened. He had to really start getting comfortable with her She had to really start trusting that voice that was telling her otherwise For her to get to the point to eat of that fruit So right now some of you are so comfortable with hearing the enemy saying

This and this person thinks this about you that and that person thinks that about you Leadership thinks this about you leadership thinks that about you and you start really familiarizing yourself with that voice to the point where he's dividing you inch and part by part and Then I've seen where people get stuck with that voice and they get taken out of the church the very church that God told them That they were supposed to be in so grow they have Proof and fruit that they were growing but the moment they started listening to that voice and not casting it down or going to leadership and talking about it is the moment they started being divided part by part, little by little until now they're all divided and what God was trying to do and plan and just building you through the rock, through the church or wherever you're at, if you're watching an SOR, now you can't do that, right? Acts chapter four, verse 32. Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul. The multitude of those who believed are unbelievers. Who believed, right? Aqua's listening. The multitude of those who believed or did not believe. Okay, of one heart and one soul. Neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own but they had all things in common. Nobody said, this is mine. But then we come to church and we're doing the giving message and we forgot that part of the unity. This is mine. That's not how they were in the book of Acts.

Well, that was just that day. Well, what are you saying? God is the same today, yesterday and forever, right? Well, what do you mean? That was just that day. This is, it's still today. This is what God's doing today, right? We have to be in unity. They said, everything is ours together. That's unity, that's unified. And let's talk about Ananias and Sapphira. What did they do? Does anybody knows the story? Anyone knows what happened? Right? What happened? Oh, well, they saw the unity. They saw how everyone was giving and they had something to give. They had land and they decided to sell the land but they kept a portion from the money that they got from selling the land for themselves. But they said that they sold everything and they brought everything as an offering. And so basically they lied to the Holy Spirit because they were, I think they were talking to Peter. Yeah, Peter. And Peter was like, you're not lying to man, you're lying to God and they fell down dead. Yeah, now this is not me trying to say

that you're gonna fall down dead if you lie, right? That's not the story that I'm saying. What I'm saying is that they couldn't be in unity because they were thinking about themselves. You know, when we think about ourself, we can't be in unity because when you're thinking about your, you can't, like, you can't be in, unity is when it's two people, one and another person together, right? And so you have to not think about yourself but think about another person to be in unity with the person, right? You can't just think of it just for yourself. Did you wanna say something? Yeah, I think it brings spiritual death. Yeah. Yeah, not being unified can bring spiritual death in your life when always thinking about ourselves because that's what is performance driven. Yeah, spiritual death, I mean, although Ananias and Sapphira physically died, but here it will bring spiritual death because you're not gonna be doing everything for the Lord. It's not gonna be the spirit of God that's driving you. It's a divided spirit and the only one who divides is the enemy, right? And everything that the enemy touches brings death because he's here to kill, steal and destroy, right? So look at the early church at its most unstoppable and the first thing named

is not the preaching or the miracles. Isn't that crazy? You guys ever thought about that? That that's not the first thing that they named. Oh my goodness, they came together and people were getting free and delivered and healed. They didn't talk about that. What did they talk about? Unity. Wasn't I just saying if we are in unity that the miracle signs and wonders will happen. This is exactly the proof of it that the unity is what brought all of that. So much so, so much so that Peter's literally like every single signs and wonders that he did was because of the spirit that was in him but the unity that he had together is what built the church, right? The unity that he had with the church. The power flowed out of the union. Let me backtrack. It is that they were of one heart and one soul. The power flowed out of the union. The enemy could not stop a people who could not be divided. So he changed tactics and the rest of the New Testament is him trying to introduce offense, comparison and faction into that one heart. They were in unity but then if you read the epistles, all these things that Paul had to come and try to tell them about.

Are we still acting like children? When are we gonna grow up and eat of the meat? Are we still drinking of the milk? What's going on? Do you still have offenses? Do you still have competition? What is going on in the church? Why are women leaving? All these things, right? It's because the enemy now saw, okay, well, I can't divide the unity but so I'm gonna divide within them. I'm gonna come. in, right? Division is his master key, and a truly unified heart is the one lock he cannot pick. He never stopped trying because he never found another door. So the master key is division. So we think about why is this and that happening in the body of Christ? It's because of division, comparison. One church comparing with another church. One leader comparing with another leader. Some people even get to the point of saying, you know, the Lord favors me more or loves me more than this person, right? Or think that or feel that, and that can really cause that type of division that we're talking about. Even like thinking the Lord loves this person

more than they love me because they're blessing their church or they're blessing me, and that causes comparison, causes division, causes all these things that the enemy wants to happen. The Greek word is kardia. It's a long word. It's actually three, four words. It means one heart and one soul, not merely one opinion, but a fused inner life. They share a single eternal center, and out of that center came resurrection power the enemy could not touch. When it's one heart and one soul, the enemy cannot touch because it's a single internal center. And out of that center comes resurrection power. Do you understand what that means? When we're in unity, like I said, it has resurrection. It's like, okay, you have resurrection power inside of you because you have the Holy Spirit who was Jesus from the dead. You guys can agree with that, right? Now imagine all of us, just look at it because I'm a visual learner. All these little pieces, all these resurrection powers coming together to make one big resurrection power. Man, do you know what can happen? Like the things that can happen,

it's just all things are possible. At that point, that scripture really comes alive. All things are possible, right? And that's, we want to be people of the word that really are not just hearers of the word, but doers of the word. Because a lot of us, we read the word and we're like, well, this is not happening to me. And we think it's a God problem. It's not a God problem. It's an us problem. It's a division problem. It's not a unified problem, right? We have God who's three in one. Are they divided? There's three persons, but they're one. We're supposed to be the same. We're supposed to be a body that's yes, although we have different ministries, but we're one. We're in unity, we're unified. We believe in the same God. We have the same spirit who was Jesus from the dead. We're gonna come and come against the kingdom of darkness, not coming against the kingdom that's within us. That's within us, that's what we're doing. We don't wanna do that. We don't wanna be a people that's that. Say, I am not a person that divides from within. Come on, if the enemy's only door into a powerful people is division,

what door are you leaving open by holding quiet offense? Right? What door are you leaving open when you have quiet offense? If there is offense towards your biological father, the door that you keep open is having, not being in the right with your spiritual father. Or, forget your spiritual father, your heavenly father. Before your spiritual father, your heavenly father. Because you haven't made it right with your biological father. There's an offense, there's a block, there's a door with your biological father. You can't see your heavenly father the right way, and now you can't see your spiritual covering, your spiritual father the right way. The same with moms. There's an offense or something that's going on with your mom, now you can't see the father the right way because he's a man, but he's also very nurturing. He could be anything, right? You can't see him the right way because the same things that a mother can give you, your physical mother or a spiritual mother can give you, the father gives. But you can't see both of them the right way because of what's going on, what happened, the offense you have in your heart towards your own biological mom. Or even a sister, or even friends in the world. Friends in the world crossed you, did things to you.

Now you cannot trust sisters or brothers in Christ because of the past pain. And this is just for me to bring you guys higher. Like man, I really wanna get past this hurt. I really wanna get past this pain because I don't want to delay what God is doing in my life. I don't want to delay how God wants to use me in my sisters and brothers life, or vice versa, how God wants to use my sister in my life or my brother in my life. I don't wanna miss the mark of being all that I'm supposed to be in this church and learning from my spiritual father. not honor my pastors the right way and not receive the blessings that i'm supposed to receive through them pouring into me and and and you know i read a book called visitations from god and the the author her name is nancy dufresne she has a church i forget where it is but she was saying that a lot of people are asking for visitations physical visitations from god which a lot of people do have physical visits visitations from god but she was saying a lot of people don't realize that god visits them through their pastor and it like that book actually helped me so much so much because i was like wow that is insane because when when your pastor or your spiritual mentor is coming to you and it's pouring into you that's the lord using them as a vessel it's not them that's doing it so the lord just visited you how many of you got revelations from either pastor joel pastor benji or my husband or pastor carlos and you're like man i really needed to hear that how did you know and you're thinking they're just prophetic no that's the spirit of god the lord just visited you right but so if you have offense towards them or something against them in your heart or not even them but against you know like i said a biological father or a biological mother or someone else and now you're staying away from them you're missing your visitation you're missing your visitation because you're oh i'm just going to ignore them i'm just not going to pay attention to them i can't know there's something's wrong with them you're not even looking at yourself something's wrong with it but you're not realizing

the enemy is causing this division because he doesn't want you to to get your visitation to get your breakthrough so this is to call you guys higher to be to come into awareness oh i feel something why why do i feel something what's going on right he will let you keep the form of unity the enemy will let you keep the form of unity as long as he gets to quietly remove the power so you'll go to certain churches they're in unity oh my goodness this church is so much in unity everybody loves each other but no demons are getting casted out no healing is happening no transformation is happening they don't preach the gospel every day no one's giving their life to jesus are they really in unity for real right so we have to think about this timothy chapter three verse five says having a form of godliness but denying its power and from such people turn away they're saying from such people turn away from them paul warns of a people who keep the shape of godliness while the power has leaked out apply it to unity and explains the empty prayer room exactly you can keep the form of agreement the gathering the held hands the spoken amen while the power has drained out through the hidden offense underneath if we are praying for lord to move in something and it's not happening what is going on with us god it's not god's problem he's not the reason he's all powerful he's almighty we need to look at ourselves and be like what's going on we look like we're in agreement we look like we're praying together we have the prayer calls and we're saying amen but why are we not seeing the transformations or lord i'm praying i'm i'm laboring in prayer for me to get delivered for me to change why am i not receiving what's happening you need to look from within yourself what is going on in me what division what is the enemy causing within me that i can't receive this power because you have the power it's within you in your spiritual realm why what and i always talk about this i love this book spirit soul and body by andrew wemmick what is blocking you to open that valve from the spirit realm to reach your soul to renew your mind so that your body can experience it what's blocking it we need to open up that valve what's causing us not to really truly read the word and actually see it come to pass because we're not really believing it it's not really renewing our mind we're just acting like we're reading the word because you can act like you're reading the word in a secret place and not get a thing i'm gonna say here because i know god's watching me i'm gonna read the word but you didn't get a thing out of it it didn't even change you it did nothing it didn't even plant anywhere and so that you're only doing it so that when the pastor say are you reading your word oh yeah pastor i'm reading my word okay what did you learn uh right we don't want to be like that

we want to be people that say yeah i read the word and this is what the word said and this is what it did to my life it changed me it renewed me there's something in me it like man the because the word of god has power it's not just words on paper it has power because god sent his word and it will never return boy they'll do exactly what he sent it to do so what's the problem when we're reading the word, I'm reading the word, man. It's not happening. Nothing's happening. Why? What's wrong with you? What's going on? Because there's nothing wrong with the word. There is nothing wrong with the word. In the book of John, Jesus said, I came to save the world. I did not come to condemn the world. And if you have me, you have the word. When you believe in me, you believe in the word. When you have me, you have the word. And when you have the word, you have just that. That's going to judge you because I didn't come to judge the world. So he's saying, I'm not even judging you. The very word you're reading is what's judging you.

You imagine that? When I read that, it set me free because I was actually in Mexico getting treatments for the cancer before I got healed, you know, in my body of cancer. I was reading that and I went, oh my goodness. The word literally, the power of the word transformed me. And I read that before it did nothing to me, but the power of the word in that moment transformed me. But it's because the moment, around the time that I read that word, I was free from bitterness and offense. So my heart became fertile again to receive the word. And it changed me. When I read that, I said, so you mean to tell me that cancer is being judged by the word? And the Lord was like, yup. And the word will do exactly what I sent it to do. It will never return void back to me. So who's losing?

Not the word, cancer. I just gotta get out of the way. So I literally got out of the way. I said, oh, oh, I'm stepping back. Because now you're gonna meet the word and the word is gonna do exactly what the Lord sent it to do. And that's every situation. Because God created the world with his word. Let there be light. Every day he spoke and it happened. He spoke and it happened with his word. The word has power. And so we, most of us, we stay away from reading the word, not realizing why we stay away from it. It's because of that power. We don't even know why we don't even wanna open the Bible. Cause there's power in there. But the enemy is trying to divide even you from the word to not receive the very power that God's trying to have you experience through the word. Right? You can keep the form of agreement. I read that.

The shape is still there. The substance is gone. This is the enemy's most patient work. He is content to let a room look unified forever as long as he gets to remove the one thing that made the unity dangerous to him. The genuine power that only flows when the hearts are actually one. When the hearts are actually one, the genuine, the genuine power. That's kind of like somebody saying, man, I don't know. I just don't get any breakthrough from Pastor Joel when he prays for me. Okay, what do you got against Pastor Joel? Cause he got power. He got the Holy Spirit. What's in your heart? Oh, I know I'm good. There's nothing wrong with my heart. Go pray about it. And then God reveals it. Oh my goodness. You didn't even realize it. The enemy used it, blocked you from receiving. And now you couldn't receive from Pastor Joel. Many of us, we come up here. We feel some type of way,

sometimes even towards God. And we're thinking God's gonna move in our lives towards a prayer and nothing happens. And we're thinking, well, I guess God just doesn't love me. No, that's the enemy making you feel that way because you're not feeling nothing cause you got something towards God in the first place. There's nothing wrong with God. And I always tell people this, what's going on with you? And they're, well, what do you mean? We gotta look at ourselves. We're the issue. What's the problem? What's going on? But we got all the solution. We got the power who rose Jesus from the dead living inside of us. You know what that means? You have the spirit of the living God who died and rose on the third day where nobody prayed for him. He just literally got up and said, I'm walking out this tomb. It's time for me to get up. Then he decided I'm gonna give you the same power. Do you know what that means? I meditate on this. I spent three and a half years meditating on this. Why, if I have the same spirit of God

that resides within me, that this tumor is not leaving? What is wrong with me? What's going on? Reading books, asking the Lord. And the Lord said, you can't receive my word. You're bitter, daughter. Okay. All right. Started going to war about it. I don't wanna be bitter. I wanna love you. Show me. He starts showing me. Cried. I got desperate. Jesus, I don't want to be like this. I don't wanna hold a fence towards people. I don't wanna feel no type of way. I know I've been hurt in the past. I know my father wasn't the best father. I know my mom disappointed me. I know women in my past. You know use me and abuse me. I know men use me and abuse me, but that's not who you created me to be I got your spirit. I should be able to look at this cancer and said leave and then he's to leave I should look at this cancer and said go and it needs to go Right. So ever so then when the lord removed that from me Then I started meditating on the word reading the word over me started believing the word and the word started taking root So much so that when they removed my the tumor when they removed my breasts They said the cancer didn't leave your milk ducts every time it multiplied it died

You know why because every day I would lay hands and say die Die die. I remember sometimes I would lay hands and say you have no legal right for you to leave my breasts You only have a right to stay here and then go And god literally showed me I didn't even know for three and a half years that what I was praying what I was believing Because my heart became tender again. There was no more bitterness That was exactly what was happening in my body because of what I spoke But it's not me it's the power It's the holy ghost that did it through me But I actually allowed him to do it because I started asking what the heck is wrong with me You're not the problem. God. The church is not the problem. God. The pastors are not the problem God what is going on in me that I can't receive from the pastor That I can't receive from the sermon that I can't receive from the worship that I can't receive from the word Why am I so divided within myself? Okay, the lord reveals there's something happening in your past take it away lord It doesn't feel good good. It's not supposed to feel good You're supposed to die every day. You're supposed to pick up your cross. You think it felt good to jesus picking up his cross? No If you're my disciple, you're gonna pick up your cross every day and follow me. Are you going to do it every day or not? Every single day You're supposed to come to the church and people supposed to ask how are you doing? And yes, sometimes we don't have the best day. You're supposed to be like I have the joy of the lord. That is my strength You know what that means? Because we think the the joy literally the joy of the lord like his his joy gives us strength. That's not what that means It was when israel came out of exile And and they were just getting all the laws and they started mourning about the laws like oh my goodness And they started feeling condemned Right and nehemiah said don't don't do not do that the joy of the lord is your strength What he means is the joy of knowing jesus christ is what gives you strength for you to live righteously The joy of knowing jesus christ is what gives you strength to tell the enemy. I will no longer be your puppet I was just speaking to a woman of god, uh on sunday about this. I said, you know what bitterness is You know, the enemy is using you as a puppet, right? You know when you're when when the enemy instills offense into you and you hold on to it, you know

What you look like in the spirit? You're a puppet on a string and you're doing exactly what he wants you to do I don't want to be the enemy's puppet I want to be a bond servant to jesus christ And if i'm going to be a bond servant to jesus christ That means that I have to forgive just like the lord jesus christ gave forgave And if there's something blocking me lord, I want it. Please help me be so annoying Be so annoying like the woman who was coming because of the death of her of her husband Annoying that judge saying avenge me avenge me what happened? What happened be so annoying that the lawyers and you're thinking about the judge was so annoyed that he's like just give her what she wants But the father who loves you is not gonna be like that Just imagine how much more he wants to give you all of that Man, yes, he's not gonna say oh my daughter's so annoying. He's gonna say yes, she's fighting She knows her identity She knows that she's not supposed to be walking like this He knows that he's not supposed to be walking like this. My son knows that he's a son of the most high That I gave him dominion That I gave him the word that I gave him my spirit. He's walking in that authority He's about to take ownership of the very thing. The enemy is trying to destroy him with But when we make it about ourselves, oh i'm just going either you get pitiful. Well, i'm just going through things I don't want to talk to this person or you get angry. I'm not going to talk to them What breakthrough are you gonna get? Nothing, and i'm not preaching anything that I didn't go through. I've experienced all these things I'm not up here saying I got it all figured out. No The same grace you need the same grace I need But glory be to God that we have the same grace now i'm gonna tap into it I don't know about you, but i'm inviting you to tap into that grace Because that's what we have that grace for right the greek word here Is morphosis It means form outward shape appearance The mold without the metal the outline without the substance

counterfeit unity is amorphous The perfect shape of agreement with the life poured out You want to be counterfeit unity because you're going to get counterfeited Results and counterfeit things don't last If you buy a counterfeit pair of shoes, it's not gonna last as long as you bought the real pair of shoes counterfeit things just don't last Right because they're just acting like they're the real thing. They're just performing to be the real thing and a performance There's always an end to a performance When you go to a show and people are performing Let's talk about when you were in for instance people in the world that they go see all these famous artists that are performing Right, they're not worshiping. They're performing. There's a time frame for the performance to end But does worship ever end? So why do we come to service we worship, but then we go back home. We don't worship Did you come for a performance? That it ended. It's not supposed to end. You're supposed to be performing in your house Five days a week six days a week. You come on Sunday the I'm sorry not performing worship the worship the worship didn't end you come in here and they're worshiping here to praise God Let's worship you leave the church. You're still worship it You go outside the enemy tries to throw things at you you're so much worshiping the Lord that you're like, oh, it's okay Hallelujah salvage and glory It's okay But if you're performing and the enemy comes then the performance stops because it's a roadblock We don't want to be like that we want to be a people who so you in unified that we do not look like a Outward false appearance that's in unity yet. You look like you're you're you're good and in the outside But in the inside you're really going through a lot because you're not opening up and you're not expressing how you're feeling They're gonna come in time that you're just gonna you're just gonna weep. You're just gonna it's just gonna break. You're just gonna fall Because you would just enact people are thinking but people in the spirit can see you're not really. All right You acting like you okay with your wife, but what's going on?

Cuz we got the Holy Spirit you're writing like you okay with this so many times I've come to woman of God in this church and I'm like the Holy Spirit showed me you got something against this person What's up, and they're like, uh Let me just tell you And then they get healed from it The Holy Spirit told me that you got signed against this pastor. What's going on? It wasn't just it wasn't me that's all it was the Holy Spirit that said because he loves you he cares for you He wants you to receive what you're supposed to receive And here's the question the final question because we're gonna please remember we're continuing in The part three of the teaching next week Tuesday, okay a lot please part three. Thank you Where have you been keeping the form of unity with someone while both of you quietly know the power has drained out? Where has that happened In your home in your marriage in your friendships in your revival teams Those of you are that are watching on SOR what your children with your bosses with your with your Biological mother or father with your biological sister or brother where in your home You know that there's an issue in your home in your heart anywhere in your life You know, there's an issue the power has drained out. You just kind of just left it alone The Lord wants to restore that he doesn't want that he doesn't want that for you. Amen All right, so let's stand and let's pray All right, I just want you guys to repeat after me say Lord Jesus we just confess and repent of Being divided in our hearts From the church from our leaders for my family and even from you Lord Father we do not want to look Like we're in unity outwardly but inwardly the power has drawn out Father we thank you for your word We thank you for transformation We thank you for repentance. We thank you for your grace We love you we honor you in Jesus name Amen hallelujah I'm truly believing that we are going to literally be a unified body for real in here and man

Even more yes, because we already are thank you for correcting me, babe But and I I really truly know I feel this I know this that many people are gonna come in and they're just gonna be just so healed, soul healed, spirit, soul, and body, but also physically, right? Because one of the biggest things that people, it's unfortunate that they really see the power of God is when there's like healing that happens, like a physical healing or something, a physical manifestation, or even a transformation, a deep transformation from a deliverance. And I really believe that the Lord is going to do it in this house. As we continue to grow in unity from within, the Lord is just gonna bless so many people for what's gonna come out of us, amen? All right. Okay, we're done. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
