God's New Resting Place

Throughout David’s life, one thing remained at the center of his heart: a passion for the presence of God. From bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem to establishing a place of continual worship, David desired to build a dwelling place where God’s presence could rest.
In this message, Pastor Daniel continues the story of David and explores the powerful significance of the Davidic Covenant and the Tabernacle of David. Through Christ, we now become God’s house—a place where His Spirit can dwell and His power can be revealed. We are challenged to hunger for more than empty religion, pursue the presence and power of God, and live with a vision that reaches beyond ourselves to the generations that follow.
Hi, this is Pastor Daniel Bracken. You're listening to Kings Alaska Podcast. I hope the Word encourages you and you get a touch from God that brings transformation and equips you to experience life with people, power and purpose. Thank you for joining us. Enjoy the Word Shared Sunday morning about the impact that this series is having on those who are watching.
You know, you never know who's watching, who's online, but we welcome you. And I was pulled aside by one of our pastors and says, when are you doing the next message in the life of David? I'm like, not sure. He said, we're watching every one of them. We've got a group of men that come together and we're just being impacted by the.
How many have you been impacted by? The study of the life of David. David is one of my favorite characters. There's more verses of scripture about David than any other Old Testament character. More is said about him than any other.
He's the only one that was publicly anointed three separate times. He's the only one anointed three separate times. Once as a, as a young shepherd boy not brought to the great time with the prophet Samuel. They didn't even invite him. He comes, the young ruddy one.
It is said that he could have very possibly been an illegitimate son that had, we don't know for sure. They get that from the psalms where it says he was conceived in sin, but he wasn't invited when the prophet came. Can you imagine, like if a major man of God comes to your house and you don't invite one of your kids, you leave him out in the back 40 they invited him. They finally bring him cuz Eliab head and shoulders above everybody else. Man looks at the outward appearance.
God looks at the, at the heart. They bring David in. The Lord says surely this is the one, pours oil over him and he anoints him as the next king over Israel. He's about 17 years old. God had rejected Saul.
Just catching you up. Giving a quick, very, very quick review as the Spirit leads us tonight.
God rejected Saul because he yielded to the pressure of man, the pressure of the people. He didn't wait to sacrifice and God rejects him. The spirit of the Lord leaves Saul and a disturbing spirit comes upon him, begins to be tormented and David, the power of God comes on David. From that day forward, he's actually becomes a worship leader at Gibeah. This is before he kills the fat headed uncircumcised Philistines whose name is Goliath.
This is before he kills Goliath. He's promoted because he played excellent. He was anointed. God's hand was on him. And he's brought to Gibeah to play for Saul, who is tormented.
And it's amazing when you have anointed worship, how God's power can be ushered into a place not unlike tonight. He would go back and forth to tend to the sheep. And Israel is at war with, with Philistines. And he goes to see the sheep and his dad says, go bring cheese and bread, pizza basically to the front line. He goes, and he's there and he sees an uncircumcised Philistine mocking God, mocking Israel.
And he hears what will be done for the man who kills Goliath. He gets a wife. And at 17 years old, 18 maybe, very motivated, I think, at that. But more than that, he was motivated for giving God glory. He was the only one in scripture that's called a man after God's own heart.
And do you know the story? He comes and he says, you come at me with, with sword and spear, but I come to you in the name of the Lord God Almighty, and I'm gonna cut your head off. You know what he did when he cut his head off? And we're. Well, I'm going to endeavor to get into this next section here.
What he did when he cut off the head of Goliath. Anybody know what he did? Because it's very unusual, prophetic thing. He didn't run and bring the head to Gibeah. That was the head of where the nation of Israel was.
He didn't bring the head. Giant head, a fat head. I think it's 10 miles. He brings it to Jerusalem. So what's going on in Jerusalem?
Well, we think of Jerusalem now as a city of the king. Of course it was. But at that time, Jerusalem was not the city of the king. At that time it is occupied by the Jebusites, the city of David. It's later called the City of David.
At that time it's called Jerusalem, or Zion is another name. It becomes the city of David. It's an 11 acre piece of property where God would then use Solomon, David's son, to build the temple. And it's occupied by these.
Strong deluders is what their name means. Jebusite, strong polluter. And he brings the head of Goliath and he brings it to Jerusalem. And it's like a prophetic act. He's.
Can you imagine him just dropping the hand and be like, you're going down too Slick. Every one of you are out of here. I'm gonna take your own heads off. I mean, I could just imagine him talking trash. Anybody ever talk trash?
Anybody? Anybody play sports? I love lining up in football. Lining up as a. As a linebacker and just be.
Be back there, and I'd be like, you're gonna get hurt.
He talked trash. I think that's what he did. See? Trash talking. He's one of the original trash talkers.
Why did he bring the head of Goliath to the Jebusite city? It was a prophetic act. And I believe that David knew something about Jerusalem that maybe others didn't know. I think he saw something. What's interesting, as we looked at this, his life, we.
We see. He waits many years. He's hunted by Saul. He gets married. It doesn't work out so well.
Saul hunts him with 3,000 men. He's trained in a cave, the cave of Adullam. People are gathered to him. He gets a prophetic word from the prophet to don't leave. Don't leave Israel.
But he does. He goes off and he just. He's messed up different things. He did. I mean, he's called a man after God's own heart.
But because of his lying, he had 85 priests killed. So that just encourages me. It encourages me because, you know, we've messed up. We've done things maybe not so right. There are things that will disqualify you, certainly.
But David constantly signed back up again, constantly tuned his heart and say, oh, God, I love you. Lord help me, Lord, help me. I mean, he wrote the psalms. We've been looking at those as they correlate with the different aspects and time periods of his life, which have been amazing. And so eventually, his family is taken at Ziklag.
We talked about that. His men, 600 of them, want to kill him. But he encouraged himself in the Lord. He inquired of the Lord with the. The.
The f od. And God speaks to him and says, pursue, overtake and recover everything. Go after them. I'm going to give you your whole family back. And he does.
And it's. It's a miracle. That is three days when he goes through Ziklag. How many of you're with me? Raise your hand if you understand what's happening right now.
Raise your other hand if you have no idea what's happening. All right, Stick around. God's going to help you. I break a spirit of confusion in Jesus name.
He's at Ziklag. It's three days before he's Made king three days. There is a principle called ziklag. Before Zion. There's a principle in life, a principle in God that right before the breakthrough, it's.
They, they say it this way, the old timers. A bygone era. It's darkest before the daw. When the enemy knows that, that there's something about to happen. He doesn't know everything.
He's not omnipresent. He's created. One day he's going to be uncreated. One angel, not a band of angels. One angel gonna wrap a chain around his ugly sorry and throw him in the lake of fire.
So he doesn't know everything, but he, but he can perceive and, and understand things. And, and there's strategies that he has. Don't be ignorant of the strategies of the devil. And the enemy will hit you many times right before the biggest breakthrough of your life. He'll hit you.
And that's what he did to David. But David overcame. And it was on that very day that Saul was killed and his buddy Jonathan, which is tragic. Tragic. And it's.
It's a tragedy. The prophetic word comes to pass and he dies. And the fulfillment, he's anointed the second time and he's made king over anybody know? Judah. He's not made the king over all of Israel.
Say, why is that significant? Because many times when God's bringing about prophetic fulfillment, he doesn't do it just all at once. He'll give you the land little by little, as he said to Moses, otherwise the wild beasts will take over the land. If I just give it all to you at one time, you have. God gives you promises, but you need to possess it.
Say that God gives me promises, but I need to possess it. You need to drive out the Amalekites, drive out the Jebusites, drive out the enemies in your life. And so David is made king over Judah. The prophetic word and the timing of the fulfillment of it are two separate issues. I told you before, I wanted to be where I am right now.
I wanted the Mordecai word like when I got here 20 years ago. Yeah, but it doesn't happen like that because usually we're not able to handle it. Usually we don't have a capacity for it. Well, we think we do. We think we do.
Like Lord, I know you start with small and little, but you can trust me with big. Yes, you can trust me. He's like, yeah, he knows you're rising up. He knows you're setting down and he's preparing you, you know, babies are in the womb for nine months. It's called the gestation period.
I think it's every bit for a man as it is for a woman in a marriage and family, because there's a, there's something that's got to happen. That baby's got to get knit together. And you know what? The dude's got to get, get ready for that baby. Babies aren't just born.
The second that, the second the word happens, boom, babies pop out. God gives you a word. There's a gestation period for that word. There's a, there's a, a germination stamp upon every seed that you sow. So that word comes to David.
He's going to be the king. And he's only made king of 1:12. Review. We're reviewing 1:12. He's anointed the second time over Judah. It's an anointing of administration.
And he does that for seven and a half years. During the seven and a half years, there's, there's basically a war going on in the rest of the tribes. And after that time period, without going into that, I preached it. If you want to go listen to it, it's online. He becomes king over all of Israel.
So now he's the king over all 12 tribes. What's the next thing he does? He doesn't go to Gibbia. He goes to where he brought the fat headed, decapitated head of the fat, uncircumcised one. That didn't sound right.
He brings, he goes to the head, goes to. I'll be, I'm. Okay, okay. He goes to Jerusalem where he brought the head and they shouted him and they mock him. And nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion and he moves the capital basically there, which is amazing because it was, it was a, an enemy city, but it's now the high ground.
It also happened to be the place of the region of Moriah. And I think he knew that where Abraham was called by God to bring his son, his only one and only son, to a place that he would show him. And three days later he comes to the place, a marrow hook, which is Hebrew, meaning he saw something of God afar off it. I think Abraham saw Jesus day and rejoiced. In fact, Jesus said he saw my day.
So Abraham brings his son Isaac, who's a type of Christ, a shadow, a type and a shadow of Christ, and he brings him up to Mount Moriah. It is the same exact location of where, of where Jerusalem is. It is the same spot Millennium later, the fulfillment of that would be Jesus, God's one and only son, his only son. He would send to die on a cross. The place of the skull, Golgotha, the very place that David brought the skull of Goliath.
It's all types and shadows. It's all amazing. Somebody said, I'm not reading. A man wrote that Bible. Yeah, and you're ignorant.
But you can get quiet on the front row. You can get educated. You don't have to stay dumb as a box of rocks. That's a Louisiana, Stephen. Actually, I was told, correct me, we had a bunch of southerners here, almost like a Southern gathering or something.
I was told that you're. You're precious means. Oh, you're precious means you're dumber than a box of rocks. Is that right? Don't, don't.
Don't tell your neighbor you're so precious. Don't do it.
So he bless your heart as well. He. So he takes Jerusalem and then the. The Philistines come. He.
He beats up the. The. The Jebusites and the Philistines attack him and they lose. And so now he's the rightful king over all of Israel. And they unite behind David.
What is the next thing he does? The next thing he does is he goes and he gets the ark. And we talked about that. He goes and he gets the Ark of the Covenant, which, by the way, for 70 years has been outside of the place of the main circle of worship. The priest and the, The.
The high priest really has. Two high priests begin to operate. But hold on. The high priest there in Gibeah has no. Has no ark.
So they're performing all the duties, all the levitical duties in a place called Gibeah, with no power, no unction. I mean, what. What is that like? What's that like on the day of the Day of Atonement, that one day a year go in, he could have messed up the whole thing and not die because there's nothing there. There's nothing inside the holy of Holies.
They just were a form of religion lacking the power thereof. And yet David goes, And in Psalm 132, I believe it is, he says that we. They brought the ark from the woods. It could. It said Kadesh Jarium.
I'm sure I'm mispronouncing. It's in the woods and he brings the ark. It had been in abinadab's house for 20 years. It had been there before that. It was in with the Philistines.
Saul never asked or Inquired of the ark. Never had God's power, God's presence, leadership can release fire and power and anointing and take the nations or can shut it down. I'm going to tell you something. I'm not going to back off. I'm not going to shut up.
And I hope you don't either. We need to preach, pray, prophet, prophesy and declare the glory of God in the land of the living. We need to give and fast and pray and see his kingdom come until the fullness of his kingdom comes. Don't let anybody shut you up. Don't give in to smooth knees and apathy.
Get on fire. Somebody said you need to calm down. Maybe you need to fire up. Somebody said you're a little extra. Maybe you're a little dull.
Maybe. Maybe you need some fire. Maybe you need some anointing. Maybe you need some.
You need the Holy Ghost. David was like that. David was passionate for God's presence. A man after God's own heart. He wasn't perfect, but God trusted him.
Second Samuel, chapter seven. Go there.
We'll read it in a moment.
He goes and he figures out you're not supposed to bring the ark by a cart. It was a nice effort, but that's how the enemy carried it. You were doing it wrong. So they went to KSM King School of Ministry. They found out the ark is supposed to be carried on shoulders of men.
That's a joke. They learned how to carry the ark and they. They taught them is supposed to be carried on the shoulders of men. Uncle Uzo gets smoked. The ark goes to Obed Edom's house.
We preached it before for three months, for 90 days. It's raining everywhere else. And he has sunshine. No one else's crops grow like his. His kids obey him.
It's a miracle. His marriage is blessed. Everything he does is blessed. And you know that because when David comes, you see Obed Edom leaves his house. He never goes home again.
Where does he go? He follows the Ark. He's everywhere. Go do a study on Obed Edom. He's like, oh, honey, love, you gotta go raise the kids.
I'm going into traveling ministry. And he goes off to Jerusalem. And It's. It's literally 30,000 people follow the ark. It is a national moment.
It's not just a handful of David's little man. And they just come with their little. It's 30,000 people. It's an entourage. It's.
What's that new word we learned?
Ret. New? Yeah, it's A retinue. I just learned that. How many heard of the word retinue?
Lift your hand. Okay, I never heard of it either. Retinue is entourage, 30,000 people, and they're worshiping and they're just giving God glory. And David, it's. Now, David was not worshiping naked.
Somebody said, oh, he was naked. He was naked. No, he wasn't naked.
I remember somebody was discussing tattoos with me and they said, well, Jesus is tattooed. I said, really? They said, yeah, when he rides out of heaven, it says right down his thigh, king of Kings and Lord of Lords. I'm like, whoa, that's a crazy tattoo. I was talking to Dr. Morocco.
So I was thinking, I don't know about that. I said, Dr. Morocco, Jesus had a tattoo. He says, oh, yeah. I said, yeah, because when he rides out of heaven, King of kings and Lord of Lords, right down his thigh and. And he says, he's not naked.
I thought, oh, somebody say he's not naked. Okay, if, if I don't tie that into the message. Just enjoy it as an isolated whole. Okay, totally forgot what I'm talking about. Brings the ark.
And oh yeah, he's not naked. He takes off his. His kingly robes and he worships. Because in the presence of God, everyone's equal. In God's presence, no one is above anybody else.
In God's presence, God is the king. He's the one to be worshiped. And that's the picture he's criticized by many. Somebody said that his wife has made barren because of her criticism of his worship. I don't know that that studies out.
Pastor Karen preached on that. And he sets up what is called the Tent of David. The Tabernacle of David. Again in Gibeah, the priests are still doing their priestly stuff. No power.
Now the ark comes into Jerusalem and he sets up, some say 10,000 people in full time ministry. And he pays for all of them to. To. To worship, to sing, to praise. And it's this.
It's the tent of David. It's a tabernacle of David. It's God's presence dwelling among the people again, a picture of the outpouring again, a picture of God's power dwelling among us. He came and dwelt among us, tabernacled among us. Jesus fully God, fully man walking the earth for 33 and a half years.
Why? So that he would take your sin and take my sin, die on a cruel cross and rise again from the grave and send the Holy Spirit this. Come on, somebody, send the Holy Spirit the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead to come and live inside of your heart. Heart and my heart. The Holy Spirit.
The presence of God is not inside a temple made by human hands. He comes to live inside of your heart. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is on the inside of you. That's why we can say, greater is he that's in me than he that's in the. Don't forget it.
You can do it. You can overcome. You can be more than a conqueror. Say amen.
That act of worship, I. That. That pattern, that, that, that. That breaking of Levitical law, because it's a. There's nothing in there to say that you could worship God that way.
It breaks all the rules. Veil, this worship. Do you know how long that takes place? Now? I need to study a little deeper, but I'm going to throw it out preliminarily.
I've got a little bit more digging to do, but as far as I can tell, for 40 years, the tent of David takes place before the temple is built. They're still doing their little acts of religiosity over in Gibeon.
40 years. Wouldn't you hate to be one of those guys? Be like, hey, let's sneak off and go to the 10, let's go to the 10. What's at the 10th? Ark?
Can you hurry up and finish your little sacrifice? I want to go to the tent what's amazing to me. And then we'll get into the new text. Maybe, maybe we'll just take communion and let it sit. I'm pondering that right now.
There's seven major Old Testament revivals. I'm going to count that as one. There's six others. And if you go and read about these Old Testament revivals, I'll give you a list of them. Jehoshaphat, 2nd Chronicles 20, Jehoiada, 2nd Chronicles 23, Hezekiah, 2nd Chronicles 29, Josiah, 2nd Chronicles 35, and Ezra and Nehemiah.
You will see in these major revivals in the Old Testament that involves a return to God's word, repentance, this renewal of covenant. And this. It's not just preaching alone. It's worship. And they literally say the instructions given to that to.
From David, the tent of David. It literally. They literally reference. Go look at it. It references David.
References how David worshiped every revival. I will tell you that I believe that 24 hours a day, which is what took place seven days a week, there's a pattern of prayer and worship that brings an outpouring Such that. That would never happen any other way. And I believe that God has called us to 24 hours a day, seven day a week. Pastor Kirsten, you're going to put together the schedule this week?
No, it's, it's a partial joke. It's a, it's a, it's a lot to do. Pastor Kirsten's just got an amazing administrative gift. I, I need like three administrators cleaning up all the stuff I wanted to do. You.
Visionary administration. They work together. But I believe that God is going to help us. Come on. Minister Heidi, can you say, Ben, you're called to it.
We're called to it. We're going to see a house of prayer birthed here. I don't know what we're going to call it. There's some different things that happened in different places that were sad, gave a black eye to, to that. But it really, it really originally started with David.
The tent of David, the fallen tent of David will be restored. I believe that God is leading us to 24 hours a day, seven days, day a week prayer. And out of that will flow a marrying of missions and power and authority that just goes all over the nation. Come on. I'm, I'm believing for that.
Would you believe with me? Would you believe with me that we would see that happen? How is that going to happen? God gathers people. We already have one of the.
Not that it's a contest or anything, My gosh. But we have a long lasting prayer meeting here. For decades, every morning, early morning prayer, and sometimes, you know, it's meat and potatoes. Just feel like we're going through the motions sometimes. Oh, but other times it's a whole lot of gravy.
How many of you like gravy? Gravy is good. Whole lot of fat. How many like fat? Yeah.
Crisp me up some pork skins. Let's go.
Well, I don't know about pork. There was a preacher that was invited to pray over an event. They were serving pork and they said, would you bless the food? He got up and said, lord, Lester Sumrall. He said, lord, if you can bless what you've cursed, go right ahead.
Lester Sumrall was quite, quite a character. All right, I'm going to take a text and I'm not going to preach long to you. It's 7:30 now, but I'm going to, I'm going to seed this next section. I won't preach. The whole message took a long time to review, but it was good.
Second Samuel, chapter seven. Turn there. This is the Davidic Covenant, which is so powerful.
Second Samuel, chapter seven from verse four. We're going to read it. It happened that night that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, go and tell my servant David, Thus says the Lord, Would you build a house for me to dwell in? For I've not dwelt in a house since a time that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt even to this day, but have moved about intent and in tabernacle, in a tabernacle, wherever I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, why have you not built me a house of Cedar? Verse 8.
Now therefore, thus says, thus you shall say to my servant David. Thus says the Lord of hosts. I took you from the sheepfold and from following the sheep to be ruler over my people Israel, And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are in the earth. Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them. Come on, somebody, say he'll plant them.
And I will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more. How prophetic concerning what's taken place in history. And move no more. Nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore. As previously.
Verse 11. Since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies, also the Lord tells you that he will make you a house. Verse 12 and when the days are fulfilled, you will rest with your fathers. I will set up your seed. Listen closely.
I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish this kingdom, and he shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. And I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men. But my mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you, and your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you, and your throne shall be established forever. According to all of these words, according to all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
Father, thank you for your word. A lamp into a feet and a light upon our path. In the moments that remain, which is just a few minutes, I'm not going to go Long I pray that you would give us living understanding in Jesus name. Amen. Turn to Psalm 132, verse 1.
So David's gone through all that and that catches us up. Long review, but very important. And you can listen to Those again on YouTube. Spotify podcast. Psalm 132, verse 1.
That's an anonymous psalm, but it quotes David. Listen closely. Lord, remember David and all of his afflictions. How he swore. So it's quoting what David said to the Lord.
How he swore to the Lord and vowed. He did what he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob. Quote. Surely I will not go to the chamber of my house or go up to the comfort of my bed. Verse 4.
I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids until I find a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob. We heard of you in Ephrathah. That's Bethlehem. That's where he grew up. He heard of him.
Revival stories, outpouring stories, hemorrhoids on the Philistines. He. He heard of it. We found you in the fields of the woods. That's Kariath jaram.
I think I've got it right. That's where it's held for 20 plus years, in the woods. That's what Karith Jaram means.
Let us go to his tabernacle. Let us worship at his footstool. Arise, O Lord, to your resting place. David chose Jerusalem to be the place for the building of God's house. And it was supernatural.
This is the covenant, Davidic covenant. And it's talking of the Messiah in its fullness. And it is so powerful. Read it this week, meditate on it, study it a little bit. It's one of the most, probably this is the most powerful moment, visitation really, of David.
He sought for a place for the ark. He sought for a place for the presence of God. New Testament application God is looking for a place to. To pour out his spirit. And there is so much opposition to that.
I was called the crazy pastor of the crazy church. Well, the crazy of the pastor of the crazy church, pastoring crazy people up on the hill with the largest building in the state of Alaska. God is able to do great things if you'll believe him for it, he will do it. And it's certainly not an ego thing. We'd all have dropped dead if God took his hand off of us.
He brought us true and holds us. If it's 1 foot of water or 20 foot of water, it's still on the water. Might feel like 20ft. Ain't nothing for him. God wants to pour out his spirit in this place in a way that we've never seen before.
As was just prophesied. He's going to make this a northern gate. He's good. It already is. And he's going to pour out his spirit upon you and he's going to bring the fullness of this breath.
Prophetic word to pass where people call on the name of the Lord. He finds a place to dwell, to rest. The habitation of his presence and his power. I don't want to play church like Gibbia. I don't want to do things with a bunch of rules and regulations and just now we have structure and we need to have it.
But I long even like David, I long to see God's power. A house built for his presence.
David's son built. David paid for it. It's too much blood on his hands. And his son Solomon built the temple. But all of it represents where we are now in the kingdom.
The fulfillment of this Davidic covenant is found in Christ and Christ alone. And we are his house. And we need to tell the whole world who he is. They too can find rest. Worship team Would you come lift your hands to heaven, Father.
Thank you.
Where will your resting place be? Where will my resting place be? He said, God, I say find a place here.
Let your power rest upon us as a people. Creating that new wine skin, releasing the new structure, launching forth missionaries and planting churches all over the world. Give us Juno. Give us Juno.
For 20 years I heard that there's a hundred churches that have no gospel witness, no church. When does that figure gonna change? Needs to change. Why is it the same figure? I don't know if it's accurate or not, but we're going to plant churches all over Alaska.
We do missions all over Alaska. We're going to see God's glory poured out all over the great Northland. I echo the prophetic word spoken by Jane Hammond that Alaska is an upper room for the nation.
And then what God is going to do here will be called the Great Alaskan Awakening. I prophesy a great Alaskan awakening over our land. I prophesy the the resting place of God. And even as brother Luke came and prophesied, we agree they'll come from all over. How many times have we got to hear that?
That the nations will come. They'll come from the north, they'll come from the south, they'll come from the east, they'll come from the west to experience his Power, not about a man, but about the man, about him, about Christ, about the Lord. He receive all the glory and the honor. God, thank you. Fulfill your plan.
If you have the freedom to pray in the spirit, go ahead. I do believe they prepared communion, so we'll go ahead and receive it, thankfully. Ushers, would you come? Come on. Pray the spirit.
There's tongues, which is a prayer language. You got to give that to anybody. He has that for you. If you desire that, you can receive it even tonight. The baptism of the Holy Spirit give you the gift of praying in tongues.
There's tongues with interpretation, which is prophecy. So when I say, and this is just a reminder to maybe some of you who are newer, when I say pray in the spirit, it doesn't need to be interpreted. You pray in your heavenly language. Is praying. It's praying the perfect will, perfect will of God, God's power, God's spirit.
Praying through you in agreement with your spirit. Ontologically, that's a spiritual study of spatial, spiritual study of things. Ontologically, the Holy Spirit is not your spirit. But economically, they work together. Come on.
Begin to pray in the spirit. Ushers, you may begin to serve. Father, thank you. Come on. If you have the freedom to pray in your heavenly language, go ahead and do it.
Something's happening right now. Something's taking place. Place right now online. Begin to pray in the spirit. Come on.
Christianity is not a spectator sport. Come on, lean in a little bit. Come on, lean in a little bit.
People. God's healing people. I'm gonna pick up that word of knowledge. Prostate being healed, Pancreas being healed. Jesus name.
What's the third one? Pituitary. Being healed right now. Diabetes. We command you to go.
There's healing found in the blood, healing found in the broken body. Whatever you need healing of, receive it, begin to receive it once. Everybody, everybody served, will take communion. All together. God's lifting off weariness.
Some of you been going through just an onslaught and you're weary, you're tired. It's like a cloud that's over you. God's lifting that off of you today. God's lifting off of the heaviness. Come on.
You are going to be a resting place for him. You are his house. Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you. Yes, Lord.
You know what happens to David in verse 18?
King David hears all this and he goes in and he sits before the Lord. Verse 18 of the same chapter. And he said, who am I, O Lord God? And what is my house that you have brought me this far?
Dianu. It's the Dayenu thing. It would have been enough. Dayenu is a Hebrew word, and it means it would have been enough. It's something that Jewish people will say on a regular Dayenu.
I think about what God's done for me and how he delivered me. And I could just think back 20, before I met Karen, before I met her, I'd be like, oh, Diana. I would weep in his presence because I was no longer tormented by demons. I would weep. I'm like, oh, if I have nothing, it doesn't matter.
You already did it. And then he began to add to my life, and he began to expand and he began to heal. And he healed my organs that were eaten up from the inside. And he set me free and he filled me with his spirit. And then I would say, oh, God, Dianu, it would have been enough.
That's what. What David says. He said, you're going to use my family, you're going to use my house, you're going to make me. Oh, oh, it would have been enough. I mean, he's blown out, overwhelmed.
He's a worshiper. That's what David is, a warring worshiper. That's what God's raising up in this hour. People that are in connection with their divine identity, how they've been cleansed, how they've been healed, and they're grateful every day, filled with gratitude and hope, hungry and thirsty for God to do even more. I mean, he says to David, later on, I would have done even more.
I would have done even more. The only one that can limit God is you. Take the chokehold off. There's no. There's no toxic levels in God.
Separate yourself from the gibbous spirit. Separate yourself from religion that lacks power and authority. And transformation affords nothing. You don't need it. Your neighbor doesn't need it.
Nobody needs religion. Everybody needs freedom found in Jesus. Everybody needs deliverance found in God. Everybody needs to know that they can be a resting place, that they're grafted in, that they've been adopted. Every single person needs to hear the good news of Jesus, that you don't have to be found anymore.
You don't have to be addicted anymore. You don't have to be enslaved anymore. You don't have to be in a nasty, horrible, bitter, angry marriage anymore. You can be set free and he can come and take up residence on the inside of you, in your home and lead you and guide you. Oh, and you too will say, oh, Dianu, Dianu, it would have been enough.
That's what David said. Who am I? Oh, he's overwhelmed. Verse 19. And yet this was a small thing in your sight, oh Lord God.
And you have spoken of your servant's house.
He was given a promise that would not come to pass in his lifetime. And yet he contended and he gave and he agreed and he labored. He didn't wane. He. He waxed stronger and stronger in God.
Your life is not about you. It's about the generations. And every generation needs to understand before God that this is the last generation. He said, well, how does that work? If the last generation thought it was the last generation and Jesus hasn't come yet, what does that mean?
Well, let me just tell you that the la. The last. This is your last generation because you're going to die.
He could come back during your lifetime. You live like he's not coming. You live like he's coming any moment. Rapture ready, baby. You just.
Some of you wouldn't go past the ceiling right now. You need to re. You need to re. You need to retool. Come on.
Somebody say I'm retooling. Yeah, you need it. Your wood is wet. You need to come closer to the Lord. You need to get things right because you don't know when the hour is the hour and the time is short.
And he's coming. He's coming. You live like he's coming at any moment. And you plan like he's not coming in your lifetime. This building we built, it will last for over a hundred years.
It is built that way. It is built for a 9.0 earthquake. May we never have one. We didn't build just a cute little prop up. This thing is designed to last.
Why? Because it could build that. The Lord will tarry. I think he's coming to my lifetime. I believe for that.
It's going to be an amazing. What an adventure. When he splits the eastern sky and rides on out of heaven. And on his thigh is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. But it's not a tattoo because he's not naked.
Diana. Say it with me. Dianu. It would have been enough. And yet the greatest is yet to come.
The best is just ahead of revival. An outpouring. The fullness of the Gentiles.
Brother Luke talked about it. The fullness of the Gentiles. And then the Jews will come in and 144,000 Jewish evangelists will cover the earth. A rapture. I'd have you lift your hands, but you'd spill juice all over yourself.
Come on, stand up with me. May I be served? Please? Pastor Karen, would you join me?
Ushers, would you hustle me up? Thank you so much. You want to share? It's cute. Thank you.
Thank you. You know, we have done. For years we've done this. We don't do it all the time, but I pour a little bit in her, she pours a little bit of mine. Just a picture of a covenant before God.
Come on, examine your heart. And if you're not right with God, then repent and get right with God. Because you're not promised not one more day. This is it. I pray that we live until he splits the eastern sky, as I said.
But you have this moment. Examine your heart. Father, we examine our hearts now before you and in a worthy way. We want to receive these elements representing your blood and your body. For on the night that you were betrayed, you took the bread and you broke it.
It said, this is my body which is broken for you. And in likewise manner you took the cup and you bless it. He says, the cup of the new covenant. My blood which is shed for you. As often as you do this, do this and remembrance of me.
So, God, we remember you. We remember that it is by your stripes were healed. We remember that if we confess our sins to you first John 1:9. If we confess our sins to you, you are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We repent wrong thoughts, attitudes, motives that were improper.
Prayerlessness perhaps. Forgive us, oh God, for even things that we don't even know about. Cleanse us now. Heal us now. And thirdly, we declare your eminent and soon return.
We pray and declare and receive these things in Jesus name. Amen. Let's eat and drink together. Well, I hope you were encouraged by God's word. Thank you again for listening to King's Alaska podcast.
