Seeing What Jesus Sees

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 standing as we get into God's Word.

The Book of John, chapter four. Going to preach a special message today. Having just returned from what is called the Louisiana outpouring, I was very impressed to preach this text of scripture to you. Reading from the new King James, John, chapter four. It's also on the screen I've entitled the message Seeing what Jesus Sees.

Seeing what Jesus sees. John 4, verse 27 to 38. Are you ready? Now we stand in honor of God's Word to do just that, to honor God's Word. We're going to pass notes out, but if we could just press pause on the note passing.

Let's read the text. And at this point, his disciples came and marveled that he talked with a woman.

Yet no one said, what do you seek? Or why are you talking with her? The woman then left her water pot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, come and see a man who told me all the things I ever did. Could this be the Christ? Verse 30.

Then they went out of the city and came to him. In the meantime, his disciples urged him, saying, rabbi, eat. I love it. He's opening up a new territory and they're. They want to talk about lunch.

Verse 32. But he said to them, I have food to eat. But you do not know. Therefore, the disciples said to one to another, has anyone brought him anything to eat? Jesus said to them, my food.

Would you read this with me? My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Verse 35.

Do you not say there are still four months? Then comes the harvest. Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they're already white for harvest. And he who reaps, receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true.

One sows at another reaps. I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labors. Let's pray. Father, thank you.

You may pass the notes out, gentlemen. Father, thank you for your word. A lamp into a feet and a light upon our path. This historic day where we celebrate what you did with the school and in anticipation expect even greater and greater things as the years go by. As you said, we go from glory to glory.

I pray as I preach. It would burn faith in the hearts of every single man, woman, boy and girl. And that you from this service would being would bring fruit unto eternity. Lies would be touched, people be freed. Faith would be released.

Thank you for what you're going to do. In Jesus name, amen. Turn to your neighbor and say, I want to see what Jesus sees. Come on. Turn to your other neighbor and say, lord, open my eyes.

Come on, Lord. Lord, open my eyes. And you may be seated.

Notes will be passed out and we hope that you fill those in. As we move along, the blanks will be put up upon the screen. Welcome to all of those that are out online on all of our different platforms. We welcome you. We're so glad those in Chile today, those all across America and so many will watch by podcast, those on YouTube, Facebook.

We just returned, as I said earlier, from what is called the Louisiana outpouring. It is meetings that have been taking for 24 years and it is a dynamic. It was a dynamic time and we had evangelist Nathan Morris. Raise your hand if you know who Evangelist Nathan Morris is. If you don't know, you'll soon know because he's going to come.

We're setting up dates for him to come here. We, yeah, we tried to get him to come at the time of our 20th anniversary celebration, which is save the date, October 11th will be our 20th anniversary Sunday. And that, that week or perhaps the week before, we're going to have some guest speakers and just kind of hit it and celebrate and have revival for being here at the Brackens. My wife and I moved here with two little kids and we've been here for 20 years, which is amazing to be elevated how that happened. The average time of a pastor in an area is five years.

And once you break five years, I think you begin to break into a territory and God is certainly doing something. I'm contending even the prophetic word given to me by Nathan Morris, Evangelist Nathan Morris, as he was just leaning on me and praying for me. And I felt just these sheets of power prophesied. Take the whole state. Take the whole state.

We have every plan of taking the whole state. How one, one bite at a time, one family at a time. And I, I believe that God is going to help us take America back. I'm going to tell you something's happening in America. Being in Louisiana.

There's people that are all hungry and Thirsty services are four and five hours and nobody left. Kids being touched by the power of God, kids being overwhelmed by God's power and presence. Miracles of healing, miracles of deliverance, miracles of salvation. Worship that went for an hour and a half. And it wasn't like it was some boring worship.

I mean, heaven coming down. It was like the entire atmosphere was sparkling with God's power. He said, I've never been in the service like that. Keep coming. It's amazing.

And I heard on good report that every single hospital across America, there's not one, there's not one hospital across America now that will do a gender transition surgery. Somebody ought to shout to God. God. So I've said, somebody ought to shout to God. That's a victory.

That's a great, great victory. Your prayers are being heard. Your seed that you're sowing is bringing forth the harvest. Your actions as you live for God, it's working. America, I believe, is turning around.

I heard another report of 10 revivals across the Midwest churches. Any church that's filled with God and His word is growing all across America. God's pouring out his spirit in the nations. And I'm reminded of Jeremiah 49, a prophetic word over Elam. Elam is modern day Iran.

And the word of the Lord over Elam was that they were being defeated and so on, so forth. You can read it. But in verse 35 of Jeremiah 49 there's this promise of restoration, a promise of glory coming to Iran. And if you go to Acts chapter two, you will see those from Elam, Elam or Elamites. You can read Acts 2.

Elamites are there when Peter comes out. Peter, once terrified by a little girl at a fire, denied the Lord three times.

Pretty good rooster right there, by the way. I learned living in Hawaii for 14 years. Rooster crows Peter comes to his senses. Jesus restores him. Wait in Jerusalem.

Peter comes out and he preaches. He's no longer scared of a. Of anything. He comes out of an upper room and he preaches till 3000 people get born again. And you look at those who were there, Elamites, Iranians.

Iranians were at Acts chapter two, at the outpouring of the Spirit. And I prophesy and tell you really doesn't require much prophetic gift because we hear and have heard of an underground church, mostly women that started with in Iran and we've talked to missionaries and God's pouring out a spirit in the nations. If you can see what Jesus sees, if you can see what Jesus sees for your Own life for your children. You can see what Jesus sees for the state of Alaska. Your, your life would be changed.

Our story of coming to Alaska. Let's look at the notes here. I saw a approval of this gas line. A vote was made and there was a landslide approval of this gas line. How many of you saw that?

And there's this AI. I think it's an AI picture of the gas line coming from the North Slope. When I saw it, it was so. It reminded me of the vision I had in 2020, 2005. Pardon me, before room, just right before we moved here.

I was minding my own business on a run, about 70 pounds heavier, training to beat my father in a foot race, who's 30 years older. And later I lost, but I was running trying to beat my dad and that never happened. But on that run I had an open vision. And in the open vision I saw the school. I saw a school filled with fire.

And I assumed that that was just a school of ministry, which by the way, we have also. They're going to be integrated. You can send your kid to our school. Eventually we'll add a grade. We're going to stay ahead grade by grade.

We'll see how much we can add by the grace of God according to your leading and guiding and your professional spirit filled, faith filled opinion. Because I'd add all to, I'd go to, I'd go to senior high right now. I'd. We're all we're going into, we're adding freshmen. I'd go all the way to 12th grade if it was me.

But we're trusting you, Father Helper, in Jesus name, Amen.

But there's kids that know they're going to go into ministry and we're going to begin to integrate KSM with our school. And KSM King School of Ministry will become a great, a great school. I mean it's a good school now, but it's going to become great. I believe that there's so much that God is doing. I saw that on that run on the island of Kauai.

I saw it. And the Lord spoke to me. And you've heard, if you've been here for any length of time, you've heard me say it. The Lord said, I'm building a pipeline of the golden oil of Zachariah that'll flow to the state of Alaska in the same way that there's a pipeline from the North Slope to Valdez. I'm building a pipeline where the golden oil of Zachariah will flow.

Now I don't even know what the golden oil Zachariah was. I had to go find that out.

Bringing a great outpouring, a great revival. It's going to touch the state of Alaska and it's going to go down into Canada. How many of you know Canada? They need God really bad. Canada's massive messed up soon to outlaw Christianity, I'm told.

I don't know about all that, but Canada needs a move of God over to China, over to Russia. I just saw it covering the earth and he said, I'm sending you to be a part of it. And I saw the school on fire and I saw all kinds of things. And from that we concluded to come here. So now we're here in 2006, 2007, some of you might remember it, they had a great healing.

I think it was Northgate. I have to go check the dates to be sure. So you know, that's a while ago. 2007 is a little while ago. It was Northgate.

They used our building at Lucille street to have a healing service. And, and they brought up different ones, Randy Clark's ministry. Different ones they brought up. And, and the place was packed out at that meeting. There was a prophetic lady who came and had the same vision of this pipeline of God's power coming to Alaska.

That's what, that's why we came. We didn't come here for a job. We came here to be a part of the golden oil of Zachariah, which is really a picture of the Holy Spirit and it is a picture of the house of the Lord will be a place of prayer. It's about rebuilding God's house in context of Zechariah. And so we came with our two little ones.

Had we known the fight that was going to happen, I don't know, we might have. We might have got cold feet. You know, God doesn't show you everything. He gives you pieces of it and then he anoints you. And as you move forward, we call it progressive apostolic vision.

Progressive. That means when you move forward in vision, he gives you a little bit more and you move forward and he gives you more. And as you obey, he begins to. He doesn't give you the land all at once, only little by little, because in so doing it builds a strength in you, builds a faith in you. It doesn't just boom, give you the whole network because you showed up and smiled.

There are many things that happen in the course of fulfilling the vision that God has for you. And that's what this is about. That's what this text is about. You fulfill the dream, the vision God gave you. When you give everything, you have to see it happen.

If you're not willing to give everything you see everything you have to see it happen, then you don't really have a vision from God. You have a fantasy.

The difference between vision and fantasy is this. Now, let me. Let me see if I can describe it. God gives a vision, it'll be biblical. It'll align biblically, it'll be confirmed.

He gives a vision, right? Like the vision I had that brought us here. Like the vision you had years ago, being prophesied that you would be used in education with the house of the Lord and the outpouring of the spirit, and it would go all over. Right? Had the vision, a vision from God.

Lots of people have a vision from God, but it becomes a fantasy. The different is when God gives you a vision, it's biblical, it's confirmed, he's spoken to you clearly. And then the difference is what you do when God gives you a vision. You have to give your everything to see it fulfilled. Otherwise, you're living a fantasy.

That's good preaching. I'm gonna go in men myself. Amen, Pastor Daniel, I'm not sure what you just said, but amen. I don't want to be in a fantasy. Come on, somebody say, I don't want to be in a fantasy.

God has a vision for your life. He has a vision for this house. He has a vision for the school. He has a vision for your business. He has a vision for your family.

He has a vision for your kids. And without vision, you have a tendency to drop out of life. If you don't have a vision that wakes you up in the morning filled with passion and fire, you better get one, because you'll have a tendency to drop out of life. Many people want to do something great, but not willing to pay the price, not willing to do what God requires them to do. And as a result, they slide over into fantasy.

Every significant thing in life starts with vision. Come on, lift a hand and say, oh, God, increase my vision. Say, Jesus, I want to see what you see. Come on, from your heart, say Jesus. Jesus, I want to see what you.

Because God gives vision. The key to this text is found in verse 35.

Do you not say that there are still four more months? Then comes a harvest. Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields are already white with harvest.

I remember fishing the Russian river, which I just can hardly wait to do again.

And I remember going fishing and I couldn't catch anything. I mean, this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I mean, what do you mean they don't bite the hook? What do you mean you have to floss them? What are you talking about?

Well, you know how you floss your teeth? That's what you do with the fish. That's it. It's called the canine shuffle, The flip.

And I saw people down at the Russian river there. There. We were fishing, and they were catching fish. And I'm like, goober. I mean, I'm having a hard time with my attitude.

And this guy's like, jack, look at all the fish. I'm like, where? He says, oh, dude takes his glasses off. He says, you need these. And he hands me a pair of polarized glasses.

I slid them on and entered into the glory of the Lord. I put those on. I was like, whoa. I mean, you could walk across the river on their backs. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

I'm like, I want. He wants his glasses back. I'm like, dude, whatever. Let me just tell you. I went straight out and bought a pair of fishing glasses that were polarized because I could see the fish.

I still couldn't catch those stupid things.

Vision matters. You can see all. They're piled up behind that rock right there. They're just behind that root wad right there. Or root rod.

How many of you know what a root. One. Never mind.

Before the text, just before we started reading. I'm going to look at this for a moment. John 4. 4. Jesus is on this divine mission to give you context of what we looked at.

As I begin to teach to you while sliding over into preaching. When I get fired up. John 4. Jesus had to go through Samaria. I love the King James.

Must needs go. Must needs. I like that. Why is that? Because Jews didn't go to Samaria.

Why didn't Jews go to Samaria? Because Samaria, it's his region. It's his people. And of ancient Israel, in the time of Jesus, they were hated. I mean, hated.

Prejudice. There was prejudice. And Jesus goes to where you aren't supposed to go. Rabbis would go around Samaria. Samaria was a place of a mixture.

And if you. If you study how Samaria came about and why they were hated, it's really in the history of Samaria. I've taught it to you at other times, David. A man after God's own heart. We're in that series.

I'll get back to it Wednesday by The grace of God.

David, a man after God's own heart, blows it with Bathsheba and God forgives him. But it has an effect in his life. It's a picture of generational sin. He blows it with Bathsheba and he's judged. And you see this ripple effect in his family.

Because Solomon doesn't have a problem with just adultery. He has a thousand women.

I have the most incredible wife requires to be a good husband, to be spirit filled. Because I, I just, I just have challenges with the different things just being a man. I'm certainly not talking about lost. God dealt with that long ago. I'm just talking about being Christ, like to my wife.

How are you going to do that with a thousand women? No, you must have lost your ever loving mind. And he did. And because of his 600 women. It's not thousand women.

It's 600 wives and 300 concubines. Okay, brother Pharisee, that's true. I just said a thousand is a round number. He's led astray and, and judgment comes to him from the Lord. And the Lord says, I'm going to take the kingdom.

I'm going to divide the kingdom, but not in your lifetime. For the sake of your father David. I love how his mercy is given because of the way that David lived. Except for the issue with Bathsheba. The way that you live will have an effect on your whole family.

You've got to have vision. Now those kids that prayed that prayer and see this building, I want them a part of anointing it. When we go into anoint it and bless it and everything. You should get every kid put oil in their hand and they just slap it everywhere as we direct them so we don't ruin the paint shop.

Gonna pray and sanctify that thing. I'm gonna have those kids out there setting stakes on all the four corners. We're going to go for it, and they need to be a part of it. Why? Because then they'll see actually what it is to walk by faith.

They'll see what it is to actually see something sanctified and set apart. And years from now, when they look back and they're in some far flung missionary place having great revival, they'll be like, I went to King's Christian School and they'll send their kids there. I see a dormitory also.

I see a dormitory.

Vision. Vision. And so the kingdom was broken into Rehoboam and Jeroboam. Rehoboam was the son of Solomon. We call him the Bohem.

Boys, if you can't remember the two next kings, the Boem boys, what's it called? They're called the Bohem Boys.

The 10 tribes to the north, Jeroboam, the south is rehoboam. The 10 tribes are brought out into captivity. That's called the diaspora. What's it called? The Diaspora.

And one of the things the. The conquerors, Assyrians would do is they would take a group of people and they would displace them in another. Another land, and they'd take people from that land and they would place them back where they came from. And that's what Samaria was. So Samaria had this mixture of faith, and they were hated because of their mixture of faith.

And Jesus goes to Samaria. It is absolutely profound, a divine appointment with this woman. He reveals himself. Look at verse 26. He reveals Himself to a Samaritan woman.

And I love the fact that he takes time to talk with her. He breaks all cultural norms. And he sits with a woman while the why the disciples are out getting lunch, thinking about their bellies, thinking about their food. He's breaking open a new territory, meeting with a woman. And it's not just a woman.

She comes at the heat of the day indicating what kind of woman she was. She had. Perhaps we're reading between it a little bit, but he does prophesy and say, the man that you now have is not your husband and you've been with some other husband. She's a house wrecker.

She was broken. She comes during the day because she couldn't come when the other women came to get water, because she had taken advantage perhaps of some of those others.

And she's there. And he reveals himself to this woman. Verse 26. Jesus said to her, I am he who speaks you. He corrects her theology.

He speaks to her. And there are people all over the valley. There's people in your life that are waiting, people that you come in contact with at cars, Fred Meyers, Walmart, people you'll come in contact with on the job that need you to talk to them, spend time with people, listen to them, because they need help. This woman needed help. And Jesus says, I'm the Messiah.

And she becomes this evangelist and she goes back to the men. Now that she doesn't say to go to the women, she goes to the men, goes throughout all the town. In fact, when Jesus said, say not four more months, for the fields are white, it is said that they would wear white, that the men and the people from the village coming were all wearing White. It's a picture of the, of the wheat becoming white when it's ripe for the harvest. And he says, as they're coming, wearing white, it's a picture of people.

And Jesus says, food is to do the will of the Father, found in verse 32. But he said to them, I have food to eat, which you do not know.

Let me ask you, how is your life sustained?

You need food, you need air, you need water. I mean, these are not wants. These are real needs, their real needs. Without them, you don't have life. Did you know that?

If your hunger for God, if you don't have a hunger for God, something's wrong. If you don't have a desire to do God's will, you're messed up. Well, you. You talking about me? Oh, yeah, I am.

You wonder why your life is in such pain. And you're. You. You got depression or anxiety or fear or are you, are you getting in my business? I'm certainly trying to.

If you let down your guard and hear the word of the Lord, you've got to have a desire to do God's will. It's not about you. It is not about me. It is about doing the will of God. And let me further say that just hearing the Word will never really satisfy you.

Just hearing God's word will never truly satisfy you. Think about Bartimaeus and, and John. Mark. Mark is the one who abandoned the missions team with Paul. He was there when Jesus fed the 5,000.

He was there when Jesus did miracles. The coin out of the fish's mouth. He was there. He saw Lazarus raised from the dead. He saw all these things.

And yet when he's there on the missions team, he sees Elimas bar Jesus, this sorcerer and this blindness. And it seems that he was so freaked out by what took place that he left the missions team. I don't know if you've ever done missions. Many of you are going to do missions. We're going to do more short term, short term missions.

We're going to do long term missions. We're going to spread the good news of Jesus all over the world. Come on, somebody say amen.

But if you leave the team, bra, that's a disqualification.

Come on. If somebody doesn't come in on time, are you going to keep. I mean, if we have teachers that don't show up, do they stay on the staff? And we didn't have that happen, but you're fired. So this young man did something that basically required him to be fired.

And Paul said, I'm not bringing him. We're not taking him. We're not taking him. And Barnabas said, yeah, we need to take him. And they have this fight and it's that.

It's Paul and Silas and Barnabas and John Mark and two missions teams now start, and he brings them right back to Cyprus. What all the teaching of Jesus with all the miracles couldn't do happened when Barnabas took John Mark. You can listen to the Word. You can listen to the word. You can listen to the Word, but it's.

It's actually. It's hearing. It's not just listening. Or you could reverse it. It's.

It's actually hearing the word that changes you and you begin to act differently. The only thing that'll satisfy you. Please hear me. Please hear. This is not hearing about the will of God.

And it's not watching somebody else do it. It's actually you doing it. It's you actually getting involved in the harvest. The harvest is here. The harvest is here.

In your notes on the screen. The harvest is here. You've got to receive a vision for the harvest in your life. You have to receive a vision for the harvest. Next point.

Thank you. Receive a vision for the harvest in your life. God wants to increase you. God wants to expand you. God wants you to grow.

God wants you to flourish. He wants you to fulfill his plan. He wants us together to see that come to pass. And you have to commit to doing that.

Know what God's will is. Everybody say, know what God's will is.

Now you. How do you know what God's will is? Well, you know it from the word. You know it from praying. How do.

How did we know that Headmaster Susie was to be the. The leader of our school? I mean, we're celebrating the school today, so I'm gonna pick on your whole service and your amazing family all behind you. They call her the Sues. What's up?

How do we know that God had prepared her heart, God had prepared mine? And as I'm praying, like, how are we going to do this school? How am I going to do it? Like, Lord, do you know this is, like, impossible? We need a leader.

And I, and I, I surveyed. I talked to people. I talked to people who did schools, talked to leading pastors and churches across America. They all told me the same thing. If you don't have.

If you don't have somebody, they'll give their life for the school. Do not start it. Because you can't give your life for the school and the church. If you don't have. If you don't have somebody to do that, do not start that.

I heard it over and over and over. And so I'm just saying, lord, we don't have that. I thought maybe it was one of our staff, but it's not. And so we prayed. I.

It was the same place that I was standing when I texted you. I felt like the Lord said, just text her and offer the whole leadership of the school. I was standing in the same place. Now, you don't want to make a doctrine out of that, but I just so happen to be standing in the same place where God spoke to me, releasing all the resources and funds to finish our project. There's certain places in God.

It's like an altar for me. It's right by my wife's chair of, of glory. She has this chair where she sits. It's right next to that chair. There's probably something about that know what God's will is.

And he spoke to me. We, we took action. And she said something like, I can't believe you're texting me right now. I didn't know if I was in trouble.

She had resigned. Oh, oh, come on, Headmaster, tell, tell him the story. Tell what happened. I was, I was your cushy office.

I had been hired to be the Commissioner of education for the state of Alaska and accepted the job. And I was about a month into a transition time when I would take over completely. It was during that transition time when I just didn't have peace about it. And I had called another pastor friend from the one that had prophesied that I would actually start the school. And I said, I have zero peace.

And here's why did I did that. And he goes, you can't take that job. Like, you're right, I can't. So I quit. Which doesn't happen when the governor offers you a job.

You don't just say, thanks, but no thanks. But I did. And I was turning in all of my equipment to the state when you texted me. And he had no. Pastor Daniel had no idea that I was doing that.

When he asked me, he, well, I knew that I would start a school. I just didn't know when because I had been prophesied that. And so I was just, no, I, I, I quit not knowing. I just like, this is it. I'm done.

And then you texted me 20 minutes after I turned in my equipment. That's what happened. So who could do that but God? See, when you know, when you have a vision for the harvest and when I Say harvest. I plug in what it's about souls.

It's not just about your business. It's about your business so that your business can hire people, so your business can do the things of whatever your business is so that you can fund the kingdom. It's more than about putting food on your table. It's about souls. It's about souls.

You're governing for the cause of the kingdom. Why for souls? For the sake of the kingdom of God. You're building that thing got to provide for you. Why?

So that God's kingdom is expanded. That's what it's about. It's about souls. The school is about souls. The church is about souls.

It's all about the harvest and it's its various ways. So that's for everybody. Pastors, leaders, people in government and all the areas of. Of influence. That's what it's about.

It's about bringing the kingdom of God in the earth. So that's everybody in various places and responsibilities. The body of Christ. So when you know what God's will is, you move forward in that. It gives vision.

It's fantasy. If you're not willing to move forward, not willing to get up, you're not willing to pray, you're not willing to sacrifice everything for the cause of fulfilling that, then you're never going to see it happen. It's a key. It's a key. Loving, not your life so much as a shrink from death.

If you did not hear that message, go back. I preached it last week. Somebody said it is the single best message I've ever preached. I don't know. I don't know about that, but it's a powerful word.

Last weekend, and it's on YouTube. Go listen to it. Postponing your involvement in the harvest is costly. Everyone's called to be a part of it. And if you postpone, if you delay your involvement, the hard thing about that is you do not know what price you will pay for that.

What do you mean? What price? Well, let's just. Since we're picking on the school, we'll pick on Sue's again. What would happen if she didn't do it?

Okay, Mr. Super Faith. God will raise up somebody else. Okay, agreed. God would have raised up somebody else. But in that moment of delay, or I've seen things take many more years because people did not obey, and then the Lord's looking for someone, and yet they delay.

They delay or they postpone their involvement. They procrastinate. Oh, what? How important could I be? How important could I be really well.

You have no idea. I couldn't find my hinder parts. King James with two hands and a survey team. I don't even know how I'm. Some of you will get that on the way home.

I don't even know how I'm. How I'm here. I don't even know how any of this has happened except for the fact service after service, we just kept saying yes. And a team of people began to come. And they're still coming week after week, day after day, showing up to pray, showing up to serve.

Come on. We did all the toilets, did all that. Your first children's pastor right here. First youth pastor right here. Jesus.

So many issues. When we got here, God came and healed. And you said, well, this church has issues still, so do you. Keep coming, we're going to work it out.

Someone said, if you find the perfect church, don't go absolutely. Because you ruin it. You.

If you postpone involvement in the harvest, I mean, postpone your involvement in, in the church. Postpone your involvement in seeking God. Postpone, involve and postpone your involvement in giving. Postpone your involvement in serving at the school, serving at the King's School of Ministry, serving at young adults, serving in youth. Whatever is on your heart.

Whatever is on your heart. Think about, think about you. If you just wallowed in your, in your mess and you had a big mess, I mean, you got kicked out of counseling. When they kick you out of counseling, you got issues, they're like, we can't help you. You're permanently messed up.

But God, and he touches you, he touches you. Both y' all get married and you quit sitting and then you're not looking to shank somebody in Walmart, puts his hand on you, raises you up, puts a fire on the inside of you along with so many others that prayed and prophesied over you. And you become an evangelist that's impacting America and, and Mexico. And the Lord says, I'm opening Europe. I will open Europe.

I will open Europe unto you. And you're not to question or to even compare. What I'm going to do through you is going to be astounding as it already is. There is another level of power and you've not delayed, you've not delayed, you've not postponed, you jumped.

You're gonna keep jumping.

When you told me you were going into full time ministry, I just wanted to tell you, dude, wait. Everything within me is like, oh, Jesus, Jesus. But the Lord shut my mouth. And I never said that to you. And I know you had other people like don't wait, do a job and, and that could be good for somebody else.

But. But you didn't postpone. You jumped and Jesus been catching you. And you. Are you being used of God to touch nations now Mexico.

And it'll go beyond that. You writing the book? Write the. Write the book. It's time.

Write the book. Throw everybody under the bus. Write the book. What, what, what will happen? You know, there, there comes, there comes, whoa.

Let's talk after church.

Everybody say, write the book. I'm being convicted now.

Gotta see what the Lord sees. Okay, did you understand the last point? If you postpone your involvement, there could be people that go to hell because you didn't say yes. Oh, I'm not qualified. Welcome to the non qualified club.

Noah had a vision. It's going to rain. What's that? I don't know. What are you doing?

Making a boat. What's a boat? I don't know. You're out of your mind. I'm obeying God for 100 years.

He builds a boat. Then it started to apparently do what's called rain. They didn't think he was crazy after that. I've had people look down at their nose at us and say, oh, how come you take so many offerings? Because we're paying the sing off in Jesus name.

Because we're trying to do what's impossible in the natural. And we understand that there's a flow of generosity that'll build a school, that'll build a church, that'll plant churches all over the world. If you postpone your involvement, you do not know what that will do to the purposes of God. Yes, he'll find somebody else, but you could have caused harm and you'll stand before God for it. Let's take a salah for just a moment.

Ooh. See what the Lord sees, Worship team. See what the Lord sees. You've got to see what he sees. Peter walked on water because he saw the Lord walking on water.

And the Lord said, come, you'll never get out of the boat unless you see what he sees and you hear what he says. You'll never get out of the boat because you don't have it. I can't do it. Yeah, that's right. You don't.

Go for it, son.

God's power is put on display. The reason you see what's taking place in the school, the reason you see what's happening here is because people have saying, oh, I can't, but you can. I'm going to do my part. I'm going to get involved. The sower and the reaper.

That's what's taking place right now. On the screen, sow and reaper. Thank you, sir. Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping. If you don't sow, you're listen everything you're doing.

Sowing, what are you sowing? Don't delay your involvement in the harvest. Plug in. Be a tither, be a giver. Be someone who prays fast.

Be a part of the school, help with the landscaping, different things. You can get that QR code as we talked about, but it's so much beyond that. I need a team of people. I need a team of people to go to Juno. Believe me, nobody's knocking down my door to get there.

I pray God, talk to leadership here that's qualified to go to Juneau.

Need somebody on the ground or. Bring them. Bring them. They might not be here. True, we prayed in others.

I'm sure we were prayed in. You know, what we're walking in is far beyond anything that we sowed. We're reaping someone else's. I. I think about different pastors and those who went before a previous generation. We're entering on into the generation that was even before you, Pastor.

You pastured here for 60 years. The Lord is causing a great harvest, a great harvest to come in. Don't postpone your involvement. Get involved. Have a vision.

See what Jesus can do. Your life, it's more than just about eating, working, going to church a couple Sundays out of the month.

I gotta close, but I will close with this.

My brother, a number of years ago was smoking weed, totally addicted to cannabis. I don't care if it's. I don't care if it's legal. It's a gateway drug. It'll destroy you.

All right, you're using cannabis cream on your knee. I think it's probably okay unless you're getting high. All right, so if you still want to use your cannabis cream, I guess that's okay. But if you're getting high, that's not good. Don't be intoxicated.

Intoxication's issue. So he was definitely not using cannabis cream. He was smoking all kinds of weed.

And on Covid, I was preaching off of a scissor lift in the parking lot of Lucille on a Wednesday night. And the spirit of God hit me while I was in that place. And I pointed at the cameras. I said, you're online right now, and you're addicted to cannabis. The Lord will set you Free if you'll give your life to him right now.

Now he says that he was totally set free. He rolled and fell out on the floor. God filled him and touched him. He. He said he's like, heard something.

Something came out of him. Something happened. That boy got up and from Malibu, California and the web stream made a plan to come to Alaska. Came to Alaska, gloriously saved, filled with the spirit.

Got a trailer, packed a trailer, moved here. When he moved here, I had a tree, a little seedling from the property here. It was this little seedling of a blue spruce. Some of you might remember with it. The largest blue spruce in the whole valley was on this property.

When we cut it down, I cried. We had to cut it down. I was right in the middle of where the sanctuary was going to go, just so I took seedlings of it. I thought, well, it might not be here, but I'm a plant seeds. I had one of those and I put it in my yard and I planted it and I watered it and I've watched it for these past winters, making sure no limbs fall on it.

I make sure it's. There's no dead trees around that thing. Nobody can. Nothing can crush that. It's my Chris Bracken tree.

It's a memorial. And that thing is not this big. Now. Now it's here. Some of you would be here, but you're not.

Because you see church and involvement as something that's, you know, selective. It's.

Maybe I'll go.

You need to plug in and plant.

Planted by the rivers, the trees don't grow big and tall. You don't get a mighty oak unless you plant. You know what a mighty oak was? Mighty oak was a nut like you that just held on. That's why you're a mighty oak.

Now an oak is a nut that just held on. I'm done. Lift your hands to heaven, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. We want to see what you see.

I pray on this very special day a release of faith for your people right now to get involved in the harvest. Whether it be education or be marketplace or marketing, business, arts. Then we would be used by you, Lord. We don't. We all don't.

We all don't aren't qualified. You qualify. You step over an unqualified person and you qualify them by your spirit and by favor. Supernatural favor and power. Greater is he that's in you than he that's in the world.

When he called, calls you. When he calls you, it's always beyond that which you can do in the natural and when he calls you, when he speaks to you, if it's impossible, it's probably God. And a vision from God always requires other people to be involved. If you could fulfill it, then that's. That's too small.

That's your vision. When God gives vision, it's big, it's large. You. It's vast. And he starts small.

Take a little, you know, he starts with like, take care of your car, get the trash out of your car. Take care of your home, take care of your wife, pay your bills on time, brush your teeth. That's how it starts. Wear deodorant, for God's sake. It starts with daily seeing him, praying, reading, being faithful, memorizing scripture, developing godly relationships.

And soon he begins to get. You begin to get bigger and stronger, and your shoulders begin to get wider. And. And soon he. He gives you an idea.

Oh, I prophesied over this family I'm trying to close. Prophesied over this family last year at the, at the Louisiana Conference, outpouring that God was going to give him a house. And they said, it's impossible. I said, if as long as you say it is, it is. He said, no, you don't understand.

I said, I don't need to understand. He's got a house for you. So they received it, they got touched. I came back. While I'm flying back, I get here, I think it was a Monday after the conference, And I texted him, what have you done?

You better do something with the word I gave you. So they're like, so they just start looking at Zillow.

The whole story is too long. They began to look. They look, they find the neighborhood. They kept driving past this house that they loved. And they would say, oh, that would be great.

Look. And the word was, I'm going to give you your dream home, and the home is going to be yours. To the wife, it's your house. That was the word. Time goes by.

They apply for a loan. They can't run two nickels together, and they get approved for a 350, 000 house. And the lady says, who's the stupid banker? To the banker, who's the stupid person that approved this because there's no way we can pay that. They said, well, you're approved.

So they start looking, they find a house that they like, but it's not the dream house. But they move forward, and they go on one final view of the house. And while they're on the way there, they pass that the dream house that they really want. But it's not for sale. So they go and they meet the real estate person.

It's going to become their dream. But it wasn't their dream. Real estate person comes up and says, you know, don't be mad at me. And she says, is there another house? She said, there is.

Is it that house over there? She says, yes. I heard that they might want to sell it, so I stopped by. We can go look at it now. They went and looked at it.

It is everything they've ever wanted. Oh, it gets so much better. They couldn't afford the house. They walked through it. They didn't tell the lady they couldn't afford it.

The lady says, you know what? House prices and everything. My husband died. I've fixed this thing up. And really all I want is what I've got into it.

I'll give it to you for 215,000, which is the exact amount they could begin to pay for the house they closed. And what the lady did is put in all new flooring, the same flooring they wanted, all new roof, every they're in. I went and saw the house. I'd show you a picture of it. I went and saw the house.

One year later to the day, they're in the house, you start moving according to vision. You don't move according to what you see in the natural. Move. Accord. Are you hearing me?

Move according to vision. See? Stand up on your vision. See what Jesus sees. Put your hands together.

Crazy God. Crazy for God. Well, I hope you were encouraged by God's word. Thank you again for listening to Kings Alaska podcast. God bless you.
