Proverbs 29:18

Where there is no vision, the people perish.

There is something God is going to do today. He is directing you into your calling. Today your eyes will begin to open up to see your divine assignment on this earth. Without a vision, without knowing your assignment, without knowing the direction of where you are supposed to go, of what you are supposed to be doing each day, each week, you will perish. Without vision, the people perish. Perish meaning, you can perish spiritually. Perish meaning, you will not be walking in abundant life. You will not be having peace and joy and contentment, because part of the contentment that Jesus brings, is when we are in His will and obeying Him. That is a big part of the contentment that Jesus brings. Part of the contentment that Jesus brings, the peace that surpasses all understanding, is being in relationship with Him. Knowing that He is always with you and loves you and having a true relationship with Him every day. Knowing that He is protecting you and that His plans for you are good - that is part of what brings that contentment, that you can’t get anywhere else in the world. That is part of what brings that peace that surpasses all understanding that never leaves in any circumstance. But that is just part of where the contentment comes from. The other part, how to have full contentment, is when you are walking in God’s will. That full contentment will not come just by prayer and reading the word but not being obedient to God in every area of your life. You have to walk in obedience. You have to be fulfilling your purpose. That is where this full contentment and peace and joy comes from.

Every one of you has a purpose on this earth. And if you are here, if you are here in this place, I am telling you that God’s calling for your life is to be a warrior in His endtime revival army. It is His will for your life to be a messenger of this good news of Jesus Christ. And this prophetic good news, this good news that Revival is Now, not a gospel of religiousness, a gospel that carries no power - gospel means “good news” by the way - but true good news! The full gospel! The full gospel of Jesus Christ, that He has come in power to save AND heal AND deliver. And He can take away every yoke of the devil and bring you into abundant life and peace and joy - this good news! This is your calling to carry this good news to the world! But every one of you has a specific assignment in this revival! You each have a specific assignment. Some of you haven’t discovered what that is yet. It is time now to discover what your assignment is. Today you are going to learn how to discover what your personal divine assignment is from God.

God has a vision over this church and this revival. And this vision is that everything that has been lost that we see in the book of Acts, the way that God wanted church to be and how a believers’ life should look like, for all that was lost to be restored. For God’s power to be restored, for it to be not optional, or rare or obscure to find a church where God’s power is. But that it would be a must, because the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power. This is what God is doing in His revival now. He is restoring His anointing. He is also restoring the other aspects that have been lost in the book of Acts, like the Five-Fold ministry. The apostles and prophets by and large have been lost. He is restoring them. He is restoring these ministries that are so vital to have the power of God in the church; that are so vital to have the equipping that is needed for all believers to be truly victorious over the devil, have their spiritual eyes opened to know the devil’s schemes and to receive impartation and know how to walk in the anointing effectively. To have that kind of equipping, we need the foundation, the apostles and the prophets. Ephesians 2:20, the foundation is the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus as the chief corner stone.

So God is restoring the power of God, He is restoring the Five-Fold ministry and with this He is restoring the ministry of deliverance and healing. So that all who would come to the church, and all believers who go out in the world, would be able to deliver the people who are oppressed. Everyone who comes to the church, the demons can’t stay. The yokes must be destroyed. This is what God is restoring. This is His vision! I am sharing with you God’s vision for this revival, for this church. His vision that this good news, the full gospel, would go out to the ends of the earth, to every corner of the earth, to every nation, tribe and tongue. That people’s eyes would open up to see who He really is; that He comes on power to save, heal AND deliver. And that His power would be demonstrated, His power would be released. Eyes would open up as the power of God was demonstrated. Like Paul said, I came to you not with wise and persuasive words, but I came to you, demonstrating the power of God; so that your faith would no longer rest on wise words, man’s words for it, “you should believe in Jesus”, but no power. But that your faith would rest on God’s power. You would see yourself, you would taste yourself, you would experience yourself, you would encounter Jesus yourself and that is how the faith would come! And the faith would be real, the faith would be standing strong, it would last! Because you have seen, tasted, experienced, truly encountered Jesus; rather than just hearing about Jesus. 

This is God’s vision, that the church would be transformed, reformed. Drastically! Radically! To look like the book of Acts!!! This is God’s vision. It is God’s vision that every believer would be equipped and mature, like how it speaks of in Ephesians 4:11-16, that God gave the Five-Fold ministry, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, for this purpose, to equip the believers, that they would no longer be immature, they would no longer be tossed to and fro by the devil, by doctrines of the devil, by religion; but rather they would be equipped and mature to have victory over the enemy and to do the works of God themselves, to do the works of ministry themselves, to be powerful vessels of God themselves to help other people. This is God’s vision, that believers would no longer be lukewarm baby-Christians, beaten up by the devil, having no clue about the spiritual principles and the secrets of the kingdom, which is in the Scripture. A Scripture that I read in Minneapolis; it is right in the time where Jesus is saying, “Blessed are you, who see, because there are people, there are Pharisees, who have eyes but they do not see, they have ears but they do not hear. But blessed are you, who see! The secrets of the kingdom have not been revealed to them, but they have been revealed to you.” This is in Scripture! It literally says, the secrets of the kingdom. And so it is God’s vision for all believers that their eyes would open up to know the secrets of the kingdom. The deeper things. The principles of the spiritual realm. There are principles in the kingdom of God. There is a way that God does things. Not just any old way, how we feel, what tradition does, what your mom did, what your dad did, what your grandfather did, what their church did - God has His ways! God has order! The revival we are seeing here, those testimonies of impartation, is because the secrets of the kingdom of God have been revealed here! Hallelujah! That is the reason why demons go quickly here, because the secrets of the kingdom have been revealed here. It is God’s will that the secrets of the kingdom will be revealed to the whole body of Christ. But it is up to the people to humble themselves, to be pure in heart, so their eyes can open up to see the secrets that they are missing! 

This is what God is doing now and it is growing! It is coming! It’s not all at one time. It’s not immediate. It’s not as fast as we would want it to be. BUT HE IS MOVING EVERY DAY TO OPEN UP EYE AFTER EYE AFTER EYE, to see these secrets of the kingdom, to see these good news that Revival is Now and that it’s not for you to just watch online and say, “Praise God, someone is set free!” But you too can come be set free! You too can receive anointing and cast a demon out of somebody too!!! This is God’s vision for revival and this is God’s vision for this Church. It is God’s vision that this transformation would happen in the whole body of Christ. It is God’s vision that, what 5F Church looks like, would be in every Church in the world! By that I mean, God’s power is moving. By that I mean, demons are being cast out, people are being set free, people are being healed, people are receiving impartation of anointing, people are being baptized in the Holy Spirit, people are actually surrendering their lives to Jesus! ACTUALLY SURRENDERING, not just saying a repeat-after-me prayer and living lukewarm and a double life. But they are actually giving their lives, laying down their lives for Jesus. They are actually being transformed into the image of Jesus. They are actually becoming selfless, having servant hearts, becoming pure in heart and humble and truly Christ-like. That’s what is happening at 5F Church, glory to God! I don’t just speak this, I am speaking the testimonies that have been shared over years now. You, many of you here, have been transformed to be like Jesus. To be more like Jesus. You still have ways to go, some of you, yes. But you’ve become more like Jesus. You’ve become more selfless, more servant-hearted, more pure, more humble. Is that anybody here? 

Hallelujah! Praise God!

That’s what I mean, when I say, what is happening at 5F Church, God wants to do in every church. I say this humbly. I’m celebrating what God is doing here. The miracles. The transformation. All glory to God! He wants this to be in every church. People have free will. It is not a forceful thing. But as we carry this good news and shine our lights and be the example, one by one by one, people are drawn to that light. One by one by one, believers are transformed. Pastors are transformed. Churches are transformed. New churches begin and become more examples. God’s vision in this revival and for 5F Church is that there would be a great expansion, a greater expansion, a much greater expansion. His vision for 5F Church is that we would grow SO BIG that we would have to move out of this place and go to a bigger venue, and in time grow to a bigger venue than that. His vision is for people to flock all around the world. Even more people are traveling every single week, glory to God. Today we have at least four or maybe five nations, where people have traveled from to come here today. In Minneapolis people traveled from eight different nations. This is happening every week, but this is small compared to what God has in store. God’s vision is for so many more to flock all around the world to receive here, so that they can receive this impartation and go out to their cities and nations and churches, and their ministries if they have a ministry, and carry this fire. To come and receive here like a well. To be equipped and to receive more impartation, so that they can be stronger, their fire can be stronger and revival can grow more in their city, in their nation. It’s God’s vision for the millions of the people that live in LA, for many more of them than currently, to be here with us every Sunday. To be saved, to come into the kingdom. To be healed and set free and walk in their purpose. This is God’s vision for LA! That we would grow and grow and grow and grow! It is God’s vision that many more people must hear this good news and see our light and come into the kingdom. Here in LA and all over the world. This is God’s vision! It’s God’s vision that many more apostles and prophets would rise up, He would call and He would anoint, so that more equipping can take place all over the world and in different churches. For 5F Church it is God’s vision that we would have many branches all over the world. These small groups that have begun, there’s about 40 now, it’s God’s vision that they would become branches in His perfect timing. Hallelujah!

His vision is so massive!!! This vision He has is so bright! So exciting! So beautiful! So glorious! So much more even of heaven coming to this earth. So much more even of God’s kingdom at hand. So many more people coming into the kingdom. So many more miracles. So many more testimonies. So many more miracles that we haven’t even heard of yet. So many more people being risen from the dead. So many more signs and wonders. 

And it is God’s vision that the work of God would go forth with excellence. People in the world, people who have successful businesses, they are successful, because they are people of excellence. They have chosen to work hard. They have chosen to do things with seriousness and excellence, with no compromise. They have chosen to sacrifice a lot. If you see any successful people, successful businesses and such - if you think about Apple and Amazon and all of these big companies; they didn’t get there by being lazy. They didn’t get there by doing things half way. They didn’t get there by not giving their all and making such a sacrifice. How much more should it be for the work of God? People pour their heart and soul, blood, sweat and tears to these companies, to these products, to this vision and idea that they have; such as the iPhone or something. It comes with so much success and now most people have an iPhone, you know? They are pouring their whole lives into it, they are pouring their heart into it. They believe in that vision. They care about that vision. But they are doing it, so they can have their own personal success. So that they can have fame. They can have riches. They can be notable. They can have a sense of purpose. 

How much more should it be for the kingdom?! How much more should we devote ourselves to God’s work?! Our love for God should be greater than these people’s love for themselves and love for success! Our love should be greater and stronger! If you will make the choice to surrender your life to Jesus, God will transform your heart and make your love for Jesus more powerful and stronger than people’s love for success and money and fame, that truly leads to such great success. So what I am saying is, if we would devote ourselves more, surrender ourselves more to God and pour our heart, pour our soul, blood, sweat and tears, pour our lives into the work of God and to being servants of our master to fulfill His vision, how successful could the kingdom of God be?!! How excellent could the work of God be on this earth?! HOW MASSIVE COULD REVIVAL GROW?! With God helping us!!!

People in the world have this kind of success, bring this kind of excellence, and they need luck, they need connections, they need giftings, they need money. BUT GOD’S POWER TRUMPS ALL THOSE THINGS!! God’s favor trumps all those things!! We don’t even need all the things that successful people in the world need. What I am trying to say is, God is calling all of you, all of us, to devote ourselves to fulfill God’s vision! And it is BIG! It is MASSIVE! It’s bigger than an iPhone! It’s bigger than Amazon! It’s bigger!! 

It takes something to see that big vision accomplished. But with God all we need is to lay down our lives, devote ourselves to God; and God’s anointing and God’s hand upon our lives. And that’s it. We don’t need anything else. God will do the rest! It is actually much more simple, much more restful, much easier than the success in the world. We don’t need luck. We don’t need connections. We don’t need a resume. We don’t need to be a genius. We don’t need tons of money. When we serve God, when we give our all to God, God will provide all of those things. But it will be God that is doing it.

This is a prophetic message here today, that there is a massive vision that God has for you, for us, for this church, for this revival. But we can’t just sit back and wait for it to be fulfilled. We have to do our part. We are the servants, He is the master. He has the vision, He has the plan. But we are the ones that bring it forth with His help, with His power! It doesn’t happen without us doing our part. Without us devoting ourselves to fulfill God’s vision.

God has created you for a purpose. And you don’t have to wait. Some of you are even young here and you are finding out your purpose right now. You don’t have to wait. There may be other things revealed later on, that bring you into the fullness of your calling, the fullness of walking in your purpose, of why you are created. But the majority of it, the bulk of it, you can know right now. It’s what I have just shared with you right now. It is spreading the good news of the full gospel of Jesus Christ, the true gospel. Spreading it! And healing the sick and casting out demons. But it doesn’t necessarily have to mean that you personally every day have to heal the sick personally and cast out demons. But it means that you need to devote yourself to the work of God where people are being set free from demons and being healed and being risen from the dead. This is all of our calling to preach the good news, to preach that the kingdom of heaven is at hand! It is here! Heaven has come! You can live a heaven on earth life. You don’t have to be in shackles by the devil anymore. And to heal the sick and to cast out demons. And to raise the dead. That’s all of our callings, but it’s not like every single one of us just goes out and says, “Okay, I need to find people to cast demons out today”. The revelation of this is that every single one of us must devote our lives to seeing this vision of God accomplished. To see the work of God of the preaching of the gospel, of the healing of the sick, of the casting out of demons, of the raising of the dead, of the equipping of the believers; to see that happen - devote ourselves to make this work of God go forth, devote ourselves to make sure the work of God is going forth with excellence.

This is all of your calling. And you can start right now. You don’t necessarily need this prophecy of your part to play in this. But what I am telling you today, is you have a specific part to play, a unique, individual assignment in this revival. If you are here at 5F Church, if you are planted here at 5F Church, you have an assignment from God to help accomplish this vision! YOU HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL, DIVINE ASSIGNMENT! You do!!! You!! You have your own! And it is time to step into that! 

When there is no vision, the people will perish. So now it is time to have the vision! First, I shared with you, this is God’s vision. But you also need to have the vision that God has for you, within God’s vision. You need to know what your unique assignment from God is. So how will you know that? 

Psalms 37:23

The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Once I was young and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread.

This says, the Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. The Lord directs your steps. If you love Jesus and you have given your life to Him and you are doing your best to walk in obedience each day, I say to you now: The Lord directs your steps! He is directing your steps. The Lord delights in every detail of your life. He knows about every detail of your life. He delights in it. He delights in guiding your steps. He delights in you walking in His will. He delights in seeing you be used as a vessel of Him to help bring forth His vision. Hallelujah!

So first of all, you need to have some godly confidence right now that God is and is going to be directing your steps - to reveal, to show you, to make it known, your individual assignment. Your part to play. When it comes to knowing what your assignment is, sometimes it can come through a prophecy and it comes like, “What??!! I never would have guessed that!” That was me! If I had to guess my divine assignment, it was to be a Christian singer. But that wasn’t it at all. I never had any kind of feeling that I was going to be a minister. But a prophecy came forth for my life, that I was called to be an apostle. So sometimes the individual assignment can come through a prophecy. But not always! If not the prophecy, it is coming by the Holy Spirit who lives in you, directing your steps and revealing to you, moment by moment, day by day, revealing to you more. “I want you to do this now; I want you to do this now; I want to use you in this way.” The Holy Spirit will speak to you. 

If you feel this pull to do something for God and it aligns with the new wine, it aligns with order - it has to align with order. God has order. So right now, for example, it is time for you to hear the word of God. It is time for all of the people to hear the word of God. Nothing else, right now in this exact moment. So if someone all the sudden is sitting here and feels this urge to prophecy something, right now in the middle of the message, that’s not God. “Oh, but I feel I need to prophecy something good.” It can be even something good like, “Jesus loves you. There is someone here that needs to know that Jesus hasn’t forgotten about you.” It can be something truly good and beautiful, but it could be the angel of light, the devil masquerading himself as an angel of light, to try to bring disruption and have people distracted from the word of God. That is what I mean by, God has order. And I am just giving you a little teaching. I have many more teachings of this in a playlist on my Youtube, called “God’s Order”. I also have a playlist called “Relationship with God”. And there are going to be teachings on that playlist on my Youtube, that share how to hear God’s voice. There is also a “Freedom from Religion” playlist. And there you will learn how to make sure you are not being deceived by the devil masquerading himself as an angel of light. I have these playlists there for a reason. They are very important. They are having to do with hearing God’s voice, being free of religion and walking in wisdom and God’s order. I definitely encourage you to go check this out, because what I am sharing with you today, is that you need to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to you specifically. To you! Personally! So I really advise you to look at those messages to make sure that you are not being confused by any other voices or your own personal desires. 

But back to what I was saying, when you feel this pull to do something for God and it is in line with His vision, the vision I shared, and it is in line with God’s order and you know that it is not out of selfish ambition to do this thing, it is not like you feel this pull to do something because you want people to see you as spiritually important, or you feel this pull to do something because it is a performative religious action - so as long as you know that it is not in a selfish motive and it is in God’s order, when you feel a pull to do something for God, aligning with His vision, that is an indicator, God is revealing to you your assignment. He is revealing to you more of what He is wanting you specifically to do in this revival.

Proverbs 12:15 AMP

The way of the [arrogant] fool [who rejects God’s wisdom] is right in his own eyes, but a wise and prudent man is he who listens to counsel.

When it comes to discovering what your part to play in this revival is, your individual assignment, God is going to be speaking to you, the Holy Spirit is going to be speaking to you. But how you hear the Holy Spirit’s voice comes with having wisdom. How does wisdom come? This verse says, by listening to counsel. In other words, by being planted where God has called you to be planted, and listening to the counsel, listening to the teachings, being a disciple of the teachings. These teachings equip you, give you wisdom, impart wisdom to you, open up your spiritual eyes: This is really who God is! These are His ways! This is His character! These are the ways of the kingdom! Oh, this was religion, but this is new wine! The understanding of the new wine! So as you hear the teachings and meditate on the teachings and apply the teachings and be a true disciple, you literally are having your spiritual eyes opened up each day; you literally are being cleaned from all the wrong doctrine, from religious old wine doctrine, from the wrong doctrines of how to hear God’s voice and you actually were being deceived by the angel of light. Through these teachings there is a cleaning of the wrong things, that got you deceived and confused. And there is a pouring in of anointed, true spiritual food. There is a pouring in of wisdom that opens your spiritual eyes, opens up your spiritual ears, so now you can really be hearing the Holy Spirit. If the devil ever tries to come as the angel of light, you know it! And you reject it! And you won’t be confused or deceived, because you have positioned yourself to receive wisdom. That’s how you’ll be able to know, this aligns with God’s vision, this is truly the Holy Spirit, because it is not out of religion I am doing this and the motive isn’t for my selfish gain. By being a disciple of the teachings, that’s how this wisdom will come to you, where you can really be hearing the Holy Spirit’s voice every day. And He can guide you. You will be confident, this is my assignment! This is my assignment here! 

Your assignment has to do with spreading this good news. This is a big part of your assignment, more than ever right now in this year of acceptance. I have been sharing recently how the harvest is ripe, how God has been preparing hearts and it is time for laborers to go out there and bring the harvest. It’s prophetic timing, there was a hunger for flyers. We had so many flyers made. We have flyers every week now and they are being all used up. I heard, 800 were distributed by some of our 5F Church family here yesterday. Yesterday alone, 800 were spread out individually; passing to people, putting places too. There’s people out there who are just waiting to hear the good news. There’s people out there that are just waiting to be invited. They don’t know, they have not heard. They do not know, it’s a couple blocks away, ready for them to receive. Ready for them there! How will they know, if people don’t go out and spread the good news?, as the verse says, if people don’t tell them. This is the time now, more than ever, and I am so overjoyed. I’ve been seeing testimonies online as well from our online 5F Church family. Flyers are being spread out all over the world. Pat and Kelly, our 5F Church family from Pennsylvania, on their car they wrote with a marker, Revival is Now, on their window, 5fchurch.org. People are seeing it, they are having conversations. People are hungry and are coming hungry to receive now, because of how they are hearing from God, doing their individual assignment to spread this good news and be creative. And so many of you - I am so blessed. Keep sharing your testimonies. I’m so blessed to see this good news get out there. Through your words, through your flyers. There is another testimony. Marisa shared yesterday, she had a bumper sticker made, Revival is Now, 5fchurch.org. Somebody saw it, started a conversation with him, and it turns out he is looking for a church. 

As I shared last week, all of your seeds are leading to a harvest. All of your seeds, God is moving upon. So spreading this good news with excellence, with passion, with devotion, with creativity; not just going through the motions, but putting your heart and mind into it - How can my light shine brighter? How can people’s eyes see better? How can people want to listen more?; being creative; this is a big part of your individual assignment in this revival. Laborers in this harvest that are so needed. Especially right now! There will come a time where it is not as urgent to do the grass routes. I mean, it will always be. But there will be a time, when there is more media showing, you know? And that’s even how social media is now, but we can’t rely only on social media right now. We have to do more, because these videos are going everywhere, but they are not going on every single person's pages. But at the same time you can’t stop short of doing grass routes. Word of mouth. Don’t neglect your social media, because God is using that so powerfully. But we need to go to the highways and byways, everywhere, and put our devotion into spreading this good news.

Part of your individual assignment is spreading this good news and it is going to look specific for you. Like Kelly and Pat, they were led to write that on their car. Marisa was led to put the bumper sticker on. This is part of your individual assignment. God is going to be speaking to you, do this! Do this to shine your light to get the good news out! Do this creative thing to get the good news out there, to spread the good news. 

And the second part of your individual assignment is to use your gifts and your abilities and what God has put in your hands to advance the kingdom. 

The great commission is to preach the good news so the good news has to get out there, has to be spoken, but there’s also equipping of the believers that has to take place, there’s also a healing of the sick, a casting out of demons. You can’t only just spread the good news, you need to be a part of the actual work too. It’s like inviting people to the wedding but serving at the wedding banquet as well. Both, is your calling, is all of our callings. 

You have to figure out your part, I mean Holy Spirit is going to be revealing to you what your part is to play in the work of God. Take a look at the gifts God's given you. God wants to use those gifts for the kingdom. All of the gifts. Don’t overlook some of the gifts. 

For me, I thought singing was how God wanted to use me, that’s my gift. Let me offer my gift to God and that was good, I did that, but at the same time, public speaking was my fear and weakness but public speaking was like a gift, I just had to get over my fears. Do you see what I mean? But, I didn’t consider it a gift but I was an actress, I was a singer. What I mean is, I can be in front of people and I can open up my mouth. Do you see what I mean? But, I didn’t like to use that gift that I didn’t know was a gift, I should say ability. I didn’t like to use the ability of public speaking. I was good with a script. I could memorize. I could just go out there and do what I memorized. I don’t have to use that part of the brain of speaking “off the cuff” or speaking from the heart. Same with singing, I didn’t have nerves to do that. 

You have to make sure you’re not only focusing on your favorite gift or where you think your best gift is or where you think “that’s where God really wants to use me”. Maybe you have a great gift of music but it’s not God's timing yet for you to be on the worship team. Or in my case, it’s not God's plan for me to be on the worship team even though that would’ve been my original desire. You have to surrender everything and look at all of your abilities, all of your gifts, not just the things you see as gifts but what can you do to offer to God because maybe God wants to anoint it like He did for me. Maybe God wants to anoint your ability that you don’t see as a gifting and turn it into a GREAT gift to bless others. Many of you have abilities. There may be some of you where you say I don’t have any gifts. Maybe that is true but you all have abilities that God is planning to anoint and turn into a gift. 

I never in a million years would say that public speaking or preaching was a gift I had. Absolutely not. If you are here thinking, I don’t have a gift, you’re like me in that way. These abilities that you have, God wants to pour His anointing on and transform into a gift. 

I’m teaching you how to hear the Holy Spirit guiding you of your individual assignment. What are your gifts and abilities and where is the need? Where is there a need that you could fill? That you could help bring more excellence? That you could help take a burden away? As you open your heart to be used by God in any way, and you understand it means the need, where the need is, my abilities, giftings; you’ll hear Holy Spirit guiding you. Your assignment is having to do with using what God’s given you, so that’s your abilities, your giftings, your time, your efforts, and also your finances, what He’s putting in your hand. There’s some people where God has really blessed them and a big part of their assignment is to pour so much into the kingdom financially. That’s their individual assignment because that’s a BIG GIFT that God has personally put to them for the kingdom. There’s some people, there’s some of you that God gave you such intelligence, more than others, intelligence in the mind. There’s some of you He’s given GREAT gifting. There’s some of you He’s given this spirit of hustling. Like the spirit of readiness, the spirit of working hard, the spirit of urgency and you’re a GO GETTER. He’s given you that spirit. It’s like you were born with that or maybe even it had to do with your upbringing but all of these things, that kind of spirit, a hard work ethic like that, go getter, ability to talk to people, your gifts and/or finances, He’s given you these things for the kingdom. For some of you, He’s given you your intelligence for the kingdom, for the purpose of the kingdom. It has nothing to do with your personal success and your dreams. Same for money. Some of you, you’re so intelligent, you’re so gifted and that has brought you so much financial success. But the reason God gifted specifically you that is having to do with your individual assignment to bless the kingdom, to advance the kingdom of God. That’s your individual assignment, it’s not everybody's. Everybody is called to tithe. Everybody is called to be generous and allow God to have His way with their finances. He’s calling everyone for that but not everyone is it God’s will to be blessed so financially, but it’s yours for those of you that it’s you, it’s YOURS, you have that for the kingdom! That’s your individual assignment to give more than others because God’s blessed you with more. Freely you have been given this, freely you were given this gift in your mothers womb. Others weren’t given that gift in their mothers womb! Freely you were given this gift in your mothers womb to freely give to the kingdom of God, to give back to God. 

What is your individual assignment? What is God giving you for His kingdom? You all have more than enough. Not one of you should be thinking that you don’t have enough gifts, you don’t have enough ability. You have enough. Some of you need to reject the lies of the devil bringing insecurity because it’s clouding your vision to see. It’s clouding your ability to hear the Holy Spirit voice saying, I want to use you in this area. This is an ability I have given you, I want to use you in this. So to hear the Holy Spirit's voice guiding you about your assignment, you have to make sure you are rejecting the devil's voice of insecurity and fear and doubt. 

And when you start, when you start coming to God and praying and coming with this heart of surrender that I’m talking about, you’ll be amazed at how Holy Spirit starts speaking to you, how He starts guiding you, how He starts revealing to you I want you to do this. And then you start doing this, you start being obedient to serve Him and you’ll be amazed, He’ll reveal something else, I want you to do this. It’s going to keep growing, your assignment, how God reveals, how He wants to use you. When you’re faithful with little, you’ll be faithful with more. He’s going to start revealing other things, I want you to do this and He’s going to give you an ability and you’ll be shocked even, the ability that you now have, the gifting that you now have. He’s pouring His anointing upon you and He can use you in different ways you never would’ve imagined and it will keep increasing. You will do more and more for God, He will entrust you with more and more. And you’ll bring so many more into the kingdom, you’ll be more effective for the kingdom. God will use you mightily in this anointing, in this revival! 

Matthew 16:24 

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple],he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me].

God is asking for more from all of you. He is asking that you would be more committed and devoted to your individual assignment to fulfill God's vision. This is the prophetic word God is speaking now. He is asking for more. He is asking you to raise the standard higher. It is prophetic, this season we are in, the message even from last week, God is calling you higher, to a higher standard, calling you for more because there’s a great harvest out there that God is ready to bring in. But you need, we need to be ready. We need to be more devoted, more serious. 

God is asking for sacrifice and surrender, total surrender for Him. It’s a life of this. It’s a life of laying down our lives. It’s a life of picking up our cross to serve Him. It’s not just one time. It’s not just one season of sacrifice and it’s so important that we remember that it’s a life that we lay down. It’s not a year, or four, that we lay down for Him and then we just get to enjoy His blessings. We just get to enjoy the reward from us sacrificing. It’s a life of surrender. It’s a life of sacrifice. It’s a life of devotion to God. It’s a life of putting God first. It’s a life of denying ourselves. It’s a life of serving others before ourselves. It’s a life of loving others more than ourselves. It’s a life of being after God’s heart. And it’s so important, if you’ve been following Jesus for years, if you’ve been following Him for awhile, it’s so important that you renew your mind to this truth, that you renew your mind to this scripture that in order to be a disciple, to truly be pleasing the Father’s heart, to truly be effective in the kingdom of God, to truly be able to walk in the anointing and increase in the anointing, we have to lay down our lives continually. We have to continually humble ourselves and see and know that Jesus comes first. His work is PRIORITY. Seek first the kingdom of God and all of these things will be added. Your life will be SO BLESSED. But as He blesses you, you need to keep on seeking first the kingdom and then He adds more and more blessings but you need to keep on seeking first the kingdom, it doesn’t stop. You have to keep on making Jesus PRIORITY. You have to keep on humbling yourself to remember that you are not entitled to anything. You have to keep renewing your mind to know that Jesus is worthy of my all. Jesus is worthy of my surrender! 

In coming up to a higher standard that God is calling you to, it’s a new level of surrender. Because as God is calling you to be more devoted, that means a sacrifice. It means putting aside your selfish interests, some of them that you haven’t yet and put Jesus first, put His work first. 

Are you ready to go higher for Jesus? 

It’s time to see God’s vision fulfilled. It’s a big vision, we won’t see it overnight but it’s time to see more of it fulfilled as we go out and do our part to accomplish it. It’s time for this revival to expand! It’s time for more eyes to open up. It’s time for more people to hear this good news and be set free and be healed and be set on fire! Amen!? Hallelujah!
