Power and Potential

If more people would engage the deeper realms of God in the Secret Place, we would have epic transformation and change all over the world. Read Transcript


- We truly carry God.

We truly carry His presence

and we need a deeper revelation,

it's a growing revelation,

of who is inside of us.

That we can release Him wherever we go.

- His will is that heaven comes to Earth

and that happens whenwe're communing with Him.

- If a lot of people began to step aside

into their hunger for God's presence

and choosing to meet Himthere in the secret place,

our culture would look different.

(gentle music)

- Heaven is waiting on us.

It is waiting for the church to engage

and it doesn't even take that much.

Just begin with a small prayer of faith.

Carve out five minutes.

I mean, what God can do with that time.

I mean, people don'trealize that when we pray

it releases angels on assignments.

I mean, what if over a billion people

began to daily pray and carve out

this time to commune with God?

If you could see like anair traffic controller

that sees all the planes

flying around in the sky at once.

It literally, the whole mapis blacked out with lines.

There's that much activity.

I think that's what wouldhappen in the spirit

if every believer beganto develop a prayer life.

It would just be massive activity

and I think we'd begin to see

miracles, signs, wonders, and salvation

like the world has never seen.

- God's presence would manifest

in culture, in our lives, in our jobs

because the heart and the willingness

and the humility and thelonging would rise up.

It would ground swell.

- People that give God the opportunity

to move and He moves,

radical things happen.

I mean, we've seen revivals.

What is the main thing that happens

in revivals or the main precursor?

Prayer.

- The truth of what Godwants to reveal to the church

is gonna come to people individually.

And revival starts with each of us

having a relationship with him.

It's not just gonna be pouredout on the church corporately.

It's gotta be something

that burns within each of our hearts

passionately as ourfirst love relationship.

And as we are revivedin that secret place,

then I believe it spreads

to the body of Christ.

- Who we are in secret,

I mean that is who we really are.

That is our integrity,that is our character.

That is where we get equipped to then go

and do amazing things for God.

- And He will sometimes still,

without the integrity,

with that lack of relationship,

still show up because he's God

and he's supernatural.

But I think it's gonna go further

and be self-sustaining ifthere's that relationship.

- And I feel like so many people

in ministry and even worship leaders,

we're standing on stages,

leading people in songs

about connection and intimacy

and yet we've got none ourselves.

And you can only run

on that hamster wheel for so long

until you burn up and you burn out.

- I think that sometimes we overestimate

what our role is in the Kingdom

when we're young and over time

we start to recognize that we're in a body

and we can make mistakes

and do harm sometimes

when we're attempting to do good

and the secret place reconnects us

and reanchors us to that which helps us

understand if we're really abiding in him

and doing what He really wants us to do.

- God will give you ananointing to lead people.

You could be living in secret sin

and not having, a secretlife with God at all

and that anointing could still work.

Okay, God would still use you,work through you, do good.

I mean, He uses broken people everyday.

But you would be missing out

on the benefit of what it's all about.

- It's been said before.

It's like we need that as a foundation

to build on for the supernatural

'cause it can't just be all about power.

It's gotta be about relationship first.

And that way it's got the structure,

it's got the foundation.

It's more integrous and incredible

that then God can come and show up

with the power and the supernatural.

- We will see sons and daughters

take their place that God has given them,

that Jesus has given them.

That place of authority.

That place of power in the Holy Spirit

flowing through them

and we'll see the world transformed.

We'll see His love increase

and flow through peoplein a bigger message,

changing the atmosphere,

changing the world around them.

- That's what secret place does for you.

Where God takes an ordinary human being

and empowers them with supernatural power

to accomplish his purposesright here on Earth

because then you can say

they that know their Godwill do great exploits.

When you know your God,it is not by might.

It is not by power, but by his spirit.

All things, all things are possible.
