Relationship Leads into Kingdom Living

➡ 38:25 - John 20… I want you to see that this (gospel / way of kingdom living) is so for everybody…

39:00 - There’s a revelation in my (Dan’s) heart. But the focus should be that the revelation is OURS. Not trying to pray for everyone myself but equipping the body.

40:00 - Healings after other people have prayed. Bothers me. Pastor tells me that it’s because it’s a gift - No, not what God is saying.

40:45 - I used to pray for everyone. There’s a revelation in my heart. But God wants it multiplied.

41:00 - Jesus’ ministry was aimed at multiplying. We should follow His lead. We need to get back to His message - His pattern. Multiplying.

42:50 - Inner struggle / pain - Was asked the question, “Do you think there are a lot of people where you are at?” But I want to be where Jesus is at. I’m not seeing all healed.

43:50 - Jesus is the standard. And He imparted to a few men believing that they could impart it to the world and that the vision would never die. Let’s get back to that place. Back to the precedent that Jesus laid. Glean from what you see in the lives of other men but Jesus is the model.

45:00 - Get alone with Jesus and yield your heart. And keep growing.

45:10 - “Impartation” these days gets out of balance. There are things that only come through intimacy with God. I can’t impart who I have become - fearlessness, etc.

46:10 - David Hogan - misunderstood. People come to him and say, “I want to know the secret.” “I’m not telling you. Go get it from Jesus.” He says that we’re a Burger King generation - have it your way. Give it up.

47:15 - “Are there many people where you were at?” I’m not the standard. Early ministry. Praying for all the people who had needs. Something was unhealthy. I shut down for a year. Find a healthy place. Want to reproduce the kingdom.

49:10 - Short leg - Shortening leg anointing - Todd. Short leg in WV - excited. Who has never seen a leg grow? Pastor prays - nothing happens. Feeling under the pressure? That’s why nothing happens.

53:00 - Visuals and Faith - Visuals have impact. Your mind is the biggest detriment. The only way to get through this war in the mind is alone time with Jesus - to where you KNOW Him - you know His will - you know His love for the lady - you know His power. And faith comes out of knowing Him. Faith isn’t holding the feet and then trying to believe. If you are doing that you are too late. You’re not trying to have faith. You can’t locate and find faith at that point. It’s knowing Him.

54:10 - Short leg (cont.) - You’re probably thinking, “What more can I pray? What should I DO now?” Foundations of faith - knowing Him and His heart. Pastor really touched.

56:15 - Visuals.

57:00 - That same pastor goes on to demonstrate the kingdom - healing. So the whole thing was a great learning lesson.

57:45 - Gifts are fun and they get people’s attention. But the bottom line is that My sheep hear my voice. And faith works through love. And love is the most excellent way. So as we grow in the heart of God by spending time with Him - see what He sees…

58:50 - Hurting lady - Short leg - during WV sermon, I couldn’t preach any more. “She’s hurting.” Pain here and here. Short leg. She’s so important that God stopped my good preaching. Already healed. Built in lift.

1:02:15 - Discernment - That’s discernment - becoming one with the heart of God.

1:02:20 - I used to ask for the gifts. But there is striving that can come in there - waiting for the gift and becoming gift conscious. “Got to hear. Got to hear.” But go for the heart of God in the secret place and then the gifts just flow and you don’t even think about it. And there’s no pressure. You’re not trying to produce a thing or hear a thing. It just comes in the heart of God.

1:02:45 - Hurting lady - Short leg - (cont) - I wasn’t even thinking gifting. I was preaching and God stopped me.

1:03:10 - People sometimes call me and say, “I’m not going to tell you what the problem is. Get God to tell you.” No, ask and it shall be given. Something unhealthy about that.

1:03:40 - Teaching on word of knowledge - demonstration - 7 people - #1 prayer request - showing what’s available.

1:04:30 - We’re not trying to have gifts, we’re becoming love.

1:04:55 - Alone time with God. Right perspective in approaching God.

1:05:10 - Communing with God re: peace - Thank you for peace. That beats having someone lay hands on you and you feeling a sensation of peace. Because you can lose that sensation of peace.

1:05:45 - Let’s go deeper and know Him. And out of knowing Him, let’s move in who He is.

1:05:55 - So ministry is not what we do but who we are. That’s where ministry will be powerful.

1:06:05 - Example of communing. I pray out what’s true. I pray out the answer. Get in agreement with God. Kneeling / healing.

1:07:30 - Revelation always comes out of relationship. Not just through listening to others preach. They can point you to truth. But it becomes yours when you are talking right to the Father.

1:08:00 - When you are impacted by a truth, turn off the CD and commune it to the Father. Respond from your heart when something is touching you. That’s how it comes alive in you.

1:09:00 - Student at Global - Randy Clark’s school - doubts and questions. His heart was crying out for God reality.

1:10:15 - I have a mandate to only teach what is true in my life - what I live and experience. It comes out of my knowing (heart) not my knowing (head).

1:10:35 - Student (cont.) - clicks with Dan - When asked who would be the most helpful speaker at his home church, he said one guy - you’ve got to call Dan. “I want to know You at least like Dan knows you.” Heart came alive. I’m saved. Reality of God dawned on Him. Not supposed to be at Christ for the Nations. Called David Hogan. Invited down to stay with him. Most intense person ever met. Exposing the twists in the church. Seeing kingdom manifestations. American church. Invited to join ministry team. Praying for the dead to rise. 100’s raised from the dead. He was in confusion but God met him where he was. Marks on David’s body. This is not a game. This is laying down your life.

John 20

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. 18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her. 19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

Peace Between God & Man

(Making Kingdom Living Possible)

1:22:00 - Go to John 20:19...

1:22:40 - v.17 - not yet ascended to my Father - My Father / Your Father. My God / Your God - intense language. He’s our Father. Those are covenant terms. We’re family. First born among many brethren.

1:23:15 - Don’t cling to me - This doesn’t mean don’t defile me. But rather, I can’t be detained. Taking His blood to the Father.

1:24:00 - Man challenges Dan’s assertion of Jesus taking His blood to the heavenly tabernacle.

1:24:55 - I have to put my blood in the heavenly tabernacle on the mercy seat. He went there and made atonement. Made peace between God and man.

1:25:05 - v.19 - the same day in the evening - where was He? Making atonement. Power of sin crushed.

1:25:40 - v.20 - peace be with you - He just made peace between God and man. Angels proclaimed this before He was born - Peace on earth, goodwill towards man.

Commissioned to Unlimited Kingdom Living

1:26:10 - v.21 - as the Father sent me, I send you - He’s saying everything that God manifested to me and through me, I’m giving you the right to have. It’s yours. That’s huge. We can receive this.

[Funny interruption]

1:28:10 - Parenting - projectile poop.

1:30:00 - Back to the gospel… Look at the order. The first thing is peace between God and man. The war over sin is ended. Sin and its power is crushed. It’s peace with a purpose. It’s not just to go to heaven. It’s to get you back to original value (mint condition) and to equip you to be the body of Christ.

1:31:15 - Do you hear any limitation in that commission? In that purpose? Do you hear anything different about Him and us? Or is He giving us His calling? It’s the same. Amazing. He who believes in me will also do the things that I do - John 14:12. There are a lot of scriptures that we could quote.

Born of God for Kingdom Living

1:31:40 - v.22 - breathed on them - I want you to see this… He breathed on them. That’s how God brought Adam out of the dirt. Adam was just a form of what he was to be when God was molding him. He was only in the heart and vision of God. But as soon as God breathed into him, Adam became what God intended and saw for him.

1:32:00 - When he ate of the tree, Adam died. Not physically but inwardly - spiritually - separated from God. He went back to just a form of what he was intended to be. And instead of subduing, he was now subdued.

1:32:25 - So this is the picture of redemption - brought back to original value (condition). It’s the garden - seen through Christ. He’s the last Adam.

1:32:45 - So what He had done in putting His own blood on the mercy seat made the redemption of man possible. And now they are born again. They weren’t tares but wheat. Not dark but light. Their spirits became alive and were reborn.

1:33:15 - But still in Luke He tells them to tarry in the city, waiting for the promise of the Father. They will receive power.

1:33:30 - Why would all of this have to happen if all we needed was to go to heaven? We have the Holy Spirit so that we can do the things that He did. As the Father sent Him, He sent us.

Kingdom Living Leads into Multiplication

➡ 1:34:00 - The whole reason for preaching the gospel is to grow and multiply so that the glory of the Lord covers the earth. The original intention was that Adam and Eve would tend the garden and keep growing and multiplying until it would cover the earth. The garden wasn’t going to stay little. It was going to grow and increase. Man is the glory of God when he is redeemed and in Christ.

1:34:45 - Psalms 8 - Says that he was the glory of God (before sin). God put Himself in man. He had flesh to manifest Himself. That’s powerful.

1:35:00 - Israel in the Wilderness - As surely as I live the whole earth will be filled with my glory - Num. 14:21. I will raise up a people that love not their own life unto death. There is a people that love me more than their own selves. That’s what God was saying. A people redeemed and restored to be what Adam was intended to be. Last Adam. This was a prophecy.

1:36:45 - Let’s pursue and let this be in our day. Every generation has this possibility. Cover the earth with His glory. We can be this people. But we have to deepen the reason that we are saved. Our lives together will make a greater impact.

1:38:30 - Manifest. Others will see and believe. Goats / Sheep.

1:39:30 - Take time for the one. One + one +... adds up.
