Pastor Keith teaches that biblical peace is not calm but divine order, a weapon against spiritual attack. He frames the heart as a vessel God governs, and says the enemy works through fear and anxiety to destabilize believers from within. Guard your inner world, he argues, and God's peace becomes your protection.

This program is brought to you in part by the friends and partners of 514 Grace Ministries. Coming up next, we want it to go, but biblical peace is much stronger than that. Peace is divine order Refusing to surrender territory to chaos.
Kingdom authority, Christ has given victory. Power in the word of God, breaking every captivity. I'm a citizen of heaven, redeemed at Calvary. Kingdom authority, Jesus reigns eternally. Kingdom authority, hell cannot silence me. The risen Lamb has conquered, now the enemy must flee. I'm a citizen of heaven, washed and made completely free. Kingdom authority, all the glory belongs to thee. I do not beg the night to leave.
I lift the name that demons fear.
Jesus is the light of life, and when he speaks, the path is clear. Grace is my covering, his Spirit is my flame. Truth is on my tongue, and there is power in his name. I'm seated with Christ, the serpent lies beneath. The cross has spoken, the tomb stands empty. I do not fight for victory, Christ won at Calvary. I stand upon his promises, his word is carrying me. We are citizens, citizens of heaven, born of the Spirit, redeemed and forgiven.
Yes, Jesus. Yes, Jesus. Yes. Yes, Jesus. Yes, I feel the Spirit of God in this place. Ah, if you would just all over the room lift your hands, lift your hands in adoration to God. Yes, let the minstrels minister.
Hallelujah!
Thank you for your presence, Jesus. Holy Spirit, we sense your presence. Yes, yes, Jesus. Yes, Jesus. We sense your presence, God. Oh, you're here, Father. Holy Spirit, minister please, sir.
Manifest.

God's presence is here. Yes, thank you for healing, God. Thank you for breakthrough, God. Financial breakthrough for your people. Yes, Jesus, we can feel you now, Jesus. Yes. Yes, yes, Lord.

All of you and none of me, oh God. Jesus, be glorified in this moment. And we thank you for your anointing. We thank you for your anointing, oh God. In Jesus' name I pray. And everyone said amen.
Amen.
Amen. I'm super excited this morning, so please bear with me. I, I'm Amen. I'm going to have to stay with my notes, so you're going to see me reading from the notes because this revelation that God has given me over the months when I was on sabbatical about the peace of God is profound. I'm saying this not because I'm teaching this. I'm saying this because God gave this to me in a download. And I honestly believe that when we understand the peace of God and how this peace that God gives, it's more than relaxation, it's more than comfort, it's more than power away from storms. The peace God gives. I wanna title this message this morning for those of you that are watching us, Online, when you hear about this peace, you're going to understand how peace is a disruption. Now that may sound like an oxymoron to many people that hear this, but peace is in fact a disruption. Peace— this is the title of the message— Peace: God's weapon of mass disruption. Peace, God's weapon of mass disruption. Because the divine order that guards the womb of purpose— let me say this— the divine order that guards the womb of purpose is the peace of God. Amen. When we understand why it's important to allow peace to reign, then we'll see why the enemy is fighting us the way he is fighting us. The Lord, uh, in Numbers chapter 6, verse 24 and 26 says this. Listen to the word of God. It says, the Lord bless thee and keep The Lord make his face shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace. Now, I broke all theological etiquette just then. Most preachers are probably coming unglued by now because they said, well, where is the introduction? We're going to do it differently. We're following the Spirit of God this morning. So don't allow your formal education to disrupt what God is going to do, my dear brother, my dear sister. I need you to hear this Word of God on the peace of God, because the peace of God comes to disrupt. There is something about peace, the peace of God, that we've not fully understood, Pastor Keith. I've studied this. I've heard profound teaching on this, and this is not anything that's antithetical to what, uh, they are teaching. This is the other side of the coin.
Amen.
God wants to give revelation about peace. And when I— when, when the Lord showed this to me, I literally jumped out of my skin. We've often reduced peace to a feeling, minister of philia. We've often We've reduced the peace of God to a feeling. We've made peace synonymous, body of Christ, with quietness, with gentleness. No trouble, no conflict. Pastor Treyson, no disturbance, no bad news. Everything going the way we want it to go.
Faith, faith.
But biblical peace is much stronger than that. Peace is divine order refusing to surrender territory to chaos. Let me say that again. Peace is divine order refusing— To surrender territory to chaos. to surrender territory to chaos. Peace is not weakness. Peace is not passivity. Peace is not inactivity. And you've got to record this if you're watching me. Peace is divine order, refusing to surrender territory to chaos.
Peace—
listen to this— peace is ordered power. Just stay with me, I'm going to unpack this. And when we begin to understand peace from the perspective of the kingdom of God— there we go—
Mm-hmm.
We discover that peace is one of God's greatest weapons of disruption against the strategy of darkness. The enemy wants disruption. The enemy wants confusion. God establishes clarity. The enemy wants fear. God establishes trust. The enemy wants the believer reacting. Negatively in situations. God wants the believer discerning in every situation. The enemy wants circumstances governing the inner man. That's key what I just said. The enemy wants circumstances governing the inner man. God wants his Spirit governing the inner man. This is why peace matters. Peace is not merely about how you feel. There is a purpose connected to your peace. The face of God and the origin of peace can be found in Numbers chapter 6. Listen to this. The Lord bless thee. And keep thee. The Lord make his face shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace.
Amen.
Listen to the progression. God blesses, God keeps, God causes his face to shine, Let me say this again. God blesses, God keeps, God causes his face to shine, God becomes gracious toward his people, God lifts his countenance, and then God gives peace. Amen. Peace appears at the culmination of the divine encounter with God. This tells us that peace is not merely psychological relief. Peace is connected to the presence of Jesus Christ himself.
Amen.
The Lord make his face shine upon thee. That statement itself is profound. The face of God speaks of What? His presence, his attention, his favor, his relational nearness, and his self-disclosure. Now I know I went deep then, just stay with me. I'm gonna unlock every single bit of this. Amen. The Bible says in Psalms 27:8, when thou saidst, seek ye my face, my heart said unto thee, thy face, Lord, will I seek. Psalms 27:8. David does not say, your hand will I seek.
Amen.
He says, thy face will I seek. Amen. Now, there's a difference between seeking the hand of God and seeking the face of God. Amen. The hand speaks of what God does. The face speaks of God, who He is to humanity. There is a maturity in God where the believer moves beyond merely asking God for things. What will You give me, Lord? What will You fix? What door will You open? What problem will You solve? and the cry of the believer, the child of God. Lord, show me your face. I want to know you better. God, I want your presence in my life. Lord, I want you in my heart. I want your thoughts to be my thoughts. I want your ways to be my ways, oh God. Psalms 80 repeatedly cries, Cause thy face to shine and we shall be saved. When God's face shines, illumination comes.
Yes.
When God's face shines, darkness loses its ability to define what the believer sees. Don't miss that. When God's face shines, darkness loses its ability to define what the believer can see. Psalms 4 says, Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. Then David says this, thou hast put gladness in my heart, and then I will both lay me down in peace and sleep.
Amen.
Look at the progression. God's countenance, What happens when you have God's countenance? You have illumination, inward gladness, peace, and rest. Peace is therefore not merely the removal of trouble. That's right. Peace is one of the consequences of living beneath the countenance of God.
Amen.
And this helps us understand why peace becomes so important to the inner man. Here we go. Peace is the presence of divine order. Peace is the presence of divine order. Biblical peace is more than tranquility. Biblical peace is more than tranquility. The word shalom speaks of wholeness. And when you look at this Hebrew expression, this Hebrew word, the word shalom speaks of wholeness. But not only does it speak of wholeness, it speaks of completeness, soundness, harmony, things brought into proper order. So peace is not merely the absence of disturbance. Peace is the presence of divine order. Make sure you highlight that.
Yes.
Now, this is where the enemy gets nervous. Right now, the devil is having a cardiac arrest right now because he understands that peace is the presence of divine order, because this changes everything for the believer.
Amen.
Because wherever God governs, God begins to establish order. Isaiah 9 calls Jesus the what? The Prince of Peace. Then immediately speaks of the increase. Listen at what he says after he calls him the Prince of Peace. Immediately after Isaiah says this, He says, the increase of His government and peace. Government and peace are connected. Where His government increases, guess what happens? His peace increases. Where His Kingdom is established, divine order begins to emerge.
Amen.
This is why Romans Chapter 14, verse 17 says, for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. My God. Ah boy, I tell you, this is good. Peace is not connected— excuse me, peace— excuse me, Peace is connected to the kingdom.
Amen.
What does kingdom mean? Kingdom means rule. It means reign. It means government, God's governing authority. Therefore, peace is not merely an emotional benefit of Christianity. Peace is evidence that another government is operating within the believer. Amen. Peace means that there's evidence that God's government is operating inside of you, that God's government has divine authority over your life as a believer, as a son of God, as a daughter of God. God's government has authority not only over you but over chaos.
Yes.
So, irregardless of whatever is taking place in the world, God's authority still reigns and it still rules today, even here in the United States of America.
Amen.
God's authority is all-powerful. Contrary to what other people may say, God has authority in the United States of America. This is why the world, those that are anti-Christians, those that are saying that they dislike what God is doing, ah, God's government is still all-powerful.
Amen.
This is why we should pray for this country. We should pray for our leaders because God's government is being established In the United States of America. I'm telling you that there is a revival of the gospel of Jesus Christ coming to the United States of America.
Amen.
Because peace is evidence that another government is operating within the believer. The question becomes, who is governing the internal world that's on the inside of you? Because guess what? Fear wants authority. Fear wants government. That's right. Ah, offense wants government. Bitterness wants government. Anxiety wants government. Trauma wants government. Circumstances want government. Human opinions want government. But God says, Let the peace of God rule in your hearts. Give God a hand clap of praise. Because the peace of God becomes governmental. Peace protects the territory where God intends to rule, uh, because there's a treasure that has to be covered. The treasure-bearing vessel. This is why the enemy fights you.
Amen.
Now, 2 Corinthians chapter 4 becomes important. Paul says, for God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness hath shined— where? In our hearts. Where does the government of God rule? In our hearts. Then, but we have this treasure in earthen vessels, That the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. So this is why God says to guard your heart with all diligence.
Why?
Because inside of you is treasure that the enemy wants to disrupt. He wants to cause chaos. He wants to bring anxiety. He wants to bring fear.
Faith.
But the peace of God has established that chaos has no authority.
Amen.
Then, but we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. Look at the imagery of what the scripture says. Look at the imagery. God commanded light to shine in Genesis chapter 1. Then Paul uses creation language To describe what God does inside of the believer. God shines in the heart. Where does the enemy want to cause disruption? Where does he want to cause chaos? Where does he want to cause confusion? In the heart. Paul says God shines in the heart. Divine treasures enters an earthen vessel. Divine treasures. The Bible just said this. We have, we have this, these treasures in what? Earthen vessels.
Earthen vessels.
The divine treasures enter— enters an earthen vessel. The vessel looks ordinary. You look ordinary. That's what he wants you to believe. He wants you to believe that you're ordinary. The vessel looks ordinary, but what the vessel carries is extraordinary.
Right.
It is not normal. What the vessel carries is divine order, divinity on the inside. Jesus himself was theanthropic. That means that he was all human and all divine. Jesus himself— the Bible says that we are created in the express image of Jesus the Savior.
Amen.
This is why the enemy wants to attack, ah, what's on the inside of you. So now you see that peace is more than tranquility. Peace is a weapon of divine disruption. The treasure is not produced by the vessel. The power is generated independently by the vessel.
Amen.
Paul makes that clear, Pastor Keith, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. God is the source. God initiates. God speaks. God deposits. God supplies the power. But the vessel receives everything that God deposits. The vessel carries. The vessel stewards. The vessel obeys. The vessel expresses what God has deposited. Speak. Speak. Therefore, the enemy has an interest in the condition of the vessel.
Yes.
Here it is. Here's the revelation, man of God. If the treasure cannot be destroyed, Let me say that again. If the treasure cannot be destroyed, attack the vessel carrying the treasure. Ah, if the calling cannot be canceled, attack the confidence of the one that's called by God. If God's word cannot be defied, defeated, attack the soil receiving the Word. Now you see why you should pray for our government.
Yes.
Ah, because this government recognizes Jesus as Savior and Lord. If you cannot attack the name, then attack the country. Ah, but God is God of the United States of America. He is Lord Ah, if the calling cannot be canceled, attack the confidence of the called. If God's word cannot be defeated, attack the soil receiving the word. If the spirit cannot be overcome, if you can't break the spirit, ah, disturb. the human heart through which the Spirit intends to flow and to work through.
That's right.
Now, Philippians 4:7 becomes much larger. The peace of God shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Peace is standing guard over treasure-bearing territory. Listen at this again. The peace of God shall keep your hearts. In essence, what it says— this is a different translation, but the King James Version, it says that it will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. Peace is standing guard over treasure-bearing territory.
Yes.
Peace guards the treasure-bearing territory Because Philippians 4 is not merely telling us that God will make us feel better.
Right.
Listen at Philippians 4. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. The word translated keep carries the picture of guarding, watching, protecting, standing sentry. Peace is not sleeping.
Right.
Peace is guarding your hearts and minds. Peace stands at the gates of the inner man.
Why?
Because there is something inside of you worth protecting. There is word inside. There is faith inside. There's revelation inside.
There are gifts inside.
There is a calling inside. There is purpose, divine purpose inside. There are divine deposits inside of each and every one of you.
Amen.
This is why peace is a weapon of divine disruption. This is why the enemy wants to make a deposit to cancel the purpose that's on your life. He'll use anything, anybody, any Yes, yes. Ah, there is divine deposits on the inside of you. There is communion with God on the inside of you. There are decisions forming that God has given on the inside of you. There are burdens from God developing inside. Now, many of you are wondering, saying, man, it seems like our Hiroshima has broken out in my life. Oh, what's going on? See, the devil didn't know who Jesus was until he was baptized.
Amen.
And the Bible says, and the heavens opened and God spoke and said, this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased. Now, when you look at that, you notice in Matthew chapter 4, Jesus now after the baptism is ushered up into the wilderness. And notice the word the enemy uses. He tries to cause chaos. He said, if thou be— if you called.
Yes.
Kelvin, he didn't know who we were at first until God says, I need you to do this. Minister Phil, he didn't know at first. Body of Christ, he didn't know. Minister Tracy, he didn't know. But when God opened his mouth, he said, boys, there she is. You know what you have to do? You have to call Yes. Because there's a divine deposit inside. There are decisions forming inside right now. There are burdens from God developing inside of Pastor Keith, so I've got to do something to disrupt the flow of God. There's too much truth coming out of his mouth. Frustrate him. Do whatever you can do. Upset him, but don't you dare let him preach the Word of God anymore. Make him feel disqualified because there is riches in that earthen vessel. Cause chaos. But God says the peace of God, which surpasseth all of his understanding, uh, will guard you. Uh, there are assignments being discerned inside of every single one of you right now. You say, Pastor, what do you mean? I'm saying that you're more than what you think you are. You're not ordinary, you're extraordinary. You are super anointed. God has put his super on his anointing, and now God has made you Superman. God has now made you Superwoman. There are things God has whispered in and that have not yet manifested. There are things God is forming before anybody else can see them, but God is hiding them on the inside of every single one of you.
Yes.
God has to keep it hidden. Ah, this is why he said we have these riches in earthen vessels. God has it covered for the perfect time, because peace is therefore not merely there to keep you comfortable. Peace is guarding treasure-bearing territory, and that is you. You are that treasure-bearing territory. And this is why the enemy attacks the interior world of every believer. The enemy does not always need to destroy your circumstances. You don't want to miss this. The enemy does not always need to destroy your circumstances if he can destabilize you on the inside. If he destabilized the interior world, he got you. Now, I need you to consider Elijah. The fire fell. The prophet of Baal— the prophets of Baal were defeated. The drought ended. Yet shortly afterward, Jezebel sent a threat to Elijah and told him, you better run because by this time tomorrow you will be a dead man. Take it, take it. The enemy could not undo what happened at Mount Carmel. The enemy could not undo the rain. But Elijah's interior condition became destabilized after he received the threat. That's instructive. And she knew what she was doing. She just spoke words. You can have external victory and internal exhaustion simultaneously.
That's right.
Elijah did. You can win publicly and still be depleted privately. You can experience a great move of God and still require restoration in your inner man. This is why spiritual warfare cannot be understood only as what happens around us. There is also warfare concerning what is permitted to govern within us. Paul says, I battle. He said, the things I want to do I do not do, and the things that I do I shouldn't do. Paul talks about this chaos, this wrestling. This is why the peace of God is a weapon of disruption to the kingdom of darkness. Paul says, neither give place— listen at what he says— neither give place to the devil. Ephesians chapter 4:27, neither give place to the devil. Place translates to the word topos. It is a Greek word, topos. And the word, uh, topos means don't give ground, don't give place, don't give opportunity, don't give the enemy territory that he seeks. And one of the most strategic territories is the person. He wants the inside because he wants to establish his government.
Right.
The enemy's objective is not always destruction. Sometimes it is disruption, because disruption of the inner world can interfere— listen to me— disruption of the inner world can interfere with discernment. And if I can screw with your discernment in your communication with God, the enemy knows at that moment that he has you. Because disturbed people make different decisions. They make decisions based off of how they feel and what they see and what they go through. Fearful people hear differently.
Right.
Offended people interpret Anxious people anticipate differently. Angry people speak differently. Exhausted people fight differently. Confused people sometimes move prematurely. Amen. Fear can make you abandon what faith was building in your life.
So true.
Offense can make you misinterpret the people God sent to help you and give direction and purpose for your vision. But you're operating in offense because the enemy is speaking and causing chaos in your mind instead of you just sitting and saying, I know that God has purpose. I may not understand it at this moment, but I know God has purpose.
purpose. Amen.
Pressure can make you question what God clearly said to you in the peace of God. The enemy does not merely want you upset, he wants your attention fractured. He wants your perception distorted. He wants you making decisions from the place of fear and doubt. He wants you speaking prematurely. He wants you abandoning what God told you. He wants you interpreting delay as denial. He wants you confusing pressure with God's absence. He wants you reacting instead of discerning. That is why the Scripture says, keep thy heart with all diligence.
That's right.
I've gotta deal with the ecosystem of the inner man. The inner man is an entire spiritual ecosystem. ecosystem. Scripture speaks about this: the heart, the mind, the spirit, the conscience, the will, thoughts, the affections, the faith, the Word, the Holy Spirit. These realities interact.
Yes.
Fear affects thought. Thought affects expectation. Expectation affects speech. Speech affects behavior. Behavior affects relationships and decisions. So Proverbs says this, keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are what? The issues of life.
Yes.
The Hebrew idea behind issues carries a sense of outgoings or sources. The heart is therefore not presented merely as a container. It is a fountainhead.
Amen.
What gets established internally eventually seeks expression externally. Did you guys hear that? What gets established internally seeks expression externally. Jesus says, out of the, what? Abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. That's right. Something gets deposited. Something gets— something fills the heart. Something comes out of the mouth. Luke chapter 6, verse 45 says, a good man out of the good treasures of his heart bringeth forth that which is, what? Good. It says, a good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good. So if he's a bad man, out of the bad treasures of his heart, guess what he'll bring forth? Bad things. Notice the language, treasure, heart.
Yes.
Listen at it. Notice the language, treasure, heart, bringeth forth. Something resides within. Then something comes forth. This explains why peace is strategic.
Yes.
Peace protects the environment from which obedience, discernment, speech, decisions, relationships, ministry, and spiritual response emerges. The inner man as the womb of God. The inner man as the womb of God. And guess what the womb does? It brings forth, or it births forth, God's purpose.
Yes.
Now we enter a different dimension, body of Christ. And I need to be careful with the language that I use because I— it is never my intention to confuse anyone. The language of the inner man as a womb is theological imagery. This is what I'm using it for. It, it may not necessarily be in the Bible contextually. I'm using it as theological imagery to portray a point to every single one of you. But Scripture gives us powerful birth and formation language. Paul says in Galatians 4:19, my little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ— what?— be formed in you. Something is being formed inside of every single one of us. Something is developing. Then there is travail connected with this manifestation. The surrendered inner person becomes a place of spiritual formation where God's word, his purposes, his burdens, his wisdom and direction are received, discerned, matured through prayer and obedience, ultimately expressed in the earth. So God's will— you can now see and understand by revelation of the Spirit of God, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, because God is birthing Hallelujah. God is creating. He's creative. God conceives the purpose. God supplies the power, but the believer participates through reception, prayer, discernment, obedience, speech, action, and spiritual gifts. The human spirit yielded to God becomes an environment where the will of God can be received and carried on planet Earth.
Amen.
Think about the function of a womb. A womb does not determine what the child will be.
Right.
A womb does what? It receives.
Yes.
It protects. nourishes, it carries, it provides an environment for development.
Amen.
Then after it comes to fruition and its full term, then it releases what has been formed at the designated time. Now think with me spiritually. God deposits his word, the believer receives it, Amen. Now, it's interesting because the Scripture says that— it compares Word to seed. Yes. God deposits His seed. The believer receives it. The Holy Spirit illuminates it. Prayer surrounds it. Faith embraces it. Wisdom tests and discerns it. Obedience nourishes it. Patience carries it. Then at the proper time, obedience gives expression to it. This is why every divine burden should not immediately become a public announcement. Some things God speaks need gestation. Some things God speaks needs gestation. It needs a time, a period to grow, to mature. Sometimes God will say things to you not to be shared. Sometimes you'll talk to your friend, a woman of God, a man of God. It don't need to be spoken to everybody. It's not everybody's business because of the anointing that's on this person's life has to be guarded.
Amen.
Ah, some things don't need to be carried and told to other people. It needs a period of gestation because God is working on that individual.
Amen.
It has to have this period of gestation. Patience carries it. Then at the proper time, obedience gives it expression. They need prayer. That purpose on the inside needs Scripture.
Amen.
That purpose on the inside needs discernment. That purpose on the inside needs timing. That purpose on the inside needs maturity. That purpose on the inside needs counsel. That purpose on the inside needs obedience. Some things die because we expose prematurely what God intends for us to carry privately. They die. Because you expose it too soon.
Amen.
And God intended for you to carry that thing privately. Some words are not ready for platforms. Listen to me, pastors. Listen to me, preachers, leaders. Some words are not ready for platforms, and you cause people— you hurt people because you speak words out of season. Some revelations are not ready for microphones because they create confusion, and then they cause babies in Christ to grow deformed.
Right.
Some assignments are still embryos. I've learned this. Some assignments that some people have on their life are still embryos. Preachers, don't go before the season God releases you.
Amen.
Women of God, men of God, hear that. God is forming something on the inside of every single one of us. You must guard and protect the spiritual womb. Isaiah chapter 66, verse 9 says, shall I bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth, said the Lord? And now, we have to look at the pattern of Mary. Mary gives us an extraordinary pattern. And as I hasten to a close, we must never confuse Christ's unique incarnation with ordinary Christian experience.
Amen.
The incarnation is unique, but the posture of yielded obedience is deeply instructive. The angel announces God's intention. Mary asks, how shall this be? The answer comes, the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, Mary.
Yes.
Now, watch the movement. Watch the movement. Watch the movement. God speaks. The human receives. The Spirit overshadows. Faith agrees. Surrender occurs. God's purpose enters history. Be it unto thee, be it unto me according to thy word. That is the posture through which divine purpose finds earthly obedience. Not be it unto me according to my preference. Yes. Not according to my comfort. Not according to my schedule. not according to what people think, but according to Thy Word. Heaven speaks, earth agrees, and the will of God moves toward manifestation.
Amen.
The inner man is a meeting place of heaven on earth. Jesus teaches us to pray, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Now you see that you are. Your inward man is the womb of God. This is why God can be both on earth and in heaven at the same time.
Amen.
There is heavenly intention, there is earthly manifestation, and standing between the two is a praying, surrendered human being. Your spirit is the womb, but God calls your mouth to pray for his purpose on the inside of you. It's not your purpose. Thy will be done on earth, not my will. Amen. Jesus does not teach, my kingdom come. He says, thy kingdom come. He does not teach, my imagination be manifested. He says, thy will be done. This is divine human participation. We get to participate in the purpose of God, and God in turn blesses us for this participation. God remains the source. God remains sovereign. God determines His will. But throughout Scripture, God repeatedly accomplishes His purpose through yielded human beings.
Amen.
He didn't say they were perfect. He said yielded.
Amen.
The Spirit of God will take you through the perfecting process. Who are you to try to condemn what God has declared to be righteous? God has a purpose. Noah built an ark. God had a purpose. Moses went forth and delivered the children of Israel. God had a purpose. Samuel listened. God had a purpose. David obeyed. God had a purpose. Isaiah said, here I am, send me.
Amen.
Mary said, be it unto me according to thy word. God had a purpose. The apostle said, we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. Heavenly purpose continually seeks earthly obedience. Simple. I know I may have sounded loud. Please forgive me. I'm a little bit excited. It's simple. It's mainly a partnership. God governs from heaven. The believer surrenders on earth. The Spirit communicates. The Spirit communicates. The believer discerns. The believer obeys. And something God intended in heaven becomes visible on earth. I'm done.
Revelation. Come on.
The enemy fights the inward man. God uses peace as a weapon, simply as a weapon. You are much more powerful than you believe, than you even know. Do you understand that you're carrying heavenly divinity on the inside of you? You are God's womb. You are God's intercessor. You are carrying— Mary carried divine purpose on the inside of her. She carried God.
Yes.
Don't you understand that you're carrying God? That you're impregnated with God on the inside of you? You are a carrier of God's Word, man of God. Ah, don't let this Don't let your flesh cause you to fall when God says you're victorious. Don't be tripped up by the lies. Father, we thank you for your word. Thank you for Jesus and the purpose of God. Give God a hand clap of praise. Let me say this. If you're here this morning and you don't know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, this is your moment. Now you know what your purpose is. Do you understand that you are much more than what God has called you to? That you're carrying something far greater than you yourself. And if you don't know Jesus this morning, do me a favor. You need to know him as your personal Lord and Savior. He wants to come into your heart. He wants to come inside of you and live and dwell and birth the purpose of God. God wants to remove the chaos. He wants to remove the confusion. And if you don't know him, pray this simple prayer with me. Say, Father, come into my heart. I believe that Jesus died for me. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that you can forgive me of all of my wrongs. All of my sins. Jesus, come into my heart. Jesus, save me this morning. I believe that you died and rose on the 3rd day, and you're now seated in heavenly places on the right-hand side of the Father. Jesus, save me. I thank you for your divine purpose in my life. Father, thank you for forgiving my sins as far as the east is from the west. Thank you for forgiving me, Jesus. And if you prayed that prayer, guess what? You are now born again.

I came to reclaim what the darkness stole, every piece of my mind, every part of my soul. Not by my power, not by my might, by the blood of the Lamb I step into light. The fire did not break me, God carried Every lie fell silent when he spoke what was true. He restored my peace and commanded the sea. All glory to Jesus, the one who set me free. There is power in his name, there is freedom in his name.
