Beloved identity is the hinge on which the kingdom of God swings into the culture. We are going to disciple nations and restore ruined cities when people dare to believe they are loved and delighted in by the Father.

Hephzibah becomes an agent of maturity that will bring us into a place of union, connection and glory. Maturity is a willingness to be moved by the impulses of the Spirit.

The answer to what we are dealing with as a nation is the love of God shed abroad in our hearts by Holy Sprit and also the revelation of the long path. Hephzibah is our new name and Yahweh is wanting to make a covenant with our land.

Hold confidently to the courageous hope of who Yahweh designed us to be. Rest gives you permission to inherit the land and rest is the graduate level of beloved identity. We are called to carry presence and leverage hope.

Inherit a measure of rest in this season so that you come out on the other side saying that His presence is enough for you. The delight of the Lord is so extreme that you will have to be seated and wait upon the Lord to encounter it the way you were designed for.

Hezekiah. Can I burn hotter at the age of 45 than I did at the age of 25? As leaders we must inherit a trans-generational consciousness and come out of ambition and self-promotion to live a true Kingdom lifestyle.

Our dear friend Bryn Waddell joins us to discuss what we believe the Spirit is saying during this time of quarantine and social distancing.

Entire regions are impacted by those willing to come out of a place of restlessness. Surrender you anxiety, stop your striving and come into a place of interior stillness. We are crossing over to the other side.

Interior rest and trust is leveraging change concerning the storm. Speak from a place of rest and authority and leverage peace concerning what is happening in the world today. The Father is causing the ark of His covenant to come into homes for a 90 day period. The next great manifestation of revival is not going to require a church building. We are going to have home fellowship revivals.

We are being prepared for global revival. When darkness and gloom covers the earth the light in you cannot be ignored. This is a time to sit alone and give the King your captivated heart. Joseph came out of a season of lockdown with greater authority than ever before.

Luke 19. What you do with the weight of the glory you have been given determines if you can be given authority over cities. Do not try to hide and guard what He wants you to grow.

The favor available within the revelation of beloved identity requires another degree of sacrifice (and there is grace for that sacrifice). Abba wants a people that will open themselves up and let His light shine through them.

If you have an open heart there is no secret of the Kingdom that can be hidden from you. If you can dare to believe The Father is sovereignly watching over your progress it is going to change your pace.

Become a witness that "Hephzibah " is your new name. The greatest gift we can give a fractured culture is a whole person. Mature in Hephzibah and become "Sought Out."

Delighting yourself in the Lord comes as a consequence of realizing that He delights Himself in you. His fascination with me gives me grace to be fascinated in Him. Desire is awakened in us when we begin to see ourselves as desirable. We are being re-oriented by way of being re-identified.

Isaiah 62. Your new name is "Hephzibah" which means "The Lord takes delight in you." The Father delights in showing mercy and His kisses will re-identify you.

Genesis 12. Canaan was a land waiting on a covenant man convinced of his authenticity to come in and see transformation.

We were designed to sparkle and flow together and let our unity be a witness that Jesus is who He said He is. People don't flow together because they refuse to honor one another's sparkle.

Isaiah 60. My light is connected to His glory. Me being dim actually robs Him from glory. You leverage what is available in this new day by using your new name. The Father loves me with the same passionate love that He loved Jesus.

What you do with the presence of Jesus determines your access to transformative glory. It's a new day and you must be willing to change your name. Jacob found a new land and he received a new name.

John 5. Revival's essence is a manifestation of the person of Jesus. Are you convinced that you have already been made whole? Are you ready to abandon how you see yourself and become who you already are?

Honoring what the Lord is doing in another will actually expedite your own entrance into favor. If you will gaze at His goodness, you will begin to see yourself as loved. Breakthrough is supposed to come by way of fire not formula.

John 15. Abba is giving us a new standard of beloved identity. In order to re-engage the realm of Zion we must be convinced of our beloved identity.

Proverbs 13:12. When He becomes your focal point, He changes your desires. Allowing Him to deal with your disappointment makes you whole and causes you to begin to desire the way He designed you to desire.

Revival is granting us re-entrance into an authentic and orthodox Christianity. Divorce yourself from inferior things you have focused on and receive the grace to live distraction free.

Your thirst doesn't lead you to a stream, it causes you to become one. Be thirsty enough that you actually become a river in the desert.

We never see the power of faith because of beloved identity issues. If you come into beloved identity you can move a mountain with a mustard seed of faith. Faith is a witness you have been established in beloved identity.

The purpose of revival and also the purpose of the apostolic is to send you to the feet of Jesus. In the middle of questioning and confusion open up and surrender like you never have before.

Reconciling Revival and Rest. Being forgiven means you cease to be identified as one who had previously failed.

Disappointment initiated the cage most people are trapped in. In revival God will make you stare at the place inside of you that hurts the most and then will deliver you by way of His kindness. The first phase of an oak of righteousness is that there is no longer a broken heart. Finishing the exchange means that there is no longer even a hairline fracture present in you heart.

Finishing the exchange looks like surrendering the last part of me that fails to see Him as good and that fails to see myself as beloved.

Finish the exchange. What hand have I kept hidden behind my back just in case He isn't kind? What has the Father hidden for you that you cannot access because of what you have hidden from Him?

In His sovereignty, God has decided to reveal Himself to us as kind. The Father in His kindness wants to cause the most callous places in your heart to become the most tender.

Can you experience renewal without first being emptied? Is it possible to renovate a house without making a mess? If He is emptying you it is because He is making room for new wine.

Romans 2:4. Kindness could be the most important evangelistic tool the church has ever been given. His forgiveness is kind and tender hearted. Pleasing a kind God trumps trying to appease a bitter God.

Will you ever fully give yourself to seeking someone you do not fully trust? Living in authentic trust generates diligent seeking. Trust has a significant impact on the way we seek Him.

Matthew 8. His desire is much stronger than my feelings that I am undesirable. He is giving you His perspective instead of a leper consciousness.

Matthew 8. He finds us desirable and He chooses to love us even when we feel like everything in us is falling apart. Come out of agreement with every lie that says, "I know He can but will He?"

What is the purpose of the wilderness? Abba ensures that what you used to be a slave to will never chase you again. There are aspects of His countenance reserved for the man that would dare to be still. Vulnerability may be more valuable to leading others into beloved identity than every other leadership quality and gifting combined.

God wants to overwhelm you by the kindness and goodness of His love. There is an intimacy we are being invited into in the year 2020 that is going to test everything we think we know about beloved identity. He is going to put us in the oil of beloved identity and we are going to experience a renewal that never ends.

Begin to experience a lifestyle of renewal that gives you permission to never have to be resuscitated back to life again.

Learn to live in a state of renewal by continually yielding to submersion in the oil that brings tenderness.

Hebrews 4. I am resting from the futility of my own efforts. Nothing in your life can legally be called "success" if it was not accomplished through rest. Come into a degree of trust that believes He cares for you and then you will come into a place of confident rest.

What if "caring" is as significant a part of Yahweh's nature as His omnipotence is? Few struggle with believing that He "can" do something or has the ability to accomplish something, but many struggle with believing that He actually cares. What if He cares to the same degree that He can?

Finish the Exchange.

The vulnerability of fathers holds the key for future generations to live in liberty and exclusivity. Leaders often try to project an image rather than be a reflection of an image. Projecting an image of success is keeping us from an alignment that can actually transform the darkness of the culture around us.

Five Year Anniversary of Carolina Revival. What I have experienced in the past is of such immense value that I am unwilling to stop with the measure I am currently in possession of.
