Resetting The Economy
00:02:25

|
| Do you believe that we can shift the culture of economics right now? | |
| Yes, I do, because I think I put it in the book on resetting the economy. | |
| Yes. | |
| But see, it's one thing, it's one thing to have to live in the economy of the kingdom on a personal level. | |
| And we all need to learn how to do that. | |
| God has actually shown me some very significant principles for us as individuals and as families to know how to get into the economy of the kingdom. | |
| For instance, in the book of Philippians, the Apostle Paul said, and my God shall supply all of your need according to his riches and glory. | |
| He did not say, my God's going to supply your need according to the economy of Philippi. | |
| He said, my God will supply your need according to the riches that are in glory, according to the kingdom realities. | |
| And see, this is, and by the way, this is what happened with the widow of Zarephath whenever the prophet came to her. | |
| She lived in the economy of the kingdom while everybody else was perishing. | |
| This is what happened with Isaac when he sowed in the years of famine and received a hundredfold increase. | |
| And then on and on and on. | |
| There's many principles in the scripture where we see this. | |
| But having said that, God also calls us to reset the economy of cultures. | |
| See, when his children went into Babylonian captivity in Jeremiah 29, 7, Jeremiah tells them, he says, seek the peace of the city. | |
| And that's the word shalom. | |
| And it involves prosperity. | |
| It's not just prosperity, but it involves prosperity. | |
| He said, seek the peace of the city, for in its peace you will have peace. | |
| And it's amazing. | |
| God is telling a bunch of foreigners in a foreign land, you have the power to determine the economy of this culture. | |
| And that if you will do the right things, I will bless this culture for your sake. | |
| And the entire culture will be blessed. | |
| And you will get the benefit of it because I give you the right and the authority to stand before me, I believe, in the courts of heaven and see that done. | |

Building a House of Prayer

|
|
| Yes. | |
| Pastor Robert, you know, it's so powerful. | |
| You bring so many key points to the economy and everything that shifts in the culture today. | |
| But you talk about very strongly about building a house of prayer. | |
| Can you speak on that? | |
| How do we build a culture in the house of prayer that can change and shift those type of spirits in the courts of heaven? | |
| That is such a critical piece, Mondo. | |
| In Isaiah 56, 7, here's what he says. | |
| He said, even them I will bring to my holy mountain. | |
| And the holy mountain is not a geographical place. | |
| It's a governmental place in the spirit. | |
| And when you look at the word them, if you go through Isaiah 56, here's who them are. | |
| It's the rejected ones. | |
| It's the strangers. | |
| It's the foreigners. | |
| It's the eunuchs. | |
| It's those who feel completely inadequate. | |
| I'm saying, God, that's me. | |
| And so he said, I'm going to bring them. | |
| I'm going to bring what would seemingly be the weakest of the weak. | |
| And I'm going to endow them with such a power, they're going to stand in the governmental place of the spirit. | |
| And here's what he said. | |
| He said, I will make them joyful in my house of prayer. | |
| And then he says this. | |
| He said, and their offerings, their burnt offerings, and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar for my, it says, for my house of my house shall be a house of prayer for all nations. | |
| So what God's saying there, it takes a house of prayer to be able to stand before him to represent a culture. | |
| For instance, this is why Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed. | |
| God was looking for 10 righteous or a house of prayer that could represent that culture. | |
| And God said, if there's just 10 that could represent the culture, they'll give me the legal right to spare it. | |
| And so God is looking for a house of prayer. | |
| And this is what I was telling Lori yesterday. | |
| This is what I believe. | |
| I believe that those that are partners with you guys, they can bind together in the spirit and they can become a house of prayer. | |
| We don't realize the power of our offerings. | |
| See, he says this house of prayer, it doesn't just pray, it brings an offering. | |
| He says their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar. | |
| Because here's what happened. | |
| When we bring an offering as a house of prayer, it literally releases a testimony before the Lord that does not just speak for us, but it speaks in behalf of the culture we're representing. | |
| See, this is what Noah did when he came out of the ark. | |
| He built an altar. | |
| He offered up a sacrifice. | |
| When God smelt the aroma in Genesis 8, when God smelt the aroma, the scripture says he made a judicial decree, no more curse. | |
| And then he said this, watch this. | |
| He said this, seed time and harvest. | |
| So he released the earth from a curse and reset the economy based on the offering of Noah. | |
| Because why? | |
| Noah was now a governmental man. | |
| He was in charge of the earth. | |
| He did not just bring this offering in behalf of himself and his family. | |
| He actually brought this offering in behalf of the whole earth that he was now in charge of. | |
| And God says to us as a house of prayer, I give you governmental authority. | |
| I want you to pray prayers. | |
| I want you to stand in the gap. | |
