Your Release is in Your Hand Apostle Rick Wednesday 11/18/2020

These are the scripture references from this message. The times indicate approximately where to find the scriptures within the Facebook video.

[time 21:20] Apostle said: Get the scriptures from the toolbox & highlight them in your Bible & get them in your spirit so you’ll have what it takes to defeat the enemy when he tries to come in like a flood.

Isaiah 59:19 (KJV) 19So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

Exodus 4:1-5 (One New Man Bible) [time 21:43] 1. And Moses answered and said, “But look, they will not believe me or heed my voice, for they will say, “The LORD* has not appeared to you.” 2. And the LORD* said to him, “What is in your hand?” And he said, “A staff.” 3. And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” And he cast it on the ground and it became a snake and Moses fled from before it. 4. And the LORD* said to Moses, “Put forth your hand and take it by the tail.” 5. “So that they may believe that the LORD* God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Jacob has appeared to you.”

Apostle said: [time 23:01] He wants to talk about, “what is in your hand” and “cast it on the ground”. He spoke of a study he read about in an article. In the article there was a statement that said, “make sure your instructions are heart focused. The study was about how to instruct children. [time 23:35] The writer of the article said it’s not just about getting kids to do what you want but it’s about training their heart.

Apostle said: What does that look like? [time 24:00] When we go into the Word of God about the heart; It describes it to be our mind, our soul, our emotions, our will, our character and our passions. [time 24:50] The heart is a metaphor for the inner life. [time 25:00] When Jesus spoke about the heart, He used the word meaning the seat of physical, spiritual & mental life. The heart; to the Hebrew mind, is the center & source of the whole inner life: thinking, feeling & willing.

1 Samuel 16:7 (KJV) [time 25:40] 7But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

Apostle said: Heart= speaks of the entire disposition of the inner person. So, we see that when the Lord looks at the heart of a person, He’s looking at the entire disposition of the person. He’s looking at the seat of emotions, the nucleus. [time 26:15] The way we talk & operate reflects the inner attitudes of our heart.

Mark 12:33 (KJV) [time 26:45] 33And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

Apostle said: [time 27:35] The bottom line to living for God always involves the very center of our emotions. It will pinpoint our passions. It will pinpoint our emotional strong feelings. It will pinpoint affections. It will pinpoint our devotions. It will pinpoint our intensity. It will pinpoint what excites us. [time 28:20] Once something becomes a passion, the motivation is there. [time 28:48] Last Wednesday God moved on him to talk about the importance of following an instruction dealt with divine instruction: a divine directive is the foundational key to everything else in the time of release…. that the whole season of release hangs on this one main divine directive. Directive=an official or authoritative instruction. It is the guidance of how things move forward. Also has to do with governmental order. This is why the instruction becomes official. It is the guidance of how things move forward. How you obey the instruction determines how things move forward. [time 30:30] When you study the Word, you have to learn how to pick up on certain words that open up a whole plethora of revelation. It’s the same way when he’s teaching, you have to learn how to pick up on certain statements or a word wrapped up in a sentence. When you learn how to do that then it will have a more profound impact on your inner being. [time 31:30] How we follow instructions determines how things move forward. He spoke about the scriptures he gave on instructions & said that instruction is well established in the Word of God.

2 Corinthians 13:1 (KJV) [time 32:25] 1This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

Apostle said: That word established = to stand against any opposition. To be confirmed, to continue. It doesn’t change or lessen. [time 33:15] Jesus told the blind man to wash in the pool of Siloam. The instruction was Siloam so the man’s miracle could only come from the place of the pool of Siloam.

John 9:7 (KJV) 7And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

Apostle said: [time 34:35] He wrote years ago & he read it last Sunday but wanted to read it again: Sometimes what God tells you to do will appear illogical & even ridiculous. It may even deprive you of an immediate gratification. It may wound your pride. There will be times when what God told you to do will seem totally unrelated to the miracle you are pursuing. But it will have everything to do with the miracle. Apostle added that the miracle comes to the obedient, not the logical….and that God will not advance you beyond your last act of disobedience. [time 36:00] When Jesus put the mud on the blind man’s eyes, he didn’t get offended. He never questioned the method. That’s where people miss out on the miracle…they get bogged down on the method to the miracle. [time 37:25] The blind man did exactly what he was told to do. He didn’t try to compromise the instruction. He was around the pool of Siloam many times before that…. he never thought that the very thing he was familiar with would become is miracle. That it would be THE place that would change his life, that it would change his future.

Apostle said: [time 38:32] @ 2:03PM this afternoon; the Lord told me to tell you: The very thing you’re familiar with, the very thing you’re around with is the key to your miracle. Many of you know what that is because God has already talked to you about it…. & I know that for a fact because God has told me that he has dealt you about it. He’s dealing with you even now & it’s the key to changing your life. It is the key to your release. God said in Revelations:

Revelation 3:15-16 (KJV) 15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Deuteronomy 4:2 (KJV) 2Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

John 10:30 (KJV) 35If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

Apostle said: [time 39:50] Peter short changed his miracle, he compromised. Remember: established= it doesn’t change or lessen. Compromise= it becomes the goal to get at least as much or more then what we give up. And at the right moment compromise will surface. [time 43:00] We make concessions or accommodations when we don’t agree with a set of standards or instructions. We compromise out of fear because of misplaced faith. Faith to many is fearing the unknown. But true Kingdom faith is knowing: I have a God Who will take care of me. He is my ever-present now & my ever-present future. Remember that our future depends on what we do or do not do in our now. [time 44:50] Follow divine instructions is a matter of the heart…. it’s where the heart is at with God. He looks at your passions, what excites you, at what you do or don’t do. He looks at why you do what you do. He looks at what motivates & inspires you. Remember that the instructions we are given will look like it has nothing to do with what we are praying for but it will have everything to do with what we are praying for. [time 47:25] When God gives us a divine instruction our heart our truly has to be with God, understand the time & season & be flexible.

John 14:15 (KJV) 15If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 5:4 (KJV) 4For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

Daniel 2:20-21 (KJV) 20Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

John 10:4-5, 27 (KJV) 4And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Apostle said: [time 50:45] Stop fighting God & give it over to Him. Trust Him. He is a God that will not fail you & He can not lie. What you read in God’s Word you can take it to the bank.

Numbers 23:19 (KJV) 19God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

1 Samuel 15:29 (KJV) 29And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.

Hebrews 6:18 (KJV) 18That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Psalm 89:35 (KJV) 35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

Joshua 21:45 (KJV) 45There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

Joshua 1:8-9(KJV) 8This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

1 Chronicles 28:20 (KJV) 20And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

Psalm 89:28 (KJV) 28My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

Isaiah 51:6 (KJV) 6Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) 11So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Lamentations 3:22-24 (KJV) 22It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

Apostle said: Back to John 5:4; in the certain season the angel troubled the waters & whoever was first into the waters was healed. Whoever was first…so he had to be ready & he had to know what it meant & he had to know the demonstration. It was a certain type of move. Then Jesus comes along & He doesn’t even touch the waters but He changes the season. The lame man was used to the troubling of the waters. Then Jesus asked: do you want to be healed. Jesus was saying that there had to be confession. You’ve got to open your mouth because you’re going to participate in this miracle. Jesus changed the way it was done.

Apostle said: [time 55:20] I’ve said all that to say that you’ve got to be sensitive in this season. It’s how you follow the instructions given in this season of release. [time 1:01:25] In this season of release. You cannot, you must not allow it to become common. You must not allow it to become old hat. You must not allow it to fall on deaf ears because you hear us say it a lot. It is a time to have your heart, have your spirit sitting on the edge of your seat & waiting on that special moment to be released…. That you reach up & say “That’s mine!” & you reach up & get ahold of it. God gave me this revelation today: When God led Israel out of Egypt it had a do with a lot more then what Moses said. It had everything to do with what Moses held in his hand. God told him to throw it down. God told him to let it go. And when he did, he became an eyewitness to the supernatural power of God. Moses held onto a miracle & he didn’t even know it until he let go of it. Your miracles, your release is what you hold in your hand. It’s what you hold in your pocket. But you won’t see the miracle until you let go of it.

John 15:22 (NIV) 22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

Romans 8:7 (KJV) 7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Apostle said: [time 1:05:30] We have two voices; the carnal voice & God’s voice. We cannot please both. In closing; I’m wondering, which voice are you ignoring?
