Impartation is often talked about, especially in our circles, but I've noticed that we don't very often explore the biblical and scriptural details concerning this very important spiritual dynamic. Impartation is important if you want to fulfill the assignment that God has specifically given to you. Impartation is an important aspect of your spiritual growth and the ministry that God has given you to carry out in this world. This is how I defined impartation after looking at the Scripture. Impartation is the spiritual transfer that takes place between believers. Knowledge can be imparted. Power can be imparted. Spiritual mantles, that's assignment and authority, we'll get into that in a moment, that can be imparted as well. And because we know that the Scripture holds the foundational truths that shape the way we think about the spirit realm, we're going to look to the Scripture tonight to see what the Bible reveals concerning impartation, this idea of spiritual transfer from one life to another that comes only by the Holy Spirit. Impartation may come through a ministry or an individual, but it can only come from the Holy Spirit.  You watching online, you can join us by saying it in the comment section. Whether you're watching live or on the replay, write those simple words, use me, Lord, let it be a public prayer of surrender. Now, there is a difference between the anointing and a mantle. And sometimes we don't recognize this difference. There's no chapter and verse we can point to that specifically tells us what one is and what the other is. But as we look through the Scripture, we see biblical principles that help to guide our view on this particular topic. So, the anointing, as revealed in Scripture, is the power of the Holy Spirit simply put. Now, there is a misconception, even about the anointing, where some believers imagine that they have to collect anointings like they do various other things that they collect, like they collect colors or like they collect different things that they may keep in their home.  And then, well, I want the anointing to prosper. So, I'm going to go to that ministry. I want the anointing for visions and dreams. So, I'm going to go over to that individual over there. That's not how it works. There's only one anointing and it is the power of God. And that one anointing empowers all of those different aspects of ministry. So, the anointing simply put is the power of God. The mantle is the authority and the assignment. I'll give you an example. Let's take Billy Graham. There is a life that impacted the nations, literally, literally impacted the nations. When he did certain things in ministry, it actually changed and shaped governments and nations. Think about that impact. That's true national impact and international impact. Global impact isn't when I have a bunch of different countries on my itinerary. Global impact is when what God does in my life actually affects change within the nations of the world. So, take Billy Graham. Here we see an evangelist. Now, he preached just like Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. And when he preached, that gospel message carried weight because of the anointing and people responded in mass to receiving Christ as their Savior.  I mean, let's not kid ourselves. There's a major difference between the two impacts. That's not me just trying to pretend to be humble. That's me being very realistic. The impact of Billy Graham's life is just so far reaching, it's like once in several generations that God does something like that with an individual. So, you look at the gifts, they're similar. We're both evangelists. We both preach by the power of the Holy Spirit. People get saved. But the assignment and the authority that God gave to him was a different mental. Take the prophetic ministry. I could name just off the top of my head dozens and dozens of anointed prophetic people who many of you know and who we love and who are tremendously gifted. But you take those prophetic people and this is not a game of comparison. I'm only drawing distinctions between these ministries so you can kind of catch what I'm talking about when I speak of the difference between the anointing and the mantle. Take the life of Kim Clement. Now, I actually had the honor of going and seeing him minister in person one time. And I met him after the service, just a kind individual. I knew a pastor friend of his that were very close and so he took me to meet him. And Steve, you were like this close to going with me. It's Steve tells me it's one of his big regrets. But I went to that service and I've been in many prophetic services. I sat in the I believe it was the second row close enough to where I could feel the speakers, the sound, you know, moving through my body. When that man stepped on the platform, the whole room shifted. And I had been in services. It wasn't it wasn't the music. I've been in services with great music. It wasn't the crystal clear sound. I've been in services with crystal clear sound. It wasn't the excitement of the people. I've been in services where people were very excited, if not more excited than even in that meeting. When that man began to prophesy, you you could sense the connection with heaven that he had in that room shifted the atmosphere. He got on the platform. The moment his fingers touched down on those keys, the whole atmosphere shifted. It was one of the most profound experiences I've ever had in a prophetic ministry. And so you take these other ministries and again, not not comparing like one is greater, one is not. No, no, no, we're talking about different assignments. So there are many different prophets who I know who can prophesy, but I've still yet to sense the weight of the mantle like when I was in that meeting with Kim Clement. And so the anointing is the power every believer functions in a certain gift. Every believer has a way that they're used by God and the Lord anoints them for that they're given power. And because of their specific assignment, that power is used in a different way than possibly another individual. And then the mantle is the assignment. Some have a mantle for nations. Some have a mantle for cities. Some have a mantle for local churches. Others have a mantle for online ministry. I know of men and women of God who it seems that God has given them a mantle for online ministry. It's a different assignment that comes with a different authority. And there are levels of authority within the kingdom of God among ministers. And this, though it's not talked about is the reality. We don't like to think in those terms, do we? We like to say, no, everyone's equal. No, no, no, that's just not the truth. There are men and women who've paved the road before us who carry much weightier authority than we do.  And so when we recognize that there are different weights, different authority, I mean, think about when Elijah transferred the mantle to Elisha, he cries out and he begins to speak of what? The chariots of Israel. He speaks of a nation. That's when he saw that mantle coming to him, he recognized that is an assignment for a nation. So the anointing is the power, the mantle is the assignment and the authority. There are many evangelists, but there are different mantles. Some evangelists are called to one nation, others are called to another. Some pastors to certain regions, others to another. Some ministers these days carry mantles for international global reach, some for national reach, and we have to be okay with that. How far God raises me is none of my business, because I'm the servant, he's the Lord. And whatever he wants to do with my life, that's up to him. Why? Because I surrendered to him long ago. Think about it.  I'm not going to complain about what mantle he gives me. Now, of course, as we're good stewards of what God gives to us, there's growth, there's promotion in the spirit realm. But some examples we see of this in the Scripture is Elijah and Elisha. That's just one example, a list more after I tell you this quick thought. I've noticed there seems to be not, it's not a very popular thought, but I think it's popular enough that I should address it. There's this idea that impartation, as we understand it today, isn't biblical. And the reason people say things like that is because there's no chapter and verse where the entirety of the thought is communicated. The same is true of the Trinity or the Rapture and so forth. But we do see biblical principles all throughout the Scripture, and out of those biblical principles we form the idea that is impartation. Again, impartation simply being, at its basic level, a transfer in the realm of the Spirit. And again, this can be knowledge, this can be power, and this can be a mantle. So we see Elijah and Elisha, Moses and Joshua, that was a transfer of a mantle. In its basic form, by its purest definition, it is one assignment coming on to another. Jesus and the disciples, that mantle that the Lord had to preach the gospel, to heal the sick, to drive out devils, to raise the dead, that mantle, that assignment and authority was transferred to His disciples. And so we see it even with David and Saul. David had that authority as king. He had the assignment to be king after Saul. And that was a transfer in the Spirit realm. Notice here, actually, that David, though he was anointed, though he was marked with that anointing, though he was marked with that power, David didn't step into that assignment until some time later, which shows you that the anointing and the assignment are distinct from one another. We see it with Paul and Timothy. Now, for every historic moment, there are heavenly mantles. For every historic moment, there are heavenly mantles. There are assignments. See, when I speak of mantles, everyone thinks of people like Catherine Coleman or Billy Graham or these people that I can name that have the big men issues, but that they're not the only ones with mantles. And I don't say that as a complaint. I say that to help you understand that there are various different assignments. And when those assignments are handed over generationally or transferred even from one person in the same generation, that is a transfer of a mantle. It's a spiritual assignment. Heaven is depositing mantles on the earth, and God is looking for people to catch them. Heaven is dropping mantles, assignments, things to do, authority that comes with that assignment to accomplish it. And while we're busy sometimes with the distractions of this world, we get so caught up in our own lives and the way we want them to go that we fail to recognize that the eyes of God are searching the earth for faithful servants who will lay down their plans for their lives and pick up that mantle. Well, when Elijah called out to Elisha, what happened? What was he doing? He was plowing the field, but he had to leave that place of work. He had to leave what he had known. He had to leave familiarity and comfort in order to chase after that mantle, and the mantle didn't even come the moment he surrendered. He was persistent to pursue it. These troubled times call for anointed people, and when God brings to you promotion, it's time to increase your devotion. Here's the reality. Some people are praying for a greater assignment when that greater assignment would destroy them if they kept their current prayer life. Some believers are praying for promotion when that promotion would cause them to crumble under the weight of the pressure if they were to keep the same devotion that they have to the word. Your prayer life, your intake and understanding of the word by revelation of the Holy Spirit, these deposits made in you are what strengthen that inner man. And as ministry, as assignment, as mantles begin to pile on the pressures, if what's in you is not stronger than what's coming on you, you'll break. I'll tell you this right now. If you were to hand everything that I'm stewarding right now, and again, I am just a steward, this is God's ministry. He could replace me like that. I know it's popular to say, no, there's only one you, and you're so special. I understand that to a degree. To a degree, we get that, but God is God. And if he wanted to say, I want another evangelist in your place, he could do that, like that. He'd find another, raise another very easily. And I know that. So I have to be very careful with how I steward it. But if I were to be given what I steward now, you gave that to 20 year old me, I would crumble under the pressure. If you were to have the same level of criticism and attacks leveled against 20 year old me, I would crumble under the pressure. The same responsibilities, the same assignments, the same demand of the schedule, I would crumble under that pressure. But a generation is waiting for you to catch it. Younger, old, rich or poor, known or unknown, every single one of us have an assignment from heaven. Now I want to show you here how to receive that impartation from the Holy Spirit. Let's look first at 1st John 2 27. Turn there please. 1st John chapter 2 verse 27. The Bible says this, but you have received the Holy Spirit and He lives within you. So you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know. And what He teaches is true. It is not a lie. So just as He has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ. Now this Scripture is not saying that you don't need teachers to teach you doctrine, to help bring correction, to help you grow spiritually. People pull this verse out and they'll say, well I need no man that teach me, so I don't need a pastor, I don't need a teacher, I don't need accountability. That's spiritual immaturity. God would not say you don't need teachers, here are teachers. Jesus would not say you don't need pastors, here's my gift for you, pastors. What this Scripture is talking about is that inner witness of the Holy Spirit that has caused you to believe the gospel. So at the very basic level all of us have this inner knowing, this inner connection with God, this inner connection with the truth of the gospel. And it is out of this connection that we begin to develop, but we still need spiritual guidance from fellow believers as well as those who have gone before us to help bring our lives into alignment. The Scripture here says to us very clearly that there is an anointing within you. Now watch this, go to Acts chapter 4 verse 13. People ask me, did you go to seminary? I have nothing against it, but I did not go, but I say I went to the Acts 4.13 school of ministry. The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with what? No special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus. When I first gave my heart to the Lord, and I use language like that, but biblically speaking it simply means I had believing faith, like in Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8 through 10. And that believing faith is what produces salvation. I get so tired of religious people who say things like well you know the sinner's prayer is not in the Bible. What a religious way to look at it. When I believe there's always an expression of faith. So it's faith that saves us and sometimes that faith is expressed in a prayer. And so it's not the sinner's prayer that we see as biblical, but it's sinners who pray and cry out to God. That is biblical. And so I remember there was this moment that marked my life and it is a moment of believing. There is a moment of believing that salvation, that beautiful work, that miracle is made manifest in your life and you're transformed into a new creation. And I remember that season where I first got saved. I loved it because I was a teenager, young teenager. I didn't have a job so I had all the time in the world to pray. I worked for a catering company. If you can picture that. I was the server so I would go around with the catering company. We would do weddings and all of that and I would go around and I would just serve the plates and that was my experience with getting into the workforce. But other than that I just prayed. I would pray four to eight hours a day. Now don't let that condemn you. Let that inspire you because I cannot pray four to eight hours a day now. I could maybe take a weekend out, go away and fast and do that, but the Lord understands the different demands on our life. For example, I have a marriage. I have a daughter. There is a ministry. There is travel. The Lord accommodates for that, but he looks at the season you're in to see how you manage the time that you do have. And so I've talked often about carving time out of your day for prayer life and we should do that, but neither should we feel condemned if we can't do what we hear people talking about in these stories where they pray four to eight hours a day because sometimes that's just not the season you're in. But I would pray four to eight hours a day and I was just seeking the face of Jesus. It was just a beautiful season. There are seasons of life like this and sometimes the seasons allow for this again. But I would just pour into the scripture 20, 30, 40, sometimes 50 chapters a day of the Bible just reading and reading and consuming and consuming and praying. That was my life for like two years. And that is where the ministry was birthed. The ministry did not begin on a pulpit. It began in a prayer room. The ministry that God gives to you must be an overflow of your relationship with him. If it is not an overflow of your relationship with him, you are not a preacher.  If it is not an overflow of your relationship with him, it is not a ministry. It is a business. It is not a calling. It is a career choice. All true ministry is an overflow of that love for Jesus. All true ministry is an overflow of that time of devotion in his presence. Now, this is the number one key to receiving impartation from the Holy Spirit. Time with the Lord. I've sat across the table from ambitious ministers who have asked me point blank. Now, there's nothing wrong with the question, but I was able to see sometimes in many instances right through to the motive. Ask me point blank, how do I grow the ministry bigger? How do I get more views? How do I get more followers? And I hear what they're saying because there is a part of that that is necessary. People say, do numbers matter? Well, there's a whole book in the Bible called numbers. Do numbers matter? Well, what do the numbers represent? They represent souls. So, yes, as long as there is a lost soul in this world, numbers will matter to me. But there's a difference when it comes to the motive being unchecked and it becomes about self and ambition. And so I would sit across the table from ministers who wanted techniques, methods, marketing ploys, advice on how to get the production done. And if you're watching and we've had lunch, I'm not necessarily talking about you because, Steve, we have lunch with lunch with all the time. It's a nonstop thing we do every week. We're sitting with different evangelists and ministers talking. So this isn't all. I said very small percentage. But they would ask me, and this became a common thread in people who just had like that ambitious heart, they would say, well, how do I get like that? Like get there? How do I get that power? How do I get that influence? And they wanted me to give them like this secret formula. Like, I shouldn't be telling you this, but if you fast on Tuesdays, or if you use more oil when you pray, you know, people want like rituals.  It's spiritual minus the spirit. It's a form of the spirit. Spiritual, take out the spirit. It's just a ritual. Methods. And what they're really asking is, how do I find a shortcut? My friend, I have news for you. There is no shortcut. And there is no secret. There's no secret hidden knowledge that I have that's not available in Scripture right there for you. It is time with the Lord. You say, I want something deeper. That is deep. Sometimes I think we confuse being deep for being bizarre. Oh, you know, so and so talks about those deeper truths. Like, really? Or they just talk about weird things that aren't in the Bible. I'm just giving it to you straight guys, because I don't want to waste your time tonight. And so people want that shortcut. They want, they want to, they want to move in power without sitting with the Lord. And I'm telling you, there's no, there is no secret. There is no shortcut. It has to be time with Him. And people don't want to do that. They want to go right to the assignment because it takes too long and it does take a long time to establish something like this, to establish ministry and fruitfulness. Now the foundation is first, but that doesn't mean it's unimportant. The foundation is first, but that doesn't mean it's unimportant. Ever watched them build a structure? You'll notice that the foundation and the framework is up for like months. And then in the final month, suddenly everything's done. Why? Because it's, it's the details that don't take as long, but it's the foundation that goes first and is most important. Like, we're constructing this new studio now. I was there today. We stopped by and I would, I would, all the contractors were there with me and I would just walk in by and look in at everything. It is looking beautiful. I'll show you something about it later tonight. But, but for like the first four months, it was all like cement and pipes and wood and going like, what is even happening here? And they explained to me, it takes a long time to do the foundation properly. They were working in the foundation with electrical, piping, insulation. Insulation doesn't look that interesting. My daughter thought it was cotton candy, but other than that, it's not very interesting looking. And, and it wasn't until recently that we started to see some of the details. You see, see that, that's how some of us are in ministry and our assignment. We want to start picking the color of the countertops and paint before we even done the foundation. And, and this is where time with the Lord is so key. And again, we imagine that because it's basic, it's not deep or because it comes first, that it's not as important, but that foundation really is the most important. And it takes the most time. It's not necessarily exciting. I mean, what sounds more interesting is in terms of like clickability on the internet, clickability on the internet, 12 signs that the end is in six months or how to build your character. People are most likely going to click on the 12 signs about the why because we want to be entertained as opposed to built up spiritually. If anyone has a video titled like that, I'm not talking about you. I just made it up right now on the spot. I have to be careful because people are funny.  The basics sometimes are boring to the flesh. And here's what I'm talking about. Time with the Lord. Think about Simon the sorcerer and Acts chapter eight. He gets rebuked. Why? Because he wants the power of the Holy Spirit. He sees the apostles are laying hands and that the power of the Holy Spirit is being given when they lay hands. And he says, I want that power. And then the apostles rebuke him and they tell him, you are filled with bitterness and jealousy. What he wanted was good. Why he wanted it wasn't. It's a good thing to desire the power of the Holy Ghost, but he wanted it to add to his collection of powers that he might be esteemed and looked to as important. So that's number one. It's time with the Lord. That is your foundation. Those formative years of the ministry, that's where my prayer life and my devotion to the word set the foundation and it's still the foundation today. Number two, for those of you taking notes, number one was time with the Lord. Number two, teaching. Teaching is spiritual. I've spoken about this before, but I think it's worth repeating. I think that we have this mindset that says something like, wow, the power of God moves so wonderfully that they didn't even preach their sermon. They threw out their notes and that's how you know it was a good service. But my question, and again, to clarify, I understand that there are times when the Holy Spirit will upset our agenda. But in seasons like that, in moments like that, my question would be, since when did the word of God become an obstruction to the flow of the Holy Spirit? Some people are even sitting in their seats now, get to the power already. Well, the Holy Spirit moves upon the word. The Holy Spirit breathes upon the message. The foundation of the word is what the Holy Spirit works upon. And if you have the power without the truth, my friend, that's not ministry. That's charismatic witchcraft. It's power without the person of Jesus. It's looking to his hand without knowing his heart. It's wanting the power without his presence. Dangerous to do that. But the word establishes you. Matthew 28, watch this 19 and 20, therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you, and be sure of this. I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Here we see Jesus giving that assignment of impartation. To receive the word, the word establishes you. The word becomes deposited in you. The word transforms you. The word reveals things about God. The word sets you up for your future. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people come to the altar, receive prayer, the power moves through them, they fall on the floor, they get up, and then they go live exactly the same as before. Why? Because there was no word. The word is what the Holy Spirit breathes upon. The word is what the Holy Spirit works with to bring forth transformation. Think about Genesis chapter 1, where God speaks when the Holy Spirit hovers, and it's the combination of the word and spirit that brought forth creation. The Holy Spirit breathes upon the word. He works with the word. If there is no word in you, you're not giving him anything to work with. This is not to say that he's not omnipotent, but this is to say that that is how he chooses to work. It's through the word. Now, on a side note here, this is why it's important that you recognize that mentors want a return on their investment. This is something I had to learn. You see, I would often go up to, I was the pastor's kid growing up, and any time we had a guest speaker, I would tag along for lunch, and I would just pester that guest speaker, asking him question after question after question. You remember this, Pastor Donnie. This is Jeremy's dad and me and Jeremy grouped together. I was always bugging the guest speaker, wasn't I? Just talking, talking, talking. And you'll remember Harry Hills and Steve Romine. There's these two evangelists. One has since passed away and gone home to be with the Lord. His name was Steve Romine. Such an impact on my life that November 14th is Steve Romine Day. It was the day he passed away. So the staff gets it off. We honor him that day. But Harry Hills and Steve Romine were two evangelists who couldn't have been more different than each other. Harry Hills was very stoic, right? He was very intense. And Steve Romine was just a comedian. Well, he was more than a comedian, but he was comedic. And both of them flowed in the word of knowledge and in healing gifts. Like Steve Romine would, and he could get away with it. He had what's called MS. So he was in a wheelchair praying for the sick. It was incredible. And he knew he could kind of get away with certain things because he was in a wheelchair and he kind of took advantage of that. It was hilarious. Like I remember he called this one person out, this lady who was wearing a leather jacket. She had a bandana and he's giving out words of knowledge and he just goes, you there biker chick. And so he would just kind of joke with the people like that. And it was really funny for people with a sense of humor. And so he would do things like that all the time. And I just, I just remember seeing such a difference in between the two of them. One was very serious. One was very happy, go lucky, funny. But both of them taught me various things about the healing ministry. And I would sit down with them with my notepad on my pen, and I would write down things that they would teach me. And then I would go read my notes over and over and over and over again. And I began to learn from them. I found in doing this with mentors over the year, and I'm going to help you out here tonight. If there are people you want to receive from, you have to be worth their investment. Now, to some, that might sound a little off. Say, well, I'm a person, I should be worth it. And I get that. But what are you doing with what's being given? You see, for example, people will say things like, well, the pastor never comes to my house. Well, well, what do you even put to practice the sermons he does give you? I'm telling you the truth. They got quiet in here. People come to me all the time or the David mentor me, mentor me, mentor me, teach me, teach me. How many of my books have you read? Well, none. Go read them all and then come back and we'll talk because because why am I going to repeat everything I've already said? Start from a different foundation. Or they'll say, Brother David, what are your thoughts on the spiritual gifts? I'm thinking, gee, I don't know, check out my playlist filled with over 12 hours of teachings on the spiritual gifts. I'm not going to say anything in different in person that I would on a teaching. And so I had to learn this because I would often want to receive mentorship and I wasn't even investing the time. And so we have to be people who are good students. You want to receive impartation. You got to be a good student. You have to know the word, not just in your own study, but you, but you, but you receive from others. Now this is why, by the way, it's so important that you set that first foundation because if you don't know the Lord, you're just going to go taking impartation from anybody. When you are established in the Lord first, then when something is out of place from someone who's trying to impart into you, you recognize it right away and you're able to reject it as opposed to embracing it. And sometimes it's not as extreme as rejecting the teacher. Sometimes it's just as simple as saying, well, you know, they may have missed it on that one point. I say it's like eating a watermelon. Eat the watermelon. You spit out the seeds. And sometimes there's just some seeds you have to get rid of. But that's number two. It's teaching. It's the teaching, the word as, as you sit in these services, you are receiving impartation. We picture impartation as laying on our hands. I'll get to that in the next point here. But, but it's also the receiving of the word. And, and you would be amazed at how if you sit under someone's teaching long enough, you begin to actually see the transformative work of those teachings. And this is why we have to be very careful about our sources. And this is why we have to first, again, establish that foundation. Are you receiving this tonight? You online, let me know in the comment section what's speaking to you the most so far. So number one, time with the Lord, number two, teaching. Number three, the laying on of hands. Now the laying on of hands does activate something, but it's important to recognize its place. The laying on of hands is not a man giving you his anointing. None of us have our own anointing in that sense. We are not owners of it. We are stewards. Only God owns the anointing. Only God owns the mantles. And sometimes he will so choose to transfer certain spiritual dynamics to individuals. I'll show you this here. Second Timothy one, I'll read verses six and seven. This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us the spirit of fear and timidity, but power, love, and self discipline. Here, Paul the apostle is talking to Timothy about a teaching gift that he received when Paul laid hands on him. It wasn't just the gift itself, guys. When he laid hands on him, he placed on him the authority to teach in those churches. He imparted not just the anointing, but also the authority that came with that anointing. You notice in the book of Acts when they lay hands, it was almost a ceremony where they would lay hands and that notified the people that those people were being positioned. Now, I don't know if I'll say it. I'll say it. You hear on a Thursday night, you want the details, I think. Please avoid superstitious thinking when it comes to laying on of hands because a lot of believers are tormented by fear that is so entirely unnecessary. Look, I understand being cautious about who lays hands on you because there are many reasons I don't want some stranger putting their hands on me. But this idea that you accidentally went somewhere and didn't realize the person wasn't of God and they prayed for you real quick and now God's going to look and go, hey, I have to lift my protection now. This is a mindset that has to be broken. This idea that God is just going to lift his favor off of you because the wrong person prayed with you. Not true. That's not biblical. Especially if we are unaware of the fact that someone is carrying something. Now, I can already hear it. When you say something like that that's biblically sound, it immediately causes those fear-based thoughts to begin to rise. Whoa, you can't tell people that because then they're going to go around and that's going to be an open door for the enemy. What are you doing? You're leading people astray. Everyone's going to go astray and God's going to lift his face. It's fear speaking. That's fear speaking. That's superstition speaking. That's religion speaking. This idea, well, if somebody came to a church and stood in the worship service with their arms folded, what would you tell them? You'd say, you know, God can't touch you if you have a hard heart like that. Yet somehow the enemy is so powerful, so much more so supposedly than God that if some wrong person prays for me that even though I didn't want to receive that spirit, he can overpower the Holy Spirit and have influence over me. Not a chance. Not a chance. Now let's balance this. That doesn't mean just go let everyone lay hands on you, but it does mean that you can be free of this fear that says, oh my goodness, I accidentally had someone lay hands on me and they have possibly some connections with, I don't know, the Illuminati. A lot of Christians, I call them conspiracy Christians, but a lot of them were born out of the pandemic. Why? Because isolation breeds fear. And so we're dealing with this new wave of superstitious thinking and this is why we have to come back to biblical standards and this is why we have to recognize the power of the Holy Spirit. There's no power in superstition. I'll tell you where the real power is at. The real power is in the word. The real power is the move of the Holy Spirit that's Bible based.  This just means you can be liberated from that superstitious fear that somehow God has removed favor from you on that. I told you it was a little bit of a tangent, but we're going to get a little bit deeper tonight because again, I think that's appropriate for these services really are a collection of believers who want to go deeper. And so that's why I feel liberty to go off on these tangents, but that is an important one and there may be some questions on that. Maybe we'll do questions later, but the reality is if you've been faithful to the first two, time with the Lord and teaching, that gives the laying on of hands lasting impact. See, when I lay hands on people tonight, some of them will feel God's power. You'll see them fall on the floor. Some will be healed. Some will be delivered, not by my power. It's his. We recognize that already. It's flowing through, but not from. People will be touched, but the stronger impartation, the residue of what's left comes most upon those who sat under the teachings and who are actually walking with the Lord on their own, because the Lord is ultimately in charge of this and he's watching as I lay hands. That's why if you, whenever you see me pray for someone for impartation, I say, Lord, let them receive according to their faith. In other words, the capacity that they have to receive of that mantle, which belongs to the Lord, is only going to come upon them based on that. So that's number two laying on of hands.  Okay, I'm about to really challenge you here because this next dynamic we're going to talk about is the most misunderstood aspect of impartation. And it's abused and it's confused quite often. Number four, honor and service. Let me talk to you about two extremes here. Oh, Lord is right. Let me talk to you about two extremes here on one extreme. There are cult like leaders who exercise emotional and spiritual abuse over people to get them to do what they want. On the other side, there are prideful Christians who don't like the idea of serving. Neither extreme is biblical. Now addressing first this idea of that oppressive cult like culture, if you will, if a man or a woman has ever told you that you cannot fulfill the call of God without them, that's manipulation.  And I'll tell you the only reason the curse worked is because you believed it would. It's fear. It's the idea of they cursed me and they're tormented by that thought until they realize you can't curse what God has blessed. On the other hand, my generation especially does not like to serve. I've seen things on social media from the workforce, people who work in retail or at coffee shops or restaurants complaining about customers just wanting basic things. I told you we're gonna really deal with something here. It's like they get upset that they have to do their job and they want respect for what they eventually intend to do in life as opposed to what they've actually accomplished. And what this is is pride. It's the idea of I'm better than this and by complaining about where they are they feel that reinforces the idea that they're better than that. I'll tell you this, if I worked at a coffee shop, I would be the best coffee shop worker I could be. If I was a server at a restaurant and I did serve at catering company, when people were rude to me it wasn't I'm better it was just it was a chance to practice humility. It was a chance to learn to break that anger in people with love and kindness. And so we have a generation that doesn't understand that dynamic. We have a generation that doesn't like the idea of there being authority structures and there being levels of growth and levels of power. There's a generation that doesn't like that. But honor and service is biblical. Let me show you something. In 1 Samuel chapter number 16, I'm going to read verses 14 and 16, 14, 15 and 16. Excuse me. 1 Samuel 16, 14, 15 and 16. Now the Spirit of the Lord had left Saul and the Lord sent a tormenting spirit that filled him with depression and fear. Some of Saul's servants said to him, a tormenting spirit from God is troubling you. Let us find a good musician to play the harp whenever the tormenting spirit troubles you. He will play soothing music and will soon be well again. Now go down to verse 21. So David went to Saul and began serving him. Saul loved David very much and David became his armor bearer. Now we won't get too much into the fact that that term armor bearer is very often abused. But look at the fact that David is serving a demon-possessed, pride-filled, heavenly reject. Guys, he was demon-possessed and David was serving him. You want to talk about flaws?  This is not an excuse for abuse. This is not to say you should put up with abuse. This is simply to say, I think that honor goes much deeper than we think. This is why, by the way, I don't criticize men and women of God. People think I do sometimes. People think I'm talking about men and women of God. Like, when I teach on a certain subject or address a certain problem, people go, oh, I know who he's talking about. Like, no, you don't. You're making an assumption and you're going to cause drama by doing that. I don't speak against anyone. I speak for truth. And it's like a train track. If someone wants to play on the train tracks, then when that train comes through, that's not the train's fault. So when I declare truth, it's not aimed at anyone. And what actually is that is, it's this mentality that's looking for those problems. But I will not attack a man or a woman of God. Now if there was a heretic in our midst, like coming to these gatherings, or a heretic in the church network that I'm a part of, or a heretic where I had actual authority to speak against, that Paul spoke against heretics who were coming to his churches. And I say his churches in the sense that God gave them to him to steward. If I were to spend my time calling out every heretic, I would never have time to talk about anything else. I think it's very scary when these people so passively speak about men and women of God who, yes, have flaws. But I think because of the age of the internet, we feel so disconnected from these people that there's no fear to speak against God's servants. Now I understand people misuse the context of David saying, I won't touch God's anointed when he wouldn't attack Saul. I understand that. That's misuse. That doesn't mean don't question. That doesn't mean don't call out heresy. That doesn't mean follow blindly. I get that. But the principle of honor still applies. I'm so tired of seeing seasoned men and women of God who, yes, have major flaws by some punk kid with a big mouth and a hard heart who thinks because he read a couple of books and the Bible a few times over, can say, that's a false teacher. What disrespect, what dishonor. I would not want to stand before God having done that. Yes, there's a time to call out heretics. Yes, there's a time to call out false teachers. Don't hear what I'm not saying. But we have to come with this against this topic very reverently and we must tread with reverence, not fear. Never be afraid to speak out against things that are not biblical. But to be so apathetic to just calling these people out, I'm thinking these people who are criticizing these other people haven't accomplished for the Lord even half of what they have. And some might say it's not about that and I would agree, but the idea is honor. I will not speak against them. Are you afraid to call people out? Not at all. I will call people. I have called people out. But in the proper context, in the right way and when it falls under my spiritual jurisdiction within movements and churches that I'm actually a leader in, we throw that around so much.  And it's almost like forgive me for being so blunt. I sense a righteous indignation.  You know how there's just kind of a joke that comes into any culture and it's just the easy joke to make? It's almost like, well, I can call them a false teacher because everyone, they're a proven false teacher, proven false teacher.  You can hear a pin drop in this room right now, by the way. And we're just so free with it. I will not participate in that. I refuse. David honored Saul. Not only would he not harm him physically, he wouldn't dare speak against him. Let's address the extreme. I'm not saying allow for spiritual abuse and allow for heresy to run rampant. If someone speaks against a fundamental of the faith, you better call that out. But my friend, we're calling out doctrinal disagreements that are based on nothing but preference and a difference of opinion on study. And we based on the side issues, we're dishonoring God's servants. That is familiarity. It's why in Mark chapter six, verse five, Jesus could only perform some miracles because they dishonored the gift on his life. They dishonored that mantle. And because they dishonored it, they could not receive from it. We pray, Lord, send revival, send revival like you did in the days of old. And then we dishonor the people God used to do it. Acknowledge their mistakes. Sure. Learn from their mistakes. Sure, I do. Correct the theology that needed to be corrected, of course. This is not a license to dishonor. Now let me show you something that happens. Britain, come up here for a second, please. Most people don't have an issue with serving men and women of God. They have an issue with serving men and women. The of God part we all like, you know how easy it would be? You know how easy it would be for Britain to serve in this ministry? If I was always standing up here with Ishmael on the keys, singing, welcome Holy Spirit and praying for the sick, how easy would that be? But he has to see and put up with my flesh as well. My impatience, my forgetfulness sometimes. I forget a lot of things. Thank God for Ruben. My drive to get things accomplished. Now we do have a culture that recognizes rest here. Would you say so? Yes, sir. How many times have I had to force you to rest? A lot. Okay. He's a hard worker and I have to stop him and say your emotional and spiritual state is more important than getting a video out this week. Have I not told you that? And I say you need to rest. If we lose a few views and a few subscribers, that's okay. I'm not going to lose your soul. And so that is our culture, but there's still tension. There's conflict. Now he serves in this ministry because he wants God to use his life in a similar way. That is why he's here. He loves the Lord. He's learning what he can. And I believe God's going to raise him and take him. I pray God does more with him than with me. That's my honest, sincere prayer. My honest, sincere prayer. Spiritual leadership is a covering, not a lid. Sometimes leaders get threatened when people start being raised. You can be successful, but not more successful than me. That's where they have the issue. So here watch this now. In serving and honoring the servants of God through their ministries and so forth, we demonstrate that honor. Not abuse. He's not carrying my Bible around. I won't let him carry my bags. We're talking about serving the ministry through serving the many women of God, but that doesn't mean I have a bunch of butlers around me. I can carry my own iPad and my own phone, okay? So we're not talking about lackeys who are kept around and never allowed to be promoted. They're just there to do their thing, right? And I think that's sometimes what it becomes. It's like a pyramid scheme, right? Where the minister sits on the top. When you begin to serve, here's what happens. Let's say I'm serving this man of God. From a distance, get how anointed. When he prays for people, the power of God moves. Miracles are happening. You're prophesying. The teaching is sharp. Talk about him. And here's what happens. When we serve, step a little closer, and then we go, oh my goodness, what happened? There's a powerful man of God who I love and honor. This was a similar journey I had to go on. From the distance, I would see tens of thousands of people packing in new arenas, power of the Holy Ghost. And I knew there was a connect. Since when I was 14 years old, the Lord told me there'd be a connection there from a distance. Wow. And here's what most believers do. Oh, never mind. And then they go from place to place.  And they walk away. I'm fully convinced that the Lord hides impartation behind humanity so that only the persistent can get it. Stay there, Brit, just for a second. When you begin to serve in a ministry, and I'm not just talking about individuals. I'm talking about churches, movements, anything. The humanity starts to show. Is it speaking to anyone right now? Now, if you get here and you see blatant sin, blatant abuse, I'm with you. But so many times, we call challenges abuses. And I think that word gets, the word abuse gets abused. It was toxic or it was a little bit challenging. They never let me spend any time with my family. They never let you spend any time with your family or they challenge you to invest your time in the church. Big difference. They were so mean. They were meaner. They were truthful. They rejected me. They rejected you or they challenged you to reject your sin. You throw that around. Toxic, toxic, toxic, toxic, toxic. Abuse, abuse, abuse. It's thrown around too much. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm saying we use that word too much. Well, they asked me to serve and it was hard. It was difficult. Yeah. That's how it works. We're all working in the kingdom, but you do start to see the flaws. Here's what happens after that. I'm at a distance. I see the flaws. I have a choice. I can go back this way and I'll never see them again this way. You will never, Britain will never see me the way he saw me when he first saw the ministry. It's just that that is gone. I'm not saying it's that I'm a fake behind the scenes. I'm saying that the the wow factor gone. That little, you know, whatever you want to call it. I don't consider myself a public figure, but the way we get with public figures sometimes it's similar. Those who are truly persistent lean in in those moments where you were off at a distance, you were wowed. Came in a little closer. You were wowed again, but in a different way.  I see it. I can see it. And this. Thank you, Brit. Give Brit a hand, guys. Conflict tests honor. I haven't seen the distance. Whoa. Amazing. I'm not saying this individual is some horrible. Everyone has flaws and you just see them. And I'll never forget the day I finally recognized. Oh my goodness. I began to the presence of Jesus was like God uses that. Maybe I'll share it with you one day. I'm convinced that God hides the anointing and abrasive humanity so that only the faithful can receive it. And that would be number five proximity relationship. This can't always work, but it does in any in some instances. God will connect you. It was a long time before Elisha received the double portion, even though he had caught the garment. It was a long time before David became king, even though he was anointed. It was a long time before Christ was incarnated, even though he had been prophesied. That proximity comes through relation. You can reference Romans one 11 through 12. So to recap those of you taking notes, number one time with the Lord, number two teaching, number three, the laying on of hands, number four honor and service, number five, proximity. And I won't have time to get into that tonight. But would you just lift your hands begin to pray in the Holy Spirit all across this room? You online, stay with us. We're praying right now. I'm going to ask the Lord to touch you too. And I'm going to pray that that anointing, that power, it's present on this room. That same tangible touch would begin to flow through you and to you as well. I want you loudly and boldly now begin praying out loud in the Holy Ghost. Do we love you? We honor you. Jesus, we love you. We honor you. Get softly, Steve, Holy Spirit now unwelcome. Lift your hands, church, begin to sing it. You're here this evening and you believe that tonight the Holy Spirit is speaking to you in regards to catching the mantle. Something in this message spoke to you in a profound way. This call is for those of you watching online as well. But you're in the room and you say that is me. The Holy Spirit is speaking to me right now in that way. Don't do this apathetically. Don't do this without thought and sincerity.  Stand up right there where you are. And you watching online, I want you just to begin to comment and say that's me. I want you to publicly say that. Publicly say that now. Say that's me. Whether that be humbling yourself, whether that be shuring up that place in your walk with the Lord where you're devoted to him, whether that be repenting of dishonoring God's service, whether that be lacking in any one of these areas that we've talked about every single one of us have to respond to what the Holy Spirit is speaking to us regarding this very important truth impartation. Now lift your hands all across this room. You watching online do the same if you can. Father, I pray right now that you would cause a great impartation to take place today. Father, let your people catch the man. May you not find us sleeping. The hour is late. Father, we pray that you would cause us to be vigilant. We might put the hand to the plow. That we might experience the crucified life laying down our desires and picking up your will. Help us, Lord, to deny ourselves. Help us, Lord, to follow the path you've laid before us. Say this to him. Say, use me, Lord. Say it again. Say, use me, Lord. Now begin to pray out loud in the Holy Ghost right now.  A great impartation is taking place. A great impartation is taking place. Britain, this guy in the hat, blue striped shirt, blue and white, blue and white. Something's happening here. Church, pray in the Holy Ghost.  Bring him here. You online keep praying. There's impartation taking place. Lift your hands. You want God to use you? Lift your hands, ask him for it. Keep praying, church, keep praying, church, keep praying, keep praying, keep praying. Woe be sent in you. Lord, let there be an impartation. Help us to pick up the assignments. Help us to pick up the assignments, Lord. Send us where you want us to go. Tell us what you want us to do. We surrender it to you, Lord. We surrender to you. The hour is late. We pray you use us, use us, use us, use us. Bring this man here with the black shirt, please. Keep praying, church, keep praying. Count on Robo sent in you. The blue shirt, please. The one next to Colin here. Guys, there's a heavy anointing here tonight. Sing it, Steve. Lift your voices and sing, church. Everyone standing here. Angels all around. Let us praise Jesus now. Acknowledge his presence, church. Lift your hands as we sing. We are standing. People tonight to pick up the men to place upon their lives. Father, may we honor the assignment in our lives and in the lives of others we pray. Lord, may we guard ourselves by drawing close to you. Help us to not let go because we know you won't let go. Father, we ask that above all that Jesus would be glorified in our lives. In the mighty name of Jesus. Take a moment, church, just keep praying softly, softly. He's doing a work, you online watching. He's doing a work in you right now. He's doing a work in you right now. I want to talk to this guy in the front who I pray for. Can you help him here for a second? Tell me, please, if you can, what you're experiencing. I feel like I can just feel his presence here. Being just being here and around people. Just around his presence. I see such a strong anointing on you. What are you feeling on your body? I can feel that my body is just getting much lighter and I can just feel that I can just. Is it difficult to describe? Yes, yes, yes. It's beautiful what's happening here. He's here, church. Thank you, Lord. Just another moment, please. It's not rush what he's doing in this moment. You online. Don't rush what he's doing in this moment now. Because he's doing something in you. He's doing something. You can sense the weightiness of his presence. Just wave at me. Wave at me if you can sense that. Please, help her to carry it. Jesus, stretch your hands toward her. That's the power of God on her. What are you feeling on you? Electricity. Lord, let them sense it online too in the name of Jesus. Sense it online. Don't want to rush. Colony is going to make you a different man. He's going to make you a different man. You'll not be the same. He's going to cause there to be a sharp mind. But the Lord says there's an intellect that God has gifted you with. You've allowed to lay dormant because of the insecurities that the enemy has brought against you. But there is a confidence. There is a boldness. There is a strength that is coming upon your life.  You will stay faithful to his word.   You'll be a testimony to those who thought that God could not use them. You will become a different man. That's what the Holy Spirit says to you now. Please reverently take your seats. You watching online, the anointing is flowing just the same. In fact, I can see if the Lord's touching your life online, let me know in the comment section right now. You here in person, how many of you, the Lord is doing a work in you tonight?  And I think that the Holy Spirit sometimes has to speak with strength. He always speaks with strength, but I mean with correction. And, and I think that we have to learn again, and I want to balance this so that no one can say I said what I didn't. I'm not saying put up with heresies. I'm not saying don't correct theologies. I'm not saying don't call out things when they need to be. But, but even that can be done in an honoring way. You hear me? You watching online, I'm seeing the testimonies. Patricia says, I feel the power of the Lord. Timmy says, he healed my broken hearted, my broken heartedness. Macea says, I received healing from the friends. Carlos says, Amen. God is here. Julia says, thank you, Father, for your presence. Logan says, I'm feeling, I've been feeling the Lord's power over me. Logan Spirit says, I want to bring peace to your mind. Stability, stability, stability to your mind. It calls you to stand on a firm foundation. Your future is bright. Rose says, I feel something dropping on my head. That's the weight of the presence right there. How many just sense that right now? Raise your hand. Wow. Avion says, I feel his presence and power. Alex says, it's like a blanket of the Holy Spirit. Kayla says, I felt a lot all over my hands. Summer says, I can feel a strong anointing. Jovi says, I feel his presence and I see light. You know, that's, I wasn't going to talk about this, but that's been happening. People watching online, they say they can see like a glowing on the platform sometime. I haven't seen it, but if you catch it, screenshot it, send it to me, please. Now I told you we would transition to this portion of the service and please remember its purpose. Please remember its purpose. But I want to talk to you real briefly. You sitting here and you watching online as this male stays with me. Now is the season to seize kingdom opportunities. You know, Jesus said that sometimes the children of the world are more wise in certain areas than the children of God. And I think an example of that in our day is the fact that so many believers panic in times that seem like chaos and crisis. You know, there are wicked men and women in our world who aren't panicking right now. They're seizing opportunity. We need to have that same boldness. We need to have not the same faith because their faith is misplaced. Their faith is in their own intellect, in their own resources. Our faith is in God. We as a ministry have been seeing expansion in this season, like solid expansion every single day, every single day growth, growth, growth. And I would even say I think most of you just as a survey, even online, most of the people who know about this ministry probably only found out about us in the last nine months to a year. Now, how many is that you within the next look around the room? How many within the last two years? Okay, so that's everybody else. You know, we've been here for 20 years. I've been preaching, but see, that's what I'm talking about. It takes a long time to lay a foundation. I was telling Ruben in the back, I said, from the outside looking in, it looks like we're just getting started. But that's that's the root. It's been 18 years of laying roots. And only the past two years have we seen the real fruitfulness at this scale. And I believe it's only going to go more and more. But to God be the glory, please remember, we are just stewards of what belongs to God. And this ministry, as I said, is experiencing growth. And I'm going to need your help. I'm coming to you as a brother in Christ thing. I need your help. And I know I can trust God's people.   That's all we want to know. That's all believers want to know. They just want to know that when they give, it's actually making an impact. Well, I want to show you some things and I won't be able to see them on my myself. Actually, maybe I'll step down so I can. I want to show you some things. And Tim, it'll, I almost called you Tim. Tim, it'll stay online too, right? They'll be able to see it. Okay, I want to show you something. I've been talking about these progress at the studio. And for like the first four months, there's been nothing to show because as I mentioned earlier, it's been all like electrical foundation and all that. So let's first look Tim at the workstation, where it was, okay? That was, that was the workstation. Then can we see what would happen next there, Tim? So the next one, okay. So do we have a concept of that? Give me a thumbs up if we do. No, we don't. Okay, so that's the workstation. Let me know if we have concepts. You can yell at me, Tim, because they won't be able to hear you on the microphone anyway. Okay, then there's the next, here's some rash. I think there's a men's restroom. Oh, no, there's the green room coming into progress. Show me the men's restroom before. Okay, no one's going to use that. That's where we were for a long time. And show me where we're at now. So it's coming along. Now, now the walls are not purple. That's a special type of dry wall that's used in so that where there's moisture and water, it doesn't affect it as badly. Okay, let's take, do we have any concepts of those? What do we have concepts of? Okay, there's no concepts, but you can look at those on the website, davidhernanisminitiaries.com. So look at the foyers coming along. You can see there's progress being made. So this is where it was. Hold it here, Tim. You guys see that box right there? That's where we've been filming the last few months. And then where are we at now? It's coming along as you can see. So let's open up why this so that you can see the ceilings coming in place and there's progress there. Show me where we were with the studio, Tim, that big space there. Check this out. I told him I wanted most of the work being done here first anyway. So this is where we were. This was actually a pool. People were swimming here as a community pool. Show me where we are now, Tim. So you can see the electricals done, the plumbing is done, the piping is done, the foundations are laid, what's coming in next is flooring and paint and all the decorative stuff. But guys, I need your help if we're going to finish this. Now, why are we doing this? This is not just so we can say, oh, look at how wonderful we have a building. And people sometimes misunderstand the spiritual dynamics of having an actual location. But it's really from this studio that we're going to begin to create more content and reach more people than ever before. Bottom line, this is another tool. It is the biggest tool we've ever made that will help us to reach more people. Every single time we've done a project like this, the ministry has sometimes quadrupled, sometimes it was a 10x in its impact. I believe that this will be the biggest growth spurt the ministry has seen to date. I believe that with all my heart. And that's actually where you're going to be going on Thursday nights. There's more space there. We have more rooms for everybody to come in tonight. We had some people standing out there still and we only have so much space here, but that's where it's going to be. But you guys, and this is to those of you watching online too, we do not do this alone.  We have until the end of August, and I've been told there might be, we keep pushing it with the contractors who are building it because it actually is to our advantage when they actually delay just a little bit. But mid-September is like they're going to finish. So in order to keep this going, I do not want to put this project on pause. We want to finish the entirety of the fundraising for phase one by the end of August. And I believe we can do it. But we're going to need your help. And this is going to take every single one of us doing the absolute best that we can. Some of you watching, you do what you can. You say, I can't do much, but I can do 20, I can do 100, I can do 50, I can do five. It all counts.  But there are also those watching whom God has really caused fruitfulness in your finances. And you're able to do those larger amounts. I won't name them because I want you to hear from the Holy Spirit. I remember the last project we had a lady come in and she just funded the rest all in one go. She said, I'll just fund the rest. And I believe there are a couple of people watching who can take out massive percentages of what we need to raise. But now is the time. We've been getting emails calls saying, when should we give? When is the last day? We now is the time. If you've been planning on helping, if you've been waiting to see what others will do, we'll do this is about where we are now. We need every single one of you to help us cross the finish line so we can finish this project for the glory of God and for the winning of souls and for the expansion of the kingdom. So Tim online, I want them going on to the studio page expand slash expand. And those of you here, we're just going to pass out the envelopes usher's come. You can either take an envelope or you can scan the QR code. I am asking everyone present, everyone online, everyone who will watch this on the replay to do the absolute best that you can and all of us together. I mean, I look at it. There are 645,000 subscribers on YouTube alone. If everyone of them gave $1, we'd have it. So not everyone's going to give though we understand that not everyone's even going to see this one video. But but if everyone does what they can, we can do this together. We can do this. And I know the Lord will bless us for it. But the primary reason we give is for the kingdom for the kingdom. So get behind this vision. I'm calling on you, supporters, friends, viewers, I'm calling on you now. Get behind this project. We need you. All hands on deck for this one. We are calling on every single one of you. Now, if you've never given before, this is the one you're going to give to. If you've been waiting to give to this project now is the time. Maybe you're one of those. I know, for example, some of our higher donors, they say, I want to help with a large amount. But let me see first what everyone's going to give. We'll go look at the website. That's about where we are. We've been pushing this for three months now. That's about where we are. And we're going to need some of you high donors now who are led by the spirit to come in and help finish this project off. So as the envelopes go throughout the room, I'll just instruct you on that. You can you can make checks payable to David Hernandez ministries. But when you're using an envelope, make sure you fill out the entire envelope. If you're going to use the envelope, you're watching online or you're giving on the QR code, there's no reason to fill out an envelope. And it's important that we give. It's important that we give because this is the work. This is the work. This is the work of the kingdom. And I see many of you. Someone said, I'm now watching you on ISN. I guess we're on Sid Roth right now. So I'm in two places. I'm live here. Okay, I promise I'm live here. We see so many supporters online. Someone says they're sending it in from Singapore. Thank you, Sally. We appreciate that. Marty says, thank you for praying for me. It's my privilege and my honor. So guys, it's time now. This is it. We're right up against the finish line. We're going to cross over that finish line. It's time we do this. It's time we do this. And we thank you for your support. I thank you to Karen who gave, Sierra who gave, Tammy who gave. I also see Samret gave, and I'll see all the names that come in. DavidHernanisministries.com slash expand. That's where you're going to go to give you here. We're going to count everything toward that anyway. Let's pray. Let's ask the Lord, will you pray with me for the Lord to bless the people who give? And most importantly, will you pray that God would use these resources to reach more people? Will you pray? Come on. Pray with me now, Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask you, Lord, to bless each and every giver who by faith is stepping out, who by faith is sowing into good ground. We thank you, Father, that you're able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we could ask or imagine. So Lord, I'm thanking you in advance for bringing in every last dollar that is needed for this project. Lord, I stand here in faith, and I thank you, Lord, that you brought it in. I thank you, Lord, that you brought the increase. I thank you, Lord, that we exceeded our goal. I thank you, Lord, that you're going to use these resources to reach more people around the world.  We say, bless this work. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. And the church said, Amen.


I know we're talking about prioritizing proteins and I was just mentioning to everybody, especially in the keto space, I think everybody in the early days concentrates so hard on fat and not eating the carbs that they actually neglect and forget about protein. So you know why are proteins so important Dustin? Well why is huge muscle preservation one of the biggest things but you look at it there's a few components to the human body that are really important. Minerals are really important, proteins are really important. The proteins are like the building blocks of the human body so and it's more than just I eat protein. It's like you need a variety, you need to have the right essential amino acids, you need to get the non-essential amino acids through your food and so this is really really important but you like you said is like a lot of times people are trying to hit all their numbers and they realize they missed that one and I tell people protein should be a constant. The original ketogenic diet was developed for kids with epilepsy back in the early 1900s and one of the biggest challenges they had is because they had to have their keto level so high is that their protein level sometimes had to go really low.  I'm not usually that worried about the amount of protein people eat so but I'm more concerned people not eating enough because of the long-term loss of muscle mass, the health benefits of what protein can provide and of course high quality sources of protein so super super important. I do have kind of a range of what I recommend for people if they want a ballpark to get started. Yeah so you know what I often get is but what about Atkins man? Like Atkins was a high protein diet and that seemed to work and it didn't seem to work and and did you know he died young and all that sort of stuff? Can you talk to Mr. Atkins about it? Honestly Dr. Atkins was way ahead of his time. He had to fight if you think about his situation he had to fight a pretty big battle we were in the low fat craves back then.  Also yes you can over eat protein and reduce your ability to get into ketosis but it's I'm more concerned with people nowadays not eating enough protein and that's especially as we get older and Dr. Atkins just so you know from what I understood he actually got a head injury that led to his death nothing to do with any other metabolic issues so just to clear the air and but but yeah the idea is is that you know we're suggesting most people do like either two meals three meals a day three meals usually is all people really need but two meals or even one meal for some people so they're eating high quality protein in those meals but they're also they're using fat as the as the other component you don't need if you're a hundred 150 pound woman you don't need 150 grams of protein as that female if you're not a high level athlete even even then you might not need that much and I think that's what happened with Atkins is people were just mass consuming protein and they weren't necessary to choose in the right qualities of protein because they're eating so much the way to keep it cheaper is the crappy types of protein and I don't think that was ideal either so for us today we're educated now and when I understand this better is high quality protein but make sure you eat an appropriate amount for yourself which is not there's no perfect science right now to tell you that you have to find it but I can give you a good range is to figure that out yeah and I've heard you mention it several times and I know all about it but you keep mentioning this high quality protein can you talk to us more about like what do you mean by high quality program like protein what's it what's a low quality protein right high quality protein so and I'm not going to get into this too deep but I'll give you a little bit of an understanding is that some of the meat industry has gotten some bad wraps over the last 20 years and and rightly so but the problem is it gave meat a bad wrap and that's not the way it should have been it should have been the industry or those come those companies not necessarily the product itself so high quality proteins the more you the more free range grass bed wild type proteins is the highest quality you can get and ironically they tend to be less in fat in them because they're that animal tends to be more moving and tends to be consuming a diet that doesn't necessarily fatten them up right now granted a good old steak if I'm having a birthday steak I want a nice good marbling in it I want a little bit of corn fed in there I mean hey listen I want to enjoy that now I've learned to enjoy more wild meat but at first it might be a little transition so that's the optimal protein wild fish right or you know fine sources that are less contaminated if you're if you're really concerned about that so the more the more fresh or wild is the step one step two is like right now let's say you're using beef or even chicken you want to find ones that are more out like so you might have a grass fed cow finished with corn right well that's higher quality than a only a corn fed cow right or only a grain fed cow or that isn't isn't able to get out of the pen and be wild or be out and wander a little bit so that's kind of the pecking order there are some meats out there that are that are made that are made I don't consider that high quality mean like like beyond meat now hey if that you're vegan that's all you have then hey that's all you have but I don't consider that a high quality replacement for a good old piece of wild game or wild meat or even a good old steak now let's get to the process stuff I'm not a big fan of process meats now hey I saw your bacon my wife's calling me get get rid of her let's get rid of her she'll call me again probably but I'm not a big fan of like like people go like he's much bacon I don't want in the kitchen diet or a low carb diet well the reality is I can get you to change your life with bacon but it's probably not a good long-term healthy product to have a mask and some bad mass consumption I have bacon once or twice a week but I recommend like salamis and bacon and in your in your deli meats and all that stuff I recommend moderate that that should only be about 20% of your protein content per day should come from that cheeses and dairy should still be about 20% the majority of your protein should come from from high quality protein sources that are not processed dairy you know depends if you're taller or not if you're taller to dare you can maybe go a little higher with dairy people that need that and but that's kind of my ballpark I hope that wasn't too complicated for people but protein is so important for us and more important as you get older because you don't break down as well there you don't digest as well and you need more because that's just gonna protect your muscle mass as you get older yeah and we've talked about this already like that the importance of muscle mass as you I'm really great grateful that you keep you know mentioning that because now I'm getting a little older I've got to be really concerned about that but hey so you know like we're talking about the building blocks of the body right we're not just talking about muscle we're talking about here nails like all that sort of stuff what is like a general rule of thumb for people watching on the amounts of proteins that they should be ingesting eating themselves yes I just break it down I mean I've been doing this a long time and I'm there it's gonna be variable because I've worked with top at level athletes with my mom at 72 right what I tell people is most women should be somewhere between 50 and 100 grams of protein a day so if you think about this way that's that's most women so I would say at minimum a woman should have two decks of cards of protein day if you take a deck of cards make it into a any any kind of protein source yes some are gonna have me more fatty or some are gonna be more lean chicken thigh and chicken breast is gonna be slightly different but it's still pretty close so a breath at least two decks of cards of animal protein ideally if you're vegan or vegetarian then you need to find alternative sources and you're looking at that 50 to 100 grams now if you're a high-level athlete female athlete then I might push them over over 100 grams a day for for training purposes and different purposes as a man the lowest I'd ever seen a man I've ever put a man on a protein diet is 120 grams a day so 120 grams up to you know I've had men go as high as 300 grams but I see between 120 and a hundred and between 120 and 200 grams of protein for a man per day now if you're in the fitness you're into working out and training that's gonna be a variable but now if you're if you're big in the fasting which I am when fasting on your fasting days because I do different fasting days I don't over worry about getting enough protein in those days I do get some in some ways but as a whole these are your normal days these is the 80% of the time you want to be in those ballparks so that's like a good rule of thumb to get started started for most people and yeah the higher the quality the better yeah and you know the thing I always coach with we talked about intimate and fasting there and we haven't really talked about that much yet but like you know the cool thing I like about intimate and fasting is is the actual feasting that comes with that as well right like I'm a big proponent they've like oh don't focus on what you're taking away focus on what you actually can have and be grateful for that so when it comes to breaking that fast it's like hallelujah look at this glorious meal I have in front of me let's get down and chow down and enjoy that bad boy so so many cool things that we keep coming up with I think we might be able to do like more of this further on the line you actually made me think of something there and I'll just touch on it for a second the the power of our mind like that's what you're doing is is you use you took a situation and made it into a really cool positive it's kind of like if you're hunting in the wild and you shoot an animal that and you're starving like that food is going to have a different impact on our body than if you just went to the store and picked up quick or went to McDonald's and picked up quick so looking forward to something and have an excitement about it actually changes your biochemistry it actually has an impact on your glucose and has an impact on your body response which does matter and so I think that's something we could talk about in the future down the road because if we're going to get people metabolically healthy and get them in a good place we got to look at the whole package package and when people think it's about food and exercise and it's just it's 70% mental it's 70% my 70% mindset 20% nutrition and then 10% more physical activity and I can add more to that I we could add another 25% for your environment but now we're at 125% and it's cool that you mentioned that mindset because guys it looks like the consensus is in that we're going to go with a 10 day challenge not a five day challenge everyone's excited with a 10 day challenge and when we talk about that challenge guys we're not just talking about like how do I eat and what do I eat we're also talking about mindset accountability hydration good quality meals what else have I forgotten there Dustin movement movement of course movement as well so we will have some coming details about that and we will share more on when we're going to roll that out how we're going to roll it out but we're super excited and then the last one which was crazy yesterday I think we had 30 people sign up for the free essential keto slash low carb cookbook yesterday so I'll drop those links down in here hope you guys have a fabulous day I'm always going to do what I do closing words from the man the myth the legend commit commit to your journey prioritize protein if you want to stay long-term healthy and just remember that getting the low carb is a process and a journey that for you to be able to maintain a new life you're creating a new life for yourself and hopefully you're being the demonstration for the people you care the most about and that's the most important part here we go love it I don't my friends will see you same bat time same bat channel
