THREE STAGES OF PROCESS
I declare in the name of Jesus I walk in victory. My tent pegs are being stretched and my territory for the Kingdom is being expanded. I have supernatural authority to influence the lost and hurting for Jesus today.
THREE STAGES OF PROCESSThe yellow brick road to God’s greater things is not a product of random circumstance. What I’m about to tell you goes against the grain of our fast food get-it-now generation. Are you ready for it? God is a God of process; strategic, specific progression.
Yes, there is a process He takes us through. We have to submit to it if we want Him to perfectly complete the process in our life. Those three stages are:
1. Egypt
2. The Wilderness
3. The Promised Land
The book of Exodus is a great starting place for you to understand this progression.
In Egypt, the Hebrews were slaves. What are you enslaved by? Finances, a loveless marriage, anger, addiction, poor health, a past you can’t shake, lies that continue to follow you, a job that robs your soul? When you’re in Egypt, you’re digging a great big hole for yourself. God is still with you and wants to deliver you, but you have to put the shovel down!
In the Wilderness, the Jews were free but they had to learn to trust in God for their provision and build a relationship with Him. They failed miserably. They feared they would starve to death so God provided manna every morning. They grumbled. They complained. They feared the unknown. Are you like the children of Israel? Do you long to go back to Egypt because it is familiar? Do you see the miracles God works in your life, but still doubt His power? Getting out of the Wilderness into the Promised Land takes faith and action. You have to step forward into God’s promises.
In the Promised Land, they trusted God and took the land He had set aside for them. They learned when you advance into new territory, you don’t fight for victory, you fight from victory. They no longer needed manna because they were ready to step into God’s promises and bear fruit of their own. Are you bearing fruit? Are you walking in God’s promises?
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO LOOK AT YOUR LIFE. WHERE ARE YOU – EGYPT, THE WILDERNESS OR THE PROMISED LAND? NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, TALK TO GOD AND ASK HIM FOR UPGRADE, THEN MOVE FORWARD!

JOIN THE FIGHT
I declare in the name of Jesus God is in my here and now. I declare His name to those in my sphere of influence. I proclaim the goodness of Jesus to the lost and rebellious. My eyes are open. This is my time!
JOIN THE FIGHTI love being the good guy. I really do. I like taking the Gospel to prison to people everyone wants to forget. I like freeing little girls from the horrors of sex trafficking and letting them know nobody is ever going to hurt them again.
No trash dump, slum or ghetto is too disgusting or ugly for me. Why? Because I carry the weapon of God’s goodness wherever I go, and I know that good overcomes evil.
We are not afraid of darkness because it is inferior to the light within us. At first, the work of light and goodness is always in the midst of a huge mess. But here’s the good news. That means Christ is in the midst of us!
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. – Matthew 18:20
And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none other; and my people shall never be ashamed. – Joel 2:27
For I, says the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. – Zechariah 2:5
So there Jesus is, in the midst of the mess called you and I. And there we go as His people into the ditches of this world with the mandate and the mission to change things.
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO GRASP YOUR MANDATE AND MISSION TO SPREAD GOODNESS ACROSS THIS WORLD. DON’T WAIT FOR A MISSION TRIP. GET DIRTY FOR GOD’S GOODNESS IN YOUR HOME, SCHOOL, WORKPLACE, NEIGHBORHOOD OR CITY.

OFF OF THE PAGES
I declare in the name of Jesus that chains are breaking off my mind. I will not think death, but life. I will not entertain despair only hope. I will not consider failure only faith in a God who is always victorious. I have the mind of Christ.
OFF OF THE PAGESThere is an arrogant, cerebral bunch among us who actually believe God is confined to their understanding of scripture. Not only is God not limited to our understanding of the words on the pages, He is not limited to scripture at all!
The scriptures even say that Jesus did all kinds of thing that are not even recorded in the Bible. The very last verse of arguably the greatest Gospel, John, says this:
And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen – John 21:25
In other words, God reserves the right to do tons of things not written down, recorded or mapped out! The Bible declares there are some things God speaks which He doesn’t allow to be written. They are for the hearer only.
And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” – Revelation 10:4
I would never advocate any form of departure from the Bible, so if I am pegging your cringe-meter, dial it down. I’m just saying you have permission to experience God in a personal, powerful way that is way beyond our limited understanding of scripture.
When the woman with the issue of blood crawled to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment, or when the knuckleheads tore apart a roof to lower their paralyzed friend down to for healing, they were not acting within the confines of what was written. Their actions, and their faith, were off the map!
They discovered a part of God’s heart no one had before. Like them, seek Him in a new and personal way and He will not only be found, He will lead you out of captivity. That’s Jeremiah 29:11-14 and a very good place to find Jesus!

FASCINATED BY BAD
I declare in Jesus’ name I am not impressed with evil. The devil is a liar. He is a destroyer. You, Lord, give life and liberty. I am not looking for the anti-Christ in this evil day. I am looking for Jesus. I will proclaim His name to the captives.
FASCINATED BY BADMy life as a pastor has taken me to some amazing places—the Great Pyramid in Egypt, the Trevi Fountain in Rome. I’ve cried out to Jesus at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, seen Stonehenge, the Taj Mahal, the Amazon and, yes, Graceland!
But a major player on my geographic bucket list was Mount St. Helens in Washington State. The wonder of my childhood, this once towering volcanic mountain is most notorious for its catastrophic eruption on May 18, 1980.
I was 13-years old when it erupted and it was a game-changer for me. That was the year I really started reading because I couldn’t get enough information about what had happened. The eruption was amazing, but that wasn’t the big deal for me. It was the landslide—the largest in recorded history where a mountain moved 17 miles and took 57 people with it.
Yes, I was attracted to the devastation and the death toll.
Our flesh is naturally attracted to “bad” and is fascinated by evil. There is something about us that is impressed with it. I’m no psychologist, but I suspect it has something to do with our survival instincts and how we want to understand the things we fear.
Whatever it is, it causes traffic in the northbound lane to slow down when there’s a wreck in the southbound lane. It causes ratings to skyrocket during disasters and scandals, and the tabloid racks to empty when a celebrity gets divorced or when a grandfather decides to become a female sex object.
What’s more amazing is that when we can’t get enough impressive bad things to look at, we invent new forms of evil to entertain us. We throw in a little sensuality and turn these monsters into romantic attractions. Face it—we love bad and it’s not a good thing.
“And do not be conformed to this world… Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.” -Romans 12:2, 9
It’s important to learn to no longer love what the world loves. We have to hold tight to goodness instead of evil. Knowing Jesus and following Him is simply this: love what God loves and hate what He hates.
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO RESIST GIVING EVIL A FOOTHOLD. WHAT FASCINATION WITH BAD CAN YOU GIVE TO THE LORD SO YOU CAN FIGHT EVIL WITH GOODNESS TODAY?

CHAIN BREAKER
I declare in Jesus’ name I was born to rescue Prisoners of War from behind enemy lines. Jesus died to break my chains. I will see victory when I do the same for others and point them to my Hero Jesus.
CHAIN BREAKERFew people have the compulsion to run into a burning building. Those who do, we call heroes. God is looking for heroes, because, let’s face it, this earth is a burning building and people are going to hell every day. Meanwhile, many in the Church cower in the shadows whining, “what if I get hurt?” They ignore the screams with excuses like, “I just don’t know any non-Christians” or pass the buck by saying, “there are missionaries for that.” We turn our backs on the mess that is this world and the fallen people in it.
But God isn’t afraid of this mess we’ve made for ourselves. Specifically, He’s not afraid of YOUR mess. He has already scaled the flames and saved you from chaos, destruction and death. Determine right now to run to Jesus with your messes instead of running away from Him in shame or fear.
When you no longer run from the Lord, but to Him with your mess, you eventually learn to not run from evil or the messes of this world. That’s where good overcomes evil and the church starts to take on hell with a water pistol!
Running into the train wrecks of this world also means running into the train wrecks of people. One of the church’s biggest mistakes has been to vilify the unsaved as wanton sinners who love darkness and hate light. This is not the truth! The Bible says God doesn’t want anyone to perish!
God sees the unsaved for what they are–prisoners of war. They are POWs in the cosmic battle of Good vs. Evil, Jesus vs. Satan, Heaven vs. hell. We don’t leave POWs to die in chains. We plan and execute a search and rescue mission to free them!
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO SET ASIDE FEAR AND EXCUSES. BE A HERO! SEARCH OUT A POW AND BEGIN YOUR PLAN TO FREE THEM FROM THE DEVIL’S CHAINS.

“IF” DOESN’T WORK
I declare in Jesus name that God is giving me blueprints of strategies for success in my area of lack. I receive them! I will walk in obedience to His plan. Only He leads me.
“IF” DOESN’T WORKYou would never go into a court room without a plan and a strategy for success, especially if your freedom, or your life, was on the line. Not having a plan is a messed up way to think.
In the same way, it’s messed up to think, “If this is of God, it will happen.” My question to you is this: who told you that?
Lots of times, Christians go into marriage, parenting, a career or ministry without a strategy or any kind of plan. They do this truly believing that “If it’s God’s will, I will succeed. If it’s not, I won’t.”
If this is you, you need a serious Soul Invasion to set you free from crazy way of thinking. First of all, God doesn’t say “if” He wants you to prosper you will. That’s crazy! God wants everyone to prosper. God hates for anyone to fail or fall.
The Lord does not delay, as though He were unable to act, and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you not wishing any to perish but for all to come to repentance. – 2 Peter 3:9
The truth is, nobody deals with more disappointment than God Almighty! There have been billions of people He has set up for success who were never able to grab hold of it. This breaks His heart!
It reminds me of the time Jesus stood on the Mount of Olives. Knowing the people there not only rejected Him, but the gift of salvation and blessings He offered, tears streamed down His face as He said:
“Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.” – Matthew 23:37
What He was saying is this: “I wanted to do such great things with you, and for you, but you just wouldn’t let me.”
The way it works is not“IF” God wants something to happen, it will. The rule is, if God wants it to happen AND YOU GET WITH HIS PROGRAM, it will happen. You don’t prosper and have success just because God wants you to but because you’re committed to the plan God has for you.
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO BE DILIGENT, DETERMINED AND DECISIVE. IT IS ALWAYS GOD’S WILL FOR YOU TO PROSPER. GET WITH HIS PROGRAM FOR YOUR LIFE AND STOP LEAVING YOUR FUTURE UP TO BLIND CHANCE!

WEDNESDAY WATCH? Is the Metaverse the Matrix or is it Babylon the Great?
Wednesday, June 8, 2022
Pastor Troy Brewer, OpenDoor Church, Burleson, TX
IS THE METAVERSE THE MATRIX?
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 – And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
LET’S START WITH SOME HEADLINES THAT MAY SOUND RIDICULOUS, BUT WE’RE GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW VERY REAL THEY ARE AND HOW YOU AND YOUR KIDS ARE IN DANGER OF BEING SWEPT AWAY…
“WOMAN SAYS SHE WAS VIRTUALLY GANG RAPED IN METAVERSE”
“DISTURBING REPORTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULTS IN THE METAVERSE: “IT’S A FREE SHOW”
“WOMAN SAYS SHE WAS VIRTUALLY RAPED IN THE METAVERSE WHILE OTHERS PASSED AROUND A BOTTLE OF VODKA”
LET’S LOOK DEEPER INTO THIS. HERE IS WHAT THE VICTIM OF THIS CYBER ATTACK OR VIRTUAL CRIME HAD TO SAY…
“One part of my brain was like WTF is happening, the other part was like this isn’t a real body, and another part was like, this is important research,” she said in the report. “It was surreal. It was a nightmare.”
IT’S TIME FOR A REALITY CHECK ON VIRTUAL REALITY AND THE META-VERSE
Meta: “Beyond” “Self-Centered”
Verse: Universe
A UNIVERSE ALL ABOUT ME
PROPHETIC TYPES, SHADOWS AND LAYERS.
WHILE THE BIBLICAL ACCOUNTS ARE HISTORY, THEY ARE ALSO RECORDED BECAUSE THEY MIRROR OUR LIFE TODAY AND APPLY TO THE HUMAN CONDITION NO MATTER WHAT AGE YOU LIVE IN.
WE ARE VERY CLEARLY IN THE LAST OF THE LAST DAYS, SO WHAT DOES the Bible SAY ABOUT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND THE METAVERSE?
The Tower of Babel
Genesis 11:1-9 – Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them . 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
JESUS CAME AND REDEEMED ALL THAT TRASH. HE TOOK BACK THE KEYS AND GAVE THEM TO YOU AND ME.
Acts 2:1-7 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place . 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
WHILE THERE ARE MANY LANGUAGES UPON THE EARTH, TECHNOLOGY, BUSINESS AND WORLD TRAVEL HAVE REDUCED THOSE LANGUAGES TO JUST A FEW. ENGLISH IS THE LANGUAGE OF BUSINESS. YOU CAN GO ALMOST ANYWHERE AND THEY SPEAK ENGLISH.
BUT THERE IS ANOTHER LANGUAGE THAT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD SPEAK AND NOBODY THINKS ABOUT IT.
I WOULD PROPOSE TO YOU THAT A NEW TOWER OF BABEL HAS BEEN BUILT AND IT IS, INDEED, REACHING TO THE SKY. THEY’VE EVEN MADE THEIR OWN CLOUD FOR IT.
THIS IS CODE. IT IS THE LANGUAGE OF COMPUTERS, THE CLOUD AND THE WORLD WIDE WEB. MILLIONS ARE BEING CAUGHT IN THIS WEB OF TECHNOLOGY. THE QUESTION IS, ARE YOU?
LEADING THE CHARGE IS FACEBOOK WHICH HAS OPENED A VIRTUAL WORLD CALLED THE METAVERSE FOR US ALL TO SHOP, TRAVEL, WORK, MEET WITH FRIENDS AND JUST LIFE LIFE CONNECTED TO ONE ANOTHER. LET’S SEE WHAT THE CREATOR OF THE METAVERSE, MARK ZUCKERBERG, HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS VIRTUAL WORLD… (VID META 1)
THE PROMISES OF SOCIAL MEDIA & NOW THE METAVERSE:
1. HUMAN CONNECTION & RELATIONSHIPS (VID META 2) BUT ARE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS REAL? WHAT HAPPENS ONCE YOU TAKE OFF THE GOGGLES AND YOU’RE IN AN EMPTY HOUSE?
2. ADVENTURE & EXPERIENCE
“The Metaverse would be the second-best thing to a teleportation device. Teleporting around the MetVerse will be like clicking on a link.” – Mark Zuckerberg, CEO META
What happens when you take off the Goggles and you’re not in Cancun but your apartment and real life?
3. KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION & WISDOM
4. PRODUCTIVITY, COLLABORATION & PROVISION
QUESTIONS WE NEED TO ASK:
Do we really need an imaginary world built and controlled by corporate tech giants?
Whose rules, parameters and agendas will be permitted?
Will it manipulate our perception of reality?
Will it be a democratic, open space?
Does it ensure privacy?
Does it ensure safety?
OCULUS GOGGLES (GRX OCULUS 1)
Octopus – tentacles
(GRX OCULUS 2) In architecture, an oculus is a round window most common at the top of a dome. The Greeks and Romans put them at the top of their domed temples to their false gods.
A PORTAL OR AN EYE INTO THE DEMONIC REALM!!
(GRX SEEING) Matthew 13:13 – Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
VIRTUAL REALITY VS. AUGMENTED REALITY
Sensory stimuli is enhanced, heightened and exaggerated to give an immersive experience. Impulses can be acted upon. Misinformation is even more convincing. Activities and behaviors are even more addictive. That means things not only feel real, they can feel much more intense – even indistinguishable from reality.EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS MADE IN THE BRAIN PASS TO THE BODY!
This is how the beta tester in the headlines above was able to feel like she was actually assaulted! Check out this video on how easy it is to control you mind so your body actually feels something that is not real: VID FAKE HAND FREAKOUT
THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND SLIPPERY SLOPE. (GRX CESSPOOL) READ THE LATEST DATA FROM A WATCHDOG GROUP CALLED “THE SUM OF US” WHICH CALLS THE METAVERSE “ANOTHER CESSPOOL OF TOXIC CONTENT.” THE LINK IS IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX BELOW.
Crimes Reported:
Children being exposed to graphic sexual contentGroomed for sex acts and to repeat racist slursAdopting extremist views from strangersSexual harassment, abuse –- a tool for predators to commit crimes online and get away with it.FACEBOOK / META HAS NO MEASURES IN PLACE FOR ACTUAL DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIORS. IN FACT, THEY WANT TO MAKE IT EASIER TO COMMIT CRIMES AGAINST KIDS (VID META 3)
IF PEOPLE COMMIT CRIMES ONLINE WITHOUT PUNISHMENT, WOULDN’T THAT ESCALATE CRIME IN THE REAL WORLD?ARE THE LINES TOO BLURRED FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN A VIRTUAL WORLD TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE?DANGEROUS & UNHEALTHY TOOL OF ESCAPISM—DARKENING MINDS AND MAKING AN EVEN GREATER MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.IS THE METAVERSE A TYPE AND SHADOW OF BABYLON THE GREAT?
WHILE WE KNOW THERE IS AN ACTUAL CITY THAT WILL FULFILL THIS ROLE, COULD THE WORLD WIDE WEB OF DECEIT ALSO BE A FULFILLMENT OF THIS PROPHECY?
Holograms cannot replace human relationships.
Avatars cannot replace family and friends.
Virtual spaces cannot replace your home, your favorite restaurant or going to grandma’s house.
SENSORY EXPERIENCES CANNOT REPLACE EMOTIONS – THOUGH THEY CAN CAUSE DEEP EMOTIONAL DAMAGE THROUGH ABUSE!!!
PRISON JUST LIKE THE WORLD OF THE MATRIX!
THIS IS NOT A GAME IF IT FEELS LIKE REALITY

GOODNESS CHANGES THE ATMOSPHERE
I declare in Jesus name the light of His glory is shining into my situation. When my eyes see chaos, my heart sees victory. I wait upon the Lord. He had promised me good things and He will not only deliver, He will multiply.
GOODNESS CHANGES THE ATMOSPHEREWhen you get good at setting the atmosphere, you begin to recognize sweet or sour atmospheres really quick.
It’s amazing to me where goodness will show up and it might surprise you, but goodness likes to turn up in a mess. It actually thrives in chaos! Why? Because goodness will always oppose evil and evil is overcome by goodness because goodness wants to advance.
Goodness doesn’t tolerate evil and evil slinks back into the hole it crawled out of when goodness shows up. Just like light is superior to darkness, goodness is far superior to evil. When goodness shows up and tears darkness apart, it tends to be messy.
And God saw light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. – Genesis 1:4
God loves to be in the addition and multiplication business. But when it comes to confronting darkness with light, He drops His supernatural math into the division business. God moves darkness out of the way and displaces it with the goodness of light. BOOM!
Consequently, there is a lot of confrontation with goodness showing up. There tends to be a lot of yelling and slanderous accusations thrown at goodness because division tends to be messy. Don’t back away just because it gets hard. Following Jesus is worth it.
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO CONFRONT DARKNESS WITH THE GOODNESS OF LIGHT. IT WILL BE MESSY, BUT IT WILL ALSO BE WORTH IT!

GOD THE GAME-CHANGER
I declare in Jesus’ name I am a kingdom advancer. I will not look back but will continue to move forward. I am a bulldozer moving the ground in front of me, breaking up hard hearts with the love of God so He can have a harvest from my life.
GOD THE GAME-CHANGERMost of us have heard of the 16 God names in the Old Testament, including Jehovah Jireh, the Lord is our Provider; or Jehovah Rapha, the Lord is our Healer. However, few have heard of Jehovah Nissi.
Jehovah Nissi, means the Lord is our Banner and the banner it’s referring to is the flag on a battlefield. If you want to win the battle for upgrade and momentum, you need to learn to call on Jehovah Nissi.
Jehovah Nissi is the game-changing side of the Lord. He is the momentum changer.
The Lord is our Banner speaks of a battlefield where suddenly, the momentum swings in your favor because the King’s banner has entered the fray. It means the King Himself is fighting the fight!
Everything changes when you can see Jesus on your battlefield. It is from that momentum that you pick up your sword, get off the ground and scream in the face of the enemy again – think Braveheart!
When it comes down to it, the forceful part of moving forward in the Kingdom is to be taken head-on – never from your flanks or behind. That means there’s no need to cover your butt because your armor is for living life forward. Read Ephesians chapter six and you’ll see the “full armor of God” covers everything but your backside.
Why? Because moving forward, upgrade, progression, momentum – they are not for people who turn their backs to see what’s behind them. You and I are not meant to be Lot’s wife, looking back in longing of what she was leaving behind. We are to be the warrior Bride of Christ – positioned to move forward and win the battle under the banner of the King!
Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty; the Lord, invincible in battle. – Psalms 24:7-8
