​Well, we are, I tell you, I was so excited about this teaching. I sent a text out to a lot of you guys on the streams. I was like, Man, I'm so excited. I want to teach it right now. This was so, so exciting. And I was sharing with some of you earlier this week, I was praying, and there's something I have felt, and I didn't see it yet. But the Lord kept saying, there there is a connection, that's very important for you to see. He's he's talking to me saying for you, me to see the the sons of his car and the mantle of Elijah. And I've been looking at it for weeks. Now I knew we were gonna have to teach on this here, right around this time frame. And so I was like, looking and looking and looking and I couldn't see it. And I couldn't see it. And I couldn't see it. And I just kept looking, well, then one day, not too long ago. I said, Lord, what is the connection between the mantle of Elijah and the sons of his car, and as quickly as I could get the words out of my mouth, the Lord has opened my eyes sounds like you have not because you ask not just ask. And the Lord begin to open my eyes and see some amazing things. So the fifth pillar of the Friends of Jesus and what we call in the air Nova family also this this fifth pillar, is what we have been teaching on is the mantle of Elijah, I believe, this is a critical, critical piece of what God is going to do in the final generations in the earth. That's why I believe this is very important. But as I was seeking the Lord God began to open my eyes to see the sons of his Sokar in their relationship to this mantle of Elijah. And I believe the truths that we learn from the sons of Issachar in Scripture, have a very important role in our understanding, but also not just our understanding, and our ability to receive the mantle of Elijah. So let's explore this together for a few minutes. And here's the things I'm just going to kind of give you a preview, what I believe are some fascinating things about the people of his Sokar. In our study, that we're going to explore is that they were people of extraordinary wisdom, discernment and revelation. And number two, they were people of valor and faithfulness. And I'm saying those go together. We don't often hear valor and faithfulness together. But I believe they go together when we see the manifestation of these qualities in their lives. They were people who imparted courage, and that courage means faith, right? Have you noticed how much more courage you have when you have faith. And sometimes it's even hard to have courage when you have faith, if you don't have full peace. So that's also important. And then they were especially this is the key, they were especially prepared or conditioned by God to receive the mantle of Elijah. And we'll look at this. Now on it. I mentioned this before, we're not studying it today. But I want to mention it here because you're going to see glimpses of it, spiritual inheritances are entered into often or heavily as spiritual families or tribes. Most of the time, yes, let me say this. Yes, there are individual inheritances. Absolutely. But if you notice, an inheritance when it's given, even though it's given through one person, it's giving to a family. Right? If you receive an inheritance, dug, let's say you receive an inheritance from your family. If you receive that inheritance, so does Jennifer. And so do your children in many ways, depending on how faithful you are with that inheritance. So if you receive an inheritance many times that inherit, or what we see is that inheritance is more than just individual. It's given. We see this in the Old Testament, we see this in the spiritual inheritances that are listed among the tribes. And we see this principle working in the New Testament also, on the other side of this, the opposite, if you will, judgment also has come this way. When Jesus talks about judgment of cities. Remember when he talks about I don't have the scriptures written down because we're not studying it today. But he'll say this said He will rise up in the judgment. This city will rise up and speak in the judgment against this city. Because judgment comes corporately, just as inheritances do a reward does. So, so both inheritances or rewards, if you will, and judgments come many times upon groups, not corporately, not just individuals, this is a hard concept for Americans to get, because our culture is so individualistic even from its founding. And this is very different than the culture of the Bible. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament were their corporate mindedness and their family mindedness was much more holistic around the family, not just individuals. So this is something to consider as we talk about spiritual inheritances, if you will, I'm going to read from First Chronicles 12, if you'd like to turn there, you can, if not, I'll read. I'm going to read sections of First Chronicles 12, but just want to draw your attention to something. And we'll start in the early 20s of the verses there. I want to just point something out. So we won't just read it through and through, I'm just going to point out some phrases in it. In First Chronicles 12. The chronicler begins to tell us about the army of David. And he tells us how many men there are, who are armed for war. And how many men if you will, men of valor, and this kind of thing, and what he's doing is identifying this army of Israel. But what's interesting in verse 24, he says, Of the sons of Judah bearing shield and spear, there were 6800, armed for war. Then he says in verse 25, of the sons of Simeon, mighty men of valor, see the difference. He identifies them differently mighty men of valor fit for war 7100 Of the sons of Levi 4600. And then he talks about the Arab knights who were 3700. Now, you know, we often think we're reading these numbers, by the way, have you ever just read through them and thought, why do I need to know all this? Well, this today is going to be an example of this in verse 29, sons of Benjamin, relatives of Saul 3000, and then he tells why the numbers kind of low sons of a frim 20,800, mighty men of valor. Are you guys getting the picture? It's like, okay, if you're wondering here, a fram has 20,800 mighty men of valor. Whereas when it talked about Levi 3600, we understand their priests, maybe they're not gonna be mighty men of valor, I don't know. But you get the picture. It says even concerning Ephraim, it goes on and says famous men throughout their father's house. He says, of the half tribe of Manasa 18,000, who were designated by name to come and make David King, verse 32, of the sons of Issa Carr, who had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do. Their chiefs were 200. And all their brethren were at their command. So that would make you think, well, there's no mighty men of valor. They didn't he didn't list them. Right. You would think, hold on to that thought. We're going to come back to it. Zebulon, there were 50,000, who went out to battle experts in war with all weapons of war. Stout hearted men, who could keep ranks NAFTA ly 1000, captains and with them 37,000 With shield and spear of the damn knights who could keep battle formation 28,600 Are you starting to get the picture? He tells the strengths of each tribe, some are mighty men of valor, some they're really good at keeping formation, you know, those of you that have been in the army, no man, if you can just keep formation, that's half of it right there. He says, of Asher those who could keep battle formation 40,000. Now what does that mean when it says they could keep battle formation. In other words, when the when the battle got intense, they didn't have radios back in those days, they couldn't communicate. The only way you could communicate in battle is to keep battle formation. The problem is Whenever the enemies come in hard at you to keep battle formation requires courage. physical courage, and so here we see they got to stay together so they can communicate with each other and the captains or the Chiefs can tell them what to do and they can actually respond. If they lose battle formation. They lose the war. But each one it's telling so these guys As you'll read on, and you'll see, some guys were great dead archers, and they were awesome archers and what have you the Reubenites and the Gadites and a half tribe of man Manasa from the other side of the Jordan, together, all of them together had 120,000. So this is fascinating the number of fighting men and then sometimes those listed sometimes those listed as men of valor are mentioned for each tribe, except is the car. So first Chronicles 12. In this is in first Chronicles 12. But if we look back just a few chapters, in First Chronicles seven, five not very long ago, it says that it's a car had more men of valor, than any other tribe. Now, I didn't say it that way. But it says it in the numbers, verse five says, Now their brethren, among all the families is a car. We're mighty men of valor, did you catch that? It says, every one of them were mighty men of valor. By the way, these are not accidents by the chronicler. They're very specific on the details of each tribe and their strengths. He says they're listed by their genealogies 87,000. In all, he says, every one of them's mighty men of valor, they are at 7000. So even though it's a car had more men of valor than any other tribe, we see in First Chronicles 12, this was not their primary strength, whenever the chroniclers go in, these are the main strengths of this tribe. These are the main strengths of this tribe. These are the main strengths of this tribe, he gets to the tribe of is a car in verse 32. And he tells us their main strength is of the sons of Issachar, who had an understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do. Their chiefs were 200. And all their brethren were at their command, all of them were at their command, and the chronic are just told us a few chapters ago, all of them are men of valor, every single one, but he doesn't mention it here, because he's mentioned in the strengths of each tribe. And he's and what does that what do we call that? When people understand times and they know what to do we call that wisdom, don't we? Or in spiritual terms, we also call it revelation. So he, he didn't just identify a few people. Now this is something else. That's fascinating. Many times in the Scripture, if there's someone who has special wisdom or revelation, you'll even see this with the chronicler he'll say, and they had 200. They like he said, Here, they had 200 chiefs, or he'll come back. And there's other specifics, he'll say, there were there were 23 captains, and they, you know, I can't remember the exact number, but he specifically identifies the strengths. But in this case, watch what happens. Two things happen. In First Chronicles seven, he identifies all of them as men of valor. And first Chronicles 12. He identifies all of them as people with understanding who knew what Israel ought to do, not a certain number, you getting the picture? So something different about so car, something in their tribe was was in their spiritual DNA, if you will, this redemptive calling and how they fulfilled it in their lives. They were like, Okay, if I have five kids, it's not going to be three of them that get it get to impartation, it's going to be five. You see what I'm saying? What's happening. They were really good at imparting what God had given them. So much so that the chronicler specifically says they were all men of valor, the men were but which makes you think the women were too. And he says, They all had an understanding of the times to know what Israel to do. That's what he implies, through the language he uses in the Scripture. Now we see a tribe of people who are extremely obedient and proficient and skilled at imparting to the next generations. Now this, I like this, when I read this, this excites me. Because what I see is that we have a family here, if you will, that started out with this man. It's a car and he's like, Oh, no, we're not about doing this halfway, three quarters of a way. If you're contending for your children, you're contending for all of them. That's the spirit that was on his car, not half of them and their spouses when they were married. I mean, we started praying for our kids, spouse, as long as we start praying for kids spouses before all the kids were here, praying for the kids and the spouse There's this, there's this whole heartedness toward the Lord that we see in the tribe of is a car. That was a no holds barred all in completely dedicated, nothing left behind. Absolutely everything is invested in our pursuit of God and His call upon this family upon this tribe, are you starting to like his car? Man, I'm like God make us this way. We have felt for many years, that this, that we had a kinship in the spirit with the tribe of Iscar in there in this spiritual family, and in many that we connect with, and have a kindred spirit with. And now I'm starting to see why. Because I see this and I love it. I'm like God, give us this kind of soul. Doubtless, we pray for this spiritual DNA, that we can live this way in our relationship with God, we will not settle for the enemy, getting anyone in our generations, in our physical generations, or in our spiritual generations. There is a spiritual tenacity that you and I cannot fabricate. I do a whole teaching on passive fathers and active fathers. And one of the things that you will see about fathers who are proactive, and I'm talking about spiritually, which bleeds over into everything else is there is an intimacy with the Holy Spirit and a movement of God in their lives. That will not let passivity have an ounce or a little place in the corner of their hearts or in their household. The flesh will fill your house with passivity. The flesh will fill your house with passivity and you won't have the energy to Father, you won't have the energy to mother, because the flesh will cause you to be lazy. You tracking with me? You guys know that's the way he that's the way he is. I'll just call him me. That's the way the flesh is. You got to crucify the flesh. And whenever God comes on the scene, it's like, you know, David probably did not go down there and intend to say a word when he saw Goliath. But the Spirit of God rose up in him. You see, it's God's fault. Because he was with God so much. The Lord is like, oh, no, Whoa, no, you ever feel that? You can feel it? Right? You know, you get into a situation. And the enemy is trying to take over somewhere or do something, whether it be your family, whether it be wherever you work, whether it be your nation, whether whatever it is, in the spirit of God rises up in you. Like he rose up into David and says, Oh, who is this uncircumcised Philistine? Like David probably goes, What? What did I just do? You know? Because David was not the author of that proactivity. David was not the author of that passion. He was not the author of that tenacity. He was not the author of all that energy that came up out of him. And he probably looked in the mirror and didn't have a mirror, but he probably learned goes, What am I doing? Because the spirit of gods like, whoa, know, when the Spirit of God rises up in you, for your marriage, for your children, for your spiritual family, for the ministry, for the nations, for the nation, for whatever he rises up in you, do not put a lid on it. Don't put a lid on it. Let him cry out, through you. Let him speak up and say, Whoa, no, that's not going to happen. Let the Spirit of God this is the proactivity the energy we need in our lives. I'm not saying you don't need more discipline, but I found God's a whole lot better at it than I am at producing it in my life. God will put it there. He'll put boldness and courage in you you didn't know you have, and you'll speak like David, you'll rise up. And before you know it, you're standing before a giant, Goliath, and you will take him out. Just like you took out that lion, just like you took out that bear whenever they tried to hurt your sheep. Let the Spirit of God loose in your life. Don't hold him back. That's not you and me. Because listen, as fathers I'll tell you I teach the menace. You can't be proactive enough and passive fathering comes from life in the flesh. The enemy will invade your house if you let him but he doesn't come and knock on your door and say, oh, you know, listen, I'm here to take over your house. What he does is he dangles the bait. The bait of the devil temptation there stat, the other, the other things that aren't as important as your family are, they're not all even sin. They're just sin because he didn't call you to do them at that time. Some of them are sin, but you see what I'm saying? So we see here that these qualities in IndyCar are what I call a spiritual DNA, they map out what their relationship and the graphic of what their relationship was with God, not as individuals, but as a tribe. Now, these qualities also manifest earlier in his car. In the days of Deborah and Barrick in the days of the judges. I'm going to read judges 515, this is in the song of Deborah, verse number 515, she says, and the princes of his car, were with Deborah, as is a car. So was Burke may say that again? As is a car. So was Burke, sent into the valley under his command among the divisions of rumen. There were great resolves of heart, you get in the picture here. In other words, where these people showed up, you expect the leader to have the courage and, and let me I'm getting ahead of myself, let me say it we'll talk about the princess first, the princess of Instacart, discern the importance of the day, the time and the battle in the hour of Deborah and Beric. This is why it says the princess of Instacart were with Deborah, they supported the word of the Lord, because they understood the will of God. They knew what Israel ought to do. Going back to Chronicles. They knew when Deborah spoke, they knew the word she spoke, we're not Deborah's words, they were the word of the Lord. And the word of the Lord rises up in his car. And when it says, The Princess with were with her, the leaders of this akar said, this is the word of the Lord, and we are with the word of the Lord. And therefore we are with Deborah. If you remember, Barrick was struggling with courage to do the right thing in judges for eight, remember, and he was so scared that he told Deborah he wouldn't go unless she went in the language and judges 515 indicates that is a car important and parted courage and leadership to Barrick. So normally, we would say let me get pull up the scripture here. Normally, we would say, as Berek. So was this a car? Or let me you with me. So in other words, in the time of David, we would say, as David, so was the mighty men of David. In other words, the mighty men of David's hearts, were tuned to the courage of David, they were tuned to the love of David, the heart of David. In this case, it was backwards. In this case, as is a car. So it was Beric. He was the leader in that situation. But the prince was stood with Deborah, because she spoke the word of the Lord. And the courage was imparted up the chain instead of down the chain. From is a car to Barrick. And so there was tremendous valor and faithfulness and that faithfulness was not so much to barrack and Deborah, as it was to God. Don't just remember this, when people have allegiance to you, and they're faithful to you remember this, the people of God, they're usually being faithful to Jesus. Don't mistake the allegiance and loyalty to Jesus will manifest in you as a spiritual leader. You see what I'm saying? Some leaders get that confused. They forget. They're like, Wait a minute. This is not about you or me. This is about their faithfulness and allegiance to Jesus. This is why it wasn't in its Akash time their allegiance was to the Word of God. And it was manifested in it's a car it was manifested in Deborah. And then it was manifested in Barrick. So the people have it it's a card demonstrate this extraordinary discernment and leadership. Discernment. Let me say this leadership because we see the princess, or you see that, in other words, it's the leaders recognize it. So it was a function of leadership and with Deborah, it was their wisdom and discernment. So we see the manifestation of this in their leadership. We see the manifestation of it in their discernment in their revelation and the wisdom that God had given them. extraordinary valor and faithfulness. Here they are, they go together. or they go together to go up against the Canaanites. When many including barrack were afraid there was a lot of people in that day who were afraid. And they had good reason to be in the flesh and the natural they had good reason to be. It's not some of you guys know. You ever been in in battle? Some of us have with a leader who is afraid. I have. I've seen him quivering. And I'll tell you, it makes other people scared. But there's something I've noticed courage is contagious. I remember one time, we were under heavy attack, 155 artillery rounds are coming in on these rockets and the walls are shaken and everybody's waiting for one guy's arm had just been blown off. And I remember people were scared. And I thought these people need courage. And I'm not saying this to glorify myself, because it's not my courage. It's the Lord's. And I literally just took my helmet off. I literally just, I pulled my helmet off, and I put it under my arm. And I spoke a word of faith to the people around me. And you could see courage enter their hearts in that very moment. Is that a stupid thing to do? Yeah, it's probably pretty dumb. Considering I just saw a guy have his whole arm blown, offered most of his arm, his forearm, blown off from the shrapnel from it. But at that moment, they needed courage more than they needed my helmet. Do you see what I'm saying? They needed courage. They needed faith. Because when people have faith and courage, they act differently, and it's contagious. And what we see here is that this courage, this valor, this faithfulness, it comes from God. I'm not saying all courage does, maybe it does. I don't know. But I'm saying here in our lives as believers, courage comes from God. And we see this in Barrick. And so Barry imparted courage to an entire surrounding army, if you will. And they imparted courage to the leadership and this is important. Now, the fact that it's the car had 87,000 men of valor, during the time of David did not happen by coincidence, are you track and you don't raise 87,000 People of Valor, by accident, you don't raise people of courage by accident. I mean, maybe a few here and there, but not at 7000 experiences, like the one during the time of Deborah and Barry have an enormous impact on generations. When you're impacting that one kid and your family, those two kids in your family, those three kids or whatever it is, you are not impacting one, two or three kids, you are impacting generations, because what gets imparted to them gets imparted to their children, unless somebody changes that. You see it multiplies out. And the same is true with disobedience and judgment. Whenever disobedience occurs, if we don't deal with it, like we're talking about earlier, it gets replicated and multiplied, replicated and multiplied. We see this all throughout Scripture, you don't need me to give you examples today. This is why victory. I'm gonna say this total victory in our lives is so important now. And I believe God is calling us to have this spirit like the tribe of his car and say, We will not settle for 97% victory. I'm going to declare this over my family and my spiritual family right now. We will not settle for 99.5% victory. Now I understand what I said earlier with repentance, you're always sweeping the floor and as soon as you get done, you look what where that dirt come from. And you have to sweep it again. But in the name of Jesus, we will have the tenacity and the obedience and the thoroughness of the calling of faithfulness to God of his car. We will not be 99.9% obedient. I'm saying Lord, make us 1,000% committed 1,000%, faithful, 1,000% obedient, 1,000%, repentant, 1,000%, broken hearted about the things that break your heart, Lord, this is what our call is, let the spirit of his car come upon your family. Let us be a tribe of his car. I have felt this calling for many years. And I believe for our spiritual family and connections and ecosystem and networks in our natural families. I believe this is a calling God's calling us to and he's challenging us to it if we can receive it. And I'll tell you that for the first few years of my walk with the Lord, I just believe that you're only going to get So much victory. And until I began to receive the ministry of Lester Summerall many years ago, you can look him up. He's all over YouTube. And boy, I tell you, he doesn't mince any words. He does not mince words. But that dude believed in victory. He said you he believes you can have victory in every area of your life. In every area of your family, you can contend for God's best, no matter how much failure you've had, no matter how many problems you've had, no matter what your upbringing was, in his upbringing was pretty rough. You can believe God, and you can have 100% victory and something got imparted to me in his ministry, that changed me forever. Because I realized we can live this way. I didn't see the connection to this ecard until many years later. But I said, God, this is from the Lord. Now, as we look deeper into God's choice, for who would faithfully receive, walk in and impart the mantle of Elijah, we discover something profound. Watch out. When God decided who would receive and carry the mantle of Elijah, he chose a son of his a car. Are you with me? A Alicia was a son of his car. A Elisha was from the tribe of his Sokar. Now we see what's going on. God's like, okay, if I'm going to impart something that needs to go all the way through 1000s of years, Malikai prophesied into the time of Jesus, Jesus prophesized to the end of the age, then I'm going to pick someone and not just an individual, but a family to carry it, who has been faithful to carry it. He's he's giving this mantle of Elijah, to a son of his car. Alicia, I'm reading again for scripture, you know, that we read before first Kings 19. I'm starting in verse 15. And the Lord said to Elijah, go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. And when you arrive, anoint Hazel is king over Syria. Also you shall anoint Jehu, the son of Namshi, as king over Israel, and here we go. And Elijah, the son of che fat. He does something interesting here and tells you where he's from. He says Abel, Ma, hola. Shut up. He says, You shall anoint Alicia, the son of che fat of Abel, my Hola. You shall anoint as Prophet in your place. Now the Scripture never says what tribe Elijah is from. So you say how do I know he's from it's the car scholars are unified in their belief that he's from the tribe of is a car, because a Bulma hola was in is a car in Israel. So each, you know, each region in Israel was tribal, and it had boundaries for that tribe. And Abel Nichola was of the tribe of his Sokar, everyone who lived there was in the tribe of his Sokar. And that's how we know Alicia was a son of his Sokar. I believe there's an extraordinary spiritual lesson here, about our preparation to be recipients, carriers, and in partners of the mantle of Elijah. Look at the sons of his car, look at their spiritual DNA, look at how they lived. Look at who they were, can we say, Lord, we will be a people with kindred spirit, like the tribe of is a car, I want that I want that fullness of obedience and pressing into God. Elijah demonstrates the same discernment and wisdom and wholeheartedness as the other sons of his car in the times of the judges designee, we see that we've studied it, he responds immediately to the call of God. So first of all, God's got to find someone who will do that. Because a lot of times, people didn't respond immediately. may ask you if God calls you to something major, did you respond immediately? A lot of us don't. There is a heartbreaking number of people who miss the doorways into their finest hours and into their greatest callings. Because they do not discern when God has placed an Elijah at their doorstep. A key spiritual father, a key spiritual mother. God gives us the hearts of the tribe a Visa card the sons and daughters of his car. So so that we will discern the times we live like Lucy was speaking earlier that we are in a timeframe a window of opportunity, a doorway of what God is doing in intercession in the nations. Do you guys know there are many of these doorways, but if we do not discern them, or if we look with the eyes of the flesh, we will see something much smaller than that which is before us. Give us the discernment of a cigar that we can see, but the hearts of his Sokar because discernment is not enough. Let me hear an amen revelations not enough. It's not enough just to see it. We have to be moved by at the heart level, which means we have to be ushered into the reality of that revelation. And Alicia was ready. Now, I want to say this, Alicia demonstrates the same valor and the same faithfulness. And I remember I said those go together as the other sons of Issachar. In the time of the judges, by this sold out, never leave you commitment. And someone might say, wait a minute, what? What are you talking about valor? Where's Elijah's valor? What's the, I mean? Yeah, he was faithful. But where's the valor? Put yourself in his shoes. We often overlook this valor and courage of Alicia. The most wanted man in the kingdom are you tracking who's the most one and man who's the number one FBI most wanted in Israel during this time, whose poster is everywhere? A lie. She has had he he had the highest bounty on his head of any man in the kingdom of Israel. And he comes by your house. And he says, Follow me. Now, first of all, you may not know this. But Elijah comes from a wealthy family. And most scholars agree on this. Because of how many oxen he had the fact that there are people with a lot of land a lot of oxen they were to do well to do. So you're willing to do, your family's pretty well off, you've got quite a bit of money. And you're out there and you're working hard. And along comes the most wanted man who's poster is everywhere and has the highest bounty on his life. And he tells you follow Him. Do you see what's happening? He knew he hits you can't do that without spiritual discernment. And you can't do that without a total sold out in us to God. And that total sold out and as to God manifested itself because we looked at it several weeks ago, whenever every place he went, he stuck with Elijah all the way to the very end. He wasn't just with him. He was with Him every moment. He's like, I'm with you. In every town. He goes, Oh, you stay here? Nope, I'm going with you. Then it goes to the next town. He's like, Ah, you stay here. He's like, No, I'm going with you. And then he goes to the next town. Do you see the difference? Some of us will be faithful in a relationship as long as that relationship wants us or not wants us but speaks to us, or affirms us. But what do you do when he doesn't affirm you? But you know, you're called you just like, he's just like, No, I'm with you. I'm with you all the way you could die there after me to kill me. I'm with you. All the way. This was the tenacity of the sons of his car, in the judges. And it's the tenacity of them. And they were all men of valor. They were all this people of our valor. So God is looking for people of his Sokar. sons and daughters, whose hearts and lives are ready to three things receive the mantle of Elijah, carry the mantle of Elijah, and impart the mantle of Elijah, to walk with spiritual fathers and mothers. This is how we become spiritual fathers and mothers. And then that means to walk with spiritual sons and daughters. And to become more interested in the success of future generations. Here's that legacy paradigm, then we are our own success. God is looking for people who will become the spiritual fathers and mothers in partying and replicating, reproducing spiritual fathers and mothers and walk with Him. Lucky Elijah and Elijah, like the apostles and prophets, and sacrifice, everything to pursue his kingdom. God make us like the sons of his car. God make us like the tribe of his car. God make us like the people of his car. These qualities they had, condition them, think of it this way. The soil was ready for the seed. If the seed is the mantle of Elijah, God goes I know the soil to put this mantle into and it will be carried it will be multiplied, it will be imparted, and it will soon cover the earth. Wow. Oh man, I love this tribe. I love their faithfulness. I love their faithfulness to God. That's how you have courage is by being faithful. If you ever noticed faithful people have courage, because their courage is not rooted in them. It's rooted in their faithfulness to someone else. I remember watching a movie many years ago, and these guys came off the battlefield. And they were taught and this was back in the medieval times. And they they were talking about courage. And they said, Where have you seen the greatest courage, and they were talking about the greatest courage. And they agreed that the greatest courage they ever saw on the battlefield, was a father or a mother. Because they said on the battlefield, a father and mother will step in front of the sword, and gladly take it, to protect their children, because of their love and their faithfulness to those children. See what faithfulness does love does, it is profound. And his Sokar demonstrates this. And we've been teaching on how God's calling us to be a people of the mantle of Elijah. But it's not enough to say the mantle of Elijah, we have to see that the hearts of this people, the hearts of our families, natural and the hearts of our family, spiritual and the hearts of our spiritual families that we connect with that we're kindred with, must become people of is a car. Because when we do, you won't have any problem carrying this mantle. Let's pray. Lord, we just want to thank you, that you're making us like this people, thank you for the inspiration of a people who know how to receive an inheritance as a people and not as individuals. Thank you for people who are faithful to impart so that they didn't just have 10,000 men of valor or 20,000. It says everyone everyone was they didn't just have a few people who had discernment and knew what Israel ought to do. They all had discernment, because they realize that this is bigger than any one man or woman. And so they imparted it, the legacy paradigm was saturated in the tribe of his car. And so we pray, Lord, come and make our hearts like these men and women, we pray that you will work the ground of our hearts to be like the people of his Sokar the spiritual DNA of people who have discernment, wisdom and revelation and a sold out pneus of faithfulness of Valor, and a legacy paradigm operating in them because there's an anointing and presence of the Holy Spirit that cannot be fabricated by anyone, but can only be received and given. And we want to live like this. We want to be this people. We want to be faithful in all of God's house, in Jesus name. Amen. And a man. Thank you for joining us today.
