Introduction

Robert Henderson introduces a special broadcast from Cape Town, South Africa, where he taught on the court of heaven. He aims to share a portion of that teaching to instruct viewers on how to function in these spiritual realms and dimensions. Henderson believes this teaching will inspire faith and provide keys to personally step into the courts of heaven.

Personal Breakthrough and the Court of Heaven

Henderson shares his background as a prayer warrior since 1980 and how he and his wife surrendered to ministry. After 22 years of pastoring, he began traveling, but encountered significant resistance in ministry, family, and finances. Despite consistent prayer, he couldn't overcome these challenges. Invited to South Africa, he was introduced to the concept of bloodline cleansing.

Bloodline Cleansing and the Covenant with Parax

In South Africa, a ministry leader suggested cleansing Henderson's bloodline to remove any legal rights the enemy might exploit. During this process, a seer identified a covenant in his bloodline with a demon named Parax, whose chief characteristic was to "suck dry." This revelation provided understanding to Henderson about the source of his persistent struggles.

Repentance, Renouncement, and Transformation

Henderson recounts praying a simple prayer of repentance and renouncement to annul the covenant with Parax. He experienced an immediate shift in the spirit. Upon returning home, his adult children, who had been making poor life choices, suddenly desired to serve God and align with their destinies. This transformation occurred because the legal right the enemy used against Henderson also affected his bloodline.

Discovering the Courts of Heaven

Henderson began studying the courts of heaven, piecing together biblical understanding. He emphasizes that his approach is rooted in scripture. When invited back to South Africa, he taught on the courts of heaven, sharing his discoveries. The ministry leader acknowledged that Henderson was providing language for what they had been doing for 20 years without being able to articulate it.

Accessibility and Simplicity of the Courts of Heaven

Henderson emphasizes his gifting for simplifying complex spiritual concepts, making them accessible. He believes the courts of heaven should be accessible to everyone with childlike faith, not a complicated secret. He aims to empower people to confidently present their cases in the courts of heaven and receive breakthroughs.

Understanding Spiritual Dimensions

Henderson stresses the importance of understanding spiritual dimensions to grasp the court of heaven. He realized that the court of heaven is not a method of praying but a dimension of the spirit. He clarifies that one doesn't need special prophetic gifts to access this dimension; it can be entered by faith.

Daniel's Vision of the Court of Heaven

Henderson references Daniel 7:9-10, highlighting Daniel's vision of thrones being put in place, the Ancient of Days seated, and the court assembled with books opened. These books contain pre-planned destinies, as mentioned in Psalms 139:16 and Ephesians 2:10, which individuals are meant to fulfill.

Court of Heaven House of Prayer

Henderson encourages viewers to become part of the Court of Heaven House of Prayer by regularly sowing into the ministry. He explains that finances create spiritual connections, citing Abraham's connection with Melchizedek through tithing. Sowing into the ministry allows individuals to be part of a house of prayer that can shift cultures and situations, bringing blessings to themselves and future generations.

Fulfilling Your Book and Overcoming the Enemy's Legal Cases

Henderson explains that individuals will be judged on how much of their "book" (pre-planned destiny) they fulfill. The devil tries to prevent this by building legal cases against people. He references Luke 22:31, where Satan desired to sift Peter, but Jesus prayed for him. Jesus acted as a man filled with God, securing Peter's destiny, demonstrating that believers can access the same dimension to pray for themselves and their families.

Intercession for Adam in the Courts of Heaven

Henderson shares his experience of interceding for his son, Adam, who was struggling with depression. He felt led to bring Adam before the courts of heaven. He repented on Adam's behalf, which revoked the enemy's legal right to use Adam's sin against him. Henderson then had to repent for his own negative words about Adam, which had been used to build a case against him.

Prophesying Adam's Destiny and Rebuke of Depression

After repenting, Henderson was instructed to prophesy Adam's destiny. He recalled a prophetic word received at Adam's birth: "How beautiful upon the mountain is the feet of those that bring good news." He declared that Adam would walk in high places and preach the word to the masses. Finally, he rebuked the spirit of depression.

Conclusion and Invitation to Sow a Seed

Henderson concludes by encouraging viewers to sow a seed, agreeing with the case presented in the courts of heaven. He believes that money has a voice in the courts, testifying and allowing God to render verdicts. He prays that their offerings will release a testimony in the courts of heaven, causing God to remember them and grant their heart's desires, referencing Hannah's offering of Samuel in 1 Samuel.

0:11 [Music] Well, welcome to Friday Night Live. I'm Robert Henderson. It's so great to have all of you with us. Thank you guys for being a part of this broadcast. Now I have a very special thing that I want to uh do tonight. I want to present to you. I was just in South Africa. I was there for a few days. I was in a major conference uh and down in the Cape Town area where I was teaching on the court of heaven. They brought me there to teach on the court of heaven. So, what I want to do tonight on this Friday Night Live, usually I'm in the studio just

0:56 teaching you something, but I want to bring to you a teaching that I did, a portion of a teaching that I did while I was in South Africa. And so, I want and we're teaching, if you will, on the court of heaven, how to function there. They brought me there uh to to help instruct them and how to step into these realms and step into these dimensions. I know I listen I know this teaching will be a blessing to you uh and it will stir your faith. It will help you to believe and it probably going to give you some keys, some tips on how to function and step into the courts of heaven yourself even on a greater level. So here's what we're going to do. I'm going to let you watch this teaching and then I'm going

1:43 to be back at the end. Okay? So watch the teaching enjoying it. Enjoy it. This is from Cape Town, South Africa just recently. I know it's going to be a blessing to you. Lord bless. I know that's what happened in my life. I know that that literally we were facing situations and circumstances that we we couldn't get a breakthrough. I could not get a breakthrough. And I had prayed and I had prayed. I've always listen I've been a prayer warrior since 1980 when God when God got serious me I I've known since I was 12 that I was called to the ministry but in n but 1980 3 years after Mary and I got married the Lord got real

2:30 serious with me and he said to me the words he said to me the time is drawing nigh for you to do my work that's what he said to me when I was driving down the road and he entered my car unannounced See, everybody tells me, "Oh, God's a gentleman." No, he's not. God has a problem. He thinks he's God. And so, he entered my car unannounced. And though, those were the words. I heard those words so strong, they were almost audible. The time is drawing nigh for you to do my work. And the Lord really dealt with me from that point on in a very quick manner. and and Mary and I both surrendered and we said yes, we're going to do what God wants us to do. And so we moved away about 2 and

3:15 a half hours away from our family and and began to train for ministry and then you know one step after the other we ended up you know where we are today. I pastored planted churches and pastored for 22 years uh and then began to launch out and travel. Well, about the third year into my travel, things were fine. Things were going really good. But we at that point, we began to hit some real resistance and some real problems in ministry, in family, uh in finances. You pretty well name it. Everything but health. We we were we were very healthy still are. But but it was like everything else but health came under demonic attack. And now, see, I'd been praying at that time, you know, a long,

4:01 long time from 1980 until then. It was probably 25 years. I'd been a man of prayer. And I I mean, I'd get up every morning and I'd spend uh a significant time, an hour plus in prayer at least every day and seeking the face of God and going after God. And and I was I mean, I was serious about it. And I couldn't move this thing. It didn't matter what I did, I couldn't move it. It was it was it was um it was so strong and and and not only could I not move it, but it kept getting worse and worse. My attitude had always been if I can just push if I can just grit my teeth and push through this thing, whatever it was, then I'll get to the other side and we'll be able to move on. But what the

4:47 problem was before I could get to the other side, something else would pile on top and then something else would pile on top and something else would pile on top and and it was just a allout bombardment. And I didn't it didn't matter what I did or didn't do in prayer, nothing would move. Nothing would move. And everything was falling to pieces around us. Well, I got I'm just going to be I mean quite candid with you. I got invited to come to South Africa. And when I got to South Africa, uh the lady that was leading the ministry that they had invited me and they had invited me because we were we were all a part of the same thing, ICA,

5:33 which is at that time Dr. Wagner. Peter Wagner led it in um um coalition of apostolic leaders, international coalition of apostolic leaders and he was leading it and we were all a part and they'd heard me speak. Dr. Wagner had put me up in that situation and he let me speak to all these apostles from around the world and I look back on that and think, "Oh my gosh, he was a brave man." man. But anyway, um he he um they invited me to come to South Africa and I didn't know who these people were and so I went to Dr. Wagner and I said, "Hey, do you think it would be okay if I would take this invitation to go to South South Africa?" He said, "Yeah, yeah, go. You should go. You should go." He really encouraged me. Now, everything's falling

6:19 to pieces. Everything. So, I come to South Africa. When I get to South Africa, this lady says, "Now, Robert, before you speak at my conference, I want we want to cleanse your bloodline." And I looked at her and I said, "What's wrong with my bloodline?" I I I didn't know what she was talking about. She said, "We want to cleanse your bloodline." And I said, And when she said that to me, um um um she said, "No, you don't understand." She said, 'When you stand on my platform and speak at my conference, there's going to be people from all over Africa that are going to be here. And and this is what she said. If there's any legal right in you that the

7:07 enemy can find, he said from all those principalities and powers that are going to be here, from all the different people that'll be in Africa, he said those things are coming after you and your family. Now, God is my witness. Not trying to be funny. The first thought that went through my head when she said that was, "I've got American demons after me. I don't need African ones, too." That's the first thought that went through my head. And so I looked at her and said, "Please cleanse my bloodline." I didn't know what I was asking. Just please cleanse my bloodline. So they took me into a room about four different ladies and and and the main

7:54 lady wasn't even a part she wasn't even a part of it. They just took me into the room with these other other uh ladies and they had me pray a prayer like this. Lord, I open up my bloodline before you. I asked if there's any legal things in my bloodline that the enemy could use against me. Would you just expose them? Well, there was this little seer gift over here and I've told about her all over the world. this little seer gift over here that she says, "I see that Robert, somebody in Robert's bloodline made a covenant with a demon god named Parax." And she said, "And even the people that knew the woman said, "What?" And she said, "I see it." She said, "It's clear. Somebody in his bloodline made a a covenant with a demon named

8:39 Parax." And they said, "Spell it." and she said P A R A X. And so they Googled Parax. They pulled their computer out and Googled perax. And what came up was a de demonic god whose chief characteristic was to suck dry. And whenever they said that, it was like, you know, in the cartoons where a light bulb comes on over your head, like you have an epiphany or a a you suddenly understand. That's what happened to me. I mean, not really, but I mean, that's that's the way I picture it is that is that suddenly I understood. I thought I just knew. I thought, "Oh, I know what's happening. There's a covenant with this

9:26 demon thing in my bloodline that I know nothing about. And it that's giving it a legal right to destroy everything. To destroy children, to destroy marriage, to destroy finances, to destroy destiny, to destroy everything. That's why I can't get a breakthrough. This thing has a legal right. I mean, it just I just I just kind of intuitively knew all of this without being told that. And so they had me pray a really simple prayer that of of repentance and renouncement and and asking for the covenant with this thing that somebody in my bloodline had made um that it would be anulled and revoked and removed. And I'm I'm telling you

10:12 instantly instantly I sensed in the spirit something had instantly changed. But when I got home everything had changed. By the time I got back to the US, everything had changed. Including my children. Now watch this is the this is part of the most amazing thing. My children who had grown up in church. We had raised them in church. There was no double standard in our family. My children were all making stupid decisions. This is what I said. They were all of legal age. They weren't grown. They were of legal age. There's a diff there's a

10:58 difference. They they were four of them were adults by legal age. Two of them were still in high school. And they they are all making foolish decisions about their life and their future and doing stuff they shouldn't be doing and all this kind of thing. I never nagged him because I thought, you know everything. You know everything. you're supposed to know. There is nothing I can tell you that's going to make you, you know, change. And so when I got home, I mean, almost instantaneously, every one of them came and said, "Dad, we want to serve God. We want we want the destiny God has for us." And they all began to snap into perfect alignment with destiny and with

11:45 purpose. Every one of them. But why? Why was that? Because the legal right that the enemy was using to claim me and to come after me was the same legal right he was using against them as a part of the bloodline. Is that making sense to you? And the moment I dealt with this covenant, see this is what you need to understand. Covenants with demons in in your life or in your bloodline gives him the legal right to claim you and your lineage for generations to come. And so you have to know how to go into the courts of heaven and anol that covenant. And we saw instantaneous results and

12:32 everything began to come to right order. Now that really got my attention. Now here's what you need to understand. I began to study about the courts of heaven. I had no teaching on it whatsoever. I didn't know anything. I never heard anybody teach on it. In fact, I found out there wasn't a whole lot of teaching, if any, that was out there. And so, I began to study on the courts of heaven. And I began and and and and as someone in Switzerland later was to tell me, a prophet, he said, "Let me tell you, Robert, your main spiritual gift," he said, and I remember he said, "It's not going to seem exciting." He said your main spiritual gift is understanding because you're able to take this piece and connect it to this

13:18 piece and connect and you and he said that's understanding when you can piece things together. He said I listen to you. I want you. And I think how does he do that? He said because you have the spirit of understanding. You have a gift of understanding. and therefore and that really came into play when I began to to begin to to pray and search out the whole idea of the c court of heaven. I mean these all these different pieces began to come together from a biblical standpoint because one of the things that has set me apart from others that began to teach on the courts of heaven is I back everything up with scripture. Because if I can't back it up with the Bible, I'm not going to tell you about it.

14:03 Because I was taught when I was being raised up in ministry that the word of God is your authority. And so, so I began to piece all things together. Well, sure enough, the guys in South Africa wanted me to come back because they wanted me to just come back and teach some more. And um and so here's what I thought. Here's what I thought whenever they asked me, "What in the what in the world am I going to teach those people?" Because this is the way I saw them. They are my they are my spiritual superiors. They know stuff I don't know. Now, I'm thinking they they have teachings and all this on the courts of heaven, but I just decide, you know, I'm

14:49 just going to go back and for lack of of not knowing what else to do. And that was true. I'm just going to teach them on the court of heaven the things I've been seeing and and and the things that I've been dis, you know, discovering and discerning. I'm just going to teach them on the courts of heaven. So, I did. When I got there, I got up and I did a couple sessions in the courts of heaven. When I got through, the lady that led the ministry said, "Would you please come with me?" And I said, "Yes, ma'am." And so, we began to walk toward the green room. As we're walking down the path, she looks at me and she says, "You make me feel like a fool." And and I I mean, I remember thinking, "Well, I don't want to do

15:36 that." And she said, "But that's what she said. you make me feel like a fool. And I said, why? And then she said something that changed my life. She said, because you're giving us language for what we've been doing for 20 years, but couldn't explain. And that's when I knew, oh, this is something. This is something. This is and that's really one of my main giftings is to create language that takes these as Dr. Wagner would tell me he said you have some of the same giftings I have. You can take the complicated and you can make it simple. It's probably because I'm

16:22 simple. But that's my that's my passion. I want to take I want to take something that would seem so out of reach and make it attainable for us. And that's what I've tried to do with the courts of heaven. When I first started teaching it, people would say, "Oh, that's so complicated." But I just kept teaching and kept teaching. Now people say, "That's it." I said, "Yeah, it's not hard. It's not hard." I said, I said, "I think sometimes people make it hard." And here's why they make it hard. They want you to think they have knowledge that you could never have. And and and there were some things I was initially led to believe that I came really to the to the conclusion

17:08 that those things were right. Were not right. And here's why. If everybody in the body of Christ can't do it with simple childlike faith, it ain't God. It's not God. It's not Listen, it's not this big complicated thing that we that we have to we have to discover some hidden secret to be able to do it. I detest that. I detest that whole idea because because I think that the Lord came to make things access. He came to make himself accessible to us. That's why he left heaven and came to earth. So, so that's what I want to try to do

17:53 this weekend with with with Amanda and Carl and and others that'll I I want to try to bring this to the place where you can step into the courts of heaven with such faith and confidence and know that you can present a case there that will get you your breakthrough. Amen. So, like Amanda said, I've been doing this for about 15 years now. It's hard to believe, but I but that's my passion to see this happen. So, here's what I want to start with tonight. You say you haven't started yet. Here's what I want to start with. If you're going to understand the court of heaven, you're going to have to understand spiritual

18:38 dimensions. You're going to have to understand spiritual dimensions. Now, I had taught on the court of heaven for years, years until one day, I'm somewhere teaching on the court of heaven because it's all I did. Just court of heaven, court of heaven, court of heaven. And so, I was standing and I was teaching and I heard these words come out of my mouth. Anybody ever had anything like that happen? It's like it came from deep in my spirit and came out of my mouth before I realized actually what I was saying. And here's what I said. The court of heaven is not a method of praying. It's a dimension of the spirit. And when I made that statement, it was

19:24 like it took blinders off because everybody was trying to discover the method of the court of heaven and how to do ABC or one two three and and get this to happen and that to happen. And when I said look, it's not it's not a method of praying. It's a dimension of the spirit. I was actually in a very um highlevel apostolic church in California and the the pastor there, the apostle that leads it had had me come several years running and teach on the court of heaven. Well, after I'd already been there several years, I got up and I said in his church, "The court of heaven is not a method of praying. It's a dimension of the spirit." When I came off the platform, he looked at me and he

20:12 said, "I got it." That one statement had changed everything. So listen, when we talk about the court of heaven, we're talking about a dimension of the spirit. Now watch, somebody says, "Well, I can't do that. I'm not that prophetic." Well, number one, yes, you are. You just don't know it. That's the first thing you need to know. You're so much more prophetic than you think you are. Okay, maybe we'll have time to get into that. But the B but the other part is listen, all you got to do is use what you already have. You see, I got to be honest with you. When I first was introduced to the court of heaven, it was it was implied to me that I had to have a sear gift if

21:01 I was going to really be effective in the court of heaven. that I couldn't do it by myself. Now, that always bothered me because I know we need each other. I get that. I do understand that. And giftings are important for us to function and flow together. But I thought, "Wait a minute. You're telling me there's a realm here in God that I can't I can't function in without some other special person?" That bothered me. That bothered me because I thought I don't know what the answer is but but I don't think that's right and I still don't think it's right because I believe that we all by faith can enter a spiritual dimension called the court of

21:46 heaven and function there just doing things by faith. But you may say, "But I don't have that spiritual gift where I see or I hear or I have these great understandings in the unseen world." Well, listen. Number one, God will help you develop some of that. But you don't even need it. You can do everything I'm going to teach you. You can do it by faith. God honors faith. Listen, I have been around some of the most significant highlevel seer gifts you would imag you could possibly imagine. I get more breakthrough by faith than they do with their gifting

22:31 sometimes. Why? Because God honors faith. He honors simple faith that just takes him at his word and applies his word. So I step into the courts by faith and began to function there and just really in all honesty feel my way through it. I feel my way through it. You can too. I mean all of us have different giftings of the spirit. So the court of heaven is not a method of praying. It's a spiritual dimension. Let me show you Daniel 7 9-10. The greatest picture we have of the court of heaven, the clearest picture. It says, "I watched till thrones were put into place." Notice what Daniel says. He's

23:18 watching. What does that mean? He is looking into the unseen world. He is functioning as a natural man with a seeing gift. He is a seer. That's what it meant. So he said, "I watched." He's looking into the unseen realm. What was he? He said, "I saw that thrones were being put into place," plural. And we don't have time to get into that. But the ancient of days was seated. That's God the judge of all. His garment was white as snow. The hair of his head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame. Its wheel of burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him. A thousand thousands ministered to him. 10,000s time 10,000 stood before him. the court was seated

24:03 and the books were open. So Daniel's watching all this take place and he is watching the court of heaven come to order. Okay? So he's seeing the court come to order. Once the court is is in order and ready to hear cases, he says the books are open. Why? because successful cases in the court are presented out of the books that are in heaven. Uh Psalms Psalms one uh Psalms 139:16 says, "All my days yet unfashioned, all my substance yet unformed, they were written down in your book." In other words, before you existed in the earth, God pre-planned

24:49 your destiny. You can find the same thing in Ephesians 2:10 that we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus under good works that were prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. See every listen everything has already been planned for you and it was written down in the book. What are we here to do? We are here to fulfill what is in our book. Well, hello everyone. I want to come and I want to share with you and encourage you and urge you to become a part of court of heaven house of prayer. Now the way you become a part of court of heaven house of prayer is by sewing on a regular basis into this ministry because it is our finances that make connection in the spirit world. See

25:36 everybody thinks well finances is just what we pay for things with. No finances are spiritual in nature in the sense that they make connection. Abraham made connection with Melzdc when he gave him a tithe uh from the uh the the bounty from from the spoil that he had gotten out of war. And when Abraham did that, there was a connection. And the Bible says that as a result of that connection or alignment that Melzdc was then able to bless the one who had the promises. See, here's what you have to understand. We're all carrying promises from God, but we need to be empowered to come into those promises. Well, Melzdc had the right to bless Abraham because of the

26:22 the offering that he brought to him that made a connection that allowed Melzdc to speak and declare the blessing over Abraham to come fully into the promises that God had made for him. Now this is what we do whenever you sew into court of heaven house of prayer. You become a part of a house of prayer that number one can pray prayers on an entirely different level for you yourself and your family. But also you become a part of a family, a group, a house. That means that we're in covenant with each other that can actually pray prayers that begin to shift cultures, began to shift uh situations within cultures. And this is what God told us to do. He said we should seek this the peace of our

27:07 city or our culture because in his peace we will have peace. See when you become a part of co-op here's what you're doing. You're setting in motion blessings for yourself, for your children and your grandchildren and those that are after them. So Lord bless you. Become a part of co-op today. Everything has already been planned for you and it was written down in the book. What are we here to do? We are here to fulfill what is in our book. And did you know that when we stand and give an account before God, we're not going to be judged on this little sin or that little sin. We're going to be judged on how much of my book did I get done. But guess what? The devil doesn't

27:54 want you fulfilling your book. Why? Well, because he doesn't want me happy. He could care less whether you're happy or not. You know why he don't want your book fulfilled? Because if every one of us fulfill what's in our book, then the purpose of God is going to be done in the earth. So his way of frustrating the purpose of God and slowing down the process is to keep us out of what's written in our book. So he's going to try to frustrate that process for you. So what's he going to do? He's going to build legal cases against you. If you want to see an example of this, look in Luke 22:31 where Jesus says to Peter, Simon,

28:41 Simon, Satan has desired to have you that he would sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you that you that your faith would not fail. That word desired to have, that phrase, it's one word in the Greek and it literally means he's demanded you be put on trial. that Satan had an awareness of the strategic important part that Peter would play. So he had built a case against Peter to present in the courts of heaven. But Jesus said, "I went into those courts and I prayed for you." Watching your destiny is secured. You're going to go through a hard place, but guess what? Your destiny is going to be secure. You're going to get to the destiny God has for you. See, sometimes

29:28 you think, "Oh, well, if there's a verdict out of the court, then all my troubles are over." Not necessarily. See, Peter's destiny was secured. Satan's legal right against him was revoked by the prayers of Jesus. Now, somebody said, "Well, of course it was Jesus." Oh, but you got to understand, when Jesus walked the earth, he never did one thing as God. What? No. Just read your Bible. The Bible said in Philippians 2 that he laid aside his godhood and took upon himself the form of a man. You see, Jesus never did one thing as God. He did everything as a man filled with God. There's a huge difference. You see,

30:14 if he did it as God, you and I are out of luck. The supernatural is off limits. But if he did it as a man filled with God, then guess what? is now legal for you and I. And when Jesus prayed for Peter, he didn't do that as God. He hadn't yet been to the cross and resurrected and ascended. He did that as a man filled with God. So that letting us know we have the right to access that same dimension and pray for oursel, pray for our families, pray for our kids, pray for our grandkid, get breakthrough out of the court of heaven so that destinies can be fulfilled.

31:00 And that's what God wants us to do. The first time I've been into the courts many, many times, but the first time I went into the court was in behalf of my son, Adam. Adam had gone through a divorce. Didn't want it, but his wife didn't want to be in ministry. And Adam had made some mistakes and all those kind of things. He had been a very successful youth pastor up in the northwest corner of our of our nation. And he ended up back living in the same city, Colorado Springs, where we were living. And he was in absolute depression. He had been in depression for two plus years. And I had tried to talk him out of it. I had tried to pray him out of it. I tried

31:47 everything. Nothing would move it. It was only getting worse and worse. And so I would pray every morning for for Adam in my prayer time. Sometimes I would yell, sometimes I would scream, sometimes I would whisper, sometimes I would cry. Never really laughed, but I did about everything else. And what happened was as I was praying, as I as this this one morning, I got up, nothing special about it, nothing unusual. I just get up and I go to prayer. And the moment I go to prayer, the Lord says to me, "Bring Adam to my courts." Now, I thought, I don't know how to do that. I I I know about the courts now,

32:33 but I don't know how to do that. But I thought, if the Lord's telling me to do it, he's going to help me. And little did I know, he was about to be very, very, very clear with me. And so, here's what I did. I didn't I just thought, I don't really know where to start. So, I'll just do this. Lord, as I stand before your courts, I repent in Adam's behalf. Now, I did not know whether I could even do whether that was legal or not. I didn't even know if that was biblical. I just knew you had to start with repentance. That's all I knew. And Adam went there to do it. So, I thought, well, I'll do it myself. I'll do it for him. I I said I'll repent on his behalf. I was going to find later 1 John

33:20 5:16 that says if you see one sinning a sin not unto death, you will ask life and God will give them life. In other words, you can do stuff for other people. You become a part of his intercessory ministry where you are standing in behalf of someone else in the courts of heaven. And so that's what I was doing. Now watch this. When I repented for Adam, he wasn't forgiven of his sins. Why? Because only Adam can repent and get forgiven of his sins. What did my repentance do? It revoked the enemy's legal right to use his sin against him. That's what my intercession did. It revoked the enemy's right to use use his

34:07 sin against him. But Adam had to repent to get forgiveness for his sins. Is that making sense to you? Remember, we're dealing with things from a legal position. So, I'm standing in the courts by faith, not seeing angels, not seeing the throne, not seeing cloud of witnesses, not seeing anything. I'm just doing it completely. The only thing I'm seeing is a wall. That's it. So, I'm doing this by faith. And I said, "Lord, as I stand before you, I repent in behalf of Adam. I repent for failure as a father, failure as a husband, uh any anything else that I felt or sensed at that moment, I just repented for it in his

34:54 behalf." And and as I repented for it, I felt this shift take place that I'd not felt in over two years while I was praying for him. I just felt this shift. And so I did that. The moment I stopped repenting, instantly the Lord now said to me, "Now you repent." And I thought, "What have I done?" And he said, "You have spoken words to his mother about Adam, negative words." Which I had in my frustration. I said, "I don't know why he did that. He knew better than that dot dot dot dot dot whatever. And the Lord said the enemy

35:39 has taken your words and has said even his own father says this about him. Now I'm crying with tears because now I'm realizing I'm the I'm part of the problem. I'm not part of the solution. I'm part of the problem. And so I'm crying because my words have been used to build a case against Adam. And I began to repent for all the things I had said. I asked for the for the words to be enulled that I had spoken. That they would no longer be allowed to be used in the courts against Adam and that they would be dismissed as as as illegal, as unrighteous and and and not allowed to speak in that realm. And you

36:25 know what? I felt this took me maybe another five minutes just felt this tremendous shift. And as I'm so as I'm finishing that up, I mean, God was being so gracious because I knew nothing about how to do this. He said, "Now prophesy his destiny." Now, I had no idea that the Lord was actually leading me through a process that I have now taught over and over and over across the world that the first thing you have to do is dismiss the case that's against you, okay? Through your repentance and the blood speaking. But watch this. But then you've got to present a case in behalf of in a court. It's not good enough just to get a case dismissed. You need a case speaking for you. And so the Lord said to me, "Now

37:12 prophesy his destiny." Now on the day that Adam was born a few hours after he was born, we had him at home with a midwife. See, I some of y'all said, "Oh, y'all some of them kind of people." Yeah. The kind that had no money. That's the kind we were. So we couldn't afford a hospital and a doctor and all this. Had no insurance or anything of that nature. So yeah, we had them. We had Well, except for the first two, we had all the rest of them at home cuz once Mary had one at home, you couldn't get her back to the hospital. That's the That's the truth. So, and I'm not saying you should do that. I'm just saying that's what we did. So, we had Adam at home. And so, I remember and he they seem to always be

37:59 born in the middle of the night. Anyway, so we're all I'm sitting out, Mary's sleeping in our bedroom, you know, I would say midm morning. My mom and dad have gotten there. And I'm sitting in a rocker in a chair right outside our bedroom door, but the door is shut. And as I'm sitting there, suddenly, without warning, the Lord says to me, "How beautiful upon the mountain is the feet of those that bring good news." And I thought, "What is that?" I mean, it was so strong. Well, the next that was like maybe a Thursday, Sunday morning, we were at church because I was going to get those kids dedicated as quick as I could. So, Mary's up. She gets her clothes on. We get that. We get all the kids. He's number three. We get

38:45 him and the other two to church. And our pastor, Brother Walker, lifts him up. And the first words out of his mouth are, "How beautiful upon the mountaintops are the feet of those that bring good news." And I went to brother Walker afterwards. I said, "Why did you say that?" And he said, "Because that's what God says about him." And I'd always knew that that was Adam's destiny. So when God said prophesy is destiny, I begin to say, 'Lord, you said how beautiful up on the mountain are the feet of those that bring good news. I declare and I prophesy that Adam's feet will walk in high places and he will be an influential preacher of your word. And

39:31 he will declare your word to the masses from the mountaintops, from the very highest of places. And then I begin just to prophesy other things as I'm doing that. The Lord says to me instantly, "Now rebuke the spirit of depression." Well, I hope you enjoyed that teaching. Listen, the people there in South Africa were so hungry. They were so hungry and thirsty for this teaching and they just were exuberant every session that I was able to do uh there in South Africa. Uh and so and at the end what we did was they swed a seed. Why? Because one of the things we

40:17 do when we sew a seed uh is that we are agreeing with the case that we have presented in the courts of heaven. And in fact our money has a voice in the courts and it testifies in the courts and lets God render verdicts in our behalf. So, as you heard this teaching today, as your heart was stirred, I want to encourage you to sew your seed today on Friday Night Live and just believe God that even as we bring our offering and as we sew our offering tonight or today at whatever it may be for you, that when we sew our offering, it is going to release a testimony in the courts of heaven in our behalf and cause God to remember us, remember our family, and remember all that concerns us. Amen.

41:03 So, Father, we just want to bring our offering today. We just want to thank you for the words that we have heard. And we want to pray that even as we sew our seed in agreement with those words, that our offering is now speaking in the courts of heaven. That our offering is now speaking before you. And Lord, it's releasing a testimony that's allowing you to render judgments and verdicts for us and in behalf of us and all that concerns us. Let the breakthroughs come that we have been believing you for. And let our offerings be testimony that is speaking in your courts to see these breakthroughs take place. Thank you so much for it and the privilege that we

41:49 have been granted for this in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you guys for being a part of this broadcast and thank you for sewing your seed and may God render verdicts in your behalf even today. You know, I'm reminded I just suddenly came to me out of 1 Samuel chapter 1 when Hannah was before the Lord and she said she was giving her Samuel. Here's what here's what Eli said. May the Lord hear your request, hear your position uh petition and grant you the desire of your heart. Listen, I declare that to you. May the Lord hear your pet petition. May he hear your request and may he grant you the desire of your

42:34 heart. Even as as Hannah gave her Samuel, so even as we bring our offering, may God grant the desires and the longings of our heart in Jesus' name. Lord bless you.
