Do you hear it? Do you hear it? Do you hear the voice of love calling you back to Him? Do you hear it? Do you hear the voice of love calling you back to Him? Do you hear it? The voice of compassion, the voice of love, the voice of goodness, the voice of grace. He's knocking. He's calling. He's drawing. He's loving. He's in this room. He's filling this space. He's coming to your seat. He's moving in your life. He's calling you by name. He knows where you are. He sees what's happening in your life. He has designed this moment for you to hear His love drawing you back to Him. May you respond because today is a day to return to the Lord, to respond to His goodness and His grace, to repent and change the way we think and the way that we live and receive all of the kingdom that is available in the here and now. Love changes everything. And in this moment, you are loved. You are loved. And so, once again, welcome to Valley Creek. Welcome to day three of RE. We are so glad that you are here. God has been moving. He's in this space. RE, those two little letters that change everything. They simply mean to go back or to do again. And we believe that Jesus can RE anything. The cross of Jesus is RE. Anything and everything is possible at the cross of Jesus. And on day one, we wrestled through the grace of God. And we had these moments and these experiences together as a church, where God brought tremendous forgiveness and healing in people's lives and unearthed roots of bitterness and offense and created space for Him to fill. Because on day two, it was all about the presence of God. And God moved and He came and He filled that empty space 'cause we made room for Him with His presence and with His Spirit. And today is day three, all about the kingdom of God. Today's the day of growth. Today is the day of breakthrough. Today is the day of freedom. Today is the day of heaven on earth in the midst of our lives. And so, we've started this year as a church by just saying we're hungry and thirsty for God. So, we're creating space, and we're doing one-hour experiences to meet with God. And we're gathering as the church to pray and call out and cry out and lift up the name of Jesus and say before '26 even starts, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. And I believe you're here today because God wants to RE something in your life.


In fact, I want you to just look at this slide with me for a moment. And I just want you to think about what's one word, one RE word that the Holy Spirit wants to highlight to you. But what's one RE word? Don't overthink it. It doesn't have to be on this list. What's a RE word? One RE concept, one RE thought, one RE reality that God wants to do in your life. Don't overthink it. Just whichever one you're drawn to, whichever one the Holy Spirit speaks to you. Can you grab it? Okay, you got one. You got one. You got one. Okay. Here's what I'm going to invite you to do. For the next few moments, I'm going to invite you to turn to a few people around you, and I'm going to invite you to say, "Here is the RE word I feel like the Holy Spirit just shared with me. Would you please pray this word into my life?" So, I might look at you and say, "My word is revive. Would you please, please pray that into my life?" And for the next few moments, this person with the measure of faith that they have, not the measure of faith you don't have, just pray that word into their life. If you're like, "I don't have a lot of faith, and I don't know what to do." Then, maybe you just say, "In the name of Jesus, may you be revived." You can do that. You can, by faith, say just, "In the name of Jesus, may you be revived." My word is refresh. And then, this person may have a measure of faith where they just start praying, "Jesus, would You refresh them in your name? Would You bring springs of living water? Would You wash them from the innermost to the outermost? Would You bring energy and vibrancy and life into their soul, into their spirit?" See, here's what this is. This is an act of faith. This is an act of faith to say, "I am not just a spectator in the kingdom of God. No, I'm a participant in the kingdom of God." And Jesus, the spirit of the Lord, like Eric just showed us, is on Him, and He's in this room, and He wants to RE something in your life, but He won't make you take RE He won't force a reviving or a refreshing or a resetting or a refocusing on your life. He's waiting for you to say, "Yes, I take it, in Jesus' name, and I receive it." So, whatever campus you're at for the next few moments, just find two or three people around you. You can do it in groups. You can do it one-on-one. Whatever it is, just turn. And maybe if you don't know them, introduce yourself. My name is, and my word is. And then, let those people pray for you to the measure of faith you have. Come on. Whatever campus you're at, turn to some people around you. Take a hold of that reword and let the Spirit work, in Jesus' name. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. We receive it, Lord. We receive refreshment. We receive re-energizing. We receive a release of new things. We receive You realigning. We receive a rebirth. We receive resurrection. We receive the RE that You offer us. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. In Jesus' name, RE. In Jesus' name, RE. In Jesus' name, RE. In Jesus' name, RE. RE. May you, by faith, take a hold of that because God is here and God is good. And He wants to RE some things in your life, so let Him. Let Him in with His goodness and His grace and His compassion. Wherever you are, why don't you go ahead and just grab a seat with me for a moment?


You see, I think this is incredibly important. It's incredibly important to activate our faith because the Bible tells us that God is pleased with our faith and He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. So, as simple as it is to have a humility to say, "I need Jesus to RE something in my life." And the Holy Spirit is showing me this word. I might not even know what it means, but by faith, I will speak it out. I will confess it. I may repent of it. And I'm going to share it with maybe a personal friend, a family member, or a complete stranger, but who is also a brother or sister in the kingdom of God. And I may be by faith, just speak it out. And by humility, I am going to let someone else pray and speak over my life because God answers His people's prayers. So, I'm going to believe that even if it was one sentence in Jesus' name, may I be revived. That in Jesus name I'm starting to be revived. That RE is starting in this moment because of humility, because I want His kingdom to come and His will to be done. And as we've prayed over these couple days, there's three RE words that I feel like really have just been echoing in our heart and echoing in our mind. And we just want to prophesy and declare those over some of you. And so, if this is for you, you grab a hold of it. This doesn't have to displace the word you just said. I just think one of the words I feel so strongly from the Lord is, is the word restore. I think some of you are in this room and in this last season, Satan has come and he has stolen and he has killed and he has destroyed. He has stolen dreams and relationships and businesses and opportunities. He has taken time and energy and life and vibrancy and spirit from within you. Well, in Jesus' name, I believe He wants to restore all of the things the locusts have taken from you that the enemy has devoured. And He wants to restore it back to you. And so, if that's you, by faith, like a ball, catch it. "That's for me." The second word I think is just the word reconcile. Reconcile. I think God wants to reconcile some relationships this year. And I think there's a favor on it. I think He wants to reconcile marriages. I think He wants to reconcile friendships. I think He wants to reconcile fathers and sons and mothers and daughters and brothers and sisters and business partners and neighbors and friend groups. I think there is this favor on reconciliation, but not this passive where you're just stepping back waiting for it to happen. I feel very strongly from the Lord that you are meant to be the agent of grace to see that reconciliation take place. It's why Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount, "If you know your brother has something against you, leave your gift at the altar, go reconcile." Reconcile. Go reconcile with that person. You go be the agent of grace. And I think there will be a favor on you if you will go first as an agent of grace to reconcile those relationships in your life. If that's you, just catch it. "That's for me." And then, the last one is relationships. Relationships. I think God wants to say this is a season where there is a divine favor on new relationships. New relationships, new marriages, and new godly relationships, and new best friends, and new business partners, and new people that are going to mentor me and shape me and mold me, and new people that I'm going to mentor and invest in and raise up. I think there is a favor on relationship in this season if we will take a hold of it. I believe God wants to do something through that. And so, if that is for you, catch it. By faith, take hold of it. Because God is speaking, and He's moving, and He has some very specific things that He wants to do in our lives. And so, we have to trust that He's going to say that which we need to hear. And now, we get the opportunity to just respond by faith. See, we want to see His kingdom come and His will be done in this room as it is in heaven. In your life as it is in heaven, in your home as it is in heaven. Yes, the city. Yes, the nation. Yes, the world. But it starts in this room, and it starts in your heart. And it starts in your home. And so, we want to submit and surrender to the lordship of Jesus. And when we welcome Him, He comes, and He is in this place. And when He is here, here's what we know. We know all of the promises of God are a yes in Christ Jesus. We know God is working all things together for good for those who love Him. We know He withholds no good thing from those who love Him. We know our God will do immeasurably more than we can even ask or imagine. We know that He answers the prayers of His people.


And so, as we've been praying for you and we've been seeking God as a church, there are a few things that we really feel like the Lord wants to break into. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to walk through about five or so things that we just sense from the Lord. And here's what we're going to do. I'm going to share it with you. And if it's for you, by faith, whatever campus you're at or if you're online, we're going to invite you to stand up. I'm going to invite you to stand up. Not because we're going to expose you or shine something on you. I'm going to invite you to stand up because you're going to say, "By faith, that's for me." And then, we're going to invite all of the rest of us to pray for those people who are standing up. And so, I'm going to say something, and if it's you, by faith, you stand up because it's God speaking to you. And you'll know it. If you hear it, and you know it's in your spirit, you stand up by faith because it's your saying, "God, I seek you. So, you're going to reward me through my act of faith." And then, we're going to pray. And you're going to pray for these people as if you wanted… the way you would want them to pray for you. And if you're around these people, you'll stand up and put your hands on their shoulders to encompass them. Everybody else will just do this. Does that make sense? Because we know God wants to move through the prayers of His people.


And so, the first thing is simply this. We feel like God wants to give wisdom to people who feel like they really need wisdom in this season. If you're here and you feel like, "I need a word from the Lord. I need some discernment. I need direction. I'm facing a big decision. I'm not sure what to do. I need guidance from God." Specific wisdom for a specific thing, we want to invite you to stand up. I want you to just, whatever campus you're at online, you're like, "I need specific wisdom." Maybe it's what college to go to. Maybe it's should you make that move. Maybe it's should you engage in this relationship. Maybe it's should you marry that person. I don't know. You're just like, "I need wisdom from God." I want to invite you to stand up. If this is you, don't miss it because God's going to move through it. I want you to just stand up. Now, church, if you're around somebody that's standing up, I want you to stand up. Put your hands on their shoulders. Everybody else, raise your hands and pray for them for the wisdom of God to move. So, in Jesus' name, we release the spirit of wisdom and revelation over every person who has just stood up, that they may hear the very voice of God that you would reveal to them that which they currently do not know. Your word says you will guide us and instruct us in the way we should go. You will counsel us and watch over us. So, guide them. Instruct them. Holy Spirit, be the great guide. Be the great counselor. Show them Your ways. Teach them Your paths. You are the Good Shepherd who is leading them into green pastures and still waters. So, Lord, would You give them a word? Would You give them revelation? Would You give them wisdom? Would You give them understanding? Whether they turn to the right or to the left in the days to come, we declare that they will hear a voice behind them saying, "This is the way. This is the answer. This is what you are supposed to do." Now, walk in it by faith. If that was you, in Jesus' name, receive it. Receive it. Receive it. Why don't you go ahead and sit back down? In Jesus' name, I believe the Lord just released wisdom into your humility.


Okay, ready for the next one? Now, you're like, "Okay, now that I know what's happening, maybe if it's for me, I'll stand up." Joy. If you're here and you're like, "I need joy. I need joy. I'm down. I'm heavy. I've been carrying around the despair of this world. I feel like I've lost my spark. I've kind of lost my smile. I just need the joy of the Lord. Wherever you are, I want to invite you to stand up just in humility and faith. Say, "I just need the joy of the Lord in my life." Okay, if that's you, don't miss it. Don't miss it. Okay, now if you surround somebody standing up, turn, put your hand on their shoulder. Everybody else, come on, let's pray for them. So, Jesus, I pray for every person that just stood up in humility. In Jesus' name, we release the joy of the Lord into their life, that the joy of the Lord will be their strength, that in your presence is the fullness of joy. So, may they be aware that You are with them, that they might experience the joy that doesn't make sense in this world, but is heavenly and is pure and is good and comes from You. Lord, we pray that the fruit of the Spirit of joy would be released in their life through the Spirit of the Living God. I pray and declare right now that joy would well up within them like a living spring inside of them, from the innermost to the outermost. Joy would just bubble up, holy laughter, childlike faith, that the despair and the heaviness would be broken off their lives, that oil of gladness and the praise of goodness and celebration of the goodness of God would be released in their life. Joy, joy, joy, joy. Not happiness of this world, but a sense of well-being because I have a good God who dwells inside of me. In Jesus' name, we release joy into your life through the power of the Spirit. If that was you, I believe by faith, God just brought joy. He's bringing joy. He's releasing joy. So, pay attention for it. Go ahead, sit back down.


Third one is just simply this, healthy mind. A healthy mind. If you're like, "I need a healthy mind. I need a healthy mind. My thoughts are scrambled, my thoughts are broken. I've got this sense of anxiety or depression. I don't think clearly. I find myself thinking the same loops, the same patterns. I've got this condemning voice that just lives inside of my head." If you're like, "I just need a healthy mind," by faith, stand up. Okay, if you're around these people, by now you're figuring out what to do. Lay hands on them. Come on, everybody else, let's lift your voice. Jesus, right now, we just declare a healthy mind. We declare the mind of Christ over every person that is standing up. Right now, in Jesus' name, we place the helmet of salvation upon their head that will guard their thoughts. In Jesus' name, we pray that every thought would be taken captive and the only thoughts that will be in their mind are thoughts that glorify You, that submit to You, that surrender to You. We pray that they would not be conformed by the thoughts or the patterns of this world, but that they would be transformed by the renewing of their mind, by thinking different thoughts. We release Your higher thoughts. Your ways are higher. Your thoughts are higher. We release the heavenly thoughts of Jesus into their mind right now. We declare that they will fix their thoughts on Jesus and only Jesus. And that what is ever pure and noble and lovely and excellent and praiseworthy, these are the things that they will think. Right now, I just declare over you that He says He anoints your head with oil. He anoints your thoughts with freedom. That's what that means. He anoints your head with oil. He anoints your thoughts with freedom. In Jesus' name, may you receive that. May you receive that. I believe God's bringing a healing to your mind right now.


Two more, provision, provision. If you need provision, you're like, "I need provision." I need specific provision of something. Maybe I need finances, maybe I need a breakthrough, maybe I need an opportunity, but there is like something. You're like, "I need provision from the Lord for this specific thing in my life." I want to invite you to stand up. If that's you, don't miss it. Think the Lord wants to release. There's something specific that you need. Okay, whatever campus you're at, put your hands on these people, let's pray for them. Jesus, we pray right now. We pray for this act of humility to stand up, to say, "Lord, you know what they need. You know exactly what they need." And so, we ask right now that you would release into their life daily bread, daily bread, exactly what they need to meet the needs of their life. You say that You will meet all our needs according to the glorious riches in Christ Jesus. So, God, would You release glorious riches into those needs? Would You release the resources of heaven into those realities? Would You bring finances and opportunities and breakthroughs from seemingly worldly places, places that they're not even aware of or thinking about, but you're at work and you're moving because the earth is the Lord's and everything in it, the world and all who dwell among it, so you can use any and all things to meet their needs. And so, by the glorious riches of Christ Jesus, may your daily bread be given to you, may supernatural provision, the provision of heaven, be released into your life. In Jesus' name, may you receive that. One last one. One last one. You see how God moves? You feel it? You can see it. You can sense it. You're like, "God's answering your prayers." And He's responding to the humility of saying, "I need Jesus. I need His kingdom." Every one of these prayers is, "I need His kingdom to come. I need His rule and reign. I need life from above because the flesh ain't going to do it and His world can't. I need Him."


Healing. If you need physical healing in your body for anything, I want to invite you to stand up at whatever campus you're at. Anything, from cancer to ailments to arthritis to spinal issues, high blood pressure, different disorders, different diagnoses. Just by faith, I want to invite you to stand up. Okay, church, will you stand up and lay hands, and let's pray. In Jesus' name, we declare healing. In Jesus' name, we declare wholeness. In Jesus' name, we declare that at the cross of Jesus, all of our sins were forgiven, but all of our diseases were healed. By His stripes, we have been healed. So, in Jesus' name, we release healing into this room. Jesus, You tell us that if any of us is sick, we should gather with the church and pray, and we will be healed. So, we're taking You at Your word, and we're coming by faith. And we're believing that You're going to reward the cries of our heart. In heaven, there is no sickness, so may there be no sickness in their body. We bind cancer, we bind up that sickness, we bind up that ailment, we bind up that disease, we release the Spirit of the Living God from the innermost to the outermost. We pray that everything would come into alignment. That every nerve and every blood vessel and every cell and every strand of DNA would be touched by the Spirit of the Living God. And there would be no room or place for the works of darkness because there is no darkness in heaven. And we want to pray Your kingdom come, Your will be done on this earth in this body as it is in heaven. We pray for freedom from arthritis, grease those joints with the grease and the oil of the Holy Spirit. We pray for backs and necks that have been out of alignment and in nerve pain for years, that there would be an alignment and a freedom and a healing in Jesus' name. We pray that you would reverse aging processes that have been decaying bodies and bringing down brokenness. We pray that you would release childlike energy and childlike life through the Spirit of the Living God. You tell us to heal the sick. So, right now, by faith, we say, "May you be healed in Jesus' name. May you be healed in Jesus' name." Come on, would you, everybody, just say that out loud with me. May you be healed in Jesus' name. One more time, just say, may you be healed in Jesus' name. Yes, Lord. Go ahead and grab your seat. May you receive it. May you believe it. May God work in the midst of it.


And here's what we're going to do to believe it and receive it, we're just going to take communion together. So, right now, at all of our campuses, our teams are going to start passing out communion. When it gets to you, you can take simply a cracker and some grape juice, the broken body of Jesus and His shed blood. And all that is, all that is, is saying, by faith, I receive Jesus. I receive Jesus and all that He is and all that He offers. And if you're not there yet on your journey, that's okay. Just pass it along when it gets to you. And when the time is right and you're ready, you'll, by faith, take a hold. Because Jesus has so much for you. He has so much for you. And at the beginning of this year, before you have your goals and your plans and your agendas and your vacations and your busynesses and your hopes and your dreams and all the great, great to all that. Before we do any of that, we say, "Jesus, Jesus, I receive. Jesus, I believe. Jesus, I'm open. Jesus, I'm hungry and thirsty for You and only You this year. May I not thirst and hunger for the things of this world. May I be free from them because I have You. You see, when you take the broken body and the shed blood of Jesus, He says, "Do this in remembrance of me." And when you take it, what you're reminded is everything that has ever been required from you or ever will be required from you has been paid in full. I feel so strongly this week to declare over your life that when you start this year, you have nothing to prove, in Jesus' name. What are you trying to prove? Who are you trying to prove it to? Because it's already been proved for you. You are now the Father's beloved son or daughter in whom He is well pleased. Don't waste the year trying to get the world to say what the Father already has. Don't waste this year trying to get yourself to say about yourself what the Father already has. You are loved, and He is well pleased. You see, when we take communion, we're taking in the very blessing of God. We're taking in a grace that transforms and changes and empowers us to do what we could never do on our own. We're taking in presence, reminding ourselves that wherever we go, He will never leave us nor forsake us, that literally I've become the mobile temple of God, that He is in me and with me. So, what could be against me? And then, when I take this in, I'm saying, "I have submitted and surrendered my kingdom and traded my kingship for His. Jesus, You rule, and You reign in this heart, in this body, in this mind, in this soul, and this life." That's what you're taking in. You're not just doing a religious act. No, you're taking in the healing of God, the provision of God, the healthy mind of God, the joy of God, the wisdom of God. And whatever word you wished I would have said. You're like, "You didn't get to me." No, I just did. Take it in, in Jesus' name. Take it in, in Jesus' name. See, there in the Old Testament, God told the priests, He said, "This is what I want you to say to the people. I want you to always say to them, 'The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn His countenance towards you and give you peace.'" But when Jesus came, the cross forever declared once and for all that the Lord has blessed you and that He keeps you. That He has turned His countenance towards you once and for all and has been gracious to you. That He has made His face shine upon you and always will and offers you perpetual shalom, peace, the comprehensive flourishing of God. So, may we start this year receiving the blessing of the kingdom of heaven that is at hand and available to you and I. You see, on the night the Lord Jesus was betrayed, He took the bread, and He broke it, and He gave thanks, and He said, "This is my body broken." Isn't it interesting that He makes it so personal for you? Not the plural, not them, not just us, no, you. "As often as you do this, do this in remembrance of Me." Would you receive the blessing of the broken body of Jesus that releases His life into your weary soul? And in the same way, after the supper, He took the cup and He said, "This is my blood poured out for you. My blood will be shed once and for all. As often as you do this, do this in remembrance of Me." In other words, remember that everything you need, that everything you want, that everything you hope for, that everything you were created for has been given to you through the cross of Jesus. May you receive the blessing of God, the kingdom of God in your life, in your family, in our church, and to the city and beyond. Jesus, we receive, we receive, and we respond.
