God commands us to honor all people. He summons nations to their destiny by telling them to honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. When He makes himself known among us we are able to host His Presence well.

Once again the glory cloud came! In the kingdom, glory and honor go hand in hand. Honor is the ability to recognize glory in someone else. When I recognize God in someone else it brings life. When we learn to honor, we maximize our potential on this earth.

Pastor Jack Hayford teaches that there is nothing more fundamental to the heart of God than the worth that He has invested in each person He created. The basic thing that the adversary wants to challenge is your identity in God and he uses subtle ways to deceive us. We can cast down those thoughts and imaginations from the enemy and stand strong in what God thinks about us.

Kris reviews some elementary principles of the Kingdom and focuses on the foundation of honor, supporting leaders, knowing your identity as a son/daughter of the King and remaining humble before the Lord. Jesus never said "Go out and make Christians" He said "Go out and make disciples". There is an element of discipline that comes from the honor of serving the Lord.

The vehicle that carries our supernatural ministry is love, honor, patience and virtues. When we start prophesying things that bring fear, we are not displaying the kingdom of God. Positive prophecy builds up the church and brings the body into a place of encouragement. God wants to do something amazing in our day.

Jesus is the culture maker. Culture comes from leadership. Culture self-regulates. A revival gives permission to bring love into culture. Where worshippers understand how much they are loved, and have the opportunity to give love back to their community. As revivalists we bring a culture of love. We bring the kingdom of heaven into the places we live and work.

Video Sunday! Bill shares multiple videos of the miraculous love of God. In a very moving and powerful time of prayer, the church prays for soldiers, veterans, and our country.

How can we leave a legacy of longevity to the next generation? Bill examines the life of Hezekiah to reveal keys. We must move into the reality of lasting blessing and favor, instead of the cycle of blessing and complacency the church has experienced. We are created to carry favor and blessing so that others are impacted and changed by the goodness of God. When favor increases, it increases our capacity to sacrifice.

The character and nature of God cannot be defined by the reactions of men. God's nature goes from glory to glory. When we are negatively affected by our circumstances, we must hold on to the great things that God has already done in our lives

Bill uses the illustration of his hunting dog, Rez, to explain how we can be better stewards of what God is doing. He explains that the dog would "honor" what the other dogs would recognize, and it positioned him to have more blessings. By using the principles that we see in daily life, we can live a more fulfilled Christian life.

If we honor those that go before us, even those that ended poorly, we will have access to their anointing. We honor them because in honoring we get to draw upon what they bring to the table. If honor a prophet in name of prophet you receive a prophet's reward.
If we don't remember our history, an area of prior strength later becomes a strong-hold where assaults are launched to mock the move of God.
First and foremost, we must honor the Holy Spirit. God lit the fire on the altar, but a priest was responsible to keep it burning. Every revival began because of God, but every revival ended because of man. Fire always falls on sacrifice and stops falling when there is nothing on the altar.

The further you go with God, the less you can take with you. The Acts 5 church walked in great power and favor and none came to them lightly. We need to host the Presence with conscious awareness. The enemy wants you anxious because you create the environment around you that is inside of you. Try to live in such a way that nothing gets bigger than the presence of God in your live. You are only good for a problem if you go with knowledge that the spirit of the Lord is upon you.
In 1 Peter 2, faith is contrasted with disobedience, not unbelief. Where there is no faith, there is disobedience. Faith does not grow by striving, it grows by surrendering.
The church thrives in opposition, the greatest difficulty is how we perform in blessings. A person is tested by the praise that is given to them. He will bless the world before will bless the carnal believer.
He looks for those who can handle the honor and praise. If you cant handle honor you will have nothing to place at his feet.

Honor is elevated glory,respect or prestige. When you honor someone you give them access to what you have in your life.
Honor recognizes one another according to the spirit. Hope never goes away when I see you according to your destiny.
Your posture of honor is to protect your relationship with Holy Spirit.
It is out of that relationship that you nourish the world around you with honor.

Eric shares candidly about contending for his own healing, being raised by Bill & Beni, and Bethel's heart for missions.

We are moving from denominationalism to family. In denominationalism the goal is to agree first, not relationship. Denominationalism reduces the unity of the spirit to the unity of the word.
We have to learn how to honor those that we don't agree with.
What would happen if we loved the people we didn't agree with? Can you honor someone who doesn't know the Lord? What if we could say when they put us in the lion's den, oh king may you live forever.
If you love your enemies, you destroy your enemies. The Lord wants to move us to the table of kings, but we need to learn how to behave in the palace.

Honor is one of the ways we put a demand on the anointing that is in someone else's life. There is a familiarity with God that can block us from entering into greater realms with God.

Honor is the key to passing revival to the next generation.
