Welcome everybody. I'm your host plastic any Jarvis. Oh, that's so far. We are doing portals down under can I get an Applause from our live audience? We're here live from talk Sydney and our new place and I'd like to welcome our guests all the way from New York City. We got dr. Robin Casas. Hi guys. Come on, give her a big hand. Pastor Tony Casas. Hello and past the Nathan casters. Hello? Hello. This is awesome. This is history in the making. Yes. It is. It is the first time doing portals down under and in our brand-new space. Yes, Jesus. Thank you Lord for this place. Good Kenny. Come on. Let's see you come forward. You want to hear some Aussie accent? Oh, I sure do. Hey, they can bite you got any bees in your Bonnet, but a bird he called a cooker bar. And I'm one of our brothers Dylan discovered that one night my God, it was monkeys in the backyard you had and you know, what are you going to listen as the sound of the Kookaburra? This is my my best. Here we go. It's very good. You can make quite a living doing that. I got it. You got it. Or sounds I can sort of do like a didgeridoo. Like wow, that's the best make sure you clean that microphone. The talent is overwhelming in this place. We don't need the soundboard. We got one here. We want to welcome plastic any job? Yes, and as you can hear we have lot 300 people in. It's burned up exaggeration. Yes, we release the spirit of honesty upon you Pastor Tony any further. Can we do a shout-out to Shania in here? Let's do it in a week. Hello. That was gem tastic. I gotta say Chanel you allow those Aussie slang that you will do in last portals. That was so funny. Yeah, they're accent. She's flatting. Yeah. She said I'm gonna get some mates and go flatting. Yeah. I got a bonnet, but I'm not bringing any bees. So it's very funny because we think Australian culture and American culture is saying but when you live in America For 10 years and then you come back you realize we are completely devoted people totally totally. Totally. Whoever said they were the same. They've got a very wrong. I remember in America. I would say see you later like to thank you at the cafe. Like what do you mean? I'll see you later. You know, like I'm hoping to return my custom. Yeah, they don't get our see you later is by even if you won't see them again. You still say I'll see you later. They're like, are we in a relationship that Know about we're not going opposite. Yeah, it always means the opposite. Yeah, we're not going to see you later. And how are you? Not bad? Yeah. That's right. Yeah, we're always answering in the negative. Even with my even the New York is now they like but that's not what I asked ask you how much it was. I was like, it's not much how far is it all stops? Yeah, yeah, it wasn't cheap wasn't cheap. I think it's just something that's given to the question. That's exactly I've literally had to because could put that's not what I asked. I was like, yeah, but that's just how we answer but speaking about getting straight to the point. That's what all these are about getting to the point pastors shed. All three of his actually tag team tonight shared an amazing word. It was a straight but also encouraging word for talk Sydney here. Yeah, and I'm Pastor Tony and I were talking about a new beginnings to we're 20 buildings. On better promises. So do you want to elaborate what Niche it's not? Yeah. Thanks Kenny. We have an opportunity here at talk Sydney to start something a fresh start something new so we don't want to build on old things. You know, we we've had a lot more experiences in our Christian walk with the Lord at this time it, you know, the year 2020 where we can actually put down a foundation that's brand-spanking-new. Let me give you a gem for that one. Hello. It's not like We're doing something completely new but we're just, you know committing to having a different approach than you did the last say 20 years 10 years, whatever and so we base that on the book of Hebrews. This evening's word was out of the book of Hebrews 13 times. The Apostle uses the term better. Wow, better things better than the Angels. Jesus is better than the Angels. The Lesser is blessed by the better mother. Is a better Covenant better promises better sacrifices and finally a better. Hope for the future. Yeah, and so 2020 the year of Plenty. We wanted to kick off by telling the church here, which we love dearly that we are believing for better things for us as a church. Yeah. Yeah, and that will get better results this time. Yeah, if you lay better things down you're obviously going to get better results than you did the previous, you know. Season so that's what we began begun to share this evening in the services. I think it went down really. Well. What do you think - yeah, I think it did. I think it comes down to us you said built on dead at promises. So it means that we've built something but now we're going to build something better. Yeah. Yeah. So therefore it's to me it means we're going to refocus on things that count. We're going to re-evaluate things that you know mean something So these are all the better things in the better things is re-evaluating reap, you know, focusing all these going back and doing it better. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. I think I know what probably sure about it later just being from talk Sydney having you guys come back. I know you talked about it with the master Carpenter. Yes. I know. It's an honor to have you guys as like the master Carpenters the master Nunes to show us how to do it better and I think I'm sure we'll open up that more but that's one thing that I'm looking forward to with your visit in Sydney is to see how we can do it better and I'm coming from a builder perspective. I could really relate to that so I know you guys will yeah, I've been to that, you know, I'm going to sort of like reference a little bit of like early history or recent history. The America's Cup hundred and twenty seven years. The America's Cup was nailed in the yacht house and Rhode Island in America because the Americans kept winning winning this Yacht Race talk Motor Yacht Race and they had won it so many times that they literally thought they were unbeatable and and we love our American Brothers, but it was a yacht called Australia to Australia one tried but wasn't up to the level to beat the American challenges this your Australia to had what we called a wing. Killin it a different concept A Better concept of your attic yawning and and it won that race in 1983 the room areum I'm reminded of it so vividly because it was straight after all was born again that we won the America's Cup. I think they also had something different about that Nate built something into it and it was controversial but they allowed it. Yeah, and they won it as a result of it, but it was very kind of just lost. Yeah. It just gave him a few more seconds Edge. Yeah, enjoy water and rest is history, you know since then it's been really hard for the American team to retain the cup. They wanted a few times. But the reason why I say that is, you know, you have the original like the cars we drive today are much more better than the original. Yeah because of the experience because of, you know, men thinking better and so forth and in a way it's similar way with, you know, rebuilding The church getting another chance or feel so privileged Pastor to be able to come back to our original Church. Yeah and like regenerate or at least maybe even a rebirth that's based on stronger and better promises, which we believe will bring a better result for salvation for change, you know for leadership structure. Yes. Yes American brothers and sisters had so contributed to our psyche and our spirits that we Church better. Now. I was going to say you said something tonight that I think was very very important. You said we don't throw away the way we've done things but we learn from it. Yeah, and I think the temptation Mission when the enemy comes against us when the Holy Spirit is saying I want you to be better and I want you to get better is we tend to look at everything that we've gone through as a waste and as something that can't be used to but it's not a way on a waste and it's actually stepping stones that we actually step from one one place to another place to another if you didn't have that to do with yesterday. You wouldn't have the Stepping Stones to step into the future into something better. Better but I picked off give me that look out. I've got to get some flies you're going to hijack the dance that I like. I can't even get on the run. It's all right. It's on the run. It's a it's a it's a good thing. Yes a good thing. Yeah, that's much better. And so I think that you know Stepping Stones to where we're heading. I love the idea that it's this better promise that we're building things on is Because we have a God who is the god of more than the second chance? Yes, it gives many chances. Yes, you know, but we don't take that for granted at all, but it's great to know when you make a mistake. God gives you another chance pause man won't give you a chance, but God will give you his ass tell me about it. So, you know as we go into the first break. Yeah, we're going to come back and talk about how the glory of Of this house will exceed the glory of the former house. That's out of haggai chapter 2. So maybe we can pick up that after the break. Awesome. Well, we'll be back very very shortly after these commercial ad breaks three two. Welcome to the portals podcast with dr. Robert Cassis and Pastor Tony Cassis and Pastor days. They casted and your host has stir Kelly jobless from Down Under in Australia. See you soon. Where we blow your minds and about it every time you ready man. Let's hit him with some obvious. Now it's never too much and always that's not enough. All right, let's get back into it. So Pastor Tony you're going to share a bit more. Yeah, and again not to get too serious about it, but it's going to be a lot of fun. We get a second chance like Peter did. To start all over again. It's not really a start all over it starting from Bria value asked point where we left off with a bit of a break. Now. The reason why I say that is a guy in Chapter 2 says the glory of this latter Temple shall be greater than the former says the Lord of hosts. And in this place, I will give peace. So what the Lord is encouraging the Israelites in this prophecy is a lot of the priests that were witness to Solomon. Temple being destroyed they they thought that Temple was the ultimate and so when they started building Temple number two, they began weeping because they thought there's no way that this Temple can exceed the glory of that first temple. So the Lord steps in and says, oh, yes, it will. Yeah, I can make the glory of this house better than the glory of the house that you had before. Yeah. That's our hope for talk Sydney. Yeah. Okay, and it's not like God destroyed anything. Yeah, but Like again, you know like it swim a couple that have say separated and they want to make a go of their marriage again. They want to build it on something better than they what they had before. So there's restoration installation. There is healing, you know, there's a justment tonight. Some Ministry was really a type of an adjustment as well. Yeah. We spoke about sarcasm. We spoke about, you know, opinionated Christians and saying things that you don't really mean Because you don't have the courage enough to say it straight out. I got my God, so I talked a little bit about that in the last portal. Yeah, but we had to sort of make adjustments there. Yeah, but the the focus was on on the vision that God has for us as a church, you know quiet down after this. I remember telling our church in New York and example of a man who was walking down a street where there was a construction site and there was three stone masons sitting On a very small wall they had built and so the passerby goes up to the first stone Mason. He says what are you doing? What are you building? He goes our I'm just laying Stones. So he goes to his friend the next guy down. He asked him. So what are you doing is I'm building a wall. Yeah, then finally the third Stone Mason is approach and he says so what are you doing? So he says I'm building a cathedral and so you can tell out of those three guys. Sighs which one gets up in the morning and looks forward to going to work the guy who's got the vision bigger Vision Cathedral. Yeah, the bigger Vision be saying if you only say how far you going to go today? You won't make it for tomorrow. That's it. Say saying whatever whole vision and so L vision for this church is Big. Yeah, you know, we don't despise Small Beginnings. Jesus started like this the Apostle started like this, but I believe having a second go at it. That's amazing. Grace. On us that's amazing. Grace. Yeah, I think it's it comes down to not just having a second go at it. It's actually a better go little girl. If you used the word better my pastor. Let me give you a gem. Look at his comes that mosquito. I think that was a delayed Jim. Yeah, there's a bit of a delay. It's taking time to land. It's okay go for it. We're improvising as all these do we improvise? Yeah, that mosquitoes got a better life. It's a second chance. Oh my God, dear. No just a bitter. It's a little better place in a better place, you know better thoughts better everything even new new. Ideas of mindsets change and such like that and that of course does big better promises. We start to think a better way. We open ourselves up in a larger way to expect better things. You see he's saying like coming from talk Sydney perspective. If you're more honest like I don't want to go back to how things were before. You're more open fortunately. Lee you're open for change. What do you reckon pasta? Yeah. I think that one of the things that happens when we get better as you said it in Council by God you begin to see God in everything. Yeah, you know and we have a saying at talk New York you always use that scripture out of the gospels. You know, you're in heart shall see God but the talk of your quiz say everywhere the pure in heart shall see God everywhere continually on an ongoing basis all the time. So we literally cover every base to be We'll just say things can only get better when I begin to see God in them. You know, we talked about pain when you bring purpose to pain. That's no longer more any more pain. I like that. Yeah perspective is what you're talking about. I like that. I like that statement because you know, it gives pain purpose and sometimes we concentrate on the pain but we should see that there's purpose in these even Growing Pains has purpose, you know, yeah. And it makes sense. Everything makes sense when you find purpose in it. Yeah, that's why an Olympic Athlete gets up at 4:00 in the morning. Does these you know 5 or 6 kilometers of sprinting every morning because he'll go beyond the pain in his legs and his arms and his chest because he wants that gold medal at the next Olympics. If you lose a side of that you get he stops getting up in the morning now, let me reel that's why we do what we do. Yep. I mean we lose sleep like All the time in New York City, you know with constantly like on going schedule, but when we see the fruit of what it is born in people's lives and makes all the sleepless nights the waiting and hours for parking spots. You know, I mean, it makes it worth it falling asleep on Portals. That's that's not possible. Don't you ever go? It's the unsane things too. We definitely have the Unseen where Tony we can't see him sitting in the car also. Also, you know we're talking about the America's Cup. We do. I don't want to do a like an assessment of both sides of this for this what you always mentioning the America's Cup. No, I'll just say we don't want to compare the American church with Australian. Yeah too much because we weren't there. Do you want we can't superimpose if angiogram Australian mindset now, we don't even do the work and we can't sue. Impose an American mindset or way of doing things on the Aussie Church. Yeah, and I really believe Apostle Paul had this down pat whatever Church whether was Greek weather was Jewish whether it was Roman. Yeah He adjusted his gospel. What not the message but the methodology to suit that culture so we know not to come back to Australia and make it America. Like it has to be like this now, you gotta do this you gotta and we don't go to America and make it a strea but we have Uh make adjustments that way and that's why we believe it's better that we've had the experience, you know, and we've learnt so many things by, you know being in America for the last 10 years on and off and let me let me just you were talking about you've always got stories to tell Pastor Tony. Well, I have one to the needed adjusting in America. Yeah when I was in a show one time I asked for pair of thongs. Oh my God. Are you sure you want to share that I show up this and so feel well never ever ever do that again? Yeah, and so I'm in the shop can and when I'm in the shop I'm saying I need to put these thongs on my feet straight away and everybody in the shop stopped. They didn't want to talk anymore. They just wonder listen like what are you talking about? I just think she got worse. It got worse. Oh my God. Yes, the shopkeeper got you know just do it all out of me. Yeah. She do. You know, he's do he knew when you I'd come from Australia and I was so he took me for a ride in the shop and what actually happened. He asked me what color I want to if I wanted them leather. I'll cheese ricotta D know because I've tried to go to a Mary Carillo and get her married to understand. Yeah me is an OC in the way that I would present myself in the end. I realized what thongs were all about. And I this guy said to me so where do you wear them? I sit on the beach and it said doesn't get between you. Well my God every time I tell that story. Tori the Americans laugh at me they laugh a lot I'm picking up from this so you should laugh it's funny because there's a there's an Australian comedian that I was showing the yes to all these Americans Ibex Chicago Bear in these like, you know, it was walking down New York and he's like this american guy said, oh man when she bends over you can see her thong and he's like well, why would you see a thong for because it's right there. It's sticking out the back of a jeans. Why is it sticking out the Given jeans and then he goes, where's the other one? And the guy goes you seem to know a lot about thong zika. Yeah. I wear them your mom wears them. My Dad wears them when it gets real hot at the beach. We take them off and put them on your fingers it woke up the said so you're saying it's important to know the terminology and the lingo of the land explain to our listeners. It's important to know where your phone is a foot candle or gender. Let me Flip Saunders called. Yeah, yeah gender and thongs for Australia they go and so what America is called a thong we call a g-string. Did you just say that I'll portal. Well you did we just went from PG 32 in a second. There is no biggie you were talking about, you know, not bringing you a culture. Oh, yeah. No. Yeah we go to say hi to imitate. I understand the message. I don't understand what if you want those saying well, I know I don't seem very fast that day. Yeah, I've never done it since so I learned a great lesson that and I had a lot of people looking at me. I think though even though all comedy aside I think this brings out a very important thing that it does you taught before we actually We came and it's that the Lord actually gives us individuality. Yeah, we did he doesn't want us to be independent, but he allows us to have a unique identity in him. Well, we have you know, like The Talk The Talk New York, it's Unique. It's not it's not Sydney and it's not any other talk that will come after it, you know talk Sydney. It's Unique even tonight leading worship. It was a different flow. It was unique. Yeah, you know, and I'm tempted to come in guns blazing like, you know, but the Lord said no just just You weigh in slowly because I don't want to overpower people here, you know and try to bring them up when God's God needs to be the one to bring them up. Not me, you know, and so I think that what you're saying is he's allowing each Church to have its individuality and that is for the better gets better. Yeah what to pass tonight when you franchise something like say a food place you go to like your local place and they start franchising it lose its quality. Yeah, and you know, its original flavor. Ah, and I think what you're saying with the church, when you start franchising the church, you actually lose the vision. Wow area. You deserve a Djembe ready for it. You know that that you like that person you like going there. And that's what we want to bring into church. Is that Personal Touch and that you know, the people that you're real, you're not just a franchise coming in told them what they need to fix. Come on pass. They can't even better prayers Kenny. I just observe when you guys went to America. You have to learn you have experienced so much. I sure did you guys understand how the people what they do how they think what makes them tick is a big thing for a vision to grow now. I'm looking forward to drawing another. Australian into that embarrassing situation like I went through yeah drawing nobody break go to break before it goes to all right, welcome back my God. Hey guys. Want to hear God speak to you personally, then join us here at dipping night. It's every first Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m. To find out more information or to RSVP.

We have a very exciting announcement our senior leaders. Dr. Robin casters Pastor Tony Casas and past the Nathan casters are coming back down under to visit equip and launch a church in Sydney to its next spiritual season. They haven't been home in Australia in over five years and we are so stoked to have them come and impart to us with hands later on what God is doing. So if you're in the Sydney area grab a whole bunch of your It's and come on down to Parramatta like and follow our Facebook page talk Sydney for the location and times let our pastors speak over your lies a prophetic word of Direction encouragement and life that will bring Clarity to 2020. Don't miss out on your chance to be impacted like never before and take up the opportunity to be blessed. See you there. We're gonna go back in as well. That's better revelation. Go he'll jump pass the night in the subtotals there. You're sharing with us. Come on. Yeah, I was I was sharing this something that the Lord was downloading to me as Pastor Robin was talking is that I feel like the entrance to bitterness comes because Pastor Tony and pastor of them were talking about leaving your promises to be activated in the hands of the Holy Spirit. Yeah, and but as Christians, we think that we have capes sometimes and so we put on our super Christian cake. I'm super Christian, you know and we try to activate our own Promises by using our own methods our own Works. Our own schemes understand not getting the download from the Holy Spirit, you know, we talked about this in Council by God. There's a lot more time that needs to be spent incubating rather than actually birthing. The birthing is what the Holy Spirit does and the incubating to but we need to spend time incubating the promises of God and find out where his movement is at and I feel like that is a A very big entrance when we don't see the promises of God according to our time schedule or clock. That's where we start to get bitter and we blame God and we go into that saying which we hate a talk New York and talk Sydney, which is oh here we go. Again, you know and pastor always says and counseled by a god. It's not here we go. Again, it's where do we go from here? You know, and that's that better perspective. I know you were talking about that password addicted to you mention that we sort of instigate our Own moves and lat if you instigate your own mood, then you're not and individual. You're just a clone of laughing Jesus. I need to jam the and so therefore what are we going to be a photocopier of something or imitate like Paul said, so we actually think that we're acting alone when we integrate our news, but we're just doing what everybody else does. Yeah. We just a photocopy of the real deal. So to be an actual Vidual you should be relying on the holy spirit because that's different from the crowd. Yeah, and now may God and that makes you you could hit that gem that it's a bit delayed, but I'm going to let it go through. And it fully landed this time it landed baby it landed and and so it's more to do with imitating hmm, you know rather than being a photocopy of something. I'll get the word copycat. You don't to be a clue. Don't be a copycat every single one of us as individuals. And that's how the Holy Spirit wants to work with us as individuals. Not a clone of something you can apply that. Finally and also as a church, yeah, you can't just copy someone else's Vision or how they're doing it. Well that's working for them. It's going to work for me. Yeah. No, it's no. No, it doesn't work. It doesn't work that way. And so each one of these promises that you got in the scriptures that we build on there for individuals, you know, we we don't just get this one statement and that applies to everyone everyone has a better promise. It everyone has a better promise and you know, if you work with the Holy Spirit, you're going to see what that better problem is says. Yeah, so just go back on some theology here. The reason why we chose the verses out of Hebrews is because the book was written to encourage Jewish believers who are considering going back to the legal disputes, right sister-in-laws of persecution. Yeah, and so I believe Paul wrote the book, so I'll just say Paul was appealing to these Jewish Christians that cause Jesus is now the new high priest. Everything is better everything. Come on way. They live the way they communicate the way their relationship with God everything is better. And so we move from bitter to better which is what you were allowing it on. Right and and the transition is through receiving forgiveness. And then ministering forgiveness a lot of Christians and I had to receive forgiveness. Oh God, forgive me but like that unmerciful servant and I'm talking to myself. Yeah, when it comes to letting something go and forgiving it they hang on. Yeah, and this is where the Lord you know, he can lock up heaven heaven will get locked up. You will have a bright eyed Brazen Heaven if you don't let it go. Wow. Are you getting this? Yeah, we are. Because the churches that grow the fastest are the ones who are most gracious when it comes to forgiveness that when you say grow we're not talking about accumulation in like quantity. We're talking about qualifies as well both me. It's both but you know, let's let our spiritual maturity actually Believers and I'm just going to church to consume you had to contribute, you know what I mean? So saying you need to get healed and then help others. Yeah absolutely. Sounds like a simple thing. Yeah, really easy. Just a bit hard to do that's true receive the forgiveness and then give it you know, our granddaughter Karen tonight during Communion song now wonderful song forgive as the Lord forgave you yeah as the Lord forgave you how did the Lord forgive you well weigh it up. What were you forgiven from now? We again and says convicting. Yeah, you know if you've been forgiven much and have and we can't say yes, and no to to these little smaller issues that come upon us along our on our route, you know on our route to Glory. Mmm. So, how can how convicting do you feel the Lord sends people that you think are unforgivable my God the church my God. Yeah. This is why Pastor often says if the Lord has led them here. He's already starting to work on their hearts. Don't put a spanner in the works. Wow, so don't That growth know the fact you dive bomb means the Holy Spirit has already worked on him to get there. He's drawn them in. We don't interfere with what God's doing. As I said, we've got to leave it in the hands of the Holy Spirit. If we want this promise, we have to the our part to play is to desire. Look who in the world gives you that second chance very very little amount of people do that. I work there for you. Yeah, you see but yet the Lord he says, you know, this is a time for better promises. Yeah, and you decide those better promise. What are these better promises? Well, some of the better promises have got to be the way we think yeah. Come on SO way we Act Few weeks right as we were leaving the building as someone turned up had been estranged from us. Yeah for about a year and a half. Yeah and the immediate reaction cause you know, you've heard what they've said you've seen what they've done their life isn't really lining up with what we would judge as acceptable. Yeah on a personal level and suddenly your heart starts to get crusty. How do I approach that place? Listen, what do I you know like you get hard foul and and straight away. It was like the Holy Spirit was was showing me how you're going to handle. Yeah this offense instead of saying here we go. Again know, how are you gonna handle this offense? What's the first impression you're going to give this press and I had to go through what I said on the pulpit if God had led them to the church. It was good. The fact that they feel that they can come back after what was said and done is an act of God and then enforce a no. Yeah, then I'm accountable to God because he's already worked on that person's heart and I felt so convicted because I got to be truthful. My first response was hello. Yes. It was very mattress. Good to see you boys gonna get out of here. It's very good. It's a packed up the car and I can normally has as a routine. Teen and then then conviction really he landed. No, I'm not going to fill up what God has started here. And so now that my heart attitude had changed response from the person also changed. Yeah Hallelujah, so even with vision and growth in a church, he's going to bring people back that we might think about how many geez think about the potential of how many comebacks just in this channel box. X times over why don't why don't we think about revisit you see we were talking all about re yeah every not seeing for the first time. Yes, it's coming back to early new and so, you know revisit your ideas revisit what's important? These are the things that he wants to build on. He wants to rebuild these thoughts and these patterns and these mindsets. And not just give you new ones what a waste of time if he were all that time you put in. Yeah, but all that time you put into Bill certain things and it's so easy to throw it away. I don't believe you're a bit you win Victory is doing it by throwing things away so easily, but if you let him rebuild something that he says, he will really allow to be rebuilt on You're going to see that your mindset go in a different direction. Yeah, your thoughts and your desires that you need those things rebuilt on you know, it's a lot of time and energy going in and God has put a lot of time into it. And so what do we do? We just Chuck them away. No, of course. We don't we say Lord rebuild on a better thing. Yeah, but you see these things as stepping stones. Ends, you can't just throw them away. See if he says are a stepping stone then step on them. Yeah, and the fact that fact is when he rebuilds, you know, as he brings you to step you don't have to look at those things as against you anymore. You can now begin to see our everything. I went through was for a purpose everything I learned in that season was for a purpose, you know, we say the scriptural quite a quite a bit they over. By the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony if you didn't have some of those experiences you wouldn't have a testimony and that's what we have to realize God was forming a testimony in us now. He doesn't use, you know, evil that good may come but he always turns what the enemy meant for bad for our good and so I see what you're saying a to get that better perspective. I'm to look at those things that I've gone through in the past and be like wow Lord. I learnt this much That experience. There it is, you know, yeah rather than notating like, you know with my mouth because it's a season about the mouth. Yeah and speaking out, you know, zipping the lip Zippy the Lippy with the Foley. I'm very quick to note all the Folly in those circumstances, you know. Well that was when this didn't turn around and I remember when that person said that but again, I always go back to what David did he said? I will remember your good works. I will remember your promises day and night so he took inventory of the good, you know, we Talk about taking every thought captive and taking inventory of the bad things. Yeah, but I think in 2020 the Lord is calling us to take inventory of the good and just as much as the bad. Well, I think that scripture that says and God the pure in heart shall see God and you know, it's great to see God but as you start to add to it you see him everywhere. Yes. So you start to build. Yes, and then you start to see him continually everywhere. Yeah, you know I'm going all the time everywhere it you can't help but Bill. Yeah, you can't help but build, you know, the Lord will build on that. It's a pasta a thankful heart will help you build more. It's definitely part of it, you know prepare. Yeah, and so don't throw and discard things because I think this is pretty serious when you discard part of your life of the pacifier. Odd Bunch come on to step on it as a stepping stone that otherwise we're going back to the beginning every time and we need to use these things that we are building on better things as stepping stones. I was a stepping stone to get you to the throne that just drop them in I'll get myself again for that one. I'm not getting going any further. Uh, yeah, it's like you need a step up go up. Yes. So, you know you go from that step that stone to the next Stone. So what are you going to do go to the bottom of the ladder and walk up there again, or you're going to actually go from where the Lord says now, let's go up higher. Yeah, no servants go to the bottom of the ladder son's go to where they last fell off. That's right. So as you're going up even your mindsets are changing. Yeah Everything Will Change. So it's a quick briefing always progressing because it said that's mentality is here. I go again. I've got a climb the ladder got to do the hard work got to please the hard Taskmaster a certainly not anywhere. If you got to keep going to the bottom of the ladder all the touch and that wasn't his choice. That's your choice. Can I jam it get that going again? You don't just say it's just another year. Here we go. Again. It's just another Another year and I hear that a lot. So how can we go forward at the start of this year and not think like that. Well, I think you got to go back to what was said 2020 are aplenty and this is now being built on better promises. Okay. If you have an attitude, here we go again, you just keep going to the bottom of the ladder and just climbing those several. This again and and then you never get anywhere, you know in cycle. Yes. It's so sloppy around and go to the next one and that's how you do it. You cooperate with the Holy Spirit don't live in yesterday come on with this up to today and look forward to for tomorrow. That's it. So you've always got Vision looking ahead. Looking ahead not just in the present but looking in the future. ER that's what your scripture says. Yeah up. We got to go to break just before we do we often mention movies and that's like know you often mention more interesting on these I mentioned Groundhog Day because the theme of this movie is this man wakes up to the exact same experience. Yeah, all these life every single day. And it's not until the very end of this this this movie that he realizes his decisions. Determine his future. Yeah. Oh my God. It's such a prophetic movie. It's a reflection of a lot of sessions that wow. If you don't come out of the repeated cycle, that's pathetic. But if you learn the lesson say it's part of making the decision that change your future then then your head. In the right direction and I finish it. If you don't come out of the repeated cycle, it's pathetic. But if you learn the lesson, it's preferable food. Well, I'm gonna do a 360. It doesn't have his swivel chairs. Wow for those that don't know what a 360 is. I invented it's when I take my face away from the microphone in the 360 Direction and ice cream. Ready 1 2 3. I just let it rip. It's like my surroundings. Yeah. It was like a like a prophetic surround sound. Let's hear it in your ears. You know, we need to go too bright because I'm starting to get silly. But when we come back, I think we should tie up. You said the pure in heart see God. Yeah, but you know, this is a season of speaking. So we've got to see him on an ongoing basis. But now we got to begin to speak what we see. Yeah. Well, we had those different levels. Yeah we so let's try that out when we come back right after this break.

Oh my God, if you could say audience what's going on right now in stock? The better things are coming. They could have seen you. I'm so glad there's no camera. I'm just so glad they couldn't see Pastor. Tony was doing his figure eights. Well, the way Apostle mites send me a letter or something. Oh my Lord, Jesus Pastor. You should have waited till you got your leggings your pink ones. We can redeem Figure Eight's we can redeem Geisha walking we can redeem whack-bat Hallelujah. You know what what I just want to me. That's very culture. If you're listening and you're voguing. God loves you. Well, I Vogue is more vague as a good one very vague and you very void all shame. Mr. Sarcasm is a long every bit of it. Yeah. She did she did she spoke the truth. All right, and I could handle it. It's gonna happen. All right past the Robin. Dr. Robin. I should say it's okay and you tie it up. I called the doctor Robin past the prophetic mum everything under the Sun. What do you want me to tie up? You want me to our listeners need some homework? Cuz I even for me how do we implicate these things that we are saying? Yeah, how do we make them practical? Because I think also what you're saying is it's a practical thing we can apply to our life. So are we talking about about making it the 2020 Europe plenty of we talking about we're talking about the better promises. Which one is it? Well the better promises and so we don't go around that cycle. How do we break our first and foremost to Tin the word you need? Believe that. Yeah, it's not something that we're making up. This is actually there. Yeah, you see do you have in you ideas that you would like to do things better? Yeah. Well, they go God already put it in his word before you even desire to doing. It's a good basis to build it on shake a good foundation. So you understand what I'm saying? Do you think that this might be your your desire but in actual fact he put it in the word that it's his desire. And so I think the reality is that you've got to see he wants it more than you. Do. You see he wants better relationship with you Jesus. We are one better relationship with him, but he wants better relationship with you. So I think something we could pray is Lord. Give me that desire that mmm for me to very good things that you have. Yeah desire for me to do. Yeah. So that's something where you could start. If you don't have any desire, you could say Lord. Give me that desire. Yeah, so you cannot ask for it because but you also can recognize that you want it, you know, it's there's another reword recognized recognized that you really want this, you know, and it's not just a thought that's just come to you and you actually want this you see so you recognize it, you know, and then and of course you work with the holy spirit that will start to activate these desires. It's not you activating your desires as yeah. This is this is the biggest key of them. All the activating agent is the holy spirit. Not you mmm now get off the throne and let him get on the throne. This is the game. Yeah, you will not activate. That you will participate uh, Jim button damn button. You hijacked. I'll just gonna give sort of like a I don't know like a summarization of all that we've been saying I thought capsulated at all, but I heard the Lord say what we've had was good. Yeah. What we now are getting is better. Yeah, but the end game is best. Yeah. And goes on good come on Greta this app and game is God's best. Yeah, but at the present time we're concentrating on the bed of things. We've had good things. Yeah, we're moving into better things. But our goal is the best thing so we step on the stones of the good things to we come to the better things. Then we step on the stones of the better thing till we get the best things to what to when you want better you got Got you have room for improvement to because you know that you can do better and then when someone does come along and says you can improve in this area or let me help you you can say Okay, I want better. So you're open. Yeah for that growth. I think in 2020. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to put the cap on the ceiling because we cap it very very at a limited capacity. We say well this is enough. Yeah, you know and then and then and then we don't desire and so the Holy Spirit can't birth in us his desire because we say Oh God, this is enough. This is all I can handle. Yeah, but we learnt last week we can handle truth is it's a person. It's an active relationship with Jesus. It's not a fact it's not like, you know when ID not so when he puts the cap we can say yeah, I want better. I want better in my emotions. I want better in my family. I want better in my walk with the Lord and better in my finances relationships. You know, I want better for my children and then we you know what again, I go back to what Pastor was sharing because this course is transformed. My life that's when hope begins to arise and hope comes from within not without you know as Christians. I think it's important in 2020. We realize that hope comes from within us we're constantly looking to outside circumstances and hope items into it. Yeah, like Superman then Rise Up from within us but it comes from within us. So we're in those situations where we haven't got better. Like you said the first step is to ask the Lord to give you the desire pass the set recognized when he does give you the Or if he's already given you the desire and then like Pastor Tony said let Hope begin to arise. Yeah that this isn't the end there's better and then there's best you know, so I think that's a great way to cap it off. I'm Pastor you want to give us that prophetic charge. I picked a prophetic charge is to First locate recognize activate what God gives to you by the Holy Spirit. Seeing hearing doing these are all tied up with working and allowing the Holy Spirit to be activated in you more and more and more and of course realize so we're recognizing and re-evaluating and all these things and then realize that it's the holy spirit that is doing this and you just want to work with him. Hmm you want to work? With him rather than have to sequel I'd like to do that but I've got to start going to stir all this up in me. You don't stir anything up in you you desire he stirs he activates and you walk it out. Wow. Wow, I think the crowd should give an Applause because that was an amazing portal. There's thousands of people cheering us on Hallelujah. Jingle. Oh, no have I got a jingle butter. Jingle, okay and see what we can do. Then you can beatbox is good. But things are gonna get better my better to that you'll enter into rest, but things are gonna get better you'll enter into rest. But everyone was a kookaburra sap things are gonna get better. We're out in the forest where flirting with our mates Hallelujah. So I think it's gonna reach out. I'll pass attorney wants to say hello to some prophetic future to the universe young Church in Lisbon Portugal. Wow, that is going to get this podcast and they've also got a second chance hmm with rebuilding on better promises Lisbon Portugal we Check out to you. God bless you in this church plant and we're looking forward to hearing from you real soon and getting to know what the Lord says. I am. The one building this house. It is not you I will I will use your your hands and your feet and your mouth to build into people's lives and the Lord says don't personalize the trials that you're going through. The Lord says I'm with you to empower you to forgive and to move forward into Quick Church growth and the Lord says as I will not forget the the nation of Portugal in my in my dispensation of Grace in these end times says the Lord. Wow, very good Wow Come on past. Yeah, as I was waiting on the Lord. I just heard the Lord say there's a listener in Korea and this person is listening because they're at the point of their relationship with God where they want better, but they don't know how to get there. And so the Lord says My child just begin to allow me to pour my spirit into into your very being and to activate those walls that you've built bring them down around your soul man, and let me into those empty rooms and fill it with my love. And yes, the things of the past have been heavy, but the Lord says I'm beginning to build as Pastor Robbins said those steps from past so that you can step on them becoming Stepping Stones, which will eventually lead you to a throne. And so the Lord says let me build. Let me build again. Don't hold back and don't keep me from building. But let me build again says the Lord. Okay Ken, it's your turn. I got the word Tamworth someone in Tamworth. Come on, Otis, just speak step out. My son. Just know that there's no rush. Just just take your time. My son. I want to I want you to get to know me and know that I want you to thank me more and to know that I'm going to come through that. You won't have to make it happen. I know you've done it before and you thought what's the point of trying again, but my son just wait on me. Wait on that word that I'm going to speak into your life and that you'll get clarity for the next steps is the Lord and my word is for Australia. I seem to be coming back to Australia quite a bit actually came back to Australia, but in my spirit, I'm actually coming back to Australia and there's a better promise coming for the weather. Come on. There's a better promised the Lord says I'm bringing a better promise, but that had to be stepping stones for those of the past to even the present to now the future. So the Lord really speaks that the atmosphere is in in a mode of change things are happening and you cannot even see them the Lord says but I tell you things are stirring in the spirit. It there is you say it's hot in Australia, but the Lord says it hot in the spirit says mom on what the weather change. Come on Holy Spirit.

It's 2020 and portals is bringing the Thunder from down under. To kick us off in the new year, our portals team is coming live to you from Sydney, Australia. While our Senior Leadership is on a mission trip imparting to our Sydney church family -- and visiting their own family -- our portals platform has officially  been aussified...if that's a word. In this gemtastic episode, the portals team join a new host, Ps. Kenny Jarvis (one of the lead Pastors from TORCC Sydney) as he sits down with our Senior Leadership -- Dr Robyn Kassas, Ps. Tony Kassas, and Ps. Nathan Kassas. In true portals' fashion, Ps. Tony hits us with the timely word that the Holy Spirit is releasing for 2020: "Things have to get better!" This means, that we can't stay where we have been but we have to move from good onto better, and finally the best. This is what God wants to give us in 2020. Then Dr Robyn shares the explosive truth that the Holy Spirit is the one who not only puts the desire for better in our hearts, but activates it in our lives. We have tried to activate better promises but end up falling into bitter words. Only the Holy Spirit can lead us into the better because He desires it more than we do. Finally, Ps. Nate shares the importance of renouncing bitterness in this season. You can't be bitter and get better! It's a portals with a difference but still full of raining gems from Heaven. Speaking of rain, the word is fulfilled that Dr Robyn Kassas spoke. After 6 years of drought, Australia has seen a heavy downpour of rain and the drought is broken. Things are indeed getting better!
