History Maker
"If we don't have revelation, then our vision, our ability to see what's ahead and to operate in that, diminishes to nothing. And that's why people perish."
~ Dr. Kevin L. Zadai
After you watch the video and read the study notes on this page, answer these questions here on the Blog mentioned above:
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Colossians 1:27
DISCUSSION:
We want to see you make history. Jesus Christ is inside you and wants to expand and express Himself through you. This will help you rather than try to get into works where you're putting a demand on yourself to be better and perform like we've had to deal with in the past, with religion. It's been all about performance, which has not been effective in these days that we've been tested. I want to talk to you and come to you in Ephesians four, and I want to encourage you that you can make history.
You can be a history maker, but it's who's inside of you, it's the hope of glory, the treasure that is inside of you.
Ephesians 4:20 TPT:
But this is not the way of life that Christ has unfolded within you. If you have really experienced the Anointed One, and heard his truth, it will be seen in your life; for we know that the ultimate reality is embodied in Jesus! And he has taught you to let go of the lifestyle of the ancient man, the old self-life, which was corrupted by sinful and deceitful desires that spring from delusions. Now it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you. And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new life and live in union with him! For God has re-created you all over again in his perfect righteousness, and you now belong to him in the realm of true holiness. So discard every form of dishonesty and lying so that you will be known as one who always speaks the truth, for we all belong to one another.
• Here is how we become powerful on the earth; when we realize who is inside of us and that unfolds. It says that every revelation has been given to us.
• It’s based on revelation.
• If we don't have revelation, then our vision, our ability to see what's ahead, and operate in that just diminishes to nothing, and that's why people perish.
• People perish because of the lack of vision.
• If you stop getting revelation, and you stop getting the Holy Spirit talking to you and leading and guiding you, (He is the truth), then what you have is no action whatsoever.
KEEPING WITH THE VISION
I've seen this happen. When I studied in college, the denomination I was with, asked me to do a history of the origin of that denomination, taking it back to when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit started in the United States. I was amazed at how powerful that denomination was at the beginning and how everyone, just like all of us, wanted the move of God, and we wanted people to get healed.
They were wanting to people to get filled with the Spirit. I looked at what happened, and I wanted to know why. I talked to a lot of people, and this is the conclusion I came to; is because the vision that they had at the beginning, it diminished to where there was just no movement whatsoever, no activity whatsoever.
• To be a history maker, you've got to discern what the plan of God is for that generation, and He's going to have to tell you that.
• Every one of us in this generation, God has a plan.
• It's a template that He lays over our life and it's exactly what He has desired and written about.
• All of us together are very powerful, but if we do not come together and do not help each other and build each other up, we’re not doing our part.
• It’s the basic 101 of Christianity because this is how people perish; they lack vision, and they lack understanding of what they're supposed to be doing this lifetime. I want to encourage you.
Becca, I want you to share a little bit about this because when I was on the other side, I did not want to come back because I know exactly how hard it is based on being with Jesus in Heaven and seeing Him in the perfect realm and then having to come back here and try to communicate.
I was bewildered. I'm going to be honest with you; I was totally bewildered when Jesus showed me the template of how we're supposed to be down here and the effectiveness and my heart was, I can't even get two or three people to agree on anything and do something. It's like, it's so hard to get two or three people on the same page let alone a bus load of people or a whole move of God.
I couldn't imagine what it was like for Moses to try to manage all those people. I felt bewildered when Jesus showed me His true plan, and His true purpose with the Father was that we would all become one and love each other and build each other up to where we were just indivisible. We weren't being able to be separated or divided. Then it was contagious. So, Becca, go ahead and share whatever's on your heart. I appreciate. Thank you.
Becca:
Yeah, I just think it's so cool how our lives have a ripple effect and that while we may be unknown in this world, we're known in Heaven. And I just think about some of the most impactful people in my life. They never wrote a book or were on a TV show, but they lived a faithful life for Christ. I think of my Grandma. I think of this woman at my church who writes everyone a card and remembers every child's name and faithfully praises in the spirit for people and how known they are to the Father. That is a history maker in Heaven. They impact generations and generations to come, even though the world may not know their name. I think of my best friend who was saved at a campus ministry just by showing up to a Bible study and how that campus minister may have felt so defeated and thought about, “Oh, this generation is going to ruin,” and what people would say about that, but that's a history maker. You just impacted a whole generation of families. Like I said, my grandmother, by praying through three children, and the history makers that are made by you just living faithfully for the Lord.
That's really good. Remember out there as you're sitting and listening to this, all of us want to please God. All of us at Warrior Notes that we're just like you. We want to please God. We want to know, and I know that it's not always easy to know what God wants you to do. This is what I found; when I don't know what to do, I just do something. If I didn’t have a place to speak. When I didn't have a place to speak, and no one wanted to have me speak anywhere, I studied all the time. Kathi and I would sit for hours and study. We did that for years, and when we didn't have anything else to do, we knew we could pray and intercede. We would intercede for America. We would intercede for the churches; we would intercede for our church. As you're sitting there, you can do something. That's why I encourage all of you, all your fellowships to bring extra food, canned goods and blankets, water, and things to your fellowship in some of the countries that you're in. It’s a great help; a big deal.

Remember, that it's Jesus Christ inside of you, but then the revelation of that, can be bewildering. It can be overwhelming at times because you don't always know. Some of you don't even know if you're hearing God's voice correctly or not, but Jesus knows that He loves you. He's inside of you. So meditate on the fact that God said through Solomon, and through his father David, “The steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord” (Psalm 37:23). He also says that the spirit of the Lord is leading and guiding us to a brighter path that gets brighter and brighter as the noonday sun (Proverbs 4:18).
Then Solomon said that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9:10). I'm telling you this is where you start; you fear the Lord. What I mean by that, is Jesus said, don't fear man. He said to fear the one that can throw both your soul and your body into hell (Matthew 10:28). It's what Jesus said. You're not going to hell if you believe in Jesus.
GETTING IN STEP WITH GOD
I still fear God, and that's the beginning of wisdom. When I started to do that, I started to live my life in the fear of the Lord; things started to come to me. I didn't have to search for them anymore. You can gain understanding, but I'm telling you right now, if you would just do something for someone else and let that be your first step, your light is going to light up; your path is going to light up.
In some languages when you translate; “The steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord,” it actually means that “each step is numbered in sequence,” and I saw this when I was in Heaven, but it's not taught down here. It sounds kind of spooky that each one of your steps is preordained, but you can get into synchronization with that, and your life is going to change. Thank you, Becca, for saying that because your Grandma has touched my life. She influenced me too. She prayed for me. She would call me and cry and pray for me, and she would tell me, don't give up, Kevin, don't back off. And I said I don’t want to play this anymore. I was just so frustrated with the way the system was set up down here, and she understood that, but she was a history maker. She didn't have her own TV show or anything like that. She never wrote a book, but she was a very powerful woman of God. Thank you for sharing it.
If Christ is unfolding in you and it doesn't have to do with your previous life, then that means there must be some sort of expansion, and you're going to get better every day. You're going to grow and mature, and it's going to get better. It's not going to get worse because Paul is talking about that we're not yielding to our old life, that Christ is unfolding inside of us. Every day we're going to get better. Whatever you did today, and you messed up, you got to understand that God is going to help you and you're going to be better tomorrow.
How have you noticed that Christ is unfolding in you, and is expanding and increasing in size?
Every day when I wake up, I'm an improvement. I have improved and matured in so many ways. I woke up this morning with more revelation than I did yesterday.
It's like something happens at night because the Spirit, doesn't sleep. He's just wanting to reveal things to you. I had dreams last night about my future and then today while I was traveling, I actually remember weeks ago having the dream of the flight that I was on. I actually had already dreamt that weeks ago, yet last night I dreamt things that are for the future, and I know they're going to happen. I'm not even worried about it.
The history maker is inside of you, and He wants you to just get in step with Him.
The first step could be just helping someone else. That will get you on the right track. It could be something very small, but remember, you are influential; you can influence people. It might be just the person beside you in your Warrior Fellowship. If God speaks to you that you're supposed to pray for somebody in your fellowship, then at the proper time you do that.
Kathi:
Well, it's one of my favorite scriptures; I'm sure we all love it, Jesus Christ in us, the hope of glory. Like The Passion Translation says, unfolding inside of us. I just had a visual of the last few years a real emphasis on core training. It's not just about people who work out, like they want to have big biceps, and be really strong, but if that core isn't strong so there's been a lot of teaching on core training, like making sure your core is strong. Then I was just seeing how that relates to us in the Spirit as well if we don't have a revelation that Jesus Christ really is in us, then we might be lifting a lot of weight, but we're not going to have that strength to carry it. So we do change history when we carry that revelation that God invested everything in having Jesus in us. He banked on that. He shed His blood; He gave His only begotten Son so that Jesus Christ could be in us and we could have that hope of glory. You might have all this going on around you, but when you say, no, wait a minute, Jesus is in me, He's my hope of glory. You know that the creator of the universe is in you, and you protect that revelation, you guard it; you're making sure that you're representing the body of Christ, and that you're a steward over that. You're saying my part is going to be on track. I'm not going to just have this fuzzy revelation. I'm going to contend for the glory that was paid for to be a part of my story. I'm going to make sure that when I leave, I'm leaving a clear, clean foundation. Even in the Old Testament, it says that when the foundation was laid, they rejoiced, they celebrated over the foundation. How important is the foundation? It's so cool that God's just bringing that back to us, that it's not insignificant, that we spend time reminding ourselves of who's in us.
Remember that who is in you came as fire one day: on the Day of Pentecost. Remember that one day there was an earthquake when the Holy Spirit came, and there was a rushing wind when the Holy Spirit came? So they saw that, these tongues of fire on their heads, and so he came, and he baptized them. And you have to also remember that they had utterances that they spoke in other languages, they spoke in tongues that day, and they were all in one accord. You have to remember that the Holy Spirit that's in you is much more powerful than what we see. Just like Kathi said, “You have to remind yourself and set those things before you.”
PRAYER:
Holy Spirit, You can baptize all around the earth right now, right now, in every Warrior Fellowship. Come with Your fire. Come, come with fire. Come with the holy fire right now. Come with revelation right now. May the books be open and may all the people see their individual books right now, Lord. That You were just revealed by Your Spirit, their books and their purpose and the plan that You have for them, that they are valuable. Holy Spirit, just be that lawyer, that advocate right now in the name of Jesus and defend, come, and counsel each individual right now by Your Spirit in the name of Jesus. Amen.
1. Discuss how the revelation of Christ in us changes people’s behavior versus us trying to make people behave.
2. Discuss how religion can make it frustrating for you to do anything correctly because there are so many dos and don'ts versus Jesus in you who wants you to have freedom and life.
3. Pray with one another and for anyone with specific needs or prayer requests.
