👓 Quick take (31 Oct 2025): When God wants to warn and deliver, He sometimes asks His people to do strange acts—prophetic signs that confront our trust in human strength. Isaiah walked “stripped and barefoot” for three years as a sign and portent against Egypt and Cush (Isa 20), exposing Judah’s misplaced alliances. We trace that pattern through Isa 28:21 (“His strange act”), 2 Sam 5 (the sound in the mulberry trees), and Jesus’ teaching to speak to mountains—and apply it to Kingdom building today. You’ll discover:-- Kingdom Finance defined: partnering with Jesus to destroy the works of the devil (1 Jn 3:8). -- Isaiah 20—sign & portent: why Isaiah’s embodied prophecy confronting political trust in Egypt/Cush—and what that means for us in a season of separation and judgement. -- God’s “strange acts” (Isa 28:21 ): breakthroughs often flow through counter-intuitive obedience. -- Hearing before acting: David waits for the sound of marching in the trees (2 Sam 5:19 –25)—heaven moves first, then we advance. -- Faith that works (Jas 2:26 ): obedience turns belief into impact; faith speaks (Mk 11:22 –24) and abides (Jn 15:7). -- Mustard-seed logic (Mt 17:20 ; 21:21 ): act and speak before you see; mountains move afterward. -- A practical pattern for reform: God speaks → we hear & wait → we obey in action → we speak in faith → we abide → breakthrough (systems shift, blessing flows). 👀 Watch full session — Timestamps
