Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Unity as a Spiritual Work, Not Human Achievement
- Unity is Supernatural:

- “Unity is not achievable with our own human efforts... Unity is the fruit of a spiritual work.” (00:54)
- Pastor Phil emphasizes that true unity cannot be achieved by human will or effort; it's the fruit of the Spirit, a product of surrender to God.
- The Will and the Crown:
- The battleground is not between God and the devil (a false dichotomy), but over who controls our will, which is depicted as our "crown".
- “The battle that's going on in the earth realm is over our will.... Your will is your crown.” (04:44)
- “Nothing can happen on the earth without your will giving it permission.” (04:55, Dr. Anita: 07:01)
- The battleground is not between God and the devil (a false dichotomy), but over who controls our will, which is depicted as our "crown".
- Choice over Free Will:
- There’s no true “free will” — choices always carry consequences. Our will is a “will of choice.”
- “You do not [have a free will]. The Bible doesn't teach you free will.... Everything you choose has a consequence.” (06:29)
- There’s no true “free will” — choices always carry consequences. Our will is a “will of choice.”
2. The Anointing For Unity Flows From Honor
- Psalms 133 as Blueprint:
- Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity... it is like the precious oil on the head... (10:25)
- Honor as Currency for Oil:
- The flow of the anointing (oil) starts at the head with honor and streams down.
- “The currency for oil is honor... The oil you want down here starts by honoring and pouring it on the head.” (18:05-18:32)
- Honor for leadership, one another, legacy, and the house releases unity.
- “Honor begins where offense ends.” (27:52)
- The flow of the anointing (oil) starts at the head with honor and streams down.
3. Diversity and Unity: Not Uniformity
- Embracing Difference:
- The church is called to unity, not uniformity. Diversity is not compromise.
- “We are one, but not the same. Undivided yet diverse. One, but not clones.” (20:14, Dr. Anita)
- “Uniformity isn't holiness. Diversity isn't compromise. And patience is not permission, but indeed, love at work.” (20:56, Dr. Anita)
- The church is called to unity, not uniformity. Diversity is not compromise.
- Patience with Growth:
- The pace of spiritual growth and holiness varies by person—unity is supernatural and must accommodate difference.
4. Culture Mandate: Education, Entertainment, Economics
- Salt, Light, City on a Hill (Education, Entertainment, Economics):
- Pastor Phil reframes Jesus' metaphors as directives for cultural influence:
- “Salt... is education... knowledge, ideology.... Light is entertainment.... The city on a hill is finances.” (22:00–25:09)
- Hollywood (Los Angeles) is a hub for all three — the church is strategically positioned for cultural impact.
- “We are responsible to educate our world, our people, our children... We have forfeited education.” (22:28, Dr. Anita)
- “God is about to release... anointing... stepping into areas of influence and favor.” (24:49, Dr. Anita)
- Pastor Phil reframes Jesus' metaphors as directives for cultural influence:
5. Transition from Force to Flow
- No More Toil, Find the Flow:
- Supernatural unity and effectiveness come not by striving but by finding the flow of God's anointing.
- “It’s no longer force, it’s now flow... Find your flow.” (16:25, 38:33, repeated throughout)
- The “oil” symbolizes ease, favor, and supernatural enablement in contrast to human striving.
- Supernatural unity and effectiveness come not by striving but by finding the flow of God's anointing.
6. Revival and Tipping Points
- Spiritual Tipping Point Defined:
- “That mysterious moment when with minimum movement, a miraculous momentum is set in motion.” (31:16, 32:09)
- Revival will be marked by sudden, supernatural breakthroughs after seasons of faithfulness (“minimum movement, maximum momentum”).
- “God is not waiting for us to get unified. He's waiting for us to get the oil.” (31:00)
7. Handling Offense and Embracing Messiness
- *Offense Blocks the Oil:
- “The oil flows where offenses stop... Unity is supernatural, because we're naturally easily offended.” (44:51)
- Work through relational issues; real unity is formed through forgiveness and humility.
- “The offense is always the same, but the impact depends on what side of the eye you're looking at.” (78:40)
- Patience for New Converts and Cultural Messiness:
- The coming revival will bring in people with “baggage and mess.” The church must balance grace and conviction.
- “We're going to have to learn how to have individual conviction without using our personal convictions to condemn others.” (61:06)
- The coming revival will bring in people with “baggage and mess.” The church must balance grace and conviction.
8. Holy Spirit Guidance Over Legalism
- Acts 15 - Example of Navigating Chaos:
- The early church faced chaos over inclusion of Gentiles; the solution was to “seem good to us and the Holy Ghost...” and reduce requirements to essentials (idols, health, sexual morality).
- “If he can't guide them... we sure enough cannot. We need it to be said, it seemed good to us and the Holy Ghost.” (62:14)
- The early church faced chaos over inclusion of Gentiles; the solution was to “seem good to us and the Holy Ghost...” and reduce requirements to essentials (idols, health, sexual morality).
- Rely on the Holy Spirit for Conviction:
- “Just ask the Holy Ghost... If the Holy Ghost says, I'm not comfortable with this, say, 'It seems good to me and the Holy Ghost, we're not going to watch this.'” (76:33)
9. Healing, Sexual Ethics, and the Power of the Oil
- Sacredness of Sexuality:
- Ties sexual morality to stewardship—a call to honor the body and soul.
- “There are two wombs that produce life... the earth is the Lord’s... the sweet, precious, sacred co-creator womb of a woman... Don't cross the wires and think that sex is about your pleasure. Thank God for that, but sex is about procreation.” (66:44–68:01)
- Acknowledges the pain and baggage many bring; encourages patience, compassion, and trust in the Holy Spirit’s sanctifying work.
- Ties sexual morality to stewardship—a call to honor the body and soul.
10. Calling, Legacy, and Servanthood
- It’s Not About Who Gets the Credit:
- Personal testimony: “Do you care who gets the credit?” (50:08)
- The greatest breakthroughs come for those who serve, honor, and don’t seek the limelight.
- “If you say, I don’t care who gets the credit… the line is so short… and I can tell you Pastor Joel has sold 40 million books… I got my DNA on nearly every page... Is my name in there? No. But I know I got to touch the world.” (53:29, Dr. Anita)
11. Practical Steps – Finding and Keeping the Flow (Oil)
- Find your flow—stop striving, align with God and your community, live in honor, allow the Holy Spirit to guide.
- When facing offense or relational friction, pursue reconciliation and humility:
- “If your brother offends you, go to him, go to them and make peace...” (77:19)
- The promise: “If you find your flow, the oil will flow. You'll live in the commanded blessing.... Be a healer, not a judger.” (76:33–81:51)
