00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:06.240
Recording in progress. All right, so raise your hand if you were at Supernatural Saturday

2
00:00:06.880 --> 00:00:11.680
yesterday. Guys, all day yesterday I thought it was Sunday. Very interesting. I don't know why

3
00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:16.160
because I did Supernatural Saturday, but then for whatever reason, because I was traveling,

4
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:25.200
I lost track of all of the time continuum. So I did not know when it was. Did not know what

5
00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:44.640
was going on. Lots of hands going up. Keep them going. Okay. Lots, lots of people. Okay,

6
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:50.480
go ahead and put those hands down. Put the hands down. Guys, yesterday I was just rambling on and

7
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:56.080
on during Supernatural Saturday. And I said something incorrectly. And then later on Holy

8
00:00:56.080 --> 00:01:01.920
Spirit was just like, Hey, you said that wrong. And I was like, Oh yes, you're right. So I said

9
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:08.240
from resurrection to Pentecost was 40 days, actually 50 days, you guys, 50 days. So if

10
00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:12.000
you're going to do that activation of, you know, praying in your bed before you get up, I said,

11
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.120
do it for 40 days, do it for 50 days, add another 10 days in there. 50 obviously is an amazing

12
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:24.320
number. It means a lot, has a lot of significance spiritually. Make sure that you, um, that you,

13
00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:31.840
uh, add that extra 10 days on because 50, I just turned 50. I'm in what we call Jubilee. This is my

14
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:38.640
Jubilee year. And, um, and it's been phenomenal guys, six months in so much movement, so much

15
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:46.720
breakthrough. And so I believe if you do anything to activate yourself spiritually for 50 days,

16
00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:51.520
let's just, it's not a formula, but it's an invitation. If you do that, I believe that you're

17
00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:58.720
going to have some significant breakthrough. David and I purpose in our hearts years ago,

18
00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:08.160
when we were having a paradigm shift in 2009, God invited us to do two fifties, 100,

19
00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:15.040
100 days of morning prayer at five o'clock in the morning. And we did that and we had

20
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.480
crazy stuff happen, such significant breakthrough, such downloads, incredible, incredible, incredible

21
00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:26.640
stuff. You know, the Bible says that we should provoke one another to good works. And so I'm

22
00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:32.000
here to prime your pump. I'm here just priming your spiritual pump, provoking you to spiritual

23
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.040
things, provoking you to good works. Remember good works can't come unless they come from a good God.

24
00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:41.440
There's nothing good in you. The Bible says there's no good thing in us. There's only him

25
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:45.920
that's in us that is good. And so it's important that we understand that in our flesh, we're not

26
00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:51.120
going to do anything. What's John 15 say? You're not going to do anything apart from me. You can

27
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:58.080
do no thing, nothing, but with me, you can, what bear much fruit guys. This is eternal fruit. This

28
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.320
is a temporary fruit. This is kind of the fruit that remains. It's the kind of fruit that is

29
00:03:02.320 --> 00:03:06.800
forever for eternity. That's the kind of fruit that's good fruit. Everything else is just

30
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:15.120
rusting. It's just rotting. Anytime you get really, really, really freaked out by all the

31
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.720
stuff that's going on in your life. I told my daughter this yesterday at the airport, I said,

32
00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:27.360
well, you can't take it with you. You can't people have tried. You ever seen those tombs of the

33
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:33.120
Pharaohs? They packed them with all kinds of goodies, y'all all kinds of riches and wealth.

34
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.440
And because they thought that they were going to get to use it in the afterlife.

35
00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:41.920
Guess what? It's still there. Besides the people that came and raided the tombs and stole it.

36
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:47.280
They even, they even put living people in there with them because that's how significant they

37
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.920
thought their lives were that they wanted to have their servants and other people that were

38
00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:56.400
lower than them. When they woke up on the other side of eternity, they wanted to have those people

39
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:01.520
still serving them and helping them. So they had those people buried alive. That's a really,

40
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:09.360
really morbid story, but also true. So you can't take it with you. Can't none of it. So anytime you

41
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.600
get your panties in a wad about something that's temporal, I want you to remind yourself, Oh, you

42
00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:19.920
know what? This is a temporary situation and I'm an eternal being. It's a temporary situation and

43
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:26.000
I'm an eternal being. That means that this can't last forever, but I'm gonna, that means this can't

44
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:31.120
last forever, but God's love is gonna his peace, his joy. What are the things that are going to be

45
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:36.480
eternal? Faith, hope, and love, baby. And so we already know that. And the greatest of these is

46
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:42.240
love. And so the things that we do in love, those are eternal things. Those make eternal impact.

47
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.800
The only treasure that you're laying up in heaven is people, right? That is the treasure. That's

48
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.040
God's heart. That's his treasure. That's all he really cares about is his family. That's all he

49
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:58.080
ever wanted was a family. And so when we do anything that impacts a person's life for eternity,

50
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.960
you know, a temporal situation that we're helping solve for them, but it's showing them the goodness

51
00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:09.840
and love of God that's impacting their life for eternity. And guess what? We just made an internal

52
00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:18.960
and an internal impact on that person. Eternal and internal, right? Good stuff. And guess who

53
00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:23.520
will lead you into more and more and more opportunities to have internal and eternal

54
00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:29.440
impact? Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit's already leading and guiding every single one of you.

55
00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:33.760
I want you to raise your hand because we're celebrating the feast of Pentecost today.

56
00:05:33.760 --> 00:05:37.840
If you read Acts chapter two, you see, this is the day that they were in the upper room.

57
00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:42.400
They were in the places of worship. They were in the place of solitude. They were shut away.

58
00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:47.280
They were waiting the promise that Jesus spoken in the book of John saying that he was going to

59
00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:51.600
send another. They're pretty soon. They weren't going to see him physically on the earth anymore,

60
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.000
but that's okay. He was going to send one that could be with them and also in them.

61
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:04.400
So they were waiting for the indwelling, the arrival of this person that was going to be with

62
00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:10.960
them and in them Holy Spirit. And it says, and when the days of Pentecost, the day of Pentecost

63
00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:15.280
was fully come, what was that? That was the feast of Pentecost. And what's fully come means it's

64
00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:21.040
here. It's arrived. There's only one other time in the Bible that that language is used in its

65
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:26.000
original translation. And that is at the birth of Jesus and the original Greek that the,

66
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:32.320
that the new Testament is primarily written in. You will see that fully come fully come wording,

67
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:39.760
meaning that the days have been fulfilled, right? And we're also, we see that language when Mary

68
00:06:39.760 --> 00:06:44.960
gives birth to Jesus. So the birth of the Messiah and the birth of the church, do you guys think

69
00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:48.960
that's an accident? Do you think that it's an accident that we only see that language at the

70
00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:56.480
birth of Messiah, a long awaited promise coming to into being and also the birth of the church

71
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.800
that should show you that the birth of the church is a very significant event.

72
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:07.280
And guess who the church is. That church is you. That church is me. That church is built on the

73
00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:13.680
rock of Jesus Christ so that the opposing forces, the gates of hell can not prevail against it.

74
00:07:13.760 --> 00:07:19.440
Right. Yes. So raise your hand. If you've experienced your own personal Pentecost

75
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.400
where Holy spirit's not just with you, but you feel like you've been baptized in the spirit

76
00:07:24.400 --> 00:07:29.200
with the evidence of your prayer language, raise your hand. I don't care if you've only said two

77
00:07:29.200 --> 00:07:32.640
words in your prayer language. I don't say, I don't care if it sounds like gobbledy goop.

78
00:07:32.640 --> 00:07:39.520
I don't care if it sounds like baby talk, raise your hand. If you've had any kind of experience

79
00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:45.920
with speaking in tongues is what people call it. Prayer language is a little bit more politically

80
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.520
correct. And the reason why you guys, cause a lot of people have been abused by the idea of

81
00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:54.560
speaking in tongues. I remember, remember in supernatural Saturday, a lot of you guys were

82
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.960
there. If you weren't there, go listen to the replay. I spent two summers in a row with my

83
00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:04.480
grandmother who was Pentecostal. And guess what? They try to give you a Holy spirit rub down to

84
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:10.240
a Holy spirit rub down to get you to receive the baptism of the Holy spirit. They got the

85
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:15.440
hands all over you. They breathe in their bad breath in your face. They're telling you to

86
00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:19.680
sit up, you know, sit down, stand up, raise your hands, put your hands down.

87
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:24.000
It's like the hokey pokey, turn yourself around and maybe you get the Holy spirit.

88
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:29.200
Okay. And I was just a kid and I was super traumatized by this. Cause guess who didn't

89
00:08:29.200 --> 00:08:36.159
get the Holy spirit? Me at one point, I just started faking it friends because I was just

90
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:41.440
like, I'm done with this. I'm not doing this anymore. Okay. People are spitting on me.

91
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:47.600
All kinds of stuff is happening. And I just, and you guys, it's like sitting at a dinner table

92
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.680
with someone who was raised in the military. You're not leaving that table until you eat your

93
00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:56.560
food. You're not leaving that altar until you speak in tongues. That's what's going to happen

94
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:02.640
if you're in one of these old time Pentecostal churches, does anyone else have that experience?

95
00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:07.200
Or is it just me being traumatized as a little kid? And you guys, I got it in my mind that it

96
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:14.480
wasn't actually real because like I said, on Saturday, a lot of the people that I knew that

97
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:21.440
had this gift of the spirit were also pretty mean in real life. They were kind of mean people

98
00:09:22.400 --> 00:09:26.960
outside of the church environment, of course. And so I was like, Oh, I'm not buying it.

99
00:09:27.520 --> 00:09:32.160
And so fast forward and we'll let some of our other leaders tell you about their experience

100
00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:38.000
when they received this gift, this personal gift of their prayer language, speaking in tongues.

101
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.240
Remember that's what Pentecost was all about waiting for Holy spirit to show up. And one of

102
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:48.160
the things that happened corporately to all of them was a cloven tongue as a fire sat upon each

103
00:09:48.160 --> 00:09:53.360
of them. And they all began to speak in other languages as the spirit gave them the ability.

104
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:57.440
That's what the Bible says. Okay. So we'll let some of our other leaders,

105
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.760
because everyone's experience with this is very different.

106
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.820
So I told you that in my twenties, after, after I met Jesus, that's important.

107
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.840
After I met Jesus, after I was filled with his love, after he delivered me

108
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.040
from the situation that I was in, after he healed my body, I was in my

109
00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:15.600
living room and I was worshiping.

110
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.280
I think that a lot of times that is a common denominator to a lot of

111
00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:24.760
people's baptism in the spirit story is that they were worshiping.

112
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.920
I was just in love with Jesus and I was just worshiping.

113
00:10:28.920 --> 00:10:30.520
I wasn't trying to get anything.

114
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:31.520
Okay.

115
00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:33.120
I was just very thankful.

116
00:10:33.280 --> 00:10:34.480
I was very grateful.

117
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:35.520
Okay.

118
00:10:35.520 --> 00:10:40.080
And because he's a good, good, good father, the Bible says, if you being

119
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.720
evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more does

120
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.960
your heavenly father know how to give the Holy spirit to those who ask him?

121
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:50.160
But here's the thing.

122
00:10:50.640 --> 00:10:53.220
And this is what was not taught to me as a child, because those

123
00:10:53.220 --> 00:10:54.840
Pentecostal people didn't know this.

124
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:56.600
Right.

125
00:10:57.160 --> 00:11:00.080
They're always looking for some reason why you're not receiving this gift.

126
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.680
Remember gifts are not deserved.

127
00:11:01.680 --> 00:11:02.720
They're not earned.

128
00:11:03.680 --> 00:11:04.560
They're just received.

129
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.240
So they had me doing all kinds of gymnastics, trying to receive, trying

130
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:15.280
to be worthy, repent, pray, do this, do that, all the things instead of

131
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.680
just what believing in receiving by faith.

132
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.440
Why do you think all those people were sitting up in that upper room?

133
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.160
They believe what Jesus said to them about, Hey, go Terry in Jerusalem.

134
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.120
Until you're in dude with power from on high, basically saying you can't

135
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.920
do what's coming next in your flesh.

136
00:11:32.920 --> 00:11:36.440
You're going to need power, resident power.

137
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.920
The Bible says that the Holy spirit is like rivers of living

138
00:11:41.920 --> 00:11:43.800
water flowing out of your belly.

139
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:46.640
The problem is a lot of people want it to flow out of their

140
00:11:46.640 --> 00:11:49.280
mind, not their belly, right?

141
00:11:49.520 --> 00:11:52.800
You let your human reasoning get all involved and it's really easy to do.

142
00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:56.000
And that's why the Bible says that the human reasoning is the enemy of

143
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:01.600
the supernatural or God, I know friends.

144
00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:04.720
And I really kind of went back and forth about whether we should even

145
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.120
celebrate this feast as a community.

146
00:12:07.520 --> 00:12:10.160
You know, Sunday night activation is very supernatural.

147
00:12:10.160 --> 00:12:12.000
It's very school of the Holy spirit already.

148
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.840
And I didn't want to chase people off, especially people that just have a lot

149
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.160
of, you know, unfinished theology.

150
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.400
In their mind about the ministry of Holy spirit and what that looks like.

151
00:12:23.400 --> 00:12:26.040
And so if that's you, please don't pull away.

152
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.240
We still can help you get married.

153
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:29.880
We can agree to disagree.

154
00:12:29.880 --> 00:12:34.320
If this is beyond, you know, what your theology tells you is true or right.

155
00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:38.760
We're teaching from a place of where we are as leaders here.

156
00:12:39.040 --> 00:12:41.480
And we want people to be empowered to not just live in their

157
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:42.640
flesh, but live in the spirit.

158
00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:45.520
And once again, those of you that are following after the spirit, you're not

159
00:12:45.520 --> 00:12:48.400
going to fulfill the lust of the flesh, continue to fall off of the spirit.

160
00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:49.280
That's a daily thing.

161
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.320
That's an everyday get up and do it again and again and again and again.

162
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.920
So if your prayer language is not activated, then activate the word of God

163
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.960
and declarations when you're laying in bed for that 50 days, begin

164
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:03.800
to pray the word over yourself.

165
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.120
You're built on that rock.

166
00:13:05.160 --> 00:13:07.040
The word was with God and it was God.

167
00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:09.600
And it came, became flesh and dwelt among us.

168
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:11.200
Jesus is the word.

169
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:12.000
He is the truth.

170
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:12.840
He is the life.

171
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:13.640
Okay.

172
00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:14.280
It's the word.

173
00:13:14.280 --> 00:13:15.520
He's the way he's the truth.

174
00:13:15.520 --> 00:13:16.080
He's the life.

175
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:22.240
Be declaring as you feel led.

176
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:24.720
And by the way, that's Holy spirit leading you.

177
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.560
So let's talk about that for a second.

178
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:34.480
Have you ever just started praying with your human understanding?

179
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.760
You're praying for all the things that you know how to pray for.

180
00:13:37.520 --> 00:13:40.520
Oh, I pray for my dog and I pray for my cat and I pray for my grandma.

181
00:13:40.520 --> 00:13:42.480
And I pray for this job that I don't like that.

182
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:43.720
My boss would be nicer to me.

183
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:45.400
And you're praying with your understanding.

184
00:13:45.880 --> 00:13:49.240
And then all of a sudden, as you start praying, something starts

185
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:53.600
happening where you start praying for things from here and not here.

186
00:13:54.560 --> 00:13:56.880
All of a sudden you find yourself praying for things that

187
00:13:56.880 --> 00:13:57.840
you weren't thinking about.

188
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:00.200
Where's that coming?

189
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.320
That's coming up out of your spirit.

190
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:02.800
Isn't it?

191
00:14:03.520 --> 00:14:06.560
That's the same way that this gift of your prayer language happens.

192
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:08.320
Same exact way.

193
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.120
Friends, raise your hand.

194
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:14.760
If you start praying in the, in the human reasoning, the things, you

195
00:14:14.760 --> 00:14:17.560
know, your understanding, and then all of a sudden you're praying for

196
00:14:17.560 --> 00:14:21.000
all kinds of things that you had never initially sat down to pray for.

197
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.720
You find yourself saying all kinds of stuff, God, I pray for this person

198
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.560
and that person in this situation, in that situation, once again, in

199
00:14:28.560 --> 00:14:32.600
English, because maybe you don't have your prayer language for some of

200
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.920
you, that turns into you starting to pray in the spirit with your

201
00:14:34.920 --> 00:14:36.400
prayer language too, right?

202
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.040
Once again, you're not praying from here.

203
00:14:39.040 --> 00:14:41.880
You started here and now you're praying from here.

204
00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:43.600
I don't know if you guys can see me.

205
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.040
I'm pointing to my spirit, to my belly.

206
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.160
I feel like I disappeared, but I'm here somewhere.

207
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:51.600
Okay.

208
00:14:51.640 --> 00:14:52.040
There I am.

209
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:52.840
All right.

210
00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:54.800
Do you guys see how that works?

211
00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:58.200
Right.

212
00:14:59.000 --> 00:14:59.960
So who's leading?

213
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.200
You in those prayers that weren't coming from your mind, Holy Spirit, Holy

214
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:08.940
Spirit's leading you in those prayers, those thoughts and ideas are coming

215
00:15:08.940 --> 00:15:12.660
from Holy Spirit, and that's exactly how the words, when you pray in your

216
00:15:12.660 --> 00:15:15.480
prayer language or speak in tongues, that's exactly how they come to.

217
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:19.720
I've heard lots of different testimonies for me.

218
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:23.600
I just started singing when I opened my mouth and into, in a foreign language to

219
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:29.160
me, it was foreign to me, but for other people, I've heard them say it felt like

220
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:32.200
it felt like a river coming up and then they just couldn't contain it.

221
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:33.400
They opened their mouth and out.

222
00:15:33.400 --> 00:15:38.120
It came other people, just like I just told you with about the praying, they

223
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.160
started praying in English with their understanding and pretty soon their

224
00:15:41.160 --> 00:15:45.040
tongue got kind of heavy and there's just saying a couple of sloppy words

225
00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:48.600
that aren't really words, right?

226
00:15:48.900 --> 00:15:53.680
As the spirit is taking more control of their language and they just went with

227
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:53.920
it.

228
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:58.760
A hundred percent of what I think happens to every single person when they

229
00:15:58.760 --> 00:16:04.480
surrender to this experience is that their mind tells them that they're crazy.

230
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.280
I will tell you after I had this experience, I literally either with my

231
00:16:11.280 --> 00:16:14.960
flesh or the enemy, one or the other telling me, Oh, now it's good.

232
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:16.080
Now it's happened, Jackie.

233
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.200
You're you've completely lost your mind.

234
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.120
You're mentally ill.

235
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:20.680
You've totally gone crazy.

236
00:16:20.920 --> 00:16:25.400
You guys know that one of the, one of the things in the DSM four, which is now the

237
00:16:25.400 --> 00:16:30.400
DSM five, which is the diagnostic manual to, to diagnose mental illness.

238
00:16:30.400 --> 00:16:33.560
That's a diagnostic manual in order to diagnose mental illness.

239
00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:34.120
How do I know this?

240
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:35.680
Cause I went to school to be a psychologist.

241
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:40.880
One of the things in there that is a criteria for being mentally ill is

242
00:16:40.920 --> 00:16:42.480
thinking that you hear from God.

243
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.880
Did you guys know that thinking that God's talking to you?

244
00:16:48.920 --> 00:16:50.640
Thinking that God's talking to you.

245
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:58.320
So remember, I don't know God that well yet when this is happening to me.

246
00:16:58.920 --> 00:17:03.800
And one of the very first things I thought is, Oh, now you've done it.

247
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.920
You've crossed the bridge, baby girl.

248
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.079
You crazy.

249
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:11.560
Right.

250
00:17:11.560 --> 00:17:12.319
You're crazy.

251
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:13.440
You're in a delusion.

252
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.119
You're delusional.

253
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:16.680
Now you're making stuff up.

254
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.680
And friends, it's going to feel that way because once again, it's not coming from

255
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.800
you, it's happening in you.

256
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:26.040
It's coming out of you.

257
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:27.400
Right.

258
00:17:27.560 --> 00:17:30.960
And so you're going to have to ignore that if you want to continue to grow in

259
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.640
this and growing in this as a must.

260
00:17:32.840 --> 00:17:35.480
So some people say their tongue just gets heavy and they're starting to say some

261
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.600
gobbledygook and then they just go with it.

262
00:17:39.280 --> 00:17:39.680
Okay.

263
00:17:40.080 --> 00:17:45.040
Other people say that they hear strange words in their mind, in their head.

264
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.200
Like they hear words that are not English words, or if you're, if you're a native

265
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:54.160
speaker of a different language, obviously this happens, this baptism happens to

266
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.800
people, not just English speakers.

267
00:17:56.120 --> 00:18:00.000
And so you hear a language in your mind and then they just give voice to it.

268
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.400
They start repeating the words or the, or the sounds I should say that they're

269
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:06.880
hearing that they hear in their head.

270
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:12.160
So raise your hand again, if you have had this experience where you have spoken in

271
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.120
your prayer language once, twice, three times, you do it every day.

272
00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:16.600
Now.

273
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.080
Come look at this having David's here.

274
00:18:20.080 --> 00:18:21.000
You guys were all here.

275
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:21.880
The team's here.

276
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:29.000
Looking to see, keep your hands up, please.

277
00:18:32.360 --> 00:18:35.160
So about 62, keep putting your hands up.

278
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:35.880
Don't take them down.

279
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:36.440
Just leave them up.

280
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.680
63, 68.

281
00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:41.120
There's 187 of a 70.

282
00:18:41.120 --> 00:18:41.800
Keep on going.

283
00:18:41.800 --> 00:18:43.720
72, 73.

284
00:18:44.600 --> 00:18:45.960
You can't all be crazy, right?

285
00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:48.840
76, 77, 79.

286
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:50.560
Come on, keep them going up.

287
00:18:50.600 --> 00:18:51.160
Let's see them.

288
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:51.960
Don't be shy.

289
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:52.920
Don't be afraid.

290
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.640
Some of you just did it once or twice and then you chickened out.

291
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.720
Didn't speak with your prayer language anymore.

292
00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:59.360
You didn't get any more teaching on it.

293
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:01.160
You didn't really know how to use it.

294
00:19:01.520 --> 00:19:02.680
Just so you know, it's always there.

295
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:03.240
It's still there.

296
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:04.960
Now you can reactivate it tonight.

297
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:05.760
It's always been there.

298
00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:06.800
It hasn't left you guys.

299
00:19:06.800 --> 00:19:08.360
The gifts of God are without repentance.

300
00:19:08.360 --> 00:19:10.680
He doesn't remove them after you receive them.

301
00:19:11.040 --> 00:19:12.280
And remember it's about receiving.

302
00:19:12.280 --> 00:19:14.440
It's not about earning 90.

303
00:19:14.600 --> 00:19:17.440
So when I was a kid, I always thought for a minute, I thought there was

304
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.600
something wrong with me because it wasn't happening for me, but

305
00:19:19.600 --> 00:19:20.520
it's happening for others.

306
00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:22.880
And then pretty soon after that, I thought there was something

307
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:23.880
wrong with everyone else.

308
00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:26.400
First, I thought there was something wrong with me, but then I took a

309
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:27.760
deeper look at the people around me.

310
00:19:27.760 --> 00:19:29.600
I'm like, maybe there's something wrong with them.

311
00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:30.640
Okay.

312
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:38.160
And so regardless of what happened, I did not end up really allowing this

313
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:46.200
gift to fully be received by me until I was until 15, 16 years later.

314
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:47.800
Okay.

315
00:19:48.080 --> 00:19:49.080
Yes, it's okay.

316
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.040
Uh, Margaret, it is for your private edification.

317
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.320
It is for your private spiritual edification for sure.

318
00:19:55.600 --> 00:19:58.440
There are different forms of tongues that happen corporately in the church

319
00:19:58.440 --> 00:19:59.880
service intercession and in.

320
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:08.400
some interpretation as well. Okay. All right. So friends, once again, you have to ask and you have

321
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:14.800
to receive by faith. You have to ask and receive by faith. And that means if you believe it,

322
00:20:14.800 --> 00:20:21.680
that you've received it, then you have it. And then you begin to activate it. Okay. And so we're

323
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:25.600
going to do a little bit of an activation here. David's going to lead that, but I just want to

324
00:20:25.600 --> 00:20:31.360
talk about a couple more things. Okay. For those of you that did not raise your hand,

325
00:20:31.360 --> 00:20:37.440
you didn't raise your hand. Okay. As having ever had this experience, I just want to see who else

326
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:42.960
here, raise your hand. If you desire it deeply, if you have desired it, if you do desire it,

327
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:48.720
you just desire it, raise your hand. If you desire it, but it has not fully happened to you before

328
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:56.960
you haven't fully been able to activate that. Come on, get your hands up. Let me see.

329
00:20:57.600 --> 00:21:02.320
There are about 75 of you that said, yeah, I've had this experience. And now there's

330
00:21:03.600 --> 00:21:09.280
33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39.

331
00:21:09.280 --> 00:21:19.200
And you guys, I want you to be fully honest. Okay. This is important for tonight to be fully

332
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:25.440
honest. Okay. Go ahead and put your hands down for those of you that said, yeah,

333
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:29.840
it hasn't happened. And for those of you that has happened, start just releasing your faith

334
00:21:29.840 --> 00:21:33.120
for these people. Okay. Start releasing your faith, start praying in your prayer language,

335
00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:37.680
not unmuted. Okay. Quietly in the place where you are, if you can, if you're alone and you

336
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:42.960
feel comfortable, start praying, start praying. Let's just go ahead and prime the pump a little

337
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:47.920
bit. Okay. So I added those two numbers together of people that have received and people who want

338
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.200
to receive. And there's still a whole lot of people that didn't raise their hand for each one.

339
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:55.600
So get honest with us tonight, raise your hand. If you just think it's weird and you're not

340
00:21:55.600 --> 00:21:59.760
interested at all, and you wish we would just talk about, you know, how you can get married.

341
00:22:00.320 --> 00:22:05.600
It's okay. We're fully okay with, with that. So raise your hand. If you're just like, yeah,

342
00:22:05.600 --> 00:22:10.240
I'm not into it. I don't really believe in that. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good.

343
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:21.680
Larissa, thank you for your honesty. Love it. Love, love, love honesty. Couple people.

344
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.040
I'll also raise your hand. If you're just not sure you're like, I'm not against it,

345
00:22:25.040 --> 00:22:28.800
but I'm also really not sure I'm on the fence. I'm a skeptic. I'm kind of skeptical.

346
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:32.000
No, no. It's like, I'm not sure.

347
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:43.040
Come on. See those hands. And we bless all of you folks. We bless you. We're not offended by that

348
00:22:43.040 --> 00:22:48.560
at all. There were many years that I was in your camp as well. Trust me many, many years that I

349
00:22:48.560 --> 00:22:54.480
was in your camp and was just like, what is this sorcery? You know? And then I met Jesus

350
00:22:55.040 --> 00:23:01.840
and my heart shifted. And then when holy spirit came and I was baptized in holy spirit,

351
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:06.240
the spirit of truth, I began to see things differently, but you guys I'm 28 years in.

352
00:23:07.040 --> 00:23:17.520
Okay. Actually 29, 29 years in 29. You're 29 years old. No. Um, yes, yes I am. Um,

353
00:23:19.280 --> 00:23:23.120
okay. All right. So that's just another, let's see. That's another 11 people. Okay. There's

354
00:23:23.840 --> 00:23:27.520
still a lot of people unaccounted for that. Just don't want to raise your hands for anything.

355
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:30.480
Raise your hand. If you're against raising your hand,

356
00:23:34.560 --> 00:23:38.080
Dave is not lying. Anytime we're at any kind of thing. And they're like, Hey,

357
00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:42.000
raise your hand at this or that. He doesn't ever participate. He is not a participator

358
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:48.320
of raising his hand anyway, shape or form. Okay. I don't like to shake my neighbor's hand. I don't

359
00:23:48.320 --> 00:23:55.280
like to turn to my neighbor and tell them that, uh, he doesn't do any of that. Okay. Okay. Guys,

360
00:23:55.280 --> 00:23:59.920
thank you for your honesty. Thank you for your candor. We thank you for all of these things.

361
00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:04.400
We appreciate all of you. All right. Okay. I promise you nothing's going to get crazy weird.

362
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:09.280
Everyone's going to stay muted here. It's all good. You're not going to be subjected to something

363
00:24:09.280 --> 00:24:13.840
that makes you want to run for the Hills. Right. But I do want to break that trauma off of you.

364
00:24:13.840 --> 00:24:19.040
If you've been traumatized by this. Okay. In fact, go ahead and raise your hand. If,

365
00:24:19.040 --> 00:24:23.120
you know, part of the reason why you're skeptical is because like me, you had some earlier trauma

366
00:24:23.120 --> 00:24:28.640
with quote unquote, spirit filled people. You've had some kind of earlier trauma with people who

367
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:35.600
were overzealous. All right. They just were, they may have been, they're falling some kind

368
00:24:35.600 --> 00:24:38.880
of spirit, but you're not pretty sure that it wasn't Holy spirit or you just don't know,

369
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:43.920
or they, they probably were just, you know, uneducated in what it is that they were doing.

370
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:48.720
There's okay. There's another whole group of people there. All right. Right. You guys will

371
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:55.120
in honor of the birth of the church, which started with people receiving empowerment in this way.

372
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.840
And remember that 50 day challenge that we put out.

373
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.400
there to really prime the pump of being, following the spirit and not the flesh.

374
00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:07.780
It doesn't have to, you'd be you praying in your prayer language.

375
00:25:07.780 --> 00:25:10.720
It can be you just, just speaking the word of yourself.

376
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:13.580
You just laying there and worshiping and just surrendering to God.

377
00:25:13.580 --> 00:25:14.220
And guess what?

378
00:25:14.460 --> 00:25:18.880
That's when your prayer language might come because everyone that I've ever

379
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.520
heard, it started out with them having some moment of surrender them,

380
00:25:22.520 --> 00:25:24.040
some having some moment of worship.

381
00:25:24.300 --> 00:25:29.440
So quickly before we start this activation, um, we will let just very

382
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:33.160
quickly, we'll let our leaders that are on here, David, Bethany and candy.

383
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.580
And Kemi, I think are the only people here tonight, briefly, you guys, and

384
00:25:36.580 --> 00:25:42.280
very quickly let people know where you were and how this happened for you when

385
00:25:42.280 --> 00:25:44.680
it happened, because I know that it happened for all of you guys.

386
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:45.600
All right.

387
00:25:45.780 --> 00:25:47.760
So desiring it as the first thing.

388
00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:51.800
And if you don't desire it right now, because you're just afraid or

389
00:25:51.800 --> 00:25:53.240
unsure, that's okay.

390
00:25:53.860 --> 00:25:54.920
It's fully okay.

391
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:58.240
God knows who you are, where you are, what you need and how to get it to you.

392
00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:59.600
And so I don't want you to worry about that.

393
00:25:59.600 --> 00:26:00.100
Okay.

394
00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:00.760
All right.

395
00:26:00.760 --> 00:26:04.960
And then to all of you, you're going to be activated when David activates

396
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:09.480
you just to ask and receive, it's just very simple friends ask and receive by

397
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:13.880
what, by faith, by faith, I want to read two scriptures over you.

398
00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:17.320
If you then know how to give good and gifts, good gifts to your children, how

399
00:26:17.320 --> 00:26:21.280
much more will your father in heaven give the Holy spirit to those who ask him.

400
00:26:21.760 --> 00:26:24.280
It's just about asking, asking and receiving.

401
00:26:25.020 --> 00:26:26.840
And then there's a prayer here.

402
00:26:26.840 --> 00:26:28.120
I'm going to let David do that.

403
00:26:28.280 --> 00:26:29.480
Letting go of control.

404
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:31.080
This is harder for most of us.

405
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:36.520
I remember that night when I received this gift, I didn't know how to surrender.

406
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:40.320
I said, I said to my former husband who was with me, he said, just let go.

407
00:26:40.320 --> 00:26:43.440
I said, and I said, I don't know how, I don't know what that means.

408
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:44.920
It didn't make any sense.

409
00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:49.320
Like what it does fall down limp, like a fish, you know, like, what do you do?

410
00:26:49.320 --> 00:26:51.080
Like a dead fish that just came out of the water.

411
00:26:51.080 --> 00:26:52.000
Like, what do you do?

412
00:26:52.040 --> 00:26:53.280
You just turn into Gumby.

413
00:26:53.600 --> 00:26:54.600
Like what, what do you mean?

414
00:26:54.600 --> 00:26:55.160
Let go.

415
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:56.520
What does that mean?

416
00:26:56.840 --> 00:27:00.600
But in my head, I said to the Lord, I said, I love you.

417
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:02.440
And I want to surrender to you.

418
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:04.200
So I just, I surrender.

419
00:27:04.520 --> 00:27:05.400
And that's what I said.

420
00:27:05.800 --> 00:27:11.440
And so maybe once again, not a formula, very, very personal experience for everyone.

421
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:14.360
Um, it's not about being overtaken.

422
00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:15.400
You guys are possessed.

423
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.120
Some of you are afraid of stuff like this because you think it's being possessed.

424
00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:22.200
No, the spirit is always subject to the prophet, to the, to the person.

425
00:27:22.840 --> 00:27:23.160
Okay.

426
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:24.960
Always, you can always shut it off.

427
00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:26.040
You can always shut it down.

428
00:27:26.040 --> 00:27:27.120
You can always stop.

429
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:31.760
This is why I never was into the theology of people saying, well, you know, whenever

430
00:27:31.760 --> 00:27:34.800
you feel like it, when it comes on you, you know, you just, it doesn't come on

431
00:27:34.800 --> 00:27:36.480
you, you guys, it lives in you.

432
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:38.400
It's a very different thing.

433
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:40.640
It's about turning on and off the faucet.

434
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:41.280
And guess what?

435
00:27:41.600 --> 00:27:43.280
You're the person that turns that on or off.

436
00:27:44.080 --> 00:27:49.480
And as you grow and mature in all the gifts, not just this one, you will realize

437
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:51.640
that it's subject to you, turning it on and turning it off.

438
00:27:54.040 --> 00:27:55.480
I have lots of gifts of the spirit.

439
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:56.240
You go read about them.

440
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.800
Once again, the book of Galatians, I operate in words of wisdom, words of

441
00:28:00.800 --> 00:28:02.240
knowledge, words of prophecy.

442
00:28:02.520 --> 00:28:08.400
I operate in tongues and in diverse tongues, which is a completely different

443
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:09.600
gift than what we're talking about here.

444
00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:10.880
Interpretation of tongues.

445
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:14.240
I've operated in all of these gifts, the gifts of healing.

446
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:15.520
Well, guess what?

447
00:28:15.520 --> 00:28:16.560
That's subject to me.

448
00:28:17.080 --> 00:28:20.800
It doesn't just possess me and overtake me and force me to do it.

449
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:26.960
You know, there's an invitation to pray for someone or to release a word over

450
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.720
someone, you know, when I receive a word from the Lord for somebody, whether it's

451
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:34.440
wisdom or knowledge, I have a choice of whether or not I feel like that's

452
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.600
something that I should pray into for that person, or if it's meant to be

453
00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:42.480
spoken to them, and that all comes from good teaching and really just maturity.

454
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:46.080
And then of course, the fruit of the spirit, which is even more important,

455
00:28:46.080 --> 00:28:49.480
love and joy and peace and patience and all of those good things.

456
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:50.240
Okay, friends.

457
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:51.080
All right.

458
00:28:51.280 --> 00:28:51.840
So.

459
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:58.480
Letting go and co partnering or co laboring with the spirit.

460
00:28:58.720 --> 00:28:59.600
Really important.

461
00:28:59.760 --> 00:29:01.200
Remember we're doing the speaking.

462
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:02.720
We're like giving it sound.

463
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:05.840
We're giving it sound, but he's giving the utterance.

464
00:29:05.840 --> 00:29:09.400
Holy spirit is, so we're not going to wait for him to open our mouth.

465
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:13.120
Just like, we're not going to wait for God to open up that dating app or to,

466
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:17.640
you know, put on a nice outfit and go out to a singles event, right?

467
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:19.040
God's not going to do that for us.

468
00:29:19.040 --> 00:29:19.840
We're going to do that.

469
00:29:19.840 --> 00:29:21.480
But then what happens when we get there?

470
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:25.400
Because we're partnering, he's not writing the love story.

471
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.400
We're co-writing the love story with him.

472
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:28.520
We have to take action.

473
00:29:28.520 --> 00:29:30.040
Belief requires action.

474
00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:35.440
The Bible says, if you believe that you have received, then you will have, but

475
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:37.880
guess what belief looks like something.

476
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:38.640
It looks like action.

477
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:39.080
Doesn't it?

478
00:29:40.600 --> 00:29:44.440
And so beginning to give sound after we pray and ask God to give us this

479
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.240
gift, beginning to worship, beginning to praise God, beginning to give the

480
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.520
sound that is necessary for speech is our part.

481
00:29:53.080 --> 00:29:55.920
And they were all filled with the Holy spirit and began to speak.

482
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:57.360
They began to speak.

483
00:29:58.800 --> 00:29:59.880
They began to.

484
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.040
speak. They begin to give sound.

485
00:30:02.320 --> 00:30:05.680
They begin to speak with other languages as the spirit gave them the ability.

486
00:30:07.040 --> 00:30:09.880
Okay. All right. So what does that look like?

487
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:12.920
It means opening your mouth and beginning to speak.

488
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:17.240
And you can just like when you're praying, you can start with the understanding,

489
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:18.440
just start worshiping God,

490
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:21.320
start saying things that you understand what those words mean,

491
00:30:21.320 --> 00:30:24.600
because that's your language. And as you continue, because once again,

492
00:30:24.600 --> 00:30:26.440
you've just prayed that God would

493
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:31.480
send Holy spirit to indwell you to be with you, but also in you.

494
00:30:32.360 --> 00:30:36.160
And you guys, I'm promising you that it's probably going to feel awkward,

495
00:30:36.760 --> 00:30:38.960
but as those syllables begin to come out,

496
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:40.600
as your tongue begins to get heavier,

497
00:30:40.600 --> 00:30:44.120
you begin to hear strange syllables and sounds in your mind.

498
00:30:44.120 --> 00:30:46.880
And you begin to give those things sound. It's going to feel weird.

499
00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:49.880
Or maybe you might feel that rising up of your spirit.

500
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:54.080
That's coming up from your belly and out of your mouth, whatever happens,

501
00:30:55.080 --> 00:30:58.560
your human mind is going to probably try to rebel against it,

502
00:30:59.560 --> 00:31:03.120
thinking that you're making it happen because of this session,

503
00:31:03.120 --> 00:31:08.040
or it's all just being contrived or, you know, whatever.

504
00:31:08.560 --> 00:31:11.240
And that's why you can't overthink it because the spirit is flowing from your

505
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:16.640
belly, not your brain. Don't overthink it. Don't overthink it. Okay.

506
00:31:17.360 --> 00:31:20.880
Right. And out of your innermost being will flow rivers of living water.

507
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:25.880
John seven 38. So we've got to ignore that inner critic friends.

508
00:31:27.080 --> 00:31:30.040
Your flesh is going to whisper. You're making this up, ignore it.

509
00:31:30.600 --> 00:31:33.680
The enemy might whisper like the opposing forces, you know,

510
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:36.960
depending on if you have some trauma, remember what I said,

511
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:39.280
trauma doesn't just hurt us. It creates different versions of us.

512
00:31:39.280 --> 00:31:43.080
And we have all kinds of lies that have been sown and woundings in our hearts.

513
00:31:43.320 --> 00:31:46.920
And you might have a spiritual wounding in this area that starts to try to pipe

514
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:50.360
up and make some noise. Okay. You have to ignore it.

515
00:31:50.360 --> 00:31:55.240
You have to keep going. The flow will grow, write that down.

516
00:31:55.760 --> 00:31:58.840
It might just be a couple syllables tonight. And then tomorrow,

517
00:31:58.840 --> 00:32:01.640
remember I said the next day I woke up and said, wow, that was amazing.

518
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:03.960
I wonder if that's going to happen anymore.

519
00:32:04.320 --> 00:32:06.720
And I began to praise the Lord and it started happening again.

520
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:12.520
And then I continue to pray and it happened again. And the next week again,

521
00:32:12.520 --> 00:32:15.400
and the next month again, and then again, and again, and again,

522
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:18.480
I kept climbing the pump and guess what? There was more water there.

523
00:32:18.760 --> 00:32:20.040
There was more living water there.

524
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:25.400
And now I'm almost 30 years in and I can tell you that I love to pray in the

525
00:32:25.520 --> 00:32:28.960
spirit. Paul says, I'm glad that I pray in tongues more than all y'all.

526
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:32.840
And you can see why he would be glad, right?

527
00:32:33.320 --> 00:32:36.600
Because his human reasoning was probably always trying to tell him that God had

528
00:32:36.600 --> 00:32:39.520
forsaken and abandoned him because he was always getting arrested.

529
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:42.960
He was getting beaten. He was getting thrown in prison.

530
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:46.080
He was getting threatened with death. He was getting bit by snakes,

531
00:32:46.080 --> 00:32:49.160
bro had it hard for those of you that are like, Oh,

532
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:51.760
Paul said it's better to be single. It ain't better to be single.

533
00:32:51.760 --> 00:32:55.560
If you're Paul, Paul had a rough life. Okay.

534
00:32:55.560 --> 00:32:58.360
But he had the grace to endure what he went through.

535
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.800
And that's probably why he was praying in the spirit a lot because he was,

536
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:05.840
it's like spiritual bodybuilding for your spirit. Like, right.

537
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:10.560
It's increasing your spirit so that your flesh doesn't get in control and be

538
00:33:10.560 --> 00:33:15.280
like, you're doomed. God has forsaken you because your flesh,

539
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:17.200
it gets pretty negative really fast.

540
00:33:17.520 --> 00:33:20.640
And you can see that Paul probably could have gotten pretty negative pretty

541
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:21.120
fast.

542
00:33:21.120 --> 00:33:25.400
If he wasn't praying in the spirit and really continuing to build his spirit

543
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:26.240
man. Right.

544
00:33:28.120 --> 00:33:30.320
For those of you that have been considering whether you have the gift of

545
00:33:30.320 --> 00:33:34.760
singleness or not, just remember Paul's grace to be single,

546
00:33:34.760 --> 00:33:39.120
included snake bites and shipwrecks and beatings and imprisonments.

547
00:33:39.600 --> 00:33:42.640
He had a whole different maturity plan, didn't he? Us,

548
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:44.960
we're being matured by marriage and family.

549
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:48.960
I'm going to call God up and make sure that I stay on that plan.

550
00:33:49.320 --> 00:33:52.560
I like that plan. I like that maturity plan better than any of the others.

551
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.920
Okay. So the flow will grow. You guys

552
00:33:57.560 --> 00:34:00.960
practice daily practice daily guys.

553
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:04.360
Let's talk about it really quickly. Let's talk about the gift of healing.

554
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:05.840
I have a good friend. Raise your hand.

555
00:34:05.840 --> 00:34:09.520
If you know a guy named Jim Baker with one K not the dude that sold all the

556
00:34:09.520 --> 00:34:11.320
money back in the eighties. Okay.

557
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:15.719
Jim Baker with one K who pastors a church called Zion Christian fellowship in

558
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:19.040
Ohio. He also owns something called wealth with God. Raise your hand.

559
00:34:19.040 --> 00:34:22.480
If you know who Jim Baker is, he also teaches on grace and he teaches on healing.

560
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:25.480
If you've ever been to Bethel Redding and you've gone to the healing rooms,

561
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:28.480
the videos that they show you before you go into the healing rooms,

562
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:30.679
that is Jim Baker talking on that screen.

563
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:32.520
He is a good friend of my husband and I,

564
00:34:32.520 --> 00:34:35.239
and he used to be our pastor when we lived in Columbus, Ohio.

565
00:34:35.600 --> 00:34:37.520
A lot of you are raising your hand. You guys,

566
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:42.600
when he got invited him into receiving the gift of healing,

567
00:34:42.600 --> 00:34:45.880
he was praying for the gift of healing. And God said, you have it, believe it,

568
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:49.560
receive it. You have it. He started praying for people.

569
00:34:49.600 --> 00:34:52.120
He started praying for people. He started activating it.

570
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:54.400
He would find anyone who was sick,

571
00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:56.560
every church service because he was already a pastor.

572
00:34:56.560 --> 00:34:59.880
He would invite the sick people to come up guys, the gift of healing.

573
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.460
The way is different than laying hands on the sick and they shall

574
00:35:02.460 --> 00:35:05.400
recover, laying hands on the sick and they shall recover is just a

575
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:07.200
ministry of the church at large.

576
00:35:07.680 --> 00:35:12.160
It is what we are to do as, you know, saints in the church pray for the sick

577
00:35:12.160 --> 00:35:17.040
among us, the gift of healing is when you pray for someone and they're healed.

578
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:18.920
Okay.

579
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:19.880
They're healed.

580
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:20.680
It's a gift of healing.

581
00:35:20.680 --> 00:35:21.600
It's supernatural.

582
00:35:23.680 --> 00:35:29.680
So he began to pray and I can't remember the exact number, but he told us that

583
00:35:29.680 --> 00:35:32.760
he prayed for like 200, let's just say it's 200.

584
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:33.520
It was a lot of people.

585
00:35:33.520 --> 00:35:37.840
It was at least 200, 200 plus people before he ever saw a healing.

586
00:35:40.600 --> 00:35:43.160
And you guys I'm talking about, I'm not talking about like a healing,

587
00:35:43.160 --> 00:35:45.120
like someone grows back a leg.

588
00:35:45.120 --> 00:35:50.560
That would probably be a gift of miracles, but healed of a disease, healed of a

589
00:35:50.560 --> 00:35:53.040
disorder, I'm not talking about those.

590
00:35:53.040 --> 00:35:57.200
I'm talking about someone being healed of a headache, being healed of the flu,

591
00:35:57.680 --> 00:36:03.040
being healed of before he ever saw any type of healing, he had believed and

592
00:36:03.040 --> 00:36:04.960
received and activated that gift.

593
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:08.400
At least 200 times, do you see what I'm saying here?

594
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:13.120
The proof of belief is action.

595
00:36:14.080 --> 00:36:17.320
The Bible says, if you believe by faith, you will receive and you will have.

596
00:36:20.640 --> 00:36:24.000
That means tonight we're going to activate that faith and you're

597
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:26.920
going to begin to practice it because the flow will grow.

598
00:36:28.200 --> 00:36:29.480
The flow is going to grow.

599
00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:36.000
So praying daily, worshiping, praying with the understanding.

600
00:36:36.600 --> 00:36:39.720
If you get a few words, not a few syllables, even not even words, even if

601
00:36:39.720 --> 00:36:44.800
there's a few sounds, my friends practice that every day, continue to repeat

602
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:48.920
those sounds until more come because they will, and then more and then

603
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:50.480
more and then more, and then more.

604
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:54.400
It'll deepen the gift and strengthen the gift.

605
00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:59.800
Going back to the fact that it's for us, like our sister said in the comment

606
00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:04.760
stream, first Corinthians four, four 14, four says he who speaks in tongues,

607
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:06.000
edifies himself.

608
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:06.680
What are you doing?

609
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:07.960
You're building your own faith.

610
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:12.520
You're building the supernatural up in your heart, your belief in the supernatural.

611
00:37:12.520 --> 00:37:13.280
That's what you're doing.

612
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:13.920
You're building it.

613
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:14.520
You're building it.

614
00:37:14.520 --> 00:37:15.240
You're building it.

615
00:37:15.560 --> 00:37:22.120
Once again, speaking in your prayer language is to the spirit as lifting

616
00:37:22.120 --> 00:37:23.280
weights is to the body.

617
00:37:24.680 --> 00:37:25.840
It will strengthen your spirit.

618
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:27.800
All right.

619
00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:31.880
And then remember, this is your direct connect to God, bypassing your human

620
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:32.560
intellect.

621
00:37:32.600 --> 00:37:36.520
So when you're getting in the way, when you're getting in your own way, you

622
00:37:36.520 --> 00:37:43.640
can pray with these utterances that are going to become words that you're not

623
00:37:43.640 --> 00:37:44.560
going to understand.

624
00:37:45.040 --> 00:37:45.440
Okay.

625
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:48.480
And as that happens, you're going to be bypassing your human reasoning and

626
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:54.160
interceding for yourself to your creator, your spirit speaking to him because he's

627
00:37:54.160 --> 00:37:54.680
a spirit.

628
00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:56.720
You can use it in worship.

629
00:37:56.760 --> 00:37:57.680
You can use it in prayer.

630
00:37:57.680 --> 00:37:59.120
You can use it in intercession.

631
00:37:59.600 --> 00:38:04.200
And when you don't know what to pray, that's my favorite time to use it when I

632
00:38:04.200 --> 00:38:05.200
don't know what to pray.

633
00:38:05.640 --> 00:38:06.120
Okay.

634
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:07.160
All right.

635
00:38:07.160 --> 00:38:10.880
And then Romans eight and eight 20, I'm sorry, eight 26.

636
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:12.800
The spirit helps us in our weakness.

637
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:17.720
The spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

638
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:23.120
Right now I'm going to give it over to our team.

639
00:38:24.120 --> 00:38:27.160
Really quickly, ladies, Bethany candy, Kimmy, if you could just give your

640
00:38:27.160 --> 00:38:29.680
personal testimony and then we're going to give it to David and he's going to

641
00:38:29.680 --> 00:38:30.200
activate.

642
00:38:31.200 --> 00:38:32.000
Yeah, thank you.

643
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:35.000
Um, so just wanted to share real quick tonight.

644
00:38:35.040 --> 00:38:40.160
Um, I received the gift of speaking in tongues when I was in a leadership

645
00:38:40.160 --> 00:38:43.360
development class and we were learning all, all the things Jackie's talking

646
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:47.840
about tonight was asking God for it, seeking him, believing that I would

647
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:48.600
receive it.

648
00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:53.480
Um, and one day we were in a worship service and the Holy spirit was moving.

649
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:56.680
There was a woman that was there with me that I had been mentoring and spending

650
00:38:56.680 --> 00:38:59.440
a lot of time with, and she needed prayer.

651
00:39:00.080 --> 00:39:01.720
And so I asked her if she wanted to go up.

652
00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:05.640
She said, yes, we went up to the front for her to receive prayer.

653
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:09.440
And, uh, another minister came up, was praying with her.

654
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:11.040
I was praying for her.

655
00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:16.280
And as I was praying for her and doing as kind of Jackie was saying earlier, just

656
00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:21.560
going with whatever God put in my spirit as I was doing that, that is when I

657
00:39:21.560 --> 00:39:25.320
received the gift of speaking in tongues and was able just to flow in that

658
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:29.480
gifting and pray for her in ways that I think I wouldn't have been able as Jackie

659
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:33.640
was talking about my human intellect, just a really powerful moment, undeniable

660
00:39:33.640 --> 00:39:34.240
for me.

661
00:39:34.560 --> 00:39:37.520
Um, but that is how I received the gift of speaking in tongues.

662
00:39:37.520 --> 00:39:39.400
So I'm going to pass this over to candy.

663
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:43.480
Yeah.

664
00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:48.960
So mine was, uh, actually I started going to a spirit filled church when I was 16 and

665
00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:50.640
I got saved at 10.

666
00:39:51.160 --> 00:39:57.720
Um, and then though, when I was 19, I was in Florida and it was a tent, I believe

667
00:39:57.720 --> 00:39:59.840
it like a tent revival kind of thing.

668
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:07.060
And I knew that that day was the day, um, because they offered it, they did like a,

669
00:40:07.060 --> 00:40:09.560
you know, uh, an offer to come up.

670
00:40:09.560 --> 00:40:12.520
And I said, yes, I want it all.

671
00:40:12.520 --> 00:40:16.840
And I knew that that something had happened to me and that I was filled with the spirit

672
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:20.820
and tongues that particular week, that particular day.

673
00:40:20.820 --> 00:40:22.600
And I've never been the same since.

674
00:40:22.600 --> 00:40:27.200
So that's my short, my short rendition of mine.

675
00:40:27.200 --> 00:40:28.880
Uh, who's next Kimmy?

676
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:41.040
Is Kimmy here for sure?

677
00:40:41.040 --> 00:40:43.040
Yes, I am.

678
00:40:43.040 --> 00:40:44.040
I'm sorry.

679
00:40:44.040 --> 00:40:52.720
Uh, uh, the beginning and didn't quite get the direction.

680
00:40:52.720 --> 00:40:57.580
Just if you, if you have a testimony to share about receiving, uh, the gift of tongues,

681
00:40:57.580 --> 00:40:58.640
you can share that now.

682
00:40:58.640 --> 00:41:01.780
If you want to pass it over to David, he can take it from here.

683
00:41:01.780 --> 00:41:03.940
I'll pass it over to David.

684
00:41:03.940 --> 00:41:04.940
Thank you.

685
00:41:04.940 --> 00:41:05.940
Awesome.

686
00:41:05.940 --> 00:41:06.940
Hey guys.

687
00:41:06.940 --> 00:41:14.580
Um, so glad to be with you tonight and, uh, thank you for being here.

688
00:41:14.580 --> 00:41:19.980
I just want to, um, honor every single one of you that are here for the session because,

689
00:41:19.980 --> 00:41:24.580
um, this is, it's very important and it can be very powerful in your life.

690
00:41:24.580 --> 00:41:33.880
Um, you know, I received baptism of the spirit, my tradition and faith and faith development

691
00:41:33.880 --> 00:41:41.360
was definitely a very charismatic, very, um, spirit filled, um, type of way, but I didn't

692
00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:49.680
receive salvation and didn't receive baptism of the spirit in a church type of organized

693
00:41:49.680 --> 00:41:50.680
situation.

694
00:41:50.680 --> 00:41:56.800
Um, you know, my aunt, my great aunt was the one who really just personally, she received

695
00:41:56.800 --> 00:41:57.800
salvation.

696
00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:02.800
We should receive the truth and the light of the, of the, the work of the cross and

697
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:04.400
very good teaching.

698
00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:11.320
And she literally single-handedly evangelized her entire family, including my mom and her

699
00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:12.320
siblings.

700
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:15.960
My mom is a one of six children and cousins.

701
00:42:16.160 --> 00:42:21.520
So all of us were really, the gospel was really shared with us by our aunt and we received

702
00:42:21.520 --> 00:42:29.200
salvation and the work of truth initially through, um, just one-on-one teaching and

703
00:42:29.200 --> 00:42:31.840
talking and sharing in our living rooms.

704
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:39.440
And I was a young child during this time when my mother was receiving, um, a lot of this

705
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:41.600
information as an adult.

706
00:42:41.600 --> 00:42:47.080
And, um, I just wasn't in naturally, supernaturally an environment to where, um, the Lord was

707
00:42:47.080 --> 00:42:54.160
just moving and I began to vocalize and to speak in tongues and I received it, not even

708
00:42:54.160 --> 00:42:57.280
really knowing what was happening to me.

709
00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:01.520
And so I was just open to it because I was a child, but then furthermore in my life,

710
00:43:01.520 --> 00:43:06.040
as I grew in faith and I grew in ministry and I grew in experience with the Lord, that

711
00:43:06.040 --> 00:43:13.520
gift, because it was so naturally, uh, supernatural, uh, it just began to really grow in me.

712
00:43:13.520 --> 00:43:18.160
And had I not been very fortunate to be in that environment and that faith development

713
00:43:18.160 --> 00:43:23.080
and the other places that we went to church and continued our faith, of course, I wouldn't

714
00:43:23.080 --> 00:43:24.400
be the person I am today.

715
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:30.440
So even though I received it very young, um, it's still a part of activating.

716
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:33.160
It's still part of understanding it.

717
00:43:33.160 --> 00:43:34.880
And I love speaking in tongues.

718
00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:36.080
I speak in tongues.

719
00:43:36.080 --> 00:43:37.840
I feel like I'm a lot like Paul.

720
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:41.080
Like I feel, I feel like I speak in tongues more than most people think.

721
00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:48.440
They, if they, if you know me, um, uh, and maybe even more so than a lot of other people.

722
00:43:48.520 --> 00:43:54.840
And, um, but there have been seasons in my life where I like forgot and you're like,

723
00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:56.120
how could you forget the Lord?

724
00:43:56.520 --> 00:44:03.160
But you get in a pattern of when you're trying to do your life and everybody, we all do this.

725
00:44:03.160 --> 00:44:08.560
We all do this with trying to figure things out, trying to come up against obstacles and

726
00:44:08.560 --> 00:44:13.360
trying to overcome them or trying to overcome something in yourself and trying to, you know,

727
00:44:13.600 --> 00:44:16.640
and you get to a certain point where like, oh yeah, I forget.

728
00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:18.880
Um, I'm a son of God.

729
00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:19.800
I'm a daughter of God.

730
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:20.560
I have tools.

731
00:44:20.560 --> 00:44:21.920
I have things that can activate.

732
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:25.160
I have the power to be able to overcome these things, you know?

733
00:44:25.160 --> 00:44:31.680
So just like any other believer, you know, we forget the truth that is in us sometimes, but

734
00:44:31.680 --> 00:44:37.600
that's why I encourage you to say that, um, speaking in tongues is very natural and normal.

735
00:44:38.120 --> 00:44:40.800
I just want to say one thing really quick.

736
00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:46.120
Um, my friend, Bethany Hicks, a lot of, you know, her, she's a friend of this ministry.

737
00:44:46.120 --> 00:44:49.160
She's a good friend of ours, but she's also a very, very well-known prophet.

738
00:44:49.600 --> 00:44:52.400
Um, she just was texting me because today was her daughter's graduation party.

739
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:54.200
And she was just thanking us for the card.

740
00:44:54.680 --> 00:44:57.200
And I said, Hey, we're teaching about Holy Spirit right now.

741
00:44:57.240 --> 00:44:58.600
Like, how did you receive Holy Spirit?

742
00:44:58.640 --> 00:44:59.920
Cause I just wanted to see, cause you guys know.

743
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.040
Or she's a powerhouse prophetic voice in the earth right now, author of lots of

744
00:45:05.040 --> 00:45:07.280
books on the prophetic and spiritual things.

745
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:09.120
And I'm, you know, a sought out speaker.

746
00:45:09.380 --> 00:45:10.380
And this is what she said.

747
00:45:10.660 --> 00:45:12.000
She said, I was so hungry.

748
00:45:12.260 --> 00:45:17.080
I asked, I asked God and I opened my mouth and I just started trusting that

749
00:45:17.080 --> 00:45:18.900
the gibberish coming out was him.

750
00:45:19.980 --> 00:45:20.340
Yeah.

751
00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:25.280
So it's important you guys to understand that even people that you highly respect

752
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:28.900
spiritually, they didn't start out with any kind of fluent prayer language.

753
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:29.560
Absolutely.

754
00:45:30.240 --> 00:45:33.260
And I tell you, I've had my, I've had my moments of doubt.

755
00:45:33.260 --> 00:45:37.340
I've had my moments of like, you know, is this, is this really anything?

756
00:45:37.380 --> 00:45:41.020
I mean, and I'm not talking about like just personally, I'm talking about

757
00:45:41.020 --> 00:45:45.900
like in the midst of like some of the most spiritual, like moments,

758
00:45:45.900 --> 00:45:47.660
like me on a platform ministry.

759
00:45:48.180 --> 00:45:49.820
I'm having doubts and I've had questions.

760
00:45:49.820 --> 00:45:53.700
I've had them like, this is all it's cracked up to be all that kind of thing.

761
00:45:54.220 --> 00:45:59.820
And so I tell you, I I've been through all of the iterations, you know, but.

762
00:46:00.580 --> 00:46:06.780
I feel like speaking in tongues, I think the biggest thing for those who might be

763
00:46:06.780 --> 00:46:13.340
skeptical or most have never experienced this yet is one of the, is, is not only

764
00:46:13.340 --> 00:46:18.820
the, the heavy put on that religion, lots of times puts on these types of topics.

765
00:46:18.940 --> 00:46:20.020
Like, oh, you must do this.

766
00:46:20.020 --> 00:46:23.620
Like, I don't like it when I go to church and somebody is like, you know,

767
00:46:23.620 --> 00:46:26.620
you really ought to, you ought to pray more and you know, we ought to really

768
00:46:26.620 --> 00:46:28.780
need, you know, we ought to really read our Bible more.

769
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:29.400
Right.

770
00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:34.960
And I'm like, so just reading the Bible, like I want to get into, I'm always

771
00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:39.240
asking the why what's in it, like where, like what's the purpose, like, is just

772
00:46:39.240 --> 00:46:46.000
reading your Bible more just as such a, a value and that doing that alone.

773
00:46:46.560 --> 00:46:47.500
Makes all the difference.

774
00:46:47.500 --> 00:46:49.300
No, it requires.

775
00:46:49.300 --> 00:46:53.280
And so you read God's word because it is his word to us.

776
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:59.940
It is his story to us to be able to share and reveal who he is, what he's like, what

777
00:46:59.940 --> 00:47:04.920
he's done, those are, it's like, that's the reason why we write, why do you read

778
00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:05.660
a good story?

779
00:47:06.300 --> 00:47:08.220
Because the story is fascinating.

780
00:47:08.220 --> 00:47:08.740
It's good.

781
00:47:08.740 --> 00:47:09.520
It's dramatic.

782
00:47:09.520 --> 00:47:10.580
It's all the things.

783
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:11.700
It's the same thing.

784
00:47:11.700 --> 00:47:12.940
Why would you speak in tongues?

785
00:47:12.940 --> 00:47:20.320
Because it's the zest of the spirit that brings that, that sort of X factor to

786
00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:28.600
your life, can you receive the truth of the cross and receive that salvation on

787
00:47:28.600 --> 00:47:34.020
your way to heaven on a way to, you know, the, the, the age to come, whatever

788
00:47:34.020 --> 00:47:35.580
that looks like, right.

789
00:47:36.220 --> 00:47:38.280
Can you receive salvation and go to heaven?

790
00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:39.680
So to speak, right.

791
00:47:39.680 --> 00:47:42.780
Without receiving the baptism of the Holy spirit, evidence of speaking in

792
00:47:42.780 --> 00:47:43.120
tongues.

793
00:47:43.120 --> 00:47:44.240
Yes, you can, of course.

794
00:47:45.240 --> 00:47:53.540
But if you want a power, a resident spirit within you, that you could activate at any

795
00:47:53.540 --> 00:47:58.640
moment to be able to break through in certain situations where you need clarity,

796
00:47:59.060 --> 00:48:05.820
where you need an increase of faith, where you're, where you're needing, um, words

797
00:48:05.820 --> 00:48:09.680
to say, like, I've come to a point where I prayed certain prayers.

798
00:48:09.680 --> 00:48:12.320
I said, Lord, I, you know, I'm praying for this person.

799
00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:13.580
I'm praying for the situation.

800
00:48:14.040 --> 00:48:15.060
This is what I see.

801
00:48:15.060 --> 00:48:16.580
And this is what I'd like to happen.

802
00:48:16.580 --> 00:48:19.740
And I'm praying, Lord, make your, you know, have your way in this.

803
00:48:20.060 --> 00:48:22.600
And I would like to have it done this way.

804
00:48:22.600 --> 00:48:24.440
And, you know, I'm making my prayers known.

805
00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:24.860
Right.

806
00:48:25.260 --> 00:48:26.260
But then I get to the end of that.

807
00:48:26.260 --> 00:48:28.640
I'm like, this just doesn't seem sufficient.

808
00:48:28.980 --> 00:48:32.580
It doesn't seem like enough because I'm not really hitting the words I want to say.

809
00:48:33.140 --> 00:48:38.980
And so that's a perfect time for me to use my prayer language, to just speak and

810
00:48:38.980 --> 00:48:51.560
another time goes, and that sounds silly to someone who may just be listening to

811
00:48:51.560 --> 00:48:56.760
that, but to me, I just tapped in and a matter of seconds into a realm of the

812
00:48:56.760 --> 00:49:03.580
spirit that, you know, that I didn't know a few minutes before you understand.

813
00:49:04.300 --> 00:49:07.420
And so it just activates, activates the spirit in your life.

814
00:49:07.420 --> 00:49:11.420
It activates what God is trying to do in your life in so many different ways.

815
00:49:12.340 --> 00:49:18.700
And the last thing I want to say is that, um, you know, there are linguists, like if

816
00:49:18.700 --> 00:49:23.660
you want to get technical about it, there are people who are linguists that actually

817
00:49:23.660 --> 00:49:30.040
study speaking in tongues, I have a term for it, glossolalia, and it refers to the

818
00:49:30.040 --> 00:49:35.420
phenomenon of speaking an unknown or ecstatic language and linguists have

819
00:49:35.420 --> 00:49:40.900
observed that there are phenomenas and syllable patterns, usually from the

820
00:49:40.900 --> 00:49:42.860
speaker's native language.

821
00:49:42.860 --> 00:49:45.940
So if you're an English speaker, if you're an Italian speaker, if you're a

822
00:49:45.940 --> 00:49:52.820
Russian speaker, typically your tongues will sound syllabolically like the

823
00:49:52.820 --> 00:49:54.580
language that you speak in.

824
00:49:55.420 --> 00:49:59.820
And it does lack a consistent grammar or a syntax of a known language.

825
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.640
and is usually not intelligible to others unless interpreted, which aligns specifically with Paul's

826
00:50:06.640 --> 00:50:14.480
teaching in 1 Corinthians 14. So even people who are academics are aware that this is a thing,

827
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:18.000
this is something, there's something to this, like even from a linguistic standpoint.

828
00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:24.560
And there's been observation that there's part of the brain that when somebody is speaking,

829
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:30.400
you understand, scientists say when you speak, you can't be hearing and receiving at the same time

830
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:35.040
because you're speaking, you're putting out. So when you're speaking, you can't be listening to

831
00:50:35.040 --> 00:50:39.360
somebody else at the same time. That's difficult and that's not really good communication,

832
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:43.760
especially if you're trying to actually actively listen to something. So usually you're quiet when

833
00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:50.000
you're actively listening. But when somebody is speaking in tongues, scientists have actually

834
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:57.280
read brain patterns where the part of the brain that receives information is actually activated

835
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:04.240
while speaking in tongues. Fascinating, unbelievably fascinating to me. So even science

836
00:51:04.240 --> 00:51:10.800
is involved with this part of speaking in tongues and curious about what it is. And you as the

837
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:18.480
believer receiving it by faith can activate it in your life. Really it's just, I feel like it's a

838
00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:23.760
bonus. I don't feel like it's a put on of any sort. I don't feel like it's like, oh, you're not holy,

839
00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:28.400
you haven't earned it, you don't understand it, you're not like me, none of that. I feel like

840
00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:34.560
it's a bonus. I feel like it's an upgrade. I feel like Jesus is like, look, God was in the temple

841
00:51:35.680 --> 00:51:42.320
manifested as a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day. Jesus came and then was the

842
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:49.680
physical manifestation in the form of a man on earth. And now since Jesus has died, rose again

843
00:51:49.680 --> 00:51:56.240
as ascended to heaven, Holy Spirit is now the manifested presence of God in the earth, in the

844
00:51:56.240 --> 00:52:03.440
lives and active in every believer. Now, another one thing I want to say clear about tongues is

845
00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:07.760
that does that mean if you're not speaking in tongue, does that mean you're not filled with

846
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:13.920
the Holy Spirit? No, that's not necessarily true. There are instances in scripture where people were

847
00:52:13.920 --> 00:52:19.520
filled with the Holy Spirit and didn't recognize what the scripture didn't specifically say they

848
00:52:19.520 --> 00:52:26.080
spoke in tongues. Speaking in tongues is not the only evidence of being filled with the Spirit.

849
00:52:26.640 --> 00:52:32.000
So if you want to be able to like parse, you know, well, you know, are you saying that I have to speak

850
00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:35.200
in tongues in order to be filled with the Spirit because I feel like I'm filled with the Spirit

851
00:52:35.200 --> 00:52:40.320
and I will speak in tongues? That's okay. Scripture bears that out. Scripture supports that.

852
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:49.200
It's not required, but I'm telling you what, it makes a difference. It makes a powerful difference

853
00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:55.760
in my life to be able to go into a place where I can speak in tongues. I've literally shifted

854
00:52:56.560 --> 00:53:03.440
things in my family, things in my children's life, situations that I could not have any control or

855
00:53:03.520 --> 00:53:09.840
anything to be able to work out. There have been resolved, there have been answers to problems

856
00:53:10.400 --> 00:53:15.120
that worked out because I was willing just to go into a moment of speaking in tongues and just

857
00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:23.600
connecting in my heavenly language with heaven and getting heaven on the scene in that instance.

858
00:53:24.160 --> 00:53:28.880
Amen? So that's all I really wanted to teach and share about that, but I hope you've been

859
00:53:28.880 --> 00:53:33.920
encouraged. I hope you've been strengthened, and I tell you what, whenever I'm just lacking like,

860
00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:39.760
Lord, I really want to believe you. I want to have faith for this. I just, I'm lacking understanding

861
00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:45.120
because I really believe that faith is knowing you, knowing God. So I'm going to speak in tongues

862
00:53:45.120 --> 00:53:49.840
and I'm going to allow my faith to be increased towards this situation or towards whatever I'm

863
00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:56.560
facing, towards this thing that I'm trying to really lean into, right? Because there are things

864
00:53:56.560 --> 00:54:03.120
that you're like, I know there's truth there. I know there's something to be had there. I just can't,

865
00:54:03.120 --> 00:54:09.680
it's just difficult to obtain. I'm trying to use faith. So where does faith come from? Your faith

866
00:54:09.680 --> 00:54:15.200
gets built in part by speaking in tongues. It's what the scripture says directly.

867
00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:26.400
And another comment from the peanut gallery. Hi, I'm a peanut. Okay. At least one person is

868
00:54:26.400 --> 00:54:32.720
wondering why there's such an emphasis on finding this for everyone. There isn't an emphasis on

869
00:54:32.720 --> 00:54:37.200
finding it for everyone. This is, this, all this is, first of all, we announced on Saturday what

870
00:54:37.200 --> 00:54:41.440
we would be doing tonight, and so we have to believe that the people that have shown up here

871
00:54:41.600 --> 00:54:48.400
are interested in it. We have a very large community over a thousand people. And so there

872
00:54:48.400 --> 00:54:57.520
are, there are, let's see, there are how many people here? Right over here. 180. 180. So only

873
00:54:57.520 --> 00:54:59.920
180 people showed up tonight.

874
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.640
We have to believe that they showed up here for this exact reason.

875
00:55:02.640 --> 00:55:05.880
If you wandered into this session, not knowing what was going to happen and

876
00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:09.600
you're not interested, once again, no judgment, but we're, we're offering

877
00:55:09.600 --> 00:55:13.000
this, um, for the people that are interested, because we just want to be

878
00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:17.600
a bridge for people to grow spiritually in any way that they don't feel like

879
00:55:17.600 --> 00:55:22.240
they're getting, um, they're getting that encouragement maybe from their

880
00:55:22.240 --> 00:55:24.600
spiritual community or wherever.

881
00:55:25.060 --> 00:55:27.420
And so that is why we offer things like this.

882
00:55:27.420 --> 00:55:31.920
Once again, our, our community is about, um, Christian marriage minded

883
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:35.680
folks, stepping into kingdom family and marriage, that is what we're

884
00:55:35.680 --> 00:55:40.020
primarily about, but we also love to help people increase their knowledge

885
00:55:40.020 --> 00:55:44.820
of God, um, in any, which way they need to and their relationship

886
00:55:44.820 --> 00:55:46.500
with God themselves and with others.

887
00:55:46.860 --> 00:55:49.340
And so on Sunday nights, that's what we do.

888
00:55:49.340 --> 00:55:51.540
We activate it's kind of school, the Holy spirit.

889
00:55:51.860 --> 00:55:53.180
And so this is not your thing.

890
00:55:53.220 --> 00:55:55.820
You don't actually have to come on Sunday nights and you're still going

891
00:55:55.820 --> 00:56:00.020
to get great value from the other six days of the week, man.

892
00:56:00.580 --> 00:56:00.700
Yeah.

893
00:56:00.700 --> 00:56:07.460
I think it's just because I think everybody that I know that speaks in

894
00:56:07.460 --> 00:56:14.660
tongues and uses their prayer language has, has experienced such value that

895
00:56:14.660 --> 00:56:17.020
it's something so important to share.

896
00:56:17.100 --> 00:56:18.140
So it's just a sharing.

897
00:56:18.140 --> 00:56:19.020
It's just an offering.

898
00:56:19.540 --> 00:56:22.860
I'm just going to pray simply without any drama or anything.

899
00:56:22.980 --> 00:56:24.900
And, uh, I just want you to follow along.

900
00:56:24.940 --> 00:56:29.580
If you want to, you want to say this prayer and meet him from your heart

901
00:56:29.580 --> 00:56:33.100
and just get into a, just a posture and just a few seconds of just like

902
00:56:33.100 --> 00:56:39.380
receiving from the Lord, because it is a gift, you know, if I came to my

903
00:56:39.380 --> 00:56:44.980
child, my children were young and I had a gift wrapped up for them and I

904
00:56:44.980 --> 00:56:49.300
had it in a nice presence and I said, Hey son, Hey daughter, I love you so much.

905
00:56:49.300 --> 00:56:50.740
Hey, here's a gift.

906
00:56:51.420 --> 00:56:52.300
I don't want to give it to you.

907
00:56:53.860 --> 00:56:56.180
And then in that moment, I give them the gift.

908
00:56:57.660 --> 00:57:07.660
If my son or daughter reacted with, Oh father, I really wish that you would

909
00:57:07.660 --> 00:57:12.220
give me this gift because I've been wanting it for a long time and I'm

910
00:57:12.220 --> 00:57:17.180
asking for this gift and I just wish that you would, you know, just, you

911
00:57:17.180 --> 00:57:22.540
know, take the moment and give, I'm like, why are you asking for this?

912
00:57:22.980 --> 00:57:26.700
I already gave you the gift.

913
00:57:26.740 --> 00:57:28.460
I came to you.

914
00:57:29.100 --> 00:57:36.220
I'm just waiting for you to receive it, open it up and enjoy the gift.

915
00:57:37.100 --> 00:57:39.940
And because it's a gift, it's also something that cannot be earned.

916
00:57:39.940 --> 00:57:40.620
It's not something earned.

917
00:57:40.620 --> 00:57:45.060
It's not something that worthy of, it's not something that you can attain

918
00:57:45.060 --> 00:57:51.500
because you have access, some level of spirituality, it's not like that at all.

919
00:57:52.020 --> 00:57:56.500
You can receive what God is freely giving to you in this moment.

920
00:57:57.100 --> 00:57:58.380
So pray this prayer with me.

921
00:57:58.380 --> 00:58:03.780
If you want, Holy Spirit, fill me now.

922
00:58:05.860 --> 00:58:07.020
I receive you.

923
00:58:08.780 --> 00:58:20.100
I yield to you, Holy Spirit, baptize me with power and release my prayer

924
00:58:20.100 --> 00:58:34.820
language, I receive it by faith in Jesus name, I encourage you in this

925
00:58:34.820 --> 00:58:40.460
moment, or even after this call, whatever you're comfortable to begin to be

926
00:58:40.460 --> 00:58:45.260
able to just exercise and speak syllables.

927
00:58:46.220 --> 00:58:49.980
My first syllable was Shundalaka, Shundalaka, Shundalaka, Shundalaka.

928
00:58:50.940 --> 00:58:57.420
Shundalaka, Shundalaka, Shundalaka, whatever syllable or phrase that you

929
00:58:57.420 --> 00:59:00.260
feel like uttering now and just speak it out, just do it.

930
00:59:01.260 --> 00:59:02.220
Nobody can hear you.

931
00:59:02.220 --> 00:59:03.100
Nobody's unmuted.

932
00:59:04.580 --> 00:59:06.620
You're doing this in the privacy of your own home.

933
00:59:08.380 --> 00:59:13.860
And if you just step out in faith with a vocalization, a word, a phrase,

934
00:59:14.060 --> 00:59:19.500
Holy Spirit will fill the moment because you've stepped out in faith to receive

935
00:59:19.500 --> 00:59:22.780
this gift, yes.

936
00:59:27.580 --> 00:59:28.300
Thank you, David.

937
00:59:29.580 --> 00:59:30.780
Let's begin to worship the Lord.

938
00:59:32.300 --> 00:59:37.020
You're going to tell him how great he is, how much you love him, how thankful

939
00:59:37.020 --> 00:59:41.660
you are that you could be anywhere else in the world right now, doing anything

940
00:59:41.660 --> 00:59:47.020
else, but you're with him, you're here, you have knowledge of him.

941
00:59:47.020 --> 00:59:51.220
Do you know how many millions and millions and millions, even billions

942
00:59:51.220 --> 00:59:56.140
possibly of people do not know God the way that you do?

943
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:10.000
Yes, Lord. We're so thankful for you. So thankful that you're a good father, that you love us.

944
01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:21.000
You're kind. You're patient. You don't give up on us.

945
01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:26.000
Yes, Lord.

946
01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:35.000
There was a prophetic song that was written from just prophetic speaking continue to worship the Lord to you to thank him and love him.

947
01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:39.000
Just let it start flowing from you.

948
01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:46.000
It was just, it was just some spontaneous was spontaneous worship song that was that happened.

949
01:00:46.000 --> 01:00:54.000
And then it became a song they produced it because it was just so powerful and it just says, I knew what I was getting into this is God talking to you.

950
01:00:54.000 --> 01:00:58.000
I knew what I was getting into when I called you.

951
01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:02.000
I knew what I was getting into but I still chose you.

952
01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:06.000
I knew what I was getting into but I still love you.

953
01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:10.000
And one verse says I knew what I was getting into but I still like you.

954
01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:17.000
So don't give up and don't give in. If you don't quit you win. You win, you win.

955
01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:32.000
Yes, you win. Thank you God that we win. Thank you Lord that you've empowered us. You sent your son because you loved us so much to die for us so that we could live and be fully alive in the spirit.

956
01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:43.000
We're dead in the flesh but we're alive in the spirit. Holy Spirit come Holy Spirit come Holy Spirit make your presence.

957
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:55.000
Make your presence known in each and every person's environment right now make your presence known in their room in their house or where they are right now in their car, make your presence known.

958
01:01:55.000 --> 01:01:58.000
Make your presence now.

959
01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:03.000
Let them sense you let them feel you.

960
01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:15.000
Let them feel like they're coming alive in areas where they've been shut down let them feel you breathing life into them.

961
01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:42.000
Joy is coming joy is coming. Oh well spring up a well for those that haven't activated their gift in a long time spring up a well. We just say uncap well and spring up spring up a well spring up a well let those rivers of living water begin to flow freely flow flow flow flow.

962
01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:44.000
Yes.

963
01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:48.000
He loves us. Oh how he loves us.

964
01:02:48.000 --> 01:02:57.000
He loves us. Oh how he loves us. Yes, yes, yes.

965
01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:09.000
Yes, yes, yes. Begin to sing friends begin to sing a spontaneous song come out of your heart for a lot of people that's how activating the spirit begins to happen.

966
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:18.000
They begin to sing their own song sing a new song or to the Lord. Sing, sing, sing. Yes.

967
01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:22.000
Yes.

968
01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:27.000
Yes, he loves you. He loves you. He loves you.

969
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:32.000
He loves you woman in the pink shirt. He loves you.

970
01:03:32.000 --> 01:03:39.000
He loves you. You don't even really think pink shirt color but you bought that shirt now you're wearing it.

971
01:03:39.000 --> 01:03:44.000
You're wearing it. You may or may not be on camera, you might have your camera off.

972
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:49.000
You're feeling kind of beat down and tired today but God sees you.

973
01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:56.000
God sees you. He loves you. He loves you. He loves you so much.

974
01:03:56.000 --> 01:03:59.000
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

975
01:03:59.000 --> 01:04:07.000
You're pretty and pink my friends. You are beautiful to the Lord he loves you with an everlasting love.

976
01:04:07.000 --> 01:04:09.000
Yes, Lord.

977
01:04:09.000 --> 01:04:16.000
Know that song. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes, Lord. Amen. Whoo. Come on.

978
01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:22.000
Come on exchange some of those beauts some of those ashes for beauty tonight.

979
01:04:22.000 --> 01:04:33.000
You're trading your sorrows for the joy of the Lord. That's what that song says I'm trading my sickness. I'm trading my shame. I'm trading it all for the joy of the Lord.

980
01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:41.000
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Come on begin to worship the Lord begin to sing begin to shout.

981
01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:44.000
Yes, thank you God. Thank you God.

982
01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:47.000
Thank you, Jesus.

983
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:53.000
You are good, your mercy endures forever begin to quote his word over yourself.

984
01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:59.000
The Lord he is good and his mercy endure it forever.

985
01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:00.000
Ever and ever.

986
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:11.520
ever and ever. Yes, he loves you. He loves you. I know the guy

987
01:05:11.520 --> 01:05:14.760
just actually just met him the guy who wrote the song. You're

988
01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:21.480
good, good father. It's who you are. It's who you are. It's who

989
01:05:21.480 --> 01:05:28.640
you are. And I'm loved by you. It's who I am. It's who I am.

990
01:05:29.200 --> 01:05:37.440
It's who I am. You are perfect in all of your ways. So perfect

991
01:05:37.440 --> 01:05:47.160
in all of your ways. Perfect in all of your ways to us. Yes,

992
01:05:47.160 --> 01:05:50.480
and he wrote that in a dark place friends. That song was not

993
01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:52.680
written on a mountaintop that that song was written in a

994
01:05:52.680 --> 01:05:55.800
valley. But he was declaring you're a good good father.

995
01:05:55.800 --> 01:05:58.720
That's who you are. My flesh might want to say something

996
01:05:58.720 --> 01:06:00.920
different. But my spirit declares you're a good good

997
01:06:00.920 --> 01:06:04.640
father. Whoa, you're a good father. That's who you are. And

998
01:06:04.640 --> 01:06:07.720
you can't change. There's no shadow of turning in you. You

999
01:06:07.720 --> 01:06:12.200
are good. You are good. You are good. There's no good but you

1000
01:06:12.200 --> 01:06:17.000
you are good. You are good. You're a good father. You're a

1001
01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:19.960
good father who knows how to give perfect gifts to his

1002
01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:23.680
children. Who knows how to give the Holy Spirit to those that

1003
01:06:23.680 --> 01:06:28.520
ask them and who am I? I am loved by you. That's who I am.

1004
01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:35.320
That's who I am. That's who I am. Whoo. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

1005
01:06:35.320 --> 01:06:39.240
Receive and believe he is good. Your flesh can't say he's good.

1006
01:06:39.240 --> 01:06:42.200
Your flesh will only say he's good when things are going okay.

1007
01:06:42.360 --> 01:06:45.920
But your spirit will always say the truth. Remember, he is the

1008
01:06:45.920 --> 01:06:50.040
spirit of truth. It is not any spirit is Holy Spirit and Holy

1009
01:06:50.040 --> 01:06:53.800
Spirit can only testify of Jesus. He can only continue with

1010
01:06:53.800 --> 01:06:56.880
the truth and he's the spirit of truth that he declares to you

1011
01:06:57.120 --> 01:07:01.520
that he is a good good father that God is a good good father.

1012
01:07:01.680 --> 01:07:05.360
That's who he is. That is his character. That is his

1013
01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:09.320
character. He's not a man that he should lie. He cannot lie. He

1014
01:07:09.320 --> 01:07:13.240
cannot fail. Love cannot fail and he doesn't just have love.

1015
01:07:13.240 --> 01:07:17.280
He is love. He is love. Let that spirit of love invade you right

1016
01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:20.800
now. Pushing out all the darkness, all the negativity,

1017
01:07:20.800 --> 01:07:23.760
all the desperation, all the despair, all the discouragement,

1018
01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:27.880
push it out, push it out, push it out. Push it out right now.

1019
01:07:29.720 --> 01:07:33.480
Like Bethany received that gift when she was helping others what

1020
01:07:33.480 --> 01:07:36.800
we help make happen for others. God does for us begin to pray

1021
01:07:36.800 --> 01:07:39.960
and intercede over someone right now. Begin to pray with the

1022
01:07:39.960 --> 01:07:43.280
understanding until it gives way to the supernatural. Begin to

1023
01:07:43.280 --> 01:07:47.120
pray. Begin to honor God. Begin to thank him for what he's

1024
01:07:47.120 --> 01:07:50.840
done and what he is still yet to do. It's already done. It's

1025
01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:54.320
yes and amen in him, but it hasn't manifested yet. Thank him

1026
01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:57.600
for the manifestation. Thank him for the manifestation. God, we

1027
01:07:57.600 --> 01:08:00.680
thank you for the manifestation of your promises in our lives.

1028
01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:07.720
We thank you, God, that you love us. Oh, how you love us. Oh, how

1029
01:08:07.720 --> 01:08:10.520
you love us. Find up any religious thoughts in our mind

1030
01:08:10.520 --> 01:08:13.640
right now that would try to war against the idea that you are

1031
01:08:13.640 --> 01:08:16.880
good and that you love us. That would try to war against the

1032
01:08:16.880 --> 01:08:21.240
idea that it's all yes and amen done on the cross for us. And as

1033
01:08:21.240 --> 01:08:25.479
us, we don't have to do it. It's done. It's done. It's done. He's

1034
01:08:25.479 --> 01:08:33.279
done. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. Oh, yes. Jesus.

1035
01:08:34.200 --> 01:08:40.240
Yes, it's done. It is done. It is yes and it is amen. But he's

1036
01:08:40.240 --> 01:08:44.359
not a maybe God. He's a yes and amen God. Just start declaring

1037
01:08:44.359 --> 01:08:47.640
that over yourself. He's not a maybe I'll think about it. No,

1038
01:08:47.640 --> 01:08:50.359
that was your parent growing up and you need to forgive them

1039
01:08:50.359 --> 01:08:52.880
because they never made good on their promises. But he is not a

1040
01:08:52.880 --> 01:08:56.120
man that he should lie. He is not your mama that lied to you.

1041
01:08:56.120 --> 01:08:59.319
He is not your daddy that lied to you. He is not the parent that

1042
01:08:59.319 --> 01:09:01.240
abandoned you when they were supposed to pick you up for

1043
01:09:01.240 --> 01:09:03.600
practice and they left you hanging on the street corner.

1044
01:09:03.800 --> 01:09:06.359
And you had to walk there you had a bum ride there and then you

1045
01:09:06.359 --> 01:09:08.840
were late and you didn't get to play because the coach puts you

1046
01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:10.840
on the bench because the coach didn't understand that it wasn't

1047
01:09:10.840 --> 01:09:14.800
your fault. You didn't have parents that cared about you.

1048
01:09:15.000 --> 01:09:18.800
That is not God. Let go of these ideas so that you can receive

1049
01:09:18.800 --> 01:09:22.040
from him. You don't earn it. Some of you never received

1050
01:09:22.040 --> 01:09:25.000
anything from a parent that you didn't work and earn. You had to

1051
01:09:25.000 --> 01:09:27.880
work for their love, their attention. You had to work for

1052
01:09:27.880 --> 01:09:30.920
every single thing you ever got. There were no free lunches and

1053
01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:34.279
no free rides. I hear that in the spirit right now some parent

1054
01:09:34.279 --> 01:09:37.160
telling you that because their parents told them that, you

1055
01:09:37.160 --> 01:09:40.399
know, there's no free lunch. You know, this world nothing's for

1056
01:09:40.399 --> 01:09:42.960
free. You got to earn it. And then they just forced you to

1057
01:09:42.960 --> 01:09:46.160
earn every single thing you got in life. Nothing was given to

1058
01:09:46.160 --> 01:09:49.000
you, not your clothes, not your shoes, not your food, not your

1059
01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:53.640
car. Nothing that you ever got was given to you as a gift. You

1060
01:09:53.640 --> 01:09:56.960
had to receive all of you had to get all of it by your own hard

1061
01:09:56.960 --> 01:09:59.480
work. Well, that doesn't happen in the kingdom.

1062
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:05.220
act your hard work. It doesn't, it doesn't pay off here. It's

1063
01:10:05.220 --> 01:10:08.700
not, it's not going to be given to you here, according to your

1064
01:10:08.700 --> 01:10:11.340
hard work. That is not what you're going to receive here.

1065
01:10:11.740 --> 01:10:14.400
And so Lord, we just thank you, God, that we don't work to

1066
01:10:14.400 --> 01:10:18.780
receive. All we have to do is believe to receive. Prime that

1067
01:10:18.780 --> 01:10:21.340
pump of faith, prime that pump of faith, faith.

1068
01:10:21.820 --> 01:10:22.320
Maggie?

1069
01:10:22.320 --> 01:10:28.940
Yes. Pour it out. Pour out that alabaster box. Pour it out.

1070
01:10:30.700 --> 01:10:37.980
Pour it out. Pour it out. Begin to sing, begin to worship, begin

1071
01:10:37.980 --> 01:10:43.700
to praise, begin to glorify, begin to declare. Come on. I see

1072
01:10:43.700 --> 01:10:47.180
some of your mouths are not moving. And once again, nothing

1073
01:10:47.180 --> 01:10:51.600
can come out. Think about it as your car. God can't steer a

1074
01:10:51.600 --> 01:10:55.200
parked car. You got to put it in drive and you got to, you know,

1075
01:10:55.200 --> 01:11:00.480
take your foot and put it on the gas pedal. Yes, yes, yes,

1076
01:11:00.480 --> 01:11:06.240
yes, yes. Come on, come on, come on. Any religious ideas that are

1077
01:11:06.240 --> 01:11:08.560
keeping you stuck right now, Lord, we just pray that you

1078
01:11:08.560 --> 01:11:11.320
would bind those things up. Spirit of truth, that you would

1079
01:11:11.320 --> 01:11:16.980
just release the truth over each and every person. Every person,

1080
01:11:17.080 --> 01:11:27.720
every person. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes. Yes, yes,

1081
01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:32.480
yes. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Continue, continue,

1082
01:11:32.480 --> 01:11:37.240
continue, continue, continue, continue. Yes, Lord. We thank

1083
01:11:37.240 --> 01:11:49.780
you, God. Thank you, God. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Oh, yes.

1084
01:11:51.140 --> 01:11:54.100
Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own

1085
01:11:54.100 --> 01:11:57.860
understanding. But in all your ways, acknowledge him and he

1086
01:11:57.860 --> 01:12:02.700
will direct your path. Someone just receive that word right

1087
01:12:02.700 --> 01:12:11.480
now. Receive that word. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord.

1088
01:12:18.360 --> 01:12:20.560
Guys, I butcher names because I can't sound them out. But I'm

1089
01:12:20.560 --> 01:12:22.880
gonna try my best. Laurie Tichella, I just hear the Lord

1090
01:12:22.880 --> 01:12:25.800
saying that he is taking your ashes and he is making them

1091
01:12:25.800 --> 01:12:29.520
beautiful. There have been several things that have gone

1092
01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:33.100
wrong in the last six years that have been devastating to

1093
01:12:33.100 --> 01:12:36.420
your heart. Things that, you know, you're so disappointed by

1094
01:12:36.420 --> 01:12:38.860
and you've been discouraged by. Things not going the right

1095
01:12:38.860 --> 01:12:41.780
direction. Things not working out the way you wanted them to.

1096
01:12:42.120 --> 01:12:44.780
And God just wants you to know that the story is not over yet

1097
01:12:44.780 --> 01:12:48.820
and he's taking those ashes and he's making them beautiful. Just

1098
01:12:48.820 --> 01:12:51.900
begin to press in with him, begin to trust him. Go ahead

1099
01:12:51.900 --> 01:12:54.820
and take this 50 day challenge and begin to declare his

1100
01:12:54.820 --> 01:12:59.020
wondrous works over your life, over your family. He is not

1101
01:12:59.020 --> 01:13:02.160
through with you yet. There is a revival. There's a

1102
01:13:02.160 --> 01:13:05.800
restoration. There's a regeneration that's coming for

1103
01:13:05.800 --> 01:13:11.080
you. It's coming for you. It's coming for you. Yes, yes, yes.

1104
01:13:11.120 --> 01:13:15.440
It's coming for you. Yes, Lord. We just declare that over our

1105
01:13:15.440 --> 01:13:22.720
sister and come into agreement with it. Yes, don't give up.

1106
01:13:22.720 --> 01:13:26.520
Don't give in. If you don't quit, you win. That's the words

1107
01:13:26.520 --> 01:13:29.660
of that song. It's a prophetic utterance, you guys. That person

1108
01:13:29.660 --> 01:13:32.400
was singing from the Holy Spirit when they began to sing those,

1109
01:13:32.620 --> 01:13:36.060
sing those words. And that is why those words are so powerful.

1110
01:13:36.300 --> 01:13:39.900
Even when people re-sing them. Songs that are birthed by the

1111
01:13:39.900 --> 01:13:46.180
power of the Holy Spirit are powerful songs. Powerful songs.

1112
01:13:46.700 --> 01:13:50.280
Nothing that you've done or not done has surprised God. He

1113
01:13:50.280 --> 01:13:52.660
didn't choose you because of your goodness. He chose you

1114
01:13:52.680 --> 01:13:57.000
because of his. I love that y'all because I have a hard

1115
01:13:57.000 --> 01:13:58.520
time being good all the time.

1116
01:14:04.960 --> 01:14:08.960
I have a hard time being good all the time. You guys have a

1117
01:14:08.960 --> 01:14:13.960
hard time. Maybe none of you do. But that's why I'm so glad that

1118
01:14:13.960 --> 01:14:16.080
it's not based on my goodness, but his.

1119
01:14:16.660 --> 01:14:18.860
I mean, the 50 day challenge can start whenever you want it to

1120
01:14:18.860 --> 01:14:22.060
start. Start yesterday, can start today.

1121
01:14:25.860 --> 01:14:30.300
Guys, remember, it's just about priming that well. Has anyone

1122
01:14:30.300 --> 01:14:33.940
ever had like a, any kind of a well that you had to pump, you

1123
01:14:33.940 --> 01:14:37.340
had to prime it in order to get the water to come out? You guys

1124
01:14:37.340 --> 01:14:40.260
know what that is, right? You've seen that before. So let this 50

1125
01:14:40.260 --> 01:14:43.820
days just be like you declaring the world is yours. You're

1126
01:14:43.820 --> 01:14:46.960
praying in your prayer language. If you've received it, continuing

1127
01:14:46.960 --> 01:14:50.120
to believe and beginning to continue to practice it, the

1128
01:14:50.120 --> 01:14:54.680
flow. Okay. Go with the flow, go with the flow, praying the word,

1129
01:14:54.680 --> 01:14:57.680
declaring the word, and then you're going to be able to

1130
01:14:57.680 --> 01:14:58.520
practice it.

1131
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:06.420
word. Let's see what happens. Praying before you go on those

1132
01:15:00.520 --> 01:15:03.560
So let this 50 days just be like you declaring the word of God

1133
01:15:03.560 --> 01:15:06.680
over yourself, you know, praying in your prayer language. If

1134
01:15:06.420 --> 01:15:10.580
dates, praying before you get on those apps. In the spirit, if

1135
01:15:06.680 --> 01:15:09.640
you've received it, continuing to believe and beginning to

1136
01:15:10.580 --> 01:15:13.740
you if you're able to, if not in the word, which is good, is

1137
01:15:13.740 --> 01:15:19.540
amazing, is amazing, praying the word. Remember, just like all

1138
01:15:19.540 --> 01:15:22.080
the testimonies you've heard, don't give up. If you just have

1139
01:15:22.080 --> 01:15:25.100
a few syllables, just use those syllables. Remember, it's

1140
01:15:25.100 --> 01:15:29.120
supernatural, friends. Supernatural is supernatural.

1141
01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:33.120
In fact, the most supernatural things that I have ever

1142
01:15:33.120 --> 01:15:36.860
experienced were not complicated things. They were very simple.

1143
01:15:37.280 --> 01:15:43.280
They were very, very simple, simple, simple things. Yes.

1144
01:15:44.280 --> 01:15:46.400
People are putting things up, they're hearing in the spirit,

1145
01:15:46.400 --> 01:15:48.320
guys, whatever you're hearing in the spirit right now, as you're

1146
01:15:48.320 --> 01:15:51.080
pressing in with Holy Spirit, go ahead and put in the chat. It's

1147
01:15:51.080 --> 01:15:59.700
gonna bless somebody. Gonna bless somebody. Yes, yes, yes,

1148
01:15:59.700 --> 01:16:05.140
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

1149
01:16:07.420 --> 01:16:11.340
Yes, Gina from West Michigan, I'm just seeing a house. I'm

1150
01:16:11.340 --> 01:16:14.780
seeing a house when I see your picture and your name, I just

1151
01:16:14.780 --> 01:16:20.300
see a house. I see favor, I see open doors. Well, I just see the

1152
01:16:20.300 --> 01:16:25.320
Lord going before you like a realtor, like a, like a, like a

1153
01:16:25.340 --> 01:16:29.040
house finder. And Lord, we just thank you, God, whatever this

1154
01:16:29.040 --> 01:16:32.000
means, Lord, this word of knowledge, just release it,

1155
01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:35.800
Lord, I release it, God, you're going before her Holy Spirit,

1156
01:16:35.800 --> 01:16:40.280
you're leading and guiding her in places of habitation, Lord,

1157
01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:45.840
this thank you, Lord, just, yeah, just like, you know,

1158
01:16:45.840 --> 01:16:48.960
there's people that have jobs or like apartment locators, you

1159
01:16:48.960 --> 01:16:53.500
know, but a locator of a habitation, just Holy Spirit

1160
01:16:53.500 --> 01:16:57.660
just going before you and locating and so and leading and

1161
01:16:57.660 --> 01:17:02.140
guiding you. So we just release that over you right now. Our

1162
01:17:02.140 --> 01:17:07.020
friend there in West Michigan, I've lost you now, but you were

1163
01:17:07.020 --> 01:17:11.500
right here, but now you're gone. All right, leading and guiding.

1164
01:17:11.500 --> 01:17:21.100
Yes, amen. Right, people receiving personal words for

1165
01:17:21.100 --> 01:17:26.840
themselves from Holy Spirit. Love that. Love, love, love that.

1166
01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:53.420
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Right.

1167
01:17:56.840 --> 01:17:59.100
Yes, Lord. Thank you, God.

1168
01:18:07.140 --> 01:18:10.620
Who feels encouraged? Raise your hand. Raise your hand if you

1169
01:18:10.620 --> 01:18:15.460
felt the presence of the Lord, you felt the presence of Holy

1170
01:18:15.460 --> 01:18:43.760
Spirit. Yes, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Right, to be

1171
01:18:43.760 --> 01:18:49.380
obedient to the Lord and just say, you know, that Brittany

1172
01:18:49.380 --> 01:18:59.420
Johnson, God loves you. Loves you. And that is not that is not

1173
01:18:59.420 --> 01:19:01.620
a weak blessing, because God does love everyone. You're

1174
01:19:01.620 --> 01:19:04.340
right. He does. Your human reasoning will tell you that.

1175
01:19:04.940 --> 01:19:10.160
But he wants you to know that he loves you. It's important that

1176
01:19:10.160 --> 01:19:14.660
you understand that in this season of your life. He wants

1177
01:19:14.660 --> 01:19:19.700
you to know, God loves you, Brittany. Brittany Johnson, God

1178
01:19:19.700 --> 01:19:27.140
loves you. Yes, he does. He does. Brittany, God loves you.

1179
01:19:27.700 --> 01:19:36.900
Yes. Yes, he does. He does. Brittany, God loves you.

1180
01:19:40.420 --> 01:19:49.780
He does. He loves you so much. Hey, Brittany Johnson, God loves

1181
01:19:49.780 --> 01:19:50.140
you.

1182
01:19:58.900 --> 01:20:00.060
Sorry, all I can do is laugh.

1183
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:01.400
laugh because I know the Lord.

1184
01:20:03.040 --> 01:20:03.660
I know.

1185
01:20:03.660 --> 01:20:07.600
And he wants you to laugh and he wants you to feel the joy of the Lord.

1186
01:20:07.600 --> 01:20:08.840
He wants you to feel the joy.

1187
01:20:08.840 --> 01:20:12.420
We know that, you know, but he wants you to know, and he will not let

1188
01:20:12.420 --> 01:20:14.960
me stop saying, Hey, Brittany, I love you.

1189
01:20:15.960 --> 01:20:16.460
Yup.

1190
01:20:17.120 --> 01:20:19.000
He'll keep telling me too.

1191
01:20:20.440 --> 01:20:21.560
He loves you.

1192
01:20:22.880 --> 01:20:23.640
And you know what?

1193
01:20:25.760 --> 01:20:29.480
Not a bad, it's not a bad place to be, to know that God loves you.

1194
01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:31.180
Whoa.

1195
01:20:32.560 --> 01:20:34.120
And of course he loves all of you too.

1196
01:20:34.640 --> 01:20:39.520
Um, but he wants Brittany to feel the joy of his love tonight.

1197
01:20:40.280 --> 01:20:44.840
Um, yes, yes, yes.

1198
01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:46.800
Praise the Lord.

1199
01:20:48.240 --> 01:20:49.080
All right, friends.

1200
01:20:49.120 --> 01:20:49.880
Got anything, bubba?

1201
01:20:51.680 --> 01:20:52.160
Good.

1202
01:20:52.200 --> 01:20:52.880
That's a little good.

1203
01:20:53.840 --> 01:20:54.160
Right.

1204
01:20:54.160 --> 01:20:55.680
So go spend some time with the Lord.

1205
01:20:55.720 --> 01:20:57.960
Go ahead and let your, someone said, does it start today?

1206
01:20:57.960 --> 01:20:58.440
Sure.

1207
01:20:58.440 --> 01:21:00.040
Let your 50 days start today.

1208
01:21:00.040 --> 01:21:01.000
Let's start tonight.

1209
01:21:01.520 --> 01:21:02.480
It doesn't have to be the morning.

1210
01:21:02.480 --> 01:21:03.920
It could be at night before you go to bed.

1211
01:21:03.920 --> 01:21:06.280
It can be any time, right?

1212
01:21:06.280 --> 01:21:12.720
Just spending some time priming the pump, priming the pump, allowing Holy

1213
01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:17.240
spirit to just flow to you and through you.

1214
01:21:19.560 --> 01:21:19.960
Yes.

1215
01:21:19.960 --> 01:21:20.600
He loves you.

1216
01:21:20.600 --> 01:21:21.120
He loves you.

1217
01:21:21.120 --> 01:21:21.760
He loves you.

1218
01:21:21.760 --> 01:21:22.480
He loves you.

1219
01:21:22.480 --> 01:21:23.240
He loves you.

1220
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:27.840
And you guys remember for those of you that feel unworthy, you are.

1221
01:21:28.800 --> 01:21:35.160
You are a hundred percent unworthy.

1222
01:21:35.200 --> 01:21:36.320
You're so unworthy.

1223
01:21:36.320 --> 01:21:37.160
It's not funny.

1224
01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:39.560
Oh, you're so unworthy.

1225
01:21:39.960 --> 01:21:40.920
Just say that to yourself.

1226
01:21:40.960 --> 01:21:41.760
I'm unworthy.

1227
01:21:43.120 --> 01:21:46.160
You just need to, you're unworthy.

1228
01:21:46.640 --> 01:21:49.840
You are, but didn't stop him.

1229
01:21:50.680 --> 01:21:53.280
Didn't stop him from coming and dying for you.

1230
01:21:53.280 --> 01:21:56.520
And as you, you are unworthy.

1231
01:21:56.520 --> 01:21:57.520
So stop trying to earn it.

1232
01:21:57.520 --> 01:21:59.000
Cause you can't, it's a gift.

1233
01:21:59.040 --> 01:22:03.760
Receive it, receive it, receive it, receive it, receive it, receive it.

1234
01:22:04.680 --> 01:22:05.960
You are unworthy.

1235
01:22:06.160 --> 01:22:07.920
Remember he knew what he was getting into.

1236
01:22:11.520 --> 01:22:14.720
He knew all your weaknesses and frailties and eccentricities.

1237
01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:15.160
Trust me.

1238
01:22:15.160 --> 01:22:16.520
I'm very eccentric person.

1239
01:22:16.840 --> 01:22:20.880
He had, he knew all that stuff about you, all of that stuff.

1240
01:22:21.200 --> 01:22:22.680
I don't like to hear people chew.

1241
01:22:22.680 --> 01:22:25.720
I don't like when people talk to me when I'm trying to think about something

1242
01:22:26.760 --> 01:22:29.400
whole family full of people trying to talk to me when I'm trying to think.

1243
01:22:29.640 --> 01:22:30.560
I don't like that.

1244
01:22:31.160 --> 01:22:32.360
I don't like to hear people chew.

1245
01:22:32.400 --> 01:22:33.240
Did I mention that?

1246
01:22:33.880 --> 01:22:34.960
Hey, did I mention that?

1247
01:22:34.960 --> 01:22:37.920
I like to hear people chew at all.

1248
01:22:38.400 --> 01:22:42.360
Anything, not food, not gum, nothing.

1249
01:22:42.960 --> 01:22:45.480
I don't like the sound of forks on a plate.

1250
01:22:45.480 --> 01:22:47.640
So I don't like the sound of crinkling paper.

1251
01:22:47.760 --> 01:22:50.640
You know what it's like for me on a plane, I have to put on my headphones

1252
01:22:50.640 --> 01:22:51.840
and be like the girl in the bubble.

1253
01:22:51.960 --> 01:22:52.960
I gotta be in a bubble.

1254
01:22:53.200 --> 01:22:57.120
I got to put on worship music and just tune out the world because people are

1255
01:22:57.280 --> 01:23:01.600
sniffing their nose and they're making sounds and they're stuck in their teeth

1256
01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:04.200
and they're chewing things and they're crinkling paper.

1257
01:23:05.040 --> 01:23:06.720
And it makes me feel enraged.

1258
01:23:06.720 --> 01:23:07.320
Anyone else?

1259
01:23:07.320 --> 01:23:08.480
Like I feel enraged.

1260
01:23:08.480 --> 01:23:10.880
It's called misphonia and I've been trying to get healed from it.

1261
01:23:10.880 --> 01:23:11.880
Lord heal me.

1262
01:23:12.600 --> 01:23:13.840
But I've had it since I was a child.

1263
01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:17.120
They used to send me to bed during dinner time because I could not sit at the

1264
01:23:17.120 --> 01:23:19.920
dinner table with other people because it could be a bad experience.

1265
01:23:20.200 --> 01:23:24.200
Cause I could not handle mouth noises and chewing noises and plate noises.

1266
01:23:24.840 --> 01:23:26.760
It would make me start crying and freaking out.

1267
01:23:26.760 --> 01:23:28.600
And I'm still like that because you know what?

1268
01:23:29.640 --> 01:23:32.440
There's something wrong with me, but God loves me anyway.

1269
01:23:33.840 --> 01:23:34.640
He does.

1270
01:23:34.840 --> 01:23:36.160
He knew what he was getting into.

1271
01:23:37.080 --> 01:23:39.760
He was like, Oh, I can use Jackie as long as no one eats around her.

1272
01:23:39.760 --> 01:23:40.600
She'll be all right.

1273
01:23:41.640 --> 01:23:42.480
She'll be all right.

1274
01:23:43.840 --> 01:23:44.840
It's going to be all right.

1275
01:23:44.840 --> 01:23:50.160
Oh, so that's just one of the many eccentricities that I had.

1276
01:23:50.160 --> 01:23:52.520
Did I tell you that my husband, I'm not allowed to tell other people's

1277
01:23:52.520 --> 01:23:55.760
eccentricities, not allowed to tell other people's stuff.

1278
01:23:55.760 --> 01:23:56.960
You come in and confess yours.

1279
01:23:56.960 --> 01:23:57.680
Come on, hurry up.

1280
01:23:58.120 --> 01:23:58.920
What is my answer?

1281
01:23:58.920 --> 01:24:00.480
And that's interesting.

1282
01:24:02.560 --> 01:24:03.920
I'm going to give you charades.

1283
01:24:06.240 --> 01:24:06.760
Okay.

1284
01:24:06.920 --> 01:24:07.560
What is that?

1285
01:24:09.040 --> 01:24:10.920
My wife accuses me of road rage.

1286
01:24:10.920 --> 01:24:11.680
I'm like, what?

1287
01:24:12.680 --> 01:24:14.640
My wife accuses me of road rage.

1288
01:24:14.640 --> 01:24:15.480
He has road rage.

1289
01:24:15.480 --> 01:24:16.440
I don't accept it.

1290
01:24:16.720 --> 01:24:17.680
He does.

1291
01:24:18.000 --> 01:24:18.720
He does.

1292
01:24:19.000 --> 01:24:22.520
One of the, one of the fruit of the spirit is joy and laughter.

1293
01:24:22.760 --> 01:24:26.960
Um, you, you don't be honest to the people.

1294
01:24:27.000 --> 01:24:27.280
Yeah.

1295
01:24:27.280 --> 01:24:28.160
I get frustrated.

1296
01:24:28.360 --> 01:24:31.800
I, I, I do have a little hair trigger on certain things.

1297
01:24:32.440 --> 01:24:36.960
I have a lot of patients in certain ways, but in certain things like driving is

1298
01:24:36.960 --> 01:24:41.240
one of them where I have little patients and I'm always hurried to

1299
01:24:41.520 --> 01:24:41.920
long.

1300
01:24:41.920 --> 01:24:44.800
And so I know some of the root of this, but I'm still working through it.

1301
01:24:45.000 --> 01:24:45.520
Yes.

1302
01:24:46.400 --> 01:24:49.080
And you guys, those are just, that's just like, that's like the, that's

1303
01:24:49.080 --> 01:24:50.920
like the top that's the top of the list.

1304
01:24:50.920 --> 01:24:52.200
Those are the easy things.

1305
01:24:52.560 --> 01:24:53.920
And so we're all unworthy.

1306
01:24:53.920 --> 01:24:55.240
You guys, none of us are perfect.

1307
01:24:55.240 --> 01:24:58.120
It's important that you understand that we all have fears.

1308
01:24:58.120 --> 01:25:00.000
We all have, y'all get angry about.

1309
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:05.440
things. We all judge other people. We all gossip a little bit when we shouldn't like judging other

1310
01:25:05.440 --> 01:25:09.200
people talking about, you know, people, you know, I know that maybe you don't do that about the

1311
01:25:09.200 --> 01:25:14.080
people, you know, but you do it a lot about the people you don't know. You read about something

1312
01:25:14.080 --> 01:25:17.440
in the news and you're like, ah, I can't believe that person did that. That's not your business.

1313
01:25:19.120 --> 01:25:25.040
That's not any of your business, right? The celebrities and their love lives and all the

1314
01:25:25.040 --> 01:25:28.720
things. Oh, did you hear so-and-so broke up with their wife and had an affair? Oh,

1315
01:25:28.720 --> 01:25:34.080
I think they went gay. This happened that that's not your business. Okay. We all have failed

1316
01:25:34.080 --> 01:25:38.320
frailties. We all have failings. We all talk about other people when we shouldn't, even when

1317
01:25:38.320 --> 01:25:42.880
we're trying to be good, kind Christians, all of us get angry. All of us lose our tempers.

1318
01:25:43.680 --> 01:25:47.440
Even if we don't do it in front of people, some of y'all start murmuring under your breath. He

1319
01:25:47.440 --> 01:25:51.040
waits, you get in your car, you got self-control in the moment, but you don't have self-control.

1320
01:25:51.040 --> 01:25:54.960
When you get in your car, you get home. Then you'd be just talking up a whole storm of stuff

1321
01:25:55.760 --> 01:26:00.400
and you know who you are. And guess what? God loves us.

1322
01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:07.680
He doesn't take away Holy spirit from us when we mess up. In fact, some of the most

1323
01:26:07.680 --> 01:26:11.120
anointed times I've ever had in my life or when I was just being a jerk

1324
01:26:15.040 --> 01:26:19.760
in my flesh, there's no good thing, but in the spirit is life and peace.

1325
01:26:19.760 --> 01:26:21.360
And so we just released that over, you know,

1326
01:26:22.000 --> 01:26:26.320
Holy spirit just wanted to say all that stuff at the end, because it's important that you

1327
01:26:26.320 --> 01:26:31.040
understand that this is not about you. This is about Jesus. And since Jesus can't be with us

1328
01:26:31.040 --> 01:26:37.440
physically here on earth, his time on earth was not during our lifetimes. He sent another,

1329
01:26:37.440 --> 01:26:41.280
not just for the folks that were gathered in the upper room, but for all of us, you guys,

1330
01:26:41.280 --> 01:26:45.360
because he knew that we were not going to make it through this life without spiritual empowerment.

1331
01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:51.680
Do you guys realize, please listen. Do you guys realize without the spirit of God, without Holy

1332
01:26:51.680 --> 01:26:57.680
spirit in the earth, by the way, it's his time in the earth. Jesus's time on earth is over with.

1333
01:26:58.720 --> 01:27:05.200
Now we are the ones fulfilling his commission on earth. We're the hands and feet of Jesus.

1334
01:27:05.200 --> 01:27:10.160
We're in the mouth of Jesus. We're partnering with Jesus on earth through what? Through the

1335
01:27:10.160 --> 01:27:14.640
power of Holy spirit, the same power that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you.

1336
01:27:16.240 --> 01:27:21.600
But do you realize without that, without that, you guys, we would just be big humps of flesh.

1337
01:27:21.600 --> 01:27:25.120
We'd just be flesh walking around without that. You guys, there would be no good thing in us at

1338
01:27:25.120 --> 01:27:31.920
all. Without that, these would just be stories. The reason why the Bible comes alive is because

1339
01:27:31.920 --> 01:27:39.840
of Holy spirit. Otherwise it's just dead words on a page. What gives it life is Holy spirit.

1340
01:27:40.400 --> 01:27:43.520
That's why you can't read it without the help of Holy spirit. If you know what happens when

1341
01:27:44.240 --> 01:27:48.960
you read it without the help of Holy spirit, it brings death to you. You know why? Cause it's

1342
01:27:48.960 --> 01:27:56.400
supposed to the law destroys it kills, but the spirit gives life. You ever read that scripture,

1343
01:27:58.240 --> 01:28:03.040
reading the Bible without the interpretation, without the help, without the translation

1344
01:28:03.040 --> 01:28:11.040
of the spirit of God, the spirit of life, the spirit of peace without reading it with that

1345
01:28:11.040 --> 01:28:15.920
help, you're just going to be beating yourself up. All you're going to be doing is seeing all

1346
01:28:15.920 --> 01:28:22.240
your flaws, all the things that are wrong with you. The law was created to show you your need

1347
01:28:22.240 --> 01:28:30.800
of a savior. That's its whole purpose. That's why it exists. And so if you read the Logos

1348
01:28:31.440 --> 01:28:39.040
without the Ramah, okay. If you read the Logos without the spirit of God, and of course the

1349
01:28:39.040 --> 01:28:47.440
Ramah, the words coming straight from God through the spirit, you're going to be legalistic.

1350
01:28:49.360 --> 01:28:54.960
You're going to be religious. You're going to be hard, hard, hard on yourself, judgmental.

1351
01:28:56.400 --> 01:29:00.080
You're going to see all your fall flaws, all your failures. And guess what? You're going to be like

1352
01:29:00.080 --> 01:29:03.840
that on other people too. So if you're super critical of yourself and others, you need life

1353
01:29:03.840 --> 01:29:07.760
in the spirit. You need this more than anything else. You need tonight more than anything else,

1354
01:29:07.760 --> 01:29:12.480
more than everyone else, because you are beating yourself up. You're beating other people up.

1355
01:29:12.480 --> 01:29:18.640
Nothing's ever good enough because that's what happens when you read the word without

1356
01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:27.200
the help of Holy spirit. Okay. Whoever God is to you, he will be through you.

1357
01:29:29.440 --> 01:29:36.480
So raise your hand right now as we close tonight's gathering. If you feel like you're really,

1358
01:29:36.480 --> 01:29:41.600
really hard on yourself, you're not receiving the ministry of Holy spirit.

1359
01:29:42.480 --> 01:29:46.720
You feel like you're never measuring up. You're never enough. You feel like God's always mad at

1360
01:29:46.720 --> 01:29:50.720
you, or you haven't done enough to deserve or receive anything good from the Lord.

1361
01:29:51.440 --> 01:29:54.480
Raise your hand, get them up, up, up, up. You feel like

1362
01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:04.880
All the good things happen to other people and not you because you just don't you're just not worthy

1363
01:30:05.600 --> 01:30:07.040
not worthy

1364
01:30:07.040 --> 01:30:10.560
You're always trying to please god, but you're falling short all the time

1365
01:30:11.840 --> 01:30:13.200
Okay

1366
01:30:13.200 --> 01:30:14.320
friends

1367
01:30:14.320 --> 01:30:19.120
Those feelings those thoughts those ideas. They're not coming from god

1368
01:30:20.640 --> 01:30:22.640
Remember what jesus said in john

1369
01:30:22.720 --> 01:30:27.840
He said i'm going to send another that's going to be with you and in you and he's not going to testify of himself

1370
01:30:28.560 --> 01:30:30.560
He's going to testify of me

1371
01:30:31.600 --> 01:30:37.760
Of me jesus and he is going to remind you of all of the things that i've said and done

1372
01:30:39.920 --> 01:30:45.760
Guys the only thing that holy spirit can do when the bible says he convicts us. You know what that word really means

1373
01:30:47.600 --> 01:30:50.900
It means he convinces you of your righteousness

1374
01:30:52.800 --> 01:30:57.680
He doesn't convict you of sin he convinces you of righteousness there's a big difference there

1375
01:30:58.400 --> 01:31:00.400
Basically, he tells you who you really are

1376
01:31:02.320 --> 01:31:06.240
Hey, you don't need to do all this stuff over here you want to know why because you're a daughter of god

1377
01:31:06.320 --> 01:31:08.320
You're a son of god

1378
01:31:09.440 --> 01:31:13.200
You don't have to do this anymore because you've been set free you've been delivered

1379
01:31:13.680 --> 01:31:19.040
The conviction of holy spirit doesn't sound like you're bad. You're no good. You need to repent you need to change

1380
01:31:19.680 --> 01:31:22.160
It sounds like you're better than this

1381
01:31:24.400 --> 01:31:26.960
Jesus died before you and as you you're better than this

1382
01:31:28.240 --> 01:31:30.240
And you no longer need these things

1383
01:31:31.840 --> 01:31:33.840
Take the upgrade

1384
01:31:34.640 --> 01:31:36.640
That's what it sounds like

1385
01:31:37.340 --> 01:31:39.780
Convincing you of righteousness not convicting you of sin

1386
01:31:48.640 --> 01:31:52.240
Yes, lord, so right now that we ask that the ministry of holy spirit

1387
01:31:53.200 --> 01:31:58.180
The convicting ministry of holy spirit that convicts us of our sonship

1388
01:32:00.140 --> 01:32:08.080
Convinces us of our righteousness that jesus paid for us to have because our righteousness in our flesh and through works is filthy rags

1389
01:32:08.640 --> 01:32:10.240
And we release it

1390
01:32:10.240 --> 01:32:13.680
We release those filthy rags at the foot of the cross and we take on

1391
01:32:14.640 --> 01:32:18.640
The righteousness that's been blood-bought for each and every one of us

1392
01:32:19.280 --> 01:32:21.280
Freedom from sin

1393
01:32:22.640 --> 01:32:24.640
Freedom from condemnation

1394
01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:29.680
Free to walk in liberty who the son has set free is free indeed

1395
01:32:30.480 --> 01:32:36.480
And friends, you can only be free if you live in the spirit in your flesh and in the law, you will have death

1396
01:32:38.720 --> 01:32:42.640
You will have judgment but in the spirit

1397
01:32:42.720 --> 01:32:44.720
Spirit

1398
01:32:44.720 --> 01:32:51.280
You will have life you will have peace in jesus name. Amen. All right friends. Love you so much

1399
01:32:52.560 --> 01:32:54.800
Have a great one. Have a great night

1400
01:32:55.920 --> 01:32:57.920
I'll see you guys soon

1401
01:32:58.000 --> 01:33:00.000
Brittany johnson. God loves you

1402
01:33:01.360 --> 01:33:03.360
See y'all soon. Bye everybody
