We're laying a foundation for the activation tonight.
The main activation, if you're taking notes,
writing something down,
this is what you're going to be activated in this evening.
And that is speaking the language of heaven.
And there's a couple of different ways.
This is the only ways, but there's,
I just wanna capitalize on three main ways that we do that.
We do that, number one, again, like,
that's not the only way, but these are three main ways.
We meditate on the word and we speak his word.
What does his word actually say?
I'm talking about the Logos word.
I'm talking about the actual scripture.
What does the word say specifically?
For instance, nothing is impossible.
Nothing, with God, all things are possible.
Nothing is impossible to them who believe.
Those kinds of things, very specific Logos words
that we can repeat and we can, we use.
They're usually really broad wisdom statements
and they can be applied to so many things, right?
But sometimes just the word itself is just powerful.
One of my favorite words that the scripture says is that
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Great word.
So many different applications, right?
So there's the Logos word.
That's the meditating on the word.
We gotta know what the word says first
before we can speak it.
So you have to study the word
and you have to meditate on the word
in order to know what the word says, right?
And then you can speak it.
Oftentimes people memorize the word.
The second one is the Rhema word,
which is really the revelation of how that word
is applied to our specific situation
or how it's applied in the modern context.
We understand when you're, if you're a student of the word
or you're a student of scripture at all,
you understand that context is very important, right?
Sometimes you take an ancient word
and you're trying to apply it.
What does that mean in my modern world that I live in?
Like, I understand that I wanna get to the truth of that.
I wanna receive it, but I live in this modern world
with these weird modern problems
and I need to know how that applies.
And so the Rhema of how God's word applies
to the modern day situation is true.
So we can say nothing is impossible to them who believe.
Well, I believe that I can get a promotion at work.
I believe that I can have a healing in my body.
I believe I can have a breakthrough in my family.
I believe, like see how nothing is impossible.
Like you're looking at a situation that seemingly impossible
because of all the things you calculate in your head,
like, well, no, so-and-so would never do this
and so-and-so would never do that,
but my family's this and my body's this and my job.
And I mean, it seems impossible,
but the scripture says all things are possible with God.
And then when you lay that over your specific situation,
sometimes you get a Rhema understanding
of how that word can work in your situation.
So that's a Rhema word and the Spirit helps you with that.
Holy Spirit helps you with that.
And the third way that we want to activate you tonight
is speaking the language of heaven,
speaking in other tongues.
Speaking in a heavenly language.
Now, some of you do that already.
Some of you have been activated in that.
Some of you have been desiring to be activated that
in a long time and it's never happened for you or whatever.
Some of you may have just heard about this
and that's something that you heard about,
but you're not really sure.
Some of you may feel even otherwise
about speaking in tongues,
but I'm here to tell you that it is a blessed gift
of Holy Spirit to be able to speak in tongues
because sometimes there's just things
that you just can't articulate.
And I've been speaking in tongues my whole life
since I was the age, a very, very young age.
And I tell you what, it is one of the ways
that I can just focus in and go right in
just to connecting with heaven and the language of heaven
and the Spirit of heaven.
Like what's happening in the spirit realm.
That if you've been around believers
or you've been around Christian tradition
for any length of time,
you understand there's a spirit world.
There are things happening in the spirit, right?
And lots of times the truth is
is that things happen in the spirit first
before they happen in the natural.
And so if you wanna activate the spirit
around what your circumstances are,
then we have to have a connection point of that.
And that's what Jesus did for us.
Jesus provided the way, paid the price
to set everything right, and then took off and said.
that, hey, I, John says in Matthew 3, he says,
I came to baptize, John the Baptist,
I came to baptize you in water
for the purposes of regeneration,
for the purposes of repentance.
But Jesus, once coming after me,
that he is baptizing you in Holy Spirit,
in the Spirit and in fire.
How many of you need some spirit
and some fire in your situation?
There's some things that need to be consumed
in your situation.
There's some things that need to be dealt with,
with the power of the Spirit.
And I'm telling you, one of the powerful ways
for you to be able to do that is to be activated
in your personal prayer language, okay?
I don't want you to be concerned about that,
I don't want you to be scared about it,
I don't want you to be anxious about it,
I want you to just to be open and receive tonight
in this activation and go, you know what?
God, if this is for me, then I want it
because I want everything that you have for me,
so just be open to it tonight.
And we're gonna have some activation more
in that a little bit later on.
But I just wanna tell you about Holy Spirit a little bit.
We so, so, in the body of Christ,
we so misunderstand, we underappreciate
who Holy Spirit is.
Guys, Holy Spirit is God to you right now
in this day and age.
From a theological context,
Holy Spirit is the manifested presence of God
at work in the earth today.
In the Old Testament, God physically manifested
as a pillar of fire by night,
as a cloud, a pillar of cloud by day and a fire by night.
That was the literal manifested presence of God.
When Jesus was alive on earth in the gospels,
it was Jesus manifested as a man, as a person
in all of his humanness as the manifested presence of God.
And then when he ascended and left,
he allowed space for Holy Spirit to then come
and to dwell inside the life of the believer.
And so as you have activated your faith in Christ,
receiving the work of the cross
and the blood that was shed and the price that was paid
for your freedom and your salvation,
your deliverance and all of the stuff,
you have received the initial portion
of Holy Spirit in your life.
Your Holy Spirit has come to live on the inside of you
and begin to be activated.
But there is a certain baptism,
there's a certain moment of empowerment
that you can receive through the power of Holy Spirit
for you to have a greater understanding
of that being at work in your life
and not just being laying dormant, right?
So this is what tonight is about.
It is the main activation of learning how
to come into agreement with heaven
and activate heaven in your life.
Amen?
This is so good.
I'm telling you what, this is so powerful.
This is so necessary.
It's one thing to be saved and on your way to heaven.
It's another thing to learn how to activate heaven
in your life today.
Amen?
The scripture says that we can have life
and life more abundantly.
We can have heaven on earth.
We can activate, we can reach over into the spirit realm
and bring things into reality.
I mean, I'm not talking about weird, crazy,
sometimes it does seem a little weird.
I'm not talking about weird.
I'm just talking about normal things.
Things that are on your heart,
things that are on your mind that you're concerned about,
that are important to you, all right?
Holy Spirit, as established in chapter 12
and chapter 14 of 1 Corinthians,
is a distinct person of the Godhead.
It is not the third, you know, watered down version of God.
He is all God.
He is a person.
He is a member of the Trinity who operate in perfect unity
and such unity and agreement
that they constitute one Godhead.
God, the Father, Jesus, the Son, God, the Holy Spirit.
Amen?
These co-equal, co-eternal with God, the Father and the Son.
There's personal attributes the Holy Spirit has.
The Holy Spirit engages with the life of believers.
There's even personal pronouns that are involved
in scripture that we can see from this.
The Holy Spirit is actively involved
in the lives of believers in scripture.
In Titus, he empowers for ministry.
In John, he regenerates hearts.
In Acts, he guides into truth.
In John, he intercedes for us.
seeds for believers in Romans 8.
There's all kinds of things.
Holy Spirit is a distinct person who possesses
intellect, emotions, and will.
Amen?
So the person and the power of Holy Spirit
is established well in Scripture.
And he brings into us for the life of the believer
regeneration, indwelling.
He helps us to become sanctified,
to walk in sanctification.
He empowers us to do the things that we
don't feel like we can do in and of ourselves
because we're walking in this flesh suit.
Thank God.
There's things that I don't want to do that I do.
There's things that I do want to do that I don't do.
But I use the power of Holy Spirit.
I rely on the power of Holy Spirit
to sanctify me, to give the empower, to give me
indwelling, give me endowment to be
able to walk into those areas that I need help in.
Right?
So this is so powerful.
And one of the other things is that Holy Spirit
is your comforter, is your helper.
This is one of my favorite ones, my attributes of Holy Spirit,
is that he not only is a convictor of sin
for the unbeliever, but as you're a believer,
he is a convincer of righteousness.
That's so powerful.
As an unbeliever, you need to be convicted of your sin.
You need to understand the difference between what is
and what is not sin.
But as a believer, you need to be convinced over and over
and over again of your righteousness,
of who you really are in Christ, where your authority really
is, what resources you have available to you because now
you're connected to heaven.
That kind of convincing, that kind
of like, I am on your team.
You could do this.
I'm coaching you.
I will help you.
I will comfort you.
I will teach you.
I will echo the words of Jesus in your spirit
and in your heart and your mind so that you can remember them
and you can be empowered to go forth.
That is the job and the role of Holy Spirit
in the life of the believer.
Amen?
So I just want to lay that foundation for you
today to understand that this is what you're
going to be activated in tonight.
And that is an enduement of power.
If you're open and receptive for it tonight,
and even if you've had this moment of your life,
you can be refreshed and renewed again tonight
in this activation.
And I have some helpers that's going
to help me with this tonight.
And we're just going to allow God to just have his way.
So we're done kind of taking notes.
If you want to just sort of get in an attitude of like
receiving, whatever that looks like, you can fold your hands.
You can close your eyes.
You can open your hands.
You can sort of just be receptive.
And just allow God to come into your space
and into your heart and into your mind
and really just impact you tonight.
Allow your life to be changed.
There isn't anybody on this Zoom call
tonight that doesn't need their life to be changed or shifted
in the right direction.
We all need a difference.
We all need a different perspective.
We all need a revelation.
We all need empowerment.
We all need a shift.
So we're all going to receive it as just as a body tonight.
And there's going to be some individual ministry as well.
So I want to introduce Tim Austin to you.
Tim is a friend of ours from our church.
And of course, Sarah's on here as well.
She's going to be helping activate
as the Holy Spirit leads.
But Tim is a brother of the Lord who attends our church.
He is an evangelist and did missions work for seven years
in a Muslim nation in northern Africa, where he built,
he and his team built six different Bible schools
in Arabic in those Muslim countries
and brought truth and brought empowerment
and brought change and revival to the underground church
that's there in these places.
And that's a little bit of his history.
He comes out of the Brownsville revival,
a lot of activation that was happening there in his life
personally, and now just continues to minister.
He has his own business, a multimillion dollar business
that he operates and runs.
This guy is incredible.
And he's a member of our church.
And he goes around just activating people
in the power of Holy Spirit.
And so we invited him on and we said, Tim, we'd come
and we'd be part of our activation tonight
and just allow Holy Spirit to use you
and to activate individuals in the power of Holy Spirit.
specifically in their prayer language.
So I don't want you to be intimidated by this.
I want you to be just open to it because trust me,
as someone who's been walking with the Lord
for almost 50 years and just, you know,
relying on the power of Holy Spirit
to get you through every situation,
speaking in tongues is a respite.
Speaking in tongues is not weird or strange.
It is an adornment of just an opportunity
to meet, to connect personally with heaven.
So I want you to be open to it tonight.
Hey, Tim, are you there?
I'm here, David.
Thank you for being with us tonight.
And I wish that you would just,
you can maybe establish a few things,
whatever's on your heart,
but just lead us in this activation, if you will,
in power of Holy Spirit.
Sure, would love to.
I grew up in a denominational background where,
you know, with generations of my family being Baptist.
And so we had a really good handle on the word,
but other than Holy Spirit, like convicting people of sin
and drawing them to salvation,
he was pretty much dead other than that, you know?
I mean, he was pretty much neutered
to do anything else, you know, in the church
as far as, you know, releasing power and things like that.
So that's a little bit of the background that I came in.
I've been all over the world, ladies and gentlemen,
and seen people receive a baptism,
just like you're baptized in water.
I've seen people get a baptism in the Holy Spirit
and the fire of God come on them
and they're never the same.
Yeah.
They are just never the same after that.
And so a lot of, you know,
freaky, weird teaching has gone around in the church.
I understand that about Holy Spirit,
about speaking in tongues and things like that.
But what I want to tell you is that, you know,
those of you who know the word,
those of you who've read the Bible quite a bit,
you know, you look in 1 Corinthians 12 and 14,
you see a lot about,
you see a lot about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
You know, you see a lot about prophecy,
words of wisdom, words of knowledge, healing,
tongues and interpretation of tongues.
What I want to tell you all
that know quite a bit of the word,
know quite a bit of the Bible,
that the gift of tongues in 1 Corinthians 12 and 14
is an apple.
Speaking in your prayer language, praying in the Spirit
and singing in the Spirit
and worshiping in the Spirit is an orange.
They're two totally different things.
So, and that's one thing coming from a Baptist background
that I did not understand for a long, long, long, long time.
And it messed me up as far as being able to activate
and flow in heavenly language,
like what you were talking about, David.
So those of you who come from a more evangelical,
traditional background, believe me, you can get past this.
And you can activate something very powerful in your life.
And let me tell you why you need to be able
to pray in the Spirit.
The reason you need to be able to pray in the Spirit
is you don't know how to pray.
Sometimes you don't.
Yeah, you don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow,
next week, next month, next year.
You don't know all the details behind all the problems
that are going on with your family, with your kids,
with your parents, with all of your friends,
you know, your circle of friends.
Does Holy Spirit know what's gonna happen tomorrow
and next week and next month and next year?
Absolutely.
He's got a clear line of sight on that.
Does Holy Spirit know all the details
of all the problems in your circle?
Absolutely.
Now, when you activate this gift,
when you activate this heavenly language,
you are able to pray about these things in such detail
and with such power that you see things shift and move.
Yeah.
And that's the cool thing about being able to pray
in your, you know, pray in English
and also pray in the Spirit.
You know, Paul says, I'll pray with my understanding
and I'll also pray in the Spirit.
And it's a powerful thing.
And a lot of the church doesn't go for it
because they don't understand.
And their theology is tilted.
in a way where, hey, that just doesn't happen anymore.
It's much easier to say,
hey, these things just don't happen anymore,
so we're not gonna deal with them.
But they do.
And I've seen it all over the world.
That's so good.
You know, Paul, just like you were talking about,
like your background, Paul had that background.
He had that evangelical background,
that traditional sort of situation.
And he came and he had that Damascus experience, right?
He met Jesus, baptized, he's empowered in the spirit.
He goes, I wish that you all operate like I do.
As a matter of fact,
I actually speak in tongues more than all of you.
Like what he was saying was just like, I do this a lot.
You may not think so, but I do this a lot,
even in my own self, in my own situation.
So yeah, you can get past it.
And it doesn't have to be very difficult
and strange or anything.
And I've seen people all over the world receive this.
And it's not hard, it's not spooky.
It's just as easy as puckering your lips
and receiving a kiss.
It's really that easy.
And it's a gift.
And you know, my dad is a very good guy.
He's a good father.
He likes to give good gifts to his kids.
He really does.
So I've seen people who've never done it,
do it for the first time
and it'd be powerful in their lives.
I've seen people who've been doing it all their lives,
maybe receive a new language
that they'd never have before.
And both aspects of it are really neat to see.
Yes, yes.
Well, let's just pray.
Let's just open, let's just assume that posture again
of just receiving what Holy Spirit has for us tonight.
And Father God, we just come to you right now.
We just thank you.
We thank you, Lord, for your original thought
of each one of us.
The original idea that you had for each one of us
to exist and to be, and you brought us into being.
And then everything went wrong
and you sent your son to redeem it all,
to pay the price for us.
And then Holy Spirit is now here
and empowering us to do right, to live right,
to solve problems, to move forward
and empower us to be everything that we can be
as sons and daughters of God.
So now, Father God, we just come to you
and ask right now, Lord, that you would just,
empower us, Jesus, you are the baptizer
in the Holy Spirit.
Baptize us, we ask you right now,
in the power of Holy Spirit.
Baptize us with fire and in the Spirit.
Baptize us right now.
Fill us now with Holy Spirit
and let it be manifested in this place
and this time together.
Jesus, thank you.
Hallelujah.
Shanda labaha sabara mabarakusa.
Lambaha rahna lalaba shukur lalaba asa.
If you've never spoke in other tongues,
sometimes it just starts as just one little syllable.
I, when I started speaking in tongues,
it's shanda, shanda, shanda, shanda, shanda,
that was all it was.
I was just willing to just articulate something
and I was willing to just be open to receive it.
And I was looking, David, at your comments off to the side.
Somebody, Bonnie, you asked,
do you understand what you're saying
in the heavenly language or is it gibberish to you?
Most of the time, you're not gonna understand
what you're saying.
And because you're praying,
you're allowing Holy Spirit to pray through you.
Yeah.
Something that bypasses this and flows from this.
Yeah.
It bypasses your mind and it flows from your heart.
And it's a powerful thing.
And like I said, there has been a lot of confusing
and really weird teaching in the church about this
that have kept a lot of people away from it.
So those of you who wanna receive,
I want you just to put your hands out.
out in front of you, like I'm giving you a gift
and you're just kind of taking it, okay?
This is a prophetic act.
So just put your hands out in front of you,
like I'm gonna hand you a package
or like I'm gonna hand you a gift, okay?
And here's how one of the early Pentecostal fathers
used to do it, and I like the way he used to do it.
He'd basically get in a room full of people
and he'd say, okay, I'm gonna count to three.
And when I say three, everybody in the room speak in tongues.
And the reason he did that, I think,
is because to give people a point of contact
at which to start,
it's kind of like pulling the handle on a lawnmower.
Yeah.
So what I'm gonna do is I just want you
to put your hands out in front of you
and I'm gonna count to three.
And David, would it cause mass chaos
if everybody unmuted?
Would that like, I don't wanna cause mass chaos,
but I want everybody's participation.
I want everybody's buy-in.
It can be a little crazy, but we'll allow it for,
we'll allow it for a moment so that if we get-
Okay, okay, allow it for like 60 or 120 seconds, okay?
Yeah, let's do it.
Okay, everybody on the call
that wants to participate in this, no pressure.
No pressure.
Unmute, and here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna count to three.
And when I say three,
all of us speak something out of our mouth
that's not English.
And just do it by faith and see what happens, okay?
So Father, right now, I just release
the power and fire of the Holy Spirit.
I release the power and fire of the Holy Spirit.
Right.
Yes.
All right, I muted everyone for a moment
just so we could get some clarity on that.
Isn't that beautiful?
Beautiful, heavenly chaos in the name of Jesus.
That's so good. Let me get you. Unmute yourself there, Tim, if you got, can you do that?
I can, yeah.
Go ahead.
Yep. So, listen, guys, what I want to tell you is you can do this anywhere and anytime, okay?
This is something that you flip the switch on and you flip the switch off, you know?
You can drive down the road, praying in the spirit. You can be in the middle of a shower,
praying in the spirit. You can be at the stove cooking. You can be out mowing your grass,
praying in the spirit. And, you know, at some point in all of our lives, we run out of English
vocabulary to pray things that we still know in our heart something needs prayer. And that's when
this gift is activated. And it's just a really cool thing to be able to do.
So it's not a have to, it's a get to.
Amen. Amen. Sarah, do you have anything by way of encouragement, prophetic,
anything that the Lord has like highlighted to you tonight you want to add?
Just in general or about tongues?
About tongues, about in general, but and also about tongues specifically.
Yeah, I just the one thing I'd say about tongues is it's the only gift of the spirit
that's for the individual. And so I know for me in my process, so I'm just releasing this testimony
is that, you know, I didn't think I could speak in tongues for like a year. I kept asking for
the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And sorry, my camera's off. And I realized that I got it the
first time I asked. When I read Luke 1113, it says, you know, I'm paraphrasing, but it says,
you know, if your son asked for bread, you don't give him a snake.
And then it ends with how much more the Father will give the Holy Spirit.
And so that was why I'm having feedback. But, you know, but the first time you asked for the
Holy Spirit to come and baptize you in his presence in tongues, you get it. And then I
asked my pastor, how do you pray in tongues? And he said, open your mouth. And I got so mad.
And then I went home and tried it. And it's like David said, it was like a couple syllables.
So that's the scripture reference for Luke 1113, that when you ask for the Holy Spirit,
the Father will give it. And so I prayed for a year for it and I had it the first time I asked.
So whoever that is, today's the day you got it the first time you asked.
Yeah. If you ask that tonight, so let me, yeah, let's just echo that because if you asked
for that tonight and you were like genuine in your heart, like, yeah, I want this.
You were filled with this ability tonight. You were filled with Holy Spirit and activated in
this and you can do this. And Ephesians encourages us that as we're operating and we're learning to
operate in the gifts of the Spirit, that it is by reason of use, meaning that the more you use it,
the better you get it. It's just like anything. The more you exercise, the better you get it
exercise. The more you write is the better you get at writing. The more you do anything,
the better you get at it. So as you activate yourself in this, knowing that even the,
how many of you believe that even just one word of the scripture can change something?
Just one word, right? Well, if that's true, then it is true that in the heavenly language,
one word of your heavenly language. So even one syllable can start to bring about change in your
life. So start with wherever you're comfortable with. And then by reason of use, begin to grow
in this gift that you've been given tonight, the power of speaking in tongues and in the Spirit.
Amen. David, similar to Sarah, it took me three years coming out of a Baptist background to
receive this because my expectations were different than reality. My expectations were
this invisible lightning bolt will come out of heaven, strike me in the head, that something
invisible would take control of my mouth without my participation and start yapping in this other
language. And that never happened. So I never received anything until, like Sarah said,
I opened my mouth and started speaking something out
that wasn't English by faith.
And then I had everybody and their brother
laying hands on me,
thinking that that was what was going to happen.
It was not going to require my participation
because I wanted God to do it.
Yeah.
And I came at it with a sincere heart.
But when I did get it,
I looked at the minister that was praying for me.
I was like, was that it?
And he's like, uh-huh.
Okay.
Not what I was expecting.
He's like, I don't care what you were expecting.
That's it.
Yeah, the point of contact,
you know, Jesus healed so many people.
We understand this, right?
And there was even one instance,
several instances where he healed all, right?
But the point of contact is expressed
in many different ways.
Many times Jesus spit in the mud,
make mud, put on eyes.
He touched them.
He was walking down the street.
Someone touched the hem of his garment.
There were so many points of context.
The point of contact isn't as important
or the way it comes isn't as important as that it comes.
So you could be driving in your car.
Jackie's testimony when she was baptized in Holy Spirit,
she was in her living room and she was singing.
I think I'm getting it right here.
And she just started speaking in tongues
because she had been praying for it and believing for it
and hands laid on her and all the things
and you can do it at an altar.
You can do it in sort of that demonstrative way.
But so many people have had this encounter with the Lord
in so many different ways.
It all just depends on your point of receiving.
Where's your faith at?
Like, not like you have faith,
but what is your faith on?
And your faith could be, you know what?
I believe I could receive this just right now
here in my living room in the quiet
or some music on or from whatever it is,
the environment, whatever it is that means something to you.
Can I jump off of that from what Jackie shared yesterday?
Yesterday on Supernatural Saturday,
she talked about you can't throw the baby out
with the bath water.
And she was discipled by the Pentecostal church
for 10 years.
And then she realized there were some legalistic things.
But I just felt when you asked me that, David,
I just felt like there were some people on tonight
that you've thrown the baby out with the bath water
because some human misrepresented the Lord.
Yes.
And there's an invitation tonight for you
to receive what God has to give you,
what the Holy Spirit has to give you
and not let that person who hurt you,
rob you of your full inheritance in the kingdom.
And so as a leader in just in the church and on here,
I just stand in the gap and ask forgiveness
for where the church has hurt you.
Yes.
And just say, would you forgive me for controlling you?
Would you forgive me for making you feel less than?
Would you forgive me for where I overlooked you
and didn't explain what you were trying to understand?
Would you forgive me?
But do not let what that person did rob you
of the inheritance you have in the kingdom.
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water,
like Jackie said.
It breaks my heart when good and well-meaning people
who love God have been hurt by those individuals,
especially who were supposed to be representing him
in a certain level of authority.
It happens all the time.
It's a real thing.
We all know it, but it just breaks my heart.
I'm especially attuned to that.
And I'm so glad you brought that up, Sarah,
because it brings me to tears.
And I was just gonna do the same thing
because I did vocational ministry for 20 years
and I've been that person.
I don't mean like in terms of just trying to hurt people.
I'm just saying I've been in that position
of church leadership where I know that that happens
and I get it.
And so I do the same thing.
I say, I'm sorry.
As a person who has stood in that position
of church leadership,
that I ask you to forgive us, forgive me for hurting you,
for abandoning, for just rejecting,
for using you for what you could bring to the table
or whatever it was that you were hurt in that context.
Because that's so important.
So good that you brought that up
that I don't want you to miss out on the good things of God
just because other people were acting badly
or didn't even know what they were doing
because they were just ignorant.
They were just ignorant
because they didn't know how to handle their responsibility
and their gifting in a way
that was trying to be a blessing.
So that's very powerful.
I know there's a lot of people.
We hear it all the time, not just in this community,
but just all over our sphere of influence.
We're in touch with Christian people all the time.
And so many people are hurt by just the form of religion.
And I hate it, and I hate it.
And God's doing something about it
because there's a revival happening
in the mode of church and all that.
And we'll just let Holy Spirit direct all that.
But I'm just telling you what, there's a new day.
There's a new day coming.
There's a new mode.
There's a new revelation.
There's a new authorization.
There's a new experience.
And God is always moving,
and you can either ride the wave or get overcome by it.
And I prefer to learn how to serve
and to ride the wave in Jesus' name.
Yeah, and I was gonna say to everyone,
like hurt people hurt people,
but heal people heal people.
Yes.
Heal people heal people.
I'd heard that hurt people hurt people forever,
but it wasn't until I met some of my community now
that I realized heal people heal people.
And when I became a leader in the church,
I was meeting with my pastor like three weeks later.
And I said, you trust me more than I trust myself.
And she said, that's because you're trustworthy
and you've been hurt and I have authority in your life
and I'm gonna walk with you.
And you're gonna, the only way to get healed
from what you've been hurt is to go back into it.
I mean, Jackie and David's story,
like your marriage now, you know what I mean?
Like it's a perfect testimony of like being hurt
and then getting healed and now helping us all heal.
So heal people heal people.
So good.
Thank you, Sarah.
Thank you for sharing that.
That's so powerful.
I do wanna open it up for a little bit of time
of like, if there's any individuals,
Sarah, if you can do this, if you want to,
if you feel that, Tim,
if it's anybody that's highlighted to you specifically
right now, no pressure,
but just like there's anybody on here
that God's speaking to you that you have a word for,
I wanna encourage you to do that, open that up.
Anybody in particular?
Not particular, but there was one thing
as I was praying about through what Jackie said
for everyone.
Another thing is that she said yesterday
on Supernatural Saturday that we know so much about God,
we forget to talk to Him.
And we listen so much to other people talking about God,
we forget to talk to Him.
And I just feel like God,
like God wants to have a conversation with you.
Yeah.
Like you, not just me, not just David, not just Tim,
but like God wants to talk to you.
And she said, when you're driving in the car,
when you're washing dishes,
and so that is a word that I felt that was for everybody
is like, have a conversation with God.
Like you would talk to a friend,
because we are friends.
That's so good.
I come to the Lord all the time after a season
of just like, haven't heard from you for a while.
And I'm like, yes, it's been a minute, God, I'm sorry.
Yeah, so about that, like, here's what's going on.
And I just start, I just,
sometimes I'm even kind of resistant to it at first
because I'm just like,
oh, I just don't feel good about it.
Cause I'm like, oh, I'm kind of like avoiding it almost.
Like, you know, you're avoiding that person
that you know you need to say something to
or ask them for something,
or it's just like a family member or whatever that is,
that uncomfortableness.
And sometimes I'm just like,
oh yeah, it's been a minute, Lord.
Okay, so let me just dive into it.
And so sometimes you just have to just step into it
and just do it.
Just like Nike says, just do it.
And this is the same thing.
Learn how to pray in other tongues to just do it.
Just do it.
It's gonna be life changing.
It's gonna be awesome.
It's gonna shift you from one thing to another.
You'll be surprised at what God does inside of you
as a result of this new level that you're gonna go to
if you've never done this before.
And if you've done it for years, get a new language,
get a new version of the tongue,
sing in a different key.
Don't sing in the same key, sing at a different key.
Resonate at a different vibration.
Allow Holy Spirit to take you up
to another level of understanding and empowerment tonight.
Receive this.
How many of you receive this?
How many of you receive this tonight?
Raise your hand if you are receiving any of this tonight.
David, there really is almost like a.
language muscle, you know, that the more you use it, the stronger it gets, and the more
you're able to do with it, so it's, it's, it's, it's, you could, you really can develop
it like a muscle, and so just put, put, put that in your heart and let that, let that
stew a little bit, and, and you'll see the more you use it, the, the, the greater variation
will come out, and, and, and it'll come out at the, sometimes the most unexpected times
when you're just minding your own business, not doing anything spiritual, not listening
to worship music, not thinking about Jesus, not thinking about God, but all of a sudden,
you'll just find yourself kind of mumbling under your breath in the spirit.
I want to tell you that one of the manifestations and the uses of speaking in tongues, a couple,
let me just educate you a little bit on this, speaking in tongues can be first and foremost
the most direct, one of the most direct ways we can come into agreement with heaven, because
when you're speaking in tongues, you're literally speaking a spiritual language that's known
in heaven, okay, so you're speaking spirit words, you're speaking accurately when you're
using tongues to do that.
Number two, it is a way for you to build your faith, like scripture says in James, it's
a way to edify yourself and build yourself up, so when you need empowerment, when you
need strength, when you need like that extra dose, use your tongues to go into that, and,
in another way, is that not only when you don't know what to pray, but you can intercede
with speaking in tongues, it's a way to be able to powerfully intercede in a situation
that is very troublesome or unknown or very distant from you, or interceding in a way
that you just know that like this requires growing, there's something here, I just know
that something needs to shift, I don't know how to do it, but I'm going to go into tongues
and I'm going to use my prayer language to intercede for something, and sometimes that
can be very powerfully emotional because usually intercession comes upon you, if you will allow
Holy Spirit to use you in the way of intercession, he will use you to be able to bring breakthrough
for other people, and it's a very powerful heavenly scriptural activity is to intercede
on the behalf of others, because you know what, Jesus does it for you, Holy Spirit does
it for you, Holy Spirit intercedes for you, and so therefore you should intercede and
you can be an intercessor for other people, so sometimes you're very emotionally attached
or aware of a situation, if it's a family member or a friend or someone who's very close
to you, that you know that they need a breakthrough, they need a healing, they need a deliverance
of some sort, they need whatever, and so sometimes those are things where Holy Spirit can use
the gift of intercession to come upon you, if you'll allow it, and speaking in tongues
can be very, very powerful in that way, amen?
So I just want to encourage you tonight, there's so many different manifestations of this and
so many different reasons why we could be here all night talking about the different
benefits and reasons of stepping into this, but I'm telling you what, it's powerful and
it can start with just even one little syllable, if that's what it takes.
I've seen people like from the very beginning, just like they just got it, you know, and
so it can come all sorts of ways, if you'll let it, if you just receive it, it's a gift
and it's yours.
David?
Yeah, yeah.
Could I share something, or you can unmute me?
Go ahead.
I have struggled with this for so long because of my upbringing, until one year, and it was
like half a year into this program.
Wow.
And, sorry, I understood what it meant and what it means, and I have a heavenly language,
and I didn't know that I had one.
Wow.
And when it comes out, like, I feel it.
I feel what it means within me, but I don't have the words for it.
Right?
And so it's something else coming out of me.
It's the Holy Spirit coming out of me.
Yeah, because I don't have the words for it.
Yeah.
And then when I was watching you tonight and you were saying
about religion and everything and
I have been really hurt by church.
As well as a lot of people have and you looked into the camera
and
you
Hmm.
Sorry, you are sorry.
With what you did whatever in that moment.
It was supernatural
and
it released me
from the pain that I've been caused for my ex-husband who
was a minister.
Wow.
So I just want to thank you for that.
So awesome.
Yes.
That's so awesome.
Thank you for sharing that because that's so powerful.
Thank you for allowing me to thank you.
Yeah.
No, thank you for sharing that.
Like I said, so many people have
have the sort of the church where they just heard but the
same time
so many of you are facing just so many obstacles.
We all do
we all face so many obstacles.
There is there is one who is the enemy of your soul
that wants more than anything for you to be destroyed.
But I tell you what you have overcome
and you have overcome by the power of the spirit
because the spirit of life and Christ Jesus has come into you
tonight and as in a deeper way a special way
to empower you to walk this out.
There is a newness about you
whether you feel it right now or you feel it later on
maybe even tomorrow you wake up with sort of just a renewed
like, oh my gosh, I don't know what that's kind of like
different.
The sun is going to shine brighter
in a ways things are going to shift
things are going to surprise you and I'm just speaking
prophetically now because I really believe that this is
necessary
for some of you for you to see something
just different
whether it manifests tangibly or whether it's just something
you feel that's just different about your life
inside of you and your soul, whatever it is.
I just prophetically speak that out that you are shifted
tonight.
Each one of you are beautiful.
You are necessary.
You are powerful
your words
bring change your actions make a difference.
Your life is different now.
Like Jackie says, I'm Jackie D.
If you're new to me, welcome to me.
Your life has changed now.
Your life is different now.
I'm telling you what
your life is changed
because God is good.
Yep.
Let me just practically what David's saying
is like if my my five-year-old niece was just here and if I
tell her
we're going to get a donut.
She's like, yeah,
she really is picture
but she doesn't know how she's going to get there.
She can't drive.
She doesn't have money.
She receives that donut by faith.
So
all you have to do is receive what we prayed
like a five-year-old receiving a donut.
You don't need to know how
you don't need I need to understand
you just need to be like, thanks Jesus.
Thanks.
Holy Spirit.
Yes, and that's that's Hebrews 11, but faith is being sure of
what we hope for that like my niece and the donut
and certain of what we do not see.
She has no idea how to get there.
Yeah, just receive it by faith.
And then if you haven't spoken in tongues yet, like Tim said,
like I said,
open your mouth
and speak in tongues by faith.
Like
it's
you can't understand it.
If we understood
we'd be God and it says
Proverbs 3 5 trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean
not on your own understanding like permission
to not understand like Jesus.
I love that.
He wrote that in the scripture because he knew that we try to
understand
there's comfort in that.
So I just wanted to share that because sometimes it's that
practical step of like
so she's like, yes.
And so when we're like you can speak in tongues.
If you prayed for it tonight,
you just have to go.
Yes, turn your brain off and just agree with your spirit.
Yeah,
I'm telling you what your yes is dangerous.
And I had I tell that story.
I don't know if I've
most of you heard it.
But I we had a homeless guy one time and interrupted a
conversation as meeting a new friend for the first time in
person.
And we only had a few minutes to meet for coffee and this
homeless guy interrupted us or he was houseless,
but he was set by the Lord.
He said,
Like, hey, can I join your conversation?
Because I hear you talking about God.
And it's a long story short.
He tells this whole story about, you know, what God's doing in his life and so forth.
He said, you know what, I argued, I fought, I struggled, I resisted.
I was quiet. I went away.
I came back. You know, he goes, but you can do all that.
Just don't say no to God.
That homeless guy, just that was his message is just don't say no.
And I don't want to the converse of that is your yes is dangerous.
It's not only powerful, but your yes is dangerous.
So when you say yes.
When you say yes, it's on.
It's going to happen.
Because God is faithful, he's just he's good.
He wants to make things happen in and through your life more than you want to.
So when you partner with heaven and you say yes.
It's happening.
So just be open, be receptive, be obedient in Jesus name.
Tim, do you have anything else for us to share tonight, brother?
No, no, no.
I think we accomplished what we set out to do.
Tim, I appreciate you being on here.
Check your chat, though.
Somebody had a question for you, Tim, and I direct messaged you or tagged you in it.
I can't remember what it was, and it was pretty far back.
It's actually mean it was about the difference between speaking in tongues
and speaking in worship.
Yeah, that was that was my question.
I think the difference between speaking in tongues and speaking in worship is the
in tongues and speaking in worship is the same difference between, you know,
praying and singing.
You know, you're you're you're still using your voice and, you know, you're
you're speaking when you're speaking in tongues, you're you're you're praying,
just like I'm talking to you.
And then when you're when you're worshiping, you're you're you know, you're
singing in tongues.
You know, Paul Paul talks about in scripture, I'll pray with my spirit and pray
with my understanding. I'll sing with my spirit and I'll sing with my understanding.
You can do both.
Yeah.
Yeah, typically, I would say that in a singing
context, it is more of a worshipful moment.
So in in in what you're accomplishing or what you're doing is you're you're edifying
and you're worshiping, you're lifting up and you're praising and you're connecting
in the spirit. So it's a worshipful act as opposed to a prayerful act, which is more
declaration speaking, conversating in a way.
So we understand the difference between song and communication and speaking
communication, like the difference in the two.
They're just used.
They both communicate.
They both translate, but they do it in different ways
and for different reasons, I would say.
Thank you.
Any other questions on here that we missed?
I love this, I want to answer this, what if you don't feel anything, are you supposed to
feel the Holy Spirit? You can feel Holy Spirit, but you don't have to.
And I tell you what, if you if you journey with it.
And you're open to it, I believe that eventually you will, because I believe
that God is the God of your emotions as well, and I believe he uses your emotions to help
you, but it doesn't have to be emotional, doesn't have to be.
So don't be don't limit don't limit your experience by having to say, oh, this has to be
emotional. I have to feel something.
You don't have to feel something, but you can.
OK, thank you for answering that question.
So I have a question.
The spiritual language.
Your heavenly language is different than speaking in tongues where it's interpreted
for the body of Christ, correct?
Yeah, that was something that Tim addressed from the beginning, that the gift of prophecy
and then like the gift of tongues and the interpretation of tongues is more of an
operation of a gift of the spirit.
Correct me if you want to add to this to clarify this.
And then you're speaking of your heavenly language, your own personal tongue is your
own personal prayer language.
Those are two different things.
Like that's the apples and the oranges things.
That's right. Is apples and your own prayer languages.
Oranges is two totally different things.
That's right. The gift of tongues in first.
Corinthians 12 and 14, that is for when you're in a body of believers somewhere.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a church, but you could be in a church or a house group
or something like that, and somebody stands up and they have a word in tongues, you know,
and they rattle off in tongues, and then somebody else stands up and says, hey, I think I have the
interpretation of that, and that's very valid to happen in, you know, any kind of meeting between
believers, and usually if there is an utterance in tongues in a meeting of believers, it does
need to be interpreted, but your prayer language doesn't necessarily have to have an interpretation
according to scripture. You're praying. Well, the way I would say it, like what Tom's
describing is like, are you addressing somebody with your tongue? If you're addressing, if I'm
speaking to all of you right now directly in tongues, and there's a message, that's when the
interpretation of tongues, but like earlier, we all unmuted. We were just all praying in tongues. We
weren't addressing each other, and so that's the difference, because I've seen some people get
afraid to pray in tongues around other people, and it's the intention of the tongue, like am I
just praying, or am I speaking to Tim? Right now, I'm speaking to Tim, but if I was just, do you see
the difference? It's like if I'm just praying and somebody hears me, that's different than if I'm
in front of a group talking in tongues, delivering a message in tongues. That would be the interpretation
of tongues. Yeah, and there's a couple of people, there's a couple other questions on here I want to
address too. If you speak in tongues or you have spoken in tongues, if you received your
prayer language as kind of like, that's kind of how I say it, it's kind of like, hey, have you
received your prayer language yet? It's like, you know, have you learned how to speak your prayer
language or whatever? If you've done that, you've received that, but you don't feel motivated to do
it, and you don't feel like you do it enough, I just encourage you, just like Ephesians says,
to use it or increase in it by reason of use. It increases the more you use it, but sometimes it's
just an act of your will. Sometimes it's like, you know what, I should really do this because,
not because I feel guilty, like, oh, I don't do this enough, I should do this, like I'm going to
be labored. That's not the invitation. The invitation is, hey, you have this resource, you
have this ability, you have this connection point, this is a gift, like a gift should be a blessing
to you, right? So you should be like, you know what, I really should use this gift. Like, what's the
point of having a hundred dollar gift card if you never use it? It's like, there's no point. That's
a good word. Like, why would you have a gift card? Someone gives you a gift card for your birthday,
you just let it sit in your wallet. I've done that. Like, my family gives me gift cards and
they're like, dad, why didn't you use this gift card? Like, are you not smart or something? Like,
go use this gift card and get yourself a present. Like, it doesn't make any sense to have a gift
card somebody gives you and you don't use it. So I'm not calling you, like, I'm not calling you
dumb. I'm just saying like, look, I'm just like, oh my gosh, you have this ability. Sometimes you
come to yourself and you go, you know what? I probably should use this. I probably should,
like, speak in tongues. I'll just try this and see what happens. And you know what? I'll start
doing stuff. And the gift cards of God do not expire. That's right. They don't expire. And you
don't have to have a pin number either. And you don't have to have a pin number. And they typically
buy more than the card looks like it's going to buy. Yeah, they're usually more valuable than.
Is it appropriate to speak in church and in private? Obviously, you know, it's just kind of
like, it's at that point, it's just kind of like manners. You know, if the preacher's up preaching
and you're in church and you're just sitting there and things are quiet and somebody's speaking,
it's probably bad manners to probably just like blurt out in tongues, even though I've seen that
happen before. And it wasn't really the spirit. And I've seen it happen before where it kind of
was like a sovereign thing. So I'm not saying it's not, I'm just saying it's just use your
manners in that way. It's more of a manners sort of thing situation. So when is it appropriate?
Well, it's appropriate. I oftentimes speak in tongues under my breath when I'm walking around
at the grocery store because I'm trying to activate something. I'm trying to understand
something or I'm praying about something. So it is in full capacity of the believer.
It is your gift to use as you will
under the direction and power of Holy Spirit.
Yeah, and I like what Tim said earlier
about it being a muscle,
because the prophetic words of knowledge,
praying for healing, like if you never pray for healing,
you're never gonna see anyone healed.
You know what I mean?
It's like a muscle that we have to use.
If I give you a guitar and you never pick it up
and learn how to play it, you have the gift,
but it's useless.
So we have to exercise the gifts
and practice crossing the chicken line.
Yeah, that's good, that's good.
So good.
I don't wanna see if there's any other questions
that we're sort of missing out.
I think we're good.
All right.
Yeah, and this is an awesome,
this is, somebody was talking about the brain.
The gift of speaking in tongues
is also a helpful way to bypass the brain,
because sometimes our brains can get really
like in the way of things,
because we can, you know, get in our own way.
This is kind of like going back to the heartwork stuff,
to where our brains can be like
going a million miles a second,
thinking about all the different things,
or we're stressed out or anxious about something.
Tongues sometimes can be a way to sort of bypass that
and not have to think about the ramifications
or all of the implications of what's going on
and what it is.
Tongues can be a way to sort of bring peace
and bring a settling to your mind
and to bring you into sort of that focus
and flow of the spirit that you need
in order to navigate the situation.
And so tongues can be a great way to center yourself
and to bring yourself into alignment.
Amen.
Okay.
