00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.680
Hey everyone, welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:09.680
Give me one sec.

3
00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:13.560
I just need to find some of my team members here.

4
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.440
We'll get people pinned and get ready.

5
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:17.440
Sorry, y'all.

6
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.280
I was just running a few minutes behind.

7
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:21.280
Welcome.

8
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:25.360
This will give people a little bit of time to join us.

9
00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:28.780
Say hello and tell everyone where you're joining from in the chat.

10
00:00:28.780 --> 00:00:33.960
You know, one of the things that I hear a lot in the community, you know, I can't think

11
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:35.980
and find my people at the same time and talk to you.

12
00:00:35.980 --> 00:00:39.020
It's kind of funny that I'm trying to do all three.

13
00:00:39.020 --> 00:00:46.140
But one of the things I see a lot is that people mention that they don't, you know,

14
00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:50.180
they want to make friends and they're looking for people and, y'all, there's always opportunity

15
00:00:50.180 --> 00:00:54.420
just to say hi to somebody and cheer them on in our groups, in the chats.

16
00:00:54.420 --> 00:01:00.700
I know it's not that easy, but, you know, be a friend and then you can make a friend.

17
00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:03.180
So I want to encourage everybody to do that and lean into that.

18
00:01:03.180 --> 00:01:06.500
I might have to pin people here in a little bit because I'm having a hard time finding

19
00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:07.500
everyone.

20
00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:08.500
All right.

21
00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:09.500
Well, team, we're going to go ahead and do this.

22
00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:14.300
I'm going to launch us out and then when I open up to other people to share, as you

23
00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:17.340
start to talk, team members, I'll just pin you then.

24
00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:20.700
So everybody that's on, welcome to all of my team members.

25
00:01:20.700 --> 00:01:22.860
So glad to have you guys joining us tonight.

26
00:01:22.860 --> 00:01:27.300
Those of you from the community, hello, welcome.

27
00:01:27.300 --> 00:01:29.660
People are waving and gifts are coming.

28
00:01:29.660 --> 00:01:30.660
That's pretty awesome.

29
00:01:30.660 --> 00:01:32.500
I didn't know we could do that in this chat.

30
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:34.980
So tonight's going to be a really amazing night.

31
00:01:34.980 --> 00:01:38.020
I have a great word to kind of kick us off.

32
00:01:38.020 --> 00:01:39.700
And I know the team has been praying as well.

33
00:01:39.700 --> 00:01:44.020
So let me go ahead and pray and get this night, get this night started.

34
00:01:44.020 --> 00:01:48.580
Father, thank you so much for everything that you're doing in our lives.

35
00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:50.260
God, I thank you.

36
00:01:50.660 --> 00:01:55.020
Yeah, Lord, just even hearing you right now in the in-between, God, that you're there.

37
00:01:55.020 --> 00:01:58.580
God, you're there in the beginning, you're there at the end.

38
00:01:58.580 --> 00:02:02.340
Every time we walk into the fullness of your promise in an area of our lives, God, that

39
00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:07.380
we remember the in-between, that we don't forget, God, that we would give a testimony,

40
00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:13.780
God, that we witness, God, your grace, your love, God, in our lives on a daily basis.

41
00:02:13.780 --> 00:02:19.140
But so often, Lord, the enemy tries to get us to look down, to look at what isn't working

42
00:02:19.220 --> 00:02:20.580
and what isn't happening.

43
00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:22.900
And God, I thank you that you're helping us to remember.

44
00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:26.980
Even tonight, I pray that you would help us to hear what your spirit is saying louder

45
00:02:26.980 --> 00:02:30.900
than any voice of the enemy, that we would remember the in-between, that we would remember

46
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:37.700
how you met us every step of the way on the journey, God, that you never forsook us.

47
00:02:37.700 --> 00:02:42.340
God, you walked with us, you were going before us, you gave us courage to go in and take

48
00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:43.140
the land.

49
00:02:43.140 --> 00:02:48.900
So God, I pray that you would help people tonight to be able to shift supernaturally

50
00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:54.820
in their hearts and understanding that, yes, God, you are a supernatural God and you're

51
00:02:54.820 --> 00:02:57.460
doing things in the heavenly realms right now.

52
00:02:57.460 --> 00:03:01.460
But God, it's about us daily partnering with you in the process.

53
00:03:01.460 --> 00:03:06.340
It's about us surrendering to you, God, at all times.

54
00:03:06.340 --> 00:03:11.140
But God, even when we don't know what to do, God, let our eyes be lifted upon you.

55
00:03:11.140 --> 00:03:15.620
I pray tonight that you would just meet your sons and your daughters right where they're

56
00:03:15.620 --> 00:03:19.300
at and help them to take one step forward.

57
00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:24.260
God, I know that overwhelm can so often set in when we try to look at the big scheme,

58
00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:29.220
the big picture of everything we believe you have for us, and that can feel far off sometimes.

59
00:03:29.220 --> 00:03:33.860
But God, I thank you that you would help us just to kind of hone in tonight on what you're

60
00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:35.540
doing right now.

61
00:03:35.540 --> 00:03:39.140
And God, I thank you that you would open our hearts to receive the full measure of your

62
00:03:39.140 --> 00:03:41.460
grace and love in a fresh way.

63
00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:43.940
In Jesus' name, amen.

64
00:03:44.660 --> 00:03:49.220
Two words just to kick us off initially tonight, and I want to apologize in advance.

65
00:03:49.220 --> 00:03:50.740
I might have to stop from time to time.

66
00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:52.340
I've been really sick this week.

67
00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:55.780
But praise God, we're both, my husband and I, are both getting better.

68
00:03:56.580 --> 00:04:00.580
So if that does happen to you, I might even kind of bolly to you at that point.

69
00:04:00.580 --> 00:04:01.860
We'll just see how tonight goes.

70
00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:07.060
But one of the first things, I have kind of teetered back and forth between what I want

71
00:04:07.060 --> 00:04:10.660
to launch us with, but I want to start with something.

72
00:04:10.660 --> 00:04:16.820
I was actually watching the Jesus Revolution movie this afternoon, and something in there

73
00:04:16.820 --> 00:04:18.100
stood out to me.

74
00:04:18.100 --> 00:04:22.260
And I've watched this movie several times, but it felt really relevant for tonight.

75
00:04:23.140 --> 00:04:27.380
And it was the wife of the pastor of the church, and she said this,

76
00:04:27.380 --> 00:04:31.860
The truth is often quiet, and the lies are really loud.

77
00:04:32.820 --> 00:04:40.180
And I just feel like there's so many of you that the enemy is lying, and he's really loud.

78
00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:44.900
And that's what you're hearing a lot more than the truth.

79
00:04:46.580 --> 00:04:53.780
And so I want to just encourage us as a community to really slow down and ask the Lord tonight

80
00:04:53.780 --> 00:04:56.100
as you're here, as we're here together.

81
00:04:57.460 --> 00:04:59.060
Lord, show me again.

82
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:07.000
And in a fresh way, any lies that I'm hearing and partnering with that do not align with your heart for me,

83
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:13.000
with heaven, that are not true about what other people think about me.

84
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:19.000
It's really important, you all. I'm seeing a lot of people writing that, you know, I feel rejected.

85
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:27.000
These are all true things we experience, you all, but on some level, we have to continue to go back to the heart work

86
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:32.000
and get to the root of what's really going on, what's underneath the surface.

87
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:39.000
So, if you're hearing lies really loud, and you're very seldomly, you feel like, I can't hear the truth,

88
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:45.000
or breakthrough isn't happening for me, God, you know, I'm coming and I'm showing up and nothing is working,

89
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:53.000
these apps aren't working, the people aren't, whatever that is, may it be silenced tonight.

90
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:57.000
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, that that would be silenced.

91
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:04.000
Because the reality is, God is working in your life right now.

92
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.000
It's not always a big feeling, you all. Sometimes that's how it is.

93
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:15.000
But man, when I was sick this week, literally for two and a half days, I couldn't do very much of anything.

94
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:22.000
And I literally said to the Lord, God, I don't feel super spiritual right now, and I don't feel super close to you,

95
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:29.000
but I know that's not true. Because you're with me, and I know what our relationship is.

96
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:34.000
And that's the thing, I think so many of us don't partner with that.

97
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:40.000
And so wherever you find yourself tonight, I want to encourage you that the Father is close.

98
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:46.000
And I feel like there's going to be a tangibility to tonight.

99
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:51.000
And if you don't feel it, it's okay, that doesn't make it not true. Okay?

100
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:58.000
So the next thing the Lord showed me when I was praying, and I said, Lord, what do you want to say tonight?

101
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:03.000
I saw a broom sweeping, literally this simple image, a broom sweeping,

102
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:09.000
and I saw a cloud of dust, kind of like a poof ball, kind of came up, and then it flew away.

103
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:15.000
And as I was praying into this, you know, those are the kind of things you can just, we can all just dismiss this stuff.

104
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:20.000
But that's what I saw. And I'm willing to bring a simple thing like that and unpack it.

105
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.000
And this is the stuff that God was saying to me.

106
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.000
God is clearing out what no longer belongs.

107
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.000
Interesting that I felt led to share the quote about the truth versus the lies.

108
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.000
I feel like that partners really well.

109
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:39.000
Dust, you know, kind of flying up, accumulating, and then disparting, like leaving,

110
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:44.000
is representing accumulated weights of old seasons, specifically.

111
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:48.000
Dead things, stagnant things, unresolved grief.

112
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:54.000
And the flying away is God signaling that He is removing it completely.

113
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.000
He is going to remove these things completely from your life.

114
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.000
This isn't just about displacement, about a temporary fix.

115
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:06.000
God wants to literally help us allow these things to be removed for good.

116
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:12.000
It also signals this amazing wind involved in that removal process.

117
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:16.000
And when I was meditating on that, I just kept hearing fresh wind, fresh fire.

118
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.000
There's a book that was written years ago by that title.

119
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.000
It's really an incredible book.

120
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:26.000
But I believe God wants to bring a fresh wind and a fresh fire into your life tonight.

121
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.000
Here's the scripture I want to read to you.

122
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.000
It's from Luke 15.

123
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.000
And I'm going to start in verse 8, and it's through verse 10.

124
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:35.000
It says,

125
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.000
And it goes,

126
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:01.000
And so the reason I felt led to share that story tonight from the Bible

127
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:08.000
is because I don't think it's like an ironic thing that she was sweeping the house.

128
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.000
We know that there's other scriptures where it talks about, you know,

129
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:15.000
asking God to come in and clean our house out, you know,

130
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:21.000
and that the enemy will come back and try to figure out if he can come back in and take over.

131
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:27.000
And so that isn't to scare you, but we do have to posture our minds in a place of,

132
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:31.000
You know, Lord, I'm not going to keep falling for this.

133
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.000
Thank you, Lord, that you're helping me to overcome the lies of the enemy.

134
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.000
Do you see what I'm saying, everyone?

135
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:44.000
We have to choose to put up a door and not allow the enemy to keep coming back in the house.

136
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:50.000
And you know that your heart is often the symbol of the house.

137
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.000
So this is where I believe God is leading us tonight.

138
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:56.000
I believe that the dust is being removed.

139
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.000
The dead things from the old seasons, you know, maybe some of you, like I said,

140
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.680
that have these dead things, stagnant patterns, you're stuck in a certain cycle

141
00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:06.480
that you haven't been able to get over, it doesn't mean you haven't been doing

142
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:10.040
the work. It just means you have to have more revelation to break free. And then

143
00:10:10.040 --> 00:10:15.120
the unresolved grief. And so I just want to pray and I'm going to open it up. I'm

144
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.640
going to pray again over this word. And then I'm going to open up for the team

145
00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:22.400
to share. And then we'll do popcorn shares from there. So Father, I just

146
00:10:22.400 --> 00:10:26.240
thank you for the truth of your word. And God that even as this woman in the

147
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.880
Bible was sweeping her house looking for a coin. God, there is treasure in our

148
00:10:30.880 --> 00:10:34.880
hearts. There's treasure in our lives. There's treasure in the promises that

149
00:10:34.880 --> 00:10:40.640
you've spoken and declared of our lives, God. That you're in there. You're sweeping

150
00:10:40.640 --> 00:10:45.080
the house tonight. Yes, Lord. Thank you that you're sweeping our house. You're

151
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.440
cleaning out our hearts. God, I pray that you would reveal lies, limiting belief

152
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:58.160
systems, the stagnant patterns, the dead areas and seasons. Yes, Lord. Oh, God is

153
00:10:58.160 --> 00:11:02.640
so funny. I just saw like skin kind of bubbling up on someone's arm and just

154
00:11:02.640 --> 00:11:07.480
kind of flaking off. And then I saw like a snake losing its skin. And so Lord, we

155
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.320
just we just thank you, God, that again, this shedding, the shedding of these

156
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.040
things that do not serve us. God, I thank you that you are doing a supernatural

157
00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:19.600
work in our hearts. Lord, I pray that you would help us to partner with the

158
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:24.280
truth, God, that you are for us. You're not against us. And that you don't leave

159
00:11:24.280 --> 00:11:28.520
us alone, even on the dating apps, God, or in the situations with our families or

160
00:11:28.520 --> 00:11:32.240
in the grief that's unresolved. God, I thank you that you would go to the depths

161
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:37.080
of their souls and their spirits and bring breakthrough and revelation. God,

162
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:42.120
that you are the chain breaker. God, I thank you that we we partner with you in

163
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:47.240
the truth and we say, yes, Lord, I'm yours. I'm open. I'm available. And I'm

164
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:51.840
ready for everything that you have for me. Help me, Lord, to receive it in Jesus

165
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:56.520
name. Amen. Okay, I'm going to launch it out to the team. Is there anyone else

166
00:11:56.520 --> 00:11:58.920
that feels like to share a word at this time?

167
00:12:01.640 --> 00:12:08.120
I just have a quick one. So I've been getting this image lately, of like a

168
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:14.000
banquet table. And a lot of people are sitting under the table. And so crumbs

169
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.920
are kind of coming through. And so people are just looking at the crumbs and trying

170
00:12:16.920 --> 00:12:22.400
to make the crumbs like more than they're supposed to. And I feel like the

171
00:12:22.400 --> 00:12:29.640
Lord's like, just walk away and crawl out and go sit at the table. Like that God

172
00:12:29.640 --> 00:12:33.840
wants you to sit at the table, you have a seat at the table. And when you sit at

173
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:40.080
the table, you're going to see this huge banquet of people that He wants you to

174
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:44.600
meet and enjoy. And they're going to all look different. Because on a banquet

175
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:48.040
table, it's like, don't just go to the chocolate cake that you would normally

176
00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:55.400
go to. Look at the fruit and vegetables, like, explore the banquet and see the

177
00:12:55.400 --> 00:13:04.120
abundance there. And not look at that abundance, like, it's a chore to plow

178
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:08.480
through a lot of people and meet a lot of people. But every person that's at that

179
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.760
banquet, any person that you're going to come in contact with, whether it's on the

180
00:13:11.760 --> 00:13:16.720
apps or in person, is an image bearer. Like everybody's an image bearer. And so

181
00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:21.000
we can make every inner counter intentional, we can always leave people

182
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:24.480
better than we found them. And I know there's ick out there too. But for the

183
00:13:24.520 --> 00:13:29.520
most part, I just I want I'm just feeling like the Lord is just like, get out from

184
00:13:29.520 --> 00:13:33.600
underneath the table to stop eating the crumbs, get to the get to the table and

185
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:38.200
sit at the table, you have a seat at the table, enjoy the banquet, there's so much

186
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.480
out there and try new things at the banquet.

187
00:13:49.560 --> 00:13:53.440
All happening from there. I had an image earlier when I was asking the Lord and it

188
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:58.600
made no sense and I didn't get clarity until we started the call. But I saw the

189
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.880
image of the back of a basket and I was like, Lord, what like, give me more and I

190
00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:07.800
got nothing. And it's interesting that Bethany saw a broom and then Renee's

191
00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:12.720
talking about a table because as the Lord was showing me a couple things, I kept

192
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:18.440
seeing Miriam with the basket where it says in Exodus two that that Moses's

193
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:23.960
mother wove the basket together from papyrus and then Miriam watched over her

194
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:29.120
brother. And I felt and then the Lord also showed me the picture of when the little

195
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:34.560
boy brought his five loaves and two fish, there was about 12 baskets that were

196
00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:37.720
overflowing. And I just felt like the other thing the Lord was reminding me was

197
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:42.160
baskets are they've been here throughout culture the entire time. This is not this

198
00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:46.920
is actually something really simple. And it's not new. And I felt like the Lord had

199
00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:50.960
an invitation that he's taking these parts in our lives that are very simple,

200
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:57.160
and they're really not new. And he's weaving things together into two things.

201
00:14:57.160 --> 00:14:59.960
One is safety and the

202
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.880
others provision. What Moses was encapsulated in was a basket that brought safety, which

203
00:15:05.880 --> 00:15:11.600
then ended up being a foreshadowing of freedom for his people. It was foreshadowing of Jesus,

204
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:17.400
but bringing freedom to his people. But then in the story in the New Testament, the basket

205
00:15:17.400 --> 00:15:21.220
was there to hold provision because there was more than enough. So for those of you

206
00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:26.340
who are needing either security, safety, or provision, I mean, I think we all do. Those

207
00:15:26.340 --> 00:15:30.640
are like two of the basic human needs, right? The Lord is reminding us that he can take

208
00:15:30.640 --> 00:15:35.840
really simple things. And even I had this impression that there's even old things, even

209
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:44.100
things yeah, Lord, even things in maybe your ancestry or in your history or in like the

210
00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:48.520
prayers of the saints that have gone before you that he's even weaving those things together

211
00:15:48.520 --> 00:15:54.500
into your story to bring about both protection and provision. So I just bless whoever that's

212
00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:59.920
for. He can take even simple things, even things that you don't, you don't realize

213
00:15:59.920 --> 00:16:05.080
how he's basket weaving them and he's putting them together for your good. In Jesus name.

214
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:12.440
Amen. So beautiful. Thank you, Elizabeth. I just want to start by saying thank you.

215
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:19.920
Thank you to each person here today. Thank you for showing up for yourself, for yourselves.

216
00:16:19.920 --> 00:16:28.740
Thank you for being diligent. I want to connect this to the parable that Bethany talked about,

217
00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:35.620
that this woman was diligently sweeping. And so I'm thinking, what can I, what can we learn

218
00:16:35.620 --> 00:16:43.100
from this? And so I imagined that here is this woman sweeping. She's looking for something,

219
00:16:43.400 --> 00:16:52.360
a treasure. And she feels, I imagine, tired, tired of sweeping, but she kept going. She

220
00:16:52.360 --> 00:17:00.920
was diligent, the Bible says. But she got a light to shine around that area so she could

221
00:17:00.920 --> 00:17:10.440
see. And so I see this community and the resources provided by Jackie and her team has that light

222
00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:17.900
because we're sweeping and perhaps we feel tired and overwhelmed and we feel frustrated.

223
00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:22.900
Those are feelings. It's not who we are, but it's the feelings we're experiencing. And

224
00:17:22.900 --> 00:17:30.300
then with the resources, the light shining in that area. Wow. She sees, she finds, she

225
00:17:30.300 --> 00:17:37.180
finds the treasure and we're all looking for something. And by God's grace has the resources

226
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:45.320
have been provided and our hearts have been mended and healed. We find a treasure. And

227
00:17:45.320 --> 00:17:51.840
what the woman did was she called others. She was overjoyed. I also imagine that she

228
00:17:51.840 --> 00:17:58.200
forgot about her tiredness and frustration and she focused on the joy, the treasure that

229
00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:05.480
she found. And so again, I thank you for showing up for yourselves today. And I thank me also

230
00:18:05.580 --> 00:18:14.620
for showing up for myself today that we are diligent, showing up day in, day out, knowing

231
00:18:14.620 --> 00:18:22.460
that in due time, we shall find the treasure. So let us not grow weary in doing what is

232
00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:29.340
good, but in due time, in due time, it will happen. So Father, I thank you for the process

233
00:18:29.340 --> 00:18:36.560
and even the act of sweeping. My imagination also takes me to, to, to movement. It takes

234
00:18:36.560 --> 00:18:44.640
me to, to the strengthening of the muscles. So I thank you for what you're doing in this,

235
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:53.280
in this process. We're grateful. We're grateful. Thank you. Amen.

236
00:18:59.360 --> 00:19:07.600
I was reminded of a time in my life where I was asking God, believing God to restore

237
00:19:07.600 --> 00:19:13.480
something that was very much dying in front of me. And as I was walking, the Lord told

238
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:18.400
me to look up and see the harvest. And so I began to rejoice. And I said to the Lord,

239
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:24.240
are you going to restore it? He said, for every tear you've sown, I will give you a

240
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:28.280
harvest. I said, okay, so you're going to restore this thing. And I named it to him.

241
00:19:28.280 --> 00:19:35.500
He said, Ebony, I am Lord of the harvest. And I bring the harvest where I see fit. You

242
00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:40.940
know, the Bible says in the book of Jeremiah 5 and 24, the Lord, our God, who gives rain

243
00:19:40.940 --> 00:19:46.540
in his season, the autumn rain and the spring rain and keeps for us the weeks appointed

244
00:19:46.540 --> 00:19:51.560
for the harvest. I'm sharing this with you to encourage you because a lot of times we

245
00:19:51.560 --> 00:19:56.260
can believe that the place that we've sown is a place that we will receive the harvest,

246
00:19:56.260 --> 00:20:00.340
but because the Lord is Lord of the harvest, he gets to determine.

247
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.400
where and when the harvest comes and where it comes from.

248
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:06.520
And so you may find that you're being disciplined

249
00:20:06.520 --> 00:20:07.960
and trained in one area,

250
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.680
but it's producing a harvest in another area.

251
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:13.360
You know, Psalm 75 says,

252
00:20:13.360 --> 00:20:15.880
promotion comes neither from the East nor from the West

253
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:19.800
nor from the South, but it comes by the hand of God.

254
00:20:19.800 --> 00:20:21.960
And God is the one who brings promotion.

255
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.800
So I wanna encourage you that no matter where the tears

256
00:20:25.800 --> 00:20:28.920
are sown at, no matter where the work is put in it,

257
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:32.040
God will take what you do in one place of your life

258
00:20:32.040 --> 00:20:34.800
and he will cause it to bring forth a harvest for you

259
00:20:34.800 --> 00:20:36.680
in another area of your life.

260
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:39.200
So don't get weary in well-doing

261
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.900
because if you continue on and thank not,

262
00:20:41.900 --> 00:20:43.640
you will reap a harvest.

263
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:44.940
And this is what the Lord says,

264
00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:46.800
and that's why he's such a genius.

265
00:20:46.800 --> 00:20:49.800
And that's why he gets to be called Lord of the harvest

266
00:20:49.800 --> 00:20:51.880
because he'll take something in one area

267
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:54.400
and he'll make it happen for you in another area.

268
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:56.320
So don't give up.

269
00:20:57.280 --> 00:20:59.120
And I just, I could hear this.

270
00:20:59.120 --> 00:21:00.520
You know, I sometimes will say,

271
00:21:00.520 --> 00:21:02.280
I'm tired of doing this thing.

272
00:21:02.280 --> 00:21:03.960
I'm tired of doing this like this,

273
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:06.720
or, you know, all these different complaints.

274
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.720
Be ever mindful of the complaints that come forth

275
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:13.520
out of your mouth about processes that you're in

276
00:21:13.520 --> 00:21:16.000
because God is Lord of the harvest.

277
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:18.040
And the process that you're in now

278
00:21:18.040 --> 00:21:20.600
is preparing you for the harvest that is to come.

279
00:21:20.600 --> 00:21:22.720
That may not look like it's even attached

280
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:24.080
to the process you're in,

281
00:21:24.080 --> 00:21:25.640
but the thing that you're dreading

282
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:27.880
and the thing that you want to be released from

283
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:30.920
is the thing that is producing the harvest in your life.

284
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:34.320
And the Lord has called this thing fit for the time.

285
00:21:34.320 --> 00:21:36.160
He's decided that this is the thing

286
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:38.200
that he is going to use to sharpen you,

287
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:40.560
to shape in you, to give you capacity

288
00:21:40.560 --> 00:21:43.040
and to expand you for the thing

289
00:21:43.040 --> 00:21:45.000
that is the harvest that's to come.

290
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:49.980
Amen.

291
00:21:49.980 --> 00:21:51.720
Man, this is so powerful.

292
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:55.040
God, thank you so much for where you're leading us tonight.

293
00:21:55.040 --> 00:21:57.360
As Elizabeth was sharing,

294
00:21:57.360 --> 00:22:00.320
what came to mind was Romans 12, two,

295
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:02.000
and this is what it says,

296
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.120
do not conform to the pattern of this world,

297
00:22:04.120 --> 00:22:07.760
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

298
00:22:07.760 --> 00:22:10.400
Then you'll be able to test and approve what God's will is,

299
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:13.560
his good, pleasing, and perfect will.

300
00:22:13.560 --> 00:22:15.520
And as I think it was in between

301
00:22:15.520 --> 00:22:17.920
when Kemi and Ebony started talking,

302
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:19.800
you know, I just continue to pray

303
00:22:19.800 --> 00:22:21.800
and ask God to show me stuff for us tonight.

304
00:22:21.800 --> 00:22:23.440
And y'all haven't thought of this movie

305
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.800
in a really long time.

306
00:22:25.800 --> 00:22:28.880
Some of you that are a lot younger on here

307
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:30.300
may not even know this movie,

308
00:22:30.300 --> 00:22:33.920
but it's called The Never Ending Story.

309
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:35.840
I don't know if y'all have ever seen that,

310
00:22:35.840 --> 00:22:39.440
but I mean, literally, I don't think of this movie.

311
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:41.640
And so I asked the Lord to kind of start showing me stuff,

312
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:44.000
and I just started looking some things up.

313
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.360
I want to draw a couple things out of this movie

314
00:22:46.360 --> 00:22:48.460
that I feel like are so relevant

315
00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:50.080
to what God is saying tonight.

316
00:22:50.080 --> 00:22:52.780
And I feel like there's so much, man, prophetically,

317
00:22:53.340 --> 00:22:54.820
if you watch that movie,

318
00:22:54.820 --> 00:22:56.860
I probably will try to see if I can even find it,

319
00:22:56.860 --> 00:23:01.380
but there's a thing in there called the nothing.

320
00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:03.700
And when I looked up kind of like,

321
00:23:03.700 --> 00:23:05.660
okay, what does that represent in the movie?

322
00:23:05.660 --> 00:23:07.100
Well, it represents the spirit

323
00:23:07.100 --> 00:23:10.140
of hopelessness and unbelief.

324
00:23:11.060 --> 00:23:12.740
You know, that's kind of what was happening,

325
00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:14.980
and there was this war between good and evil.

326
00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:17.820
And, you know, again, you'll have to watch the movie,

327
00:23:17.820 --> 00:23:20.020
but there's just this dynamic that's happening,

328
00:23:20.020 --> 00:23:24.140
and there's this boy that's central to this movie, Bastion.

329
00:23:25.020 --> 00:23:26.660
And, you know, and I can even remember as a kid,

330
00:23:26.660 --> 00:23:28.880
I think the reason I connected so much with the story

331
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:30.660
is that, you know, he was going through

332
00:23:30.660 --> 00:23:32.260
whatever dynamics in his life,

333
00:23:32.260 --> 00:23:36.740
and he ends up in this library reading this book.

334
00:23:36.740 --> 00:23:39.620
And again, I'm very, very small memory of this movie

335
00:23:39.620 --> 00:23:42.580
until I started looking it up again tonight.

336
00:23:42.580 --> 00:23:45.460
But he goes on this great adventure, right?

337
00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:46.740
But y'all, here at the core,

338
00:23:47.100 --> 00:23:49.500
I want you to see something

339
00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:51.440
that I think is really important,

340
00:23:52.380 --> 00:23:57.380
is basically he had power inside of himself the entire time

341
00:23:59.780 --> 00:24:02.680
to save, in the movie, what was called Fantasia.

342
00:24:04.300 --> 00:24:06.940
He didn't know it, and he didn't believe it.

343
00:24:08.060 --> 00:24:10.140
And I think this is really important part

344
00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:11.740
of what I was even saying earlier,

345
00:24:11.740 --> 00:24:15.500
is that each one of us has the spirit of the living God

346
00:24:15.580 --> 00:24:18.000
on the inside of us.

347
00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:22.660
Some of us don't fully comprehend

348
00:24:22.660 --> 00:24:25.700
what that means for our story.

349
00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:27.020
Your story's unfolding.

350
00:24:27.020 --> 00:24:28.260
It's a great adventure.

351
00:24:28.260 --> 00:24:31.700
God is writing our story more every single day,

352
00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:33.380
but we have to partner with him.

353
00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:36.260
But oftentimes, we struggle to partner with him

354
00:24:36.260 --> 00:24:39.700
because we fall into the hopelessness or the unbelief,

355
00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:42.860
or we just haven't perceived.

356
00:24:42.860 --> 00:24:45.780
We haven't gotten the revelation yet

357
00:24:45.780 --> 00:24:48.460
of the fullness of what God is saying over us

358
00:24:48.460 --> 00:24:51.740
enough to partner and grab onto that.

359
00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:52.620
Because I don't know about you all,

360
00:24:52.620 --> 00:24:55.420
but sometimes you start walking towards a promise,

361
00:24:56.340 --> 00:24:59.380
and then the enemy disrupts with things like sickness

362
00:24:59.380 --> 00:25:00.220
or distraction.

363
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.640
or discouragement, name it, whatever it is.

364
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.520
For you, it happens to all of us,

365
00:25:07.520 --> 00:25:12.040
but are we willing to get kind of like

366
00:25:12.040 --> 00:25:13.000
what I hear the Lord saying,

367
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:16.000
is get the train back on the tracks here.

368
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:17.560
The Lord's gonna do the heavy lifting.

369
00:25:17.560 --> 00:25:19.080
He'll put it on the track for you,

370
00:25:19.080 --> 00:25:21.300
but it starts in our heart.

371
00:25:22.280 --> 00:25:25.960
We believe what we, or we become what we believe, right?

372
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:28.400
So what is your heart?

373
00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:29.240
What is the story?

374
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:31.440
Your heart is telling you right now.

375
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:32.280
We know the Bible says

376
00:25:32.280 --> 00:25:34.880
that our heart is deceitfully wicked above all things.

377
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:38.080
So if our heart isn't healed,

378
00:25:38.080 --> 00:25:40.920
if our heart isn't telling us a good story,

379
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:44.640
if every time we turn around,

380
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:47.780
we believe we're rejected and we're not loved,

381
00:25:47.780 --> 00:25:49.680
or somebody's out against us,

382
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:54.040
or whatever, again, that looks like and sounds like for you,

383
00:25:54.040 --> 00:25:55.520
man, let's lean in tonight,

384
00:25:55.520 --> 00:25:56.840
because I feel like God is like,

385
00:25:57.280 --> 00:26:00.160
he's writing this never-ending story,

386
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:01.960
and I won't spoil it for those of you

387
00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:04.320
that have never watched this movie,

388
00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:07.680
but there's some really other powerful symbolism

389
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.320
in this movie.

390
00:26:09.320 --> 00:26:11.440
You know, God is on the throne,

391
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.280
and he can speak a word into your life tonight

392
00:26:14.280 --> 00:26:17.720
in the days ahead, and in one moment, things can change.

393
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:19.600
And he's doing that every day.

394
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:23.220
His word is alive and it's living.

395
00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:27.460
And it's available for all of us to read it

396
00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:29.540
and glean from it.

397
00:26:29.540 --> 00:26:31.780
This isn't just an old archaic thing

398
00:26:31.780 --> 00:26:33.460
that doesn't work anymore.

399
00:26:35.620 --> 00:26:40.140
So God is inviting us to open the adventure of his story

400
00:26:40.140 --> 00:26:42.800
so that he can write our story.

401
00:26:45.780 --> 00:26:48.660
So it's about us partnering with him in the process.

402
00:26:48.660 --> 00:26:51.240
And so again, check out that movie,

403
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.000
and let's just see where God wants to continue

404
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:53.840
to take this.

405
00:26:53.840 --> 00:26:57.920
But there's this amazing kind of thread tonight

406
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:00.040
of us partnering with the truth,

407
00:27:00.040 --> 00:27:03.200
us partnering and like letting go of the lies,

408
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:04.240
partnering with the truth,

409
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:06.860
seeing, getting a glimpse of what God has already put

410
00:27:06.860 --> 00:27:08.200
on the inside of us,

411
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:10.740
what God has already predestined for us,

412
00:27:12.320 --> 00:27:14.080
and overcoming all the things

413
00:27:14.080 --> 00:27:16.240
that try to hinder us from getting there.

414
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.760
Okay, I'm gonna open it back up.

415
00:27:19.760 --> 00:27:23.240
Bethany, I got actually two words today for tonight.

416
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:24.540
I'm gonna start with the first one,

417
00:27:24.540 --> 00:27:27.880
and it's all about a partnering with Holy Spirit.

418
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:30.240
And so as I was praying earlier,

419
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:34.820
I saw a dirt road and there was a cart sitting.

420
00:27:34.820 --> 00:27:36.920
It's like in the old movies,

421
00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:39.420
a dirt road and there was a cart sitting there

422
00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:42.360
with a white horse behind the cart.

423
00:27:43.280 --> 00:27:46.440
And the cart had people sitting inside of it,

424
00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:47.680
but it wasn't going anywhere.

425
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:50.400
It was just sitting there with the people in there.

426
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:53.740
And it was at a standstill waiting to be pulled.

427
00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:56.680
The problem was that the horse was behind the cart

428
00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:58.040
instead of in front of it.

429
00:27:59.080 --> 00:28:02.200
And I felt, I sensed that the Lord was saying,

430
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:04.260
we often want to move forward

431
00:28:04.260 --> 00:28:09.160
without first asking God or Holy Spirit to guide us.

432
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:10.560
And then I heard him say,

433
00:28:10.560 --> 00:28:13.640
just like the cart cannot move without the horse,

434
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:16.840
we cannot move without God's guidance.

435
00:28:16.840 --> 00:28:20.080
Moving without the guidance of the Holy Spirit

436
00:28:20.080 --> 00:28:23.540
is like putting the cart before the horse.

437
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:37.240
So good.

438
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:39.080
Anyone else on the team?

439
00:28:39.080 --> 00:28:40.320
I know Shelly's here too.

440
00:28:40.320 --> 00:28:42.080
I don't know if Candy's on tonight.

441
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:43.840
I just want to-

442
00:28:44.080 --> 00:28:45.000
Yep, I'll jump in here.

443
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:46.240
Let me put up my window.

444
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:51.560
So I also have been seeing a large banqueting table.

445
00:28:51.560 --> 00:28:53.880
I actually shared this at church part of this

446
00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:55.080
this morning too.

447
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:58.000
But something the Lord showed me for tonight

448
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:01.400
was I saw a large erected wall.

449
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:04.600
And you know how when you take an ax,

450
00:29:04.600 --> 00:29:05.440
I don't know,

451
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.440
but when someone takes an ax and splits a log in two,

452
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:10.040
I mean, it splits in two

453
00:29:10.360 --> 00:29:14.000
and the two parts of the log shoot in opposite directions.

454
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.320
They are no longer a part of each other.

455
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:21.160
And we were singing a song in church today

456
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:24.840
and had the chorus spirit break through

457
00:29:24.840 --> 00:29:26.760
and break our walls down.

458
00:29:26.760 --> 00:29:28.200
And as we were singing that,

459
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:30.560
I saw the hand of the Lord come down

460
00:29:30.560 --> 00:29:32.960
and begin breaking walls.

461
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:35.080
But the walls were splitting in two

462
00:29:35.080 --> 00:29:38.280
and the two sides falling down dead.

463
00:29:38.320 --> 00:29:40.960
You know how that would look if it came down,

464
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:43.080
split them in two and the two pieces,

465
00:29:43.080 --> 00:29:45.800
one fell to the left and one fell to the right.

466
00:29:45.800 --> 00:29:47.240
I saw it happen three times.

467
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:50.240
The first time I saw it happen with the hand of the Lord,

468
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.080
which showed me that God,

469
00:29:52.080 --> 00:29:53.080
it's not just right now,

470
00:29:53.080 --> 00:29:56.240
but He's always here to break our walls down.

471
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:58.120
It's just a matter of like what Bethany was saying,

472
00:29:58.120 --> 00:29:59.400
partnering with Him.

473
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:00.240
It's okay.

474
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.540
to let Him do that, you know?

475
00:30:02.540 --> 00:30:06.600
And then I saw it happen again, and this time it came with the sword of truth.

476
00:30:06.600 --> 00:30:09.920
You know, it came with what's true in the Word for us.

477
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:13.780
It came with what's true to dispel walls that are lies.

478
00:30:13.780 --> 00:30:20.320
And then it came again with a large nail that I knew was representing a nail that had held

479
00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:21.320
Jesus on the cross.

480
00:30:21.320 --> 00:30:27.520
And I just thought if that song came to mind, the chorus said, it was nailed to the cross

481
00:30:27.520 --> 00:30:29.960
and I bear it no more.

482
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.680
So praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul.

483
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:38.920
And I felt like the Lord said that there's some fear for walls to come down because we're

484
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:40.600
used to them.

485
00:30:40.600 --> 00:30:42.440
And so that's a fact.

486
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:43.440
You might feel like that.

487
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:45.440
I felt like that.

488
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:50.200
And so I felt like the Lord said to just ask Him to minister truth to you, to bring that

489
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:56.000
sword of truth down, to minister truth to you so that you can release the wall and so

490
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.560
that you can come to the banqueting table, He said.

491
00:30:59.560 --> 00:31:08.080
And I saw this huge banqueting table, and I felt like He said, you know, come take and

492
00:31:08.080 --> 00:31:09.080
eat.

493
00:31:09.080 --> 00:31:12.920
And you know, the Bible says the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take

494
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:14.200
it by force.

495
00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:19.280
And I had done a study on that before, and it means that the people were so hungry for

496
00:31:19.280 --> 00:31:20.280
the Word.

497
00:31:20.280 --> 00:31:26.400
They were so hungry for what was true that they just descended upon it and devoured it

498
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:28.680
like ferocious animals.

499
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:34.520
So I feel like the Lord was saying, yes, it's like Renee said, don't sit under the table

500
00:31:34.520 --> 00:31:37.760
and accept crumbs or think that you have enough.

501
00:31:37.760 --> 00:31:44.760
When Jesus is inviting you to come and feast, feast at the banqueting table, feast on His

502
00:31:44.760 --> 00:31:50.200
truth, the walls, the illusion of protection, it's only an illusion.

503
00:31:51.120 --> 00:31:52.120
It's not really real.

504
00:31:52.120 --> 00:31:55.040
So it's okay to let the walls come down.

505
00:31:55.040 --> 00:31:56.040
It's okay.

506
00:31:56.040 --> 00:32:02.640
I mean, it's hard to say, I understand I'm there, but it's hard to say, but honestly,

507
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:06.960
to just say to the Lord, it's okay for these walls to come down.

508
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:07.960
It's okay.

509
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:14.560
I release them so that I can come to the banqueting table because you have more, you have better,

510
00:32:14.560 --> 00:32:19.520
you have tomorrows, you have another season, you have another chance, you have another

511
00:32:19.520 --> 00:32:23.000
love story, you have another thing.

512
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:27.600
And so it's okay to release the walls and just to say to Him, Lord, minister truth to

513
00:32:27.600 --> 00:32:33.680
me so that I can release these walls and come to the banqueting table and feast because

514
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:37.560
I am a son or a daughter of the Most High.

515
00:32:37.560 --> 00:32:42.040
And these things I've struggled with, they have already been nailed to the cross.

516
00:32:42.040 --> 00:32:44.360
I bear them no more.

517
00:32:44.360 --> 00:32:47.640
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh my soul.

518
00:32:50.520 --> 00:32:56.000
I'm going to piggyback off of that one because the other word that the Lord gave me, it actually

519
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:57.200
started yesterday morning.

520
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:01.600
I woke up with a song in my heart and all I could hear was the bridge.

521
00:33:01.600 --> 00:33:03.720
I didn't even know what song it was.

522
00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:05.080
Like that's how little I knew it.

523
00:33:05.080 --> 00:33:09.920
And all I could hear was all praise King Jesus.

524
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:14.160
So I had to like type it in Spotify to find the song and I was like listening on repeat

525
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:15.960
and the Lord is ministering to me.

526
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:18.240
And I went, I bet they're going to sing this at church tomorrow.

527
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:22.360
I bet the Holy Spirit's on this song and sure enough, I sang it at church this morning

528
00:33:22.360 --> 00:33:27.120
and it's, I'm going to put the part of it in the chat, but I felt like the Lord, exactly

529
00:33:27.120 --> 00:33:33.080
what Shelly was just saying, that there's some of us that we're sitting in our pain.

530
00:33:33.080 --> 00:33:37.920
And I actually felt this was an invitation for healing, specifically physical healing.

531
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:42.260
But some of us were sitting in our pain and in our sorrow and the Lord wanted to come

532
00:33:42.260 --> 00:33:46.700
tonight to say He is acquainted, remind us that He is acquainted with grief.

533
00:33:46.700 --> 00:33:47.980
So this is the lyrics of this song.

534
00:33:47.980 --> 00:33:48.980
It says, man of sorrows.

535
00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:54.380
It's called son of suffering, man of sorrows, son of suffering, the blood and tears.

536
00:33:54.380 --> 00:33:55.580
How can it be?

537
00:33:55.580 --> 00:33:57.160
There's a God who weeps.

538
00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:58.340
There's a God who bleeds.

539
00:33:58.340 --> 00:34:01.100
Oh, praise the one who would reach for me.

540
00:34:01.100 --> 00:34:03.220
Hallelujah to the son of suffering.

541
00:34:03.220 --> 00:34:08.380
But then the bridge, it says your cross, my freedom, your stripes, my healing, all praise

542
00:34:08.380 --> 00:34:09.860
King Jesus.

543
00:34:09.860 --> 00:34:14.340
And this is the part that I woke up with in my spirit, that your cross, my freedom, your

544
00:34:14.340 --> 00:34:17.179
stripes, my healing, all praise King Jesus.

545
00:34:17.179 --> 00:34:18.179
Glory to God in heaven.

546
00:34:18.179 --> 00:34:22.540
And I just felt there's an invitation for those that feel like you've been sitting under

547
00:34:22.540 --> 00:34:27.580
the table, for those that feel like you have the walls up, for those of you who are actively

548
00:34:27.580 --> 00:34:32.540
in health battles or actively in mental health battles or actively, you feel like you are

549
00:34:32.540 --> 00:34:37.159
sitting in the pit and the Lord is saying, there's a God who weeps.

550
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:43.100
There's a God who bleeds, but he's also King Jesus and glory to God in heaven.

551
00:34:43.100 --> 00:34:48.380
And he sits in both realities, Bethany was talking earlier about his kingship and he's

552
00:34:48.380 --> 00:34:51.659
also fully God and fully man.

553
00:34:51.659 --> 00:34:53.100
And he knows what it's like.

554
00:34:53.100 --> 00:34:59.020
So for those that are feeling also like you're unseen or that you're disconnected or that

555
00:34:59.020 --> 00:34:59.940
you, you.

556
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.240
struggle with, it's come up multiple times tonight, that you struggle with feeling like

557
00:35:05.040 --> 00:35:09.920
unseen and maybe unwelcome. Well, Jesus knows what it's like to be acquainted with grief,

558
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:15.600
a man of sorrows, a man of suffering, one who was despised and rejected out of Isaiah 53.

559
00:35:16.240 --> 00:35:20.560
And he knows exactly where you sit. He's the God who weeps, the God who bleeds,

560
00:35:20.560 --> 00:35:25.840
but praise the one who would reach for you, for reach for me. Hallelujah to the son of suffering.

561
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:31.760
And I just, as I felt from the Lord today, an invitation into healing and receiving healing,

562
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:37.280
especially physical healing, and an invitation to remembering that he is with you in your humanity,

563
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:42.720
no matter what trial you're facing. Just like what Ebony said, it may not be direct restoration in

564
00:35:42.720 --> 00:35:49.360
that particular area. It may be that he brings, he may bring the revelation or the breakthrough in

565
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.600
a different area, but he's with you in the waiting. So I bless whoever that's for.

566
00:35:55.840 --> 00:36:08.400
All right, I'm going to go ahead. I'm looking for one other thing real quick.

567
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:17.840
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So good. So Shelly was declaring some of her stuff. Man, Elizabeth,

568
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:22.240
that was so good. I love the way that God just brings all of their team together. None of us

569
00:36:22.240 --> 00:36:27.520
ever talk, y'all. So this is just always so fun to see what God does. But as Shelly was sharing,

570
00:36:29.120 --> 00:36:34.720
I started, like, I just saw a flash of a big, tall, okay, this is significant, a big, tall

571
00:36:35.680 --> 00:36:41.040
clock tower. And when I asked the Lord what it was, I heard in my spirit, Big Ben.

572
00:36:42.080 --> 00:36:47.440
And so a couple things I just want to release to you is that I believe that, and I even said this

573
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:53.040
a little bit earlier, so I feel like this is God's confirmation on this word, is that God is

574
00:36:53.040 --> 00:37:00.480
elevating our perspective tonight. He wants to help us elevate in the natural as well as the spiritual

575
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:06.880
to see into what God is doing. You know, again, we, you know, we talk a lot about capacity. I think

576
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:12.240
tonight, one of the things that I want to really encourage us to continue to lean into is that God

577
00:37:12.240 --> 00:37:22.240
would increase our capacity to perceive a thing. You know, God can help us to have eyes to see what

578
00:37:22.240 --> 00:37:31.440
His Spirit is doing. That is part of what enables us to resist the lies, to turn away from that

579
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:37.600
stuff, and continue to partner with the truth. The clock tower itself, I believe, is linking to

580
00:37:37.600 --> 00:37:43.360
God's appointed time. There's an appointed time and season for everything under, you know, heaven.

581
00:37:44.080 --> 00:37:50.320
And God's appointed time is unfolding in your life, in my life, in all of our lives. And again,

582
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:56.400
it's about trusting Him in the process. If we struggle to believe that God is actually doing

583
00:37:56.400 --> 00:38:01.600
what He said He would do, y'all, that goes back to a trust issue with probably people

584
00:38:02.640 --> 00:38:07.280
that we are projecting onto God. And some of us, you know, years ago got hurt and believed

585
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:11.600
that God wasn't trustworthy. Well, we know that His character in the Bible says that He is.

586
00:38:12.240 --> 00:38:19.680
He's not a man that He should lie, right? So if we are struggling to trust, again, that goes back to

587
00:38:19.680 --> 00:38:27.200
a heart condition in us. What is God trying to do in you tonight to help you shift to be able

588
00:38:27.200 --> 00:38:32.320
to have the capacity to receive the vision He wants to give you for where He's taking you?

589
00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:38.800
Here's the other part. So interesting, literally you guys, I'm not a history person.

590
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:46.720
I know Big Ben, I knew it was a big tower, but I actually had to look it up to remember where

591
00:38:46.720 --> 00:38:55.040
it was at and all the things. So interestingly enough, you know, Big Ben is in, what does it say

592
00:38:56.000 --> 00:39:03.200
say here? The Windsor Castle. And you know, it chimes all the time. It says this,

593
00:39:03.200 --> 00:39:11.680
Big Ben's bell, when struck each hour has an unmistakable sound. And something is I kept

594
00:39:11.680 --> 00:39:15.680
reading that stood out to me is there were some other people that gave prophetic words about this

595
00:39:15.680 --> 00:39:23.680
Big Ben. And it said this, when Big Ben strikes 12, there will be a shift in the nation. And so

596
00:39:23.680 --> 00:39:28.320
I just want to declare that tonight there's, again, I believe there's this shift happening

597
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:34.080
in our community. There's this shift happening in the spirit realm, and God is doing something

598
00:39:34.080 --> 00:39:40.400
supernatural in us in this time, in this season. And it says that there's a plaque in the clock

599
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:47.200
room of Big Ben with the verse based on Psalm 37, 23 through 24. So I'm going to read that over us,

600
00:39:47.200 --> 00:39:52.720
and this is what it says. The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him,

601
00:39:53.200 --> 00:39:57.280
though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

602
00:39:58.560 --> 00:39:59.760
I'm going to read it again.

603
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.000
The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him.

604
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.540
Though he may stumble, he will not fall,

605
00:40:07.540 --> 00:40:10.400
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

606
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:12.520
And I'm gonna activate us tonight,

607
00:40:12.520 --> 00:40:14.040
even though it's not Sunday night activation,

608
00:40:14.040 --> 00:40:15.560
I just feel led to do this.

609
00:40:15.560 --> 00:40:18.340
And so I wanna encourage everyone that's able or willing,

610
00:40:18.340 --> 00:40:20.480
and if you don't feel comfortable, that's fine.

611
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:23.120
But I wanna encourage you to put your hand on your,

612
00:40:23.120 --> 00:40:26.320
oh, do we wanna do heart, Lord, or we wanna do our eyes?

613
00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:31.840
Hmm, all right, we're gonna do up on our head.

614
00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:35.320
We're gonna go up by our head because our perceiver,

615
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:37.120
we gotta activate our perceiver.

616
00:40:37.120 --> 00:40:41.400
So as I pray, I just wanna encourage you to partner with me,

617
00:40:42.240 --> 00:40:43.960
that God is gonna help you to be able

618
00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:47.400
to perceive things differently in the days to come.

619
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:50.960
Father, I thank you right now that you're here with us, God,

620
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:53.400
that you are shifting things in the midnight hour,

621
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:57.520
even right now as we draw close to that timeframe,

622
00:40:57.520 --> 00:41:00.320
God, you're shifting things in the supernatural.

623
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:02.720
God, I thank you that you would help every one of us

624
00:41:02.720 --> 00:41:05.840
to be able to perceive, God, what your spirit is doing,

625
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:08.800
what your spirit is saying more than ever before.

626
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:11.120
God, I thank you that people that have had struggles

627
00:41:11.120 --> 00:41:13.440
with insight revelation, struggles with hearing you,

628
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:16.400
God, struggle with discerning what is the right thing to do,

629
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:17.820
the wrong thing to do, God, I thank you

630
00:41:17.820 --> 00:41:19.800
that you just remove all of that.

631
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:21.840
Even those are old dead seasons, God,

632
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:24.120
I thank you that we can partner with the new.

633
00:41:24.120 --> 00:41:25.920
God, I know that you are doing a new thing

634
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:29.940
as Isaiah 43, 19 declares, can you not perceive it?

635
00:41:29.940 --> 00:41:32.080
So God, I thank you that you would just increase

636
00:41:32.080 --> 00:41:35.960
our capacity tonight to perceive it,

637
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:38.440
that you are bringing rivers where there's been a wasteland

638
00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:40.000
and streams in the desert.

639
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:42.880
Yes, Lord, where it's felt dry in seasons past

640
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:44.440
and even maybe this morning,

641
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:47.200
God, I thank you for rivers flowing,

642
00:41:47.200 --> 00:41:50.760
rivers of living water flowing up and out of our bellies.

643
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:53.980
Yes, Lord, there will be a new song.

644
00:41:53.980 --> 00:41:55.780
There would be a new song that we would sing.

645
00:41:55.780 --> 00:41:59.320
God, I thank you that you would, Lord, just again,

646
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:02.760
Lord, open eyes, open minds, open hearts.

647
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:05.660
God, we ask you to heal areas that are broken,

648
00:42:05.660 --> 00:42:07.800
that have caused people to struggle

649
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:12.040
to connect with you, God, on a relational way.

650
00:42:12.040 --> 00:42:13.800
We thank you for intimacy with you

651
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:17.240
that's gonna be fresh, fresh wind, fresh fire.

652
00:42:17.240 --> 00:42:21.560
Come Holy Spirit and have your way in Jesus name.

653
00:42:21.560 --> 00:42:23.280
Amen, amen, amen.

654
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:24.960
Anyone else on the team have anything

655
00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:26.280
that you feel led to share?

656
00:42:31.220 --> 00:42:35.080
I was gonna share my last word that I heard, Bethany, today.

657
00:42:35.080 --> 00:42:38.360
It was in reference to Holy Spirit as well.

658
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:42.620
So I saw, I was praying and I saw a red stop sign

659
00:42:42.620 --> 00:42:45.600
and then I saw a green go sign

660
00:42:45.600 --> 00:42:48.440
and then I saw a yellow yield sign.

661
00:42:48.440 --> 00:42:52.340
And I heard we're either not moving forward,

662
00:42:53.240 --> 00:42:55.400
parked at the red stop sign,

663
00:42:55.400 --> 00:43:00.400
or we're zooming by on the green go sign, full speed ahead.

664
00:43:01.640 --> 00:43:06.420
But there's a yellow sign and that's a yield sign.

665
00:43:06.420 --> 00:43:10.320
And I sensed the Lord say, yield yourselves to God.

666
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:14.580
Surrender your plans and let Holy Spirit lead you.

667
00:43:14.580 --> 00:43:16.940
In all that you do, in all your decisions,

668
00:43:16.940 --> 00:43:21.060
before you move, check with God, check with Holy Spirit.

669
00:43:21.060 --> 00:43:23.260
See what he says about it.

670
00:43:23.260 --> 00:43:25.700
Perceive, like Bethany was just talking,

671
00:43:25.700 --> 00:43:28.020
perceive what he's telling you.

672
00:43:28.020 --> 00:43:31.220
And then it brought me to Proverbs 3, 5, 6,

673
00:43:33.700 --> 00:43:37.060
in the message translation, it said it very clearly.

674
00:43:37.060 --> 00:43:40.420
It said, trust God from the bottom of your heart.

675
00:43:40.420 --> 00:43:43.980
Don't try to figure out everything on your own.

676
00:43:44.020 --> 00:43:47.540
Listen for God's voice in everything you do,

677
00:43:47.540 --> 00:43:49.260
everywhere you go.

678
00:43:49.260 --> 00:43:53.180
He's the one who will keep you on track.

679
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:01.780
This word ties into what you were saying,

680
00:44:01.780 --> 00:44:02.980
Yamina and Bethany.

681
00:44:02.980 --> 00:44:04.580
I think everybody tonight,

682
00:44:04.580 --> 00:44:07.540
but Deuteronomy chapter two is very interesting.

683
00:44:07.540 --> 00:44:08.860
And what happens at the beginning,

684
00:44:08.860 --> 00:44:11.260
they're kind of wandering through the wilderness.

685
00:44:11.260 --> 00:44:12.540
And this is what the Lord says.

686
00:44:12.540 --> 00:44:14.300
And then we turn back and set out toward,

687
00:44:14.300 --> 00:44:15.820
well, this is what the scripture says.

688
00:44:15.820 --> 00:44:18.220
Then we turn back and set out toward the wilderness

689
00:44:18.220 --> 00:44:20.860
along the route to the Red Sea.

690
00:44:20.860 --> 00:44:22.860
As the Lord had directed me,

691
00:44:22.860 --> 00:44:24.660
for a long time we made our way

692
00:44:24.660 --> 00:44:27.260
around the hill country of Seir.

693
00:44:27.260 --> 00:44:28.820
Then the Lord said to me,

694
00:44:28.820 --> 00:44:33.420
you have made your way around this hill country long enough.

695
00:44:33.420 --> 00:44:36.440
Now turn north.

696
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:39.620
And so I want to declare that you made your way

697
00:44:39.620 --> 00:44:41.820
around this hill country long enough.

698
00:44:41.820 --> 00:44:43.460
Now it's time for some of us,

699
00:44:43.460 --> 00:44:46.500
if this word resonates with you, to shift north.

700
00:44:46.500 --> 00:44:48.580
Now, as they began to shift north,

701
00:44:48.580 --> 00:44:50.540
they began to go and he would tell them like,

702
00:44:50.540 --> 00:44:54.660
look, don't try to take the land from them.

703
00:44:54.660 --> 00:44:56.220
I promise this land is Esau.

704
00:44:56.220 --> 00:44:57.380
You can't have that land.

705
00:44:57.380 --> 00:44:58.580
They looked over at another land.

706
00:44:58.580 --> 00:45:00.780
Don't try to come take that land from them.

707
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.120
them. You're gonna lose if you go to war against them. That's not your land. But God gave them

708
00:45:05.120 --> 00:45:10.640
specific land that was for them. He told them you can't have this, you can't have that. And what I

709
00:45:10.640 --> 00:45:16.640
want to say to you, sometimes in the places of our life we have not rightly perceived or identified

710
00:45:16.640 --> 00:45:22.400
the land in which we are in or the times or the season that we're in. And so a lot of times we

711
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:27.280
believe we're right here and we're saying you're not coming through God because I want the land

712
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:33.440
of this. And he says that's not this, this ain't that. You need to, you've went around this hill

713
00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:38.080
country long, I want you to turn north and I have a land for you. And it's so good when we can

714
00:45:38.080 --> 00:45:43.200
perceive the land that the Lord has given us because then that land becomes a treasure on

715
00:45:43.200 --> 00:45:48.480
the inside of us that we get to use, we get to have, we get to take ownership. But when we don't

716
00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:56.320
rightly identify the land that the Lord has given to us, then we miss, we miss what God is doing.

717
00:45:56.320 --> 00:46:02.000
And he has given you a land, whatever season, whatever time you in, there is a land to be

718
00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:08.240
conquered. The Lord wastes nothing. So how will I know if it's my land? How would I know to turn

719
00:46:08.240 --> 00:46:13.600
north? The Bible says in the book of James, if any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God and he will

720
00:46:13.600 --> 00:46:20.160
give it to him liberally and without reproach. He will not scorn you for asking him for wisdom

721
00:46:20.160 --> 00:46:25.360
because I am telling you, wherever your feet are planted right now, there's a land that the Lord

722
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:32.000
God has given to you because he wastes nothing. The Bible says that God makes all things beautiful

723
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:39.120
in his time. He literally wastes absolutely nothing. Everything that is in front of you,

724
00:46:39.120 --> 00:46:45.440
the Lord is using it as an avenue to get to you because you are the treasure of his heart.

725
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:53.280
You are the delight. Amen. Amen. So powerful. I've been

726
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:58.160
deliberating whether to say this or not, but I'll just put it out there. I'll just put this out

727
00:46:58.160 --> 00:47:04.800
there. Elizabeth had shared and said, I bet I'm going to hear the song at church. And she heard

728
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:12.960
that song at church. And so what we speak, what we speak, all those things come alive. And so

729
00:47:13.520 --> 00:47:20.880
this was 2022. 2022, I reached out to this community. I said, pray for me, pray for me.

730
00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:27.600
I have an exam. I have an exam. And you prayed. But I didn't pass the exam. I was disappointed.

731
00:47:28.160 --> 00:47:33.760
I didn't pass the exam. It meant a lot to me. And I thought, I'm not ready to try again.

732
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:40.320
We're here for a purpose and we keep trying. And we're like, should I quit? I'm not ready to try

733
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:47.920
again. It's been since 2022, 2021, 2020. It's not happening. Am I ready? But this year I said,

734
00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:56.400
let me try again. Let me try again. And so I did, but I wrestled. The past, the past was coming up,

735
00:47:56.400 --> 00:48:02.800
the lies of the past. What if, and as Bethany said, it was, the lies were ringing so loud,

736
00:48:03.520 --> 00:48:09.760
but God was giving me all kinds of messages, soft, quiet messages and saying, I prepare a table

737
00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:16.480
before you in the presence of your enemies, where your computer would be. That is the table I'm

738
00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:24.960
preparing before your enemies and your head is anointed with oil. And so I thank God for wisdom.

739
00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:30.800
I said, Lord, I thank you for anointed my head with oil. And he said, Psalm 23, he was downloading

740
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:36.960
that in me. He said, my rod and my staff would comfort you. In other words, one question at a

741
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:44.400
time, I will guide you. One question at a time. So day by day, God is guiding us. So what we put

742
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:51.040
out there is so important. He said, Lord, why am I, why? I believe you're great. You can do this,

743
00:48:51.040 --> 00:48:57.840
but I don't like the way I'm feeling within. I wrestled, I stumbled, but God helped me that I

744
00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:04.960
didn't fall. And so that morning I sent text messages. Actually, I typed text messages that I

745
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:12.640
was going to send in advance. I passed, I passed, I passed, but I hadn't passed yet in the physical.

746
00:49:13.600 --> 00:49:17.440
And so Bethany, you're one of those who were, you were praying for me and I thank you for that.

747
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:26.080
But I had typed what I was going to send in advance. I passed, thank you for praying,

748
00:49:26.080 --> 00:49:38.720
glory be to God. And so I saw the score. I passed. It was 91, the score. And 91, Psalm 91 is my walk

749
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:44.640
ankle. The exam is walk related. It's my walk ankle. And God was still speaking to me.

750
00:49:45.680 --> 00:49:50.800
What am I saying? The words we speak, even in advance, when I hadn't seen the score,

751
00:49:50.800 --> 00:49:56.160
when I hadn't even taken the exam. For those who had been praying for me, I had pretexted,

752
00:49:57.360 --> 00:49:59.840
pretext as a word. I said, Lord,

753
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.520
by faith, because you said you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

754
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:10.400
And so when I saw the score, the first thing was glory to God, hallelujah.

755
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:16.480
And then I started sending the messages, send, send, send, send all the things that's typed

756
00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:23.200
in advance. And so the words we speak matter. Elizabeth said, I bet I'm going to hear the song

757
00:50:23.200 --> 00:50:29.200
at church. She did. On Thursday, when I led prayer, I said, guess what? Guess what?

758
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:37.200
Don't you think we could write our love, our love vision, our wedding vows? Let's do that

759
00:50:37.200 --> 00:50:42.720
as an activation. Within seven days, let us write it, write your love vision,

760
00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:50.080
write your vows, look at them and say, hmm, I bet I'm going to meet my spirit mate today.

761
00:50:50.560 --> 00:50:56.000
I'm better. Speak it. What do you have to lose? You're partnering with God.

762
00:50:57.120 --> 00:51:03.920
Even though 2022, I prayed, help me, Lord. But God said, this is the year it would happen.

763
00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:09.120
This is the year it would happen. And nothing will take that away.

764
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:16.320
And so I want to speak that into each and every person here. When God says yes,

765
00:51:17.200 --> 00:51:24.400
nobody can say no. Your time is your time and nothing can take that away. Glory be to God.

766
00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:31.920
Hold them. Hold them. Hold those words. You never know. Tomorrow, next week, seven days, three days

767
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:37.280
might be the moment for you. Praise be to God. Amen.

768
00:51:38.240 --> 00:51:42.080
Kemi, that's so powerful. I just want to say one thing. If someone's like, well,

769
00:51:42.080 --> 00:51:47.120
that just sounds like manifestation. When our spirits are connected, it says in Romans 8 and

770
00:51:47.120 --> 00:51:51.440
Bethany mentioned Romans 8 earlier that I love it in the message translation where it says,

771
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:56.640
our spirits bear witness with his spirit that we are children of God. And when we are crying out,

772
00:51:56.640 --> 00:51:59.600
all the creation is groaning, waiting for the sons of God to be revealed.

773
00:51:59.600 --> 00:52:03.520
And because we are spirit first, when we're connected to the Holy Spirit,

774
00:52:03.520 --> 00:52:08.720
he lives outside of time, which is why we can know things in advance or sense things in advance.

775
00:52:08.720 --> 00:52:14.800
And so that's still small knowing. That's as we lean in to the Lord, that's him bearing

776
00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:20.640
witness with our spirit and he's forming us to look like Jesus. So that's why Kemi can know

777
00:52:20.640 --> 00:52:25.920
things in advance, just like you can know things in advance. And it's not kooky. It's not weird.

778
00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:31.040
It's part of us being formed in the likeness of Jesus as we're connected to the Holy Spirit.

779
00:52:31.040 --> 00:52:34.720
And he bears witness with our spirit that as we're children of God

780
00:52:34.720 --> 00:52:37.840
and shows us things in advance because he's a good father.

781
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:39.280
Amen.

782
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:52.400
Man, this is so rich. I want to make sure before I hop back in, because we're already at seven

783
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:56.640
minutes and I have something that could maybe carry us over the eight. So I just want to,

784
00:52:56.640 --> 00:53:01.680
or the nine. Anyone else on the team have anything else you feel led,

785
00:53:01.680 --> 00:53:03.520
kind of burning in your spirit to share?

786
00:53:03.760 --> 00:53:07.760
I just keep hearing the time is now and that could,

787
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:12.400
everybody has a different life and different things going on,

788
00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:15.600
but I really hear that in the spirit that the time is now.

789
00:53:23.040 --> 00:53:26.880
Okay. I'm going to take us. I think that's a good cue. If no one else on the team,

790
00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:32.320
I was trying to hesitate long enough to see if everyone was kind of sound mind. Okay.

791
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:39.600
Okay. So interestingly enough, Chrissy, thank you. De Oliveri putting in the chat there. I loved,

792
00:53:39.600 --> 00:53:43.440
I don't know if you all saw it, but she said Benjamin means son of the right hand.

793
00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:48.640
And even as Ebony is saying, the time is now, the time is now. And Elizabeth sharing, you know,

794
00:53:48.640 --> 00:53:53.280
the spirit of God is bearing witness with our spirit tonight. He's coming in. And again,

795
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:58.800
I just think all these things are kind of coming around the, can we perceive it?

796
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:02.880
And he's not disappointed in us. You all, when we struggle to perceive it,

797
00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:08.800
can I just, let me just call that out too. Y'all think I didn't struggle to perceive it.

798
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:13.520
And even now, you know, struggle in my own ways with other things to perceive those things.

799
00:54:13.520 --> 00:54:18.080
There are times where God lays something on our hearts and he's calling us into something. And it's,

800
00:54:18.080 --> 00:54:24.720
and you're just kind of like, how, how's that going to happen? You know, I don't fully see

801
00:54:25.520 --> 00:54:29.440
that right now, but even in some of these prophetic words, as I've even been looking

802
00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:34.240
further into some of these for myself tonight, as other people have been releasing words,

803
00:54:34.240 --> 00:54:37.840
I'm like, man, I got to spend some time with this. God is saying something to me personally

804
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:43.120
through this too. And here's what I want to give you. I looked up what Chrissy said there,

805
00:54:43.120 --> 00:54:46.880
the, you know, Benjamin means son of the right hand going back to the big Ben.

806
00:54:48.240 --> 00:54:51.600
Again, I think there's something really pivotal in this word for us tonight,

807
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:56.240
that the clock is ringing. The time is now God is shifting things,

808
00:54:56.880 --> 00:54:59.840
but this is something that I thought was really cool. You know,

809
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.320
Benjamin was the youngest son of Jacob and his name carries a very prophetic weight to it, you all.

810
00:55:07.840 --> 00:55:15.280
Rachel originally named him Ben-O-Ni, son of Mysaro, but Jacob renamed his son

811
00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:24.000
Benjamin, son of the right hand. Woo! Yes, Lord. Some of y'all are going to get a new name in the

812
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:33.440
spirit. Yeah, and some of this is way beyond even the name. It's just inherited trauma. Yes, Lord.

813
00:55:34.640 --> 00:55:40.240
Some of you are releasing inherited trauma tonight. You're going to come out from under the

814
00:55:40.240 --> 00:55:46.000
cloak of the son of the sorrow, so to speak. You can put with it whatever that is for you. Again,

815
00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:52.960
this, you know, the son of the financial debt constantly, son of the shame, son of the

816
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:58.960
displacement, whatever that means for you. I'm not trying to add to scripture. I'm just trying

817
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:05.920
to make it relatable to where you're at in your life, in your situation, but Jacob renamed his

818
00:56:05.920 --> 00:56:12.000
son and God comes and he says to us, I'm renaming you. I'm declaring a word over you. I'm declaring

819
00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:16.880
who you are and all that you're destined to step into and all that you're destined to become and,

820
00:56:16.880 --> 00:56:20.960
you know, just like they stood outside of the land that was flowing with milk and honey and

821
00:56:21.120 --> 00:56:26.320
Joshua and Caleb could see what was possible, but everybody else saw the giants in the land.

822
00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:32.320
You all, we are those people. Again, there's no shame. There's no shame in the fact that

823
00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:36.240
we look at the land and we're like, man, those giants are way too big.

824
00:56:39.200 --> 00:56:46.800
Some of us, that's our lives. The lies are so loud. They're so big that we are struggling to

825
00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:52.080
see that God is working and he's aligning and he's weaving a masterpiece and he's saying,

826
00:56:52.880 --> 00:56:58.480
this land is yours. I'm giving it to you, but we have to learn how to go in and take it

827
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:05.360
to receive it and you all sometimes fight for it. Here's the thing I want to kind of

828
00:57:05.360 --> 00:57:13.440
start to hone in on regarding Benjamin. Even in the meaning of the son of the right hand,

829
00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:22.240
it was a prophetic act of redemption. That name change shifted him from what began in grief.

830
00:57:23.040 --> 00:57:34.000
It was reframed through the father into honor and position. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord.

831
00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:42.000
The father is here and he's repositioning us and he's saying,

832
00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:46.560
hey, I'm reframing this story for you tonight.

833
00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:52.560
I really want to encourage you all, like Kemi was talking about writing some things down.

834
00:57:52.560 --> 00:57:57.600
I think some of y'all need to literally take a photo screenshot of your brain if you can

835
00:57:57.600 --> 00:58:02.160
when you're having some of these thoughts and write them out, even if they're negative,

836
00:58:02.160 --> 00:58:08.640
and go back to what we've taught in the heart work, in the whole silhouette activation. The

837
00:58:08.640 --> 00:58:13.040
guys may not have this in theirs, but we walk everybody through how to like, when you hear

838
00:58:13.040 --> 00:58:19.360
something negative that you write it down on paper and you say, okay, that isn't from the Lord,

839
00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:24.480
and you cross that sucker out and you say, okay, Lord, what is the truth to replace the lie?

840
00:58:25.440 --> 00:58:30.480
If I hear that I'm rejected, well, if I just like, yep, they're rejecting me. Y'all, yes,

841
00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:35.760
things like this happen in the physical realm and I could walk around. I mean, shoot, y'all,

842
00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:39.120
let me just be honest. Leading a church is freaking hard.

843
00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:48.080
Everybody isn't on board with what God leads us to do. We have people that reject us all the time,

844
00:58:51.360 --> 00:58:55.120
but we can't allow that to hinder us from following God

845
00:58:56.800 --> 00:59:01.200
and to partner with, oh, I'm just rejected. They're never gonna, they're just gonna dislike

846
00:59:01.200 --> 00:59:05.360
us and, you know, that people pleasing kicks in and you feel like you got to make everybody happy.

847
00:59:06.560 --> 00:59:15.520
No, we got our eyes on the prize. Lord, where are you leading? And that wherever you go,

848
00:59:15.520 --> 00:59:20.640
Lord, I'm gonna go. My husband just preached for weeks on Ruth. Y'all check that book out.

849
00:59:20.640 --> 00:59:27.120
If you haven't read that book in the Bible for a long time, Ruth, Ruth surrendered

850
00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:37.200
her idea, you know, I mean, so much more, but she chose to follow what she came to learn to be true

851
00:59:37.200 --> 00:59:45.440
through Naomi. She saw something different in Naomi, a God that was love, a God that was a

852
00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:55.200
lot of amazing things. And because of that display, Ruth followed her and y'all know the story. Most

853
00:59:55.200 --> 00:59:59.920
of you probably do, but God not only

854
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:07.000
provided for them, led them to Boaz, y'all and you know we, Boaz broke as you know

855
01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:10.200
the whole thing that Jackie talks about, we're not getting stuck on Boaz so don't

856
01:00:10.200 --> 01:00:16.920
go there, but the point of why I'm bringing this up is you all, Ruth and

857
01:00:16.920 --> 01:00:27.000
Boaz led to the lineage that led to Jesus. Ruth had to obey and walk in the

858
01:00:27.000 --> 01:00:32.120
moment and I'm so thankful my husband, he preached such a great series and this

859
01:00:32.120 --> 01:00:38.200
morning that's one of the things he said, you know we think, we have such a vision

860
01:00:38.200 --> 01:00:42.800
down there and that's good that but sometimes we forget how important right

861
01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:49.880
now is, so where is your heart right now leading you? What's one thing you can do

862
01:00:49.880 --> 01:00:55.560
tonight, tomorrow to step into the story God is writing in the positive direction

863
01:00:55.560 --> 01:01:01.800
and understand that God is so good at writing amazing stories including your

864
01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:09.560
love story, he's not forgotten you, but again you got a partner, Ruth had to

865
01:01:09.560 --> 01:01:14.440
partner the whole way, Ruth went out in the fields y'all day after day after day

866
01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:22.480
to glean, you know and if you read that story, a foreigner they go on the edges,

867
01:01:22.480 --> 01:01:30.080
they typically have to take what's left over, there's so many aspects to what was

868
01:01:30.080 --> 01:01:35.720
hard for her, but y'all she didn't just give in to the hard, she allowed God to

869
01:01:35.720 --> 01:01:41.120
use her to be a vessel to bring provision for Naomi and the whole family

870
01:01:41.120 --> 01:01:50.240
and again that legacy that then led to Jesus, so who's in your legacy? Think

871
01:01:50.240 --> 01:01:55.120
about it, we don't even know right now what is to come from our generations

872
01:01:55.120 --> 01:01:59.120
behind us because of what we're doing right now, some of you the fight that

873
01:01:59.120 --> 01:02:04.120
you're fighting right now, it's gonna help pave the way for your grandkids and

874
01:02:04.120 --> 01:02:09.080
their grandkids and their grandkids, this is so much more than just about us,

875
01:02:09.080 --> 01:02:17.280
praise the Lord for that, that we get to do this, so when you feel weary, trust the

876
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:21.840
Lord, lean to the Lord, that was one of the things I had to really cling to and

877
01:02:21.840 --> 01:02:29.080
as I start to close tonight, it helped me focus on what was true, as I kept

878
01:02:29.080 --> 01:02:34.920
thinking about this isn't just about me, it was about what God wanted to unfold

879
01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:44.480
in my life, but I wanted it for my kids too, so who are you fighting for

880
01:02:44.520 --> 01:02:51.920
beyond yourself? Who are you gonna resist the lies for beyond yourself? You know, I

881
01:02:51.920 --> 01:02:56.400
know Renee led a really amazing prayer time yesterday, we prayed regarding

882
01:02:56.400 --> 01:03:01.200
midwives, you know, y'all I was a midwife in our community, prayed in to someone

883
01:03:01.200 --> 01:03:08.040
else's story long before Brian came into my life and I got to walk into my story,

884
01:03:08.360 --> 01:03:14.000
so let's lean into what God is saying, things are changing, things are shifting,

885
01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:18.400
remember, even if you're struggling to hear what the Spirit is saying or you're

886
01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:22.120
struggling to perceive, just like we did tonight, you can go back and partner with

887
01:03:22.120 --> 01:03:26.920
that again, y'all, can you all understand like years ago, I used to drive all the

888
01:03:26.920 --> 01:03:31.320
time and put my hands on my ears and say, God, I thank you that I hear what your

889
01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:34.480
Spirit is saying, that your sheep hear your voice and they obey all that you

890
01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:40.560
tell them to do, I would do it all the time and I don't think for one second

891
01:03:41.520 --> 01:03:45.840
that that was wasted because I'm not saying I always hear him all the time,

892
01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:50.440
every single moment, but man, I'm so grateful that I hear him and have the

893
01:03:50.440 --> 01:03:57.400
relationship I do and I think back to those days and I still do that from time

894
01:03:57.400 --> 01:04:01.840
to time because I don't ever want to think for a second, this is about me.

895
01:04:05.120 --> 01:04:10.160
So as we start to log off tonight, who's somebody that you can bless this week?

896
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:18.080
Because you know, when we feel hopeless and sad and down, when we look to the

897
01:04:18.080 --> 01:04:21.840
need of someone else, sometimes it can help us shift out of that, this isn't

898
01:04:21.840 --> 01:04:25.920
about shaming you if you feel sad or down, I just want to tell you some things

899
01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:32.640
that helped me get out of that stuff, God has something new for you, are you

900
01:04:32.640 --> 01:04:36.600
going to let him rewrite your story and write a new chapter that is full of

901
01:04:37.080 --> 01:04:42.520
goodness and mercy and the blessing and the fullness and the favor of the Lord

902
01:04:42.520 --> 01:04:50.080
over you and your family? You are a kinsman redeemer. Yes, Lord, do you

903
01:04:50.080 --> 01:04:56.520
believe it? We can believe it for you all the time, but it's whether or not

904
01:04:56.520 --> 01:05:00.040
individually we choose to say, I am God.

905
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.920
Thank you that I get to be a kinsman redeemer in my family.

906
01:05:04.480 --> 01:05:07.680
Yes, Lord. I feel the Holy Spirit. That's why I'm lingering a little bit.

907
01:05:09.520 --> 01:05:12.000
I love the Lord. He loves you all so much.

908
01:05:17.520 --> 01:05:20.640
Yes, Lord. When it feels heavy this week, Lord, I pray that you would just

909
01:05:21.440 --> 01:05:27.280
remind every son and daughter that you're the lifter of our heads, God.

910
01:05:27.920 --> 01:05:34.000
Nothing is too hard for you. Even as Elizabeth was referencing to earlier,

911
01:05:34.720 --> 01:05:39.360
he feels the sorrow, but he is a mighty God. He's with us in it all.

912
01:05:44.080 --> 01:05:51.440
Kinsman redeemer is a symbolic statement. In the Bible, yes, Rebecca, it was a male.

913
01:05:51.440 --> 01:05:58.800
It was Boaz, but God calls us to be kinsman redeemers. Jesus was a kinsman redeemer,

914
01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:06.080
was he not? And we're called to live and be like Jesus. And so if Jesus was a kinsman redeemer,

915
01:06:06.080 --> 01:06:11.040
he enables us to redeem our family lines. And I don't think it always has to come only through

916
01:06:11.040 --> 01:06:18.240
men. There were women and men that did amazing works greater than even Jesus did when he was

917
01:06:18.240 --> 01:06:23.040
here and he continues to do so today. Great question. So let me pray us out. Father, thank

918
01:06:23.040 --> 01:06:29.200
you so much for the power of your presence, the sweetness of your presence. God, even when we

919
01:06:29.200 --> 01:06:36.720
don't feel it, God, you're there. Lord, when we feel puny and small, when we're sick or we're

920
01:06:36.720 --> 01:06:43.280
struggling or any of those moments, God, where we're just restless, all the in-between, God,

921
01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:48.800
I pray that you would just meet us there. Meet us on the mountaintop, meet us in the valley below.

922
01:06:50.160 --> 01:06:54.320
God, I thank you that you would give us the foresight and the vision and the perception

923
01:06:55.680 --> 01:07:00.160
to see what you're doing, to not partner with the lies and the discouragement of the devil.

924
01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:07.040
Where we feel hopeless, God, I ask you to just breathe fresh hope. Where there's unbelief, God,

925
01:07:07.040 --> 01:07:12.720
I thank you that you'll help us to have belief, increase our faith, give us a gift of faith,

926
01:07:12.720 --> 01:07:19.360
and impart to us the heart and the mind of heaven. Yes, Lord, I pray for healing of our

927
01:07:19.360 --> 01:07:24.400
hearts, minds, bodies, spirits, and souls. God, that you would align us completely to your good

928
01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:28.480
and perfect and pleasing will for our lives, that you would help us to walk into the fullness

929
01:07:28.480 --> 01:07:32.640
of your plans and your promises for us long before trauma or wounds ever entered our lives.

930
01:07:32.640 --> 01:07:38.160
God, I thank you that you will continue to seal this word in our hearts and that it will ring true

931
01:07:38.160 --> 01:07:43.520
just like the Big Ben, the ring of the clock, God, that we would continue to hear the sound of

932
01:07:43.520 --> 01:07:50.320
heaven ringing over us just like Zephaniah 317, that you rejoice over us with singing, Lord,

933
01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:54.880
and you're declaring that you are doing a new thing. You're writing our story and there's a

934
01:07:54.880 --> 01:08:00.960
