00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.520
Hey, good evening. Everyone welcome.

2
00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:17.120
Hello. Hello. Hello. Let me just kind of do a couple little tech things here. Still.

3
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:27.000
I think we've got everything situated. All right. I'll go ahead and spotlight our other team members here in just a few minutes. I see some of y'all right now. So let me go ahead and do that.

4
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:48.000
There we go. Miss Yamina. Other team members just know when I see you in the thing here in a little bit, I'll add you too. So welcome. If you've never been here for a prophetic ministry night, we do this one Sunday night a month, typically the last Sunday night of every month.

5
00:00:49.000 --> 00:01:07.000
And just want to let those of you that are new kind of know what the expectation is for the night. This is a time where our team, our prayer leaders, people that operate in the prophetic have prayed and prepared and brought what we believe God is saying for the movement in general.

6
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:17.000
Back in the day, we used to try to give prophetic words to individuals and y'all were just too big for that now. But God does some really awesome stuff. And so I pray and hope that you'll be encouraged.

7
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:29.000
This isn't necessarily a time where other people who operate in the prophetic will have opportunity to share. So these are all people that are a part of our team or they volunteer with us. And so they're vetted out, if you will.

8
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:50.000
So while I know and I'm confident that a lot of you probably have those giftings, it will be just our team doing that tonight. And so be praying as we go about the evening. One of the things I'm going to ask all of you tonight is that there wouldn't be a lot of side conversations about stuff that is not being shared tonight.

9
00:01:51.000 --> 00:02:10.000
So I know you all are trying to connect with each other. That's awesome. But sometimes that's very distracting when the team is trying to minister and we're trying to stay in the flow of the Holy Spirit. And so even if some people are struggling, I don't want anyone to feel like you have to minister to people tonight. We're here to receive from the Lord.

10
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:29.000
And so I just really want to encourage everyone to stay focused on what we're here for tonight. We're here to hear from heaven for ourselves. And what is God saying to us through what is he releasing over the movement of last year's single? And so if you did not know, that is really kind of what we want to do every time we have a prophetic ministry night.

11
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:57.000
Even on Supernatural Saturdays, sometimes there's just total side conversations happening. And y'all, that can be very distracting for the other people that are really just trying to respond regarding what's being shared. So I want to encourage everybody to work on that in the community in the days to come. And we're going to go ahead and pray. We're going to get started. I see some of the other team members saying hi. So as team members join, please let me know in the chat and I will go ahead and work on pinning you as well.

12
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:25.000
So Father, thank you so much for this night. We thank you for everything that you're already doing in our lives. God, we thank you that you desire to have relationship with us. You desire to help us to hear what your spirit is saying, not just to us as individuals, but to us as a movement. God, we believe that everyone that is here right now in this season is here by divine design by you. God, I pray that you would help us to hear what your spirit is saying to the movement.

13
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:48.000
God, and that we would grab onto that for ourselves. God, that as things are released, God, that we would have ears to hear and hearts that are open. So Lord, remove any callousness, remove anything that could hinder us from receiving the truth of your word. God, we thank you that you move. And yes, Lord, you're powerful. Your word is alive. It's living. It's sharper than any two-edged sword.

14
00:03:48.000 --> 00:04:10.000
And God, we know that your prophetic words, the utterances from heaven, God, can bring life and breakthrough supernaturally. And that's what we're asking for tonight. God, we're just your vessels doing our best to hear what your spirit is saying, but help us to hear clearly and release it the way that you designed it. So we just thank you in advance for all that you're going to accomplish, Lord. In Jesus name. Amen.

15
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:39.000
Amen. Hey, Kemi. Hey, Shelly. I'll go ahead and pin you all here in just a minute. I'm going to go ahead and launch a couple things very quickly. And then as soon as I pass it to the team, I'll work on pinning some of the other team members. And so I always just love how intentional God is and the way that he sets some things up. I'm going to release two words now. I do have several other words that also tie into these initial words, but I'm just excited to see where else God takes it with the other team members.

16
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:59.000
This is not something we get together and plan in advance. We just hear and do our best and bring that to you all. And it's just always exciting and fun to see that unfold. And so the first thing tonight that I saw this afternoon as I was praying is I saw like a wheel turning like almost like a clock, but it wasn't a clock.

17
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.780
the Lord what it was. And it was, it was like, I know this

18
00:05:03.780 --> 00:05:06.620
might sound weird, y'all, but this is what he gave me. It was

19
00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:10.020
like a dial on a gambling machine. And then I saw the

20
00:05:10.020 --> 00:05:14.260
dial stop and I heard jackpot. And so when I was praying and

21
00:05:14.260 --> 00:05:16.460
asking the Lord what he was trying to show us, it has

22
00:05:16.460 --> 00:05:19.700
nothing to do with gambling, y'all. Okay. What I heard him

23
00:05:19.700 --> 00:05:26.380
say was this. There's going to come a time where that which is

24
00:05:26.380 --> 00:05:31.680
unseen, that has been accumulated over time, will then

25
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.180
be released out onto us. For some of you, you've been

26
00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:38.020
praying, you've been praying, you've been praying and you, you

27
00:05:38.020 --> 00:05:41.360
haven't seen God working or you believe he's not working, but he

28
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.760
wants you to know tonight that he has been working. And what is

29
00:05:44.760 --> 00:05:48.640
being accumulated in the heavenly realm, isn't, he's not

30
00:05:48.640 --> 00:05:52.680
withholding it from you. He's waiting for divine timing to

31
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:56.500
release it into our lives at the appointed time for the

32
00:05:56.500 --> 00:06:00.620
appointed purpose. And yeah, it's just this belief that we

33
00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:05.140
have to break out of that, that believes that in us, in us, that

34
00:06:05.140 --> 00:06:07.860
God, that there's scarcity, that there's not enough, whether

35
00:06:07.860 --> 00:06:10.340
that's not enough good men, not enough good women, maybe it's

36
00:06:10.340 --> 00:06:14.160
not enough money, whatever the need is, maybe it's jobs, maybe

37
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.220
it's, you know, houses, I don't know. And it's more than that.

38
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:22.140
Some of us need peace, right? Some of us need grace. We need

39
00:06:22.140 --> 00:06:25.000
that ability to overcome struggles and addictions and

40
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:28.120
things that have held us back for many, many years. And God is

41
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.280
saying that all the things that we've been doing, all the things

42
00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:35.640
that we've been partnering with him, it's all working together.

43
00:06:35.640 --> 00:06:39.840
He's using it all. He's working it all together for good to save

44
00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:43.840
many people alive from Genesis 5020 is that scripture. And then

45
00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:48.080
I heard the word Medina. Y'all I'm originally from Ohio. So I

46
00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:52.080
immediately thought of Medina, Ohio. But then I heard the Lord

47
00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:55.660
say, that's not what I'm saying. And this is what he revealed to

48
00:06:55.660 --> 00:06:59.500
me as I prayed into this and did a little research on just, you

49
00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:03.380
know, just the origin of the city of Medina in historic like

50
00:07:03.380 --> 00:07:08.100
historically, and this is what I found. Medina can mean a place

51
00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:14.580
of refuge and safety, somewhere that people flee to not from the

52
00:07:14.580 --> 00:07:18.900
historical Medina was a haven, like a safe haven for a

53
00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:23.000
persecuted community. So the name gets associated with

54
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:28.320
sanctuary, and God providing shelter. I believe God is saying

55
00:07:28.320 --> 00:07:31.760
that last year single is that place where people the singles

56
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.980
and people that have been kind of pushed aside by the church are

57
00:07:34.980 --> 00:07:38.700
told that we have to sit and wait, you know, for that Boaz to

58
00:07:38.700 --> 00:07:41.560
come and all these things that are beautiful scriptures and

59
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.400
words, but they get twisted in a way that really can bring

60
00:07:45.400 --> 00:07:48.520
bondage to so many people. And God is saying, I've created a

61
00:07:48.520 --> 00:07:52.380
safe haven for you a place of refuge, where people can flee

62
00:07:52.380 --> 00:07:56.820
to not from. And it is a place where God's presence dwells and

63
00:07:56.820 --> 00:08:00.220
people are drawn together. And man, that just felt like a

64
00:08:00.220 --> 00:08:03.460
confirmation for me. For those of you that don't know my story.

65
00:08:03.460 --> 00:08:06.340
I came through this movement. I'm a success story from this

66
00:08:06.340 --> 00:08:09.940
movement. I've been married in September 4 will be four years.

67
00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:16.500
And still, even as a coach, it has been a safe haven for me.

68
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.480
And so I'm praying for those of you that maybe you're still

69
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:24.240
trying to figure out where you fit. Remember that Psalm 68, six

70
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:29.280
says this, God places the solitary, the lonely and family.

71
00:08:29.640 --> 00:08:34.840
But y'all, it's a heart shift first. It's a heart shift first,

72
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:40.480
God does it, but we also have to get the revelation that God has

73
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.880
placed us somewhere and then have the capacity to receive

74
00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:47.180
what he's placed us in and the people he's placed us around.

75
00:08:47.380 --> 00:08:50.500
Some of you man, God loves you so much that he's saying

76
00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:55.580
tonight, I've drawn you to a place that is safe. It's time to

77
00:08:55.580 --> 00:09:00.080
let the gates down. This is a safe haven, it's time to let the

78
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:05.020
gates down. God's presence is here. And he's drawn people

79
00:09:05.020 --> 00:09:09.320
together. We're here to help each other. The last word I'm

80
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.940
going to release it goes with this as well. And then I'm going

81
00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:15.000
to open it up to the team. I'm kind of bouncing around, but

82
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:21.040
there's a theme in these three words. I saw kids leaping one

83
00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:25.600
over the other, like the game leapfrog. I haven't played it in

84
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:29.580
years, kind of remembered the rules, but looked it up. And

85
00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:31.920
here are some things that God was speaking to me through this

86
00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:35.280
very simple game. I know last month, I think we really honed

87
00:09:35.280 --> 00:09:37.640
in on you know, that child likeness. I think there's an

88
00:09:37.640 --> 00:09:40.920
element of that as well. Some of you are really still struggling

89
00:09:40.940 --> 00:09:46.660
to break out of these obstacles and places of imprisonment. And

90
00:09:46.660 --> 00:09:50.700
God is saying, practice being childlike, practice playing,

91
00:09:50.700 --> 00:09:54.300
practice having fun. But there's a deeper word in this as well.

92
00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:59.420
In leapfrog, what happens is one person must first kneel down.

93
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.560
They stoop down, and then the next player runs and then jumps and vaults over that person,

94
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.200
clearing that person entirely if they're doing the game really well.

95
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:18.480
And then it begins kind of that person in the back, same thing again. But after you go,

96
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:23.040
what happens? You actually end up being the person in the front that's stooped down. So

97
00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:28.320
if there's only two of you, you kind of do that leapfrog over each other. And as I prayed,

98
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.840
this is what God was saying. It's cooperative. It's not competitive.

99
00:10:35.520 --> 00:10:41.680
So often in this community, whether we want to or not, let's just be honest. When someone else

100
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:49.760
has their blessing happen, sometimes for some of us, we're like, why does it never happen for me?

101
00:10:49.760 --> 00:10:55.120
And we want to be happy. And we're trying to be happy. But we're struggling. And one of the

102
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:59.360
things, the best thing you can do if that's you is get real honest with God, because it's not

103
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:04.720
about competition. It's about cooperation. What we make happen for other people, God will make

104
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:10.240
happen for us. When we bless other people, and get past that belief that it's not going to happen for

105
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:16.320
us, or we're jealous of their blessing, God will make those things happen for us as well. And so

106
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.080
if that is something you've been struggling with, I really want to encourage you to really humble

107
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:27.120
yourself and ask God to help you heal so that you can genuinely... Y'all, I know what it's like.

108
00:11:27.760 --> 00:11:32.880
I see people getting pregnant left and right. We have three people pregnant in our church right now.

109
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:42.800
I know how this feels. But if we partner with the lies and not truly partnering with the blessing

110
00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:48.640
and blessing them from the inside out, man, we lose out on something God's trying to give us.

111
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:57.120
So we rise by someone else lowering themselves. Someone else rises by us lowering ourselves.

112
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.520
But y'all, there's trust in both directions as well. And so the Father is asking you to trust

113
00:12:03.520 --> 00:12:11.360
Him. Will you trust Him to advance your life, to accelerate things back to that original Word,

114
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.400
the things that have been accumulating up in the heavenly realms, that He's going to pour out a

115
00:12:16.560 --> 00:12:24.640
blessing on you which you cannot contain it and do season? God sees you. He hasn't forgotten you.

116
00:12:25.520 --> 00:12:31.520
And He's bringing friends and camaraderie around you. A word I release even Thursday night during

117
00:12:31.520 --> 00:12:36.880
a heartwork session, I've talked about it in the phase one, is that God has been showing me over

118
00:12:36.880 --> 00:12:42.240
and over, we aren't a line from the beginning to the end. We're a line shoulder to shoulder next

119
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:46.800
to each other. My victories bring victory for other people. Your victory brings victory for

120
00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:54.560
other people. We win. We win, you all. But if you don't believe that yet, God wants to help you get

121
00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:58.880
there a little bit more tonight. All right, I'm going to open it up to the team. And just if

122
00:12:58.880 --> 00:13:03.040
there's anyone that has something, it can go in alignment with this. It can be totally different

123
00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:06.640
if God has shown you something in a different direction as well.

124
00:13:06.640 --> 00:13:12.160
Yeah, I do have something, Bethany. Thank you. That was so powerful. As you shared in the

125
00:13:12.160 --> 00:13:20.320
beginning, you were giving some guidelines in order to encourage the robustness and the power

126
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:26.640
of this time together. And so as you were giving those guidelines, I thought about the word to

127
00:13:26.640 --> 00:13:34.160
soften, to soften our hearts, to soften our gaze in order to receive. And then I thought about the

128
00:13:34.160 --> 00:13:42.320
psalmist and different things. Even the psalms have been put into songs. And so the psalmist

129
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:51.280
says, when I gaze into the night sky and see the works of your fingers, the sun and the moon

130
00:13:51.280 --> 00:14:00.240
suspended in space, oh, what is man that you are mindful of him. And so thinking about the word

131
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:08.880
gaze, that we look up to the sky, even in the dark, and we gaze, it's a soft gaze,

132
00:14:09.680 --> 00:14:16.320
acknowledging the one who created us. And so when we soften our hearts and we soften our gaze,

133
00:14:16.880 --> 00:14:23.440
there is an opportunity to receive, as opposed to resisting and doing what we want, because

134
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:29.760
we're so used to the familia and we're comfortable with the familia. But God is saying, you've walked

135
00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:36.640
too hard. You've been doing things, including myself, we've been doing things in our own

136
00:14:36.640 --> 00:14:45.440
strength. But God says, you just be and soften your gaze and see the miracles, the possibilities,

137
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:52.320
the numerous stars, the abundance. And so when we soften our gaze, I think about even the seed

138
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:59.760
that is planted. Seeds planted today become flowers tomorrow. And the seeds just be.

139
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.880
When the seeds are planted, they die.

140
00:15:02.880 --> 00:15:05.080
Things are happening naturally.

141
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:09.920
They are not forcing their ways to germinate,

142
00:15:09.920 --> 00:15:13.520
but they're going with the flow, the flow of nature.

143
00:15:13.520 --> 00:15:15.920
And God is saying, I have called you out,

144
00:15:15.920 --> 00:15:19.080
your way of being to flow.

145
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:23.280
And so when the seed is planted and it begins to germinate

146
00:15:23.280 --> 00:15:26.600
and it becomes the flower for tomorrow,

147
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:33.000
the flower flourishes and blooms in light of the sun.

148
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.640
And so I think about the word not just the S-U-N,

149
00:15:37.640 --> 00:15:43.720
but the S-O-N, that we blossom in light of the sun.

150
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.840
And so it's a way, my way of being,

151
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.680
when I gaze into the night sky, when I be,

152
00:15:52.680 --> 00:15:57.160
and then I get to see more of the supernatural.

153
00:15:57.160 --> 00:16:01.560
Though, yes, I see the abundance of the stars,

154
00:16:01.560 --> 00:16:07.240
but God is saying, there is more even beyond those stars.

155
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.960
There is that supernatural that we don't see.

156
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.200
And we begin to experience more of him.

157
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:16.560
As Jackie was sharing yesterday, Elisha

158
00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:19.120
saying, open the eyes of my prophet,

159
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.280
because these things are already,

160
00:16:21.280 --> 00:16:23.040
they were already there.

161
00:16:23.040 --> 00:16:25.000
The protection is already there.

162
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.240
The abundance is already there.

163
00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:31.200
So we get to soften our gaze to be present so that we

164
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:36.280
can experience the abundance that God is saying,

165
00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:41.320
it's time to unleash, to unravel, to reveal.

166
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:47.320
Thank you, God, for this moment to soften our gaze

167
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:53.520
and look up to you, where our joy and our help comes from.

168
00:16:53.520 --> 00:16:56.680
And we find peace and rest.

169
00:16:56.680 --> 00:17:00.080
And the stress level, the cortisol,

170
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.400
it comes down because our trust and our hope

171
00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:05.319
is in you all day long.

172
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:08.960
And we choose to surrender this to you.

173
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.800
In Jesus' name, amen.

174
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.800
Amen, Kemi.

175
00:17:14.800 --> 00:17:15.599
Thank you so much.

176
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:17.440
That was beautiful.

177
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.079
And Bethany, you're not going to believe this,

178
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:20.560
but God gave me two words.

179
00:17:20.560 --> 00:17:24.000
And one of the words that he gave me was leap of faith.

180
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:25.040
Can you believe that?

181
00:17:25.040 --> 00:17:26.280
Leap of faith.

182
00:17:26.280 --> 00:17:28.880
And when I heard that word, like immediately,

183
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.960
I had this image in my mind of a movie

184
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.440
that actually Jackie mentioned a couple of weeks

185
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.920
ago on Supernatural Saturday, which is Indiana Jones.

186
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:40.760
So if you're familiar with that movie,

187
00:17:40.760 --> 00:17:42.560
I haven't seen that movie in years and years.

188
00:17:42.560 --> 00:17:46.920
But this is specifically Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

189
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.920
And this is where for every movie, he's on a mission.

190
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:52.920
He's looking for some kind of artifact.

191
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.880
And in this movie, he is looking for the Holy Grail.

192
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:57.480
And in the movie, and this is a myth.

193
00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:58.880
This is not biblical.

194
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:00.440
But in the movie, the Holy Grail is

195
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.000
supposed to represent the cup that Jesus

196
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.400
drank from in the Last Supper before he was crucified.

197
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:09.280
And then whoever drinks from that cup

198
00:18:09.280 --> 00:18:10.400
will get eternal life.

199
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.240
But we know that Jesus paid the price for us.

200
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.680
So we already have eternal life through Jesus.

201
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:16.640
Amen?

202
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:18.560
So there's this part of the movie.

203
00:18:18.560 --> 00:18:20.920
He needs to go through, like get through different challenges

204
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:25.160
so he can get to where this cup is hidden.

205
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.080
And he gets to a point where he's, you know,

206
00:18:27.080 --> 00:18:28.200
this is inside a mountain.

207
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.320
And he's at the mountain.

208
00:18:29.320 --> 00:18:31.880
And he gets to a point where it's,

209
00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:33.240
he's at the edge of the mountain.

210
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.360
And he needs to get to the other side.

211
00:18:35.360 --> 00:18:37.200
But there's a huge gap.

212
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:38.880
There's like an abyss.

213
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.880
And the challenge is he needs to take a leap of faith.

214
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.840
He needs to trust God that God is going to get him

215
00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:47.560
to the other side of the mountain.

216
00:18:47.560 --> 00:18:48.640
So it's really cool.

217
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:50.360
Like when you see like the movie,

218
00:18:50.360 --> 00:18:52.640
they really focus on his feet.

219
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:54.600
So he takes off the first foot.

220
00:18:54.600 --> 00:18:57.120
And then as soon as the second foot comes off the mountain,

221
00:18:57.120 --> 00:18:58.720
I mean, and there's nothing, right?

222
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:00.680
The second foot comes off the mountain.

223
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:03.400
Then you see a bridge underneath come,

224
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:05.760
like it appears underneath his feet.

225
00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:08.400
So that means that bridge was there the whole time.

226
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.680
He just couldn't see it with his physical eyes, right?

227
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:12.960
He had to believe in faith.

228
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:15.080
And what the Lord is telling us today

229
00:19:15.080 --> 00:19:17.440
is that he is calling us,

230
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:21.280
he's challenging us to take a leap of faith,

231
00:19:21.280 --> 00:19:25.040
to start making decisions,

232
00:19:25.040 --> 00:19:28.920
taking steps towards these things that we're praying for.

233
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:31.160
And as soon as we take the steps,

234
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:34.400
then the path will be made clear.

235
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.040
Then the pieces will come together

236
00:19:37.040 --> 00:19:38.520
and we will see our path clear.

237
00:19:38.520 --> 00:19:41.080
You know, a lot of times when we're praying for something,

238
00:19:41.080 --> 00:19:43.600
we're asking God to give us signs, to give us a word,

239
00:19:43.600 --> 00:19:44.840
and he will do that.

240
00:19:44.840 --> 00:19:46.400
But I really believe that sometimes

241
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:47.920
he wants to challenge us, right?

242
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.760
He was like, do you really believe me?

243
00:19:49.760 --> 00:19:50.880
Do you really trust me?

244
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.360
Do you really believe all these prayers

245
00:19:52.360 --> 00:19:53.640
that you're saying to me?

246
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:55.800
Then show me, you'll take the step first

247
00:19:55.800 --> 00:19:57.040
and I will bless it.

248
00:19:57.040 --> 00:19:59.120
And then the path will become clear.

249
00:19:59.120 --> 00:19:59.960
Amen.

250
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.320
The first word, the second word that I got was actually a question.

251
00:20:05.080 --> 00:20:07.480
So I was praying about this night and the Lord asked me a question.

252
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:09.720
He said, what do you have in your hand?

253
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:14.240
And that's the question that he wants me to ask tonight to all of you.

254
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:15.800
What do you have in your hand?

255
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:17.480
So just kind of think about that.

256
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:22.280
And he started to speak to me about Moses and specifically his staff.

257
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:25.440
And the Lord said, I use his staff.

258
00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:28.760
I use Moses' staff to accomplish three major things.

259
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:34.280
The first one, I use this staff to help Moses discover his purpose.

260
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:35.640
That was the first thing.

261
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:39.320
And if you read the story of Moses back in Exodus, the book of Exodus,

262
00:20:39.520 --> 00:20:42.960
you can also read the dialogue and Moses used to speak to God, right?

263
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:46.120
So the first time that Moses heard the voice of God was through that

264
00:20:46.120 --> 00:20:47.520
burning bush in the wilderness.

265
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:49.200
And the Lord is speaking to him.

266
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.880
And basically he's telling him, Hey, I'm going to use you.

267
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.120
You know, you're going to take this staff that I put you in, that I put in your

268
00:20:56.120 --> 00:21:01.400
hands, and I'm going to show my signs and wonders so that I can prove to the

269
00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:03.880
people of Egypt that I am the only God.

270
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:05.200
I am the one true God.

271
00:21:05.520 --> 00:21:08.160
So at that moment, he found his identity.

272
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.560
He discovered what his purpose was.

273
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:11.040
Amen.

274
00:21:11.320 --> 00:21:13.920
Cause I'm sure at that time he was pretty confused, right?

275
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:17.760
And if you're not familiar with it, the story, Moses was born a Hebrew,

276
00:21:17.760 --> 00:21:19.560
but he was raised as an Egyptian.

277
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:21.320
He was raised as a prince of Egypt.

278
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.480
So, excuse me, the second thing that he accomplished, the first thing,

279
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.560
discover his purpose.

280
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:31.600
The second thing, the staff was used to defeat the enemy, right?

281
00:21:31.600 --> 00:21:33.440
So God performed those signs and wonders.

282
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:38.760
He sent all the plagues until Pharaoh released God's people and set them free.

283
00:21:39.280 --> 00:21:42.120
And number three was deliver God's people.

284
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:44.280
So number one, discover his purpose.

285
00:21:44.280 --> 00:21:45.600
Number two, defeat the enemy.

286
00:21:45.600 --> 00:21:47.320
Number three, deliver God's people.

287
00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:52.000
And what God's telling us tonight is that he's going to use whatever he has placed in

288
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:52.760
our hands.

289
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:54.680
And it might not be a physical thing.

290
00:21:55.080 --> 00:22:02.400
Everything about us, he's going to use our culture, our background, your profession,

291
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.960
your occupation, your skills, your talents.

292
00:22:05.280 --> 00:22:07.000
Stop looking outside.

293
00:22:07.560 --> 00:22:12.120
Stop looking outside for your resources and your answers to come.

294
00:22:12.120 --> 00:22:15.680
The Lord says, I will use everything that I have put in you.

295
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:23.120
I have already equipped you and empowered you to perform, to fulfill my purposes

296
00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:23.680
through you.

297
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:24.720
Amen.

298
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:33.880
And he says, going back to the staff, you know, the staff was, it was an ordinary

299
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:34.640
thing, right?

300
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:37.440
It was, it was like made of a piece of wood.

301
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.600
The Bible doesn't specify it, but it's believed that it was just a piece of wood.

302
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:45.840
So what the Lord says, that what looks ordinary or insignificant in your hands, I

303
00:22:45.840 --> 00:22:51.480
will, I will, I will, I will, I will teach you how to create extraordinary things.

304
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:56.240
So I will make the extraordinary out of ordinary things.

305
00:22:56.560 --> 00:23:00.200
So do not overlook the simple things, the small things.

306
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:02.520
The Bible says, do not spy small beginnings.

307
00:23:02.800 --> 00:23:03.200
Amen.

308
00:23:03.320 --> 00:23:05.360
God is going to use everything that you have.

309
00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:07.000
He's going to use your sphere of influence.

310
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:09.360
He's going to use the languages that you speak.

311
00:23:09.360 --> 00:23:12.040
If you speak different languages, it's the same with Moses.

312
00:23:12.280 --> 00:23:17.160
Moses was the only person who could accomplish that task because basically he

313
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.560
had two nationalities, right?

314
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.200
He was a Hebrew, he was an Egyptian, and he was the only one who had access to the

315
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:24.880
palace, who had access to the Pharaoh.

316
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.680
That's why he could go deliver God's message to his people.

317
00:23:27.760 --> 00:23:28.160
Amen.

318
00:23:28.600 --> 00:23:32.360
And this is what the verse that the Lord gave me for this.

319
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:37.040
And it's Hebrews chapter 13, verses 20 through 21.

320
00:23:37.040 --> 00:23:41.040
And it says, now may the God of peace, who through the blood of eternal covenant

321
00:23:41.040 --> 00:23:45.920
brought back from the dead, our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, equip

322
00:23:46.080 --> 00:23:48.720
you with everything good for doing his will.

323
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:54.080
And may he work in us what is pleasing to him through Jesus Christ, to whom the glory

324
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:55.560
forever and ever.

325
00:23:55.840 --> 00:23:56.360
Amen.

326
00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:11.800
So earlier today, as I was praying, I was in my car actually praying and I looked up

327
00:24:11.800 --> 00:24:14.840
and I saw that a Nissan Pathfinder right in front of me.

328
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:20.120
And across the back of the car, it had in big letters Pathfinder.

329
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:25.800
And it really that word really got highlighted to me.

330
00:24:26.080 --> 00:24:32.640
I then saw I was I saw some people and they were walking around with a compass in

331
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:39.000
their hands. And they to me looked like they were just trying to find direction.

332
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:43.960
The arrow of the compass was pointing outward as they walked around.

333
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:51.240
And I heard the Lord say, you are a Pathfinder and God is your compass.

334
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:57.200
What's interesting about a compass is that unlike a map, it shows you a map shows you

335
00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:59.080
the entire layout.

336
00:24:59.280 --> 00:25:00.040
But a compass.

337
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:09.760
It shows you that the next step and so similar to a compass showing us our next step, God shows us our next step, too.

338
00:25:10.080 --> 00:25:25.520
And he I felt that the Lord was saying that he's requiring us to have personal trust and faith in him and not look around at anybody else's next step to just look around at your next step and to trust in him to take that next step.

339
00:25:25.520 --> 00:25:30.160
So he could take us further because he's not going to show you the whole picture.

340
00:25:30.280 --> 00:25:31.640
He doesn't usually do that.

341
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:33.360
He uses the next step.

342
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:39.560
The next word that I wanted to share is pretty much in line with what Jennifer was talking about.

343
00:25:40.320 --> 00:25:53.040
I was I was brought to the book of Exodus where God parted the Red Sea and by telling Moses to stretch out his hand and raise his staff over the water to divide the sea.

344
00:25:53.480 --> 00:26:04.720
And then I was taken to the book of Joshua where God parted the Jordan River and the priest carrying the Ark of the Covenant walked right up to the edge of the rushing water and stepped in.

345
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:13.640
And I heard the Lord say, I sensed I sensed him say, my instructions to each one of you is as unique as your fingerprints.

346
00:26:14.120 --> 00:26:21.840
And just like I asked Moses to to raise his staff over the water and divide, you know, the sea.

347
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:34.720
And I asked Joshua to do that to the Ark of the Covenant, the priest to go and place their toes or their feet right in the water in the Jordan River.

348
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:36.600
I'm asking each one of you.

349
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:39.320
I'm giving you unique instructions.

350
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:45.960
And once you follow your unique instructions, there's nothing too hard for him to do the breakthrough.

351
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:47.800
There's nothing too hard for him.

352
00:26:48.040 --> 00:26:56.000
But I sense that a lot of times we look at how things the breakthrough came for somebody else in a certain way.

353
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:57.320
And we focus on that.

354
00:26:57.360 --> 00:26:58.400
Well, that wasn't me.

355
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:00.720
That didn't come through for me in that way.

356
00:27:01.080 --> 00:27:02.600
And so we compare.

357
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:16.680
And God wants us to know that the same way that he did that, those breakthroughs back then, that he will do them the same way this now, but that, you know, they are unique.

358
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:18.960
The instructions he's going to give you are unique to you.

359
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:32.080
And so he wants us to just be aware of that and to really pay attention to what he's talking to us to do next, instead of looking around at others.

360
00:27:32.080 --> 00:27:36.440
And focusing on what they have been told to do next.

361
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:38.080
Comparing.

362
00:27:40.280 --> 00:27:41.560
I can jump in on that.

363
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:52.440
So the words of the Lord gave me was a little different, but I guess you could say it would almost on a timeline go before you mean is in a way like before the step.

364
00:27:52.920 --> 00:28:02.360
So when I was on my way to church this morning, the Lord gave me this scripture out of Galatians, don't return yourselves again to a yoke of slavery.

365
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:16.280
And I realized, like, I have been struggling for the past two weeks with wondering how come I wasn't feeling afraid of something that I usually feel afraid of.

366
00:28:16.560 --> 00:28:21.080
So I kept thinking, like, forgive me if I cry, but there must be something wrong.

367
00:28:21.080 --> 00:28:22.360
I must be missing something.

368
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.120
How come I'm not afraid of this?

369
00:28:24.520 --> 00:28:39.640
And it's like I was so unfamiliar with being free and so familiar with being fearful that it's like I was stirring up fear in myself just to stir up fear in myself to return to what was familiar.

370
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:43.280
And it's like I almost didn't realize that that's what I was doing.

371
00:28:43.280 --> 00:28:50.640
But on the way to church this morning, the Lord said to me, don't return yourself again to a yoke of slavery.

372
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:57.480
And so I just want to say, you know, when I was married the first time, my first husband had a lot of good qualities about him.

373
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:05.480
But something that that happened all the time was, you know, he grew up in a very, very chaotic environment.

374
00:29:05.520 --> 00:29:06.160
Very.

375
00:29:06.560 --> 00:29:16.520
And so it's like when our life would be peaceful and what I would have called normal, he always had to stir up chaos.

376
00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:23.920
And I remember one time a therapist explaining to me that it's because that's what he was familiar with.

377
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:27.880
So peace and like a normalcy were uncomfortable for him.

378
00:29:28.120 --> 00:29:39.240
So it's like he was subconsciously constantly stirring up chaos when the road would get too smooth, when things would be too peaceful, because that was his familiar place.

379
00:29:39.280 --> 00:29:42.400
He was returning again to a yoke of slavery.

380
00:29:42.560 --> 00:29:48.760
And remember the Israelites, when they were on the way to the promised land, they grumbled and complained to return to Egypt.

381
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:51.920
And we always like want to throw a stone at the Israelites.

382
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:53.880
But but don't we do the same thing?

383
00:29:54.280 --> 00:30:00.040
You know, I'm sure they didn't think to themselves, you know, we just want to skip out completely on the promised land and we don't want our.

384
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.360
destiny. I don't think it was that black and white, I think it was that it was unfamiliar

385
00:30:05.360 --> 00:30:12.880
where they were. And even though Egypt was literally slavery for them, there was a familiarity

386
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:18.800
there, and where they were familiar, they were comfortable. So they were literally willing to

387
00:30:18.800 --> 00:30:24.640
forfeit their destiny, so to speak, to return to the comfortable place, but I'm sure they didn't

388
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:32.320
necessarily see it like that. So I felt like the Lord said, like, don't return yourself, like you,

389
00:30:32.320 --> 00:30:39.360
don't return yourself again to a yoke of slavery. And I realized, you know, like,

390
00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:47.120
Egypt has no place in us. God did not create, like, create us for Egypt to have a place in us,

391
00:30:47.120 --> 00:30:54.800
and we have no place in Egypt. It's not our portion, and it's not our cup. God has a plan

392
00:30:54.800 --> 00:31:01.040
for our future. He has a spouse for us. He has a family for us. He has people for us to touch.

393
00:31:01.040 --> 00:31:08.560
He has careers for people to step into. He has a purpose and a plan. Do not return yourselves again

394
00:31:08.560 --> 00:31:14.640
to a yoke of slavery. And I found myself at the end of my time with the Lord this morning on the

395
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:21.440
way to church about this. I heard myself pray for myself, and I want to pray for you all the same

396
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:29.760
thing, that, Lord, you would heal the places in my heart, in our hearts, that were long devastated.

397
00:31:29.760 --> 00:31:34.480
I'm not speaking to, like, the little tiny things that have happened, but the places

398
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:43.120
that were long devastated. You know, sometimes you can have a wound or a belief or a familiar routine,

399
00:31:43.120 --> 00:31:49.760
you know, a place of familiarity, like fear, so deeply rooted in yourself, and that you just

400
00:31:49.760 --> 00:31:55.680
keep wanting to return there. And so, Lord, I just ask that you would heal those places in our hearts

401
00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.800
that have been long devastated, that have been rooted there. And I speak to those places,

402
00:32:00.800 --> 00:32:07.360
and I say every tree that my Heavenly Father, that our Heavenly Father has not planted,

403
00:32:07.360 --> 00:32:14.160
be rooted up in Jesus' name, and release us in Jesus' name. And, Lord, help us to come out of

404
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:21.280
agreement with the familiarity of those places, out of agreement with the comfort of those places,

405
00:32:21.280 --> 00:32:27.760
and know that you gave an all-sufficient sacrifice for me, for everyone on this call,

406
00:32:27.760 --> 00:32:34.080
to be able to walk on, to walk forward, knowing that you go with us into unfamiliar places,

407
00:32:34.080 --> 00:32:38.880
that you have a good plan for us, a good plan for a future and a hope.

408
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:45.440
Help us, help us, grace us, not to return again to a yoke of slavery,

409
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:49.760
but to walk on into something new. In Jesus' name, amen.

410
00:32:49.760 --> 00:33:04.720
Man, it's bringing some fire, ladies. I love it. This is so good. Candy,

411
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:09.520
I also want to make sure you know, like I see you, so if you have something, just get ready,

412
00:33:09.520 --> 00:33:13.520
because I'm going to share a couple things, and then I'll open it back up to the team.

413
00:33:13.520 --> 00:33:19.920
And, Candy, if you have something, you can go first. So, yeah, everyone, let's just receive

414
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:24.880
that. I feel like let's not move past that too fast. As Shelly was releasing that, and just the

415
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:29.120
other words, I just feel like God is kind of giving us some building blocks tonight, as we allow and

416
00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:35.440
bring it all together. There's so much that can be received for revelation of how to walk into,

417
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:42.720
not just like getting freedom in the moment, but living it out, you know, living out freedom,

418
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:48.080
and really walking into the wholeness and the fullness of everything God intended for us.

419
00:33:48.080 --> 00:33:53.680
But as She was saying that, right towards the end, and She was talking again about that,

420
00:33:53.680 --> 00:34:00.160
like not going back to the place of bondage, and coming out of that familiarity, I can't say it

421
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:05.680
right, y'all. I literally saw someone starting to run, and shackles just starting to fall off of

422
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:11.679
them. And so, I just want to speak that over you. This is what happens. We have to start going. You

423
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:19.040
know, sometimes we get stuck in like the idea of, I'm stuck. I'm overwhelmed. This is hard. And then

424
00:34:19.040 --> 00:34:22.800
where we partner with that stuff, it doesn't mean that we don't feel those things, but you all, we

425
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:29.040
cannot stay in those places. When Shelly said, this is not our portion. This is not our cup.

426
00:34:29.040 --> 00:34:37.920
Egypt is not your cup. Stock is not your cup. The obstacles come. Yes, the Bible says that literally

427
00:34:39.040 --> 00:34:45.920
the enemy will resist us. He will try to hinder us. But who do we focus on? We focus on the maker

428
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:52.000
of heaven and earth. Our eyes are set on Him, the one where our help comes from. He lifts us out of

429
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:57.680
the muck and the mire, and He sets our feet upon the rock. The rock is Him. He's a steady place.

430
00:34:57.680 --> 00:34:59.920
We can trust Him. He's not leaving.

431
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.960
us. He's not forsaking us. He never abandoned us. But if we believe those things, we got to

432
00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:09.920
get back to the heart work. We got to get back to the root of where did this come from, that we

433
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:16.000
believe that we're abandoned in the middle of this thing, that Egypt is our lot. Whatever that lie is,

434
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:22.640
God is asking us to partner with Him tonight. And so one of the other things I saw as I was praying

435
00:35:22.640 --> 00:35:27.360
is I literally saw God like almost like He reached His hand up and He just started swirling it.

436
00:35:28.080 --> 00:35:32.640
And then immediately, and y'all, I just, I see things and I don't always, I'm like, okay, what

437
00:35:32.640 --> 00:35:36.960
does that mean? And then I just start asking good questions. God, what are you trying to say?

438
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:43.200
Because then immediately after that, after the upward motion, I saw, and I won't even say I know

439
00:35:43.200 --> 00:35:49.600
it was God's hand, I just saw a hand in a cotton candy machine swirling, you know, to make cotton

440
00:35:49.600 --> 00:35:56.080
candy. And as I've prayed into it, this is just what it comes back to that first word, things that

441
00:35:56.400 --> 00:36:02.320
are accumulated, that get built up. Think about cotton candy. It's something very simple. Sugar,

442
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:07.280
all these little tiny particles, and some of the other stuff. I've never made cotton candy, y'all.

443
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:12.640
So just from the little things, but it's put in there. And then out of what looks like nothing

444
00:36:13.280 --> 00:36:19.280
comes something. You know, there's this thing that is hidden that's being made manifest.

445
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:23.200
You know, we can't see God swirling His hand up in the heavenly realm,

446
00:36:24.080 --> 00:36:30.720
but that doesn't mean He's not doing it. God is moving on our behalf all the time. Jesus is

447
00:36:30.720 --> 00:36:36.400
sitting at the right hand of the Father even right now, interceding for all of us. He knows you by

448
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:43.920
name. He knows you by name. Some of y'all really need to receive that. Maria, Kay, He knows you by

449
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:53.440
name. He sees you. Angela Everett, the times you're crying and you're just like, God, I don't

450
00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:58.000
understand. Why is it so hard? And there's probably others on here, but God is just highlighting a

451
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:02.800
couple people to me. And He's saying, Daughter, I see you. Don't give up. Don't grow weary in

452
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:09.840
well-doing, for in due season you will reap if you don't faint. He is for us. So who can be against

453
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:18.880
us? Nothing can win when God is on our side. Heaven is speaking, and I pray and I hope that

454
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:25.600
you continue to receive what the Father is saying. As I was just contemplating this whole Habakkuk,

455
00:37:25.600 --> 00:37:31.360
or excuse me, stirring and stirring, I came to Habakkuk 1.5. Now, y'all, I'm not just going to

456
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:35.920
give you the fluff scripture, okay? I'm going to give that to you. And what I mean by that, this is

457
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:41.840
the one where we love, we love to feel like we win, right? It says this, I will work a work in

458
00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:48.640
your days which you will not believe. This is about a swift. It's a work that outpaces expectation,

459
00:37:48.640 --> 00:37:52.960
but y'all, you got to look at the whole, you got to look at the whole context.

460
00:37:54.320 --> 00:38:00.080
And when you do, the word right before it was actually a hard word.

461
00:38:00.240 --> 00:38:06.400
It was a full word, full of pregnancy, full of potential, but it was a hard word. And God

462
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:11.200
was, wasn't saying that they wouldn't be triumphant, but he did say they would encounter

463
00:38:11.200 --> 00:38:20.560
hard things. But in Habakkuk 1.5, it says, I will work a work in your days that which you will not

464
00:38:20.560 --> 00:38:27.920
believe. God is asking us tonight to have faith, to continue to trust in his movement,

465
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:34.400
to continue to trust in his movement, even when what he's doing is bewildering, if you will,

466
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:40.480
when it doesn't make sense to us, because we have a human mind. We do our best to understand the

467
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:46.400
things of heaven. You know, God calls us to be people that we would bring heaven here on earth

468
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:53.280
through us. We do our best again, comprehend it, understand it. But even our best, we can only

469
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:59.120
comprehend a little inkling of what is really happening in the spirit realm and the way that

470
00:38:59.120 --> 00:39:04.160
God is moving and what he's doing and how he goes all throughout our timeline and heals and redeems

471
00:39:04.160 --> 00:39:10.800
and restores. He builds up all the broken and fallen places, you all. Two more things real

472
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:16.400
quick, and then I'm going to open it back up to the team. I saw a man spotting another man lift,

473
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:21.040
lifting weights like a barbell, and there were weights on the barbell. I did not see the man

474
00:39:21.040 --> 00:39:26.320
that was lifting the weights suffering, but what I saw was a man clearly standing there,

475
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:33.840
helping him, ready to help him lift the load. God was saying that, hey, this spotter, it's the

476
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:40.800
guardianship. The father is saying tonight, I'm your guardian. I'm your protector. That spotter

477
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:45.920
stands there ready, waiting, attentive. They're typically, hey, you all, if they start to look

478
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:50.480
away and that person with the weights cannot lift them up, they're like, oh, my gosh, oh,

479
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:55.440
my gosh, you know, because that can actually hurt someone. But that is not the vision I saw. I just

480
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:59.920
saw him very attentive. I saw him standing there, ready, ready to lift.

481
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.400
lift the weight that is too heavy for us.

482
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:04.520
So if you have a weight that is on you tonight

483
00:40:04.520 --> 00:40:06.520
that is too heavy for you, or you're

484
00:40:06.520 --> 00:40:10.500
in that position of lifting the weights, y'all, guess what?

485
00:40:10.500 --> 00:40:13.000
Lifting weights makes us stronger.

486
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:16.120
Practicing and building strength over time.

487
00:40:16.120 --> 00:40:18.400
Resistance is how we gain strength.

488
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:22.840
So I don't love to experience warfare and hardship.

489
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:24.000
None of us do.

490
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:24.720
But you know what?

491
00:40:24.720 --> 00:40:26.800
In that, when we give it all to him,

492
00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:29.720
and he works it all together, again, for good,

493
00:40:29.720 --> 00:40:32.000
not only to save us, not only to lead us

494
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:34.960
into the full measure of his plan and purpose for us,

495
00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:38.100
but everybody else around us.

496
00:40:38.100 --> 00:40:40.280
So the weights that you are lifting,

497
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:41.960
that practicing, that resistance,

498
00:40:41.960 --> 00:40:44.960
that building strength, God is standing with you

499
00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:46.480
every step of the way.

500
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:50.920
And then I happened to see Kathy Parsons, her picture

501
00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:53.960
tonight, all of a sudden, she's not even on my screen anymore.

502
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:55.120
So I don't know if she left.

503
00:40:55.720 --> 00:40:58.160
God just kept highlighting to me the steering wheel

504
00:40:58.160 --> 00:41:01.200
from the ship in her picture.

505
00:41:01.200 --> 00:41:05.400
And as I was praying about that, God was saying, hey,

506
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:10.580
it's time to let me, God, be at the helm.

507
00:41:10.580 --> 00:41:12.080
Whoever is at the helm is the one

508
00:41:12.080 --> 00:41:14.240
that sets the direction of the ship.

509
00:41:14.240 --> 00:41:17.560
They are the one that has control over the vessel.

510
00:41:17.560 --> 00:41:24.600
So my question to you tonight is, who is steering your life?

511
00:41:24.600 --> 00:41:26.960
Who's steering your ship?

512
00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:29.160
Proverbs 3, 5 through 6 says, lean not

513
00:41:29.160 --> 00:41:32.220
on your own understanding.

514
00:41:32.220 --> 00:41:33.640
In all of your ways, acknowledge me,

515
00:41:33.640 --> 00:41:36.960
and I will make your path straight.

516
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:39.000
Don't be wise in your own eyes.

517
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:41.480
It goes on.

518
00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:44.440
Are we really willing to, again, go back

519
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:47.960
to that supernatural surrender and surrender it all to him

520
00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:50.880
and allow him, God the Father, Jesus Christ,

521
00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:52.980
and the Holy Spirit, three in one,

522
00:41:52.980 --> 00:41:56.940
to be at the helm of our ship?

523
00:41:56.940 --> 00:42:01.380
God is asking us to surrender, to partner with him in faith,

524
00:42:01.380 --> 00:42:04.300
to walk by faith and not by sight,

525
00:42:04.300 --> 00:42:07.300
to call forth those things that are not as though they

526
00:42:07.300 --> 00:42:11.660
are in Jesus' name.

527
00:42:11.660 --> 00:42:14.300
I'm going to open it back up to the team.

528
00:42:14.300 --> 00:42:16.020
I have a word.

529
00:42:16.020 --> 00:42:17.980
Wow, I love all these words.

530
00:42:17.980 --> 00:42:19.900
I missed the first part, Bethany,

531
00:42:19.900 --> 00:42:23.780
but this last part that y'all shared,

532
00:42:23.780 --> 00:42:26.020
it seems like there's a theme for sure.

533
00:42:26.020 --> 00:42:29.140
And I want to share what I saw, which is diamonds.

534
00:42:29.140 --> 00:42:32.940
And along with what you guys are saying,

535
00:42:32.940 --> 00:42:35.740
the scripture verse is 2 Corinthians 3, 18.

536
00:42:35.740 --> 00:42:39.980
We all with unveiled faces are looking, as in a mirror,

537
00:42:39.980 --> 00:42:41.940
at the glory of the Lord and are being

538
00:42:41.940 --> 00:42:46.220
transformed into the same image from glory to glory.

539
00:42:46.220 --> 00:42:47.140
Wow.

540
00:42:47.140 --> 00:42:51.180
This is from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

541
00:42:51.180 --> 00:42:54.220
So I won't read the whole thing, but the first part that

542
00:42:54.220 --> 00:42:57.740
really caught my eye on this word was created.

543
00:42:57.740 --> 00:43:00.100
We were created to shine.

544
00:43:00.100 --> 00:43:02.820
So even like with the diamond, the diamond

545
00:43:02.820 --> 00:43:07.500
goes through a really, really rough, rough time

546
00:43:07.500 --> 00:43:10.300
to get to where the diamond is.

547
00:43:10.300 --> 00:43:15.940
So I love, I love, I'm just skipping over some of my words

548
00:43:15.940 --> 00:43:18.660
that I wrote down.

549
00:43:18.660 --> 00:43:21.980
The diamond is formed under great pressure,

550
00:43:21.980 --> 00:43:24.740
along with what Bethany's saying,

551
00:43:24.740 --> 00:43:26.620
great pressure and heat.

552
00:43:26.620 --> 00:43:30.780
And when it's found there in the dirt, a film covering it,

553
00:43:30.780 --> 00:43:32.740
it's found in the ground with various types

554
00:43:32.740 --> 00:43:34.580
of dirt and elements.

555
00:43:34.580 --> 00:43:38.020
Naturally, a diamond is rough, not shiny.

556
00:43:38.020 --> 00:43:39.180
Wow.

557
00:43:39.180 --> 00:43:44.580
But what I saw in the beginning was I saw him in us,

558
00:43:44.580 --> 00:43:47.020
because we saw who we were.

559
00:43:47.020 --> 00:43:50.460
So the identity piece, that's what I saw.

560
00:43:50.460 --> 00:43:54.220
I saw his reflection.

561
00:43:54.220 --> 00:43:59.540
As I looked into the diamond, I could see myself

562
00:43:59.540 --> 00:44:01.020
reflecting back.

563
00:44:01.020 --> 00:44:04.020
And I saw him in me and him in you.

564
00:44:04.020 --> 00:44:06.340
And we saw who we were.

565
00:44:06.340 --> 00:44:11.020
And as we saw who we are in Christ, wow.

566
00:44:11.020 --> 00:44:15.340
That is such a theme and such a foundation

567
00:44:15.340 --> 00:44:19.900
in this community of the heart healing and seeing who you are,

568
00:44:19.900 --> 00:44:21.820
seeing how he sees you.

569
00:44:21.820 --> 00:44:24.340
And the other part of this is I love

570
00:44:24.340 --> 00:44:29.420
how he makes beautiful out of the tough situations.

571
00:44:29.420 --> 00:44:35.260
So to finish my word, naturally, the color of a diamond

572
00:44:35.260 --> 00:44:38.740
depends upon which elements are present

573
00:44:38.740 --> 00:44:39.820
when the diamond's formed.

574
00:44:39.860 --> 00:44:41.820
So in the beginning, what I saw in my picture

575
00:44:41.820 --> 00:44:43.100
was I saw white diamonds.

576
00:44:43.100 --> 00:44:44.860
But I also saw red diamonds.

577
00:44:49.180 --> 00:44:50.900
According to these words that I looked up

578
00:44:50.900 --> 00:44:53.260
about the biblical meaning is they

579
00:44:53.260 --> 00:44:55.980
can be white, yellow, brown, chocolate.

580
00:44:55.980 --> 00:44:58.380
Sometimes they have black spots.

581
00:44:58.380 --> 00:45:01.060
Regardless of the coloring.

582
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.320
And the diamond's history, a diamond has the potential to shine brilliantly.

583
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:06.500
Wow.

584
00:45:07.220 --> 00:45:11.820
And the, so, so Lord, I thank you that each and every person in this

585
00:45:11.820 --> 00:45:16.520
community, each and every woman, each and every man that they would, we

586
00:45:16.520 --> 00:45:19.620
would shine and show the light.

587
00:45:20.120 --> 00:45:25.520
Uh, we would see who we are, but as we see who we are, then we shine the light.

588
00:45:25.520 --> 00:45:29.500
No matter what we've been through, you still shine through us.

589
00:45:29.620 --> 00:45:30.120
Wow.

590
00:45:30.300 --> 00:45:32.460
And you get all the glory.

591
00:45:32.900 --> 00:45:34.960
You get all the glory.

592
00:45:35.300 --> 00:45:35.800
Wow.

593
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:40.120
And those rough edges he's been, he's been smoothing out.

594
00:45:40.500 --> 00:45:43.080
He's been, um, loving on us.

595
00:45:43.300 --> 00:45:47.880
And I feel like the love is what is the theme here in my, in my spirit.

596
00:45:48.340 --> 00:45:50.100
Uh, because he loves us so much.

597
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:51.720
He doesn't leave us like that.

598
00:45:52.160 --> 00:45:55.980
And he does such a process and such a work that it brings

599
00:45:55.980 --> 00:45:57.620
us into this beautiful diamond.

600
00:45:58.160 --> 00:45:59.140
So there's the word I got.

601
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:05.260
I wanted to share the last word that I heard I, uh, earlier today, I kept

602
00:46:05.260 --> 00:46:10.060
hearing cherry blossoms and I don't know too much about cherry blossoms, but,

603
00:46:10.420 --> 00:46:16.340
um, I felt that the Lord after that, uh, brought me to Ecclesiastics 311 and

604
00:46:16.340 --> 00:46:21.300
the first part of it, where he says he has made everything beautiful in its time.

605
00:46:21.860 --> 00:46:26.740
And just like the cherry blossoms, they bloom at the precise right time.

606
00:46:26.740 --> 00:46:31.780
He wanted us to know that God has a precise, he has a precise right time for

607
00:46:31.780 --> 00:46:36.460
every season and event in our lives as well, just like those cherry, cherry

608
00:46:36.460 --> 00:46:37.060
blossoms.

609
00:46:37.380 --> 00:46:39.340
And so I just wanted to share that.

610
00:46:39.340 --> 00:46:41.060
I heard that earlier this morning.

611
00:46:43.980 --> 00:46:44.480
Yeah.

612
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:47.820
I wanted to, um, kind of go along with, um, Candy's word.

613
00:46:48.220 --> 00:46:50.780
So when you were speaking, Candy, you were talking about diamonds.

614
00:46:50.900 --> 00:46:53.540
So when you were speaking, Candy, you were talking about diamonds.

615
00:46:53.620 --> 00:46:58.260
The Lord showed me, um, a man pressing olives.

616
00:46:58.940 --> 00:47:03.140
And then the word that came to my mind was first press first press.

617
00:47:03.180 --> 00:47:06.500
And if you're not, if you don't know, uh, if you don't use olive oil, I'll

618
00:47:06.500 --> 00:47:11.620
use olive oil all the time, but, um, extra virgin olive oil only takes one

619
00:47:11.620 --> 00:47:12.260
press.

620
00:47:12.660 --> 00:47:12.940
Why?

621
00:47:12.940 --> 00:47:15.140
Because it's pure and you're going to see it.

622
00:47:15.140 --> 00:47:17.300
Like you're going to notice the taste is different.

623
00:47:17.620 --> 00:47:19.620
You're not supposed to add heat to it, right?

624
00:47:19.620 --> 00:47:23.020
You're supposed to like, use that in, I'm a chef, so I'm all about food.

625
00:47:23.380 --> 00:47:27.420
Um, so you mix it with salad, you're not really supposed to add any heat to it

626
00:47:27.420 --> 00:47:31.340
because that will lose some of the properties and the purity and the flavor

627
00:47:31.620 --> 00:47:33.060
of that olive oil, right?

628
00:47:33.060 --> 00:47:33.900
The first press.

629
00:47:33.900 --> 00:47:39.340
And what the Lord is saying that, um, in the times where they had to, um, fill

630
00:47:39.340 --> 00:47:43.700
the lamps, you know, the oil with lamps and actually lights the fire to, to make

631
00:47:43.700 --> 00:47:46.380
sacrifices to God atonement, right?

632
00:47:46.580 --> 00:47:51.700
Um, that the Lord did not allow them to use second presses because, and this goes

633
00:47:51.700 --> 00:47:57.220
along with Bethany's word, the second press required heavy weights to squeeze

634
00:47:57.260 --> 00:47:59.420
out the low quality oil.

635
00:47:59.980 --> 00:48:04.060
So what the Lord is saying to us is that these, these things that we're facing,

636
00:48:04.100 --> 00:48:10.180
these pressures that we're facing, he wants, God wants to release from us and

637
00:48:10.180 --> 00:48:16.580
within us, the first press, that extra version, pure oil, because this oil is

638
00:48:16.580 --> 00:48:19.820
clean, it's bright, it's odorless.

639
00:48:19.900 --> 00:48:24.060
And it is, it's like the Bible says that it's like a fragrance.

640
00:48:24.300 --> 00:48:25.580
It is like a fragrance.

641
00:48:25.940 --> 00:48:30.700
Um, you know, when, when he thinks of us and when he's pleased with us, so don't

642
00:48:30.700 --> 00:48:32.220
be discouraged about the trials.

643
00:48:32.260 --> 00:48:35.100
I know that a lot of times we would like to blame the devil, right?

644
00:48:35.100 --> 00:48:39.740
For everything, some pressures, the Lord allows those pressures to come because he

645
00:48:39.740 --> 00:48:41.180
wants to purify us.

646
00:48:41.460 --> 00:48:42.700
And that's what it's going to take.

647
00:48:42.700 --> 00:48:48.180
If we are praying and believing for kingdom marriages, we need to be about kingdom

648
00:48:48.180 --> 00:48:48.820
business.

649
00:48:49.020 --> 00:48:53.260
So anything that's of the world, that's still in us, those little sediments and

650
00:48:53.260 --> 00:49:00.380
those heavy weights that, that, um, uh, create impurities in, in our oil, God is

651
00:49:00.380 --> 00:49:02.140
pressing that out of us.

652
00:49:02.300 --> 00:49:02.660
Amen.

653
00:49:07.660 --> 00:49:08.380
Amen.

654
00:49:08.380 --> 00:49:09.140
Thank you, Jennifer.

655
00:49:09.140 --> 00:49:11.820
I'm going to look at some olive oil differently.

656
00:49:12.260 --> 00:49:15.100
You just described our characteristics, really.

657
00:49:15.220 --> 00:49:17.420
Um, the first press, that's who we are.

658
00:49:18.180 --> 00:49:23.980
We are the first press and God is saying, there's no need to edit yourself.

659
00:49:25.540 --> 00:49:28.740
Just be, you're my chosen.

660
00:49:29.260 --> 00:49:34.740
You're my people, a Royal priesthood, a Holy nation.

661
00:49:35.420 --> 00:49:38.340
I have called you for great and marvelous things.

662
00:49:39.140 --> 00:49:45.260
And so when we edit ourselves, we're taking our eyes off the creator who made the

663
00:49:45.260 --> 00:49:53.820
first press when we compare ourselves or when things go another direction.

664
00:49:54.500 --> 00:49:57.660
And my first reaction is, Oh, I'm unsure.

665
00:49:57.740 --> 00:49:59.540
I'm, I'm, I'm anxious about this.

666
00:49:59.540 --> 00:50:00.020
How am I?

667
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.120
going to, this has happened. And let me give a specific

668
00:50:03.120 --> 00:50:14.800
example. The basement, where I am was, we had a leak. And it

669
00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:19.280
was, I mean, in fact, it wasn't a leak, it was really a flood

670
00:50:19.840 --> 00:50:22.920
that I mean, I'm stepping into there and I'm going splash,

671
00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:27.600
splash, splash, splash. The flooring, everything just the

672
00:50:27.600 --> 00:50:32.760
walls were ripped. And so we had to do some big remodeling.

673
00:50:34.040 --> 00:50:40.240
And just about a week or two, I'm looking at the basement, I'm

674
00:50:40.240 --> 00:50:43.920
like, what in the world is going on? There is, there's

675
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:48.920
expansion, the flooring, I can see pockets and so I'm hearing

676
00:50:51.040 --> 00:50:57.480
moisture, I'm hearing, you know, it's an avenue for mold

677
00:50:57.480 --> 00:51:02.280
and, and my first reaction is like, oh, my legs, I don't want

678
00:51:02.280 --> 00:51:07.440
to go through this again. Now, this is not to judge what I was

679
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:12.520
feeling. But it's to also, this was how God was communicating

680
00:51:12.520 --> 00:51:17.680
with me. Arrest it, arrest that thought, be in that space, feel

681
00:51:17.680 --> 00:51:22.360
that emotion. You feel concerned, you feel anxious, you

682
00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:27.280
feel worried. Now that is not, that is not the first press. I'm

683
00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:31.400
going into the second press with worry and anxiety. But God

684
00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:35.800
is saying rest, be aware that the second press of worry and

685
00:51:35.800 --> 00:51:41.280
anxiety is coming up. But rest, abide in me, the first press.

686
00:51:41.880 --> 00:51:47.160
We'll see, Kemi, I'll take care of you. I'll take care of it. It

687
00:51:47.160 --> 00:51:51.920
might not be easy. But rest, rest in me. We'll see what will

688
00:51:51.920 --> 00:51:55.880
happen. Something amazing may happen out of all of this. But

689
00:51:55.880 --> 00:52:00.520
God is saying, this is a distraction, Kemi. This is a

690
00:52:00.520 --> 00:52:05.040
distraction. And it's taking you away from the so many miracles

691
00:52:05.040 --> 00:52:12.000
happening. And so, again, I'm hearing God saying, be mindful

692
00:52:12.080 --> 00:52:17.800
of the many, many little miracles happening in a day as

693
00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:21.840
opposed to focusing on that one big thing you want to happen in

694
00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:25.200
your life. But there are miracles happening every day.

695
00:52:25.400 --> 00:52:29.200
And so there are distractions of whether it's the basement, or

696
00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:33.400
whether it's caring for my papa, or whether it's this and that

697
00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:36.840
or the other. A lot of distractions that the enemy wants

698
00:52:36.840 --> 00:52:40.160
to take us out of the game, wants to take us out of being

699
00:52:40.160 --> 00:52:44.880
the first press. But God is saying, don't judge those

700
00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:50.360
emotions. I gave the gift of emotion. But be aware that

701
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:56.800
they're there and arrested so that it doesn't escalate. And

702
00:52:56.800 --> 00:53:01.200
the way you are arrested is to invite my presence, because my

703
00:53:01.200 --> 00:53:05.160
presence is the promise. Thank you, Lord.

704
00:53:16.160 --> 00:53:20.160
I couldn't tell Shelly if you were gonna go. Okay, okay, I

705
00:53:20.160 --> 00:53:24.000
just wanna make sure. Man, that's so good. So, so good. You

706
00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:27.400
all were rounding the corner here, but I have something to

707
00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:31.280
kind of partner with the words that were just given. So as

708
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:37.280
Candy said, the word or phrase, see who you are, God really

709
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:41.160
highlighted the word see to me. And as I was just kind of like,

710
00:53:41.160 --> 00:53:43.400
okay, is this about God, you're trying to say something about

711
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:47.480
the CSEA? Or is there something about the actual CSEE, you know,

712
00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:50.760
that we see? And immediately, as soon as I asked that

713
00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:54.320
question, I saw like, what I, you know, first thought they

714
00:53:54.320 --> 00:53:57.040
were like spectacles being put on eyes, but God said they're

715
00:53:57.040 --> 00:54:02.440
goggles. And I asked him about goggles. And just what he was

716
00:54:02.440 --> 00:54:05.400
trying to say, obviously, we go typically, at least for me, I go

717
00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:08.920
right to swimming goggles, you know, and that is part of the

718
00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:14.880
word that we would see clearly under the water into the deep.

719
00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:18.560
The word talks about like the deep calls onto the deep, like

720
00:54:18.560 --> 00:54:23.120
the deep things of God calls into the deep places of us. And

721
00:54:23.120 --> 00:54:26.840
as I prayed into that more, I really believe God is saying

722
00:54:26.840 --> 00:54:29.840
over this movement, you know, the team was even just releasing

723
00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:32.520
a word about just that reminder of what Jackie's even been

724
00:54:32.520 --> 00:54:37.000
saying, like, yeah, we're here on purpose for a purpose. Yes,

725
00:54:37.040 --> 00:54:40.120
the goal, a lot of us, we come into this community to find our

726
00:54:40.120 --> 00:54:43.840
spirit mate to heal to learn how to date in healthy ways and all

727
00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:47.800
of that. But man, it's so much bigger. Not everyone's going to

728
00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:51.920
feel called to become a part of the movement. Everyone goes out

729
00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:54.040
and still is a part of it. But some people are going to be

730
00:54:54.080 --> 00:54:57.360
feeling like, okay, I need to link arms with what is happening

731
00:54:57.560 --> 00:54:59.960
here. There's a call upon

732
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.840
movement. And what God is saying in this season is that he's going to give us heightened discernment.

733
00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:11.120
That's what I heard him say. Heightened discernment. And this is for everyone,

734
00:55:11.120 --> 00:55:15.600
but I really want to speak to those people that you have made mistakes before hearing God.

735
00:55:16.480 --> 00:55:22.160
You haven't trusted yourself and your own ability to recognize unhealthy patterns in people.

736
00:55:22.720 --> 00:55:28.080
You blew past red flags. We coached on this on Thursday night for my people that were in there.

737
00:55:29.040 --> 00:55:34.480
And God wants you to know he's going to heal all of that. He's going to teach you how to trust

738
00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:41.440
yourself again. But as a whole, for all of us, there's going to be heightened discernment in

739
00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:46.640
this next season. God wants to give us the ability to see into the deep places, things that are

740
00:55:46.640 --> 00:55:55.120
hidden, things that are submerged, truths that other people might miss. Y'all, that's a fresh

741
00:55:55.760 --> 00:56:00.480
word. And that's for anybody that wants to reach up and grab that. And that might feel big for some

742
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:04.480
of you because you might be like, I don't even know if I hear from God. But I want you to know

743
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:09.520
that if you'll allow that word, somebody said earlier, the seeds one day become flowers the

744
00:56:09.520 --> 00:56:15.520
next day. I want all of you to know and hear, years ago when I first started believing in the

745
00:56:15.520 --> 00:56:20.720
Lord, started my walk, I didn't know how to pray out loud. I didn't know anything about the

746
00:56:20.720 --> 00:56:27.360
prophetic. As I went, as I've grown in the Lord, I've been saved since 1998. It's been a long time.

747
00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:34.160
I've picked up things along the way, but y'all, it's not just what I've picked up and grabbed

748
00:56:34.160 --> 00:56:38.960
from other people or heard. Those were powerful things. Y'all, I've done things. I've taken

749
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:43.360
trainings. I've read books. I've studied the Word of God. I've prayed and prayed and prayed.

750
00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:48.080
You know, I tell this community all the time, way back when, you know, I used to literally every day

751
00:56:48.080 --> 00:56:51.360
do what Joyce Meyer, you know, I'll give her credit because she's amazing.

752
00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:56.400
She said, I am his sheep and I hear his voice. She said, put your hands on your ears. And so I give

753
00:56:56.400 --> 00:57:01.840
that to all of you again tonight. If you struggle to hear God, he wants to know that he wants to

754
00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:06.320
enable you to hear what his Spirit is saying. But man, we have to get into the Word. We have to,

755
00:57:06.320 --> 00:57:11.280
we have to learn what his voice sounds like. If you want to know what God sounds like,

756
00:57:11.280 --> 00:57:15.760
study the words of Jesus, because Jesus is a representation of the Father to us.

757
00:57:16.720 --> 00:57:20.720
So how do we grow in discernment? We grow in understanding the voice of the Father,

758
00:57:20.720 --> 00:57:27.600
understand things that he's saying and practicing. Y'all, I've practiced and practiced

759
00:57:28.160 --> 00:57:33.040
in rooms full of like safe people that even if you mess up when you're trying to release

760
00:57:33.040 --> 00:57:38.000
the prophetic, they're not going to be really hard on you. And for some of you, again, like,

761
00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:42.560
I'm not saying I do it perfectly either. This is about me just putting it all out there and

762
00:57:43.520 --> 00:57:50.000
trusting that even if I mess up, that God will protect you before you receive it,

763
00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:56.960
that he'll turn it so that you hear it the way that you need to. And so if you are someone that

764
00:57:56.960 --> 00:58:03.200
you just feel like God is calling you to kind of step into that gifting to like you get words

765
00:58:03.200 --> 00:58:06.880
of wisdom, but you feel afraid to release them to people, I really want to encourage you.

766
00:58:07.520 --> 00:58:11.600
God wants you to take some steps of action on that. I think that he's calling you out of that

767
00:58:11.600 --> 00:58:18.720
place of fear into a place of faith to become that person that he can trust with the words

768
00:58:18.720 --> 00:58:23.520
that he's going to release in this next season. And there was another thing in here that I thought

769
00:58:23.520 --> 00:58:28.960
was really important that I want to share with you really quickly about goggles.

770
00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:38.400
Oftentimes, goggles can also cause us to shift our perspective, right? Sometimes if you try,

771
00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:42.720
I don't know about you guys, sometimes it's hard for me to open my eyes underwater because of,

772
00:58:42.720 --> 00:58:46.800
you know, the chlorine or whatever. But if you put those goggles on, man, you can see something

773
00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:52.240
really clearly, right? Maybe you're diving even deep down in the ocean and you've got, you know,

774
00:58:52.240 --> 00:58:56.960
those different, those wide across goggles and it just makes you like you can see the fish,

775
00:58:56.960 --> 00:59:03.680
you can see the coral, whatever that is. So this is for someone. There's something that God is

776
00:59:03.680 --> 00:59:09.600
trying to help you see and you're frustrated. You're feeling like you want to see it, but you

777
00:59:09.600 --> 00:59:12.480
don't know how. And God is saying, I'm going to give you the goggles. I'm going to give you the

778
00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:21.360
ability to see. It's a process to trust him. Remember who's at the helm? Who's at the helm

779
00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:26.640
of your ship? What do you need tonight? Let's go ahead and put it in the chat. We're going to do

780
00:59:26.640 --> 00:59:30.560
this real quick. What do you need from God tonight? It could be something we said. It could be

781
00:59:30.560 --> 00:59:35.200
something that you just need. And you all, we all, I know I'm already married, but I know you

782
00:59:35.200 --> 00:59:41.040
all want a spirit mate. Let's talk about something else. What else do you need from God tonight? Go

783
00:59:41.040 --> 00:59:46.720
ahead and put it in the chat for me. Somebody saying clarity. I don't know if that was on what

784
00:59:46.720 --> 00:59:53.280
I just said. Healing, debt paid off, healing, direction. I'm going to try to keep up there

785
00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:58.320
going fast. Good sleep and rest. Praise the Lord. I need that too. Peace, purpose, breakthrough,

786
00:59:58.320 --> 00:59:59.920
confirmation.

787
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.920
strength, financial freedom, debt paid off.

788
01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:07.520
Y'all, I'm gonna say this out of love.

789
01:00:07.520 --> 01:00:09.840
Do you know a lot of times we pray for things

790
01:00:11.360 --> 01:00:15.280
and then God gives us experiences to practice that?

791
01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:18.640
So, for those of you that want patience,

792
01:00:19.800 --> 01:00:21.000
I'm gonna just encourage you

793
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:24.140
that when those situations come in the next few weeks,

794
01:00:24.140 --> 01:00:26.040
that you will not get angry at God

795
01:00:26.040 --> 01:00:28.600
for presenting you with things

796
01:00:28.600 --> 01:00:31.200
that might test your patience.

797
01:00:31.200 --> 01:00:32.480
And I don't say that lightheartedly.

798
01:00:32.480 --> 01:00:34.400
I'm saying that to pastor you and love you

799
01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:37.080
because sometimes the things that we want,

800
01:00:37.080 --> 01:00:39.640
you know, some of us beg and plead to have a spirit mate

801
01:00:39.640 --> 01:00:42.120
but then like just totally rip that person apart,

802
01:00:42.120 --> 01:00:42.940
we meet them.

803
01:00:45.100 --> 01:00:47.600
Ouch, I know that one probably landed hard.

804
01:00:47.600 --> 01:00:48.560
It's true.

805
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:52.740
The enemy, as soon as people are stepping into marriage,

806
01:00:52.740 --> 01:00:54.900
he's coming quick to try to divide.

807
01:00:57.040 --> 01:01:00.000
So, let's get our hearts as right as we can,

808
01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:01.440
as healthy as we can,

809
01:01:02.520 --> 01:01:04.840
so that you can navigate those things

810
01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:07.760
well with your spirit mate, your teammate.

811
01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:09.640
Not just someone you're getting to the aisle with

812
01:01:09.640 --> 01:01:13.400
but God wants to create this really beautiful tapestry

813
01:01:13.400 --> 01:01:14.880
through your life with your spirit mate,

814
01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:18.420
something you guys can do together for the kingdom.

815
01:01:18.420 --> 01:01:19.800
He's for you.

816
01:01:19.800 --> 01:01:21.140
He's not against you.

817
01:01:22.080 --> 01:01:25.100
Trust him to provide for every one of your needs,

818
01:01:25.180 --> 01:01:27.260
the things that y'all are sitting in here saying

819
01:01:27.260 --> 01:01:28.080
when you need sleep.

820
01:01:28.080 --> 01:01:30.000
I know, man, the enemy is attacking people's sleep

821
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:30.840
left and right.

822
01:01:31.940 --> 01:01:32.980
Pray over your mind.

823
01:01:32.980 --> 01:01:35.460
Pray over your heart and your spirit before you go to sleep.

824
01:01:35.460 --> 01:01:36.900
Start partnering with God.

825
01:01:36.900 --> 01:01:39.280
Thank you so much for giving me sale arrest.

826
01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:41.460
Thank you for ministering to me in the spirit realm

827
01:01:41.460 --> 01:01:42.640
while I sleep.

828
01:01:42.640 --> 01:01:44.700
Thank you for removing barriers and obstacles

829
01:01:44.700 --> 01:01:48.020
and bringing breakthrough on my behalf.

830
01:01:48.020 --> 01:01:49.700
His eyes never slumber.

831
01:01:49.700 --> 01:01:50.540
He never slumbers.

832
01:01:50.540 --> 01:01:51.580
He never sleeps.

833
01:01:51.580 --> 01:01:53.480
His eyes are on us because he loves us.

834
01:01:53.480 --> 01:01:55.460
He's not looking to find fault in us.

835
01:01:55.460 --> 01:02:00.280
If we make mistakes, he's lovingly going to convict us,

836
01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:02.800
not shame us, not guilt us, not condemn us.

837
01:02:02.800 --> 01:02:03.960
That's from the enemy.

838
01:02:05.380 --> 01:02:06.220
Okay?

839
01:02:07.340 --> 01:02:08.440
Y'all, we're cheering you on.

840
01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:09.720
We believe in you.

841
01:02:10.940 --> 01:02:13.160
I just wanted to say a couple of those things

842
01:02:13.160 --> 01:02:15.240
because sometimes even, you know,

843
01:02:15.240 --> 01:02:17.320
I remember way back I heard a preacher say

844
01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:19.520
they prayed and prayed and prayed for kids

845
01:02:19.520 --> 01:02:20.920
and then once they got the kids,

846
01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:22.080
all they did was complain

847
01:02:22.080 --> 01:02:24.560
until God convicted them for complaining

848
01:02:24.560 --> 01:02:28.100
for the blessing that they begged God for.

849
01:02:29.620 --> 01:02:31.280
Right?

850
01:02:31.280 --> 01:02:33.560
So that's where my heart is landing as we're closing.

851
01:02:33.560 --> 01:02:37.900
So for those of you that are asking for things right now,

852
01:02:37.900 --> 01:02:40.600
I pray that God will also cleanse your heart

853
01:02:40.600 --> 01:02:42.880
from the things that would cause you

854
01:02:42.880 --> 01:02:45.280
to then be frustrated by the blessing

855
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:46.880
that is given unto you.

856
01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:49.200
Father, I pray that you would just help us, Lord,

857
01:02:49.200 --> 01:02:50.400
in the days ahead

858
01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:52.480
to have the capacity to receive

859
01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:54.640
and believe in the supernatural realm,

860
01:02:54.640 --> 01:02:57.400
which as Jackie talked about it yesterday,

861
01:02:57.400 --> 01:03:00.280
God, to know that you are fighting on our behalf.

862
01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:02.160
God, just like Elijah prayed

863
01:03:02.160 --> 01:03:03.720
for his servant's eyes to be opened,

864
01:03:03.720 --> 01:03:06.720
God, I pray that you would open our eyes to see,

865
01:03:06.720 --> 01:03:08.060
God, what you're already doing,

866
01:03:08.060 --> 01:03:09.160
the ways that you're working,

867
01:03:09.160 --> 01:03:11.520
the ways that you're sending angels

868
01:03:11.520 --> 01:03:13.880
to war on our behalf right now.

869
01:03:13.880 --> 01:03:16.960
God, that you would remove the things that we cannot do.

870
01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:19.200
God, sometimes it's so natural.

871
01:03:19.480 --> 01:03:21.760
We're trying so hard.

872
01:03:21.760 --> 01:03:25.360
And even when you tell us, Lord, to not strive and not try,

873
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:27.040
we don't know how to do that sometimes

874
01:03:27.040 --> 01:03:29.400
because our whole lives, that's what we learned.

875
01:03:29.400 --> 01:03:32.800
So God, I pray that wherever each one of these individuals

876
01:03:32.800 --> 01:03:34.160
finds themselves tonight, God,

877
01:03:34.160 --> 01:03:36.640
that you would help them just to sense your presence

878
01:03:36.640 --> 01:03:38.380
right now, washing over them.

879
01:03:40.160 --> 01:03:42.520
God, give them a renewed understanding

880
01:03:42.520 --> 01:03:45.060
and revelation of your closeness to them.

881
01:03:46.160 --> 01:03:48.080
God, that you are close to the brokenhearted,

882
01:03:48.080 --> 01:03:49.440
those who are crushed in spirit,

883
01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:52.560
those who are weary, worn out, discouraged.

884
01:03:52.560 --> 01:03:55.440
God, I thank you that you would encourage them tonight,

885
01:03:55.440 --> 01:03:57.460
that you would pour in fresh hope.

886
01:03:57.460 --> 01:04:00.120
God, that it would be a supernatural work, God,

887
01:04:00.120 --> 01:04:01.720
that you would help us to partner with you

888
01:04:01.720 --> 01:04:04.180
and not be afraid of when the things feel hard,

889
01:04:04.180 --> 01:04:07.080
that we would not give up quickly or easily, God,

890
01:04:07.080 --> 01:04:09.240
that we would stay in the game

891
01:04:09.240 --> 01:04:12.040
because the jackpot is coming.

892
01:04:12.040 --> 01:04:13.700
The things that you've been accumulating

893
01:04:13.700 --> 01:04:14.880
and the things that you've been working

894
01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:16.480
in the heavenly realms, God,

895
01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:18.200
that you're gonna pour it out on us,

896
01:04:18.200 --> 01:04:21.000
that which we could not contain it,

897
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:22.760
but it's gonna be good.

898
01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:24.680
It's not gonna be harmful.

899
01:04:24.680 --> 01:04:27.080
It's gonna be a blessing.

900
01:04:27.080 --> 01:04:29.280
Help us to not fear even the good things

901
01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:31.480
that you wanna send our way.

902
01:04:31.480 --> 01:04:32.320
We just thank you, God,

903
01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:35.840
that you would give Salem rest to all those that are here.

904
01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:37.480
Jackie, David, the team,

905
01:04:37.480 --> 01:04:38.920
even those that couldn't be here tonight,

906
01:04:38.920 --> 01:04:40.820
when they hear this, God, I thank you.

907
01:04:42.440 --> 01:04:44.960
Yes, Lord, for going before all of us

908
01:04:44.960 --> 01:04:46.080
and making a way for us,

909
01:04:46.080 --> 01:04:48.160
that you would help us to be strong and of good courage

910
01:04:48.160 --> 01:04:50.680
to know, God, that you are with us,

911
01:04:50.680 --> 01:04:53.960
and you will not fail.

912
01:04:53.960 --> 01:04:55.920
You're not a man that you should lie.

913
01:04:55.920 --> 01:04:57.520
God, we thank you and we bless you.

914
01:04:57.520 --> 01:04:59.840
In Jesus' name, amen.

915
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:04.240
Amen. Amen. God bless you all. We hope you have a great night.

916
01:05:04.720 --> 01:05:07.040
Be blessed. We'll see you in the groups this week.

917
01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:09.000
Bye everybody.

918
01:05:09.080 --> 01:05:10.040
Thank you.
