00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.359
The purpose of worship is to open the heavens.

00:00:02.620 --> 00:00:05.879
Yes. That's the purpose of worship. And you can

00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:09.039
think yourself as a drill, just drilling holes

00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:20.440
through the darkness. God promises in Joel 2

00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:24.980
.28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome

00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:27.179
to Global Outpouring, where we contend for that

00:00:27.179 --> 00:00:30.120
promise outpouring, we equip for that outpouring,

00:00:30.179 --> 00:00:33.719
so that we may engage in that very outpouring.

00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:36.340
I'm Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome

00:00:36.340 --> 00:00:38.600
to the podcast today. We're so glad that you're

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.560
with us. This is going to be a wonderful discussion

00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:46.100
as we continue in this series of strategies for

00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:49.140
defeating your enemy. And we've been using some

00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:51.320
of the books that were written by our founder,

00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:54.399
Gwen Shaw. This time, we're going to talk about

00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.560
this book, God's End Time Battle Plan. We're

00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.439
going to be talking about many different things

00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.599
that are battle plans that God will use in your

00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.659
life that will help you to overcome your enemy.

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:14.939
We're so glad that you're with us today. Before

00:01:14.939 --> 00:01:17.060
we get started, we want to encourage you, if

is our heart. We want to build a relationship

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.000
with you. I mean you. I'm talking to you. We're

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.420
not just out there trying to collect people.

00:01:52.939 --> 00:01:59.040
We are wanting to help you grow in God and be

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:04.540
ready for your part in his. plan. You know, this

00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:07.280
is all about the kingdom of God and every one

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.159
of us has a part. So you have a part and we want

00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.259
to help you grow in your part. So God really

00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:17.240
wants to use you. You are the only person who

can do what you can do. So that's why it's so

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:23.759
important that we are building a relationship

00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.860
with you. And I just want to also mention that

00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:32.509
Philip and I Do travel and minister in various

00:02:32.509 --> 00:02:35.129
places where we have invitations. If you want

00:02:35.129 --> 00:02:39.110
us to come to your area, we are setting our calendar

00:02:39.110 --> 00:02:42.250
for the year. And if you want us to come to your

00:02:42.250 --> 00:02:46.210
area, we're happy to pray into that and see how

00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:48.849
the Lord leads. There's lots of times that we

00:02:48.849 --> 00:02:51.250
just minister to the ones and the twos and the

00:02:51.250 --> 00:02:54.599
fives. You know, I've preached to 30 ,000, but

00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.960
I'm not looking for that all the time either.

00:02:57.139 --> 00:02:59.800
So if you want us to come to your area, let us

00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.280
know. There's a feedback form on the website,

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:06.240
globaloutpouring .net. And you can also send

00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.740
us an email, feedback at globaloutpouring .org.

00:03:10.780 --> 00:03:12.939
We'd be delighted to consider your invitation.

00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:15.780
And we travel to the nations too. We've been

00:03:15.780 --> 00:03:19.000
to lots of places and we love the nations. The

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.639
nations are in our heart. God has a plan for

00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.159
the nations. So we want to help you build your

00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.740
ministry. So today we are talking about God's

00:03:28.740 --> 00:03:31.759
end time battle plan. And some of these things

00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.439
actually... Sister Gwen, our founder, she put

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.900
them in this book, but she also put like a bigger

00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:42.639
emphasis on them. So one of the things that is

00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.300
in this book, the first thing is praise. And

00:03:45.300 --> 00:03:49.539
of course, we dealt with that in episode, well,

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:51.900
I'm not sure which episode it was, I think 299

00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:56.259
or 298 about the power of praise. Power of praise,

00:03:56.419 --> 00:03:58.659
yeah. So did you have something you wanted to

00:03:58.659 --> 00:04:00.919
bring on that, Philip? Yeah. There's many, many

00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.360
books out there, you know, dealing with praise,

00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.180
worship and that. But what it comes down on an

00:04:06.180 --> 00:04:10.979
individual basis is where are you with God? True.

00:04:11.060 --> 00:04:14.680
You know, what is your walk? How are you walking?

00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:17.379
Are you staying clean? Are you staying pure?

00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:21.459
And in Psalm 24, now I just want to read some

00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:25.060
of the verses here. Who shall ascend into the

00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:28.879
hill of the Lord or who shall stand in his holy

00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.970
place? He that has clean hands and a pure heart,

00:04:33.069 --> 00:04:36.850
who hasn't lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor

00:04:36.850 --> 00:04:40.129
sworn deceitfully, he shall receive the blessing

00:04:40.129 --> 00:04:43.230
of the Lord and righteousness from the God of

00:04:43.230 --> 00:04:47.370
his salvation. And for us today, this is the

00:04:47.370 --> 00:04:50.189
generation of them that seek him, that seek thy

00:04:50.189 --> 00:04:53.889
face, O Jacob, Selah. Lift up your hands, O ye

00:04:53.889 --> 00:04:57.129
gates, lift ye up the everlasting doors, and

00:04:57.129 --> 00:05:22.910
the King of glory. Amen. Amen. So this pertains

00:05:22.910 --> 00:05:25.810
to us today. Even though this was written...

00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:29.420
Way back a Psalm of David, way about 3 ,500 years

00:05:29.420 --> 00:05:33.060
ago. But it holds true. But this is the generation.

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.620
It's now Generation X, I think, is where we're

00:05:36.620 --> 00:05:39.839
at. And Z. Z. What's after that? I think they're

00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.600
going back to Alpha. They're going back to Alpha.

00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.920
But every generation, you know, needs to walk

00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:49.079
and worship. And every generation, things change.

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.439
Worship changes. The styles change. And because

00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.240
it changes the atmosphere. You know, worship,

00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.879
praise changes the atmosphere. It'll change your

00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.899
atmosphere because if you can walk in praise,

00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.379
you know, wake up in the morning, just praise

00:06:06.379 --> 00:06:10.060
God. If you can maintain that level of praise

00:06:10.060 --> 00:06:13.519
and worship, that will just lift you above circumstances

00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:18.600
that would normally just drag you down. In order

00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.180
to really defeat the enemy, you have to live

00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:23.779
a holy life. True. You can read all the books

00:06:23.779 --> 00:06:26.699
you want on spiritual warfare, the scriptures,

00:06:26.860 --> 00:06:30.399
but if you're not living a holy life, Satan has

00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.899
a legal right that will keep you from pressing

00:06:33.899 --> 00:06:37.339
through and in victory. And I told our daughter

00:06:37.339 --> 00:06:39.990
back when she was young, You know, if you're

00:06:39.990 --> 00:06:42.269
a worship leader, actually anybody in ministry,

00:06:42.509 --> 00:06:45.089
you have a bullseye on your back. True. And the

00:06:45.089 --> 00:06:48.430
devil is going to try to shoot you. Target. So,

00:06:48.569 --> 00:06:51.430
you know, you have to know that he's there and

00:06:51.430 --> 00:06:54.529
he has arrows, but don't let him hit that bullseye.

00:06:54.810 --> 00:06:57.050
That's the thing. And you can keep him out of

00:06:57.050 --> 00:07:00.050
the bullseye by living a holy life, a life of

00:07:00.050 --> 00:07:03.209
worship, a life of praise. And that is how you

00:07:03.209 --> 00:07:06.250
grow in God. Right. Your scriptures, you keep

00:07:06.250 --> 00:07:08.850
praise. It's in Philippians, the fourth chapter,

00:07:08.949 --> 00:07:12.370
singing hymns, songs and hymns and spiritual

00:07:12.370 --> 00:07:16.509
songs, making melody in your heart always unto

00:07:16.509 --> 00:07:19.430
the Lord. Right. Who would know this more than

00:07:19.430 --> 00:07:23.149
Paul? Right. Paul knew the scriptures. Paul was

00:07:23.149 --> 00:07:26.610
taught under Gamaliel, one of the greatest teachers

00:07:26.610 --> 00:07:30.910
of its time. And still he didn't recognize the

00:07:30.910 --> 00:07:34.370
scriptures of Jesus, of Yeshua, Mashiach, the

00:07:34.370 --> 00:07:37.970
Messiah. But when he had that visitation. You

00:07:37.970 --> 00:07:40.550
know, when he was blind for three days, you know,

00:07:40.550 --> 00:07:42.410
if you get blinded, you know, God blinds you

00:07:42.410 --> 00:07:44.470
for three days. Yeah. You're going to listen

00:07:44.470 --> 00:07:46.769
because you can't do nothing else, really, you

00:07:46.769 --> 00:07:50.589
know. True. And so he grew rapidly and he spent

00:07:50.589 --> 00:07:54.189
time in the desert and he learned to find God.

00:07:54.269 --> 00:07:57.990
And so the churches of all the epistles and many

00:07:57.990 --> 00:08:00.250
of these epistles, it's centered on certain things

00:08:00.250 --> 00:08:03.149
for that particular church. And we can use those

00:08:03.149 --> 00:08:07.420
today for us and how he deals with things. But

00:08:07.420 --> 00:08:10.360
this is one of the keys to a renewed mind, you

00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.759
know, is keeping in the presence of the Lord.

00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:17.420
So praise is one of the big things. And we covered

00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:20.699
that singing, you know, Jehoshaphat, you know,

00:08:20.740 --> 00:08:23.180
when he went out to battle, the praiser sends

00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:26.319
you to first and the battle. Remember that song

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:29.279
we used to sing? Send Judah first and the battle

00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:34.039
will be won. Send Judah first and. We shall overcome,

00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.299
I don't know. Don't remember the words. Glory

00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:38.919
to the Father, praise to the Son, send you the

00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:41.340
first. Something like that, pretty close to it.

00:08:41.659 --> 00:08:45.620
But so it's scriptural and it works. You know,

00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.039
when you're even as a worship leader, you know,

00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:50.799
you wake up in the morning, you know, Sunday

00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.820
morning, whatever. And sometimes the devil, there's

00:08:54.820 --> 00:08:57.759
a term we used to use, my dad used to throw a

00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:01.500
monkey wrench. You know, into the mixer. Yeah.

00:09:01.700 --> 00:09:03.320
And it's kind of like putting something in the

00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.139
spikes of your bike and make you fall off. That's

00:09:07.139 --> 00:09:09.039
what Satan is going to try to do, especially

00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.120
at a key time when God wants to use you in a

00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.620
certain way. The devil is going to try to trip

00:09:14.620 --> 00:09:17.519
you up, you know, somehow, especially if you're

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.899
leading worship in the morning, you're going

00:09:19.899 --> 00:09:22.960
to work and he's going to try to derail you off

00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:27.200
your tracks. Any way that he can do it, he can

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.340
use the car in front of you. He can use a message

00:09:30.340 --> 00:09:34.200
on your phone to try to trip you up. And so we

00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.379
have to maintain this level of worship and praise

00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:40.379
unto the Lord so you don't give the devil a legal

00:09:40.379 --> 00:09:43.139
right in order to have something for happen.

00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.059
Can I interject? Yeah, you go right ahead. What

00:09:46.059 --> 00:09:49.340
I'm seeing as you're talking about this, Philip,

00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:54.299
is that as you worship, as you... keep that atmosphere

00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:57.539
of praise around you, it creates a bubble of

00:09:57.539 --> 00:10:00.519
protection of the presence of God. The presence

00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:04.200
of God himself is going to be this bubble around

00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:06.379
you, protecting you. You're going to be under

00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:08.320
the blood of Jesus. When you're living a holy

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.620
life, you're going to be in this place of protection

00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:15.100
where those arrows can't get through. And that's

00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:18.879
why this worship and this praise is such an important

00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.759
thing to keep the presence of God around you,

00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.820
keep his glory around you. And you know, that

00:10:24.820 --> 00:10:29.659
makes the devil run. Yeah. Wow. Praise God. Excuse

00:10:29.659 --> 00:10:31.620
me for interrupting. Carry on. No, that was good.

00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:34.220
That was just really excellent. So did you have

00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:36.659
anything more on praise or through singing? That

00:10:36.659 --> 00:10:38.059
was my two cents worth on that. That was your

00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:41.860
two cents worth. You know, even singing. Yes.

00:10:42.019 --> 00:10:44.720
That is a key for yourself is singing. And I

00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.279
remember when we had our wreck, we had an incredible

00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.960
wreck. And it's what I called going through the

00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.679
dark night of the soul. You know, we were damaged

00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.899
so bad. Our hands were damaged, couldn't play

00:10:56.899 --> 00:11:00.279
guitars or anything like that. And Sharon would

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:02.460
always have a melody. She was always singing.

00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.200
I'm always either humming or whistling or singing,

00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.860
or it's just going around in my head. And my

00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:11.340
mom used to be like that. It would drive me crazy.

00:11:11.620 --> 00:11:14.220
You know, because, well, I was one to believe

00:11:14.220 --> 00:11:16.399
her. I was kind of backslidden. She's always

00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:18.799
humming or this or that. And when we had that

00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.820
wreck, it's just like Sharon lost her song for

00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:26.279
quite a while. For weeks. And I did not even

00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.779
realize that I'd lost my song until I got it

00:11:29.779 --> 00:11:34.659
back. When I started humming again or whistling

00:11:34.659 --> 00:11:36.600
again or something, I don't remember which it

00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.370
was. All of a sudden, it was like, it's back.

00:11:40.629 --> 00:11:44.830
I hadn't even realized it was gone. But now it's

00:11:44.830 --> 00:11:48.549
back. And I was shocked to realize that I had

00:11:48.549 --> 00:11:51.549
completely lost it during that period of time.

00:11:51.629 --> 00:11:55.429
It was tough. It was a tough, tough time. And

00:11:55.429 --> 00:11:59.080
when you don't have it. You know, it was just

00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.200
the trauma that we had been through, that we

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.539
were experiencing the pain and the grief and

00:12:04.539 --> 00:12:07.840
the loss of our expectations of what we were

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.320
going to be doing. Can you ever play guitar again?

00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:12.940
I remember. It didn't look like it. I remember

00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:15.100
when, you know, we're still in the car and the

00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:17.460
car is on its side and I'm up above you looking

00:12:17.460 --> 00:12:20.240
down at you and I'm looking at your hand and

00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.200
the damage on your hands. My hands were all,

00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.379
you know, tendons tore and it was, you know.

00:12:26.539 --> 00:12:28.740
I don't think you voiced it, but I knew that

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:31.240
you were wondering, will I ever play guitar again?

00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.659
That was the first thing I thought when I really

00:12:33.659 --> 00:12:36.980
gained consciousness in the hospital. You know,

00:12:36.980 --> 00:12:39.500
I'm out on flat on my back, propped up with my

00:12:39.500 --> 00:12:43.200
hands on pillows, all bloody nails tore up and

00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:47.960
tendon tore. And I thought, will I ever? I said,

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:50.620
my God, will I ever play guitar again? That was

00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:52.830
the first things out of my mind. Not thank you,

00:12:52.850 --> 00:12:55.009
Lord, I'm alive. Yeah. You know, I was looking

00:12:55.009 --> 00:12:57.429
at grief. It was grief. Because this happened.

00:12:57.490 --> 00:13:00.309
It was grief. Right. Though I should have been

00:13:00.309 --> 00:13:04.129
killed or end up in a wheelchair. Right. So I

00:13:04.129 --> 00:13:06.110
thank God later for that. And I used to do that

00:13:06.110 --> 00:13:09.129
every day when I think about it. Thank you, Jesus,

00:13:09.230 --> 00:13:11.350
I'm alive and I'm not in a wheelchair. Yeah.

00:13:11.450 --> 00:13:14.149
But that will keep you out of depression. Right.

00:13:14.230 --> 00:13:15.929
You know, because that's one of the biggest things

00:13:15.929 --> 00:13:18.830
the devil will use, especially if you don't get

00:13:18.830 --> 00:13:22.309
it your way or things happen. that will just

00:13:22.309 --> 00:13:25.090
knock the song out of you. It's learning to get

00:13:25.090 --> 00:13:27.190
over that. Yes. You know, over that, when you

00:13:27.190 --> 00:13:29.490
get over the initial shock of something that

00:13:29.490 --> 00:13:32.750
has happened, a death. You know, it could be

00:13:32.750 --> 00:13:35.669
a spouse or something. And an instant grief comes

00:13:35.669 --> 00:13:37.909
in. You know, it could be anything. You know,

00:13:37.950 --> 00:13:40.470
all of a sudden you get this letter in the mail

00:13:40.470 --> 00:13:43.950
that you owe the IRS $3 ,000, you know. Or $30

00:13:43.950 --> 00:13:45.990
,000 or $60 ,000. That can make you lose your

00:13:45.990 --> 00:13:48.429
song real quick. Yeah. You know, and it's just

00:13:48.429 --> 00:13:52.350
learning to step and abide in that. Right. And

00:13:52.350 --> 00:13:55.029
that way you can help you to overcome. And when

00:13:55.029 --> 00:13:57.490
you know someone who has just gone through something.

00:13:58.490 --> 00:14:01.750
That's where intercession comes in. You need

00:14:01.750 --> 00:14:05.370
to pray for people, especially people who have

00:14:05.370 --> 00:14:08.190
just lost a loved one or have been through some

00:14:08.190 --> 00:14:11.490
tragedy or they're being faced with some kind

00:14:11.490 --> 00:14:17.559
of sickness that is unto death. you need to be

00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:20.019
praying. We need to be praying for each other.

00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:25.539
That helps to keep the bubble around us. So if

00:14:25.539 --> 00:14:29.399
I can't sing and you can, you need to sing on

00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:32.759
my behalf or I need to sing on your behalf. I

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.840
think that would really help because the victory

00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:36.840
that we get through singing, the victory that

00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:41.200
we get through praise has to do with hosting

00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.059
the presence of the Lord. Our worship and our

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:49.399
praise. And, you know, sometimes even just breathing,

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:54.580
just breathing can be healing. Like the Lord

00:14:54.580 --> 00:14:56.980
showed me to breathe in his presence and breathe

00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:59.519
out worship. It doesn't have to be with words.

00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:03.799
It can just be with the thoughts of your mind

00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:08.259
worshiping, even if you can't. Or even... just

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:12.159
breathe, just breathe. You know, when you get

00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:14.679
into a situation where that's all you can do,

00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:17.379
just breathe and God will raise up intercessors

00:15:17.379 --> 00:15:19.679
to help you. You know, the world kind of says

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.700
something happens, count to 10, you know, take

00:15:22.700 --> 00:15:26.240
a deep breath, count to 10. It helps you get

00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.620
over that initial few seconds of. of what others.

00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.759
So, so that's a real depression. Keep you out

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.299
of, you know, just learning, you know, and yeah,

00:15:37.340 --> 00:15:40.179
we've been in ministry. I've been like 44 years

00:15:40.179 --> 00:15:43.659
and sharing 48. And so, so what we're sharing

00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:46.200
with you is things that we have learned that

00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.639
we have had to walk through, you know, and through

00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.059
situations and, and many things like that, especially

00:15:52.059 --> 00:15:54.779
even as worship leaders and, you know, and even,

00:15:55.769 --> 00:15:58.509
On a daily basis, we always have our time of

00:15:58.509 --> 00:16:00.870
worship. We get our guitars out first thing in

00:16:00.870 --> 00:16:04.230
the morning. And on my phone, you get these reminders

00:16:04.230 --> 00:16:06.850
you put on your phone, and you have one daily.

00:16:07.289 --> 00:16:11.169
And one of mine that always comes up says, host

00:16:11.169 --> 00:16:14.990
his presence. So you want to be a host of the

00:16:14.990 --> 00:16:17.730
Holy Spirit in your life, a host of his presence

00:16:17.730 --> 00:16:20.919
and his glory. Well, one of the things, you know,

00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:22.639
because everything here is scripture, what we're

00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.519
sharing, and that's to use some musical instruments.

00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:28.460
Yes. You know, we covered before David that he

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:31.500
was out with his sheep, with his harp, and just

00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:34.879
worshiping God. He goes, he gets anointed king,

00:16:35.139 --> 00:16:38.200
goes back to his sheep. Right. But he took down

00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.879
Goliath. Right. He took down the one everybody

00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.240
else was afraid of because he spent time. in

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.200
the presence of the Lord. And when you spend

00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.980
time in the presence of the Lord, you can do

00:16:48.980 --> 00:16:51.019
things you would not do otherwise because he

00:16:51.019 --> 00:16:55.100
gives you a holy boldness. And then you can do

00:16:55.100 --> 00:16:57.759
things that he asks you to do when you feel that

00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:00.559
unction come upon you. So musical instruments

00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:04.539
is a big part. And so David had a harp. And the

00:17:04.539 --> 00:17:06.900
Bible has different words. They have a harp or

00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:12.319
a lyre, psaltery, sackbut, lute. Get some of

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.579
these. I'd have to really look up in the Hebrew.

00:17:15.059 --> 00:17:18.740
And in the Psalms, many times in the Psalms of

00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:21.380
Asaph, it'll say in the beginning of it, you

00:17:21.380 --> 00:17:25.440
know, on Higamoth or something. And what it is,

00:17:25.500 --> 00:17:28.259
it's an instrument. And that's what Asaph, they

00:17:28.259 --> 00:17:30.799
would play this instrument while they would sing

00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.500
this psalm. Call it psalming. Maybe that's another

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:35.920
word that you could call it. So if you see that

00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.900
at the beginning. A lot of Bibles that will have

00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:42.180
that. Yeah. Or to the chief. This is Psalm 22,

00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.119
a Psalm of David. To the chief musician upon

00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:49.900
Aieleth Shachar. Okay. I don't know what it is.

00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:53.180
It might not even be in the Hebrew because it's

00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:55.539
not actually part of the scripture, but it's

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:57.380
somewhere. It's there. Because they got it somewhere,

00:17:57.619 --> 00:17:59.640
you know. Yeah, yeah. So stringed instruments.

00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:02.779
And what we have today, the biggest thing that

00:18:02.779 --> 00:18:07.250
we use of a string instrument is a guitar. Piano,

00:18:07.329 --> 00:18:10.630
the keyboard, all this originated, you know,

00:18:10.690 --> 00:18:13.849
they're strings. They're all string instruments.

00:18:13.890 --> 00:18:16.529
Of course, now you have synthesizers and you

00:18:16.529 --> 00:18:21.410
have keyboards that sound like a piano. And you

00:18:21.410 --> 00:18:24.150
can get all these different sounds. And, you

00:18:24.150 --> 00:18:27.329
know, sound always evolves, you know, through

00:18:27.329 --> 00:18:30.569
the ages, even as these strings. Then you had

00:18:30.569 --> 00:18:34.950
the mandolins, like in the 1600s. And all through

00:18:34.950 --> 00:18:38.430
music, the Baroque era of music, you know, when

00:18:38.430 --> 00:18:41.869
it was first getting strings. And Bach, one of

00:18:41.869 --> 00:18:45.430
the greatest composers of all time, in the beginning

00:18:45.430 --> 00:18:48.490
would write in the initials, Jesus, help me.

00:18:48.609 --> 00:18:52.720
At the end, to God alone the glory. And much

00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.400
of Bach's music was written for the church. True.

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:57.240
You know, pipe work, whether it be an organ,

00:18:57.380 --> 00:19:00.799
it could be an oratorio, it would be many, many

00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:04.319
things like that because music is powerful. Music

00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:08.140
moves the soul. That's true. Music, and for one

00:19:08.140 --> 00:19:10.700
way or another. That's true. And it can work

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:12.640
both ways. It can work both ways. And I remember

00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:16.460
my mom would get on me for this back in the 1970s,

00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:18.420
you know, when I, because, you know, rock and

00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:22.079
roll just was really rolling back then, you know,

00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.880
with wailing guitars and all that sort of thing.

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:28.380
And about the experiments they would do with

00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:32.400
rats and mice. And they would blast them at different

00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:35.759
times, a lot of times with just classical music

00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:39.079
that was soft and melodic. Other times they would

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:43.180
blast them with rock and roll. And the rats and

00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:46.220
mice that they would do that to would turn out

00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:49.140
and they would be aggressive. You know, if you

00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:52.680
remember reading, hearing things. So they've

00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:55.720
done experiments on this stuff, how music affects

00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.220
your soul. It's true. Because, you know, your

00:19:58.220 --> 00:20:02.019
soul is your emotion. And music plays a big part

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:05.819
on your emotions. It's true. But even in grocery

00:20:05.819 --> 00:20:08.700
stores, you know, we're in there and I'm hearing,

00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.480
sometimes I'll hear a song in my head, something

00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:16.019
out of the 60s or the 70s or something. And then

00:20:16.019 --> 00:20:18.180
all of a sudden I'm hearing it. See, I heard

00:20:18.180 --> 00:20:21.740
it in my subconscious. without knowing I was

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:24.559
listening to it. And many times this song can

00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:27.640
bring back a memory. If I hear songs of the late

00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.940
60s, it's going back when I first started high

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:35.029
school and all this. And songs later when, you

00:20:35.029 --> 00:20:37.289
know, when you're out of high school. And I remember

00:20:37.289 --> 00:20:39.890
I was then I'm backslidden by the time I had

00:20:39.890 --> 00:20:42.450
all these and listening to all the wrong stuff.

00:20:42.769 --> 00:20:45.410
But you can't abide in that. You know, you have

00:20:45.410 --> 00:20:49.250
to listen to it. OK, throw it out. It's gone.

00:20:49.349 --> 00:20:51.549
You know, you don't abide on it because it will

00:20:51.549 --> 00:20:53.650
take you back to where you don't want to go.

00:20:53.809 --> 00:20:56.230
Yes. And sometimes God lets those things happen

00:20:56.230 --> 00:21:00.589
so that you can bring the blood of Jesus Christ

00:21:00.589 --> 00:21:04.369
to bear over it. wipe it out of the memory bank,

00:21:04.470 --> 00:21:06.150
so to speak. I mean, it's not like you actually

00:21:06.150 --> 00:21:09.569
forget it, but if you pray into those things,

00:21:09.730 --> 00:21:13.430
then it gives the opportunity for a cleansing

00:21:13.430 --> 00:21:16.190
and a setting right so that it's not going to

00:21:16.190 --> 00:21:18.250
be something that'll pull you down later on.

00:21:18.390 --> 00:21:22.690
Yeah, that's true. So it's powerful. And then

00:21:22.690 --> 00:21:26.509
we have percussion instruments. Sure. Now, ASEF,

00:21:26.529 --> 00:21:29.559
you'll read about, you'll see in Psalms. Song

00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.140
of Asaph. He was the lead worship leader and

00:21:32.140 --> 00:21:35.670
he plays cymbals. Yeah. That wouldn't go over

00:21:35.670 --> 00:21:38.730
today on stage very good. I mean, you got all

00:21:38.730 --> 00:21:40.869
these monitors set up. Everybody's got their

00:21:40.869 --> 00:21:43.470
own mix. And here's a head worship leader with

00:21:43.470 --> 00:21:47.549
cymbals, you know, crash, you know, that doesn't

00:21:47.549 --> 00:21:50.910
really fit. But back in temple worship, there

00:21:50.910 --> 00:21:54.529
was thousands of instrumentals and singers, you

00:21:54.529 --> 00:21:56.710
know, especially David, you know, talks about

00:21:56.710 --> 00:21:59.890
he had like a couple thousand singers. And they

00:21:59.890 --> 00:22:04.430
had 24 -7 worship. Today, you hear of 24 -7 worship.

00:22:04.529 --> 00:22:08.230
We've had houses of worship, Sukkot Hallel in

00:22:08.230 --> 00:22:12.150
Israel, with Rick Riding says 24 -hour worship

00:22:12.150 --> 00:22:15.589
out of Jerusalem. And so they had, this was all

00:22:15.589 --> 00:22:18.160
sent to temple, and they had trumpets. You know,

00:22:18.180 --> 00:22:20.519
they had the trumpets would blast, the shofars,

00:22:20.539 --> 00:22:23.759
but they had other trumpets too. And so worship

00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.920
was always part of the worship in the temple

00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.960
and in the tabernacle. And so you had drums,

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.240
and there was different kinds of drums and instruments.

00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.859
And they had wind instruments. You know, in Genesis

00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:41.299
421, it talks about different instruments and

00:22:41.299 --> 00:22:44.460
even not animals. horns you know they would make

00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:47.119
well a shofar as an animal you know that's out

00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:50.140
of the animals horns and then they and they had

00:22:50.140 --> 00:22:53.029
the straight trumpet the flute it was a make

00:22:53.029 --> 00:22:57.769
a pipe, put holes in it. And David had all these

00:22:57.769 --> 00:23:01.190
instruments because David was a creator of music

00:23:01.190 --> 00:23:04.250
and God gave him the ability to create instruments.

00:23:04.609 --> 00:23:08.470
So a lot of instruments we have today are a result

00:23:08.470 --> 00:23:12.609
of David. And we have such a freedom of worship

00:23:12.609 --> 00:23:15.910
in our conventions like nothing you've ever seen.

00:23:16.109 --> 00:23:19.650
I remember this one family, they had these instruments

00:23:19.650 --> 00:23:23.730
and they had this It looked like a mata, you

00:23:23.730 --> 00:23:27.329
know. It was like a rod. It was like a rod. It

00:23:27.329 --> 00:23:29.769
had three tambourines with Hebrew writing on

00:23:29.769 --> 00:23:33.049
it. It had pomegranates on the bottom of it.

00:23:33.450 --> 00:23:36.549
And when we acquired later on members of this

00:23:36.549 --> 00:23:39.789
family and the Charismatic Renewal, had visions

00:23:39.789 --> 00:23:42.309
of heaven, and a couple of them were taken to

00:23:42.309 --> 00:23:45.029
David's workshop, and he was showing them the

00:23:45.029 --> 00:23:46.910
instruments he'd make, and they modeled this

00:23:46.910 --> 00:23:50.349
instrument after what they saw in heaven. I said,

00:23:50.369 --> 00:23:52.769
wow, you could make these and sell them, you

00:23:52.769 --> 00:23:57.910
know. They never did, but it was just fascinating.

00:23:57.910 --> 00:24:01.970
So God can give you downloads on musical instruments,

00:24:02.289 --> 00:24:05.809
tambourines. All of a sudden, you know, we have

00:24:05.809 --> 00:24:10.190
dance troupes. using tambourines. We've touched

00:24:10.190 --> 00:24:13.930
on Charlotte Baker, the one that did the parable

00:24:13.930 --> 00:24:17.769
of the eye of the needle. God gave her the revelation

00:24:17.769 --> 00:24:21.410
of putting dance and banners back in the church.

00:24:21.470 --> 00:24:24.789
It's all part of worship. The more of changing

00:24:24.789 --> 00:24:29.259
in time, he reveals more things about... Because

00:24:29.259 --> 00:24:32.980
it's like Dean saw when he was in heaven. The

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:36.400
angels round about, holy, holy, holy. Because

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:39.220
they're showing God is revealing something to

00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:42.680
them, something new about himself. As we go along,

00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.339
getting more and more revelation from the Lord,

00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.839
he's revealing more and more things about himself

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:51.819
and about what goes on in heaven. Amen. On earth

00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:55.880
as it is in heaven. Amen. So we have drums, and

00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:58.500
there's drums in the church. And that wasn't

00:24:58.500 --> 00:25:01.380
there when we were kids. Not in our church. Not

00:25:01.380 --> 00:25:03.900
in our church. We didn't have drums. We had an

00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:06.339
organ in this corner. We had the piano over here.

00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:09.700
And that's all there was. And we were part of

00:25:09.700 --> 00:25:13.440
the independent assemblies of God. We were in

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:17.029
a Swedish. church. They were mostly all Swedes,

00:25:17.029 --> 00:25:20.490
you know, Swansons, Nelsons, Nielsons, Karlsons,

00:25:20.549 --> 00:25:23.450
all the sons, you know, and all that. And they

00:25:23.450 --> 00:25:26.569
were more reserved. I mean, Swedes are more reserved,

00:25:26.710 --> 00:25:29.890
you know. But then we got this youth choir. The

00:25:29.890 --> 00:25:33.210
Lord spoke to one of our youth. He was a musical

00:25:33.210 --> 00:25:36.589
guy, and he would conduct. And so I feel to start

00:25:36.589 --> 00:25:39.809
a youth choir. Nobody had youth choirs back then.

00:25:39.849 --> 00:25:44.200
This is about 1970. I think this started. And

00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:47.039
so it was the first one of our denomination.

00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:50.019
And we had like three or four churches in Chicago.

00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:52.819
And then we went to youth camp. And our youth

00:25:52.819 --> 00:25:56.180
camp was up in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Spencer Lake,

00:25:56.259 --> 00:25:59.779
a beautiful place. And it's where our denomination,

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.519
that's where they all would gather, you know,

00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:06.480
one week. Here we are with our youth choir. We

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:09.079
had white pants, black shirts, and white ties.

00:26:09.180 --> 00:26:13.880
We were just really cool, you know. And we were

00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:16.940
a youth choir seeking modern, you know, it was

00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:19.779
Ralph Carmichael, Kurt Kaiser, which is mild

00:26:19.779 --> 00:26:22.740
by today's standards, but they were the first

00:26:22.740 --> 00:26:26.799
one that God used to use music that was not in

00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:28.799
the hymn book. Let's put it that way. I guess

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:31.359
that's a good way to say it. And all of a sudden,

00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:33.619
all these records are coming out now of all these

00:26:33.619 --> 00:26:37.779
different people. And it was like a shift. And

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:40.259
that happened at the Charismatic Renewal. Yeah,

00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:42.359
and the Jesus people. The Jesus people is what

00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:44.099
started this. A lot of the rockers got saved.

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:46.579
The rockers got saved. They came in, and that's

00:26:46.579 --> 00:26:49.460
why you have guitars in the church. It's true.

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:51.519
You can thank the hippies in the early years

00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:54.839
that got saved on the beaches of California.

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.660
And they're all... playing, you know, guitars

00:26:57.660 --> 00:27:00.859
and everything. I was the first one to bring

00:27:00.859 --> 00:27:03.500
a guitar in our church. Yeah, and that is how

00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:06.039
that started. And then the drums kind of came

00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:09.200
in. And then we got a drummer. And that was wild,

00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:13.000
a drum in our church and a drummer. Well, there

00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:16.119
were other cultures that had the drums. Yeah,

00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:18.400
there was other, had the drum. But we didn't

00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:20.880
have them in ours. We didn't have enough soul

00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:25.089
to have drums. Until we started to integrate

00:27:25.089 --> 00:27:27.970
our churches. Yeah. And we did this one song.

00:27:28.309 --> 00:27:31.890
And one of the elders of the church threatened

00:27:31.890 --> 00:27:34.269
to take his daughter out of the choir if we sang

00:27:34.269 --> 00:27:38.289
it because it wasn't quite fit his criteria of

00:27:38.289 --> 00:27:41.710
worship. Yeah. But that's where it started. More

00:27:41.710 --> 00:27:45.130
and more youth choirs. And today, like one of

00:27:45.130 --> 00:27:47.390
our things we do Sunday morning, we like to tune

00:27:47.390 --> 00:27:51.940
in. to Orlando to Jesus Image for the worship

00:27:51.940 --> 00:27:54.259
that goes on there. Because they do a lot of

00:27:54.259 --> 00:27:57.099
the older songs that we heard when we were their

00:27:57.099 --> 00:28:02.039
age. And they're just so anointed. Yes. And the

00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:04.859
worship is, you know, it's just such powerful.

00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:08.440
They don't do a whole lot of praise songs. They

00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:10.839
just go like go right into worship and they just

00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:14.180
hang there. And it's powerful. And that's where

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:17.400
we need to end up is, you know, when we. The

00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:20.339
purpose of worship is to open the heavens. Yes.

00:28:20.380 --> 00:28:23.539
That's the purpose of worship. And you can think

00:28:23.539 --> 00:28:27.119
yourself as a drill, just drilling holes through

00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.200
the darkness because you can go into areas and

00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.200
you can feel the darkness. And I remember times

00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:36.480
we did our regional conventions and we were somewhere

00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:39.319
in Ohio we would go. And we would have like three

00:28:39.319 --> 00:28:42.019
meetings. And sometimes it seemed like it took

00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:44.980
the last meeting to get a real breakthrough in

00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:47.660
worship because of the demonic oppression that

00:28:47.660 --> 00:28:50.519
was around. But the worship, you don't have to

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:52.980
be a worship leader. You are your own worship

00:28:52.980 --> 00:28:55.380
leader. But you don't have to be on the stage

00:28:55.380 --> 00:28:58.460
to poke holes in the heavenlies. You can do it

00:28:58.460 --> 00:29:01.299
wherever you're at. And the more people you have

00:29:01.299 --> 00:29:03.819
do it, that's why when you have a corporate...

00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:07.359
gathering, corporate anointing, the glory is

00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:10.440
all the greater. And that's what creates these

00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:14.200
heavenly portals where the glory can just, and

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:17.339
you can establish places of worship in churches

00:29:17.339 --> 00:29:19.839
that they have that breakthrough continually.

00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:22.819
It's like a portal for the glory of God to come

00:29:22.819 --> 00:29:25.259
down. And it can affect everything around about.

00:29:25.579 --> 00:29:28.599
And when a real move of God happens, then it

00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:31.579
just like comes down and like a downburst, you

00:29:31.579 --> 00:29:35.980
know, a downburst or so. These downdrafts can

00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:39.619
hit, you know, 100 miles an hour, hit the ground

00:29:39.619 --> 00:29:43.079
and just go with these winds and like a derecho.

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:46.039
And it just takes everything in its path just,

00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.400
you know, gets blown over. You know, it's powerful.

00:29:49.579 --> 00:29:53.940
So that's the power that is in worship, in strings.

00:29:54.500 --> 00:29:57.019
And another one is like Phil Driscoll is a good

00:29:57.019 --> 00:29:59.950
example. He was a trumpet player. I mean, he

00:29:59.950 --> 00:30:05.210
was just a stratospheric trumpet player. He could

00:30:05.210 --> 00:30:09.069
just really get up there. And it was a church

00:30:09.069 --> 00:30:12.829
in Jacksonville. It was Beaches Chapel back in

00:30:12.829 --> 00:30:16.250
the 70s, and our founder, Sister Gwen, was ministering.

00:30:16.410 --> 00:30:20.390
And by the Holy Spirit, she's up on the stage,

00:30:20.470 --> 00:30:23.869
and she says, I hear you have a trumpet player

00:30:23.869 --> 00:30:27.200
here that's really good. And everybody's pointing,

00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:30.200
you know, kind of. And he says, you know, Phil,

00:30:30.380 --> 00:30:33.960
come up here. And she points to somebody in the

00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:36.619
orchestra that's on the stage. Give him your

00:30:36.619 --> 00:30:39.400
trumpet. I want you to play something. And he

00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:41.920
played Amazing Grace. It's in this book, actually.

00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:45.059
I was just reading this testimony. So Phil's

00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:47.900
playing Amazing Grace. And as soon as he's done

00:30:47.900 --> 00:30:50.890
playing. Sister Gwen says, you can get filled

00:30:50.890 --> 00:30:53.549
with the Holy Ghost right now. And she lays hands

00:30:53.549 --> 00:30:55.970
on him and right in front of him. Everybody,

00:30:56.049 --> 00:30:57.849
everything, he gets filled with the Holy Spirit.

00:30:58.089 --> 00:31:01.069
Yes. But what she didn't know, he was not allowed

00:31:01.069 --> 00:31:03.690
to play on the stage because he wasn't quite

00:31:03.690 --> 00:31:06.410
living a sanctified life yet. You know, he had

00:31:06.410 --> 00:31:08.910
gotten saved. And, you know, when you get saved,

00:31:09.109 --> 00:31:13.230
you're not a saint overnight. Really? Really,

00:31:13.309 --> 00:31:15.970
you know. Instant Christian changed overnight,

00:31:16.210 --> 00:31:18.490
you know. Right. No, that doesn't happen. I mean,

00:31:18.509 --> 00:31:22.950
you got— Well, there can be major change. I mean,

00:31:22.970 --> 00:31:25.630
a God like that can take your addictions away.

00:31:25.930 --> 00:31:29.049
Any addiction you have can just be gone. But

00:31:29.049 --> 00:31:33.609
your soul tries to drag you down. There's still

00:31:33.609 --> 00:31:34.849
things to deal with. There's still things to

00:31:34.849 --> 00:31:37.410
deal with. So he was forbidden to play, but Sister

00:31:37.410 --> 00:31:39.990
Gwen didn't know that because she was operating

00:31:39.990 --> 00:31:42.329
by the Holy Spirit. And when you're operating

00:31:42.329 --> 00:31:44.990
by the Holy Spirit, you can do things that are

00:31:44.990 --> 00:31:47.970
out of the ordinary. True. And after that, he

00:31:47.970 --> 00:31:51.359
just went and God just used him. as a trumpet.

00:31:51.700 --> 00:31:55.059
And he'd come to our conventions. And I remember

00:31:55.059 --> 00:31:57.039
on the side of the truck, he had a picture of

00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:00.880
a trumpet blowing down strongholds. Amen. And

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:03.500
he had a love to be, wanted to be a pilot. And

00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:06.299
his sister Gwen's husband was a pilot and taught

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:09.440
him the love of flying. You know, he'd just honor

00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:12.359
Sister Gwen when we'd go to a concert where he

00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:15.400
was playing and would just honor her because...

00:32:15.769 --> 00:32:18.950
God used her in his life to turn him upside down.

00:32:19.109 --> 00:32:23.009
Glory to God. So instruments, trumpets, you know,

00:32:23.029 --> 00:32:27.269
all these things are used of God. So that praising

00:32:27.269 --> 00:32:30.890
and worshiping and singing and instruments are

00:32:30.890 --> 00:32:35.750
all some of these battle plans that you can use

00:32:35.750 --> 00:32:37.910
to defeat your enemy. So the next one in this

00:32:37.910 --> 00:32:41.789
book has to do with dancing. And if you'll recall,

00:32:42.109 --> 00:32:45.150
there was a time that the Red Sea, you know,

00:32:45.150 --> 00:32:47.609
when Egypt was defeated at the Red Sea. Well,

00:32:47.730 --> 00:32:53.109
Miriam starts dancing. Moses is singing. Miriam

00:32:53.109 --> 00:32:55.950
is singing and she's dancing with the tambourine.

00:32:55.990 --> 00:32:58.910
And there's something about breaking free in

00:32:58.910 --> 00:33:02.269
the dance. Yes. And I remember if you know who

00:33:02.269 --> 00:33:06.099
Ruth Heflin. was, she still is, she's in heaven

00:33:06.099 --> 00:33:10.359
now, she had a revelation from God that if you

00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:12.960
want to go to the nations, you have to dance.

00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.619
Yeah, I remember her brother. Yeah, and so her

00:33:15.619 --> 00:33:21.680
brother didn't want to dance. And so, but she

00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:23.799
obeyed the Holy Spirit because he spoke it to

00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:26.319
her. She had that revelation. And so she would

00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:29.559
dance and dance and dance and dance and dance.

00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:33.559
And even When she was in an airplane, she would

00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:37.559
go into that little tiny, tiny restroom in the

00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:40.480
back of the airplane. And she's about six foot

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:43.680
tall. And she was a large woman. And she would

00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:46.640
still somehow manage to dance in that little

00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:49.900
tiny space because she was honoring the thing

00:33:49.900 --> 00:33:52.599
that God told her to do. And she went to nation

00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:56.359
after nation after nation. God used her in many,

00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:59.640
many nations. But her brother didn't want to

00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:02.880
dance. And he wasn't going to the nations until

00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:06.519
one day the Lord dealt with him. he had to agree

00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:08.860
with what the Lord had said to his sister, he

00:34:08.860 --> 00:34:10.679
started to dance. Under the power of the Holy

00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:13.380
Spirit, he began to dance, and he danced, and

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:15.059
he danced, and he danced, and he started going

00:34:15.059 --> 00:34:18.420
to the nations too. And I've heard of other people

00:34:18.420 --> 00:34:22.340
who have had a similar experience where, oh,

00:34:22.340 --> 00:34:24.760
wasn't Sister Dorn? Yeah, I was going to, I was

00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:27.179
waiting. Go for it, go for it. Yeah, one of our

00:34:27.179 --> 00:34:29.900
Bible teachers, you know, Sister Dorn was just

00:34:29.900 --> 00:34:34.860
an amazing teacher, and she was, she's Norwegian.

00:34:37.409 --> 00:34:40.190
Very staid. Very staid, maybe because of the

00:34:40.190 --> 00:34:43.889
climate, too. It's called the Church of the Frigidaire.

00:34:45.030 --> 00:34:49.170
It's what her husband would say. Papa Dorn, he

00:34:49.170 --> 00:34:50.829
called the Church of the Frigidaire, you know,

00:34:50.869 --> 00:34:55.449
the frozen chosen. So the Lord was dealing with

00:34:55.449 --> 00:34:58.489
her, and they're in a church, and he's speaking

00:34:58.489 --> 00:35:01.750
to her, you need to dance. And she's just refusing.

00:35:01.789 --> 00:35:04.480
She says, I'm not going to do that. And then

00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:06.960
the Lord spoke to her, if you do not dance, I'm

00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:09.420
going to remove my anointing from off of you.

00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:14.000
That's too scary. And so she just jumped up.

00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:17.019
She started dancing. She danced all around the

00:35:17.019 --> 00:35:19.320
church. She went out the door, danced outside.

00:35:19.699 --> 00:35:23.320
And God gave her the revelation of the dance.

00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:26.119
And even in their church, I remember one time

00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:30.239
when the worship was going on, it was she's sitting

00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:31.980
at the organ. Yeah, she was the organist. And

00:35:31.980 --> 00:35:35.230
she took a break. She just stopped and looked,

00:35:35.489 --> 00:35:38.710
and the organ is playing by itself. The keys

00:35:38.710 --> 00:35:41.949
are all going down. And she calls to the, was

00:35:41.949 --> 00:35:44.110
it the worship leader? She waved at him, yeah.

00:35:44.349 --> 00:35:47.650
Yeah, the worship leader, she waves at him. And

00:35:47.650 --> 00:35:50.809
she points down at the keyboard, and everything's

00:35:50.809 --> 00:35:52.809
moving by himself, and she's not touching it.

00:35:52.889 --> 00:35:55.769
And he gets slain in the spirit, just collapses

00:35:55.769 --> 00:35:59.570
on the stage. So if you're obedient, God will

00:35:59.570 --> 00:36:02.719
release things. Into you, into your church, into

00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:05.719
your ministry that you never dreamed of before.

00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:09.059
Very true. Very true. One of the things that

00:36:09.059 --> 00:36:11.500
Sister Gwen brings out in this book of scriptures

00:36:11.500 --> 00:36:15.500
on dancing, Ecclesiastes 3, 4 says that there's

00:36:15.500 --> 00:36:18.659
a time to dance. But first it says there's a

00:36:18.659 --> 00:36:22.420
time to mourn and a time to dance. And the point

00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:25.599
that she makes here is that mourning probably

00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:28.179
might have to come first. And sometimes in the

00:36:28.179 --> 00:36:31.349
spirit realm. In the spirit when we're travailing.

00:36:31.349 --> 00:36:33.250
Now, we talked about travailing intercessory

00:36:33.250 --> 00:36:37.369
prayer in one of these sessions called Pour Out

00:36:37.369 --> 00:36:39.190
Your Heart. We were talking about that book.

00:36:39.570 --> 00:36:43.710
And that intercession, that travail, that groaning,

00:36:43.809 --> 00:36:48.570
that groaning, that weeping, that time of mourning.

00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:51.960
And when you know that you've prayed through,

00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:55.480
when you know that God has heard your prayer,

00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:58.539
the answer is on the way. You may not see a thing,

00:36:58.659 --> 00:37:01.900
but you know it in your knower that it's time.

00:37:02.139 --> 00:37:05.420
And then you can get up and dance. You can get

00:37:05.420 --> 00:37:08.000
up and shout. You can shout and you praise and

00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:12.159
you raise your hands and dance. And, you know,

00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:16.780
dancing makes a difference. Whenever I hear a

00:37:16.780 --> 00:37:19.809
good thing. When I hear a good report, what do

00:37:19.809 --> 00:37:22.650
I do? You do a happy dance. I get up and I turn

00:37:22.650 --> 00:37:25.269
around. I can't do it here because I'm wired.

00:37:25.530 --> 00:37:27.150
You'll pull your headphones off. I would pull

00:37:27.150 --> 00:37:29.489
my headphones off. But I would just get up and

00:37:29.489 --> 00:37:32.449
do a little dance in a circle. It's my response

00:37:32.449 --> 00:37:36.550
in the spirit. When I hear some good report,

00:37:36.829 --> 00:37:39.670
I just get up and dance because I'm honoring

00:37:39.670 --> 00:37:44.269
the Lord. I'm honoring the joy that comes from

00:37:44.269 --> 00:37:48.039
my spirit. in response to something that he has

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:49.880
done. You know, when I hear great testimony,

00:37:50.099 --> 00:37:52.820
that is one of the things that dancing will do.

00:37:52.940 --> 00:37:56.699
It sets you free and it honors him. And remember

00:37:56.699 --> 00:38:00.019
how David danced before the Ark of the Covenant.

00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:02.960
You know, he danced with all his might. He just,

00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:07.369
he danced leaping. Like Sister Doris said, he

00:38:07.369 --> 00:38:10.309
danced in his linen underwear. Well, I think

00:38:10.309 --> 00:38:12.949
an ephod was probably a little bit more than

00:38:12.949 --> 00:38:17.050
a linen underwear. But even so, he didn't have

00:38:17.050 --> 00:38:18.730
his royal robes on. He didn't have his royal

00:38:18.730 --> 00:38:22.829
robes on. And he was honoring God. This is a

00:38:22.829 --> 00:38:26.030
way that we can honor him. So if you haven't

00:38:26.030 --> 00:38:30.500
danced yet, I just want to encourage you. You

00:38:30.500 --> 00:38:33.900
can do it quietly in your room. Put on some music

00:38:33.900 --> 00:38:36.800
that is going to inspire you to dance. Or just

00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:41.039
if you hear a glorious testimony, jump up and

00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:45.539
give him some movement of your body. It's honoring

00:38:45.539 --> 00:38:50.460
to the Lord. It gives him glory when you step

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:53.340
up and do what the word says to do. You honor

00:38:53.340 --> 00:39:01.409
him in the dance. Saul were going out to battles

00:39:01.409 --> 00:39:04.409
and they were coming back having defeated the

00:39:04.409 --> 00:39:08.769
Philistines the women met them dancing It's a

00:39:08.769 --> 00:39:13.670
it's showing victory. It's a victorious Dance.

00:39:13.710 --> 00:39:17.389
OK, remember, you've probably seen pictures or

00:39:17.389 --> 00:39:21.150
videos of when Israel became a nation, when they

00:39:21.150 --> 00:39:23.610
declared statehood and the people were dancing

00:39:23.610 --> 00:39:25.670
in the streets. They were they were doing those

00:39:25.670 --> 00:39:28.690
circle dances that that that the word commands

00:39:28.690 --> 00:39:32.469
us to do. You dance before the Lord. Some of

00:39:32.469 --> 00:39:34.949
those words for dance means to dance in a circle.

00:39:35.030 --> 00:39:38.130
It really does. You know, like back when when

00:39:38.130 --> 00:39:42.159
we were kids, I was. nazarene church pentecostal

00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.199
church yeah and dancing was a sin i mean you

00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:48.219
yeah there wasn't any anybody up front dancing

00:39:48.219 --> 00:39:51.079
in the church or no no that that that didn't

00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:54.159
exist and and my grandma when the holy spirit

00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:57.260
would fall on her you know she would whoop and

00:39:57.260 --> 00:40:00.280
holler she was a nazarene you know yeah she would

00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:02.800
whoop and holler and she'd go out through the

00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:05.860
congregation She was the preacher, and she'd

00:40:05.860 --> 00:40:08.800
go down, whoop and holler, praise God, slap people,

00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:12.820
shake them. I can still remember that. Well,

00:40:12.820 --> 00:40:15.860
didn't she shake your grandfather? Probably did.

00:40:15.860 --> 00:40:18.380
I think that's what that was. She'd shake him.

00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:23.880
Charles. Charles. Because God was just moving

00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:27.440
on her. That was prophetic of what was to come.

00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:31.840
Sure. And now we can just dance. freely before

00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:34.400
the Lord. But I remember a book that I actually

00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.239
saw at the Nazarene Church wrote about the sin

00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:39.800
of dancing, you know, because back then it was

00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:43.159
a worldly thing. God hadn't released it yet.

00:40:43.260 --> 00:40:45.360
It wasn't time. People didn't understand. They

00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:48.940
didn't understand. They were looking at worldly

00:40:48.940 --> 00:40:52.860
dancing as though the word dance was only that.

00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:56.380
But many people in the moves of God, with their

00:40:56.380 --> 00:40:59.380
eyes closed, would just dance. They would waltz,

00:40:59.380 --> 00:41:03.199
stepping over people. That were laid out. That

00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:05.099
are all laid out on the floor, even though their

00:41:05.099 --> 00:41:07.519
eyes are totally closed. Yeah. And you knew it

00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:09.789
was God. Yeah, they could dance right over. And

00:41:09.789 --> 00:41:12.030
I think that's what changed things. When people

00:41:12.030 --> 00:41:15.369
saw that, they knew that that was not their own

00:41:15.369 --> 00:41:18.489
natural thing. Yeah, there is a real dance in

00:41:18.489 --> 00:41:20.550
the Spirit that's inspired by the Holy Spirit.

00:41:20.769 --> 00:41:22.750
Because that's what it's like in heaven. Yes,

00:41:22.789 --> 00:41:25.250
exactly. There's a lot of dancing in heaven.

00:41:25.489 --> 00:41:27.650
Because they've got a lot to dance about up there.

00:41:27.789 --> 00:41:30.230
Absolutely. On earth as it is in heaven. So let's

00:41:30.230 --> 00:41:33.110
do on earth as it is in heaven. So another one.

00:41:33.309 --> 00:41:37.230
Is raised hands. Yes. In the Old Testament, we'll

00:41:37.230 --> 00:41:40.550
go back to Moses. This is Moses and Aaron and

00:41:40.550 --> 00:41:43.210
Hur, and they're the children of Israel, you

00:41:43.210 --> 00:41:44.789
know, out in the wilderness on the way to the

00:41:44.789 --> 00:41:47.789
promised land. And they're fighting against the

00:41:47.789 --> 00:41:51.110
Amalekites. They didn't have any weapons. How

00:41:51.110 --> 00:41:53.329
did they fight? Yeah. You know, they didn't have,

00:41:53.369 --> 00:41:57.949
but God just moved. And so Moses is up there.

00:41:58.210 --> 00:42:01.469
He has the rod of God in his hand. And Moses

00:42:01.469 --> 00:42:03.630
and Aaron went up to the top of the hill, and

00:42:03.630 --> 00:42:06.130
it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand,

00:42:06.349 --> 00:42:10.010
Israel prevailed. And when he let down his hand,

00:42:10.150 --> 00:42:13.809
Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands were heavy,

00:42:13.869 --> 00:42:16.510
and he was getting tired. So they took a stone,

00:42:16.550 --> 00:42:18.909
put it under him. He had been standing for hours.

00:42:19.409 --> 00:42:22.510
And he sat there, and Aaron and Hur lifted up

00:42:22.510 --> 00:42:25.130
his hands, one on one side, one on the other

00:42:25.130 --> 00:42:29.500
side. Joshua discomforted Amalek and his people

00:42:29.500 --> 00:42:31.900
with the edge of the sword. Amen. That means

00:42:31.900 --> 00:42:34.860
they probably took the Amalekites' own weapons

00:42:34.860 --> 00:42:37.780
and went after them. Yeah. I mean, that's how

00:42:37.780 --> 00:42:39.539
I would interpret that. If they didn't have any

00:42:39.539 --> 00:42:42.559
weapons prior to that, the edge of the sword

00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:45.199
or the angels had swords. You know, they could

00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:47.900
do that to them. So that was the raising of hands.

00:42:47.980 --> 00:42:52.320
And even for me personally, when we're in worship

00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:56.250
somewhere in a church, I can't sit down. I stand

00:42:56.250 --> 00:42:59.469
up and I raise my hands. I don't keep them up

00:42:59.469 --> 00:43:02.920
all the time. They'll get tired. You know, that's

00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:05.139
just how God moves them because I can feel a

00:43:05.139 --> 00:43:08.039
breakthrough in doing them. When I need a breakthrough,

00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:11.039
just praising, you know, lift my hands, praising

00:43:11.039 --> 00:43:13.599
God. And I like to think of it as your hands

00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:15.940
as a couple of lightning rods. Yes. You know,

00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:20.039
okay, Lord, here I am. Zap. What's in a light

00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:21.980
bulb? You get one of these light bulbs, you can

00:43:21.980 --> 00:43:23.780
look through it. Yeah, the incandescent kind.

00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:25.659
Incandescent. Yeah, I have two things and you

00:43:25.659 --> 00:43:28.019
got this little. Wire in the middle that gets

00:43:28.019 --> 00:43:30.519
lit when the current goes through it. Yes. You

00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:32.159
know, and you think of it that way, you know,

00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:34.840
these two little things, how you get, let the

00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:37.179
Holy Ghost light you up. Yes. You know, and he

00:43:37.179 --> 00:43:40.019
can do that very well. That's true. So there's

00:43:40.019 --> 00:43:44.559
probably other, now here it is, 1 Kings. This

00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:50.369
is out of the book, 1 Kings 8, 22 -24. And Solomon

00:43:50.369 --> 00:43:52.750
stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence

00:43:52.750 --> 00:43:55.809
of all the congregation of Israel. So this would

00:43:55.809 --> 00:43:59.150
be the dedication of the new temple. And he spread

00:43:59.150 --> 00:44:02.190
forth his hands toward heaven and he said, Ah,

00:44:02.349 --> 00:44:05.170
Lord, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like

00:44:05.170 --> 00:44:08.570
thee in heaven above on the earth beneath who

00:44:08.570 --> 00:44:11.190
keep his covenant and mercy with thy servants

00:44:11.190 --> 00:44:14.210
that walk before thee with all of their heart.

00:44:14.289 --> 00:44:16.730
And there's a key for you. Welcome before the

00:44:16.730 --> 00:44:19.510
Lord with all of your heart. Yes. Who has kept

00:44:19.510 --> 00:44:22.530
with thy servant David, my father, that thou

00:44:22.530 --> 00:44:26.050
spake also with my mouth and has fulfilled it

00:44:26.050 --> 00:44:30.230
with thy hand as it is this day. And when they

00:44:30.230 --> 00:44:33.070
did that, and that's when the glory of God came

00:44:33.070 --> 00:44:36.130
down and the priest couldn't stand because of

00:44:36.130 --> 00:44:39.909
the glory that was there. And so something happens

00:44:39.909 --> 00:44:43.030
when you raise your hand and you praise the Lord.

00:44:43.110 --> 00:44:47.309
It's like, I surrender. Yes, that is the key.

00:44:48.329 --> 00:44:50.889
And that many times in an altar call, they would

00:44:50.889 --> 00:44:54.610
say, raise your hands and just pray this after

00:44:54.610 --> 00:44:57.230
me. You're praising God when you're doing this.

00:44:57.269 --> 00:44:59.510
You're giving him honor, glory when you're doing

00:44:59.510 --> 00:45:03.090
that with your heart and it's opening up a channel

00:45:03.090 --> 00:45:06.610
within you. Yes. So you just raise your two lightning

00:45:06.610 --> 00:45:10.579
rods up and just let God move amongst you. That

00:45:10.579 --> 00:45:13.380
is such a good word. It's a part of body worship.

00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:17.199
You're getting your body involved and not just

00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:21.139
your spirit. And this is a command. Psalm 134,

00:45:21.219 --> 00:45:25.440
2, lift up your hands in the sanctuary and bless

00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:30.679
the Lord. Yes. So it's a command to raise your

00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:34.280
hands and to praise the Lord. Yes. Hallelujah.

00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:38.059
Then here's another one. This is Hebrews 12,

00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:42.329
verse 12. or for lift up the hands which hold

00:45:42.329 --> 00:45:45.250
down. Yes, yes, yes. The hands of many Christians

00:45:45.250 --> 00:45:47.829
today look like they are weighted down. They

00:45:47.829 --> 00:45:50.110
can't lift them up. It also says, and the feeble

00:45:50.110 --> 00:45:53.449
knees. It's a twofold command. The knees speak

00:45:53.449 --> 00:45:57.230
of intercessory life, and the uplifted hand speaks

00:45:57.230 --> 00:46:00.340
of a life of praise. We need both in order to

00:46:00.340 --> 00:46:03.300
keep balance. Some always pray but never praise.

00:46:03.679 --> 00:46:06.840
Others praise but never travail in prayer. True.

00:46:07.139 --> 00:46:09.880
And the easiest way to receive the baptism of

00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:12.139
the Holy Spirit is to begin to praise the Lord.

00:46:12.380 --> 00:46:15.840
True. That's how I got it. I always lead people

00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:18.039
who are seeking to be filled in a prayer, confession

00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:21.019
of faith, and then I tell them to praise the

00:46:21.019 --> 00:46:25.179
Lord. Beautiful. Yeah. And it's in the New Testament,

00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:31.719
Luke 24. verse 50, 51. And Jesus led them out

00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:35.420
as far as to Bethany, lifted up his hands and

00:46:35.420 --> 00:46:38.019
blessed them. And it came to pass while he blessed

00:46:38.019 --> 00:46:41.579
them, lifted up hands, he was parted for them

00:46:41.579 --> 00:46:44.440
and carried up into heaven. So the last thing

00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:47.920
we see Jesus do is raise his hands up in blessing.

00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:50.340
And while they're lifted up, he gets taken out

00:46:50.340 --> 00:46:52.440
of their sight into heaven. And that happens

00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:55.519
sometimes. You can be in a worship situation.

00:46:56.269 --> 00:46:59.409
And I just want to mention too that there are

00:46:59.409 --> 00:47:04.349
so many wonderful places these days that you

00:47:04.349 --> 00:47:09.030
can go and get into a worship situation, and

00:47:09.030 --> 00:47:12.769
there's lots of them online now too, where people

00:47:12.769 --> 00:47:16.250
are really, really worshiping. But when you lift

00:47:16.250 --> 00:47:20.929
your hands, it's that surrender that enables

00:47:20.929 --> 00:47:24.610
you to You're letting go. There's a letting go

00:47:24.610 --> 00:47:28.130
that can lift you higher. That just like Jesus

00:47:28.130 --> 00:47:31.630
ascended when he lifted his hands, he lifted

00:47:31.630 --> 00:47:35.309
his hands to bless. And that's a major reason

00:47:35.309 --> 00:47:37.929
to lift your hands. You bless people with your

00:47:37.929 --> 00:47:40.909
hands. And you bless God with your hands, too.

00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:45.320
Just lifting your hands in worship can help you

00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:49.179
let go of stuff and shake off the heavy bands

00:47:49.179 --> 00:47:51.539
that are keeping you earthbound so that you can

00:47:51.539 --> 00:47:54.639
rise up higher into a new place in God. We sing

00:47:54.639 --> 00:47:57.380
that song. Praise the Lord. Let all God's people

00:47:57.380 --> 00:48:00.829
praise the Lord. Shake off. Shake off those heavy

00:48:00.829 --> 00:48:02.590
bands. Shake off those heavy bands. Lift up those

00:48:02.590 --> 00:48:05.670
holy hands. Let all God's people praise the Lord.

00:48:05.710 --> 00:48:07.789
Amen. That's out of a psalm somewhere. Yeah.

00:48:07.889 --> 00:48:11.650
So to move it along, another way we have victory

00:48:11.650 --> 00:48:15.150
is through marching and walking. And that's a

00:48:15.150 --> 00:48:18.250
real key. Walk the land. That's true. When you're

00:48:18.250 --> 00:48:20.989
redeeming the land, walk the land. Prayer walking.

00:48:21.429 --> 00:48:24.809
Yes. The Lord has so many people has spoke to

00:48:24.809 --> 00:48:28.059
that. Prayer walking. It's true. And I remember

00:48:28.059 --> 00:48:30.820
it was down in Melbourne, Arkansas, I think it

00:48:30.820 --> 00:48:33.159
was. That's right. There was an intercessor there,

00:48:33.219 --> 00:48:36.360
and the Lord spoke to him to walk the city. And

00:48:36.360 --> 00:48:39.699
every day he would walk part of that city, and

00:48:39.699 --> 00:48:43.420
he died. And I think the Lord told him that as

00:48:43.420 --> 00:48:44.579
long as you walk the city. As long as you're

00:48:44.579 --> 00:48:47.159
walking, there's protection over the city. Yeah,

00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:50.059
and there won't be any tornadoes. And when he

00:48:50.059 --> 00:48:53.619
died. Nobody took his place, and it wasn't long

00:48:53.619 --> 00:48:56.599
after that a tornado hit the city. So there's

00:48:56.599 --> 00:48:59.880
power in walking and praising, like send Judah

00:48:59.880 --> 00:49:02.380
first. They sent the praisers first, marching

00:49:02.380 --> 00:49:06.320
and walking. As you're walking in every place

00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:09.260
which the sole of your foot walks, I have given

00:49:09.260 --> 00:49:11.920
unto you. And that's what the Lord spoke to.

00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:17.230
It was a Joshua. And Abraham before that. Your

00:49:17.230 --> 00:49:20.230
seed will be forever, you know. And then when

00:49:20.230 --> 00:49:23.250
Joshua, and when they put their feet in the River

00:49:23.250 --> 00:49:26.070
Jordan holding the ark, the waters held back.

00:49:26.250 --> 00:49:29.750
And then they walked through on dry ground, walking

00:49:29.750 --> 00:49:32.449
through. And every place you put the sole of

00:49:32.449 --> 00:49:34.250
your foot, and you can claim that when you prayer

00:49:34.250 --> 00:49:38.269
walk, you know, I have given unto thee for God's

00:49:38.269 --> 00:49:43.039
purposes and his and his alone. Amen. Amen. Also,

00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:45.260
there's a chapter here, Victory Through the Document

00:49:45.260 --> 00:49:48.699
of Confirmation. And I kind of, okay, what's

00:49:48.699 --> 00:49:51.199
that mean? Can I go back and grab Victory Through

00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:53.260
Shouting? Oh, yeah, sure, go right ahead. You

00:49:53.260 --> 00:49:56.500
skipped that one. Yes, I did. Sorry. There's

00:49:56.500 --> 00:49:58.599
another chapter in here called Victory Through

00:49:58.599 --> 00:50:00.300
Shouting. And we're not going to do this entire

00:50:00.300 --> 00:50:04.679
book. If you want more, go get the book. It's

00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:07.039
available on our website, globaloutpouring .org.

00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:10.480
org .net, all of them are there. All the domains

00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:13.559
go to one place. So you can get this book and

00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:16.699
you can get it either as a PDF or we'll send

00:50:16.699 --> 00:50:19.880
it to you. But this chapter is Victory Through

00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:24.159
Shouting. And Sister Gwen goes through many different

00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:27.559
words in Hebrew for the shout. And I'm not going

00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.559
to try and do all of it. But two of them are

00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:36.440
very, very important. The teruah is also one

00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:40.159
of the sounds of the shofar. So the shofar has

00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:44.039
three main sounds, and there's one that's like

00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:48.099
a long pitch, and then there's three shorter

00:50:48.099 --> 00:50:50.719
pitches. Kind of like Morse code. Yeah, it's

00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:58.820
like... And then you've got this... And it's

00:50:58.820 --> 00:51:03.650
followed by... Holy Ghost Morse code. Yeah. And

00:51:03.650 --> 00:51:07.409
this word teruah is one of those sounds, and

00:51:07.409 --> 00:51:11.250
it also means to shout. So if you don't have

00:51:11.250 --> 00:51:16.050
a shofar, you can achieve the same thing in the

00:51:16.050 --> 00:51:20.769
spirit with a shout. Your shout that comes from

00:51:20.769 --> 00:51:23.630
your spirit within you, that shout of victory,

00:51:23.789 --> 00:51:27.530
that shout of overcoming. That shout that says

00:51:27.530 --> 00:51:29.829
to the devil, you get out of here in the name

00:51:29.829 --> 00:51:32.929
of Jesus Christ. That shout, it's like it increases

00:51:32.929 --> 00:51:36.309
your authority or you're exercising your authority

00:51:36.309 --> 00:51:41.309
when you shout. Like a parent, as a child, you

00:51:41.309 --> 00:51:44.389
might not have listened until they shouted. Was

00:51:44.389 --> 00:51:47.320
that you? It kind of was me a little bit. At

00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:50.199
least maybe Dad had to show up with the flyswatter

00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:53.400
or the yardstick before I would move. But, you

00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:55.920
know, because he wasn't much of a shouter. But

00:51:55.920 --> 00:52:00.090
some parents have to shout. And when they shout,

00:52:00.210 --> 00:52:02.630
that's when the kids move. That's when there's

00:52:02.630 --> 00:52:05.449
obedience, when you finally come to that place

00:52:05.449 --> 00:52:08.710
of shouting. And so sometimes when we're in these

00:52:08.710 --> 00:52:12.929
battles, we have to realize that it takes the

00:52:12.929 --> 00:52:16.369
authority that comes in a shouting voice. Yeah,

00:52:16.389 --> 00:52:18.829
and there's that psalm. I don't know, didn't

00:52:18.829 --> 00:52:21.190
have time to look it up. Clap your hands, all

00:52:21.190 --> 00:52:23.869
ye people, shout unto God with a voice of triumph.

00:52:24.389 --> 00:52:27.030
You know, that's a song that we would sing that.

00:52:27.110 --> 00:52:30.190
Praise him, praise him. Shout unto God with a

00:52:30.190 --> 00:52:33.269
voice of praise. Yes. So it's there in the scripture,

00:52:33.510 --> 00:52:36.090
you know, shout and clapping. Yeah. You know,

00:52:36.090 --> 00:52:37.829
shouting and clapping. Shouting and clapping,

00:52:37.949 --> 00:52:39.630
absolutely. These are all things to be, you could

00:52:39.630 --> 00:52:43.329
use in warfare. Yes, yes. And sometimes, you

00:52:43.329 --> 00:52:48.659
know, you just, you know, you just do that. Clap,

00:52:48.739 --> 00:52:53.460
you know. Get out of here. You get that strength

00:52:53.460 --> 00:52:56.989
in your spirit. When you rise up and do these

00:52:56.989 --> 00:52:59.630
things, that you're expressing the strength of

00:52:59.630 --> 00:53:01.670
the Holy Spirit inside of you. Yeah, when you

00:53:01.670 --> 00:53:03.829
do something in your flesh that agrees with the

00:53:03.829 --> 00:53:08.010
Spirit, you're connecting. Yes, exactly, exactly.

00:53:08.150 --> 00:53:10.789
It's a real connect. And it has to do with making

00:53:10.789 --> 00:53:14.690
your flesh obey your Spirit. And your Spirit

00:53:14.690 --> 00:53:17.889
is one Spirit with the Holy Spirit when you're

00:53:17.889 --> 00:53:19.829
filled with the Holy Spirit, when you've asked

00:53:19.829 --> 00:53:23.360
Jesus to come into your heart. Your spirit becomes

00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:27.500
one with the Holy Spirit. And so when your body

00:53:27.500 --> 00:53:32.480
responds to what's going on in your spirit, that's

00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:37.360
what makes it takes you from 30 and 60 to 100

00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:41.760
fold where you get into a greater level or a

00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:44.679
greater realm of strength that that is being

00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:47.840
expressed. And and you have greater victory.

00:53:47.900 --> 00:53:50.940
This is about learning to defeat your enemy.

00:53:51.909 --> 00:53:55.269
One of the other chapters in this book, the victory

00:53:55.269 --> 00:53:57.650
through the document of confirmation. Oh, that's

00:53:57.650 --> 00:54:00.730
such an important one. Yeah. And the scripture

00:54:00.730 --> 00:54:05.050
here, Habakkuk, chapter 2 and verse 2 to 3. And

00:54:05.050 --> 00:54:07.730
the Lord answered me and said, write the vision

00:54:07.730 --> 00:54:10.869
and make it plain upon tables. I mean, they didn't

00:54:10.869 --> 00:54:13.590
have pen and papers in those days like we did.

00:54:13.949 --> 00:54:17.289
That he may run that reading. For the vision

00:54:17.289 --> 00:54:20.670
is yet for an appointed time. but at the end

00:54:20.670 --> 00:54:23.989
it shall speak and not lie. Though it tarry,

00:54:23.989 --> 00:54:27.329
wait for it, because it will surely come, it

00:54:27.329 --> 00:54:29.909
will not tarry. The living Bible says they will

00:54:29.909 --> 00:54:33.570
not be overdue a single day. Amen. So it's just

00:54:33.570 --> 00:54:36.519
like... And many times in spiritual warfare,

00:54:36.659 --> 00:54:38.900
the Lord will speak to people to write scriptures

00:54:38.900 --> 00:54:43.980
on sticks or spikes and bury them in the ground,

00:54:44.099 --> 00:54:46.980
an area where there's been demonic activity going

00:54:46.980 --> 00:54:49.300
on. Yes. And they're praying over the land or

00:54:49.300 --> 00:54:53.119
your own property of your own house. Yes. When

00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:55.360
you do that, they'll put scriptures in. They

00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:58.739
will pound the scriptures, recite them, and put

00:54:58.739 --> 00:55:01.500
the reference on a stick, or you can write the

00:55:01.500 --> 00:55:04.099
whole scripture on too, and you pound that into

00:55:04.099 --> 00:55:08.449
the grum. It's written. It is written. It is

00:55:08.449 --> 00:55:10.869
written. That's how Jesus overcame the devil.

00:55:10.889 --> 00:55:12.670
The devil, yeah. It is written. It is written.

00:55:12.889 --> 00:55:16.610
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Yes. So,

00:55:16.610 --> 00:55:19.150
you know, all of the prophetic words that we

00:55:19.150 --> 00:55:22.550
have in the Bible, we have them because they

00:55:22.550 --> 00:55:24.650
were written. They were written. And we have

00:55:24.650 --> 00:55:26.989
to understand the importance of writing things

00:55:26.989 --> 00:55:29.610
down. When you hear something from the Holy Spirit

00:55:29.610 --> 00:55:32.929
or you get a dream from the Lord, Write it down.

00:55:33.190 --> 00:55:36.769
It will help you when you go back to it later.

00:55:36.829 --> 00:55:39.769
You think I will remember that and you don't.

00:55:39.769 --> 00:55:42.590
I promise you, you just think you're going to

00:55:42.590 --> 00:55:47.789
remember it. And what was that? Yeah, you got

00:55:47.789 --> 00:55:50.269
to write it down. You have to. Journaling is

00:55:50.269 --> 00:55:55.510
a huge, huge blessing to you. When you hear something

00:55:55.510 --> 00:55:58.309
from the Holy Spirit, write down what you hear

00:55:58.309 --> 00:56:02.159
and you're likely to get more. That's good. That's

00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:04.280
what happens to me. I might just hear a phrase.

00:56:04.539 --> 00:56:09.079
And if I write it down, it's like opening a faucet.

00:56:09.179 --> 00:56:12.019
You know, there's more. There's more flow will

00:56:12.019 --> 00:56:15.380
come as you write down the things that God speaks

00:56:15.380 --> 00:56:18.099
to you. And so it's something that you can hold

00:56:18.099 --> 00:56:21.699
up and say, it is written. I got this word from

00:56:21.699 --> 00:56:24.199
the Lord and it is written. And when you're praying

00:56:24.199 --> 00:56:27.369
for your loved ones. One of the best ways that

00:56:27.369 --> 00:56:30.590
you can pray for them is to declare the things

00:56:30.590 --> 00:56:33.070
that God has declared over them. The scriptures

00:56:33.070 --> 00:56:35.929
that God has given you for them or the prophetic

00:56:35.929 --> 00:56:38.530
words that have been given over them or just

00:56:38.530 --> 00:56:41.070
even something that the Lord showed you. Like

00:56:41.070 --> 00:56:43.829
I'm thinking of Pastor Joel June, Bishop Joel

00:56:43.829 --> 00:56:48.670
June in Haiti. When he was a baby, the Lord spoke

00:56:48.670 --> 00:56:51.769
to his dad and said, this child is going to be

00:56:51.769 --> 00:56:54.530
used in a great way to bless this nation or bless

00:56:54.530 --> 00:56:57.119
Haiti. Something along those lines. I don't have

00:56:57.119 --> 00:57:00.400
the exact words. But his father was an evangelist

00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:03.539
and a pastor, and he was out preaching someplace.

00:57:03.739 --> 00:57:08.599
And while he was gone, little Joel died. And

00:57:08.599 --> 00:57:10.800
they waited and they waited and they waited for

00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:14.739
dad to come back, and he wasn't coming. So they

00:57:14.739 --> 00:57:17.360
put him in this little casket, and they're walking

00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:20.619
towards the cemetery carrying this little casket.

00:57:20.860 --> 00:57:24.090
And dad shows up. And he says, what's going on?

00:57:24.150 --> 00:57:27.670
Well, Joel has passed away. He's in heaven now.

00:57:27.969 --> 00:57:32.489
And he says, no, God said that he is going to

00:57:32.489 --> 00:57:36.210
be a blessing to Haiti. And he hasn't grown up

00:57:36.210 --> 00:57:38.590
yet. And he hasn't been a blessing to Haiti.

00:57:39.010 --> 00:57:42.530
We're standing on what God said. And he stopped

00:57:42.530 --> 00:57:45.190
the whole funeral procession. He said, it's time

00:57:45.190 --> 00:57:48.269
to pray. Come on, let's pray. And so they all

00:57:48.269 --> 00:57:51.389
began to pray. pressing into God and they're

00:57:51.389 --> 00:57:53.829
interceding and they're praying. And all of a

00:57:53.829 --> 00:57:57.630
sudden they hear the sound of a tiny child sneezing

00:57:57.630 --> 00:58:01.429
in the casket. And they opened up the casket

00:58:01.429 --> 00:58:05.190
and Joel was alive. Set up. He was alive. Yeah,

00:58:05.230 --> 00:58:07.809
he was alive. And he's grown up. He was dead.

00:58:07.889 --> 00:58:11.070
Yeah. Three, four days. Yeah. So he's been a

00:58:11.070 --> 00:58:13.789
mighty blessing to Haiti and he's not done being

00:58:13.789 --> 00:58:15.449
a blessing. We have a book on that too. Yes.

00:58:15.449 --> 00:58:18.719
Remember, I sneezed. I sneeze in my casket. Because

00:58:18.719 --> 00:58:22.159
God cannot lie. And that's the point. You get

00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:25.079
a word from God and you stand on it and you don't

00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:29.360
let go and you just keep pressing in and God

00:58:29.360 --> 00:58:32.519
is going to see to it that this is accomplished

00:58:32.519 --> 00:58:35.679
according to his word. Yeah. And there was one

00:58:35.679 --> 00:58:38.059
other, there was a few more chapters, but one

00:58:38.059 --> 00:58:40.380
we're not going to go into it because we have

00:58:40.380 --> 00:58:43.300
already and that's... The victory through praying

00:58:43.300 --> 00:58:46.460
in tongues. Oh, yes. That's so biggie. That is

00:58:46.460 --> 00:58:49.340
such a biggie. And I felt like we could have

00:58:49.340 --> 00:58:51.559
talked about it more when we were talking about

00:58:51.559 --> 00:58:54.179
the baptism in the Holy Spirit in that previous

00:58:54.179 --> 00:58:59.019
episode, because that is a way that the Holy

00:58:59.019 --> 00:59:02.239
Spirit prays through you. And especially when

00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:06.670
you're praying in this activation. of fighting.

00:59:06.809 --> 00:59:10.809
You're fighting and you're holding out, defeating

00:59:10.809 --> 00:59:14.829
the devil. You know, when you bring that praying

00:59:14.829 --> 00:59:17.550
in tongues, oh, you know, there's a story in

00:59:17.550 --> 00:59:20.650
there that Sister Gwen told in that chapter that

00:59:20.650 --> 00:59:24.230
I think I need to bring, where she was in Hong

00:59:24.230 --> 00:59:28.289
Kong and this woman from the church was praying

00:59:28.289 --> 00:59:30.530
in tongues. She was at the altar and she's mourning

00:59:30.530 --> 00:59:33.469
and she's weeping and she's praying in English.

00:59:34.170 --> 00:59:37.269
And she didn't speak English. And it was, oh,

00:59:37.409 --> 00:59:40.650
Lord. Oh, Lord, please forgive me for my sin.

00:59:40.869 --> 00:59:44.610
Oh, God. Oh, God, please forgive me for my sin.

00:59:44.670 --> 00:59:48.469
I've sinned. Please help me. Please help me.

00:59:48.710 --> 00:59:52.309
And it turns out that Sister Gwen talked with

00:59:52.309 --> 00:59:54.750
her afterwards in English, and the woman just

00:59:54.750 --> 00:59:58.489
looked at her blank. She had no idea what Sister

00:59:58.489 --> 01:00:02.269
Gwen was saying. And then she questioned her

01:00:02.269 --> 01:00:05.440
some more. Because the Holy Spirit had kind of

01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:09.920
told on her. And so she found out that she had

01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:14.239
been going to the horse races and gambling. Okay.

01:00:14.500 --> 01:00:21.079
And so the Holy Spirit was being faithful to

01:00:21.079 --> 01:00:24.559
help her to pray through in an area that she

01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:31.340
wasn't even intending to confess. But her soul

01:00:31.340 --> 01:00:34.099
was. troubled because she knew she was sinning.

01:00:34.599 --> 01:00:36.960
And then there was another time, I just have

01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:39.119
to bring this, this is so important. There was

01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:42.159
another time that she was in Pakistan and she

01:00:42.159 --> 01:00:45.199
heard this young man speaking out and it was

01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:47.780
like kind of prophecy, kind of intercession.

01:00:48.039 --> 01:00:51.679
And he was saying like this, where's the church?

01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:54.760
Where's the church? It is so faulty. It's coming

01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:57.719
short. Where's it going? Where's it going? So

01:00:57.719 --> 01:01:00.380
many churches. Where's the salt? It's not his

01:01:00.380 --> 01:01:03.619
fault. No, no. It's the church's fault. And so

01:01:03.619 --> 01:01:06.400
he was interceding for the backslidden church.

01:01:06.980 --> 01:01:10.199
And he didn't speak any English either. Wow.

01:01:10.880 --> 01:01:14.280
So we've heard of other stories like that, where

01:01:14.280 --> 01:01:18.219
in tongues you can be praying in another language,

01:01:18.260 --> 01:01:21.480
and you can be giving people in the room instructions

01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:25.639
in their language without you even having a clue.

01:01:25.780 --> 01:01:29.420
Yeah, it's a way of prophesying to people in

01:01:29.420 --> 01:01:32.539
another language, and it's a way of interceding

01:01:32.539 --> 01:01:36.179
in a way that the Holy Spirit knows what we need

01:01:36.179 --> 01:01:39.980
to pray for as we ought. Wow. I mean, when we

01:01:39.980 --> 01:01:42.559
don't know, he knows what we should be praying.

01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:46.059
So we didn't cover the whole book, obviously.

01:01:46.380 --> 01:01:48.800
I think you'll probably want to get this book

01:01:48.800 --> 01:01:52.880
and go deeper because we are all about helping

01:01:52.880 --> 01:01:56.679
you to defeat your enemy. And these are several

01:01:56.679 --> 01:01:59.880
strategies that will help you in your battles.

01:02:00.059 --> 01:02:02.380
So let's just pray. Philip, do you want to pray

01:02:02.380 --> 01:02:04.400
for our listeners? Well, Father, we thank you

01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:07.309
for... Lord, your battle plan. Yes. Because,

01:02:07.309 --> 01:02:11.010
Lord, we are all going through battles one way

01:02:11.010 --> 01:02:14.090
or another, either for ourself or for someone

01:02:14.090 --> 01:02:16.989
else or something else. So we thank you, Lord,

01:02:17.090 --> 01:02:19.829
that through your word, your instruction, Lord,

01:02:19.969 --> 01:02:22.550
that, Lord, your wisdom, Lord, when we ask you

01:02:22.550 --> 01:02:25.289
for wisdom that, Father, that you give it, Father,

01:02:25.369 --> 01:02:27.809
and how to pray when we don't know ourselves.

01:02:28.150 --> 01:02:31.349
Yes. So we thank you, Lord, that, Lord, you have

01:02:31.349 --> 01:02:34.739
so many strategies. Lord, to fight the devil.

01:02:34.780 --> 01:02:37.860
And Lord, by seeking you and knowing you, finding

01:02:37.860 --> 01:02:41.760
out the individual strategy for individual battles.

01:02:41.880 --> 01:02:45.440
And Father, that we can walk in victory through

01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:48.139
knowing you, through your precious blood, through

01:02:48.139 --> 01:02:52.059
worshiping you, and keeping an open contact with

01:02:52.059 --> 01:02:54.440
the Holy Spirit. So we give you all the glory

01:02:54.440 --> 01:02:58.559
in your name, Lord Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen, and

01:02:58.559 --> 01:03:06.030
