(319) "Expect More Supernatural Experiences as You Grow in God" with Bruce and Reshma Allen

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.919
He heard there was an earthquake and all of a

00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:04.219
sudden these angels came and grabbed him and

00:00:04.219 --> 00:00:06.360
took him. And there was a fallen building and

00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.259
he's standing on, you know, it's at an angle.

00:00:08.339 --> 00:00:10.679
First responders and that said, get off of there.

00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:12.500
You know, it's dangerous. It's going to collapse.

00:00:13.099 --> 00:00:18.079
But he heard a child. And so he dug himself into

00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:19.820
there and found this child and brought this child

00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:22.640
out and handed him back to the first responders.

00:00:23.219 --> 00:00:26.339
And then the angels brought him home. Yeah. Wow.

00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.280
Yeah, we need to be first responders in that

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:36.920
way. God promises in Joel 2 .28 to pour out of

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.140
His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:42.219
Outpouring. Are we content for that promised

00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:45.340
outpouring? We equip for that outpouring so that

00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:48.240
we may engage in that very outpouring. I'm Philip

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.679
Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to the podcast

00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:55.560
today. We have with us as our guests today Bruce

00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.939
and Reshma Allen, who are coming in September

00:00:58.939 --> 00:01:04.510
2026 to be with us and have their school. The

00:01:04.510 --> 00:01:07.989
School of the Supernatural Translation by Faith.

00:01:08.269 --> 00:01:11.870
And it is amazing. This will be about their fifth

00:01:11.870 --> 00:01:14.950
time here, I think it is. And they come and they

00:01:14.950 --> 00:01:18.670
teach these wonderful things of God about the

00:01:18.670 --> 00:01:21.730
supernatural things that are supposed to be natural

00:01:21.730 --> 00:01:25.090
to us. So we're going to have a wonderful conversation

00:01:25.090 --> 00:01:28.290
about the great things that God is doing, the

00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:30.890
supernatural things that come as you grow in

00:01:30.890 --> 00:01:36.799
God. Thanks so much for joining us today. We

is a thing that we love to do to reach the nations

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.800
and to build people up and to equip people for

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.240
the things that are coming in the great outpouring

00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.340
of the Holy Spirit. It's not going to come only

00:02:55.340 --> 00:02:57.960
just as wonderful things. Some of it will be

00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.479
the best of times, and some of it will be the

00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.439
worst of times. But as we're equipped for it,

00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.460
we'll be ready, and God will pour out His Spirit

00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:10.530
in amazing ways, and we get to participate. Well,

00:03:10.569 --> 00:03:12.849
Bruce and Reshma Allen, it is our delight to

00:03:12.849 --> 00:03:15.210
have you with us again on the Global Outpouring

00:03:15.210 --> 00:03:17.810
Podcast. Thanks so much for joining us today.

00:03:18.110 --> 00:03:20.729
Well, thank you so much for having us. It's always

00:03:20.729 --> 00:03:23.969
fun to hang out with you guys. Well, we like

00:03:23.969 --> 00:03:27.349
hanging out with you too. You're just so far

00:03:27.349 --> 00:03:30.069
away. Yeah, but we like having you as house guests.

00:03:30.210 --> 00:03:32.289
I think that's really amazing. When you come

00:03:32.289 --> 00:03:34.750
for the School of the Supernatural Translation

00:03:34.750 --> 00:03:37.789
by Faith, which how many times have we done this

00:03:37.789 --> 00:03:41.560
now? I think that's four or five. Maybe this

00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.819
will be the fifth one. And every time I get more.

00:03:45.060 --> 00:03:47.099
I know that the Lord gives you more downloads

00:03:47.099 --> 00:03:50.560
every time in between, but it's like I get more.

00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.800
I get more every time. Can you just give us an

00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.400
introduction as to what this school is so that

00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.560
our listeners and watchers, viewers, so that

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.879
our listeners and viewers who aren't familiar

00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.620
with you will have an opportunity to understand

00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:07.199
what this school is all about? Sure, but I like

00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.800
your... slip of the tongue, listeners and doers.

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:15.340
That's perfect. But the Lord challenged us in

00:04:15.340 --> 00:04:19.060
the year 2000 about, can a man be translated

00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:23.000
or translocated by faith like Elijah, like Philip,

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.779
like Enoch, and on and on. That was so far off

00:04:26.779 --> 00:04:28.899
my grid, I didn't even know where to begin. So

00:04:28.899 --> 00:04:33.579
over the course of the last 25, 26 years, As

00:04:33.579 --> 00:04:36.139
we've studied this, every time we teach, he's

00:04:36.139 --> 00:04:38.379
added extra, more, more, more, because it's line

00:04:38.379 --> 00:04:41.319
upon line and precept upon precept. And I think

00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:46.199
we've had, what, 39 schools? Our largest one

00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.100
was just last fall in Korea with 450 students

00:04:49.100 --> 00:04:52.699
that were desperately hungry for the things of

00:04:52.699 --> 00:04:56.899
God. The shift in that area alone is phenomenal.

00:04:57.100 --> 00:04:59.740
But we've seen so many people's lives touched

00:04:59.740 --> 00:05:01.959
and affected having encounters with the Lord.

00:05:02.329 --> 00:05:05.850
actually having translocation experiences. But

00:05:05.850 --> 00:05:08.069
bottom line is falling in love with the Word

00:05:08.069 --> 00:05:10.389
of God and the God of the Word more. That's the

00:05:10.389 --> 00:05:14.009
bottom line. You know, in Christ, there's nothing

00:05:14.009 --> 00:05:16.730
that is impossible within the bounds of the Word.

00:05:16.850 --> 00:05:20.189
I want to keep it in that realm of truth. But

00:05:20.189 --> 00:05:23.569
it's been good for Reshma and I, but it's also

00:05:23.569 --> 00:05:26.930
a now word I firmly believe. And what we're seeing

00:05:26.930 --> 00:05:29.370
happening in the world now is exactly what he

00:05:29.370 --> 00:05:32.290
showed me. was going to be going on and why we're

00:05:32.290 --> 00:05:35.649
going to need this. We just found out about a

00:05:35.649 --> 00:05:39.250
week ago that 40, 50 ,000 flights have been canceled

00:05:39.250 --> 00:05:42.490
and routes are being canceled because of the

00:05:42.490 --> 00:05:45.589
cost of jet fuel has doubled. So people have

00:05:45.589 --> 00:05:48.189
been left stranded and it's getting more and

00:05:48.189 --> 00:05:50.170
more difficult. And if you do get a flight, it's

00:05:50.170 --> 00:05:53.029
more and more expensive. So we're in that season

00:05:53.029 --> 00:05:56.589
where this is becoming true to the vision and

00:05:56.589 --> 00:06:00.379
what God called us to teach for this hour. And

00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:02.319
he said that there would come a time when you

00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.779
would need to be able to translate because travel

00:06:04.779 --> 00:06:07.519
would be impossible. Isn't that about what was

00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.459
said? Oh, absolutely, yeah. We see that the Word

00:06:10.459 --> 00:06:13.920
of God is full of supernatural acts of God. God's

00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.100
people are going to be unstoppable. It doesn't

00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:20.540
matter what... what comes upon us on our nations

00:06:20.540 --> 00:06:23.860
and the seasons we go through. It's amazing.

00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.920
He can use us anywhere he wants. And one of the

00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.740
ways that he chose in the scriptures we see was

00:06:29.740 --> 00:06:33.120
that people being translated, being taken, you

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.279
know, natural disasters all over the world. And

00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.399
there is people needing help, different parts

00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.120
of the world that are in difficult situations.

00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.259
And we have always believed that there is going

00:06:44.259 --> 00:06:48.060
to be a group of people in this hour. The times

00:06:48.060 --> 00:06:50.639
and seasons we live in, God's secret service

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.300
that they will just appear and take care of what

00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:55.300
needs to be taken care of. Nobody would know

00:06:55.300 --> 00:07:01.480
and then come back home. So in school, we have

00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.160
such a great time because we have a classroom

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.040
and we have students that come and we are able

00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:11.819
to go into greater depth of what it really means.

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.860
all the supernatural acts of God, and one of

00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:18.500
them being transported. And students have a chance

00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:23.220
to ask questions. We participate, and it's just

00:07:23.220 --> 00:07:26.220
like... Practice and activate. Practice and activate,

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.259
and it's on a very personal level. Classroom

00:07:29.259 --> 00:07:32.079
setting is always great. I've always liked that.

00:07:32.259 --> 00:07:35.579
In every school, we have new testimonies of things

00:07:35.579 --> 00:07:38.800
happening with people that are actually walking

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.930
in this frequently. So it's powerful. Wonderful.

00:07:42.930 --> 00:07:45.329
That's tremendous. Reshma, when you were talking,

00:07:45.470 --> 00:07:48.250
it reminded me of the story that you tell of

00:07:48.250 --> 00:07:51.069
a dream that you had on a Saturday night. Can

00:07:51.069 --> 00:07:54.269
you tell us that story? Yes. I believe I've shared

00:07:54.269 --> 00:07:59.600
it before. But it's good to tell it again. Yes.

00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:02.139
So we were ministering in a place in the United

00:08:02.139 --> 00:08:05.079
States. I think it was Wisconsin. And it was

00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.000
a Saturday night. I went to bed and I was having

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:12.240
this very vivid, very real dream and seeing myself

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.100
going up and down the coast of an Asian country

00:08:16.100 --> 00:08:19.560
and helping people, telling them, warning them,

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.980
go to a higher ground because a huge wave is

00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:26.720
coming. And people were listening. Some were

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.279
listening and going up. I was just helping them.

00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.160
And they knew something was happening in the

00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.980
atmosphere. All night long, it was so real. Like

00:08:35.980 --> 00:08:38.639
real as I can touch and see my husband right

00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.360
now. That real. All night long. And I got up,

00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.179
took a bathroom break, went back. back to bed

00:08:44.179 --> 00:08:46.600
and same thing happened again. And in the morning

00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.960
when I woke up and my husband was getting ready

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.200
for church, we were going to go speak in a church.

00:08:51.299 --> 00:08:53.679
And I said, honey, I need to turn the TV on.

00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:56.720
And he's like, Reshma, you know, we do not turn

00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.080
TVs on in the, you know, I said, no, in the hotel.

00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:06.279
But I'm not wanting to watch TV. There is something

00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.360
that has happened in the world that I just...

00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.120
like to see what's going on, if there's some

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.700
kind of news. So I turned on the TV and tsunami

00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:17.080
in Japan had just happened. That big tsunami

00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:20.340
how many years ago now. And it just hit me so

00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:22.659
hard. And I'm like, I started telling him what

00:09:22.659 --> 00:09:25.220
happened last night. It was so real. Was I there?

00:09:25.340 --> 00:09:27.419
I believe with all of my heart, I was there.

00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:32.399
Absolutely. Yeah. So God can use us. We have

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.279
to just make ourselves available, I believe.

00:09:34.929 --> 00:09:37.970
Yes, yes. And lots of people are probably having

00:09:37.970 --> 00:09:40.889
dreams like that where it's so vivid and they

00:09:40.889 --> 00:09:45.529
just, wow, that was so real. I can't imagine

00:09:45.529 --> 00:09:48.850
what I dreamed. But, you know, I'm pretty sure

00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:51.049
they probably are really doing that, you know,

00:09:51.049 --> 00:09:53.289
when they have such a vivid dream and they're

00:09:53.289 --> 00:09:55.570
ministering in some way, meeting somebody's needs,

00:09:55.730 --> 00:09:58.730
helping somebody. It's the real thing. Yeah,

00:09:58.809 --> 00:10:00.950
more and more, you know, as I've walked this

00:10:00.950 --> 00:10:04.740
out, you always know when you have dreams. that

00:10:04.740 --> 00:10:09.000
are other than your normal life. Especially one

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.620
of the big tales is how vivid the impression

00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:16.259
sticks. Most dreams you have at night, they fade

00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:21.019
away and you forget. So I found myself ministering

00:10:21.019 --> 00:10:22.799
different places, and I've actually had people

00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.600
come up in conferences and said, you know, you

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.340
came and taught and did this and that and the

00:10:27.340 --> 00:10:30.000
other thing, and so it somewhat corroborates.

00:10:30.830 --> 00:10:32.730
You know, I said, well, no, I was back home,

00:10:32.809 --> 00:10:35.769
but I leave the mystery to God. I just walk in

00:10:35.769 --> 00:10:38.129
the faith and say, okay, Lord, if that's you,

00:10:38.190 --> 00:10:40.070
wonderful. If it's not wonderful, I've earned.

00:10:40.610 --> 00:10:43.029
Amen. More and more, this is happening, not just

00:10:43.029 --> 00:10:46.210
to a select few, but to multitudes of people.

00:10:46.590 --> 00:10:50.029
Yeah. Yeah. And that's just one aspect of this

00:10:50.029 --> 00:10:53.070
translation we're talking about. And it's the

00:10:53.070 --> 00:10:56.029
simplest form. Why? Because you are removed.

00:10:56.590 --> 00:11:00.850
Your intellect is not. blocking or in the ascendant

00:11:00.850 --> 00:11:03.649
position where you can reason away. No, you're

00:11:03.649 --> 00:11:07.009
in that slumber state where God can take your

00:11:07.009 --> 00:11:09.649
spirit, man, and your soul and operate that way.

00:11:10.029 --> 00:11:13.750
Okay. So you mentioned other aspects. Tell us

00:11:13.750 --> 00:11:15.769
a little bit more what that means. Other than

00:11:15.769 --> 00:11:19.169
dreams. Yeah. Well, you have dreams. Some people

00:11:19.169 --> 00:11:22.669
have, like Mariah Woodworth -Edder, she would

00:11:22.669 --> 00:11:26.399
go into a trance. and would actually step into

00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.620
heaven. Her body's there. It's immobile. It's

00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:34.440
frozen. But her real man, the inner man, was

00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.379
there interacting with the heavenly realm. And

00:11:37.379 --> 00:11:39.580
that's one aspect, too. You're caught up into

00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:41.639
the third heaven where they're through vision,

00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.320
again, through dreams, or actually physically.

00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.759
That's happened. Yeah. That's one thing. The

00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.710
other aspect would be geographic. Or the Lord

00:11:52.710 --> 00:11:56.029
specifically takes you somewhere to minister

00:11:56.029 --> 00:12:00.309
and then brings you back. So that's really the

00:12:00.309 --> 00:12:02.590
three areas at this point that we look at. But

00:12:02.590 --> 00:12:06.629
none of it is for boasting purposes. Right. It's

00:12:06.629 --> 00:12:10.750
not to build a ministry. And you will find those

00:12:10.750 --> 00:12:15.429
that made a big deal out of this lost their effectiveness

00:12:15.429 --> 00:12:18.049
and very soon fell away from even walking in

00:12:18.049 --> 00:12:21.840
it. It's not to be building you up or your ministry

00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.759
up or selling videos or tapes. It's to accomplish

00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:29.720
the purposes of God, period. Amen. Amen. Absolutely.

00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.899
Well, that kind of brings me to address the book

00:12:33.899 --> 00:12:35.919
that you brought with you. It was new when you

00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.509
came here last September. In fact, maybe I'll

00:12:38.509 --> 00:12:41.649
just mention the dates of this upcoming school

00:12:41.649 --> 00:12:44.990
are September 7th through 12th, right here in

00:12:44.990 --> 00:12:47.590
our headquarters at Angletall Valley of Angels.

00:12:48.009 --> 00:12:52.509
And we have the registration form up on our website,

00:12:52.690 --> 00:12:55.730
globaloutpouring .org. You can go there to the

00:12:55.730 --> 00:12:59.090
events tab and you can sign up for that. There's

00:12:59.090 --> 00:13:02.169
all kinds of details there. But last time you

00:13:02.169 --> 00:13:05.190
came, you had just published a book called What's

00:13:05.190 --> 00:13:09.330
in a Name. And I've been reading the book and

00:13:09.330 --> 00:13:12.730
I like it. And I want to open the floor to you,

00:13:12.909 --> 00:13:15.610
Bruce, to give us a little bit of teaching out

00:13:15.610 --> 00:13:18.250
of that book about the different covenants and

00:13:18.250 --> 00:13:20.149
what it's like to walk in the character of the

00:13:20.149 --> 00:13:23.889
Lord. Well, that book came from a challenge by

00:13:23.889 --> 00:13:26.690
the Lord back in the year 2000 again. And he

00:13:26.690 --> 00:13:28.649
said, I want you to study one word this next

00:13:28.649 --> 00:13:31.490
year. And the word was name. At first, you know,

00:13:31.490 --> 00:13:33.629
he says one word, you think, oh, this is going

00:13:33.629 --> 00:13:37.759
to be light duty. I studied that for years. I

00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.320
still study because there's so much more to this.

00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.539
And it was so other, excuse me, than anything

00:13:43.539 --> 00:13:47.720
I'd ever heard from anybody that it transformed

00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:53.059
my life. But in the Old Covenant, over 384 uses

00:13:53.059 --> 00:13:56.159
of the word name in every instance, but two,

00:13:56.179 --> 00:13:58.100
it spoke of character, honor, and authority.

00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:03.179
In the New Testament, 200 and some times. In

00:14:03.179 --> 00:14:06.220
every instance but one, it's character and authority.

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:09.820
So if I just took out the word name and put in

00:14:09.820 --> 00:14:13.600
the significant meaning of that, it changes the

00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.539
whole dynamic of what you're reading and gives

00:14:15.539 --> 00:14:18.799
you greater insight. See, in Western culture,

00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:23.259
names are usually labels. They're a tag your

00:14:23.259 --> 00:14:27.039
parents liked the sound of, or maybe it had historic

00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.139
precedence in the family, but it identifies you

00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:33.149
in a crowd. Use it to fill in blanks on paperwork,

00:14:33.490 --> 00:14:36.110
you know. And that's what people call you. But

00:14:36.110 --> 00:14:39.889
it doesn't define you. You could change your

00:14:39.889 --> 00:14:42.049
name tomorrow and nothing essential about you

00:14:42.049 --> 00:14:46.450
would change. But in Hebrew, I mean, Hebrew disagrees

00:14:46.450 --> 00:14:49.950
so violently with this that if you understand

00:14:49.950 --> 00:14:52.529
that one word, it'll reshape everything we know.

00:14:52.970 --> 00:14:56.830
And that's what happened. And that word in Hebrew

00:14:56.830 --> 00:15:00.799
is shem. It means name, but in Hebrew, a name

00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:05.740
is not a label. A name is a declaration of essence.

00:15:06.580 --> 00:15:10.399
True. And so it carries identity, authority,

00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.100
character, reputation, and destiny compressed

00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:19.220
into one spoken word. So when you know someone's

00:15:19.220 --> 00:15:22.200
shem in Hebrew thought, you don't just know what

00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:28.039
to call them. You know who they are. Yeah. And

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.679
so we don't really have that concept in Western

00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:36.039
culture. That's why names in Scripture were not

00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:40.179
a casual thing. And you find, you know, even

00:15:40.179 --> 00:15:44.120
the angel said, you shall call his name because

00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:47.419
of the specific call and destiny upon that life.

00:15:47.899 --> 00:15:51.659
Yes. It's interesting. Christians try and give

00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:55.269
a biblical name, which is okay. Still without

00:15:55.269 --> 00:15:57.509
understanding the import and the weight of what

00:15:57.509 --> 00:16:00.990
they're doing. We've lost sight of some of that.

00:16:01.889 --> 00:16:04.649
And I think that's why this is a personal opinion.

00:16:04.730 --> 00:16:07.470
This isn't a scriptural foundational thing. But

00:16:07.470 --> 00:16:09.350
I think that's why so many in the church are

00:16:09.350 --> 00:16:12.309
confused and lose their way. There's power in

00:16:12.309 --> 00:16:14.750
speaking forth the destiny, the essence, the

00:16:14.750 --> 00:16:17.850
character of an individual daily into their lives.

00:16:18.909 --> 00:16:22.029
Because it builds. Your spirit understands it.

00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:24.759
But if we just have, you know, here comes Yadu,

00:16:24.899 --> 00:16:28.820
Yadu, what does that do? You know what I'm saying?

00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:33.639
It's different. So when the Lord Yahweh changed

00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.100
Abram's name to Abraham, he wasn't updating a

00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:43.419
file. He was rewriting a destiny. Yes. That's

00:16:43.419 --> 00:16:45.860
why each one of us has a new name written down

00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:48.559
in glory. We can sing that together. Because

00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.950
God. alone knows our destiny. And some will say,

00:16:52.029 --> 00:16:54.129
well, then if he's got a name for me, what's

00:16:54.129 --> 00:16:57.690
the worry down here? Because it helps to shape

00:16:57.690 --> 00:17:01.009
you in preparation for that destiny. And as we've

00:17:01.009 --> 00:17:03.169
studied through the scripture, as I did for this

00:17:03.169 --> 00:17:07.390
book, What's in a Name, I discover they could

00:17:07.390 --> 00:17:10.150
never fulfill the full purpose of their life

00:17:10.150 --> 00:17:12.470
and destiny without the change of character,

00:17:12.569 --> 00:17:15.759
the change of their name. To incorporate, Abram

00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:19.259
became Abraham, a derivative of God's name. So

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:22.279
there's got to be a fusion together with the

00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.220
book of destiny and the king of destiny in order

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:28.640
to fulfill your destiny. That's the essence of

00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:31.279
that. So it says, the third commandment, you

00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:34.819
shall not take the Shem of Yahweh, your Elohim,

00:17:34.819 --> 00:17:38.500
in vain. Okay, what does that mean? Well, the

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:42.619
Hebrew word vain is Shav, which means emptiness.

00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:49.059
falsehood, worthlessness. So the commandment

00:17:49.059 --> 00:17:51.660
is not about just the profanity as in emptying

00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:54.500
his name of his weight. It's treating the name

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:57.839
that holds all of his character, authority, and

00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:00.440
covenant faithfulness as if it were lightweight,

00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.400
common, and disposable. There's no reverence.

00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:08.000
There's no awe. There's no understanding of the

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.019
significance. That's why the Hebrews, the ancient

00:18:11.019 --> 00:18:13.950
Hebrews, because of their understanding, said,

00:18:14.009 --> 00:18:15.829
we're not even going to pronounce the name unless

00:18:15.829 --> 00:18:20.529
we do this. And that's why they buried it. Yeah.

00:18:21.170 --> 00:18:23.450
Because they, now I think they took it to an

00:18:23.450 --> 00:18:27.329
extreme. He gave his name to be used. And so

00:18:27.329 --> 00:18:31.410
religion will, of course, overkill. But that's

00:18:31.410 --> 00:18:35.650
the weight of what name means in Scripture. And

00:18:35.650 --> 00:18:39.180
we've lost that. And so, you know, we have a

00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:41.180
tendency in our cultures, and I'm guilty of this

00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:43.140
because I was brought up a family. We're always

00:18:43.140 --> 00:18:46.500
kicking around and joking. But we make up names

00:18:46.500 --> 00:18:49.440
for each other that are not necessarily good.

00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.980
You know? Fortunately, my nickname was Lightfoot.

00:18:54.019 --> 00:18:58.960
That one was okay. Not bad. But, I mean, you

00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.880
know what I'm saying. So we're glib with our

00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:04.220
tongue, not recognizing the authority of the

00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:07.059
believer that's in us as we. spew this forth

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:10.680
and we build a destiny in somebody. And so that's

00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:13.579
the essence of the book. So when you go to the

00:19:13.579 --> 00:19:17.240
new covenant, where two or more of you are gathered

00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:21.140
together in my character, my essence, the weight

00:19:21.140 --> 00:19:24.240
of who I am, there I am in the midst of that.

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:27.180
But so often we come with that other mentality.

00:19:27.259 --> 00:19:29.599
It's a magic formula. We just speak it and it

00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:33.700
happens. That's not biblical. And that's, again,

00:19:33.859 --> 00:19:38.500
my own opinion. That's why I think as we walk

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:41.619
longer with the Lord and He expects a greater

00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:44.920
level of maturity, we don't often see as many

00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.240
prayers answered because we are no longer children

00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.920
that need His help so much, but you're learning

00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:54.359
to walk on your own. You have to have basic biblical

00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:58.079
understanding and respect for the Word of God

00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.200
and the God of the Word. Wow. You also mention

00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.410
in that book about the different covenants. The

00:20:04.410 --> 00:20:08.890
blood covenant of servanthood, the salt covenant

00:20:08.890 --> 00:20:12.950
of friendship. Perfect. Sandal covenant. Sandal

00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:16.869
covenant. Sonship. Sonship. And then there's

00:20:16.869 --> 00:20:20.609
a bridal covenant. Right. Levels of intimacy.

00:20:21.369 --> 00:20:27.789
Yes. So, again, in John 1, 12, it says, as many

00:20:27.789 --> 00:20:29.769
as have received him to them, he gives the right

00:20:29.769 --> 00:20:35.559
to become children of God. Whereas we were all

00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:37.079
taught the moment you're born again, you're a

00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:39.940
child of God. But that is not the biblical precedent.

00:20:41.099 --> 00:20:43.519
Once you're born again, you are born again. Now

00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:47.259
you are a servant. Entry level, blood covenant.

00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:51.599
Okay. And it's the only covenant that must be

00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:56.039
renewed every day. What? Well, for the believer

00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.049
in this dispensation, that means if I... Grieve

00:21:00.049 --> 00:21:02.789
Holy Spirit. If I sin, I can be quick to repent

00:21:02.789 --> 00:21:06.509
because the blood of Jesus covers a multitude

00:21:06.509 --> 00:21:08.890
of sins. So it's upon the priesthood in my heart

00:21:08.890 --> 00:21:13.589
to apply that blood. Yes. So it's the only one

00:21:13.589 --> 00:21:15.990
that's got to be renewed every day in it. When

00:21:15.990 --> 00:21:17.869
you enter into the second level of covenant,

00:21:18.029 --> 00:21:20.349
which is the salt covenant or friendship, it

00:21:20.349 --> 00:21:23.950
doesn't do away with servant. Right. I mean,

00:21:23.970 --> 00:21:26.130
even Jesus, the last thing he did at the Last

00:21:26.130 --> 00:21:29.420
Supper. He washed their feet as a servant, yet

00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:32.259
he was the prophet, priest, and king, and soon

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:35.880
to be recognized as Messiah, but he still had

00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:39.579
the servant's heart. And so it's not done away

00:21:39.579 --> 00:21:44.079
with. And then it's just added to. So now you're

00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:47.420
servant, you have a measure of relationship,

00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:50.619
but a friend has a greater measure of relationship.

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:54.259
Jesus even said of his disciples, I no longer

00:21:54.259 --> 00:21:57.930
call you servants. But friends, why? Because

00:21:57.930 --> 00:21:59.930
everything the Father's telling me, I'm telling

00:21:59.930 --> 00:22:05.130
you. Yeah. That's huge. After that comes the

00:22:05.130 --> 00:22:07.329
sandal covenant, which speaks of sonship. And

00:22:07.329 --> 00:22:10.049
that's based on when they came into the promised

00:22:10.049 --> 00:22:13.430
land, those sandals that carried them through

00:22:13.430 --> 00:22:16.170
the world, Egypt's a type of the world, and finally

00:22:16.170 --> 00:22:19.230
brought them into the promised land. It was the

00:22:19.230 --> 00:22:21.509
boundaries of their inheritance as they entered

00:22:21.509 --> 00:22:24.089
in the promised land. That was their starting

00:22:24.089 --> 00:22:29.019
point. So what we do in this life establishes

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:31.940
a boundary where we begin in the eternal realm

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:37.539
and we grow from there. So if you get saved at

00:22:37.539 --> 00:22:40.160
the last minute, your boundary is pretty small.

00:22:40.259 --> 00:22:41.779
That doesn't mean you're not saved, but that's

00:22:41.779 --> 00:22:44.460
your starting point. That's all. And now you

00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:47.519
progress. One thing I found really interesting

00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:52.420
is that archaeologists in Israel have found these...

00:22:53.399 --> 00:22:58.400
footprint or sandal print, huge, huge areas that

00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.880
are marking out significant places. And Gilgal

00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:04.380
was one of them, which was where they first came

00:23:04.380 --> 00:23:07.880
across and they renewed the covenants of circumcision

00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:10.380
there. I don't know how many there are, but I

00:23:10.380 --> 00:23:12.680
know there's more than two, or at least I know

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:15.079
for sure there's two. And there might, there's

00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:17.869
probably more. haven't followed up on that. I

00:23:17.869 --> 00:23:20.289
just saw it some time ago, but I thought that

00:23:20.289 --> 00:23:22.849
was really interesting that this kind of really

00:23:22.849 --> 00:23:25.069
fits with the sandal covenant of your boundaries.

00:23:25.549 --> 00:23:30.049
Yeah. And recognize too, it was those, the children

00:23:30.049 --> 00:23:32.150
that went into the promised land because the

00:23:32.150 --> 00:23:35.430
adults had murmured, complained, backed by wine,

00:23:35.529 --> 00:23:38.390
you know, their maturity did not allow them to

00:23:38.390 --> 00:23:40.430
enter into the fullness of the covenantal promise.

00:23:40.910 --> 00:23:47.319
Still servants. Yeah. Maybe friends. But no,

00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:54.900
Moses and Joshua, friends. And then the promise.

00:23:55.299 --> 00:23:57.880
So there's so many parallels we can look at.

00:23:58.980 --> 00:24:00.980
And then the final, of course, is the bridal.

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:04.700
That's the greatest level of intimacy. Stogne

00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:06.720
speaks of the intimacy of a husband and wife.

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:09.420
So, and you know, the husband and wife finally

00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:11.039
get to the point they can look at each other

00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:13.289
and communicate. Because they've been together

00:24:13.289 --> 00:24:15.849
so long and they understand what each thinks.

00:24:16.490 --> 00:24:19.930
So that's the picture, four major covenants,

00:24:19.950 --> 00:24:24.990
that the Lord, once Adam and Eve fell, immediately

00:24:24.990 --> 00:24:28.150
initiated the blood covenant. He slew an animal,

00:24:28.210 --> 00:24:31.049
covered them, so that they could come back into

00:24:31.049 --> 00:24:34.470
this place of intimacy, bridal intimacy. That

00:24:34.470 --> 00:24:37.750
was his design. And so it's all about the name,

00:24:37.849 --> 00:24:40.720
the character, the name. Absolutely. Beautiful.

00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:45.380
Absolutely. It's so important that we don't just

00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:49.660
stop at getting born again. There's a whole lifelong

00:24:49.660 --> 00:24:54.160
discipleship and growing in, as you said, growing

00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:57.579
in relationship with the Lord. It's so significant.

00:24:57.900 --> 00:25:00.079
I've had this discussion with people. I mean,

00:25:00.140 --> 00:25:04.799
years ago when I was in the military, I had friends

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.839
in there that say, well, I got saved, I'm a Baptist,

00:25:08.059 --> 00:25:09.859
once saved, always saved, and they go out and

00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:13.599
live like the devil himself. That's not how that

00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:18.039
works. No, it's not. And yet I do know it's the

00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:20.380
grace and mercy of God that puts within us a

00:25:20.380 --> 00:25:24.480
desire to know Him more. Yes. And I know within

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.680
those guys that I'm talking about that I remember

00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.039
that desire was there, but they kept ignoring

00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.660
it for the freewheeling life they thought they

00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:36.250
were having. And it was a deception they agreed

00:25:36.250 --> 00:25:39.869
to, not a calling and a longing that God had

00:25:39.869 --> 00:25:43.349
been placing in there. And so it's all based

00:25:43.349 --> 00:25:47.730
upon our response. The grace is there. He's calling

00:25:47.730 --> 00:25:52.069
to us. Will you respond? Revelations 19, verse

00:25:52.069 --> 00:25:56.410
7 and 8. To her, it's been granted to become

00:25:56.410 --> 00:26:00.569
arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright. So each

00:26:00.569 --> 00:26:03.980
one of us, as we progress in God, It's an invitation.

00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:09.779
Will you be my bride? If you're accepting that,

00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:12.039
then you're weaving a garment of fine linen,

00:26:12.140 --> 00:26:14.000
clean and bright, which is the righteous acts

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:19.019
of the saints. It starts with servant, friend,

00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:25.019
son, bride. You've agreed to step into the process

00:26:25.019 --> 00:26:28.680
of becoming. And that takes righteous acts of

00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:32.519
faith. with humility, with, you know, all the

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:37.279
above. So that's the important one. This whole

00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.980
idea of developing the character of Christ is,

00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:45.599
I think, so, I mean, we preach about it all the

00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:49.140
time. That's one of our main topics on this podcast,

00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:53.519
because our mandate, I feel, is to contend for

00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:55.819
the outpouring and equip for the outpouring.

00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:58.779
So equipping for the outpouring. has to do with

00:26:58.779 --> 00:27:01.779
developing the character of Christ. You're not

00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:05.299
going to be able to carry the weight of what's

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:08.460
coming in this outpouring of the Holy Spirit

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:13.440
on all flesh if you don't have a measure of this

00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:16.559
maturity. working in your life. And it's going

00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.039
to be all hands on deck. And the newly born again

00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:20.720
are going to be helping people get born again.

00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:23.720
I know that's true. But somebody's got to help

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:27.359
people grow up in the things of God. So that's

00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:30.599
kind of one of the reasons why we hammer on it

00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:34.569
so much is that. you know, Galatians 5, where

00:27:34.569 --> 00:27:37.109
it's talking about the fruit of the Spirit, that's

00:27:37.109 --> 00:27:41.450
describing what Jesus' character was like. And

00:27:41.450 --> 00:27:44.930
his character was like that because, remember,

00:27:45.109 --> 00:27:47.769
it was the Spirit of God that hovered over Mary,

00:27:47.910 --> 00:27:51.789
and she brought him forth from the seat of the

00:27:51.789 --> 00:27:54.509
woman, which was prophesied in the Garden of

00:27:54.509 --> 00:27:57.190
Eden when they were being dealt with after they

00:27:57.190 --> 00:28:01.940
had eaten the wrong food. So this idea of becoming

00:28:01.940 --> 00:28:05.480
like Jesus is a real thing that we should be

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:08.980
pursuing. Yeah. The Spirit overshadowed Mary.

00:28:09.299 --> 00:28:13.180
Yeah. The Spirit overshadowed each one of us

00:28:13.180 --> 00:28:17.119
at our new birth. Absolutely. With the potential

00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:20.839
to enter into the fullness of the knowledge of

00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:25.519
God. Amen. But Jesus, from the day one, submitted

00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:29.519
himself to tutors. He submitted himself to a

00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:33.440
process, even though at age 12, he knew far more

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.740
than the learned men in Jerusalem. And his parents

00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:38.640
said, no, it's not time. And he came back and

00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:42.559
submitted himself until he was 30, at which point

00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:46.180
the father said, okay, now you're ready. We're

00:28:46.180 --> 00:28:49.980
never taught that. We're taught we're born again,

00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:53.420
and you've got an anointing, and you've got a

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:57.269
gifting. Now, take the world. Yeah. Well, that

00:28:57.269 --> 00:28:59.490
will carry you so far until you crash and burn.

00:28:59.589 --> 00:29:03.150
We're seeing it happen all around us. Yeah. What

00:29:03.150 --> 00:29:06.170
God is doing in your message, in our message,

00:29:06.349 --> 00:29:11.150
is calling forth mothers and fathers to help

00:29:11.150 --> 00:29:16.130
steward and help this final generation so that

00:29:16.130 --> 00:29:18.369
they go all the way and not part of the way.

00:29:18.609 --> 00:29:22.359
Amen. Pastor Tony, or we call him Bishop Tony,

00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.619
Apostle, whatever. And he says, call me anything

00:29:25.619 --> 00:29:28.019
but a prophet, because they stone the prophets.

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:32.799
But his last teaching, he has just put out called

00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:36.180
the Capacity Code. Yeah, it was episode 306.

00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:39.920
Episode 306, where God is wanting to, you have

00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:43.500
to increase your capacity for all the giftings,

00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:45.819
and that's there. And that reminds me, years

00:29:45.819 --> 00:29:50.410
ago, when I was Sigi, that was born in Germany

00:29:50.410 --> 00:29:52.750
when the bombs were falling on Berlin, and she

00:29:52.750 --> 00:29:56.150
grew up under the Soviets. And when she got a

00:29:56.150 --> 00:29:59.430
hold of God, and she has an expression, she used,

00:29:59.609 --> 00:30:02.710
you need a bigger transformer, which is kind

00:30:02.710 --> 00:30:05.309
of the same thing, because you get a bigger transformer,

00:30:05.369 --> 00:30:09.589
you're able to handle more voltage, more power,

00:30:09.630 --> 00:30:12.349
and be able to handle what God gives you. And

00:30:12.349 --> 00:30:16.059
I thought that's a real good parallel. For what

00:30:16.059 --> 00:30:19.920
God wants to do through us and for us, but the

00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:24.160
ball's in our court, basically. Yes. People don't

00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:27.200
think of a day -by -day choice a lot of times

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:31.140
as a relationship with Jesus because they've

00:30:31.140 --> 00:30:34.079
never maybe experienced anything deeper, but

00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:38.579
it's just there. The more time that you spend

00:30:38.579 --> 00:30:40.960
there, the more you want to. But it's getting

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:43.539
kind of like getting over that hurdle of putting

00:30:43.539 --> 00:30:46.279
the flesh aside enough to get a taste of what

00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:49.980
he really has for you. Amen. Yeah, in the last

00:30:49.980 --> 00:30:52.980
few years, it's hard for me to find language,

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:57.380
a vocabulary to express a deeper work I know

00:30:57.380 --> 00:31:02.240
God's doing in me and a change of mind, mindset.

00:31:03.180 --> 00:31:05.859
And I know it's the grace of God. I'm not pointing

00:31:05.859 --> 00:31:09.180
at me like, look at me. I'm in awe and wonder,

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:13.140
but I see things differently. I understand differently.

00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:16.339
And I believe it's got to do with a process of

00:31:16.339 --> 00:31:19.660
maturity. And, you know, my only thought in that

00:31:19.660 --> 00:31:21.259
is, why couldn't we have done this when I was

00:31:21.259 --> 00:31:25.859
18, Lord? But there's a time and a season for

00:31:25.859 --> 00:31:30.599
everything under the sun. And I'm looking at

00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:34.099
God's calling forth the Joshua's, the Caleb's,

00:31:34.099 --> 00:31:37.039
you know, the Miriam's. We've got to help this

00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:42.299
final generation. Yes, absolutely. I remember

00:31:42.299 --> 00:31:45.960
one of our mentors a number of years ago was

00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:48.799
saying, we want you to climb on our shoulders

00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:53.960
and go higher. And Bob Jones said to Sister Gwen,

00:31:54.099 --> 00:31:56.539
our founder, Sister Gwen, you have nothing to

00:31:56.539 --> 00:31:59.740
worry about. your ceiling will be your handmaidens'

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:03.900
dancing floor. So it's all about every generation

00:32:03.900 --> 00:32:07.619
adding to what the previous generations have

00:32:07.619 --> 00:32:11.859
had, and each generation gets stronger and goes

00:32:11.859 --> 00:32:14.619
higher as long as they're on the right track,

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.779
learning to grow up in God. If they don't get

00:32:17.779 --> 00:32:20.420
that, they're not going to add anything to their

00:32:20.420 --> 00:32:24.319
generation. Yeah. Not that I'm naive, but the

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:26.980
Lord showed me that years ago. My ceiling should

00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:30.440
be their floor. So it's comforting to know that

00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:34.240
God's spoken that to many. Yes. That's the way

00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:36.500
it should be. Yeah, it is the way it should be.

00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:38.579
And if you look at church history, that's the

00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:41.680
way it always has been. Not necessarily that

00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:45.259
the days of the book of Acts got better in the

00:32:45.259 --> 00:32:49.700
next generation. kind of waned somewhat. There's

00:32:49.700 --> 00:32:53.059
always been a Pentecostal outpouring in every

00:32:53.059 --> 00:32:56.880
generation, if you really look at church history.

00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:01.880
But like, for instance, in Europe in, what would

00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:05.559
it be, I think maybe around the 1500s or so when

00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.559
the Anabaptists got the vision that you should

00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:12.690
be baptized by immersion as Someone who knows

00:33:12.690 --> 00:33:14.609
what they're doing and not just as a baby being

00:33:14.609 --> 00:33:17.970
sprinkled. You know, sprinkling came in in the

00:33:17.970 --> 00:33:20.650
days of Constantine when all of a sudden he says,

00:33:20.789 --> 00:33:23.950
OK, we're all Christians. Everybody get baptized.

00:33:23.970 --> 00:33:26.490
So they just sprinkled water because it was too

00:33:26.490 --> 00:33:29.630
many people to dunk. And so sprinkling became

00:33:29.630 --> 00:33:34.589
a thing. Right. So at some point, I don't know,

00:33:34.589 --> 00:33:37.329
it was 1400s or 1500s. But but at some point,

00:33:37.369 --> 00:33:41.359
the Anabaptists got the Anabaptist means. baptized

00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:44.900
again, I think, if I recall correctly, because

00:33:44.900 --> 00:33:47.680
they had been baptized as babies. You know, that

00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:51.619
was just how it was done. And somebody gets a

00:33:51.619 --> 00:33:54.960
revelation. And the previous generation tends

00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:59.339
to persecute the generation that gets a new revelation.

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:05.140
And, you know, they had cases of being drowned

00:34:05.140 --> 00:34:09.260
in the river. because they were giving this doctrine

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:13.659
of baptism. And so they said, okay, let's see

00:34:13.659 --> 00:34:17.360
how you like it. And they never came back up

00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:20.800
alive. So there was persecution. So everything

00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:25.739
that's being restored, like in the days of the

00:34:25.739 --> 00:34:28.820
Methodist movement in, what would that be? The

00:34:28.820 --> 00:34:32.940
1700s, I think, in England. England was about

00:34:32.940 --> 00:34:35.420
to crash and burn, really. It was in bad, bad

00:34:35.420 --> 00:34:38.780
shape. But God began to move. And if you've seen

00:34:38.780 --> 00:34:41.900
the movie A Great Awakening, you see a little

00:34:41.900 --> 00:34:45.659
bit of what went on in Oxford with the Holy Club,

00:34:45.780 --> 00:34:49.179
with John Wesley and his brother Charles and

00:34:49.179 --> 00:34:52.099
George Whitefield, and there were others. And

00:34:52.099 --> 00:34:56.420
they began to understand being born again. John

00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:58.820
Wesley talked about, my heart was strangely warmed.

00:34:59.469 --> 00:35:02.349
Suddenly he knew that he was saved, where up

00:35:02.349 --> 00:35:05.329
to that point in their doctrine, they didn't

00:35:05.329 --> 00:35:07.369
know that you could be saved. You just hoped

00:35:07.369 --> 00:35:11.489
that you would make it to heaven. And so they

00:35:11.489 --> 00:35:14.349
were teaching being born again. And, you know,

00:35:14.349 --> 00:35:16.969
just one thing after another is added generation

00:35:16.969 --> 00:35:20.429
after generation. There's more revelation. So,

00:35:20.489 --> 00:35:23.630
you know, the fact that God has brought translation

00:35:23.630 --> 00:35:29.500
back into your ministry to teach. I suppose you've

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:32.800
probably had a little persecution. Just to leave

00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:37.780
it. Just to leave it. But, you know, you're bringing

00:35:37.780 --> 00:35:40.800
back something. Like, let me just go back even

00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:44.059
in our ministry. Sister Gwen Shaw, our founder,

00:35:44.300 --> 00:35:49.219
she brought back fasting and intercession. And

00:35:49.219 --> 00:35:51.880
hardly anybody was doing it when she came home

00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:55.590
from the mission field. In the early 1950s, she

00:35:55.590 --> 00:35:57.690
discovered that the churches that she went to

00:35:57.690 --> 00:36:00.349
were very proud of the fact that they had turned

00:36:00.349 --> 00:36:02.809
their prayer room into a stainless steel kitchen.

00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:08.219
So she was really concerned about this, probably

00:36:08.219 --> 00:36:11.760
the 60s as well. And so she wrote this book,

00:36:11.940 --> 00:36:14.480
Pour Out Your Heart, about intercession. Did

00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:16.300
she write that first, that one? That was her

00:36:16.300 --> 00:36:18.519
first one, yeah. And then after that, she wrote

00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:20.579
about fasting, Your Appointment with God. And

00:36:20.579 --> 00:36:23.940
hardly anybody was talking about fasting in those

00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:27.719
days. And now it's pretty common. It's pretty

00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:30.619
common for you to find churches that at the beginning

00:36:30.619 --> 00:36:33.519
of the year, they declare a fast. It's not so

00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:37.679
uncommon. So God keeps adding and he keeps adding

00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:39.679
and he keeps adding because he wants to make

00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:42.059
it richer. He wants to make it better. You know,

00:36:42.139 --> 00:36:45.179
Dean Braxton talks about when he was in heaven,

00:36:45.260 --> 00:36:49.880
that he looked at the Father. And he would just

00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.599
get overwhelmed with the greatness and the glory

00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:54.900
and all the adjectives you can think of. And

00:36:54.900 --> 00:36:57.420
he'd look again and he was more so. That every

00:36:57.420 --> 00:37:02.179
moment he is increasing in his glory and increasing

00:37:02.179 --> 00:37:04.619
in his love for you. And every moment he's creating

00:37:04.619 --> 00:37:09.659
new love just for you. And, you know, it's revelation

00:37:09.659 --> 00:37:14.440
that is meant to change us and meant to make

00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:17.519
us grow closer to him. You know, starting in

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:21.349
Acts. It exploded on the scene and then waned.

00:37:22.150 --> 00:37:27.949
So unless a seed falls into the ground, it won't

00:37:27.949 --> 00:37:30.730
bring forth the harvest. That's why every generation

00:37:30.730 --> 00:37:33.530
has their own seed that comes forth from past

00:37:33.530 --> 00:37:38.329
generations in greater clarity, greater clarity,

00:37:38.349 --> 00:37:43.829
until the final day when it comes forth in fullness,

00:37:44.110 --> 00:37:47.400
the fullness of the knowledge of God. That's

00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:50.000
where all of this has been leading. And so anytime

00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:52.920
you receive insight and revelation from God that

00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:57.800
is forerunner in nature, there's going to be

00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.800
contending and contention, but there's going

00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:03.639
to bring forth a greater harvest of truth and

00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:07.179
Christ -likeness than the past generation. So

00:38:07.179 --> 00:38:10.539
we can't judge them. We have to have compassion.

00:38:11.659 --> 00:38:13.519
And then determine in our hearts we're not going

00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:16.199
to stop the new thing God's going to do that

00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:20.320
goes after us. Right. And that's called parenting.

00:38:21.539 --> 00:38:27.460
Yes, Parenting 101. Absolutely. To step into.

00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:30.480
That's my favorite part of the Great Awakening

00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:35.159
was when he went into that first church. Oh,

00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:38.489
yeah. I think he throws the wig down and hypocrite.

00:38:38.530 --> 00:38:40.769
And I went, oh, yeah, come on, come on. Yeah.

00:38:42.969 --> 00:38:47.949
That was great. That was good. Wow. He didn't

00:38:47.949 --> 00:38:52.510
mince any words. No. And you got to watch. You

00:38:52.510 --> 00:38:57.309
can only imagine two also. That was, wow. I haven't

00:38:57.309 --> 00:39:00.250
seen that one yet. Wow. I don't think we saw

00:39:00.250 --> 00:39:01.130
the first one. Get your comics out if you do.

00:39:01.690 --> 00:39:05.440
Okay. Okay. It's based on the song, It Is Well

00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:10.099
With My Soul, the story behind it. Oh, yes, Horatio

00:39:10.099 --> 00:39:13.920
Spafford. Wow, I didn't realize that that's what

00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:16.480
that was for. You know, I heard that there was

00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:20.579
a movie by that name. Yeah, the guy, one of the

00:39:20.579 --> 00:39:23.699
main guys in the movie, that song spoke to him

00:39:23.699 --> 00:39:26.679
and he shares how it came about because he was

00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:28.760
going through something. It's powerful, so powerful.

00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:33.250
Wow. That's awesome, yeah. We were out in the

00:39:33.250 --> 00:39:36.989
northeast and we went into, it was a Jonathan

00:39:36.989 --> 00:39:39.610
Edwards church, I believe it was. He's buried

00:39:39.610 --> 00:39:42.969
in the church underneath. And you're sitting

00:39:42.969 --> 00:39:46.449
there in this place and I'm looking at this piano

00:39:46.449 --> 00:39:48.929
that was up there. It's a square piano, totally

00:39:48.929 --> 00:39:53.010
square. It goes way back to the 1800s and kind

00:39:53.010 --> 00:39:56.000
of picturing. where Jonathan Edwards is sitting

00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:58.039
down there and George Whitefield is preaching,

00:39:58.219 --> 00:40:01.079
you know, up in the pulpit. And I remember him

00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:03.880
calling the fiery Whitefield, you know. And when

00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:06.739
we saw that movie, that really gave me an idea

00:40:06.739 --> 00:40:10.820
what that was like, you know. Right. Wow. Yeah.

00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:14.199
I love revival. Yeah. Sister Gwen was a real

00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:16.820
revivalist, and I would get so stirred up by

00:40:16.820 --> 00:40:18.739
the Holy Ghost when she would preach about revival.

00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:21.079
Wow, wow, wow. Let me give you a sneak peek.

00:40:21.579 --> 00:40:25.079
Oh. Yeah. You know, Dr. Flo Ehlers. Oh, yes.

00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:27.699
Oh, yes. We just talked. Next book. I'm going

00:40:27.699 --> 00:40:29.920
to give it an advert here called Bulldog Faith.

00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:33.500
She asked me to read it. And man, oh, man, oh,

00:40:33.500 --> 00:40:35.719
man. It's good. It's good. It's very good. She

00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:38.639
sent it to us, too. You guys are rating it, too.

00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:42.199
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect. I mean, I love it.

00:40:42.260 --> 00:40:45.190
I just love it. Such a powerful. Powerful woman

00:40:45.190 --> 00:40:48.150
of God. Yeah, we had her on a podcast that just

00:40:48.150 --> 00:40:50.630
came out about three weeks ago, I think. Oh,

00:40:50.630 --> 00:40:53.849
good. She was telling some of her Bulldog Faith

00:40:53.849 --> 00:40:57.409
stories. Yeah, I learned a lot I hadn't known,

00:40:57.570 --> 00:41:00.050
which is power. I mean, just good stuff. What

00:41:00.050 --> 00:41:04.389
she went through. I know. Oh, what her husband

00:41:04.389 --> 00:41:08.989
went through, too. Yeah. So anybody out there

00:41:08.989 --> 00:41:10.909
listening, you need to look for that book to

00:41:10.909 --> 00:41:13.829
come out, Bulldog Faith by Dr. Flo Ehlers. Yeah,

00:41:13.849 --> 00:41:17.849
should be out, I'm thinking, in the summer. It's

00:41:17.849 --> 00:41:19.869
just gone for editing and that sort of thing.

00:41:19.989 --> 00:41:23.650
Dr. Flo has been, wow, she's been a friend for

00:41:23.650 --> 00:41:27.250
a long, long time. And back to the subject of

00:41:27.250 --> 00:41:29.869
translation, she was the one who introduced us

00:41:29.869 --> 00:41:33.309
to the video that she made of Brother Grubbs

00:41:33.309 --> 00:41:37.989
decades ago. You want to tell some of his stories?

00:41:38.530 --> 00:41:41.050
The way she told us, when she finally heard me

00:41:41.050 --> 00:41:43.300
teach a little bit on this, She said, I think

00:41:43.300 --> 00:41:45.219
I got something for you. She went and dug out

00:41:45.219 --> 00:41:47.780
that old video. She said, I haven't done anything

00:41:47.780 --> 00:41:52.380
with this because it was way out there. So she

00:41:52.380 --> 00:41:56.099
gave me permission. We put it on DVD. This brother

00:41:56.099 --> 00:42:02.860
Grubbs, in 1951, he had a NDE, near -death experience.

00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:07.400
So from that day on, that was 1950 actually,

00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:11.320
from that day on, two angels would come and pick

00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:13.960
him up. physically, and take him to different

00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:17.199
parts of the world to minister. And he starts

00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:20.079
sharing in that video his exploits about some

00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:21.880
of the things he did and where the angels took

00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:24.039
him. Sometimes it was in the body, sometimes

00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:27.119
it was not. And the witnesses, so many people

00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:30.300
witnessed and watched this. And Paul Harvey in

00:42:30.300 --> 00:42:33.039
1951 even wrote about it in the New York Times

00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:35.099
about the man who appeared and disappeared of

00:42:35.099 --> 00:42:41.389
the UN building. One of his first journeys. Wow.

00:42:41.510 --> 00:42:45.030
He was a forerunner, but he made the mistake

00:42:45.030 --> 00:42:48.730
that anybody would. They're excited about what

00:42:48.730 --> 00:42:50.969
God's doing. And he shared it and they ostracized

00:42:50.969 --> 00:42:53.530
him, said, no, that's the devil. Stay away. At

00:42:53.530 --> 00:42:57.909
first in this interview with Dr. Flo, they're

00:42:57.909 --> 00:43:01.530
very kind of hesitant. But then they started

00:43:01.530 --> 00:43:04.389
getting into it. And it was a shame. I mean,

00:43:04.449 --> 00:43:10.800
he was, what, in his 70s by then? 1987? And he'd

00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:13.219
had a stroke in the past, so he's not quite as

00:43:13.219 --> 00:43:15.860
– so his wife was picking it up and his son was

00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:20.420
sharing some of the things. And, yeah, what a

00:43:20.420 --> 00:43:23.119
treasure that we ostracize because of ignorance.

00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:26.800
Yeah. You know, we did a podcast with Hannah

00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:29.539
Werner not too long ago because she's one of

00:43:29.539 --> 00:43:32.460
our speakers at the convention. And some of the

00:43:32.460 --> 00:43:35.659
comments we got are just – From the shorts. On

00:43:35.659 --> 00:43:37.820
the shorts, you know, that we put out there just

00:43:37.820 --> 00:43:42.250
like – People can't go to heaven or this is witchcraft.

00:43:42.409 --> 00:43:44.789
Nobody's been there. Nobody, you know, I was

00:43:44.789 --> 00:43:48.250
astounded at the negativity that stirred up.

00:43:48.329 --> 00:43:51.210
I thought, wow, it's just like these people have

00:43:51.210 --> 00:43:54.929
no idea. Nobody can go to heaven, huh? What are

00:43:54.929 --> 00:43:56.190
we doing? And come back and talk about it. And

00:43:56.190 --> 00:43:58.389
come back and talk about it, you know. You mean

00:43:58.389 --> 00:44:02.610
like Jesus did? Yeah. Who said, by the way, the

00:44:02.610 --> 00:44:04.289
works I do, you can do, never mind. You can do

00:44:04.289 --> 00:44:07.230
greater, yeah. Yeah. Wow. I was just thinking.

00:44:07.230 --> 00:44:11.039
Or like Paul did, or like. One of the testimonies

00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:14.500
that I remember from Brother Grubb's testimony

00:44:14.500 --> 00:44:17.639
that since we are talking about translation is

00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:20.420
when there was a fire. Was it in Alaska? No,

00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:24.519
the earthquake in Alaska in 64. And go ahead,

00:44:24.619 --> 00:44:27.239
if you remember. He heard there was an earthquake

00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:29.340
and all of a sudden these angels came and grabbed

00:44:29.340 --> 00:44:32.440
him and took him. And there was a fallen building

00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:34.539
and he's standing on, you know, it's at an angle.

00:44:34.579 --> 00:44:38.510
He's standing. Apparently, first responders in

00:44:38.510 --> 00:44:40.849
that said, get off of there. You know, it's dangerous.

00:44:40.969 --> 00:44:44.090
It's going to collapse. But he heard a child.

00:44:45.030 --> 00:44:47.889
And so he dug himself into there and found this

00:44:47.889 --> 00:44:49.969
child and brought this child out and handed him

00:44:49.969 --> 00:44:53.670
back to the first responders. And then the angels

00:44:53.670 --> 00:44:57.469
brought him home. Yeah. Wow. For one child. Yeah,

00:44:57.590 --> 00:45:01.530
we need to be first responders in that way. Wow.

00:45:01.849 --> 00:45:04.269
Exactly. And I wonder what the destiny was for

00:45:04.269 --> 00:45:06.869
that child that he pulled out. You know, I think

00:45:06.869 --> 00:45:10.289
if this is broadcast and if we had this video

00:45:10.289 --> 00:45:13.429
up and more, it's on YouTube now because people,

00:45:13.510 --> 00:45:15.590
you know how people are. They take your video

00:45:15.590 --> 00:45:19.090
and boom. But I mean, who knows? It could be

00:45:19.090 --> 00:45:21.369
possible somebody would witness that and want

00:45:21.369 --> 00:45:24.550
to come forth with their testimony. That would

00:45:24.550 --> 00:45:27.289
be awesome. That would be amazing. Wouldn't that

00:45:27.289 --> 00:45:30.480
be something? Yeah. Wow. For someone to step

00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:33.420
up and say, I was that child. Yeah. We've had

00:45:33.420 --> 00:45:35.840
encounters with people in Europe and different

00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:38.800
places where we shared about a little bit on

00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:40.400
translation and they finally come up and said,

00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:44.340
oh, thank God, now I can share this because it's

00:45:44.340 --> 00:45:48.000
the truth and I won't be passed out. And even

00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:52.199
in America, that older lady in Southern California,

00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:55.440
the well -known pastor's church. They asked me

00:45:55.440 --> 00:45:57.960
to come and share on this, and he was very dubious.

00:45:57.980 --> 00:46:00.739
And he says, can I ask you some questions? Don,

00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:04.420
he was grabbing the mic. And I knew, okay, he's

00:46:04.420 --> 00:46:06.840
looking for a battle here. The first thing he

00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:09.099
says, now, I don't know if you believe anything

00:46:09.099 --> 00:46:11.400
he said, but who in here has ever had an experience

00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:13.059
like this? And a couple of hands went off, and

00:46:13.059 --> 00:46:16.920
he went, what? I'm your pastor. You didn't tell

00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:20.059
me? Yeah. And so this woman came up. She was

00:46:20.059 --> 00:46:25.239
in her 70s. She had talked how years ago. She

00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:28.719
was in America. She was taken over to England

00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:30.960
into a hospital. She went into this hospital

00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:33.340
room and ministered to somebody, prayed for them.

00:46:33.900 --> 00:46:36.920
And that person was healed. And then she vanished

00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:38.880
and came back. And it was written up in the news

00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:42.380
over there. So he was just gobsmacked. He went,

00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:49.820
I said, next question. So, yeah, there were two

00:46:49.820 --> 00:46:53.780
or three people had had experiences. But see.

00:46:54.429 --> 00:46:58.570
They didn't want to be ostracized. So I know

00:46:58.570 --> 00:47:00.230
there's more people out there walking in this

00:47:00.230 --> 00:47:04.090
than talk, which is okay, too, because this isn't

00:47:04.090 --> 00:47:07.449
to be, except for now God's releasing it. Yeah.

00:47:07.909 --> 00:47:11.869
I'm reminded also of we were in a GLOW meeting

00:47:11.869 --> 00:47:15.150
with Sister Gwen in Mountain Home, Arkansas.

00:47:16.230 --> 00:47:18.849
And afterwards, a lady comes up to her and says,

00:47:18.969 --> 00:47:21.230
thank you so much for coming to the hospital

00:47:21.230 --> 00:47:24.690
and praying for me. I was healed. And she said,

00:47:24.829 --> 00:47:28.610
I don't remember ever coming to Mountain Home

00:47:28.610 --> 00:47:30.989
to the hospital to pray for anybody. She said,

00:47:31.010 --> 00:47:33.510
when did that happen? And she told her the exact

00:47:33.510 --> 00:47:36.010
date. And Sister Gwen said, I was in the Philippines

00:47:36.010 --> 00:47:41.989
then. So she probably did it in her sleep or

00:47:41.989 --> 00:47:45.289
when she was praying or something. Or just praying

00:47:45.289 --> 00:47:48.750
in the spirit. Yeah, sure, sure. Yeah, we've

00:47:48.750 --> 00:47:51.440
had those experiences too. Yeah, one of my favorite

00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:53.179
stories that Sister Gwen used to tell, and she

00:47:53.179 --> 00:47:55.159
told all of these kind of translation stories.

00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:58.360
So it's like I grew up spiritually on this kind

00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:02.880
of stuff. This is normal Christianity to me.

00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:05.699
When I first got Spirit -filled, I heard about

00:48:05.699 --> 00:48:08.340
somebody that was driving someplace and they

00:48:08.340 --> 00:48:10.739
got there hours before they should because God

00:48:10.739 --> 00:48:12.780
had translated them. So, you know, I was in my

00:48:12.780 --> 00:48:15.199
teens when I heard that. So this is normal. This

00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:17.730
is normal Christianity to me. We were going to

00:48:17.730 --> 00:48:20.110
this little Methodist church in Jasper where

00:48:20.110 --> 00:48:23.670
we were at. And one of my friends there, he was

00:48:23.670 --> 00:48:27.010
a mechanic. That's how we got to know him. And

00:48:27.010 --> 00:48:30.269
he had this little tiny Ford Escort, and he kind

00:48:30.269 --> 00:48:33.369
of drove kind of wild. And he's coming up our

00:48:33.369 --> 00:48:37.030
Highway 7 and comes up, and a truck is— Now,

00:48:37.070 --> 00:48:39.210
wait a minute. You've got to explain that Highway

00:48:39.210 --> 00:48:41.929
7— He's coming up a mountain. He's coming up

00:48:41.929 --> 00:48:43.889
a mountain. One curve after another curve. So

00:48:43.889 --> 00:48:45.469
around every curve, there's another curve. Yeah,

00:48:45.469 --> 00:48:48.449
we call it Dramamine Drive, Highway 7, you know,

00:48:48.469 --> 00:48:50.130
because you're going to get motion sick on it.

00:48:50.530 --> 00:48:53.590
And he's zipping up the mountain. And all of

00:48:53.590 --> 00:48:57.610
a sudden, a semi is coming jackknifed, you know,

00:48:57.610 --> 00:49:00.710
coming over, blocking his lane. And all of a

00:49:00.710 --> 00:49:03.809
sudden, he's on the other side of the semi. And

00:49:03.809 --> 00:49:06.909
I don't know how many people he told. He wasn't

00:49:06.909 --> 00:49:09.849
what you call a real deep Christian. But God

00:49:09.849 --> 00:49:12.610
had a purpose for doing that for his life. And

00:49:12.610 --> 00:49:16.250
I thought, oh, wow. Yeah, the Lord used him as

00:49:16.250 --> 00:49:20.010
an evangelist after that. He was used by the

00:49:20.010 --> 00:49:23.349
Lord in just one -on -one kind of evangelism.

00:49:23.469 --> 00:49:26.329
I remember our music group. They're from Lake

00:49:26.329 --> 00:49:30.159
Elsinore, California. They travel in a bus. And

00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:33.619
I think they were in a car this time or whatever

00:49:33.619 --> 00:49:36.420
they were in. Coming up to an intersection, all

00:49:36.420 --> 00:49:38.619
of a sudden, this truck just pulls right out

00:49:38.619 --> 00:49:41.539
or a car pulled right out. And all of a sudden,

00:49:41.579 --> 00:49:43.219
they're on the other side. And when she looks

00:49:43.219 --> 00:49:46.400
in the rearview mirror, the person is out of

00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:48.480
the car with their hands on their waist looking

00:49:48.480 --> 00:49:51.829
at them like, what happened? You should have

00:49:51.829 --> 00:49:56.250
nailed me. True. That's pretty awesome. It just

00:49:56.250 --> 00:49:58.710
reminded me, since you guys started sharing those

00:49:58.710 --> 00:50:01.809
testimonies, we were doing a school in South

00:50:01.809 --> 00:50:04.889
Africa some years ago, and there was a lady who

00:50:04.889 --> 00:50:07.429
came to the school, and that happened to her.

00:50:08.289 --> 00:50:10.929
She was in the school for five days, but I don't

00:50:10.929 --> 00:50:13.989
know, it was day two or day three. That happened

00:50:13.989 --> 00:50:16.980
to her while she was coming to the school. She

00:50:16.980 --> 00:50:19.699
came and told us what had happened. There was

00:50:19.699 --> 00:50:23.400
no way she said she could have gone any direction.

00:50:23.460 --> 00:50:26.079
This truck was coming right at her, and next

00:50:26.079 --> 00:50:27.940
thing she knew, she was on the other side of

00:50:27.940 --> 00:50:31.460
it. God totally protected her. So, yeah, we have

00:50:31.460 --> 00:50:34.480
testimonies, piles of testimonies from around

00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:36.519
the world. We should collect some more of those.

00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:39.960
Yeah, it's not just the person. It's not just

00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:42.159
the person, too, but the vehicle they're driving.

00:50:42.579 --> 00:50:46.659
Right, right. Bag in baggage. Biblical. Jesus

00:50:46.659 --> 00:50:48.639
stepped into the boat and instantly was at the

00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:51.019
shore. True. Was at shore, yeah. Absolutely.

00:50:51.460 --> 00:50:54.699
Absolutely. So that story I was about to tell

00:50:54.699 --> 00:50:57.639
was that there was this lady in California named

00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:00.619
Confidence Cloats. I don't know how long ago,

00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:04.639
but Sister Gwen used to tell this story about

00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:09.139
how this lady would be dreaming. I mean, she'd

00:51:09.139 --> 00:51:12.880
go to sleep. And in her dreams, the angel would

00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:16.159
come and take her someplace to minister. And

00:51:16.159 --> 00:51:18.139
she would go and minister. The angel would bring

00:51:18.139 --> 00:51:22.099
her back and she'd wake up. So one day she's

00:51:22.099 --> 00:51:24.300
on her way. And I don't remember where she went,

00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:28.780
but I have it in the way I remember the story.

00:51:28.860 --> 00:51:30.199
I don't know if it's the right place or not,

00:51:30.260 --> 00:51:33.019
but I think she was in the Philippines. And she

00:51:33.019 --> 00:51:36.039
preached the gospel and, you know, God did signs

00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:37.820
and wonders and all the things that he does.

00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:41.139
And the angel is bringing her back as the sun

00:51:41.139 --> 00:51:44.639
is coming up. And she says, oh, they're seeing

00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:48.039
the coastline of California. She says, oh, angel,

00:51:48.099 --> 00:51:50.000
would you take me down? I'd love to grab a handful

00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:54.039
of sand. So the angel dips down and she grabs

00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:56.260
a handful of sand. And the next thing she's hearing

00:51:56.260 --> 00:52:00.800
is, Sister Confidence, Sister Confidence, wake

00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:03.619
up, wake up. Are you OK? You're sleeping so late

00:52:03.619 --> 00:52:07.230
today. And it was her coworker. And so she says,

00:52:07.349 --> 00:52:09.250
oh, come in, dear. I was just having the most

00:52:09.250 --> 00:52:12.610
wonderful dream about the angel taking me to

00:52:12.610 --> 00:52:14.730
the Philippines. And I ministered. And on the

00:52:14.730 --> 00:52:17.989
way back, I asked for the angel to take me down

00:52:17.989 --> 00:52:23.250
and let me get a handful of, and she had a handful

00:52:23.250 --> 00:52:29.150
of sand. Perfect. So, you know, it's real. It's

00:52:29.150 --> 00:52:33.940
absolutely real. That's a handy testimony. What

00:52:33.940 --> 00:52:36.880
about that brother that had the mud on his boots?

00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:40.340
Yes, yes. Was that Mozambique one? No, there

00:52:40.340 --> 00:52:43.559
was a brother that he worked in the oil fields

00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:47.340
in, I suppose, Texas, someplace in that region

00:52:47.340 --> 00:52:49.820
in the States, you know, Texas or Oklahoma someplace.

00:52:50.519 --> 00:52:53.900
And he had just gotten himself ready for bed

00:52:53.900 --> 00:52:57.219
and he'd laid out his clothes for the next day

00:52:57.219 --> 00:53:01.019
and he had just cleaned his boots and he went

00:53:01.019 --> 00:53:04.380
to bed. And he's dreaming that he's in Uganda

00:53:04.380 --> 00:53:08.900
and he's drilling a water well for this village.

00:53:09.599 --> 00:53:12.559
And he comes back in his dream. He comes back.

00:53:12.559 --> 00:53:16.980
He wakes up in the morning and he has mud on

00:53:16.980 --> 00:53:22.460
his boots, red mud. So he had access to one of

00:53:22.460 --> 00:53:27.300
these guys that can analyze the soils. And he

00:53:27.300 --> 00:53:29.619
gives him a sample of the mud. He says, tell

00:53:29.619 --> 00:53:32.440
me where this is from. And so he comes back later.

00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:34.079
The guy says, hey, there's only one place in

00:53:34.079 --> 00:53:36.559
the world that has this exact kind of mud, and

00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:40.699
it's Uganda. What a coincidence. Yeah. Yeah.

00:53:41.659 --> 00:53:46.099
Quite amazing. So this type of thing should be

00:53:46.099 --> 00:53:51.460
expected. Yes. And become a normal Christian

00:53:51.460 --> 00:53:55.500
experience in this hour. Absolutely. Absolutely.

00:53:55.739 --> 00:53:57.780
Even better when you have the understanding of

00:53:57.780 --> 00:54:00.739
the scripture of why this is so. But yeah. That's

00:54:00.739 --> 00:54:03.840
important. This is powerful. Exciting times.

00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:08.079
Amen. Amen. And about to get more exciting. Yes,

00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:11.920
that's right. We're supposed to be going to South

00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:16.199
Africa again in October. So I spent floating

00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:17.940
in my heart, okay, Lord, how are we getting there

00:54:17.940 --> 00:54:21.579
this time? Whichever way he wants to do it, if

00:54:21.579 --> 00:54:23.880
it's long hours on an airplane or instantly,

00:54:24.059 --> 00:54:29.809
but we're right on top of this. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

00:54:30.090 --> 00:54:33.510
That reminds me of Pat Holleran was one of these

00:54:33.510 --> 00:54:35.929
guys that had these translation experiences pretty

00:54:35.929 --> 00:54:38.449
often. And he and his wife were scheduled to

00:54:38.449 --> 00:54:43.050
fly to Germany on a certain day. And like the

00:54:43.050 --> 00:54:46.289
day before or maybe two days before they were

00:54:46.289 --> 00:54:49.929
scheduled to fly, he's in prayer and he finds

00:54:49.929 --> 00:54:51.949
himself in Germany and he's talking with the

00:54:51.949 --> 00:54:53.909
people there in Germany. They see him, they're

00:54:53.909 --> 00:54:57.510
talking together. And so he was in a dilemma.

00:54:57.510 --> 00:55:00.130
Do I just stay here and let my wife bring the

00:55:00.130 --> 00:55:04.070
luggage or do I go back and get it and fly with

00:55:04.070 --> 00:55:08.010
her? I think he did come back and do the normal

00:55:08.010 --> 00:55:12.889
thing. I mean, normal as far as the world goes.

00:55:14.959 --> 00:55:17.320
The typical airline. Because otherwise, how would

00:55:17.320 --> 00:55:20.099
he have a stamp in his passport, right? Yeah.

00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:24.239
You know, I've often pondered, you know, okay,

00:55:24.280 --> 00:55:27.539
I go over there, I'm on video, they see me, and

00:55:27.539 --> 00:55:31.440
then I'm back home, and I say, how'd you do that?

00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:34.880
Yeah. Just tell them. Yeah, funny you should

00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:39.880
mention. Exactly, exactly. Well, I just love

00:55:39.880 --> 00:55:42.639
what God is doing, and we can look for that to

00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:45.320
increase and increase and increase. And I just

00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:49.659
want to say thank you, Bruce, for bringing this

00:55:49.659 --> 00:55:52.079
to the body, that the Holy Spirit challenged

00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:54.780
you, and you stood up to the challenge, and you

00:55:54.780 --> 00:55:57.079
studied it, and you learned it, and you've practiced

00:55:57.079 --> 00:56:01.460
walking with the Lord to receive more and more

00:56:01.460 --> 00:56:04.280
revelation to be able to teach it. So I just

00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:06.440
want to say thank you on behalf of the body of

00:56:06.440 --> 00:56:09.519
Christ for having persevered in this, because

00:56:09.519 --> 00:56:13.619
it's not easy. And, you know, you kind of tossed

00:56:13.619 --> 00:56:15.920
it off about persecution, but I'm sure you've

00:56:15.920 --> 00:56:18.840
had plenty. So do you have any final thoughts

00:56:18.840 --> 00:56:23.019
to share? I think we need to stretch our faith.

00:56:24.179 --> 00:56:25.840
Reshma and I have talked about this many times,

00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:29.820
doing this together frequently. You know, you

00:56:29.820 --> 00:56:35.349
start out, how do I? instead of how do we? And

00:56:35.349 --> 00:56:37.809
the pattern that Jesus had is, like I said, he

00:56:37.809 --> 00:56:40.730
stepped in the boat, they all went at once. Yes.

00:56:40.889 --> 00:56:42.849
I think we're in that season. We're going to

00:56:42.849 --> 00:56:46.929
need that for quite a few things. Bringing people

00:56:46.929 --> 00:56:50.570
out of difficult situations, taking people in

00:56:50.570 --> 00:56:57.090
to help in situations. So expand the tent pegs.

00:56:57.510 --> 00:57:00.469
Amen. It's time to believe largely instead of

00:57:00.469 --> 00:57:07.110
focus on your own little Amen. Amen. That's a

00:57:07.110 --> 00:57:08.989
good word. Reshma, would you close in prayer

00:57:08.989 --> 00:57:13.730
for us? Yes, I would. Lord, we thank you for

00:57:13.730 --> 00:57:16.469
this time that you gave us, Lord, to get together

00:57:16.469 --> 00:57:19.869
and just feast on your word and talk about. the

00:57:19.869 --> 00:57:21.869
great things that you are doing among us, Lord.

00:57:22.289 --> 00:57:24.889
In the hour, the seasons that we live in, Father,

00:57:24.949 --> 00:57:28.130
I pray that you will open our eyes in a greater

00:57:28.130 --> 00:57:30.469
measure, our ears and our heart to comprehend

00:57:30.469 --> 00:57:33.349
the truth of your word. And Lord, also protect

00:57:33.349 --> 00:57:35.989
us from deception, that you will give us a spirit

00:57:35.989 --> 00:57:38.590
of discernment in this hour, Lord God. I thank

00:57:38.590 --> 00:57:41.289
you. And Lord, we pray for all those who are

00:57:41.289 --> 00:57:44.510
listening, that, Lord, you will bless them, you

00:57:44.510 --> 00:57:46.789
will lead them and guide them in this hour, Lord,

00:57:46.829 --> 00:57:49.699
those who are making decisions. to come, Lord

00:57:49.699 --> 00:57:52.159
God, that you will make a way for them to be

00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:54.980
able to come to this school, Lord God. What a

00:57:54.980 --> 00:57:57.960
great week, Lord, we have with you. And prepare

00:57:57.960 --> 00:58:02.019
their hearts, Lord. And bless Cheryl, Lord God,

00:58:02.159 --> 00:58:05.219
and Philip, Lord God, for their ministry and

00:58:05.219 --> 00:58:08.159
opening up their home and opening up their lives,

00:58:08.280 --> 00:58:11.219
Lord God, to make this happen, Lord. And we just

00:58:11.219 --> 00:58:13.360
speak your blessing and we thank you for this

00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:16.139
time. Lord, lead us and guide us all by your

00:58:16.139 --> 00:58:20.219
Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. And

00:58:20.219 --> 00:58:25.000
I just want to remind everyone that, you know,

00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:28.960
I mentioned one book that Dr. Bruce has written.

00:58:29.159 --> 00:58:32.219
But how many books have you written now? You've

00:58:32.219 --> 00:58:36.099
got quite a few. Six, seven, eight, something

00:58:36.099 --> 00:58:40.039
like that. Okay. And then Reshma, you've just

00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:44.639
written a new book. You teach discernment in

00:58:44.639 --> 00:58:49.320
this class. Give us a quick overview. Okay, so

00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:51.619
I finished a book on discernment that I've been

00:58:51.619 --> 00:58:54.900
working on for a long time. And God laid that

00:58:54.900 --> 00:58:57.960
message in my heart, the times and season we

00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:01.679
live in. There is so much deception in the church

00:59:01.679 --> 00:59:04.159
and outside of the church and people of God being

00:59:04.159 --> 00:59:10.059
able to discern. So in this book, what God had...

00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:13.960
given me on discernment and also life stories,

00:59:14.159 --> 00:59:17.000
testimonies of what we have experienced concerning

00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:21.639
discernment and how God helped us and different

00:59:21.639 --> 00:59:25.159
testimonies. It's pretty amazing. So I am really

00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:27.380
excited about it, what God is doing with it.

00:59:27.960 --> 00:59:30.119
I will bring some with me to the school. And

00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:33.579
I believe with all of my heart that it is such

00:59:33.579 --> 00:59:36.380
an important message right now, being able to

00:59:36.380 --> 00:59:38.960
discern. And we have been talking about supernatural

00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:44.179
things of God. And we teach very strongly what

00:59:44.179 --> 00:59:47.340
God has laid in the Word of God about being able

00:59:47.340 --> 00:59:49.599
to discern and discern right and wrong, good

00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:53.280
and evil, false prophets, false teachers, false

00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:57.650
visions, false... angels that visit and also

00:59:57.650 --> 01:00:01.650
from his kingdom. We got to be able to tell the

01:00:01.650 --> 01:00:04.050
difference. And I believe it's very important

01:00:04.050 --> 01:00:07.090
because our world is full of supernatural stories

01:00:07.090 --> 01:00:10.610
and the church is full of it. And I believe...

01:00:10.610 --> 01:00:15.710
Church is full. Well, we see it everywhere. People,

01:00:16.030 --> 01:00:19.050
you know, having visions, dreams, seeing, going

01:00:19.050 --> 01:00:22.909
and all that. And are we able to tell if it is

01:00:22.909 --> 01:00:25.860
from God or not? So that's basically what the

01:00:25.860 --> 01:00:28.420
book is about. Beautiful. That's great. So how

01:00:28.420 --> 01:00:31.360
do people get your books? They can get it through

01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:35.500
our ministry and also on Amazon. Okay. And what's

01:00:35.500 --> 01:00:39.059
your website? Stillwatersinternationalmissions

01:00:39.059 --> 01:00:43.900
.com. And also I think so Barnes & Noble are

01:00:43.900 --> 01:00:47.360
going to carry it. On 23rd, actually, in my local

01:00:47.360 --> 01:00:49.900
area, Barnes & Noble is having a book signing

01:00:49.900 --> 01:00:55.219
with me. Congratulations. That's great. Wonderful.

01:00:55.219 --> 01:00:58.139
Okay. We're delighted to have had you with us

01:00:58.139 --> 01:00:59.860
