CTN TV Episode 16 The Secret Place of Prayer

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.779
You pray it and he can answer it. The effectual

00:00:02.779 --> 00:00:07.280
fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

00:00:07.339 --> 00:00:10.460
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray

00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:13.060
so that he can answer it. Goes into the hearts

00:00:13.060 --> 00:00:15.839
of the people, doesn't return void, it produces

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:23.179
results. Welcome to my broadcast. My name is

00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:26.079
Margie Florent and I'm your host. Today we're

00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.039
gonna do something a little different in our

00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:33.770
teaching. I prepared last night and a good part

00:00:33.770 --> 00:00:36.549
of the day yesterday for what I was going to

00:00:36.549 --> 00:00:39.789
share with you. And the Holy Spirit interrupted

00:00:39.789 --> 00:00:43.670
me this morning and he highlighted. two scriptures

00:00:43.670 --> 00:00:45.850
that he wants me to share with you and that's

00:00:45.850 --> 00:00:47.270
where we're going to go today. This is going

00:00:47.270 --> 00:00:50.450
to be more of what I would call prophetic teaching.

00:00:51.009 --> 00:00:53.469
So we're just going to open up our hearts and

00:00:53.469 --> 00:00:55.590
we're just going to hear what the Spirit of the

00:00:55.590 --> 00:00:58.850
Lord has to say to us in this moment and in this

00:00:58.850 --> 00:01:04.230
time. So about 12 years ago I was speaking in

00:01:04.230 --> 00:01:08.750
a prayer event in New Jersey and to be honest

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:14.799
The atmosphere in the room was one of staleness.

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.359
There was static in teaching and preaching, meaning

00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.920
the anointing wasn't flowing like it should.

00:01:21.219 --> 00:01:25.659
And my subject matter was closet prayer, intimacy

00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:31.439
with God in the secret place of prayer. And as

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.939
I was teaching, suddenly the Holy Spirit came

00:01:35.939 --> 00:01:40.280
upon me. with a prophetic mantle and I began

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.700
to operate in the spirit of seeing and knowing.

00:01:43.939 --> 00:01:47.879
Now, remember, this was 12 years ago. And as

00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:52.739
I was operating in the spirit, I saw the body

00:01:52.739 --> 00:01:57.680
of Christ and I saw the body of Christ being

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.340
bullied and taunted and told to shut up and being

00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:06.079
abused. And the Lord said, There is coming a

00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.039
time and there is coming a day when my church

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.840
is going to suffer persecution at the hands of

00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.419
the enemy that is going to operate through people,

00:02:16.539 --> 00:02:19.379
not just through people, but also the demonic

00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:22.840
warfare that was going to be manifested in the

00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.979
atmosphere. And the Spirit of God said to me,

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.780
and he said to the people that were in attendance,

00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:32.159
he said, it is very important for my people,

00:02:32.259 --> 00:02:36.479
my church, In order for them to survive in the

00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.360
days and in the seasons that we are moving into,

00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:43.939
he said it's very important that my people know

00:02:43.939 --> 00:02:48.460
me. He said, if my people don't know me intimately

00:02:48.460 --> 00:02:51.419
and don't understand my heart, don't know my

00:02:51.419 --> 00:02:53.740
word, don't have a connection with me in the

00:02:53.740 --> 00:02:57.580
place of prayer, he said, they are not going

00:02:57.580 --> 00:03:01.240
to survive in the times and the seasons that

00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.259
is coming upon the earth. Now, you know as well

00:03:04.259 --> 00:03:07.460
as I do that within those 12 years, we could

00:03:07.460 --> 00:03:11.139
no longer say Merry Christmas. It was Happy Holidays.

00:03:11.819 --> 00:03:14.460
And God forbid you were a Christian. God forbid

00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:17.039
you talked about your faith. You know, we were

00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.879
starting to get muffled, silenced. There was

00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.419
a lot of warfare against the body of Christ.

00:03:22.580 --> 00:03:25.800
And we did enter into a season of a lot of bullying.

00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.400
People made fun of us. They mocked us. And it

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:35.129
has been a very... time I believe for the body

00:03:35.129 --> 00:03:38.050
of Christ but when I woke up this morning and

00:03:38.050 --> 00:03:40.610
the Holy Spirit interrupted me and my teaching

00:03:40.610 --> 00:03:44.909
he's he highlighted two scriptures to me and

00:03:44.909 --> 00:03:48.430
the first scripture comes from Exodus 33 and

00:03:48.430 --> 00:03:51.550
it speaks of the children of Israel and then

00:03:51.550 --> 00:03:55.430
it also speaks about Moses but it says here in

00:03:55.430 --> 00:03:59.150
the scripture wherefore met Moses went out to

00:03:59.150 --> 00:04:03.830
the tent and all the people would rise up and

00:04:03.830 --> 00:04:08.449
each would stand at his tent door and watch Moses

00:04:08.449 --> 00:04:12.330
until he had gone into the tent. When Moses entered

00:04:12.330 --> 00:04:15.110
the tent, the pillar of the cloud of the glory

00:04:15.110 --> 00:04:18.209
would descend and stand at the entrance of the

00:04:18.209 --> 00:04:22.769
tent and the Lord would speak to Moses. Now all

00:04:22.769 --> 00:04:26.569
the people, they saw the pillar of cloud standing

00:04:26.569 --> 00:04:29.550
at the entrance of the tent and all the people

00:04:29.550 --> 00:04:33.560
would rise up and worship. each at his tent door

00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:38.879
but moses the bible says used to speak to god

00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.560
face to face as a man speaks to his friends so

00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.579
the spirit of god was highlighting to me and

00:04:46.579 --> 00:04:49.759
he wants me to share with you that there are

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:54.300
believers in the church that are standing outside

00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:57.709
the tent door so to speak And they are afraid

00:04:57.709 --> 00:05:00.430
to look at God. They are afraid to enter into

00:05:00.430 --> 00:05:04.110
the presence of God. They are distracted. They

00:05:04.110 --> 00:05:07.050
don't want to enter into the secret place of

00:05:07.050 --> 00:05:10.250
prayer. They are distracted by the noise of the

00:05:10.250 --> 00:05:12.870
enemy. They are distracted because of the cares

00:05:12.870 --> 00:05:16.209
of this world, the deceitfulness of riches. the

00:05:16.209 --> 00:05:19.509
lusts of other things entering in, and it's choking

00:05:19.509 --> 00:05:23.569
their walk with me. It's choking their relationship

00:05:23.569 --> 00:05:26.689
with me. And again, the Spirit of God said to

00:05:26.689 --> 00:05:30.290
me, and if they are going to survive in the times

00:05:30.290 --> 00:05:32.310
and the seasons that are upon the earth today,

00:05:32.629 --> 00:05:36.110
they have got to know me intimately. They've

00:05:36.110 --> 00:05:39.009
got to understand the wonders of my heart. They've

00:05:39.009 --> 00:05:41.569
got to understand the principles of my word.

00:05:41.730 --> 00:05:45.350
They have got to know me in order to survive.

00:05:45.389 --> 00:05:48.769
the times and the seasons that we live in. So

00:05:48.769 --> 00:05:51.329
my friends, it's not a time for us to stand outside

00:05:51.329 --> 00:05:54.910
the tent door. It's a time for us to enter in

00:05:54.910 --> 00:06:00.269
and get to know God for ourselves. It is imperative

00:06:00.269 --> 00:06:05.750
that we get to know God for ourselves. Now we

00:06:05.750 --> 00:06:09.060
see in this scripture. That Moses was a leader

00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:13.079
and Moses was a man of God and he had intimacy

00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.279
with God. He understood God's heart. Now, it

00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.199
wasn't always like that in the beginning, because

00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.160
in the beginning, when God first came to him,

00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:24.800
Moses was afraid to look at God. But as Moses

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.279
got to know God through experience, through his

00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.360
character, through God's keeping his word by

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.660
spending time in the presence of God. Now, Moses

00:06:33.660 --> 00:06:39.800
is his. His relationship with God changed in

00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.699
that he was no longer afraid. He trusted God.

00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.319
He was intimate with God. And he eventually had

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.920
a relationship with God face to face as a man

00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.000
speaks to his friends. So we thank God for Moses.

00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.319
We thank God that he had this relationship with

00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:00.040
him. But I want to speak to those of you who

00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:04.490
are leaders. And maybe some of you who are up

00:07:04.490 --> 00:07:07.149
and coming, what I would call budding leaders.

00:07:07.629 --> 00:07:10.209
It's important that, yes, the body of Christ,

00:07:10.250 --> 00:07:13.490
the people we minister to know God for themselves.

00:07:14.069 --> 00:07:18.290
But it's also important for leadership. Those

00:07:18.290 --> 00:07:21.230
of you that are in leadership and those of you

00:07:21.230 --> 00:07:23.230
that are like the Joshua's, you're being trained,

00:07:23.389 --> 00:07:26.350
you're being groomed for leadership. It's important

00:07:26.350 --> 00:07:31.180
that you and I in our leadership positions. Know

00:07:31.180 --> 00:07:34.759
God for ourselves. And some of you may say, well,

00:07:34.819 --> 00:07:38.480
how is that even possible? If my leader or my

00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.779
pastor or this prophet or that prophet, if they're

00:07:41.779 --> 00:07:44.800
in leadership, they must know God for themselves.

00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:47.439
And I'm going to say this very boldly. I'm a

00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.540
traveling minister. I've been in ministry for

00:07:49.540 --> 00:07:56.339
45 years. Not all leaders have the edge. of knowing

00:07:56.339 --> 00:08:00.740
God intimately for themselves. And I'm not condemning

00:08:00.740 --> 00:08:03.899
anybody. We've all been there. Ministry is a

00:08:03.899 --> 00:08:07.060
lot. And the Bible even talks about the apostle

00:08:07.060 --> 00:08:10.500
Paul said, at times the care of the ministry

00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:13.860
would come upon me. And yes, there's times when

00:08:13.860 --> 00:08:16.779
the cares of the ministry come upon us, the cares

00:08:16.779 --> 00:08:20.389
of, you know, working for God. and just doing

00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:23.250
so many things and the cares of we have so much

00:08:23.250 --> 00:08:26.709
responsibility. But we as leaders have to choose

00:08:26.709 --> 00:08:29.889
the first works. The very first thing that we

00:08:29.889 --> 00:08:33.250
should be doing is maintaining our walk with

00:08:33.250 --> 00:08:38.250
God, maintaining our intimacy with him, because

00:08:38.250 --> 00:08:43.409
all true ministry is born out of intimacy with

00:08:43.409 --> 00:08:47.990
God. And as leaders, if we don't have. intimacy

00:08:47.990 --> 00:08:52.649
with him. We are what the Bible calls cisterns,

00:08:52.649 --> 00:08:57.370
broken cisterns that can hold no water. And we

00:08:57.370 --> 00:09:00.830
are ministering out of our reserve. We are not

00:09:00.830 --> 00:09:05.009
ministering out of our overflow. Which brings

00:09:05.009 --> 00:09:07.610
me to the second scripture I heard this morning

00:09:07.610 --> 00:09:14.129
to share with you. It's Jeremiah 2 .13. God said,

00:09:14.230 --> 00:09:17.629
now this is the heart of God. For my people have

00:09:17.629 --> 00:09:23.590
committed two evils. They have forsaken me, the

00:09:23.590 --> 00:09:26.950
fountain of living waters, and have hewed them

00:09:26.950 --> 00:09:31.409
out cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no

00:09:31.409 --> 00:09:35.750
water. Now, who is God speaking to? In context,

00:09:36.070 --> 00:09:41.049
God is speaking to the prophets, those who were

00:09:41.049 --> 00:09:44.769
falsely claiming to speak for him, the priests.

00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:49.059
Those who had abandoned true worship, the kings

00:09:49.059 --> 00:09:52.340
and leaders who made political deals instead

00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:56.080
of relying on God. And he was also speaking.

00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.600
To the people as a whole. Who follow their lead.

00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:03.159
So he said. My people have committed two evils.

00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.259
They have forsaken me. The fountain of living

00:10:05.259 --> 00:10:08.559
waters. And they have become cisterns. Broken

00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:12.120
cisterns. That can hold no water. Now let's back

00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.340
this up in scripture. Where did it say that Margie?

00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:18.500
It said that in Jeremiah 2 .8. Just a few verses

00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:22.259
before verse 13. It says in the scripture. The

00:10:22.259 --> 00:10:25.519
priest said not. Where is the Lord? And they

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:29.580
that handle the law knew me not. The pastors

00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:32.799
also transgressed against me. And the prophets

00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.860
prophesied by Baal and walked after things that

00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:41.519
do not prophesy. So this verse specifically calls

00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.840
out the spiritual leadership. Now, the priests

00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:49.539
ignored God's presence. And you know what that

00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:52.539
reminds me of? And this all came to me today.

00:10:55.070 --> 00:10:58.330
of our seeker friendly churches. We don't want

00:10:58.330 --> 00:11:00.429
any tongues. We don't want any interpretation

00:11:00.429 --> 00:11:03.490
of tongues. We don't want the Holy Spirit moving

00:11:03.490 --> 00:11:06.610
and operating in our churches. We don't want

00:11:06.610 --> 00:11:11.070
to offend anybody. Well, you know what? The Holy

00:11:11.070 --> 00:11:15.610
Spirit is alive and well, and he desires to demonstrate

00:11:15.610 --> 00:11:19.169
himself. The apostle Paul said, and my speech

00:11:19.169 --> 00:11:23.279
and my preaching. was not with enticing words

00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:27.379
of man's wisdom, but in what? In demonstration

00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:30.299
of the spirit and of power, so that your faith

00:11:30.299 --> 00:11:33.639
won't be in the wisdom of man, but in the power

00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.700
of God. And so often as leaders, we speak very...

00:11:41.549 --> 00:11:45.750
you know, just very eloquently. And we have all

00:11:45.750 --> 00:11:48.330
our outlines. We have everything under control.

00:11:48.409 --> 00:11:51.190
And we're not allowing the Holy Spirit to move

00:11:51.190 --> 00:11:53.710
in our midst. My friends, if we're going to survive

00:11:53.710 --> 00:11:56.230
in the times and the seasons that are upon the

00:11:56.230 --> 00:12:00.210
earth, we have got to allow the Holy Spirit to

00:12:00.210 --> 00:12:03.330
have his way in our meetings. So the priests

00:12:03.330 --> 00:12:06.230
were ignoring God's presence. And then it says

00:12:06.230 --> 00:12:10.120
that also the law. Those experts of the law,

00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.440
the scribes and the teachers, honestly, the scripture

00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.559
says that they truly didn't know him. Now, I

00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.539
could tell you from experience that I have a

00:12:18.539 --> 00:12:21.440
gift. I have a gift of teaching. And it's pretty

00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:25.529
easy once you crafted your gift. to flow and

00:12:25.529 --> 00:12:28.169
to operate in your gift, to put an outline together

00:12:28.169 --> 00:12:32.389
and just to teach the Bible, not only because

00:12:32.389 --> 00:12:36.370
of your gift, but because the word of God is

00:12:36.370 --> 00:12:39.870
anointed. It doesn't return void. It goes forth.

00:12:40.070 --> 00:12:43.649
It produces what God desires to do, whether the

00:12:43.649 --> 00:12:47.769
leader has intimacy with God or not. So God is

00:12:47.769 --> 00:12:52.000
speaking. to those scribes and those Pharisees,

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.820
he's talking to them as well. So we can have

00:12:54.820 --> 00:12:57.500
a teaching gift, but truly not know him. And

00:12:57.500 --> 00:13:00.019
I don't know about you, but I don't want that.

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.559
I've had people have so many invitations for

00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.620
all these different things. And I tell people,

00:13:05.659 --> 00:13:09.919
I cannot take this or I can't do that because

00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.820
I don't want it to take away from my relationship,

00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.259
my intimacy with God, because everything else

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:21.039
will be wood. hay and stubble okay who else was

00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.700
he talking to the pastors and the shepherds likely

00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:27.639
referring to kings and leaders who were sinning

00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:31.379
openly now he also spoke in this verse to prophets

00:13:31.379 --> 00:13:34.039
and it says here in the scripture the prophets

00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:38.039
spoke in the name of baal a false god and the

00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.960
holy spirit said to me it's very important if

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.960
you're called to be a prophet a true prophet

00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.159
like a real one not just operating in a prophetic

00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.539
anointing every once in a while i'm talking about

00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:52.360
a true prophet five -fold ministry gift ephesians

00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.980
chapter 4 verse 11 through 18. you are called

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:59.259
to be a true prophet it is important that we

00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:03.879
as prophets Spend time in the presence of God.

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:07.620
Get the word of the Lord from the presence of

00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:10.820
God, from the heart of God by spending time with

00:14:10.820 --> 00:14:14.960
him and then ultimately minister again out of

00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:18.980
our overflow. I've seen people who are called

00:14:18.980 --> 00:14:21.960
in prophetic ministry and suddenly there's all

00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:25.220
this pressure on them. pressure on them to perform,

00:14:25.419 --> 00:14:28.080
pressure on them to have a word, pressure on

00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.220
them to lay hands and have a word. You could

00:14:30.220 --> 00:14:34.240
feel the human nature of people pulling on the

00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.539
man and not God. And I've seen it happen where

00:14:37.539 --> 00:14:39.899
they feel the pressure and they start to yield

00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:44.679
over onto false spirits or the wrong spirit and

00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:47.879
they get into trouble. That's why it's important.

00:14:48.460 --> 00:14:50.740
that if you're called into a five -fold leadership

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:53.480
position, not just the prophets, that you spend

00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:58.440
time in the secret place with God and you walk

00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:02.139
with him and you spend time with him and everything

00:15:02.139 --> 00:15:06.350
else. should flow up out of that. I saw Kenneth

00:15:06.350 --> 00:15:08.809
E. Hagin. He was a true prophet of God, like

00:15:08.809 --> 00:15:12.309
the real deal. And I saw him at Ramah when I

00:15:12.309 --> 00:15:14.730
went to Bible college there. There would be times

00:15:14.730 --> 00:15:18.769
people were just wanting him to prophesy or wanting

00:15:18.769 --> 00:15:21.769
him to have some kind of spectacular manifestation

00:15:21.769 --> 00:15:24.309
of the Holy Spirit. And you know what? I can

00:15:24.309 --> 00:15:27.370
remember times he'd walk off. He'd teach the

00:15:27.370 --> 00:15:30.870
Bible. And then he'd walk off. He was not going

00:15:30.870 --> 00:15:35.789
to give into the pressure from the people. He

00:15:35.789 --> 00:15:39.230
refused to operate in any kind of spirit, but

00:15:39.230 --> 00:15:43.450
the Holy Spirit. So what does this mean? He said,

00:15:43.490 --> 00:15:46.149
my people have forsaken me, the fountain of living

00:15:46.149 --> 00:15:49.269
waters. God was saying to them, listen, I'm the

00:15:49.269 --> 00:15:53.490
source of life. I'm the source of purity. I'm

00:15:53.490 --> 00:15:56.669
the source of refreshment. Everything that you

00:15:56.669 --> 00:15:59.370
need. He said, and you walked away from me. Is

00:15:59.370 --> 00:16:02.230
it possible? Absolutely possible. And then he

00:16:02.230 --> 00:16:05.870
says, and what's the result? Your cisterns, broken

00:16:05.870 --> 00:16:09.750
cisterns that can hold no water. A cistern is

00:16:09.750 --> 00:16:13.789
a container that holds water that feeds a whole

00:16:13.789 --> 00:16:16.830
city. And he says, what's happened now is, he

00:16:16.830 --> 00:16:19.700
says, you're leaving. And you're not ministering

00:16:19.700 --> 00:16:22.000
out of your overflow. And that's why many of

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.000
you are tired. You're weary. You're getting burned

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.559
out because you have neglected your first love.

00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:35.159
And what God is saying is, I want you to come

00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:40.299
back to me. He says in Jeremiah 2, I did this

00:16:40.299 --> 00:16:43.500
for you. I did that for you. But what did I do

00:16:43.500 --> 00:16:49.009
for you to pull away? from me and whenever I've

00:16:49.009 --> 00:16:52.830
read Jeremiah chapter 2 I've always felt and

00:16:52.830 --> 00:16:55.269
I didn't really understand it until the last

00:16:55.269 --> 00:16:58.649
couple of weeks I always felt the emotion of

00:16:58.649 --> 00:17:01.830
god the heart of god and he was like what did

00:17:01.830 --> 00:17:05.809
i do i did all these things for you but now here

00:17:05.809 --> 00:17:09.170
we are now you've forsaken me the fountain of

00:17:09.170 --> 00:17:12.630
living waters i want you to return to me i want

00:17:12.630 --> 00:17:15.329
you to come back to me all you that labor and

00:17:15.329 --> 00:17:17.690
a heavy laden i want to anoint you with fresh

00:17:17.690 --> 00:17:22.109
oil and i want to give you rest there's emotion

00:17:23.230 --> 00:17:25.470
In this scripture, and it reminds me of what

00:17:25.470 --> 00:17:28.750
we shared last week, where God said to Adam and

00:17:28.750 --> 00:17:31.990
Eve, where are you? And that term, where are

00:17:31.990 --> 00:17:36.130
you, highlighted, you know, it was a, there was

00:17:36.130 --> 00:17:38.990
emotion connected to it. It was the word that

00:17:38.990 --> 00:17:43.650
we shared, A -Y -Y -E -K -A. And according to

00:17:43.650 --> 00:17:49.900
the commentators, this word. is as a divine lament

00:17:49.900 --> 00:17:53.980
expressing sorrow, not confusion. So God was

00:17:53.980 --> 00:17:56.079
saying to Adam and Eve, and he was saying to

00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.799
these leaders, where are you? We used to walk

00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.900
together. We used to call labor together. And

00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:08.240
listen, I am calling you back to my heart, because

00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.720
if you and I are going to survive in the times

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:13.900
and the seasons that we are upon the earth today,

00:18:14.059 --> 00:18:18.569
we have got to know God first. for ourselves.

00:18:19.130 --> 00:18:21.589
Okay. We're going to take a break here and I'm

00:18:21.589 --> 00:18:24.250
going to come back and I'm going to read to you

00:18:24.250 --> 00:18:28.250
a prophetic dream by a man of God by the name

00:18:28.250 --> 00:18:33.769
of Jeremiah Johnson. My book Contend, Stewarding

00:18:33.769 --> 00:18:35.829
the Hearts and Destinies of Our Children Through

00:18:35.829 --> 00:18:39.710
Prayer, is one of my most favorite projects thus

00:18:39.710 --> 00:18:43.809
far. In this book, I teach the reader how to

00:18:43.809 --> 00:18:47.690
pray effectively for their children, their grandchildren.

00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.200
and the rising generations that are in the earth

00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:54.619
today. Make no mistake about it. There is war

00:18:54.619 --> 00:18:57.579
over the hearts and the destinies of our children.

00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:01.579
And this book will equip you as to how to pray

00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:05.180
effectively for those young people. In this book,

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:07.980
I teach you about the power and the purpose of

00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:10.700
praying in tongues. I show you what a prayer

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:14.400
alert looks like. There are sample prayers. Not

00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:17.799
only that, there are outlines at the end of each

00:19:17.900 --> 00:19:21.019
chapter. So if you run a Bible study, you can

00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:24.539
use this book as a springboard to teach others

00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:27.700
how to pray for their children. Go to my website

00:19:27.700 --> 00:19:32.140
at margieflorent .org and pick up your own copy.

00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:44.119
So let's continue in what I feel strongly in

00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:46.839
my heart. The spirit of God wants to say to us

00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:52.359
today. So God is calling us back to his heart.

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:57.059
He is calling us to return to our first love.

00:19:57.460 --> 00:20:00.099
He's calling the believers. He's calling the

00:20:00.099 --> 00:20:02.339
church of Jesus Christ, the body of Christ. And

00:20:02.339 --> 00:20:06.680
he's also calling the leaders back to his heart.

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:10.690
And if you and I. have already walked with him.

00:20:10.829 --> 00:20:14.309
We have already spent time with him. We already

00:20:14.309 --> 00:20:17.410
know him. I just want to share with you that

00:20:17.410 --> 00:20:20.990
there are degrees of knowing God. You know, we,

00:20:21.089 --> 00:20:24.329
while we are here on this earth, we are continually

00:20:24.329 --> 00:20:28.849
going to be changed from glory to glory to glory.

00:20:28.950 --> 00:20:31.190
So what does that mean right now? It means he's

00:20:31.190 --> 00:20:34.549
calling you. He's calling me into a higher level

00:20:34.549 --> 00:20:40.150
of commitment with him. in the secret place and

00:20:40.150 --> 00:20:43.529
everything else will flow out of that intimacy

00:20:43.529 --> 00:20:47.930
with him okay now i said i wanted to read to

00:20:47.930 --> 00:20:51.029
you a prophecy that came forth from jeremiah

00:20:51.029 --> 00:20:57.210
johnson and this prophecy came out on 9 22 25

00:20:57.210 --> 00:21:03.150
and jeremiah received this uh word in a prophetic

00:21:03.150 --> 00:21:07.240
dream and he called it the title of it is the

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:11.359
future presidency of Charlie Kirk and the coming

00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.819
prophetic showdown and you're going to see that

00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:17.299
what the Holy Spirit gave me this morning goes

00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:19.859
right along with what the Holy Spirit said to

00:21:19.859 --> 00:21:24.180
Jeremiah Johnson Jeremiah said in my dream last

00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:28.619
night I was walking on a path and talking with

00:21:28.619 --> 00:21:32.500
the Holy Spirit about the profound and unusual

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:37.049
sense of grief in the earth concerning the assassination

00:21:37.049 --> 00:21:40.410
of Charlie Kirk. Isn't that true? Didn't you

00:21:40.410 --> 00:21:43.049
feel like you got hit in the stomach? Like there

00:21:43.049 --> 00:21:46.690
was such a grieving and it was all of us felt

00:21:46.690 --> 00:21:50.269
it. And so he goes on to say, I asked him, asked

00:21:50.269 --> 00:21:53.990
the Holy Spirit, why does Charlie's death carry

00:21:53.990 --> 00:21:57.950
such a measurable weight of sadness and grief

00:21:57.950 --> 00:22:01.779
about it? God said to him, because people are

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:04.880
grieving the death of a future president of the

00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.299
United States and don't even know it. They are

00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:12.720
experiencing the totality of lost over future

00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:16.380
decades, not just what happened the day of the

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:19.920
assassination or even what Charlie accomplished

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:25.309
in 31 years of his life. And he goes on to say

00:22:25.309 --> 00:22:28.450
Jeremiah goes on to say when I heard these incredibly

00:22:28.450 --> 00:22:31.710
difficult words I dropped to my knees on the

00:22:31.710 --> 00:22:35.390
path and began to sob. It was like a divine mystery

00:22:35.390 --> 00:22:38.930
had suddenly been solved. I immediately understood

00:22:38.930 --> 00:22:44.089
why Charlie's death impacted millions globally

00:22:44.089 --> 00:22:48.410
both who knew him and who had never met him.

00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:51.740
It was because of his life and future calling

00:22:51.740 --> 00:22:55.759
as president of the United States was going to

00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.700
touch the nations of the earth and shift America.

00:22:59.220 --> 00:23:02.660
People were experiencing the depth of the loss

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:07.380
of one of God's sons and champions. As I wept

00:23:07.380 --> 00:23:10.839
and wept, Jeremiah said, I heard demons laughing

00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:14.359
and hissing loudly. I knew they were claiming

00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:18.720
victory and mocking God. The peace of Jesus suddenly

00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.359
overcame me. I stopped crying and remembered

00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.500
1 Corinthians 2 .8, and it says, and it's one

00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:29.220
of my favorite scriptures, none of the rulers

00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:33.319
of this age understood. For if they had, they

00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.839
would have never crucified the Lord of glory.

00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:40.319
And we know the outcome of what happened in Jesus's

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:45.250
death, burial, and resurrection. Jeremiah said,

00:23:45.349 --> 00:23:48.829
I stood to my feet and I prophesied. The devil

00:23:48.829 --> 00:23:52.910
has not won. He is a fool to claim victory. For

00:23:52.910 --> 00:23:57.670
the death of one man, even in... Even his future

00:23:57.670 --> 00:24:01.109
as president does not compare to the millions

00:24:01.109 --> 00:24:03.809
of souls that will be born into the kingdom of

00:24:03.809 --> 00:24:07.670
God in the coming decades. Yes, a seed has fallen

00:24:07.670 --> 00:24:10.869
to the ground, but now a harvest of revival is

00:24:10.869 --> 00:24:14.630
coming like never before. I turned to my left

00:24:14.630 --> 00:24:18.309
and I saw Erica Kirk walking toward me in the

00:24:18.309 --> 00:24:21.609
distance. I turned to my right and I saw a dark

00:24:21.609 --> 00:24:25.440
woman walking toward me in the distance. Erica

00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:28.960
Kirk was dressed in a stunning white dress with

00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:33.240
a sharp sword in her hand. A lion like I have

00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:37.559
never seen before was walking beside her. His

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.200
mane was incredible and there was fire in his

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.960
eyes. The dark woman was dressed in all black

00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.420
and she wore a hood. She carried a book called

00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:54.059
Confusion written all over the cover and a hyena

00:24:54.539 --> 00:24:57.759
Walked next to her, but it constantly went in

00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.700
circles like it was deranged. God said to me,

00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.400
Jeremiah, in the midst of the global harvest

00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:10.099
that is here and coming, Moshe Kei, you will

00:25:10.099 --> 00:25:13.319
see the false prophetic and the true prophetic

00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:17.759
emerge simultaneously. A John the Baptist generation

00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:22.049
will arise clothed in humility. purity, and a

00:25:22.049 --> 00:25:25.309
mandate to prepare the way for my second coming.

00:25:25.410 --> 00:25:28.529
They are firebrands and have a Malachi 3 written

00:25:28.529 --> 00:25:31.690
on their hearts. A false prophetic generation

00:25:31.690 --> 00:25:35.430
will also rise clothed in witchcraft, rebellion,

00:25:35.670 --> 00:25:39.730
and confusion. Like a hyena, they are greedy,

00:25:39.930 --> 00:25:44.829
opportunistic, and hunt in packs. They will attack

00:25:44.829 --> 00:25:48.549
and prey on the wounded and use them for their

00:25:48.549 --> 00:25:54.440
own gain. these false ones will have a dizzying

00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:58.359
effect on those who give ear to them as they

00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:01.819
will continue to circle the same lies over and

00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:05.380
over and over again Jeremiah said I woke up from

00:26:05.380 --> 00:26:10.740
the dream and heard God say tell your generation

00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:16.339
to weep no longer for the season of reaping is

00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:20.680
at hand they must distance themselves from false

00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:24.400
prophets and align themselves with with the true

00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:30.079
prophetic clarity over confusion purity over

00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:37.039
performance prayer over preying on others worship

00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:42.680
over witchcraft repentance over rebellion and

00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:45.980
Jeremiah closes by saying may God help the bride

00:26:45.980 --> 00:26:49.670
navigate these extraordinary times and seasons

00:26:49.670 --> 00:26:52.589
that we are living. So my friends, it's very

00:26:52.589 --> 00:26:56.890
important that you know God for yourself and

00:26:56.890 --> 00:27:01.869
you know what the word of God has to say. So

00:27:01.869 --> 00:27:04.569
father, I just bring those that are listening

00:27:04.569 --> 00:27:07.450
to this broadcast before your throne of grace.

00:27:07.630 --> 00:27:11.009
And I pray that you would draw them in by your

00:27:11.009 --> 00:27:15.049
spirit into the place of intimacy with you by

00:27:15.049 --> 00:27:18.349
revelation. I pray that you would anoint them

00:27:18.349 --> 00:27:21.029
with fresh oil. And I also pray that you would

00:27:21.029 --> 00:27:26.329
anoint the prayer movement with fresh oil so

00:27:26.329 --> 00:27:31.470
that we will flow and know your heart in a greater

00:27:31.470 --> 00:27:36.329
measure. God bless you. This is my book, Decision

00:27:36.329 --> 00:27:40.309
Time. Everyone should read this book, especially

00:27:40.309 --> 00:27:43.930
those of you who are at a crossroads in your

00:27:43.930 --> 00:27:46.569
life. You don't know what to do. You don't know

00:27:46.569 --> 00:27:49.950
how God is leading you. This is the book where

00:27:49.950 --> 00:27:54.029
you reach a place where you say, Lord, not my

00:27:54.029 --> 00:27:58.930
will, your will be done in my life. I also include

00:28:01.890 --> 00:28:04.369
