00:00:00.750 --> 00:00:07.389
Praise God. Thank you. Wow. Thank you, Jesus.

00:00:09.470 --> 00:00:12.810
I feel like when we were coming down here, the

00:00:12.810 --> 00:00:15.650
sun. But, yeah, if you could lower them a little

00:00:15.650 --> 00:00:21.410
bit, that would be great. Thank you, Jesus. Well,

00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:25.989
it's good to be here with you. Yeah, do that

00:00:25.989 --> 00:00:28.230
instead because these are really, really, really

00:00:28.230 --> 00:00:36.299
bright. You feel the anointing? Just give me

00:00:36.299 --> 00:00:42.820
a second. Praise you, Jesus. I just hear the

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:46.259
Spirit of the Lord saying, my yoke is easy, my

00:00:46.259 --> 00:00:50.039
burden is light. I've called you here to come

00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:55.240
unto me. All ye that are laboring and are heavy

00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:02.000
laden, I will give you rest. And you will take

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.480
this rest, and it will not be just for today,

00:01:06.620 --> 00:01:12.920
but this rest will multiply each and every day.

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.599
And you will see that your path is no longer

00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.680
filled with weariness, but your path is like

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.730
the light of day. And it'll grow brighter and

00:01:25.730 --> 00:01:30.250
brighter and brighter and brighter. And you will

00:01:30.250 --> 00:01:35.430
enter into a greater rest of the knowledge of

00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:39.010
my love. For I love you, my daughters, with an

00:01:39.010 --> 00:01:44.370
everlasting love. And my love for you has not

00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:49.750
changed. For I am the Lord God and I change not.

00:01:49.909 --> 00:01:54.859
And you will see. And you will hear and you will

00:01:54.859 --> 00:02:00.519
know with a greater certainty who I am and what

00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:07.239
I desire to do in this new season of your life.

00:02:07.459 --> 00:02:13.099
Because you are entering into a new season with

00:02:13.099 --> 00:02:20.399
me. And it's a season of great fellowship. intimacy

00:02:20.399 --> 00:02:26.419
with me. And as a result, you will run and not

00:02:26.419 --> 00:02:32.060
grow weary. You will walk and not faint. You

00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:36.099
will live and move and have your being in greater

00:02:36.099 --> 00:02:40.139
measures of that which I have called you to be

00:02:40.139 --> 00:02:44.580
and that which I have called you to do. So rejoice

00:02:44.580 --> 00:02:49.479
this day, says the Lord. This is the day freedom.

00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:55.280
This is the day for you to take a hold of this

00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:00.419
word and begin to mount up with wings like an

00:03:00.419 --> 00:03:05.439
eagle and soar into your latter days which will

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.879
be greater than your former days. So this is

00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:14.259
the day that I have provided for you. I have

00:03:14.259 --> 00:03:17.789
provided this time for you. I have provided my

00:03:17.789 --> 00:03:22.289
word for you, and I have provided the anointing

00:03:22.289 --> 00:03:26.270
of my spirit to come upon you and overtake you.

00:03:26.349 --> 00:03:32.530
While my servant yet speaks my word, I am going

00:03:32.530 --> 00:03:37.530
to anoint you, yea, even in your seat. So be

00:03:37.530 --> 00:03:41.330
expectant, says the Lord. Be expectant that I

00:03:41.330 --> 00:03:46.210
am the God of all flesh. and that there is nothing

00:03:46.210 --> 00:03:51.110
too hard for me, for this is your day and this

00:03:51.110 --> 00:03:59.389
is your hour of freedom. Praise God. Wow. Let's

00:03:59.389 --> 00:04:05.110
just lift up our hands. Wow, Jesus. We worship

00:04:05.110 --> 00:04:13.490
you. We honor you. We thank you. Thank you, Jesus.

00:04:16.170 --> 00:04:38.269
For I am a God of restoration. And even as you

00:04:38.269 --> 00:04:42.470
let go of those weights, you... have entered

00:04:42.470 --> 00:04:46.730
into a realm of faith where you have made a decision,

00:04:46.949 --> 00:04:51.550
I am ready to move on. I am ready to move in.

00:04:51.689 --> 00:04:55.610
I am ready for the next step. Lord, I lay it

00:04:55.610 --> 00:04:59.569
aside. Lord, I lay it at your feet. And as you

00:04:59.569 --> 00:05:03.850
do and did that, says the Lord, I am already

00:05:03.850 --> 00:05:08.129
at work, both within you to will and to do of

00:05:08.129 --> 00:05:11.149
my good pleasure. And you will move forward.

00:05:11.339 --> 00:05:17.100
into the reality of who you are and what I have

00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:20.060
called you to be and called you to do. For the

00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:24.939
enemy has desired to have many of you, to sift

00:05:24.939 --> 00:05:29.579
you, to cause you to grow weary in well -doing.

00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:34.079
But I had a plan. And I sit in the heaven even

00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.560
this day and I laugh because I... I have a plan,

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.579
and I'm taking you in, and I'm taking you higher,

00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:47.019
and you're going to soar into all that I have

00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:51.360
called you to soar into, not by might nor by

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:58.480
power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord. Praise

00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:07.639
you, Jesus. We praise you, Jesus. Wow. Thank

00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:14.439
you, Lord. We worship you and we thank you. Wow.

00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.579
Before we get into the ministry of the word,

00:06:18.699 --> 00:06:22.139
I just want to thank Janet and the team, Carol,

00:06:22.339 --> 00:06:25.279
Melody, Debbie, Beth, and Diane, for all the

00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.040
work that they did making this event happen.

00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:35.910
Yes. This is a very creative endeavor. There's

00:06:35.910 --> 00:06:38.750
a prophetic anointing on this whole meeting today.

00:06:38.850 --> 00:06:40.730
I want you to know that and understand that.

00:06:40.810 --> 00:06:43.750
As I watched the video and as I watched how we

00:06:43.750 --> 00:06:47.089
all were laying our weights down, I said, Lord,

00:06:47.170 --> 00:06:50.550
you just got everything under control. And it's

00:06:50.550 --> 00:06:54.350
so wonderful to see that and to see how we're

00:06:54.350 --> 00:06:58.470
all one. I feel personally the way I operate,

00:06:58.670 --> 00:07:09.379
I like to go. like to go just anywhere and everywhere.

00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:12.220
No, no, I'm not into that. I want to go where

00:07:12.220 --> 00:07:15.899
God has connected me. And I feel like we're family,

00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:20.639
don't you? I know Pastor John and his wife, we've

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:25.620
known each other for how many years? You know,

00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:30.279
30, 25 years. So we've really come a long way

00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.300
and here we are today. And this is really good

00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:35.160
to be here. So I just want to thank you for that.

00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.879
We do have books. I just don't want to take too

00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.939
much time. This is Encounter God Through Prayer.

00:07:42.259 --> 00:07:44.899
This takes the reader from the beginning stages

00:07:44.899 --> 00:07:48.800
of how to pray. And, you know, if you've never

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:50.959
prayed before, develop the habit of prayer, how

00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.079
to pray. Begin with 15 minutes. We talk about

00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.399
practicing visualization, how to enter into the

00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.699
presence of God. And I take the reader all the

00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:04.639
way up into meditative prayer. And I want to

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:09.079
give this book to you. Miss Pretty. You got your

00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:16.730
dancing shoes on. Then I have contend moms, grandmas,

00:08:16.850 --> 00:08:20.089
okay, contend stewarding the hearts and destinies

00:08:20.089 --> 00:08:24.709
of our children through prayer. I teach the parents,

00:08:24.910 --> 00:08:27.550
the grandparents, the godparents, the aunts,

00:08:27.550 --> 00:08:31.089
the uncles, how to pray for your children. At

00:08:31.089 --> 00:08:34.870
the very end of this book, I give scripture on

00:08:34.870 --> 00:08:37.929
all the promises of God that are yes and amen

00:08:37.929 --> 00:08:42.330
as to the scripture we can stand on when we pray

00:08:42.330 --> 00:08:44.509
for our children. I teach you how to pray. As

00:08:44.509 --> 00:08:48.379
a matter of fact, in this book. I go into tongues

00:08:48.379 --> 00:08:50.779
and the power of tongues and what tongues will

00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:53.919
produce. Because when we don't know, you know,

00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:58.299
what to pray, we can pray in tongues, pray in

00:08:58.299 --> 00:09:01.419
the Holy Ghost. He searches the hearts. He knows

00:09:01.419 --> 00:09:04.039
what is the mind of the Spirit. And he makes

00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:07.340
intercession for your children exactly what needs

00:09:07.340 --> 00:09:09.879
to be prayed when we don't know what to pray.

00:09:11.059 --> 00:09:14.360
So I want to give this book to this young lady

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.289
right here. Do you have children? Oh, well, you

00:09:17.289 --> 00:09:20.809
look like a child, so. How many of you ever noticed,

00:09:20.889 --> 00:09:23.870
some of you, that, you know, it's like the more

00:09:23.870 --> 00:09:28.269
we become seasoned, the more everyone just looks

00:09:28.269 --> 00:09:31.149
younger and younger and younger. You have a primary

00:09:31.149 --> 00:09:34.230
doctor come walking in, and you go, oh, my God,

00:09:34.269 --> 00:09:37.850
you're a child, and you're treating me. So it's

00:09:37.850 --> 00:09:41.970
just interesting, isn't it? And before, again,

00:09:42.110 --> 00:09:44.470
before we get into the word, I would like to.

00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:48.600
Invite you. I started a prayer call. We're on

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.480
six weeks now. At 9 a .m. every Thursday morning.

00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:56.379
And it's called Together We Pray. And it's a

00:09:56.379 --> 00:09:59.840
KIU prayer conference call. And you are invited

00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:03.120
to come and join us. It's a conference call.

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.480
I am the host. I have no makeup on. I have my

00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.990
crazy. flannel, you know, pajamas on and nobody

00:10:13.990 --> 00:10:17.769
knows it. And it's a beautiful thing. So, you

00:10:17.769 --> 00:10:21.690
know, I teach on prayer and then I lead what

00:10:21.690 --> 00:10:25.509
I call guided prayer. You're muted for my teaching

00:10:25.509 --> 00:10:28.250
and you're muted for most of the prayer, but

00:10:28.250 --> 00:10:30.389
you're praying on your own wherever you are.

00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:32.919
So you could be praying in your car with your

00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.059
headphones. You could be vacuuming. You could

00:10:35.059 --> 00:10:37.460
be cooking. You can join us in prayer. And at

00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:41.460
the end, we unmute. And this last time, we unmuted.

00:10:42.090 --> 00:10:45.809
It was like everyone was just, it was like a

00:10:45.809 --> 00:10:49.009
train going down the tracks, and everyone was

00:10:49.009 --> 00:10:52.110
entering in. And the prayer focus from this last

00:10:52.110 --> 00:10:56.210
Thursday was how to pray for an unbeliever. And

00:10:56.210 --> 00:10:59.250
then we targeted one or two people, whoever God

00:10:59.250 --> 00:11:02.990
laid on, the participants' hearts, and I led

00:11:02.990 --> 00:11:06.429
them into prayer, and then we prayed together.

00:11:06.929 --> 00:11:09.129
And let me tell you, a prayer opens up the door

00:11:09.129 --> 00:11:11.759
for God to work. So this is in your bag. Okay,

00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.240
so it's the conference call number. It's the

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:17.320
access code. You're welcome to join us. We've

00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.679
had as many as 36 on our call. I'm believing

00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:23.440
God for 120, and then we're going to believe

00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.039
for 500, and then we're going to believe for

00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.659
1 ,000. Oh, yeah, it's going to happen. You watch.

00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:37.919
Is Lisa joining us? Hi, Lisa. I love you. Hallelujah.

00:11:38.830 --> 00:11:41.649
The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead

00:11:41.649 --> 00:11:45.509
is quickening your mortal body. Glory be to God.

00:11:46.889 --> 00:11:51.669
Okay, are you ready to get into the word? Praise

00:11:51.669 --> 00:11:55.929
you, Jesus. Freedom to Soar Women's Event 2025.

00:11:56.649 --> 00:12:02.529
Here's our text. Isaiah 40, 28 through 31. Have

00:12:02.529 --> 00:12:09.379
you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:15.000
God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:20.059
earth, neither faints nor grows weary. His understanding

00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:25.879
is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak.

00:12:27.019 --> 00:12:31.320
And those who have no strength, he increases

00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.259
strength. Even the youth shall fail and be weary,

00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.679
and the young men shall utterly fail. But those

00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:45.320
that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.

00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.679
They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They

00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:55.480
shall run and not grow weary. They shall walk

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.929
and not faint. Now, just the fact that you are

00:12:59.929 --> 00:13:03.330
a born -again daughter of God, this is a women's

00:13:03.330 --> 00:13:06.429
event, just the fact that you're a daughter of

00:13:06.429 --> 00:13:11.350
God is proof that you have eagle tendencies on

00:13:11.350 --> 00:13:15.529
the inside of you. Are you listening? You can

00:13:15.529 --> 00:13:18.610
do all things through Christ who strengthened

00:13:18.610 --> 00:13:22.470
you, and he has given you the ability like he

00:13:22.470 --> 00:13:27.080
has given the eagle. So first, before we get

00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.980
into the characteristics of who you are, which

00:13:29.980 --> 00:13:34.500
is an eagle, let's define weary. Weary is the

00:13:34.500 --> 00:13:38.299
term. Weary refers to a state of physical or

00:13:38.299 --> 00:13:42.980
mental exhaustion. It describes a feeling of

00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:47.139
tiredness or fatigue that can result from prolonged

00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:52.240
effort, stress, or lack of rest. Does anybody

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.230
in here know what I'm talking about? Someone

00:13:56.230 --> 00:13:59.929
who is weary may feel drained, lacking energy,

00:14:00.110 --> 00:14:05.450
or in need of a break or a recuperation. How

00:14:05.450 --> 00:14:08.970
many have ever felt like that? The term can also

00:14:08.970 --> 00:14:13.129
imply a sense of being fed up or disillusioned

00:14:13.129 --> 00:14:18.250
with a situation indicating a deeper emotional

00:14:18.250 --> 00:14:21.870
fatigue. And I felt the Spirit of God on that

00:14:21.870 --> 00:14:24.110
part of it, you know, that there's some of you

00:14:24.110 --> 00:14:27.889
that have emotional fatigue, and God is going

00:14:27.889 --> 00:14:32.320
to refresh you today. Daniel 7 .25 says, And

00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.980
they spoke great words against the Most High

00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:38.720
and shall wear out the saints of the Most High

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:42.100
and to think to change the times and the laws.

00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:46.080
Well, the enemy thinks he has us. But we're going

00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.000
to find out some principles into how to get rid

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.039
of that weariness. And that's what the enemy's

00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.600
tactic is, to kill, steal, and destroy, and to

00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.740
wear out the saints. How many of you know what

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:04.149
I'm talking about? Okay, so we live in a season

00:15:04.149 --> 00:15:08.149
where the enemy is trying to wear out the saints.

00:15:08.350 --> 00:15:12.429
But when we intertwine our life with God and

00:15:12.429 --> 00:15:15.990
make him the Lord of our life and give him our

00:15:15.990 --> 00:15:19.990
everything, we will be strong. Now, here's the

00:15:19.990 --> 00:15:23.049
interesting part. Let's define the word wait.

00:15:23.669 --> 00:15:29.009
That word wait, they that wait. That word wait,

00:15:29.110 --> 00:15:31.789
the Hebrew actually turns the light on this passage.

00:15:32.009 --> 00:15:36.470
It says they that wait upon the Lord shall renew

00:15:36.470 --> 00:15:42.309
their strength. That word wait is the transliteration

00:15:42.309 --> 00:15:47.649
from the Hebrew word HWQ. I can't pronounce it.

00:15:47.710 --> 00:15:54.190
Which means to twist or to bind whence a rope.

00:15:54.990 --> 00:16:00.710
Now, before I came here, the thought came to

00:16:00.710 --> 00:16:04.690
me, bring a rope that's all twisted together

00:16:04.690 --> 00:16:09.429
and bring a rope that's been frayed and all the

00:16:09.429 --> 00:16:12.789
little fibers are untwisted and show the ladies

00:16:12.789 --> 00:16:16.570
what it looks like to have their life entwined

00:16:16.570 --> 00:16:19.450
with me and what it looks like when their life

00:16:19.450 --> 00:16:22.450
isn't entwined with me. And the interesting thing

00:16:22.450 --> 00:16:25.639
is... When they played that video, you prophetic

00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:29.740
people, when the word strength came up, how many

00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:33.100
of you saw that rope? And I was like, Lord, I

00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:35.539
just want to give Bruce, I just want to give

00:16:35.539 --> 00:16:38.259
him like a visual just to show the ladies what

00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:41.580
it looks like to have their lives intertwined

00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:44.799
with God. And we already had it in that video.

00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:49.059
That's what it looks like to have your life intertwined

00:16:49.059 --> 00:16:52.059
with God. And that's what happens when you wait

00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:55.700
on the Lord. When you intertwine your life with

00:16:55.700 --> 00:17:06.349
God, you become strong. So the result is what?

00:17:06.650 --> 00:17:11.849
We will mount up with wings like eagles. We will

00:17:11.849 --> 00:17:16.029
run and not grow weary. We will walk and not

00:17:16.029 --> 00:17:19.190
faint. But we've got to have our lives intertwined

00:17:19.190 --> 00:17:21.589
with God. I used to think that verse, they that

00:17:21.589 --> 00:17:24.470
wait upon you, Lord, I'm waiting upon you. That

00:17:24.470 --> 00:17:37.710
word means to intertwine your life. So, before

00:17:37.710 --> 00:17:40.589
we talk about how to intertwine our life with

00:17:40.589 --> 00:17:45.809
God, eagles, say, I'm an eagle. Let's first talk

00:17:45.809 --> 00:17:51.190
about the nature of the eagle. 32 times, eagles

00:17:51.190 --> 00:17:55.349
are referred to as an example of the Christian

00:17:55.349 --> 00:18:00.690
life. That's because eagles are unusual birds

00:18:00.690 --> 00:18:06.630
that are born to soar higher and faster than

00:18:06.630 --> 00:18:12.089
any other bird. All the other birds are not like

00:18:12.089 --> 00:18:15.730
that. But the eagle, they are especially able

00:18:15.730 --> 00:18:21.789
to soar above the storms and clouds and rains

00:18:21.789 --> 00:18:26.549
and winds. They are able to mount up. and because

00:18:26.549 --> 00:18:30.109
they're eagles, they are able to do things and

00:18:30.109 --> 00:18:36.630
soar like no other bird on the planet. Number

00:18:36.630 --> 00:18:40.970
two, when it rains, most birds hide for shelter

00:18:40.970 --> 00:18:45.049
and head for shelter. I'm sorry. When it rains,

00:18:45.190 --> 00:18:50.529
most birds head for the shelter. The eagle, on

00:18:50.529 --> 00:18:53.569
the other hand, is the only bird that, in order

00:18:53.569 --> 00:19:00.180
to avoid the rain, soars above the rain clouds.

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:05.839
This is who you are. I don't feel like I'm like

00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:10.279
that. This is who you are. I don't feel like

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:15.119
I'm like that. This is who you are. I can do

00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.519
all things through Christ who strengthens me.

00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.000
This is what he's created you to be. This is

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:28.569
what he's created you to do. are eagles. And

00:19:28.569 --> 00:19:31.170
I know that you will never be the same after

00:19:31.170 --> 00:19:35.789
this meeting today. The eagle is the only bird

00:19:35.789 --> 00:19:38.970
that in order to avoid the rain soars above the

00:19:38.970 --> 00:19:42.309
rain clouds. That means that an eagle flying

00:19:42.309 --> 00:19:45.309
at an altitude of a thousand feet over open country

00:19:45.309 --> 00:19:49.410
could spot or see prey in an area of almost three

00:19:49.410 --> 00:19:53.740
square miles from a fixed position. Didn't God

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:55.900
say to us the last time we were here that he

00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:59.000
was increasing the faith center in all wisdom

00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.160
and spiritual understanding and that the eyes

00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.220
of your understanding are being opened and enlightened?

00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.779
See, the enemy fears the eyes of your understanding

00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:12.259
being enlightened. Because when you mount up,

00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.740
ladies, as wings, with your wings like an eagle,

00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.400
and you begin to soar, your eyes will be opened

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.240
to the prey of the enemy, and the enemy will

00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.980
not be able to accomplish his will in your families,

00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.519
in your lives, in your regions, in the lives

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:32.039
of your pastors. Listen to me. He is afraid of

00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:36.380
you understanding your God. given identity as

00:20:36.380 --> 00:20:46.440
eagles. Praise you, Jesus. Eagles love a storm.

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:49.519
I said, Lord, really? Give me chapter and verse.

00:20:49.859 --> 00:20:52.039
Count it all joy. I heard it on the way down.

00:20:52.259 --> 00:20:55.039
I finally got a scripture. Hallelujah. Thank

00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:59.279
you, Jesus. Count it all joy. What? What does

00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:00.960
that mean? What does the rest of that verse mean?

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:04.769
Count it all joy. When what? when you fall into

00:21:04.769 --> 00:21:08.410
divers temptations, tests, and trials. Why? Because

00:21:08.410 --> 00:21:13.349
the trying of your faith works patience and makes

00:21:13.349 --> 00:21:20.049
you strong. Don't tell me you can't do it. Don't

00:21:20.049 --> 00:21:22.990
tell me you're not able to run. Don't tell me

00:21:22.990 --> 00:21:29.410
you're not able to walk. You are an eagle. Say,

00:21:29.509 --> 00:21:33.599
I'm an eagle. Put your shoulders back. Postures

00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.119
everything. Put your shoulders up. I'm an eagle.

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.880
This is my true identity. I will not be deceived.

00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:46.319
I am not weak. I am strong in the Lord and in

00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:51.559
the power of his might. Eagles love a storm.

00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:57.519
All right. When clouds gather, the eagles actually

00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:00.529
get excited. Kind of reminds me of my dog in

00:22:00.529 --> 00:22:02.109
a way. You know, he sees a tree and he gets all

00:22:02.109 --> 00:22:09.650
excited. But when clouds gather, the eagles actually

00:22:09.650 --> 00:22:13.690
get excited. The eagle uses the storm winds.

00:22:14.549 --> 00:22:21.950
You ready? To lift it higher. Once it finds the

00:22:21.950 --> 00:22:23.970
wind of the storm, because sometimes you've got

00:22:23.970 --> 00:22:27.710
to find your wind in your storm. You got to find

00:22:27.710 --> 00:22:31.970
your wind in the storm. Where's the wind, Lord?

00:22:32.809 --> 00:22:35.849
Where's the wind? Show me the wind. Show me where

00:22:35.849 --> 00:22:38.609
the wind is so I can need to find my wind in

00:22:38.609 --> 00:22:42.089
the storm. Show me where the wind is, Lord, so

00:22:42.089 --> 00:22:44.950
I can hook up with you and connect with you and

00:22:44.950 --> 00:22:51.970
be made strong. Hallelujah. The eagle uses the

00:22:51.970 --> 00:22:56.670
wind storm to lift it up higher. Once it finds

00:22:56.670 --> 00:22:58.950
the wind in the storm. Notice you have to find

00:22:58.950 --> 00:23:04.390
your wind. I'm stuck on this. You got to find

00:23:04.390 --> 00:23:09.509
it. You can't put your head in the ground. We've

00:23:09.509 --> 00:23:12.750
all been there, done that. Weeping may endure

00:23:12.750 --> 00:23:18.609
for a moment, but joy comes in the morning. If

00:23:18.609 --> 00:23:21.730
you're tired and weary at... Wait for the morning

00:23:21.730 --> 00:23:25.289
because his steadfast love of the Lord never

00:23:25.289 --> 00:23:30.170
changes. It is new every morning. Like the song

00:23:30.170 --> 00:23:34.069
our brother sang, great is his faithfulness.

00:23:35.490 --> 00:23:38.789
Find your wind. That's a message right there.

00:23:38.849 --> 00:23:44.269
Help me to remember this. Find your wind. That's

00:23:44.269 --> 00:23:47.920
a message. Once it finds the wind of the storm,

00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:53.000
the eagle locks its wings. You have no idea what

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.819
I've been through. And I said, Lord, someday

00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:58.940
maybe I'll get to tell it publicly, but I have

00:23:58.940 --> 00:24:02.059
to be really careful because I have children.

00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:07.619
And some things are you just got to keep close

00:24:07.619 --> 00:24:12.099
to the heart. Right? But I've learned in whatsoever

00:24:12.099 --> 00:24:17.000
state I am to be content. I have learned that

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:21.519
I've got to find my wind. I have learned to lock

00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:24.400
my wings in the midst of the storm and in the

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:28.279
midst of the battle and stay true to God. Stay

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:31.420
true to him. He's not the author of the storm.

00:24:32.019 --> 00:24:34.640
The thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy.

00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:37.839
Jesus said, I've come that you may have life,

00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:43.700
girl, and life. more abundantly, girl. That's

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:47.299
the enemy trying to wear you out. Why? I'll tell

00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:51.660
you why. He sees the potential that you carry

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:55.259
and that you are and that what he's put in you.

00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:58.640
He doesn't want you to see it. He wants you to

00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:01.980
stay low. I just need her to stay low. You just

00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:06.000
stay low. Stay low, low, low, low, low, low,

00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:10.140
low, low. No. That's not your nature. You're

00:25:10.140 --> 00:25:13.180
a mounter. You mount up. You got wings like an

00:25:13.180 --> 00:25:16.099
eagle. You're going to run and not grow weary.

00:25:16.420 --> 00:25:20.299
You are the catalyst in getting your family saved

00:25:20.299 --> 00:25:23.980
and coming to the knowledge of the truth in Jesus

00:25:23.980 --> 00:25:27.920
Christ. He fears you taking your place as a watchman

00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:32.480
on the wall of your families. Thou shall be saved

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:36.000
and your household. Well, is there a watchman

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:38.990
in the house? You're Proverbs 31 ladies, aren't

00:25:38.990 --> 00:25:42.849
you? She looks well as to how her household goes.

00:25:43.069 --> 00:25:46.369
That look speaks to me of being a watchman in

00:25:46.369 --> 00:25:49.769
your own house. These generations need the spiritual

00:25:49.769 --> 00:25:54.369
mothers and fathers. So the eagle locks its wings.

00:25:54.549 --> 00:25:57.289
I've locked my wings multiple times, especially

00:25:57.289 --> 00:26:01.470
in the last five years. Did you ever fall? Did

00:26:01.470 --> 00:26:06.200
you ever cry? Did you ever get weary? Yes. Did

00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:09.359
you ever have so much pain that you didn't know

00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:14.779
how you were going to bear it? Yes. But I'm locking

00:26:14.779 --> 00:26:18.940
my wings. I made a commitment to God when I was

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:24.880
19 years old. I will not be stopped. I may be

00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:29.380
shaken. I may be cast down. I may flip over.

00:26:29.619 --> 00:26:34.019
I may be, you know, hurting. But I'm locking

00:26:34.019 --> 00:26:36.759
my wings. I told God a long time ago, and this

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:40.680
is what he's saying to us here. I am going all

00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:48.180
the way with you. Isn't there a scripture that

00:26:48.180 --> 00:26:50.579
talks about even in your old age and your gray

00:26:50.579 --> 00:26:55.579
hair? Hey, Maria. She looks pretty, doesn't she?

00:26:56.539 --> 00:26:59.259
Even in your old age, God said, I'm with you.

00:26:59.299 --> 00:27:03.900
I'm faithful. The thing is about the Florida

00:27:03.900 --> 00:27:08.200
crowd is that God said it's not a time for you

00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:16.799
to retire. It's a time for you to refire. There

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:20.960
is need of the mothers and the fathers to take

00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:25.700
their place today. So the eagle locks their wings

00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:28.980
and uses the fierce raging storm to lift him

00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:32.700
up above the clouds. This gives the eagle an

00:27:32.700 --> 00:27:38.059
opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the

00:27:38.059 --> 00:27:40.779
meantime, all the other birds hide in the leaves

00:27:40.779 --> 00:27:42.799
and the branches of the tree. So there's a reason

00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:47.099
why God calls us eagles. So when we intertwine

00:27:47.099 --> 00:27:50.119
our life with God, we can use the raging storms

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:54.480
of life to ride. Praise to higher heights. If

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:56.880
I hadn't have gone through what I went through

00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.500
in the last five years, I would never be where

00:28:00.500 --> 00:28:06.000
I am today. I am anointed with fresh oil. I am

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:09.720
moving and living and having my being in a greater

00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:13.579
measure of the call of God on my life as never

00:28:13.579 --> 00:28:18.140
before. Hard times either make you bitter or...

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:22.380
It's a choice. You've got to find your wind.

00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:29.740
We will then be able to run and not grow weary.

00:28:30.420 --> 00:28:34.819
We will then be able to walk and not faint. Endurance,

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:37.420
in other words, we will have endurance for everyday

00:28:37.420 --> 00:28:42.230
living. Thank you so much for tuning in to today's
