🎥 Freedom to Soar | Day 1 – Intertwine Your Life with God (Part 3)

WEBVTT

00:00:01.539 --> 00:00:05.459
Psalms 147 .3 says, He heals the brokenhearted

00:00:05.459 --> 00:00:08.599
and binds up the wounds. What else does the Word

00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:11.859
of God do? It creates stability in your life.

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:15.000
When you allow the Word of God to anchor you,

00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:19.140
it holds you steady in the storms of life. For

00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:23.960
example, an anchor on a boat. So you're on the

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.300
boat, you throw out that anchor, and you stabilize.

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.350
The Word of God will stabilize you. Can I be

00:00:31.350 --> 00:00:36.490
honest? I feel, I speak by permission, not by

00:00:36.490 --> 00:00:38.409
commandment. There's a difference. Remember when

00:00:38.409 --> 00:00:42.369
Paul said that? I've seen a lot in 45 years.

00:00:42.490 --> 00:00:45.670
So I saw the word, the word of God, the word

00:00:45.670 --> 00:00:48.450
of faith. It was word, word, word, word. And

00:00:48.450 --> 00:00:51.350
then when I had three kids in one year, I was

00:00:51.350 --> 00:00:55.729
hidden in my house, raising my kids, mentoring

00:00:55.729 --> 00:00:59.939
them. discipling them, being an example to them,

00:01:00.140 --> 00:01:03.140
teaching them how to pray, getting them filled

00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:05.959
with the Holy Ghost and speaking in other tongues,

00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:10.040
letting my light shine before them so that they

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.700
could see my Father and see his good works and

00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:16.280
therefore glorify him. Being a mother is a ministry.

00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:21.560
And I, during that time of raising three kids

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.049
born in one year, Which was a lot of fun. No

00:01:25.049 --> 00:01:27.629
complaints. People go, isn't it hard? It was

00:01:27.629 --> 00:01:34.189
fun. Literally had so much fun. And I didn't

00:01:34.189 --> 00:01:38.510
know that there was a rise of what's called a

00:01:38.510 --> 00:01:42.950
prophetic movement. And when I went back into

00:01:42.950 --> 00:01:46.150
the church world, I was never at a church. I

00:01:46.150 --> 00:01:48.920
was just in children's church. big people's church

00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:50.980
with the children and back in children's church.

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.599
And, you know, I just was in the church. I wasn't

00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:58.500
necessarily, you know, in ministry or leadership

00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:00.439
or even a part of a prayer meeting. I didn't

00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.819
have time. I had three kids, little kids. So

00:02:03.819 --> 00:02:05.739
when I got back, when the kids went to school

00:02:05.739 --> 00:02:09.280
and I went to a prayer meeting, I was shocked.

00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.300
Oh, people don't want to hear this more. You

00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:18.580
better be quiet. It's true. you shocked? Because

00:02:18.580 --> 00:02:23.500
nobody was praying in tongues. Nobody was yielding

00:02:23.500 --> 00:02:26.500
to the Holy Spirit in the place of prayer and

00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:29.520
letting the Holy Ghost lead them and guide them

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.879
in prayer. People would get, I'm not being critical,

00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:34.379
people would get up with the scripture, read

00:02:34.379 --> 00:02:37.419
a scripture, and it just became this, I don't

00:02:37.419 --> 00:02:41.340
even know what it was, a declaration time or

00:02:41.340 --> 00:02:46.000
a show -off time? Sorry. I don't know what. And

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.430
you know what? We lost something. We lost something.

00:02:50.810 --> 00:02:53.849
But I believe the Lord is building the house

00:02:53.849 --> 00:02:58.330
and he's going to take all the streams and he's

00:02:58.330 --> 00:03:01.629
going to put them together and we're going to

00:03:01.629 --> 00:03:06.129
flow as one river and we're going to move in

00:03:06.129 --> 00:03:09.349
unity and we're going to honor one another and

00:03:09.349 --> 00:03:12.789
appreciate one another's gifts and we're going

00:03:12.789 --> 00:03:18.169
to move as that. that can these bones live as

00:03:18.169 --> 00:03:22.129
the body of Christ rising up on her feet and

00:03:22.129 --> 00:03:26.849
taking her place in the building, the kingdom

00:03:26.849 --> 00:03:33.610
of God. So the word of God creates stability.

00:03:34.729 --> 00:03:38.050
So we need to cultivate a simple prayer life.

00:03:38.550 --> 00:03:41.830
I want to emphasize, and we only have another,

00:03:42.030 --> 00:03:46.259
okay. I want to emphasize something that I think

00:03:46.259 --> 00:03:50.740
is really fun. We talked about alone with God.

00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.199
You know, eagles fly alone. It's your alone time

00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.620
with God. It's very important to spend time alone

00:03:57.620 --> 00:04:02.699
with God where you cultivate intimacy. But what

00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:05.599
about, and I hit on this before, but we've got

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.240
new people here. What about praying in your bed?

00:04:09.669 --> 00:04:12.610
That's a really good one. I like that one a lot.

00:04:12.729 --> 00:04:17.009
I had to learn that one. Praying in your bed.

00:04:18.350 --> 00:04:23.790
It says in Psalm 63, 6, on my bed, I remember

00:04:23.790 --> 00:04:31.050
you. I think of you through the watches of the

00:04:31.050 --> 00:04:36.029
night. I love you so much, God, that even in

00:04:36.029 --> 00:04:40.199
the night, I'm thinking about you. Where? Just

00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:44.939
on my bed. No makeup, pajamas, under the covers,

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.800
the kids are asleep, everything's done, the kitchen,

00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:51.540
whatever your vibe is about how you leave the

00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:56.519
kitchen, right? James 4 .8 says, draw near to

00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.279
God, he will draw near to you. So in your bed,

00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:05.100
you can cultivate intimacy with Jesus. you do

00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:07.920
that? You draw inward, you look on the inside

00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:12.120
and you think thoughts towards him and you talk

00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.300
to him about how much you love him and how thankful

00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:20.360
you are for the day and ask him for wisdom concerning

00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.660
decisions. You know, prayer opens up the door

00:05:23.660 --> 00:05:26.839
for God to work. And when you pray, Revelations

00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:31.660
5, 8 says your prayers go up before heaven and

00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:34.639
they're like an incense. So when you're praying

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.160
in your bed, the posture you're laying down,

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.060
isn't that a good thing for us who are weary

00:05:39.060 --> 00:05:41.860
at the end of the day? You're laying down and

00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:45.040
you're praying, but he sees in secret what you're

00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.899
doing in the secret place of your heart. And

00:05:47.899 --> 00:05:51.839
the Bible says he will reward you openly. And

00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.860
I started to really cultivate praying in my bed

00:05:54.860 --> 00:06:00.819
in more recent years because it was such an intimate

00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:06.620
time with him. where I at times would experience

00:06:06.620 --> 00:06:10.519
him right here, everyone say right here, to such

00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:17.040
a level that I would sense or feel a burning

00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.730
in my heart. In other words, drawn near. to God,

00:06:21.810 --> 00:06:25.709
he'll draw near to you. So in that place of praying

00:06:25.709 --> 00:06:28.430
in your bed, just laying there, he can draw near

00:06:28.430 --> 00:06:32.009
to you and he can be close to you as a friend

00:06:32.009 --> 00:06:35.129
who sticks closer than a brother. This kind of

00:06:35.129 --> 00:06:39.189
praying has made me strong. This kind of praying,

00:06:39.269 --> 00:06:42.569
in a way for me, takes out the works. I have

00:06:42.569 --> 00:06:44.470
to be on my knees. I have to be saying a lot.

00:06:44.550 --> 00:06:47.209
I have to, I have to, I have to. No. He's not

00:06:47.209 --> 00:06:50.009
going to hear us because of our many words. God

00:06:50.009 --> 00:06:53.129
looks on the heart. And when you're praying in

00:06:53.129 --> 00:06:56.129
your bed, he's looking at your heart, and you're

00:06:56.129 --> 00:06:59.350
acknowledging him in all of your ways, and he's

00:06:59.350 --> 00:07:02.389
drawing near. And I've had so many times where

00:07:02.389 --> 00:07:06.470
he drew so near to me, my heart burned. And I

00:07:06.470 --> 00:07:09.230
remember Brother Hagin saying, and this is what

00:07:09.230 --> 00:07:12.629
inspired me to get close to Jesus. He said, Jesus.

00:07:13.310 --> 00:07:17.810
is more real to him than his wife laying next

00:07:17.810 --> 00:07:22.579
to him in the bed. And I was like, how did he

00:07:22.579 --> 00:07:25.800
do that? Because he developed and he cultivated

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.480
his inward life, not just his outward life, his

00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:33.779
inward life, his life of prayer, the hidden man

00:07:33.779 --> 00:07:36.899
of the heart. The Bible says, which in his sight

00:07:36.899 --> 00:07:40.120
is of a great price, the hidden man of the heart,

00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.420
acknowledging Jesus and looking unto Jesus to

00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:47.600
author and the finisher of our faith. Looking

00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.779
at him with the eyes of your spirit. You can't

00:07:50.779 --> 00:07:54.459
see him, but he's there. Blessed are those that

00:07:54.459 --> 00:07:58.819
have not seen, but believe he's there. He's an

00:07:58.819 --> 00:08:01.920
ever -present help in the time of trouble. He's

00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.579
right there with you when you're laying in your

00:08:04.579 --> 00:08:17.350
bed. Please cultivate praying in your bed. Pray

00:08:17.350 --> 00:08:24.610
as you go. When we were coming here, you know,

00:08:24.610 --> 00:08:27.670
we took a plane. I had the dog. I have the dog

00:08:27.670 --> 00:08:29.910
with me in case anybody's wondering about my

00:08:29.910 --> 00:08:32.830
dog. Anybody thinking about my dog? He's so cute.

00:08:34.269 --> 00:08:36.710
Milo. You know, it's a big deal. Take the dog.

00:08:38.210 --> 00:08:41.090
I don't know if I should say that, Lord. Can

00:08:41.090 --> 00:08:44.149
I be honest? Maybe I shouldn't say it. I'm going

00:08:44.149 --> 00:08:48.240
to say it anyway because whatever. When I got

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.379
him as a puppy, people were like, well, did you

00:08:51.379 --> 00:08:54.559
give him something to make him sleep? I go, no,

00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.720
I'm the one that took something. Not the dog,

00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:04.700
me. Now the dog, my dog, now he goes with me.

00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:07.419
He stays. He gets in his little crate. He knows

00:09:07.419 --> 00:09:09.720
when it's time to go. You know, habitually you

00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.159
train, right? See, we are being trained habitually

00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.279
as eagles. Your habits determine your destiny.

00:09:19.949 --> 00:09:22.009
Let me watch what you're doing today, and I'll

00:09:22.009 --> 00:09:23.570
tell you what you're going to be tomorrow or

00:09:23.570 --> 00:09:25.909
what's going to happen tomorrow. That's why you've

00:09:25.909 --> 00:09:29.850
got to crucify your flesh. Say no. So anyway,

00:09:30.070 --> 00:09:32.990
habitually he just knows, you know, gets in his

00:09:32.990 --> 00:09:34.950
crate, goes in his crate, turns around, puts

00:09:34.950 --> 00:09:37.029
his head down, and I stick him under the seat,

00:09:37.129 --> 00:09:40.610
and he just sits there, and he's good. He sometimes

00:09:40.610 --> 00:09:42.450
pokes his head out because he wants a treat.

00:09:43.309 --> 00:09:45.269
But, you know, if I give him too many treats,

00:09:45.389 --> 00:09:48.440
when he's in the airplane. And he's going to

00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.820
ask for treats for two and a half hours. We don't

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:54.019
want to develop that habit, now do we? Whatever

00:09:54.019 --> 00:10:02.519
you feed grows. So, you know, on the plane, I

00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.080
don't know what triggered this. I think habits.

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:13.480
Because I will pray with the Spirit. I will pray.

00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.720
with the understanding. I willed, I learned,

00:10:17.899 --> 00:10:21.279
I exercised, I developed the inner man of the

00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:24.019
heart with the word of God and did certain things.

00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.000
So my inner man's very like obvious to me. And

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.360
when it's not obvious to me, I know something's

00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.080
not right and I need to get back into that place.

00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.019
Does that make sense? So I'm in the plane and

00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:39.779
I can't even tell you, I forget the song, but

00:10:39.779 --> 00:10:42.779
I had a song for two and a half hours that played

00:10:42.779 --> 00:10:48.240
over. And over and over and over and over and

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.500
over on the inside of me. Over and over to the

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:55.759
whole time on the plane. It was more real to

00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.679
me than anybody that was around me. It was so

00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:02.440
strong. And then my heart just swelled. And I

00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:06.799
felt a burn. And I felt even on that plane, the

00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:11.600
Lord is with me. My rock and my salvation. Whom

00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.419
shall I fear? I knew that the Lord was with me.

00:11:15.539 --> 00:11:19.379
My shepherd I shall not want. He makes me to

00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:23.000
lie down in green pastures. He's leading me to

00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.759
Fort Myers. He's guiding all my steps. He has

00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:31.309
everything under control. father forsake me.

00:11:31.350 --> 00:11:35.309
The Lord will take me up. He is my husband. He

00:11:35.309 --> 00:11:38.710
is my father. I don't see him, but he's here

00:11:38.710 --> 00:11:43.669
on the inside of me. The whole time on the plane

00:11:43.669 --> 00:11:46.149
ride, it was, I don't even know how to describe

00:11:46.149 --> 00:11:50.909
it. It was like so satisfying to be so close

00:11:50.909 --> 00:11:56.049
to him. Nobody can take that from you. I call

00:11:56.049 --> 00:11:59.830
it the hidden man of the heart. When I spoke

00:11:59.830 --> 00:12:02.889
in the prisons in Ocala, Florida, there was like

00:12:02.889 --> 00:12:05.610
250 women. Didn't know that a lot of them were

00:12:05.610 --> 00:12:07.690
being sexually abused. It was in the paper, so

00:12:07.690 --> 00:12:09.970
I could say it. You know, but you could sense

00:12:09.970 --> 00:12:13.870
the fear. But I told those women, I said, listen,

00:12:14.350 --> 00:12:20.029
nobody can take your intimacy with God away from

00:12:20.029 --> 00:12:23.230
you. Nobody can keep you from praying. They may

00:12:23.230 --> 00:12:26.590
control what you say, what you do, how many steps

00:12:26.590 --> 00:12:29.480
you take, because they are. controlled. Let me

00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.299
tell you, if you've ever ministered in prison,

00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:34.179
do we have any prison ministry people? I'm telling

00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:36.279
you they are controlled. So I tell them when

00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:40.039
you pray at night in your bed, nobody can take

00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.860
that from you. When you walk around in the prison

00:12:42.860 --> 00:12:47.799
and on the grounds, nobody can stop you from

00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:55.220
doing what you do on the inside of you. So it's

00:12:55.220 --> 00:12:59.129
praying as you go. 1 Thessalonians, I never used

00:12:59.129 --> 00:13:01.450
to understand this scripture. It says, pray without

00:13:01.450 --> 00:13:06.629
ceasing. I used to say, what? You can do it.

00:13:07.169 --> 00:13:10.169
It's a practice. Remember Brother Lawrence, the

00:13:10.169 --> 00:13:11.850
book, The Practice of the Presence of God? I

00:13:11.850 --> 00:13:14.549
think that's what it is. Pray without ceasing,

00:13:14.590 --> 00:13:17.809
praying always. And this develops friendship

00:13:17.809 --> 00:13:19.750
with God. And we're going to close with this.

00:13:20.889 --> 00:13:25.710
We need to pray more worship -based prayer. Psalms

00:13:25.710 --> 00:13:28.929
3419 says, many are the afflictions of the righteous.

00:13:32.070 --> 00:13:37.110
I'm not stopping. I don't care. Because the Lord

00:13:37.110 --> 00:13:43.750
delivers them out of them all, all of them. If

00:13:43.750 --> 00:13:46.269
I can be delivered out of the afflictions that

00:13:46.269 --> 00:13:49.370
I went through, you can. I was little Margie.

00:13:50.090 --> 00:13:53.230
Well, I'm kind of big Margie lately because I've

00:13:53.230 --> 00:13:59.539
learned who I am. Right? But what was I saying?

00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:06.019
I forgot. What was the point? Oh, yeah. So, thank

00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:13.620
you. So, I, my daughter, you know how kids are.

00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:20.159
God help us. You get one prayed through, and

00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:21.720
then the next one needs to be prayed through.

00:14:22.940 --> 00:14:26.289
Isn't it something? how it is. Once a mother,

00:14:26.350 --> 00:14:32.590
always a mother. I was in at home and she calls

00:14:32.590 --> 00:14:37.509
me from college. She says, mommy, I hurt my eye

00:14:37.509 --> 00:14:40.529
and something's wrong with my eye. And I, I don't

00:14:40.529 --> 00:14:42.690
know what it is. And she went to the hospital,

00:14:42.950 --> 00:14:46.809
incompetent hospital. You better watch these

00:14:46.809 --> 00:14:49.750
hospitals. You got to have a head on your shoulder.

00:14:50.049 --> 00:14:53.370
You got to listen. You got to be smart. These

00:14:53.370 --> 00:14:56.029
doctors don't all know what they're doing. I'm

00:14:56.029 --> 00:14:58.990
just giving you, I'm sounding a trumpet. She

00:14:58.990 --> 00:15:02.070
went to the hospital, a hospital. They looked

00:15:02.070 --> 00:15:04.110
in her eye. They didn't see that there was a

00:15:04.110 --> 00:15:07.669
contact in her eye. Can you imagine? Lawsuit

00:15:07.669 --> 00:15:12.950
101. But I let it go. Everyone say, let it go.

00:15:18.429 --> 00:15:21.190
She comes home from the hospital. She calls me.

00:15:21.230 --> 00:15:24.909
My eye hurts really bad. I get in the car. You

00:15:24.909 --> 00:15:28.289
know how we are, moms. Six and a half hours,

00:15:28.389 --> 00:15:31.350
leave at six in the morning. Yeah, my husband

00:15:31.350 --> 00:15:33.250
at the time. Yeah, yeah, you should go see her.

00:15:33.870 --> 00:15:38.029
Great. You want to join me? No, sorry. Get in

00:15:38.029 --> 00:15:41.129
the car, six and a half hours. Because, you know,

00:15:41.169 --> 00:15:45.120
some of you are mothers and fathers. And God

00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:49.559
is not unrighteous to forget your work and your

00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.480
labor of love, which you've shown toward his

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.620
name. And some of you are caretakers. You're

00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:58.419
taking care of everybody. And I have a couple

00:15:58.419 --> 00:16:01.259
of friends like that. And it's quite interesting

00:16:01.259 --> 00:16:04.659
to watch, especially at this stage. So I got

00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:07.639
in my car, drove six and a half hours, get to

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.440
her dorm. I looked in her eye, and her eye was

00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:16.649
white. The pupil was infected. You know, you

00:16:16.649 --> 00:16:19.049
got to put on the doctor hat. Long story short,

00:16:19.149 --> 00:16:22.029
we took her to an eye doctor. He said, I've never

00:16:22.029 --> 00:16:25.490
seen a cornea this bad in all of my practice.

00:16:25.570 --> 00:16:29.690
And he referred us to a specialist for corneas.

00:16:30.990 --> 00:16:35.690
He took a look at it. So for four days, we stayed

00:16:35.690 --> 00:16:41.860
in a hotel. You know, I had to give her drops

00:16:41.860 --> 00:16:46.500
in her eyes every, I think it was either every

00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:51.600
hour or every two hours for three days. Right?

00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:01.700
Thank you, Jesus. God is not unrighteous to forget

00:17:01.700 --> 00:17:07.400
your work and labor of love. The things that

00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:13.420
you do in secret. God said, I am going to reward

00:17:13.420 --> 00:17:16.720
you. You don't see the rewards here on this earth.

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:20.019
But when we stand before God, he's going to say,

00:17:20.099 --> 00:17:23.160
well done, thou good and faithful servant. Did

00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.039
you were like, you know, it's like the guy on

00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.500
the road to Damascus. Who's the guy that fell?

00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:32.259
Paul. No, not Paul. The one that was the guy

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:36.109
that was sick. and some people just walked by

00:17:36.109 --> 00:17:39.710
him, and then somebody came. The good Samaritan.

00:17:39.970 --> 00:17:42.829
You don't think that the good Samaritans in the

00:17:42.829 --> 00:17:45.170
seasons that we live in now are going to get

00:17:45.170 --> 00:17:48.210
rewarded? Do you know the Bible says when you

00:17:48.210 --> 00:17:50.769
take care of your mother and father and you honor

00:17:50.769 --> 00:17:54.829
your mother and father, things will go well with

00:17:54.829 --> 00:17:58.329
you, and you will live long on the earth. But

00:17:58.329 --> 00:18:01.789
your works and your labors, they will follow

00:18:01.789 --> 00:18:04.880
you. I say to Marsha all the time, she takes

00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.480
care of her mother. Her mother is 100 years old.

00:18:07.819 --> 00:18:10.279
Marsha is my best friend in the whole wide world,

00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.460
and we don't get to hang out a lot because she's

00:18:12.460 --> 00:18:14.019
always at her mother's, at her mother's. I've

00:18:14.019 --> 00:18:16.059
got to go to my mother's, my mother's. And I

00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:19.240
just have to take a step back because she's fulfilling

00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:24.160
a ministry to her mother. It is a ministry to

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:29.539
her mother. And God sees everything. She may

00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:32.650
not be in a pulpit, but who cares? You use what

00:18:32.650 --> 00:18:34.910
you have in the season that you're in, and God

00:18:34.910 --> 00:18:38.650
said, I'll reward you. So anyway, so four days

00:18:38.650 --> 00:18:41.849
were just three days every hour, drops, drops.

00:18:42.109 --> 00:18:44.769
And during the day when we'd get up, because

00:18:44.769 --> 00:18:48.710
you had to set your alarm, I would just dance.

00:18:49.029 --> 00:18:53.329
I danced around the hotel, not in the room, not

00:18:53.329 --> 00:18:57.920
in the lobby. I danced around the room, and there

00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:03.400
was a song about dance. Let the spirit move you.

00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:06.039
Dance. You know that song? I just dance, and

00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:07.940
I dance. Thank you, Father. I was raising my

00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:10.259
hands. Thank you for healing my daughter. You're

00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:12.579
her strength. You said in your word her eye won't

00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:14.859
grow dim. I thank you that by the stripes she's

00:19:14.859 --> 00:19:17.400
healed. And just dance, dance, dance. And then

00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:19.779
Danielle was taking a shower. She came out. She

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:21.920
saw me dancing. She's like, what are you doing?

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:26.980
Long story short, when we went back to the cornea

00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:30.920
specialist, he said, this is a miracle. He said,

00:19:30.940 --> 00:19:35.279
there's no damage on her cornea. And you know

00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:41.819
what that was a product of? Worship. Praise stills

00:19:41.819 --> 00:19:44.640
the avenger. You want to mount up with wings

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:48.700
like an eagle? Become a praise warrior. I'm going

00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:51.680
to worship God in the midst of this storm. I'm

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.400
going to find my... And I'm going to get into

00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.420
that wind, and I'm going to sing with psalms

00:19:57.420 --> 00:20:00.180
and hymns and spiritual songs, sing and make

00:20:00.180 --> 00:20:02.579
melody in my heart. I'm going to put worship

00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:07.299
music on because praise and worship is the voice

00:20:07.299 --> 00:20:14.420
of faith. Praise you, Lord. Let's stand. We're

00:20:14.420 --> 00:20:16.400
going to have ministry, but I have another hour,

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:20.420
right, at the end, next, after lunch. Thank you,

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:28.450
Jesus. Wow, look at those shoes. Ooh. Come on

00:20:28.450 --> 00:20:35.049
over here. Are you the paint diva? She's the

00:20:35.049 --> 00:20:42.809
paint diva. Look at that outfit. Ooh, baby. You

00:20:42.809 --> 00:20:46.529
look gorgeous. Thank you, Lord. Let's just lift

00:20:46.529 --> 00:20:50.680
our hands. Let's just worship. Everything you

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:55.700
do in secret, you know, you've been hidden. You're

00:20:55.700 --> 00:20:58.319
a hidden girl. I don't want to do this. I don't

00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:00.640
think I can do that. I don't want to speak. You

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.619
know, you're like Moses. I don't want to speak.

00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.519
You have a leadership capacity on the inside

00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:09.500
of you. God's calling you out from the hiding

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:13.759
place, and he's calling you in to speak to people

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:17.470
and talk to people and be a mouth. piece. No,

00:21:17.630 --> 00:21:23.230
I need Aaron. I'm an introvert. Me too. But he

00:21:23.230 --> 00:21:25.690
can take what you have and who you are because

00:21:25.690 --> 00:21:27.730
you have a gift on the inside, and there's a

00:21:27.730 --> 00:21:32.049
gift in you that needs to be unwrapped. You sparkle,

00:21:32.250 --> 00:21:34.769
honey. You sparkle. That's just your inward.

00:21:34.910 --> 00:21:38.890
That's your outward man picking up on your inward

00:21:38.890 --> 00:21:42.569
man. You are called to arise. You are called

00:21:42.569 --> 00:21:45.670
to shine. You are called to sparkle. You are

00:21:45.670 --> 00:21:48.490
called to speak. You are called to be a voice.

00:21:50.059 --> 00:21:53.460
And this creativity that you have here, he's

00:21:53.460 --> 00:21:56.619
going to cause you to paint in different ways

00:21:56.619 --> 00:21:59.920
with words. And he's going to use your words

00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:04.160
to paint on the inside of his people to change

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:07.680
their image of who they see themselves to be.

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:11.339
And as you speak, you're going to paint a vision

00:22:11.339 --> 00:22:14.980
in their hearts of who they really are in Christ.

00:22:15.339 --> 00:22:18.160
Because the spirit of the Lord is upon you. And

00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.130
he's anointed. He wanted you to heal the brokenhearted

00:22:21.130 --> 00:22:24.890
and restore vision to his people. But it's going

00:22:24.890 --> 00:22:29.750
to be the paintbrush is in your mouth. So the

00:22:29.750 --> 00:22:35.769
Lord says, arise, shine, shine, shine. Your light

00:22:35.769 --> 00:22:38.849
has come and the glory of the Lord has risen

00:22:38.849 --> 00:22:45.970
upon you. Eagle. Everyone say eagle. Praise you,

00:22:45.990 --> 00:22:48.569
Lord. Can I have a... Can we just have somebody

00:22:48.569 --> 00:22:52.109
up for music? Is that possible? If we don't have

00:22:52.109 --> 00:22:54.069
it, it's okay. Let's just lift our hands and

00:22:54.069 --> 00:22:56.990
worship him. We had a lot of word, didn't we?

00:22:58.250 --> 00:23:19.900
Oh. other people free. You know, the scriptures

00:23:19.900 --> 00:23:23.240
come into me that, you know, with this, you're

00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.759
able, look at me, you are able to comfort others

00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:31.359
with the same comfort wherewith you've been comforted

00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:34.299
by God. So as God sets you free, you're going

00:23:34.299 --> 00:23:39.339
to cause others to be set free. Thank you, Jesus.

00:23:53.740 --> 00:26:27.880
Let's pray. another service and understand that

00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:30.900
there will be more ministry, but I want to minister

00:26:30.900 --> 00:26:44.099
to specific eagles. Thank you, Lord. And you

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:56.440
can't fly because your wing is broken. God wants

00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:59.180
to minister his anointing to you. Now, Dr. K

00:26:59.180 --> 00:27:02.420
would say she believes in laying on of hands

00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:04.119
and ministering to people's soul, but sometimes

00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:08.259
you also need therapy, and it can work together.

00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:11.539
But I believe also that the Spirit of God is

00:27:11.539 --> 00:27:18.500
here to heal the brokenhearted. And so if you

00:27:18.500 --> 00:27:22.180
want to begin a process today of letting go,

00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:31.119
It's a process. Am I the only one that says it

00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:35.000
like it is? Sometimes it is a process. If you

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:38.839
would like to begin the process of the healing

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:43.059
in your soul from the wounds and from that which

00:27:43.059 --> 00:27:45.980
would have broken your wing, I want you to come

00:27:45.980 --> 00:28:11.269
up and my brother's going to keep singing. Thank

00:28:11.269 --> 00:28:13.509
you so much for tuning in to today's podcast.

00:28:13.890 --> 00:28:15.730

00:28:15.730 --> 00:28:18.329
