🎥 Freedom to Soar | Day 2 – Defining Your New Season (Part 1)

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.839
You pray it, and He can answer it. The effectual,

00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:07.280
fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.480
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.060
so that He can answer it. It goes into the hearts

00:00:13.060 --> 00:00:15.800
of the people. It doesn't return void. It produces

00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:35.380
results. Can you sense it in the seat? I just

00:00:35.380 --> 00:00:37.619
heard the Holy Spirit say, this is the dawn of

00:00:37.619 --> 00:00:45.399
a new day. It's the dawn of a new day. You know,

00:00:45.539 --> 00:00:49.740
I'm a true believer that some things in our lives

00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:54.479
can happen suddenly. And I truly believe that

00:00:54.479 --> 00:01:02.790
this time that we've had together is... huge

00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:08.329
with what God's doing in our lives. And I think

00:01:08.329 --> 00:01:10.409
the weights, the message, everything has just

00:01:10.409 --> 00:01:12.950
been symbolic of the new thing that God's doing

00:01:12.950 --> 00:01:16.489
in our lives. Amen? So before I get into the

00:01:16.489 --> 00:01:18.989
word, I again want to remind everyone, Pastor

00:01:18.989 --> 00:01:22.030
Pam has been on the call with us. Together we

00:01:22.030 --> 00:01:26.329
pray at 9 .30 a .m. Eastern Standard Time every

00:01:26.329 --> 00:01:29.629
Thursday. And I want to invite each and every

00:01:29.629 --> 00:01:34.129
one of you to join us. Huh? 9 a .m. Did I say

00:01:34.129 --> 00:01:40.069
9 .30? Thank you, Mary Jo. So 9 o 'clock Eastern

00:01:40.069 --> 00:01:43.549
Standard Time. It's hard to be in the natural

00:01:43.549 --> 00:01:48.260
and in the spirit. 9 o 'clock Eastern Standard

00:01:48.260 --> 00:01:50.299
Time. Together we pray. There's a conference

00:01:50.299 --> 00:01:53.200
call number and then an access code. It's very

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.560
simple. I'm in charge of muting and unmuting.

00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.359
Nobody even knows who you are or nothing, what

00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.219
you look like. But we really want to invite you

00:02:01.219 --> 00:02:05.260
to join us. I believe the ladies put the cards

00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:08.099
in your bag. If you didn't get one in your bag,

00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.439
we could put some out on the table in the back.

00:02:12.419 --> 00:02:15.430
Praise God. Can we just lift our hands for just

00:02:15.430 --> 00:02:18.969
a second? Thank you, Lord. Lord, we worship you.

00:02:19.930 --> 00:02:25.069
This is a day that you've made for us. We thank

00:02:25.069 --> 00:02:32.189
you. We thank you. We worship you today. We thank

00:02:32.189 --> 00:02:36.509
you. Thank you, Lord. Oh, this is the word. I

00:02:36.509 --> 00:02:39.439
was trying to get it. It was in my spirit. Today,

00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.180
this meeting today has been a defining moment

00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:47.199
for us. It's a defining moment, defining moments

00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.699
plural. And things are changing inside of us,

00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.560
and therefore things are going to change outside

00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.819
in our circumstances. Amen? Okay, so we've been

00:02:59.819 --> 00:03:03.360
talking about the life and the nature of an eagle,

00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:07.039
and we talked about how important it is to intertwine

00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.500
our lives with God, and that that word weight

00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:14.400
means to twist or to bind whence a rope, and

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:18.219
that when we do, we are made strong. We found

00:03:18.219 --> 00:03:21.639
out that 32 times eagles are referred to as an

00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.240
example of the Christian life. We found out that

00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:30.620
when it rains, eagles, while most birds head

00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:35.360
for the shelter, we eagles, we... want to run

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.500
toward that storm, and we want to soar above

00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:41.900
the rain clouds. The Holy Ghost kept giving us

00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:47.180
the saying of find your wind. I have to do more

00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:49.159
research on that, and I would love to make a

00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.659
message out of that. Find your wind in your storm.

00:03:51.860 --> 00:03:55.180
So we found out that eagles like a storm, that

00:03:55.180 --> 00:03:57.939
they get excited when they see the storm because

00:03:57.939 --> 00:04:01.020
they know it's an opportunity to glide and to

00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:04.719
rest its wings and to soar. mount up into higher

00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.060
heights and deeper depths. We found out that

00:04:08.060 --> 00:04:10.599
the eagle tests before it trusts, right, you

00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.419
single ladies? But the place I want to emphasize

00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:18.360
briefly for this afternoon is eagles have strong

00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:24.699
vision. They have the ability to focus on something

00:04:24.699 --> 00:04:29.410
up to 3 .1 miles away. When an eagle sights his

00:04:29.410 --> 00:04:32.970
prey, he narrows his focus on it, and he sets

00:04:32.970 --> 00:04:40.089
out to get it no matter the obstacle. The eagle

00:04:40.089 --> 00:04:44.310
will not move from his focus from the prey until

00:04:44.310 --> 00:04:46.589
he grabs it. So we're going to talk a little

00:04:46.589 --> 00:04:49.949
bit about vision. And then lastly, eagles do

00:04:49.949 --> 00:04:53.629
not eat dead things. And we're going to focus

00:04:53.629 --> 00:04:58.290
on that as well. Amen? If we're going to mount

00:04:58.290 --> 00:05:00.589
up and we're going to soar and be everything

00:05:00.589 --> 00:05:03.389
that God has called us to be and called us to

00:05:03.389 --> 00:05:08.129
do, we've got to find our purpose. And I'm going

00:05:08.129 --> 00:05:12.829
to read to you from Jeremiah 1 .5. It just says,

00:05:12.970 --> 00:05:15.389
it simply says, I'm not going to read it. I'm

00:05:15.389 --> 00:05:19.810
just going to quote it. In Jeremiah's case, God

00:05:19.810 --> 00:05:27.399
said, listen, before I formed you. In your mother's

00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.680
womb, I knew you. Think about that scripture.

00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:35.920
Before I ever formed you in your mother's womb,

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:41.560
God said, I knew you. And in Jeremiah's case,

00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:48.600
he said to Jeremiah, and I ordained you to be

00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:52.939
a prophet to the nations. So two things. Number

00:05:52.939 --> 00:05:56.459
one, before he was ever formed in his mother's

00:05:56.459 --> 00:06:00.160
womb, God knew him. Can I just say it like this?

00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.680
How about we knew God as well? I don't know.

00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:07.620
Ever since I've been a little girl, I've always

00:06:07.620 --> 00:06:11.860
wanted to, in a sense, get back to God. I don't

00:06:11.860 --> 00:06:13.939
know how to describe it, but as a little girl,

00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.259
I wanted to get back to God. I wanted to be close

00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:19.500
to God. As a little girl, I would sit in my backyard

00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:22.759
on a little tree stump, and I used to look up

00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:26.980
into the sky, and I wanted to see God's face.

00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.180
No, I'm a little girl, you know, three years

00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:33.139
old. Nobody ever told me about the song, show

00:06:33.139 --> 00:06:35.819
me your face, Lord, show me your face. Nobody

00:06:35.819 --> 00:06:38.500
told me that when we behold him, we're changed

00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:41.759
into the same image from glory to glory to glory.

00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.639
Nobody ever told me about the life of Moses,

00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:47.959
that, you know, Moses wanted to see God's face.

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.860
And God said, nobody can see me. But I think

00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:53.560
there's something to be said about the understanding

00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.279
of the fact that you are an eternal. eternal

00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.899
being. You have eternity, Ecclesiastes says,

00:07:02.060 --> 00:07:07.040
on the inside of you. And you came from God,

00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.860
right? And I believe we ultimately, we want to

00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:13.939
go back to God, which is our original home. Home

00:07:13.939 --> 00:07:18.319
is really heaven. God is your real father, right?

00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:22.100
But we also have something on the inside of us

00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:27.339
that's unique, right? There's a purpose. a plan

00:07:27.339 --> 00:07:31.540
and a destiny on the inside of each and every

00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:34.360
one of us. And what I would like for each of

00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:37.439
us to do today is under this prophetic anointing

00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.319
that's obviously been here, I want you to let

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.879
the Holy Spirit talk to you in your seat today.

00:07:44.300 --> 00:07:46.699
You have a notebook, you have a pen, you have

00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:50.339
a paper. The team here really organized this

00:07:50.339 --> 00:07:55.000
women's event with supreme excellence. I am so

00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.500
proud of you all who organized this. So you're

00:07:59.500 --> 00:08:03.339
ready. So as I speak, I want you to hear what

00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:07.860
the Spirit of the Lord is saying to you. Right?

00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:12.279
It's not just what I'm saying. It's what is he

00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.420
saying? When I used to sit under the ministry

00:08:16.420 --> 00:08:19.579
of Kenneth E. Hagin, it wasn't just what he said

00:08:19.579 --> 00:08:23.439
or the stories he told. I learned to look and

00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.600
hook up to the inside of me and say, Lord, what

00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.120
are you saying to me while he's saying what he's

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.419
saying? And there was always a word there. I

00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:36.899
think this kind of ministry and teaching, this

00:08:36.899 --> 00:08:39.259
prophetic kind of preaching and teaching, is

00:08:39.259 --> 00:08:44.019
the highest form of prophetic ministry. We don't

00:08:44.019 --> 00:08:47.100
always need a word one -on -one, although it's

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:49.980
good. We don't despise prophesying. But I believe

00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:53.419
that the Bible says they that are led by the

00:08:53.419 --> 00:08:59.019
Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. And

00:08:59.019 --> 00:09:01.820
you're mature enough to hear the voice of God

00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:04.919
for yourself. Well, how does God speak? He speaks

00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:09.340
in a knowing. He speaks when it's on the inside

00:09:09.340 --> 00:09:12.909
of you. You know, it's a consistency. You just

00:09:12.909 --> 00:09:15.950
consistently have the same desire. You consistently

00:09:15.950 --> 00:09:19.250
can't get away from a certain thought or a certain

00:09:19.250 --> 00:09:22.110
desire or a certain hunger towards something

00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:25.649
that's godly. He speaks with a red light. No,

00:09:25.850 --> 00:09:28.690
no, no, don't do that. He speaks with a green

00:09:28.690 --> 00:09:31.809
light. That's it. That's it. Go in that direction.

00:09:32.149 --> 00:09:36.049
It's a feeling on the inside of peace. Doesn't

00:09:36.049 --> 00:09:38.370
the Bible say he will lead us and guide us with

00:09:38.370 --> 00:09:41.340
peace? You will be led forth with peace. Peace

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:43.679
and the mountains and the hills will break forth

00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:45.460
into singing and trees of the field clap their

00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:48.059
hands. So listen to what the Holy Spirit has

00:09:48.059 --> 00:09:51.940
to say because I believe, and I say this by the

00:09:51.940 --> 00:09:55.000
Holy Ghost, there's purposes and purpose on the

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.639
inside of each and every one of you. And for

00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:02.460
some, it's going to be revived. So I'm just going

00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:04.299
to tell you a quick story because it's coming

00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:10.669
up. Last year was a year where I felt. on the

00:10:10.669 --> 00:10:13.669
inside of me felt, I don't know how to explain

00:10:13.669 --> 00:10:16.690
it spiritually, something on the inside of me

00:10:16.690 --> 00:10:25.269
said, said, hold back, pull back, specifically

00:10:25.269 --> 00:10:30.570
pull back on social media. I want you to hide

00:10:30.570 --> 00:10:33.610
yourself in me. Now, I'm going to be honest,

00:10:33.750 --> 00:10:36.710
I didn't totally pull back on social media because

00:10:36.710 --> 00:10:42.840
I have a social media assistant. He just kept

00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.759
posting for me. And you can tell when something's

00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.820
coming from me because it's my dog or it's a

00:10:48.820 --> 00:10:51.019
scripture. Like you could really tell when it's,

00:10:51.019 --> 00:10:54.100
you know, other things like videos and things

00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:56.980
like that. That's my social media system, just

00:10:56.980 --> 00:11:01.039
taking my content, you hearing me, and putting

00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.100
it out there. But the Lord really dealt with

00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:06.340
me. And you've got to listen to the Holy Ghost.

00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:09.879
You know, eagles go through a molting time or

00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.620
a molting season where they go into hiding where

00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:17.179
they take off their feathers, they bite their

00:11:17.179 --> 00:11:20.240
beaks down to nothing, and it's a molting time

00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.399
and it's a season for them to become for themselves

00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:27.740
renewed because they reach a place in their life

00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:33.440
where they need to get strong again because they've

00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:41.730
become weak. Jeez. So I felt in my heart, on

00:11:41.730 --> 00:11:44.029
the inside of me, and I didn't tell a lot of

00:11:44.029 --> 00:11:46.429
people, sometimes, you know, it's like Mary,

00:11:46.529 --> 00:11:48.929
she hid those things in her heart, because not

00:11:48.929 --> 00:11:52.389
everybody's going to understand. The hiddenness

00:11:52.389 --> 00:11:56.309
was really more in my heart, on the inside, pulling

00:11:56.309 --> 00:12:00.070
back, but also just social media, pull back.

00:12:01.129 --> 00:12:03.629
You know, fun things that we did and pictures

00:12:03.629 --> 00:12:06.850
and, you know, Thanksgiving was, I posted some

00:12:06.850 --> 00:12:09.909
pictures, but I'm talking there was just hold

00:12:09.909 --> 00:12:14.509
back. So I would not say to you that I was confused.

00:12:15.289 --> 00:12:19.809
What I would say to you is my sheep hear my voice,

00:12:19.870 --> 00:12:23.710
the voice of a stranger they will not follow,

00:12:23.730 --> 00:12:27.470
and something on the inside of me in a gentle,

00:12:27.570 --> 00:12:32.480
sweet manner. is saying, I want you to pull back.

00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:34.580
And I didn't know as I studied the life of the

00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:36.919
eagle, it was a molting process. Didn't know

00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:41.039
it. So for a year, I did that. Did you stop preaching?

00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.159
I kept preaching. Did you stop doing Facebook

00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.279
lives? Kept doing them. Did you stop interviews?

00:12:46.539 --> 00:12:49.960
Kept doing them. I kept doing everything out

00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:54.820
here, but nobody know that on the inside of me,

00:12:55.059 --> 00:13:12.149
something was... Something on the inside of me

00:13:12.149 --> 00:13:17.210
was being rewritten. I didn't fully understand,

00:13:17.529 --> 00:13:23.029
but it's not my job to understand how he works

00:13:23.029 --> 00:13:26.950
in me, in you, both to will and to do of his

00:13:26.950 --> 00:13:31.429
good pleasure. It's our job to say, I surrender

00:13:31.429 --> 00:13:35.470
all. And if you're telling me to go against the

00:13:35.470 --> 00:13:39.409
grain, pull back from social media, don't post

00:13:39.409 --> 00:13:42.269
all your personal stuff, spend time with me,

00:13:42.350 --> 00:13:46.610
something's changing, I'm going to do it. And

00:13:46.610 --> 00:13:48.960
not everybody's going to understand. And I feel

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.480
like that's why sometimes people, they just run

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.960
on fumes, they burn out, and they never reach

00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:59.940
the full potential of the call of God on their

00:13:59.940 --> 00:14:05.179
lives. Because they've wasted energy on broken

00:14:05.179 --> 00:14:09.500
things, on not the gold, but the stuff that doesn't

00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:17.639
matter. Wood, hay, and stubble will not... What

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:22.100
matters is following, like Caleb, following Jesus

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:26.320
fully. And like the Apostle Paul, I finished

00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.340
my course. I ran the race. And therefore, there's

00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:35.879
laid up for me a crown. It's obeying God fully.

00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.799
So I didn't fully understand. And sometimes when

00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.220
I get like that, my assistant gets a little nervous.

00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:45.049
Are you moving to Florida? Are you still going

00:14:45.049 --> 00:14:46.889
to be here? What's going on? I said, I'm good.

00:14:46.970 --> 00:14:48.330
It's all good. It's all good. It's all good.

00:14:48.690 --> 00:14:54.129
It's all good. See, nobody understands what God's

00:14:54.129 --> 00:14:57.730
doing deep down on the inside of you except you.

00:14:57.789 --> 00:15:01.549
You and God. That's why you have to know God

00:15:01.549 --> 00:15:05.009
for yourself. It's a personal, intimate walk.

00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.840
with him. Because when you stand before God,

00:15:09.059 --> 00:15:11.940
you're not going to stand before God with anybody,

00:15:12.139 --> 00:15:15.179
no matter who that person is. It's going to be

00:15:15.179 --> 00:15:22.000
you and God. And so for me, I felt pulled back.

00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.360
I don't even know how to explain it. It's just

00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.240
pull back. That's the only way I can explain

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.860
it is with the tone of my voice. Pull back. And

00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:34.360
so I pulled back. continue doing all the outward

00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:36.340
things of ministry. You understand what I'm saying?

00:15:37.059 --> 00:15:39.500
But something on the inside, this is the Holy

00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:42.299
Ghost, was being rewritten. And I didn't even

00:15:42.299 --> 00:15:44.539
know it. You know, the Bible says, remember not

00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:47.159
the former things, neither consider the things

00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:52.019
of old. For behold, I am doing a new thing. I

00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:56.059
am doing a new thing. I am that I am that I am

00:15:56.059 --> 00:15:59.220
who created you and formed you in. your mother's

00:15:59.220 --> 00:16:01.480
womb who knew you and predestined you to live

00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:05.259
in a time such as this. I am that I am doing

00:16:05.259 --> 00:16:08.639
such a new thing. The rest is still unwritten.

00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:13.759
How many of you remember that song? And so I

00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.840
came to Fort Myers. My house was already built.

00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:19.860
I was still working on getting settled. And in

00:16:19.860 --> 00:16:22.799
January, you know, I was here in January. I came

00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:27.649
here and I just said, I'm spending a month. here

00:16:27.649 --> 00:16:31.190
or more. I didn't have a ticket home. And I said,

00:16:31.230 --> 00:16:34.950
I'm going to seek the Lord. Can I come down here?

00:16:36.049 --> 00:16:39.070
I'm going to seek the Lord and I'm going to spend

00:16:39.070 --> 00:16:41.389
time with him. I don't know how to pray about

00:16:41.389 --> 00:16:44.710
this. I don't know what to pray. I don't know

00:16:44.710 --> 00:16:47.549
what to pray. So what did you do? I said, I surrender

00:16:47.549 --> 00:16:51.649
all. Sang the songs about that. Hear a little.

00:16:51.750 --> 00:16:54.190
I surrender. And I just walked the floors and

00:16:54.190 --> 00:16:58.929
prayed in tongues. One hour. Two hours. Three

00:16:58.929 --> 00:17:02.610
hours. Four hours. Walk the dog. Five hours.

00:17:02.789 --> 00:17:06.009
Six. Fed the dog. Walk the floors. Next day.

00:17:06.049 --> 00:17:09.049
Fed the dog. The dog went potty. Walk the floors.

00:17:09.170 --> 00:17:11.269
Prayed in tongues. Prayed in tongues. Listen

00:17:11.269 --> 00:17:14.390
to Keith Moore, who is an outstanding speaker

00:17:14.390 --> 00:17:19.190
and minister on faith. Renewed my mind concerning

00:17:19.190 --> 00:17:22.319
faith and what it really means. and just prayed

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.359
in the Holy Ghost. Now, you remember, those of

00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:26.539
you that were here for that Sunday service, the

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:28.980
first night I got there, all hell broke loose.

00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.099
I moved my foot a certain way, and they thought

00:17:32.099 --> 00:17:35.940
I had a fractured foot, two x -rays. It took

00:17:35.940 --> 00:17:38.779
forever to get to a doctor. It was like pain

00:17:38.779 --> 00:17:41.119
beyond pain. My whole foot turned black. And

00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.500
then the next day, my cheeks swelled up because

00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:46.700
I had a gland that was clogged by some kind of

00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:53.480
crystal, so I looked like a chipmunk. So I was

00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:55.859
like, you know, I never get attacked physically.

00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.619
That's not my vibe. You've got to know yourself.

00:18:01.900 --> 00:18:09.519
My crack in my armor or my tendency is to be

00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:13.799
attacked emotionally. It kind of goes along with

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:17.920
my temperament. My temperament is I'm an introvert.

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:22.559
I'm prophetic. I'm sensitive. I have a lot of

00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.680
empathy. You know, God has to help us along these

00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.460
lines when we're like that to keep us strong.

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:32.940
You can still be soft and be strong. So then

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:36.440
I started to get attacked. It was the craziest

00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:39.400
thing. With the craziest warfare you would have

00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:42.539
ever heard in your life. Because any time there's

00:18:42.539 --> 00:18:46.019
a new level, there's a new devil. So the door

00:18:46.019 --> 00:18:48.619
is set before you. God said, I'm setting before

00:18:48.619 --> 00:18:52.339
you an open door. But there's many adversaries.

00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:55.960
And there's war at the gates. And you're entering

00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:58.619
in. I didn't know what I was entering into. Are

00:18:58.619 --> 00:19:01.940
you listening? Some of you don't even know what

00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:04.750
is going on. But your heart. knows things your

00:19:04.750 --> 00:19:08.509
head doesn't know. And God certainly knows the

00:19:08.509 --> 00:19:10.990
plans he has for you. There are plans to bring

00:19:10.990 --> 00:19:14.690
you into that new door and plans to prosper you

00:19:14.690 --> 00:19:17.650
and not harm you, to bring you into the fullness

00:19:17.650 --> 00:19:20.269
of the plan and purpose and destiny he has for

00:19:20.269 --> 00:19:23.069
your life. But we don't always get it because

00:19:23.069 --> 00:19:28.529
we're walking by faith and not by sight. So I'm

00:19:28.529 --> 00:19:33.559
sitting there. in tow dog sitting next to me

00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:38.140
and the warfare and the thoughts and the stuff

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:42.099
that was coming in my mind I literally couldn't

00:19:42.099 --> 00:19:45.259
believe it I'm gonna explain something to you

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:49.980
there's war over your purpose there's war over

00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:54.029
your destiny there's war over what God is calling

00:19:54.029 --> 00:19:56.910
you, and the more the gift starts rising, the

00:19:56.910 --> 00:20:00.329
enemy sees the angelic activity. He sees something

00:20:00.329 --> 00:20:04.069
inside of you rising and shining. There's an

00:20:04.069 --> 00:20:07.029
anointing, and you don't feel it. You don't perceive

00:20:07.029 --> 00:20:10.829
it. Do you not perceive it that I am doing a

00:20:10.829 --> 00:20:16.720
new thing? perceive it. Sometimes we're just

00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:20.839
so blinded by our own emotion or our own circumstances.

00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.200
We don't see it, but the devil sees it, and he

00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:27.819
is afraid of you reaching your full potential.

00:20:29.299 --> 00:20:32.759
Now, this they begin to do, reach their full

00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:35.500
potential. Nothing will be impossible for them,

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:38.500
which they've imagined to do. So, I mean, the

00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:41.880
warfare was like... I have never experienced,

00:20:42.140 --> 00:20:44.880
and I can't even tell you what it was. It was

00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.920
like, I just can't even explain it. It was new

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:52.880
warfare. New level, new devil. New season, new

00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.960
stuff, new level, new devil, new weird kind of

00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:59.279
warfare that I've never experienced before. Well,

00:20:59.299 --> 00:21:00.660
what are you going to do with it? You're going

00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:02.759
to cast it down. You're going to take authority.

00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:04.940
You're going to say no. You're going to go into

00:21:04.940 --> 00:21:06.660
good teaching. You're going to listen to people

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:10.180
like John Antonucci and Pam Antonucci. You're

00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:11.720
going to go listen to somebody like Keith Moore

00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.720
who talks about faith. We walk by faith. Where

00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:17.920
has the message of faith gone? Sometimes in some

00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.279
of our churches, we have a watered -down gospel,

00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:25.259
and that's why many are weak amongst us and are

00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:28.799
hurting amongst us because we've watered down.

00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:31.220
All those faith people, they're just full of

00:21:31.220 --> 00:21:35.079
pride. No, they're confident in what God has

00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:38.079
done through the death, burial, and resurrection

00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:42.579
of Jesus Christ. It's not about us. It's not

00:21:42.579 --> 00:21:46.059
about us. We should boast. It's about him. But

00:21:46.059 --> 00:21:48.299
we have to exercise our faith. We have to walk

00:21:48.299 --> 00:21:50.779
by faith and not by sight. So the warfare came.

00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:54.400
So what did you do? I'm not stupid. I know the

00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.619
power of prayer. I called my friend Maria. And

00:21:57.619 --> 00:22:01.579
I had to confess my fault to her. And I said,

00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:04.319
not even that it was my fault. Warfare is not

00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:07.359
even your fault. But you got to humble yourself.

00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:11.420
Under the mighty hand of God. I'm humbling myself

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:15.660
under the mighty hand of God in my living room

00:22:15.660 --> 00:22:19.640
with my dog doing the licky, licky on my toes

00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:24.059
and on my face. I'm humbling myself. All right,

00:22:24.059 --> 00:22:27.640
Lord, I'm humbling. I took authority. I did everything.

00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:29.740
But, you know, I have to humble myself in front

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:42.000
of my friends and say, I need help. And all of

00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:44.279
a sudden, they didn't, I didn't talk long. All

00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:47.099
of a sudden, boom, her and her husband started

00:22:47.099 --> 00:22:49.119
praying in the Holy Ghost, took authority over

00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.339
the devil. They went on and on and on. That's

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:55.299
what you want. Somebody, when you call them,

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:58.339
they not only answer their phone, but they pray.

00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:03.299
When they pray, they go on and on and on and

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:06.039
on and on. And by the time that phone call was

00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.720
done, and this was five days in, I was fine.

00:23:10.829 --> 00:23:14.690
I had a little boot on my foot. So what, devil?

00:23:14.809 --> 00:23:19.450
You're not stopping me. Boot and all. I just

00:23:19.450 --> 00:23:22.009
had to find some baggy jeans that would fit around

00:23:22.009 --> 00:23:31.630
the boot. Got it? So out of this six weeks with

00:23:31.630 --> 00:23:37.130
God came a new anointing. Came another authority.

00:23:38.150 --> 00:23:42.769
Came fresh vision. And the Lord said to me, he

00:23:42.769 --> 00:23:48.430
said, you got to let go of this, that, and the

00:23:48.430 --> 00:23:51.750
other thing. And some good things that you're

00:23:51.750 --> 00:23:57.769
doing, let it go. And some people that are in

00:23:57.769 --> 00:24:02.809
your life, they want to use you as a platform,

00:24:02.930 --> 00:24:13.009
stand on you, and get accolades from man. I didn't

00:24:13.009 --> 00:24:14.950
say it. The Holy Ghost said it. I'm just Margie,

00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:17.650
the little girl that sat in the back of my yard

00:24:17.650 --> 00:24:21.329
wanting to see God's face. But you've got to

00:24:21.329 --> 00:24:24.430
mark those that cause division among you and

00:24:24.430 --> 00:24:28.089
understand your relationships. And some relationships

00:24:28.089 --> 00:24:34.250
you've got to let go. Because they're stealing

00:24:34.250 --> 00:24:37.029
your joy and they're stealing your purpose and

00:24:37.029 --> 00:24:39.470
they're stealing your destiny. You know, it's

00:24:39.470 --> 00:24:41.849
like Janet was saying, you know, they're, I don't

00:24:41.849 --> 00:24:44.230
know, I just feel like they're just like those

00:24:44.230 --> 00:24:54.410
weights and they're pulling you down. So I did

00:24:54.410 --> 00:25:02.200
it. Got through it. But you know what? I'm going

00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:04.380
to read this. This is just coming out different.

00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:17.400
Ecclesiastes 3. I think I gave it to Bruce. I

00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:22.859
know people don't have Bibles nowadays. But I

00:25:22.859 --> 00:25:26.359
want you to listen to your spirit. Listen to

00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.589
your heart. To everything. I'm going to read

00:25:30.589 --> 00:25:34.109
the whole thing. Can we handle that? Oh, you're

00:25:34.109 --> 00:25:36.809
going to read a bunch of scripture in church.

00:25:37.809 --> 00:25:41.730
I'm only used to one or two scriptures and five

00:25:41.730 --> 00:25:52.009
or ten stories. To everything, everyone say everything.

00:25:53.569 --> 00:25:57.069
There is a season. You don't have to say that.

00:25:57.450 --> 00:26:00.470
Just to everything. Because I want you to listen.

00:26:01.309 --> 00:26:04.650
I want you to listen to your heart. To everything,

00:26:04.809 --> 00:26:12.150
there is a season. A time for every purpose under

00:26:12.150 --> 00:26:19.890
heaven. A time to be born. It was my will. God

00:26:19.890 --> 00:26:24.170
says it was my will that you were born. The day

00:26:24.170 --> 00:26:30.140
and the hour and the year. that you were born.

00:26:33.099 --> 00:26:37.559
Time to be born. I called you and I ordained

00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.259
you to live in this time. As a matter of fact,

00:26:41.259 --> 00:26:44.700
the Bible says, I have ordained the places in

00:26:44.700 --> 00:26:49.380
which you are to live. Well, how do you know?

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:51.440
How do I know that I'm supposed to live there?

00:26:51.619 --> 00:26:56.180
You feel a peace there. You feel a joy there.

00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:02.019
It feels right on the inside of you. It doesn't

00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:04.259
mean you're not going to have warfare and turmoil

00:27:04.259 --> 00:27:06.700
and things. See, as a matter of fact, I just

00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:08.539
laugh at the devil at this point because you

00:27:08.539 --> 00:27:11.240
know what, devil? You just proved to me I'm called

00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:19.480
to be here. Ha, ha, ha. Time to be born. A time

00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:27.180
to die. A time to plant. A time. To pluck up

00:27:27.180 --> 00:27:34.339
what is planted. A time to kill. Well, I don't

00:27:34.339 --> 00:27:37.400
understand that one, but. And a time to heal.

00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:45.420
It's time to heal, my friends. A time to break

00:27:45.420 --> 00:27:51.259
down. And a time to build up. It's okay to break

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:55.019
down, but don't stay there. You got to get up.

00:27:56.150 --> 00:27:59.390
He strengthens the feeble knees. He makes straight

00:27:59.390 --> 00:28:03.390
paths for your feet. Thank you so much for tuning
