1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,440
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:12,240
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray so that he can answer it.
3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,080
It goes into the hearts of the people, doesn't return void, it produces results.
4
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:22,440
So how do these prayer alerts or prayer burdens come?
5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,440
Let's break it down.
6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,440
Okay?
7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,560
They come in a variety of ways.
8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:32,960
Number one, these prayer alerts can come in a knowing.
9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,800
Okay?
10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,160
A knowing.
11
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:41,320
You just know that you know that you know that you know on the inside something is not
12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,320
right.
13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,240
The primary way God speaks to us is through an inner knowing.
14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,240
You just know.
15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,800
For example, the Bible says, we know that we are the children of God.
16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:54,800
Okay?
17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,480
So nobody has to prophesy to you that you are a child of God or you are born again.
18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,360
It's just a knowing on the inside.
19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,760
You just know that you know that you know that you know that you know you are a child
20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,760
of God.
21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,440
It's just a knowing.
22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,120
It's an inner intuition.
23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,460
It's just a knowing.
24
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:16,280
It's an inner intuition that something is just not right.
25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,480
We just know in our hearts something isn't right with one of our children.
26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,160
Now listen, stay with me because this is important.
27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:31,120
It is not rooted in fear, but it is a constant inner steady knowing.
28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:37,920
Now I've had that going on with one of my kids the last couple of weeks and I just need
29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,680
to really take that particular child into prayer and make her my tangible prayer focus.
30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,680
Okay?
31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,120
And just pray it out and pray it through the victory.
32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,920
And again, it's not always just praying.
33
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,040
I gave you two books that I thought were really good for you to read.
34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:03,000
It's the five love languages of children and then the other book is How to Really Love
35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,360
Your Child by Gary Chapman.
36
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,360
Okay?
37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,480
So, you know, if you have a good relationship with your child you can also speak into their
38
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,160
lives, but if you don't you can pray because prayer opens up the door for God to work.
39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,360
So it's a knowing.
40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,720
You just know on the inside.
41
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,480
Something's not right.
42
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,340
You don't have a velvety feeling.
43
00:02:21,340 --> 00:02:28,360
You don't have like a clear, ugh, flow from, in your spirit.
44
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,440
You just have a ugh, something's not right.
45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Okay?
46
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Number two.
47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,440
Okay?
48
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,880
An inner witness.
49
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:43,320
Now an inner witness is similar to a knowing in our hearts, but the inner witness is more
50
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,720
like a sudden alert on the inside.
51
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,200
That's what I had when I walked through my foyer and I looked at Jacqueline's picture.
52
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,800
I had an inward witness.
53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,800
Boom!
54
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,800
It was a boom!
55
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,680
A pop on the inside.
56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,200
Something is not right.
57
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,200
Okay?
58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:06,000
And remember, I didn't know the whole thing, you know, but I knew enough to know that the
59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Holy Spirit wants to protect our children, wants to protect our kids, and He was giving
60
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,640
me a pop and an inward witness that something wasn't right.
61
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:17,640
Number three.
62
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,160
A word of knowledge.
63
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,160
A word of knowledge.
64
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,800
Prophetically praying parents.
65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,560
Who says that all the gifts of the Spirit only operate in corporate church settings?
66
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,240
Now, listen to me.
67
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:37,360
These gifts of the Spirit spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12, 7 through 10, can operate in your prayer
68
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,740
closet.
69
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:42,920
They can operate as a watchman in your own house.
70
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,080
They can operate as a mother, as a father, as an aunt, as a grandmother, as an aunt and
71
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,080
an uncle.
72
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,080
They can operate.
73
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,440
You don't have to be a five-fold ministry gift or someone with a collar or a leader
74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,040
in the church to have these gifts manifest.
75
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:05,200
Listen, my friends, as praying parents, the Bible says we can covet these spiritual gifts.
76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:13,060
That word, covet, in the Greek means to crave, to desire, to long for.
77
00:04:13,060 --> 00:04:15,320
We can crave and desire and long.
78
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,080
Holy Spirit, you need to help me with my children.
79
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,520
Help me to know what's going on.
80
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,720
Help me and show me how to pray for them.
81
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,720
Help me, Holy Spirit.
82
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,720
Alert me.
83
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,720
Guide me.
84
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,720
Lead me.
85
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,720
Show me things to come.
86
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,720
So a word of knowledge.
87
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,720
Okay?
88
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,720
What is a word of knowledge?
89
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,920
A word of knowledge is what I had for Jacqueline in the prayer, in the, in the foyer.
90
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,920
Oh yeah, in the foyer.
91
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,920
I got a word of knowledge in the foyer.
92
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,640
You can have a word of knowledge driving in your car, sitting at the kitchen table while
93
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,040
you pet your dog, while you're walking your dog.
94
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:51,480
You can have a word of knowledge, but it's being in tune to the inside of you and not
95
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,760
being distracted by earthly things all the time.
96
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,200
The enemy wants to have us distracted.
97
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:05,400
He wants us to be so busy and so outwardly focused that we're not God inside minded.
98
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,040
I like to say it like this.
99
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,840
Oh, living from the inside out instead of the outside in.
100
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:13,840
Okay?
101
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:15,760
So what is a word of knowledge?
102
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:21,840
A word of knowledge is one of the revelation gifts mentioned in the Bible.
103
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,680
And it's also mentioned with a word of wisdom and discerning of spirits.
104
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:34,720
These gifts manifest as the spirit wills, but as praying parents, we should and need
105
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,040
to covet them.
106
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,840
Are you listening?
107
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:46,440
We should and we need to covet them.
108
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,680
Revelation gifts reveal something to us.
109
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Thank God for the Holy Ghost.
110
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,220
It can be anything, this is the word of knowledge now.
111
00:05:55,220 --> 00:06:02,480
It can be anything within the realm of knowledge, facts, events.
112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:09,480
In the case of the word of knowledge, it has something to do with the present or the past.
113
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:17,600
Purpose, origin, destiny, the information can be human or divine or satanic.
114
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,480
It can be natural or supernatural.
115
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,720
When we receive a word of knowledge, what does that mean?
116
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:30,480
It means when you receive that word of knowledge about something past or present, God can show
117
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,160
you anything in the realm of the spirit.
118
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,160
Okay?
119
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,240
Human, divine, or if it's a devil or a demon.
120
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,240
Okay?
121
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,400
We can receive a word of knowledge.
122
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,920
We receive information about something in the past or present that we do not have any
123
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,800
way of knowing in the natural.
124
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,000
It is a supernatural revelation by the spirit.
125
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:02,720
He gives us information from the mind of God about a person, a place, or a thing.
126
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,840
In this case, for our children.
127
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:06,840
A word of knowledge.
128
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,320
I'm going to pray for you right now.
129
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:15,080
Father, I pray in the name of Jesus for every person who is live on this call or every person
130
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:21,200
who's going to listen to the replay or listen to the podcast or listen to the YouTube teaching.
131
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:29,640
I pray, Father God, that there would be an increase as parents, as Godparents, as grandparents,
132
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,320
as in anyone in their spirit of influence.
133
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:39,600
I pray that there would be an increase of the manifestation of the word of knowledge
134
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:46,200
that you would reveal to them past or present things that need to be prayed out or prayed
135
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:53,960
through so that they could be more effective in reaching their children and helping them
136
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,200
to fulfill their destiny.
137
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,160
In Jesus' name.
138
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,160
Thank you, Lord.
139
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,160
Now just receive that.
140
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,160
Okay?
141
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,160
Number four.
142
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,600
Another way that these alerts come is a word of knowledge or a word of wisdom.
143
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:18,840
The word of wisdom is similar to a word of knowledge except that it pertains to the future.
144
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:25,840
It is a supernatural revelation by the Spirit of God concerning the plan and purpose in
145
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,640
the mind of God.
146
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Okay?
147
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:35,120
So as praying parents, God can give you a word of wisdom concerning your children.
148
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,440
And when it comes to the word of wisdom, especially if it has something to do with you know by
149
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:46,160
the Spirit of God that your child has a five-fold call in their life, you don't tell them.
150
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,360
You let them discover that for themselves because it may push them away and make them
151
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,280
afraid and make them feel like, well, God is making me do something I don't want to
152
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:02,320
do instead of the Holy Spirit working in them both to will and to do of His good pleasure
153
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:08,640
and in the process of time their gift rises up and becomes a desire that they want to
154
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,680
do and they eventually want to walk in.
155
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:17,320
So we don't want to get too involved with our kids if we've received a word of wisdom
156
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,520
about something in their future.
157
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,520
Okay?
158
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:27,480
Now I feel, this is how I feel about it, I feel if you have a word of wisdom about one
159
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:33,600
of your children, what you can do is you can pray into their destiny, Ecclesiastes 3 I
160
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,480
believe verse 11.
161
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:41,640
Destiny is already written in their heart so you can pray into their destiny and that's
162
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,640
what I do.
163
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,640
Well how do you do it?
164
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,120
You do it by praying in the Holy Ghost.
165
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,200
Okay?
166
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,360
I did a lot of praying in the Holy Ghost for my kids and their future mates.
167
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,640
Now that wasn't a word of wisdom, that was in my head going, I'm going to start praying
168
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,940
when they're babies for their future mate so that when the time comes they'll come across
169
00:10:01,940 --> 00:10:07,580
each other's path because prayer opens up the door for God to work, makes the crooked
170
00:10:07,580 --> 00:10:12,480
way straight, the rough places plain, causes things to come into alignment, so on and so
171
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:13,760
forth.
172
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:20,080
So that's not a word of wisdom but you can pray into their destiny in that regard.
173
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,240
Okay?
174
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,640
Then there's the discerning of spirits.
175
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,880
To discern means to see.
176
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,560
Discerning of spirits gives us insight into the spirit realm.
177
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:39,200
As praying parents, this gift helps us to know if evil spirits are trying to influence
178
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:48,880
our children versus something arising from their souls because there's a difference.
179
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:55,320
There's a difference between issues in their souls that's manifesting in their behavior
180
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:04,000
and a just plain out flat demon, devil, evil spirit that's trying to influence them and
181
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:11,160
wanting to drive them, because devils always drive, into a certain direction.
182
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,460
Sometimes it's not spirits, my friends, sometimes it's their souls.
183
00:11:15,460 --> 00:11:18,040
Sometimes it's a chemical imbalance.
184
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,400
Sometimes they need to stop eating red dye.
185
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,000
Are you listening?
186
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,320
My son could not eat anything with red dye.
187
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:30,520
When he was a toddler or growing up, he would get so hyper and I'd go, what Lord, help me,
188
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,800
Jesus, what's going on, la la la la la.
189
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,960
And then one day I read something about red dye and how it makes kids hyper and how bad
190
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,440
it is for kids.
191
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,120
So sometimes it's just something in the natural.
192
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,760
That's why we need wisdom.
193
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,560
Many men lack wisdom, let them ask of God.
194
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:51,400
And so, or it could be a chemical imbalance in their soul or in their brain.
195
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:57,120
Dr. Eamon talks a lot about the brain and how important it is for our children and adults
196
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:03,440
to eat healthy and have omega-3s and have the right minerals and vitamins.
197
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:11,000
So discerning of spirits will give us insights into the realm of the spirit.
198
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,200
This gift also gives us insight into the thoughts and the intents of the heart as well as the
199
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,200
motives.
200
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,800
It is the strangest thing.
201
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,720
And I was thinking about it tonight when I was preparing.
202
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,920
You know how Jesus knew their thoughts?
203
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:32,400
It's interesting because one of my children walked into my house and had come home from
204
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,760
college and I kept picking up.
205
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,400
I'm not going to tell you what it was.
206
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:45,000
I kept picking up the thoughts and the intents and it ended up being not something that happened
207
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,120
to my child but something that happened to one of my children's best friends and it was
208
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,520
on her and in her and she was thinking about it and she was very upset about it.
209
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:02,640
And when those thoughts were coming to me, I thought that maybe it happened to her.
210
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:10,280
And so that in essence, and it came out later what it was, that in essence was the discerning
211
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,600
of spirits in operation.
212
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,480
I was discerning the thoughts.
213
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,280
It's the strangest thing.
214
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,520
It's not the gift of suspicion.
215
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:24,720
It's discerning the thoughts, the intents of the heart or seeing into the realm of the
216
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,200
spirit and seeing demons and devils and evil spirits.
217
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,120
Okay, so that's discerning of spirits.
218
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:37,080
This gift is helpful to parents in many ways.
219
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,880
And it can even help us to discern whether our kids' friends are good for them.
220
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,080
Okay, now just a little side note here.
221
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:51,080
Listen, if you know that there's somebody in your child's life that definitely is not
222
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,880
good for them and they have the fruit of all the bad things that are not good for them,
223
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,460
you can pray that friend out.
224
00:13:59,460 --> 00:14:00,460
This is how I pray.
225
00:14:00,460 --> 00:14:02,000
It's not a witchcraft prayer.
226
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,160
I just say, Father, anything in my child's life, any person, any relationship, I don't
227
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:14,600
mention any names, I don't get into all that, but Lord, any person, any friendship, any
228
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:22,000
relationship that is not planted by you, I pray that it would be uprooted in the name
229
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,000
of Jesus.
230
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,800
And then I pray in the Holy Ghost.
231
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,800
Okay?
232
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,120
Okay, here's another one.
233
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,920
I love, I get, this is how it happens with me a lot.
234
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,840
The reason it happens with me a lot, it's a scripture, is where you get a scripture
235
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,400
for your child.
236
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,440
The reason it happens for me a lot is because I listen to a lot of scripture.
237
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Scripture on tape, scripture, Bible scriptures, just straight scripture, not necessarily always
238
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,080
a teaching, just scripture after scripture after scripture.
239
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,240
A scripture.
240
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,040
The Holy Spirit can communicate a prayer burden.
241
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,160
I'm not quitting until I'm done, so I just want you to know.
242
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:01,800
The Holy Spirit can communicate a prayer burden to us through a passage of scripture.
243
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,800
God's Word is living and active.
244
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:12,000
And the Spirit can use the Word of God to speak directly into the lives of a particular
245
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
situation.
246
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,080
Now, I, I, I, actually I'll give you an example.
247
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:23,680
I experienced this one night when I laid hands on, again, Danielle in this case, I laid my
248
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:31,840
hands on Danielle and when I laid my hands on her, a scripture came bubbling up.
249
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,480
What is prophecy?
250
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,800
Prophecy is a bubbling up.
251
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,400
Well, it was bubbling up.
252
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,400
What is it?
253
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,560
I'm prophetically getting insight as a parent about something with my child.
254
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:49,240
It bubbled up and a scripture came to me and came into my mind where Jesus said, you know,
255
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:55,120
don't be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have anxieties of its own.
256
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,560
Consider the birds of the air.
257
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,400
They don't think about what they're going to eat or what they're going to drink.
258
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,160
You know, the flowers of the field, you know, they don't toil and they don't, you know,
259
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,040
try to make themselves beautiful, but your heavenly Father feeds the birds and your heavenly
260
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,760
Father makes the fields beautiful.
261
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,520
That, that scripture.
262
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:19,400
So I opened up my eyes and because I had a scripture, I knew what her, her, her need
263
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,400
was.
264
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,800
I already had the answer.
265
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,280
The Lord gave the answer, but it pinpointed her need.
266
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,480
Do you understand what I'm saying?
267
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,720
So I stopped and I looked at her, stopped praying.
268
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,160
I looked at her and I said, Danielle, I said, do you worry?
269
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,800
Now at the time she was just a little kid.
270
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,800
She was little.
271
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,240
She wasn't like a teenager.
272
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,960
And I said, do you worry?
273
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:49,880
Because my child, Danielle, has always been a little more ahead emotionally and in maturity.
274
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,720
I said, do you, you know, which caused her to think more.
275
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,160
She was also a thinker, you know, very, very bright girl.
276
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,480
I said, do you worry a lot?
277
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,920
And she said, well, what do you mean?
278
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,320
I go, do you worry, honey?
279
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,280
Do you worry a lot?
280
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,760
And she went, and I said, do you know?
281
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:15,920
And I read her the scripture and I prayed with her and I told her that God cared about
282
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:23,040
her because that scripture does say if God so cares for the birds and for the beautifying
283
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,960
the fields, how much more does he care for you?
284
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,880
And so it gave her light and a revelation that God loved her, cared for her, and didn't
285
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,200
want her to worry.
286
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,640
Not only that, but prophetically, I received that word from the Lord.
287
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,280
And that's very helpful.
288
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Okay?
289
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,440
Because God wants to lead and guide our children on the best path for their lives.
290
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,520
But he needs us to get involved.
291
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,020
He needs us to pray.
292
00:17:48,020 --> 00:17:49,780
He needs us to speak to them.
293
00:17:49,780 --> 00:17:54,920
He needs us to do whatever we can as they allow us to.
294
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:55,920
Okay?
295
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:02,800
Okay, another way, number seven is a vision or a dream.
296
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,360
Sometimes we receive prayer alerts through dreams or visions.
297
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:13,560
You know, that scripture, I can't quote it directly where the Bible says in Job 33 where
298
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,440
when we're quiet, when we're sleeping, our minds aren't active, when slumber comes upon
299
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,720
us, God will give us a vision or a dream in the night.
300
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Okay?
301
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:23,720
I've had many, many dreams.
302
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,440
I'm not going to get into all the examples because I want to close in about the next
303
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,440
ten minutes.
304
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:34,000
But I'm going to give you something that happened, again, this came in a vision.
305
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,360
This was a prayer alert.
306
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:41,640
This helped me tremendously to help my daughter, Jacqueline.
307
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,640
Okay?
308
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,600
So, one day I was praying in my upstairs prayer room, now it's a closet, and I was praying
309
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:55,160
and I was interceding and I was praying for the children, praying for my kids, and all
310
00:18:55,160 --> 00:19:04,040
of a sudden I saw on the inside of me, it was a vision on the inside.
311
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,560
Now notice I said on the inside, now I've never had an open vision, there's different
312
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,760
kinds of visions.
313
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,960
I had something on the inside that I saw.
314
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:13,960
Okay?
315
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:22,560
And what I saw on the inside was Jacqueline in her bed and at the time she had a canopy
316
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:32,400
with all these white curtains and above her headboard it said, the princess is sleeping.
317
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:38,520
And in the vision on the inside I saw her in her bed with that whole thing going on,
318
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:45,280
in the natural, that's what her bed looked like, and the Lord said to me, he said to
319
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:52,320
me, and he had an attitude about it, he said, there's another kind of praying going on
320
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,880
in this house, and then he said, she's praying that you won't travel.
321
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,080
And I was like, what?
322
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:09,920
Well first of all, my kids were small, they were home, and I was simply praying, Lord,
323
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:15,800
when the time is right, put me back into the ministry, open up doors that no man can shut
324
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:21,560
because I had stopped all public ministry to raise my children, and so I just was praying
325
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,400
for the future, for what was coming ten years up the road ahead.
326
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,560
But somehow Jacqueline must have heard me praying that God would open up doors, that
327
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:37,480
I would be traveling again, and I would be on the road, and I wouldn't be with her.
328
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:44,120
And so it was just as real to me as this phone sitting next to me.
329
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:48,780
I knew that I knew that I knew, she's praying that I don't travel.
330
00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:53,600
And so I got in my car to go pick them up at the bus stop, which was only half a block
331
00:20:53,600 --> 00:21:00,160
away, yes, that's how I operated back in the day, and I picked them up at the bus stop,
332
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,760
and I just couldn't wait because I just knew that I had something.
333
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:11,200
And I gave them their snacks, and gave them their milk and all that, and I said, Jacqueline,
334
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,120
could we go upstairs and could we talk?
335
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:15,040
I want to talk to you about something.
336
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,440
I took her up in my office, sat her down on the same chair that I received that prayer
337
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,520
alert, that vision, that whatever you want to call it, the N-word vision.
338
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:29,920
And I said to her, Jacqueline, I said, are you praying that Mommy doesn't travel?
339
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,640
And she said, yes, Mommy, oh God.
340
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,280
And she started praying that I wouldn't travel to some state, in some one of the states in
341
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,280
the United States.
342
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:42,120
She goes, I need you, I need you to be here for me, and I just don't want you to go.
343
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:50,440
And I said, honey, I said, Mommy's not going to go anywhere until you're off and I'm released
344
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,360
and you guys are on your own, meaning college, basically.
345
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:59,520
And so I showed her in the Bible where God had literally spoke to me out of Proverbs
346
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:08,000
where he said, Proverbs 31, a woman considers her own household, you know, before, and the
347
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,880
Amplified worded it in a regard where it said something about before she goes into her field.
348
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,240
And then I put in there for me, the ramo word was field, was the field of ministry.
349
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,920
And I showed her where God spoke to me and reassured her that that wasn't going to happen.
350
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,600
Well, what is that?
351
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,320
That came as an inward revelation, like a vision.
352
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:35,600
It wasn't necessarily a prayer alert, but it was something to help me to ease the anxiety
353
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,000
and get her to understand that she was safe.
354
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,200
I think our children today, especially today, need to know that they're safe.
355
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,200
Okay?
356
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,960
Number eight, and we have this one and one more and then we'll close.
357
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,200
A heaviness in the spirit.
358
00:22:52,200 --> 00:23:00,400
At times, God clues us into a prayer need through a heaviness in our spirits or a feeling
359
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,840
of being grieved in our spirit.
360
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,440
Like when you think about that child, how do you feel on the inside?
361
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,640
It's a spiritual thing.
362
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,140
Being grieved in our spirit.
363
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:15,320
It can be slight or it can be heavy.
364
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,200
Here's how I would describe it.
365
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,800
It's like a pain on the inside, but not a pain anywhere in your body.
366
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,160
It's a pain in your spirit.
367
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,840
It's not in the physical realm.
368
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:33,840
It comes from our spirits by the Holy Spirit, but it can be felt in our souls and at times
369
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,920
manifest in our bodies, meaning, ooh, I'm so grieved in my spirit.
370
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,600
And you just feel it on the inside and you're kind of like clenched, you know, in a sense
371
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,920
like bowed down because of it.
372
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,040
Okay?
373
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:54,160
When we think about certain people, something on the inside is grieved or pained.
374
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,920
This is a sign that it's time for us to pray for that child.
375
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:03,080
Lastly, a strong love.
376
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,760
Okay?
377
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,560
Prayer should always be born out of a heart of love no matter what.
378
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:15,000
But if you think about a particular child and you have like a strong love for them,
379
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,960
yes, we have a natural love for our children.
380
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,960
I get it.
381
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:26,600
But if you just randomly, suddenly get a strong love for one particular child, then that's
382
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,140
a prayer assignment.
383
00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:29,240
That's a prayer alert.
384
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,880
You're being alerted.
385
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,480
You're being alerted.
386
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:39,840
We can receive a prayer alert when a stronger than usual love rises up from within our hearts
387
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,120
for a particular child.
388
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:47,040
We know Romans 5, 5, the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost.
389
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,200
But this is a love prayer alert.
390
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:58,620
This love transcends our human love and is a manifestation of God's love for that child.
391
00:24:58,620 --> 00:25:05,920
This agape love will especially manifest when there is a need for a deeper level of prayer
392
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:12,520
like travail, which we're not going to cover in this teaching.
393
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,520
Okay?
394
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:19,400
Well, again, I want to remind you if you could please share this teaching on your wall.
395
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,400
Share it with your friends.
396
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,960
This is a much needed message today.
397
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:28,180
I also want to remind you to connect with other parents or the grandparents.
398
00:25:28,180 --> 00:25:29,180
Have prayer calls.
399
00:25:29,180 --> 00:25:31,760
A 15-minute call.
400
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,200
Have a prayer meeting.
401
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,160
Do a Zoom call.
402
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,320
Prayer opens up the door for God to work.
403
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,320
Okay?
404
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,320
Let me pray for you.
405
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,320
Thank you, Lord.
406
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:49,520
Father, what a beautiful time we had tonight.
407
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,760
Beautiful time.
408
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:53,760
Beautiful time.
409
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,080
The Holy Spirit help us.
410
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,240
Lord, teach us to pray.
411
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,360
Continue to teach us to pray.
412
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:03,360
Even as your disciples ask you, Lord, we ask the same.
413
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:05,360
Teach us to pray.
414
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:07,720
Help us to understand the art of intercession.
415
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,660
Father, we pray for these children.
416
00:26:10,660 --> 00:26:16,080
We pray for the generations from the babies that are born now all the way up to the millennials.
417
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,480
We pray, Father, that they would run and not grow weary.
418
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:25,240
We pray that they would walk and not faint, that their steps would be ordered and established
419
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:33,200
by you, that you would lead them, guide them into all truth, that you would turn this
420
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:38,840
generation into the generation that would turn the world upside down.
421
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:39,920
And we praise you, Lord.
422
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,560
We thank you today for everything that you've done.
423
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,860
And we pray, Lord God, that there would be a revival of praying for our families, that
424
00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:53,080
mothers, fathers, grandmothers, all these aunts and uncles and godparents would receive
425
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:58,960
this call to action and that we would be doers of the word and not hearers only.
426
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,920
In Jesus' name, amen.
427
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:07,240
Praise you, Lord, we bless you and honor you and we glorify your holy name.
428
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,640
Praise you, Lord.
429
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,640
Praise you, Jesus.
430
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,040
We worship you.
431
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,480
I don't know why I'm hearing this.
432
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,720
I keep hearing in my spirit, Lord, teach us to pray.
433
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:25,040
Lord, I pray that there would be a greater revelation and understanding about the prayer
434
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,760
closet, about prayer alerts, prayer burdens.
435
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,840
Help us, Holy Spirit.
436
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:32,840
We love you.
437
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:41,320
We covet that you would guide us in our prayer closet supernaturally in Jesus' name.
438
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,040
Thank you so much for tuning in to today's podcast.
439
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,240
It has been such a joy sharing this time with you.
440
00:27:46,240 --> 00:28:02,840
For more inspiration and resources on today's topic, please visit our website at margiefloran.org.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,440
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:12,240
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray so that he can answer it.
3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,080
It goes into the hearts of the people, doesn't return void, it produces results.
4
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:22,440
So how do these prayer alerts or prayer burdens come?
5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,440
Let's break it down.
6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,440
Okay?
7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,560
They come in a variety of ways.
8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:32,960
Number one, these prayer alerts can come in a knowing.
9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,800
Okay?
10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,160
A knowing.
11
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:41,320
You just know that you know that you know that you know on the inside something is not
12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,320
right.
13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,240
The primary way God speaks to us is through an inner knowing.
14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,240
You just know.
15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,800
For example, the Bible says, we know that we are the children of God.
16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:54,800
Okay?
17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,480
So nobody has to prophesy to you that you are a child of God or you are born again.
18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,360
It's just a knowing on the inside.
19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,760
You just know that you know that you know that you know that you know you are a child
20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,760
of God.
21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,440
It's just a knowing.
22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,120
It's an inner intuition.
23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,460
It's just a knowing.
24
00:01:11,460 --> 00:01:16,280
It's an inner intuition that something is just not right.
25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,480
We just know in our hearts something isn't right with one of our children.
26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,160
Now listen, stay with me because this is important.
27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:31,120
It is not rooted in fear, but it is a constant inner steady knowing.
28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:37,920
Now I've had that going on with one of my kids the last couple of weeks and I just need
29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,680
to really take that particular child into prayer and make her my tangible prayer focus.
30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,680
Okay?
31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,120
And just pray it out and pray it through the victory.
32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,920
And again, it's not always just praying.
33
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,040
I gave you two books that I thought were really good for you to read.
34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:03,000
It's the five love languages of children and then the other book is How to Really Love
35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,360
Your Child by Gary Chapman.
36
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,360
Okay?
37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,480
So, you know, if you have a good relationship with your child you can also speak into their
38
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,160
lives, but if you don't you can pray because prayer opens up the door for God to work.
39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,360
So it's a knowing.
40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,720
You just know on the inside.
41
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,480
Something's not right.
42
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,340
You don't have a velvety feeling.
43
00:02:21,340 --> 00:02:28,360
You don't have like a clear, ugh, flow from, in your spirit.
44
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,440
You just have a ugh, something's not right.
45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Okay?
46
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Number two.
47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,440
Okay?
48
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,880
An inner witness.
49
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:43,320
Now an inner witness is similar to a knowing in our hearts, but the inner witness is more
50
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,720
like a sudden alert on the inside.
51
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,200
That's what I had when I walked through my foyer and I looked at Jacqueline's picture.
52
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,800
I had an inward witness.
53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,800
Boom!
54
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,800
It was a boom!
55
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,680
A pop on the inside.
56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,200
Something is not right.
57
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,200
Okay?
58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:06,000
And remember, I didn't know the whole thing, you know, but I knew enough to know that the
59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Holy Spirit wants to protect our children, wants to protect our kids, and He was giving
60
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,640
me a pop and an inward witness that something wasn't right.
61
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:17,640
Number three.
62
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,160
A word of knowledge.
63
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,160
A word of knowledge.
64
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,800
Prophetically praying parents.
65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,560
Who says that all the gifts of the Spirit only operate in corporate church settings?
66
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,240
Now, listen to me.
67
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:37,360
These gifts of the Spirit spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12, 7 through 10, can operate in your prayer
68
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,740
closet.
69
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:42,920
They can operate as a watchman in your own house.
70
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,080
They can operate as a mother, as a father, as an aunt, as a grandmother, as an aunt and
71
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,080
an uncle.
72
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,080
They can operate.
73
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,440
You don't have to be a five-fold ministry gift or someone with a collar or a leader
74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,040
in the church to have these gifts manifest.
75
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:05,200
Listen, my friends, as praying parents, the Bible says we can covet these spiritual gifts.
76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:13,060
That word, covet, in the Greek means to crave, to desire, to long for.
77
00:04:13,060 --> 00:04:15,320
We can crave and desire and long.
78
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,080
Holy Spirit, you need to help me with my children.
79
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,520
Help me to know what's going on.
80
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,720
Help me and show me how to pray for them.
81
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,720
Help me, Holy Spirit.
82
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,720
Alert me.
83
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,720
Guide me.
84
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,720
Lead me.
85
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,720
Show me things to come.
86
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,720
So a word of knowledge.
87
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,720
Okay?
88
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,720
What is a word of knowledge?
89
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,920
A word of knowledge is what I had for Jacqueline in the prayer, in the, in the foyer.
90
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,920
Oh yeah, in the foyer.
91
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,920
I got a word of knowledge in the foyer.
92
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,640
You can have a word of knowledge driving in your car, sitting at the kitchen table while
93
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,040
you pet your dog, while you're walking your dog.
94
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:51,480
You can have a word of knowledge, but it's being in tune to the inside of you and not
95
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,760
being distracted by earthly things all the time.
96
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,200
The enemy wants to have us distracted.
97
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:05,400
He wants us to be so busy and so outwardly focused that we're not God inside minded.
98
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,040
I like to say it like this.
99
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,840
Oh, living from the inside out instead of the outside in.
100
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:13,840
Okay?
101
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:15,760
So what is a word of knowledge?
102
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:21,840
A word of knowledge is one of the revelation gifts mentioned in the Bible.
103
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,680
And it's also mentioned with a word of wisdom and discerning of spirits.
104
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:34,720
These gifts manifest as the spirit wills, but as praying parents, we should and need
105
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,040
to covet them.
106
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,840
Are you listening?
107
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:46,440
We should and we need to covet them.
108
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,680
Revelation gifts reveal something to us.
109
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Thank God for the Holy Ghost.
110
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,220
It can be anything, this is the word of knowledge now.
111
00:05:55,220 --> 00:06:02,480
It can be anything within the realm of knowledge, facts, events.
112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:09,480
In the case of the word of knowledge, it has something to do with the present or the past.
113
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:17,600
Purpose, origin, destiny, the information can be human or divine or satanic.
114
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,480
It can be natural or supernatural.
115
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,720
When we receive a word of knowledge, what does that mean?
116
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:30,480
It means when you receive that word of knowledge about something past or present, God can show
117
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,160
you anything in the realm of the spirit.
118
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,160
Okay?
119
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,240
Human, divine, or if it's a devil or a demon.
120
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,240
Okay?
121
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,400
We can receive a word of knowledge.
122
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,920
We receive information about something in the past or present that we do not have any
123
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,800
way of knowing in the natural.
124
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,000
It is a supernatural revelation by the spirit.
125
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:02,720
He gives us information from the mind of God about a person, a place, or a thing.
126
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,840
In this case, for our children.
127
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:06,840
A word of knowledge.
128
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,320
I'm going to pray for you right now.
129
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:15,080
Father, I pray in the name of Jesus for every person who is live on this call or every person
130
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:21,200
who's going to listen to the replay or listen to the podcast or listen to the YouTube teaching.
131
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:29,640
I pray, Father God, that there would be an increase as parents, as Godparents, as grandparents,
132
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,320
as in anyone in their spirit of influence.
133
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:39,600
I pray that there would be an increase of the manifestation of the word of knowledge
134
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:46,200
that you would reveal to them past or present things that need to be prayed out or prayed
135
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:53,960
through so that they could be more effective in reaching their children and helping them
136
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,200
to fulfill their destiny.
137
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,160
In Jesus' name.
138
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,160
Thank you, Lord.
139
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,160
Now just receive that.
140
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,160
Okay?
141
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,160
Number four.
142
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,600
Another way that these alerts come is a word of knowledge or a word of wisdom.
143
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:18,840
The word of wisdom is similar to a word of knowledge except that it pertains to the future.
144
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:25,840
It is a supernatural revelation by the Spirit of God concerning the plan and purpose in
145
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,640
the mind of God.
146
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Okay?
147
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:35,120
So as praying parents, God can give you a word of wisdom concerning your children.
148
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,440
And when it comes to the word of wisdom, especially if it has something to do with you know by
149
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:46,160
the Spirit of God that your child has a five-fold call in their life, you don't tell them.
150
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,360
You let them discover that for themselves because it may push them away and make them
151
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,280
afraid and make them feel like, well, God is making me do something I don't want to
152
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:02,320
do instead of the Holy Spirit working in them both to will and to do of His good pleasure
153
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:08,640
and in the process of time their gift rises up and becomes a desire that they want to
154
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,680
do and they eventually want to walk in.
155
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:17,320
So we don't want to get too involved with our kids if we've received a word of wisdom
156
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,520
about something in their future.
157
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,520
Okay?
158
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:27,480
Now I feel, this is how I feel about it, I feel if you have a word of wisdom about one
159
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:33,600
of your children, what you can do is you can pray into their destiny, Ecclesiastes 3 I
160
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,480
believe verse 11.
161
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:41,640
Destiny is already written in their heart so you can pray into their destiny and that's
162
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,640
what I do.
163
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:43,640
Well how do you do it?
164
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,120
You do it by praying in the Holy Ghost.
165
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,200
Okay?
166
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,360
I did a lot of praying in the Holy Ghost for my kids and their future mates.
167
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,640
Now that wasn't a word of wisdom, that was in my head going, I'm going to start praying
168
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,940
when they're babies for their future mate so that when the time comes they'll come across
169
00:10:01,940 --> 00:10:07,580
each other's path because prayer opens up the door for God to work, makes the crooked
170
00:10:07,580 --> 00:10:12,480
way straight, the rough places plain, causes things to come into alignment, so on and so
171
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:13,760
forth.
172
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:20,080
So that's not a word of wisdom but you can pray into their destiny in that regard.
173
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,240
Okay?
174
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,640
Then there's the discerning of spirits.
175
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,880
To discern means to see.
176
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,560
Discerning of spirits gives us insight into the spirit realm.
177
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:39,200
As praying parents, this gift helps us to know if evil spirits are trying to influence
178
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:48,880
our children versus something arising from their souls because there's a difference.
179
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:55,320
There's a difference between issues in their souls that's manifesting in their behavior
180
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:04,000
and a just plain out flat demon, devil, evil spirit that's trying to influence them and
181
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:11,160
wanting to drive them, because devils always drive, into a certain direction.
182
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,460
Sometimes it's not spirits, my friends, sometimes it's their souls.
183
00:11:15,460 --> 00:11:18,040
Sometimes it's a chemical imbalance.
184
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,400
Sometimes they need to stop eating red dye.
185
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,000
Are you listening?
186
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,320
My son could not eat anything with red dye.
187
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:30,520
When he was a toddler or growing up, he would get so hyper and I'd go, what Lord, help me,
188
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,800
Jesus, what's going on, la la la la la.
189
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,960
And then one day I read something about red dye and how it makes kids hyper and how bad
190
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,440
it is for kids.
191
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,120
So sometimes it's just something in the natural.
192
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,760
That's why we need wisdom.
193
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,560
Many men lack wisdom, let them ask of God.
194
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:51,400
And so, or it could be a chemical imbalance in their soul or in their brain.
195
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:57,120
Dr. Eamon talks a lot about the brain and how important it is for our children and adults
196
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:03,440
to eat healthy and have omega-3s and have the right minerals and vitamins.
197
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:11,000
So discerning of spirits will give us insights into the realm of the spirit.
198
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,200
This gift also gives us insight into the thoughts and the intents of the heart as well as the
199
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,200
motives.
200
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,800
It is the strangest thing.
201
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,720
And I was thinking about it tonight when I was preparing.
202
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,920
You know how Jesus knew their thoughts?
203
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:32,400
It's interesting because one of my children walked into my house and had come home from
204
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,760
college and I kept picking up.
205
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,400
I'm not going to tell you what it was.
206
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:45,000
I kept picking up the thoughts and the intents and it ended up being not something that happened
207
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,120
to my child but something that happened to one of my children's best friends and it was
208
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,520
on her and in her and she was thinking about it and she was very upset about it.
209
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:02,640
And when those thoughts were coming to me, I thought that maybe it happened to her.
210
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:10,280
And so that in essence, and it came out later what it was, that in essence was the discerning
211
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,600
of spirits in operation.
212
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,480
I was discerning the thoughts.
213
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,280
It's the strangest thing.
214
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,520
It's not the gift of suspicion.
215
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:24,720
It's discerning the thoughts, the intents of the heart or seeing into the realm of the
216
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,200
spirit and seeing demons and devils and evil spirits.
217
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,120
Okay, so that's discerning of spirits.
218
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:37,080
This gift is helpful to parents in many ways.
219
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,880
And it can even help us to discern whether our kids' friends are good for them.
220
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,080
Okay, now just a little side note here.
221
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:51,080
Listen, if you know that there's somebody in your child's life that definitely is not
222
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,880
good for them and they have the fruit of all the bad things that are not good for them,
223
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,460
you can pray that friend out.
224
00:13:59,460 --> 00:14:00,460
This is how I pray.
225
00:14:00,460 --> 00:14:02,000
It's not a witchcraft prayer.
226
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,160
I just say, Father, anything in my child's life, any person, any relationship, I don't
227
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:14,600
mention any names, I don't get into all that, but Lord, any person, any friendship, any
228
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:22,000
relationship that is not planted by you, I pray that it would be uprooted in the name
229
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,000
of Jesus.
230
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,800
And then I pray in the Holy Ghost.
231
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,800
Okay?
232
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,120
Okay, here's another one.
233
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,920
I love, I get, this is how it happens with me a lot.
234
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,840
The reason it happens with me a lot, it's a scripture, is where you get a scripture
235
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,400
for your child.
236
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,440
The reason it happens for me a lot is because I listen to a lot of scripture.
237
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Scripture on tape, scripture, Bible scriptures, just straight scripture, not necessarily always
238
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,080
a teaching, just scripture after scripture after scripture.
239
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,240
A scripture.
240
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,040
The Holy Spirit can communicate a prayer burden.
241
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,160
I'm not quitting until I'm done, so I just want you to know.
242
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:01,800
The Holy Spirit can communicate a prayer burden to us through a passage of scripture.
243
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,800
God's Word is living and active.
244
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:12,000
And the Spirit can use the Word of God to speak directly into the lives of a particular
245
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
situation.
246
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,080
Now, I, I, I, actually I'll give you an example.
247
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:23,680
I experienced this one night when I laid hands on, again, Danielle in this case, I laid my
248
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:31,840
hands on Danielle and when I laid my hands on her, a scripture came bubbling up.
249
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,480
What is prophecy?
250
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,800
Prophecy is a bubbling up.
251
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,400
Well, it was bubbling up.
252
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,400
What is it?
253
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,560
I'm prophetically getting insight as a parent about something with my child.
254
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:49,240
It bubbled up and a scripture came to me and came into my mind where Jesus said, you know,
255
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:55,120
don't be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have anxieties of its own.
256
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,560
Consider the birds of the air.
257
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,400
They don't think about what they're going to eat or what they're going to drink.
258
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,160
You know, the flowers of the field, you know, they don't toil and they don't, you know,
259
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,040
try to make themselves beautiful, but your heavenly Father feeds the birds and your heavenly
260
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,760
Father makes the fields beautiful.
261
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,520
That, that scripture.
262
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:19,400
So I opened up my eyes and because I had a scripture, I knew what her, her, her need
263
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,400
was.
264
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,800
I already had the answer.
265
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,280
The Lord gave the answer, but it pinpointed her need.
266
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,480
Do you understand what I'm saying?
267
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,720
So I stopped and I looked at her, stopped praying.
268
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,160
I looked at her and I said, Danielle, I said, do you worry?
269
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,800
Now at the time she was just a little kid.
270
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:38,800
She was little.
271
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,240
She wasn't like a teenager.
272
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,960
And I said, do you worry?
273
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:49,880
Because my child, Danielle, has always been a little more ahead emotionally and in maturity.
274
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,720
I said, do you, you know, which caused her to think more.
275
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,160
She was also a thinker, you know, very, very bright girl.
276
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,480
I said, do you worry a lot?
277
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,920
And she said, well, what do you mean?
278
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,320
I go, do you worry, honey?
279
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,280
Do you worry a lot?
280
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,760
And she went, and I said, do you know?
281
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:15,920
And I read her the scripture and I prayed with her and I told her that God cared about
282
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:23,040
her because that scripture does say if God so cares for the birds and for the beautifying
283
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,960
the fields, how much more does he care for you?
284
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,880
And so it gave her light and a revelation that God loved her, cared for her, and didn't
285
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,200
want her to worry.
286
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,640
Not only that, but prophetically, I received that word from the Lord.
287
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,280
And that's very helpful.
288
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,280
Okay?
289
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,440
Because God wants to lead and guide our children on the best path for their lives.
290
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,520
But he needs us to get involved.
291
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,020
He needs us to pray.
292
00:17:48,020 --> 00:17:49,780
He needs us to speak to them.
293
00:17:49,780 --> 00:17:54,920
He needs us to do whatever we can as they allow us to.
294
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:55,920
Okay?
295
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:02,800
Okay, another way, number seven is a vision or a dream.
296
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,360
Sometimes we receive prayer alerts through dreams or visions.
297
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:13,560
You know, that scripture, I can't quote it directly where the Bible says in Job 33 where
298
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,440
when we're quiet, when we're sleeping, our minds aren't active, when slumber comes upon
299
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,720
us, God will give us a vision or a dream in the night.
300
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Okay?
301
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:23,720
I've had many, many dreams.
302
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,440
I'm not going to get into all the examples because I want to close in about the next
303
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,440
ten minutes.
304
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:34,000
But I'm going to give you something that happened, again, this came in a vision.
305
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,360
This was a prayer alert.
306
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:41,640
This helped me tremendously to help my daughter, Jacqueline.
307
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,640
Okay?
308
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,600
So, one day I was praying in my upstairs prayer room, now it's a closet, and I was praying
309
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:55,160
and I was interceding and I was praying for the children, praying for my kids, and all
310
00:18:55,160 --> 00:19:04,040
of a sudden I saw on the inside of me, it was a vision on the inside.
311
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,560
Now notice I said on the inside, now I've never had an open vision, there's different
312
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,760
kinds of visions.
313
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,960
I had something on the inside that I saw.
314
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:13,960
Okay?
315
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:22,560
And what I saw on the inside was Jacqueline in her bed and at the time she had a canopy
316
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:32,400
with all these white curtains and above her headboard it said, the princess is sleeping.
317
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:38,520
And in the vision on the inside I saw her in her bed with that whole thing going on,
318
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:45,280
in the natural, that's what her bed looked like, and the Lord said to me, he said to
319
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:52,320
me, and he had an attitude about it, he said, there's another kind of praying going on
320
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,880
in this house, and then he said, she's praying that you won't travel.
321
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,080
And I was like, what?
322
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:09,920
Well first of all, my kids were small, they were home, and I was simply praying, Lord,
323
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:15,800
when the time is right, put me back into the ministry, open up doors that no man can shut
324
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:21,560
because I had stopped all public ministry to raise my children, and so I just was praying
325
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,400
for the future, for what was coming ten years up the road ahead.
326
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,560
But somehow Jacqueline must have heard me praying that God would open up doors, that
327
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:37,480
I would be traveling again, and I would be on the road, and I wouldn't be with her.
328
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:44,120
And so it was just as real to me as this phone sitting next to me.
329
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:48,780
I knew that I knew that I knew, she's praying that I don't travel.
330
00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:53,600
And so I got in my car to go pick them up at the bus stop, which was only half a block
331
00:20:53,600 --> 00:21:00,160
away, yes, that's how I operated back in the day, and I picked them up at the bus stop,
332
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,760
and I just couldn't wait because I just knew that I had something.
333
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:11,200
And I gave them their snacks, and gave them their milk and all that, and I said, Jacqueline,
334
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,120
could we go upstairs and could we talk?
335
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:15,040
I want to talk to you about something.
336
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,440
I took her up in my office, sat her down on the same chair that I received that prayer
337
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,520
alert, that vision, that whatever you want to call it, the N-word vision.
338
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:29,920
And I said to her, Jacqueline, I said, are you praying that Mommy doesn't travel?
339
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,640
And she said, yes, Mommy, oh God.
340
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,280
And she started praying that I wouldn't travel to some state, in some one of the states in
341
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,280
the United States.
342
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:42,120
She goes, I need you, I need you to be here for me, and I just don't want you to go.
343
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:50,440
And I said, honey, I said, Mommy's not going to go anywhere until you're off and I'm released
344
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,360
and you guys are on your own, meaning college, basically.
345
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:59,520
And so I showed her in the Bible where God had literally spoke to me out of Proverbs
346
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:08,000
where he said, Proverbs 31, a woman considers her own household, you know, before, and the
347
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,880
Amplified worded it in a regard where it said something about before she goes into her field.
348
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,240
And then I put in there for me, the ramo word was field, was the field of ministry.
349
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,920
And I showed her where God spoke to me and reassured her that that wasn't going to happen.
350
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,600
Well, what is that?
351
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,320
That came as an inward revelation, like a vision.
352
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:35,600
It wasn't necessarily a prayer alert, but it was something to help me to ease the anxiety
353
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,000
and get her to understand that she was safe.
354
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,200
I think our children today, especially today, need to know that they're safe.
355
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,200
Okay?
356
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,960
Number eight, and we have this one and one more and then we'll close.
357
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,200
A heaviness in the spirit.
358
00:22:52,200 --> 00:23:00,400
At times, God clues us into a prayer need through a heaviness in our spirits or a feeling
359
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,840
of being grieved in our spirit.
360
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,440
Like when you think about that child, how do you feel on the inside?
361
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,640
It's a spiritual thing.
362
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,140
Being grieved in our spirit.
363
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:15,320
It can be slight or it can be heavy.
364
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,200
Here's how I would describe it.
365
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,800
It's like a pain on the inside, but not a pain anywhere in your body.
366
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,160
It's a pain in your spirit.
367
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,840
It's not in the physical realm.
368
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:33,840
It comes from our spirits by the Holy Spirit, but it can be felt in our souls and at times
369
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,920
manifest in our bodies, meaning, ooh, I'm so grieved in my spirit.
370
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,600
And you just feel it on the inside and you're kind of like clenched, you know, in a sense
371
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,920
like bowed down because of it.
372
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,040
Okay?
373
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:54,160
When we think about certain people, something on the inside is grieved or pained.
374
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,920
This is a sign that it's time for us to pray for that child.
375
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:03,080
Lastly, a strong love.
376
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,760
Okay?
377
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,560
Prayer should always be born out of a heart of love no matter what.
378
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:15,000
But if you think about a particular child and you have like a strong love for them,
379
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,960
yes, we have a natural love for our children.
380
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,960
I get it.
381
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:26,600
But if you just randomly, suddenly get a strong love for one particular child, then that's
382
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,140
a prayer assignment.
383
00:24:28,140 --> 00:24:29,240
That's a prayer alert.
384
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,880
You're being alerted.
385
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,480
You're being alerted.
386
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:39,840
We can receive a prayer alert when a stronger than usual love rises up from within our hearts
387
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,120
for a particular child.
388
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:47,040
We know Romans 5, 5, the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost.
389
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,200
But this is a love prayer alert.
390
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:58,620
This love transcends our human love and is a manifestation of God's love for that child.
391
00:24:58,620 --> 00:25:05,920
This agape love will especially manifest when there is a need for a deeper level of prayer
392
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:12,520
like travail, which we're not going to cover in this teaching.
393
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,520
Okay?
394
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:19,400
Well, again, I want to remind you if you could please share this teaching on your wall.
395
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,400
Share it with your friends.
396
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,960
This is a much needed message today.
397
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:28,180
I also want to remind you to connect with other parents or the grandparents.
398
00:25:28,180 --> 00:25:29,180
Have prayer calls.
399
00:25:29,180 --> 00:25:31,760
A 15-minute call.
400
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,200
Have a prayer meeting.
401
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,160
Do a Zoom call.
402
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,320
Prayer opens up the door for God to work.
403
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,320
Okay?
404
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,320
Let me pray for you.
405
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,320
Thank you, Lord.
406
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:49,520
Father, what a beautiful time we had tonight.
407
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,760
Beautiful time.
408
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:53,760
Beautiful time.
409
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,080
The Holy Spirit help us.
410
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,240
Lord, teach us to pray.
411
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,360
Continue to teach us to pray.
412
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:03,360
Even as your disciples ask you, Lord, we ask the same.
413
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:05,360
Teach us to pray.
414
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:07,720
Help us to understand the art of intercession.
415
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,660
Father, we pray for these children.
416
00:26:10,660 --> 00:26:16,080
We pray for the generations from the babies that are born now all the way up to the millennials.
417
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,480
We pray, Father, that they would run and not grow weary.
418
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:25,240
We pray that they would walk and not faint, that their steps would be ordered and established
419
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:33,200
by you, that you would lead them, guide them into all truth, that you would turn this
420
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:38,840
generation into the generation that would turn the world upside down.
421
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:39,920
And we praise you, Lord.
422
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,560
We thank you today for everything that you've done.
423
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,860
And we pray, Lord God, that there would be a revival of praying for our families, that
424
00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:53,080
mothers, fathers, grandmothers, all these aunts and uncles and godparents would receive
425
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:58,960
this call to action and that we would be doers of the word and not hearers only.
426
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,920
In Jesus' name, amen.
427
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:07,240
Praise you, Lord, we bless you and honor you and we glorify your holy name.
428
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,640
Praise you, Lord.
429
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,640
Praise you, Jesus.
430
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,040
We worship you.
431
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,480
I don't know why I'm hearing this.
432
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,720
I keep hearing in my spirit, Lord, teach us to pray.
433
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:25,040
Lord, I pray that there would be a greater revelation and understanding about the prayer
434
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,760
closet, about prayer alerts, prayer burdens.
435
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,840
Help us, Holy Spirit.
436
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:32,840
We love you.
437
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:41,320
We covet that you would guide us in our prayer closet supernaturally in Jesus' name.
438
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,040
Thank you so much for tuning in to today's podcast.
439
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,240
It has been such a joy sharing this time with you.
440
00:27:46,240 --> 00:28:02,840
