Prophetically Praying Parents - Session 1 (KDI) | Part 1 | Margie Fleurant

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240
You pray it and he can answer it.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,040
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,680
avails much.

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,040
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray

5
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,320
so that he can answer it.

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,080
Goes into the hearts of the people,

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,120
doesn't return void, it produces results.

8
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:26,040
This is my new book,

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,980
Contend Stewarding the Hearts and Destinies of Our Children.

10
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:31,120
In Prayer.

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,840
And this is my assignment in this season,

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,240
even though I've been speaking on other things.

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,240
But, you know, we need to contend in prayer,

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,520
in the place of prayer on the behalf of our children.

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,600
This book, one of my editors said to me,

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,480
why don't we put an outline in it?

17
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:54,080
I said, I'm not putting that outline in it, I'm done.

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,840
You help me put the outline in

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,480
and I'll work with you on that and approve of it.

20
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,840
So at the end of each chapter, we put an outline in,

21
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,220
we have prayers in there.

22
00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:06,920
I made up the prayer, the prayer that I did make up

23
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,760
by the Spirit was about two and a half pages long.

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,980
It was downloaded into me like, you know,

25
00:01:14,980 --> 00:01:16,680
like you would when you're anointed

26
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,280
and it just keeps flowing.

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,120
Just like you are.

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,960
You were asking me about writing the book.

29
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:22,240
But it was two and a half pages.

30
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,240
So we broke the prayer up into small segments

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,840
and we put them at the end of each chapter.

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,360
The very end of this book,

33
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,160
because I made this really thorough.

34
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,360
At the very end of the book, I have, I think I counted,

35
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,160
I don't know if it's 164, maybe 64 scriptures

36
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,840
and promises concerning your children.

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,720
We're gonna talk about this as we get into the message.

38
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,720
And then lastly, Michael will, you know, will approve of this.

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,000
I go into a lot about tongues

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,520
and then I go into travail in intercession

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,520
because we're giving birth to the destinies of our children.

42
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,080
And so this is the first book I really went in depth

43
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,080
about the prayer of intercession with respect to the part

44
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,520
where you enter into that inner working of the Holy Spirit.

45
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,640
And we call it travail, my little children,

46
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:29,080
in whom I travail in birth again, to what?

47
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,800
To Christ before in you.

48
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,480
So that's my new book.

49
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,680
We decided to self publish that book

50
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,040
because we thought we were better off doing it that way.

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,160
Amen.

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,920
And sometimes when you go with the publisher,

53
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:43,800
you give your baby away, you give your copy right away

54
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,920
and then they don't do anything for you.

55
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:49,080
So we decided this time we were going to self publish

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,840
and let God do what he wants.

57
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,680
Amen.

58
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,160
This is not my ministry.

59
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,720
This is not my calling.

60
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,440
I'm just the steward of a message.

61
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,040
I'm the steward of an anointing.

62
00:02:59,040 --> 00:02:59,880
Amen.

63
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,080
As a matter of fact, while we're on the subject,

64
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,320
I want you to understand,

65
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,920
those of you that are listening,

66
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:08,560
that when I teach and I speak,

67
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,040
there is something of the measure of what I carry

68
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,400
that's gonna come up out of me

69
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,200
and it is gonna be imparted unto you.

70
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:19,040
Amen.

71
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,040
You can't see it.

72
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,760
You can't feel it,

73
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,240
but spiritual things are transferable.

74
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,080
Yes.

75
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,120
They're transferable through association.

76
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:27,960
Yeah.

77
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,040
They're transferable through laying on of hands,

78
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,040
which is a big deal.

79
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,880
Don't just let anybody lay hands on you.

80
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,720
Amen. That's right.

81
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,600
And it's transferable through who you sit under.

82
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,480
Yeah. Okay.

83
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,880
And you'll see a lot of times,

84
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,880
and Michael and I experienced it,

85
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,080
I have the heart of Kennedy Hagan.

86
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,400
I believe he gave birth to me in prayer one day

87
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,720
and I sometimes didn't know

88
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,560
because we have many spiritual sons and daughters

89
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,120
that we've given birth to.

90
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,360
Some we know.

91
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,200
Amen.

92
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,760
And some we're working with and some we don't know.

93
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,600
Right.

94
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,440
But you know, the beauty of it is,

95
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,160
is one day we will stand before God,

96
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,240
we'll give an account for our lives,

97
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,120
and we'll find out when that veil is open,

98
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,560
what we really did for God.

99
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,240
You know, sometimes I just sit here and like,

100
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,520
what are they doing?

101
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,840
And the Lord just keeps reminding me,

102
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:20,240
listen, you just keep doing what I tell you to do.

103
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,720
You're laying up treasure in heaven

104
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,600
and nobody can steal that.

105
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,080
You just keep working the works of him that sent you

106
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,960
while it is called day.

107
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,080
He said, because there's gonna come a time

108
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,120
where I'm gonna take you up into glory

109
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,560
in your late or mid 90s,

110
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,320
and I'll show you what you did.

111
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,840
So we don't always know what we're doing.

112
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:43,160
Even in the place of prayer,

113
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,160
you could give birth to something or pray something through.

114
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,480
And then somebody in heaven comes up to you and says,

115
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,480
hey, I was the one.

116
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,040
So my point was this,

117
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,080
I believe Kennedy Hagan gave birth to me

118
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,840
because I carry his DNA.

119
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:01,720
And when I went to Ramo, I was 19 years old.

120
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,240
I had just gotten born again.

121
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,440
I was only born again like six months.

122
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,240
I was raised a Catholic, loved, I don't know.

123
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,480
Don't get upset.

124
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,080
I loved being a Catholic because that's all I knew.

125
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,560
Because that's the character we went to church every day,

126
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,600
it was prayer ritual, praying every day,

127
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,840
which was already in the anime.

128
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:23,680
Because you know you're acting out your destiny

129
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,480
as a child, you know that, right?

130
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,440
And even when we talk about praying for our kids,

131
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,200
and I talk about some of these practical things

132
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,720
in the book, if you watch your kids,

133
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,680
they're already somewhat acting out their destiny.

134
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,320
So as a child, I was always praying,

135
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,400
but then there came a time where I realized

136
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,000
that sin had revived, I got separated from God as a teen

137
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,200
when I reached that age of accountability.

138
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,440
And then one day, long story short,

139
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,040
I accepted, I heard the audible voice of God in my bedroom.

140
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,640
In 829, North President Wheaton, Illinois,

141
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,440
I heard the audible voice of the Father,

142
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,440
first time I ever heard that authoritative voice.

143
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,880
And I said, Lord, what must I do to be saved?

144
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,480
And I heard an audible voice saying,

145
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,920
after a year of seeking him,

146
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,640
and reading my mother's Catholic Bible,

147
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,840
I heard the Father say, only believe.

148
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:18,400
And I believed, and I was translated

149
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,400
out of the kingdom of darkness,

150
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,040
into the kingdom of his dear son.

151
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,600
I felt the love of the Father, Romans 5,5,

152
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,600
being poured into my heart by the Holy Ghost.

153
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,720
I instantaneously became a new creation in Christ Jesus.

154
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,120
I was still Margie, but the old man passed away,

155
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,560
and a new man was born.

156
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,160
And I just, you know, was saved.

157
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,280
Six months later, I went to Ramah.

158
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:46,280
I'm not going to anything.

159
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:50,600
And Bob Yand and he's preaching about what happened

160
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,760
from the cross to the throne, and we're all mesmerized.

161
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,840
And I was the one that said, wow,

162
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:58,600
really loud right in front of everybody,

163
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,360
because the revelation of what happened

164
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,640
between the cross and the throne,

165
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,800
it is just an incredible thing.

166
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,160
The things of God are incredible.

167
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,560
So I am just really excited to be here.

168
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,000
My voice is a little funny,

169
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,560
because I did a women's conference yesterday,

170
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,560
and I had two services, and I pulled a Michael Fram, you know.

171
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,400
I don't want to think, oh God, I gotta speak again tomorrow,

172
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,000
help me Jesus.

173
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,320
Okay, so I believe that somebody

174
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,000
that is listening right now, you're not born again.

175
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,840
And I gave a simple message of salvation,

176
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,520
because the anointing was here to deliver that to you.

177
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,840
The Bible says, if you believe in your heart

178
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,800
on the Lord Jesus Christ, and confess Him with your mouth,

179
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,920
you will be saved and your search will be over.

180
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,760
The Bible says, those that seek me, find me.

181
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,480
When you knock, the door will be opened.

182
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,480
Ask Him into your heart.

183
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,720
He's not on the cross.

184
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,880
No, He is risen from the dead,

185
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,640
and He is alive forevermore.

186
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,280
And He's knocking at the door of your heart.

187
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,640
So all you have to do is believe,

188
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,480
ask Him to come into your heart,

189
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,040
and you'll be in your creation in Christ, amen?

190
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:10,880
Amen.

191
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,120
Okay, I think we need to be sensitive

192
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,440
to who's listening to us.

193
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,440
When you sense the anointing on somebody,

194
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,600
or what you're saying, that's the flow

195
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,440
and the rhythm of the Holy Spirit.

196
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,920
And it's not maybe for who's here,

197
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,960
it's for who's out there.

198
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,800
Amen?

199
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,620
Amen.

200
00:08:26,620 --> 00:08:28,040
Okay, let's get started.

201
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,960
We're gonna talk about prophetically praying.

202
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,440
Why don't I just call it parents?

203
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,640
I wanna call it caregivers.

204
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,080
Because when we talk about prophetically praying caregivers,

205
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,320
we're talking about parents,

206
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,800
we're talking about grandparents,

207
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,360
we're talking about you may be an aunt,

208
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,080
you may be an uncle,

209
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,040
we're talking about your nieces,

210
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,040
we're talking about your nephews.

211
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,800
Listen to me, we're talking about people

212
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,360
in your spirit of influence,

213
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,080
who you may not necessarily have given birth to

214
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,760
or are not part of your blood relatives,

215
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,760
but God has assigned you, listen,

216
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,840
to be a watchman over them.

217
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,360
Yeah, amen.

218
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,960
A watchman is a whole nother message,

219
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,440
but you're called to be a watchman over them,

220
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,760
to guard them, to protect them, to see things coming

221
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,440
that may try to steal from them,

222
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,040
and kill from them, and destroy them.

223
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,480
You're a prophetic watchman.

224
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,840
I have many kids, young, they're not kids,

225
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,120
they're in their 30s now, but they call me godmother.

226
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,160
So my story is in the book,

227
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,840
my story is that I gave birth to three kids in one year.

228
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Figure that one out.

229
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:41,400
Yeah, right.

230
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,000
You're not supposed to do that.

231
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,160
What a woman.

232
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,400
You're a girl.

233
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,900
You're a dumb girl.

234
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,240
I gave birth to three kids in one year,

235
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,560
I had twins through neutral fertilization,

236
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:01,520
and a singleton in my next pregnancy,

237
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,040
and in my next pregnancy, I didn't know it,

238
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,940
but seven months after my twins were born,

239
00:10:07,940 --> 00:10:11,360
I found out I was five months pregnant.

240
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,000
Can I tell you what that is?

241
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,200
It's called denial.

242
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,040
I'm not.

243
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:15,880
I'm not.

244
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,720
I'm not.

245
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,320
The baby's moving, punching up against the walls

246
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,080
of the belly, I'm looking what is going on.

247
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,520
I didn't hear, Lord have mercy.

248
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,160
But here's the thing about that.

249
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,600
I was in denial, but you know,

250
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,960
God knows the beginning from the end,

251
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,600
he's the alpha and the omega,

252
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,880
the author and the finisher of our faith,

253
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,480
he knows everything.

254
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,640
And he has a plan for all of our children,

255
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,480
a plan for our families.

256
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,840
That's why there's such an attack on the families

257
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,400
in this day and in this hour.

258
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,720
That's why we need to rise up,

259
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,800
and we need to take our places in prayer.

260
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,240
And here's the thing, I was having trouble conceiving,

261
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,600
and I was 34-ish at the time,

262
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,280
and I was upset, I was believing God,

263
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,840
I was standing on the scriptures,

264
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,840
you said in your word, non-Exodus,

265
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,000
you, non-moloos, you're young by miscares,

266
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,440
overbearing in the land,

267
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,640
you said in your word that you would make me

268
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,400
the happy mother of children,

269
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,320
and I wasn't getting pregnant.

270
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,160
And so I went to a fertility doctor

271
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,400
up in Easton, Pennsylvania, he was a Christian,

272
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,520
and he was also very good.

273
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,640
And he, you know, we started the process,

274
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,960
and when I was coming home, I pulled into my driveway,

275
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,160
the garage door went up,

276
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,160
and the minute my car was halfway in the garage,

277
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,960
God spoke to me and said this.

278
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,920
I wasn't planning on sharing all this, just so you know.

279
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,840
The Lord spoke to me and said,

280
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,840
you're gonna have twins in your first pregnancy,

281
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,360
and you're gonna get pregnant

282
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,640
through in vitro fertilization.

283
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,840
So he's already telling me, just go through the process,

284
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,280
it's gonna work.

285
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,280
Then he said to me, and in your second pregnancy,

286
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,040
you're gonna get pregnant,

287
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,920
he said you're gonna have a singleton,

288
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,480
he called her, I found out later, I was a girl,

289
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,640
you're gonna have a singleton in your second pregnancy,

290
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,880
and I looked it up, it means one baby.

291
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,960
He said, aren't you glad God knows everything?

292
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,560
Yeah, I bet.

293
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:24,320
He says you're gonna have a singleton

294
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,920
in your second pregnancy, and in your second pregnancy,

295
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,080
you're gonna get pregnant on your own.

296
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,080
Great, I have the original piece of paper,

297
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,360
I should actually keep it with me, just to prove to you.

298
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,760
I have, it was written on a yellow piece of paper,

299
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,080
I have it in my journals, and you know what, sure enough,

300
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,880
it happened exactly the way he said.

301
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,080
This is the thing about God, you know him in part,

302
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,280
you prophesy in part, but he doesn't tell you

303
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,120
the whole story.

304
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:53,960
No, he doesn't.

305
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:54,800
No, he doesn't.

306
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,680
Because if he told us the whole story, we'd mess it up.

307
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:01,800
He didn't tell me that I was gonna get pregnant

308
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,560
within the same year.

309
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,520
And I was like, I thought your word says,

310
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,080
plan a surprise for me and not harm me.

311
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,160
I'm listening.

312
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,280
I'm listening.

313
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,080
I'm listening.

314
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,440
So Jacqueline may have been a quote, surprise baby,

315
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,520
but she was no surprise in the heart of the father.

316
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,360
Yeah, amen.

317
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,480
Because here's how it works.

318
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,880
Before I ever formed you in your mother's womb,

319
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,440
I knew you and I ordained you to live in this time

320
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,560
and in this season.

321
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:35,280
So God knows everything.

322
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,920
But here's the deal about what in my story,

323
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,880
that when the twins were born, I went into preterm labor

324
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,880
about 28 weeks gestation.

325
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,600
So they put me on bed rest.

326
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,960
I was on bed rest.

327
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,440
And you don't really know the importance of bed rest

328
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,600
till you have a premature baby.

329
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,880
Because you think, oh, I'm just gonna walk around.

330
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,240
Why do I have to be on bed rest?

331
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,000
I don't get it, I don't get it, I don't get it.

332
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,800
But I did my best.

333
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,480
How many of you are Type A-ish?

334
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,320
You know.

335
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,160
So I stayed on bed rest as long as I possibly could

336
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,360
and as much as I possibly could.

337
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,520
But on the day of my shower,

338
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:19,640
I told my sister-in-law, she didn't know shit.

339
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,640
I said, don't have the shower this late in my pregnancy.

340
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,440
Because sometimes babies, twins,

341
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,680
can come a little bit early.

342
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,200
I didn't think they were gonna be 10 weeks early.

343
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,400
So the day of my shower,

344
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,080
nine, you know, here we are,

345
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,760
running to the hospital, going to the hospital.

346
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,320
Ready or not, these babies were coming.

347
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,160
I was in labor.

348
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,200
So they get me to the hospital and I'm laying there.

349
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,480
You know how they do, they give you steroids,

350
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,800
you know, for the lungs.

351
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,520
Because every minute that that baby is on the inside of you

352
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,000
helps them in their development.

353
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,320
And so they shot me full of steroids.

354
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,960
And then it just came to the point

355
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,400
where it was just like, we gotta get her in the ER.

356
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,160
These babies are in distress.

357
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,480
We've gotta take these babies out.

358
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,880
And so I went into, we went into the OR

359
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,520
and they did, no, yeah, no, they did a C-section.

360
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,920
Now here's the interesting thing about God.

361
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,680
He had told me, long ago,

362
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,760
even before I knew I had a fertility problem,

363
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,440
he had said, your firstborn is gonna be a son.

364
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,680
He says, and you're to call his name, John.

365
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,480
Now I need you, Jonathan.

366
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,800
They call him John now, J-O-N, right?

367
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,600
So it's fine, I just like that name.

368
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,440
Right?

369
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,280
Right.

370
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,040
So, okay, my firstborn is gonna be a son.

371
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,920
You're to call his name, Jonathan.

372
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,520
And he spoke some things to me about him.

373
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,840
You know, just like God speaks to you about your children.

374
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Just hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to you

375
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,040
as I'm talking.

376
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,480
Because some things are better caught than taught.

377
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,600
And he's gonna speak to you by revelation

378
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,400
about your own situation in your own life.

379
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,760
And reveal things to you, show you things,

380
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,520
write it down, and don't forget about it.

381
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,960
And so, then I find out I have this fertility problem,

382
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,480
here we are in the OR.

383
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,440
So they were getting ready to perform a C-section,

384
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,160
and because it was a C-section,

385
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,320
baby B, which was Jonathan,

386
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,680
became baby A.

387
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,520
You understand?

388
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:26,360
Yep.

389
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,800
Because of the way of the delivery.

390
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,120
Now if I had had a normal birth,

391
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,680
baby A would have been Danielle,

392
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,560
she would have been born first.

393
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,520
But because I had a C-section,

394
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,200
Jonathan, baby B, was born first.

395
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,040
Are you with me?

396
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:44,860
Yes.

397
00:16:44,860 --> 00:16:46,080
So here we are in the OR,

398
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,760
so they get me all prepped,

399
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,880
they get Jonathan, he comes out,

400
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,000
and he's crying.

401
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:51,840
Waaah!

402
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,040
He's three pounds, five ounces, but he's crying.

403
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,320
So that's a good thing.

404
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,000
When they went in to get Danielle,

405
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,320
you know moms, you know how this is,

406
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,800
I could feel her crawling up,

407
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,800
I could still, remember, she would crawl up my ribs,

408
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,440
and she didn't wanna come out,

409
00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:14,800
cause she just wasn't ready.

410
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,800
That kid, man, she's such a precious girl.

411
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,360
That child is a call of God in her life,

412
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:22,100
she has a prophetic anointing,

413
00:17:22,100 --> 00:17:24,640
she's so sensitive, she could walk into a room

414
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,600
and feel things and discern things.

415
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,080
And as her mother, I've had to teach her

416
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,720
how to divide and not allow that

417
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,080
to affect her emotional realm.

418
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:35,960
Yeah.

419
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,120
Anyway, so she's crawling up inside of me,

420
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:40,760
and she didn't wanna come out.

421
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,480
So they had to really go in and get her out.

422
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,640
So when they went in and pulled her out,

423
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,820
she wasn't crying.

424
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,840
No devil, and no devil in hell

425
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,080
is gonna steal my children,

426
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,240
because they're the heritage of the Lord,

427
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,800
and no devil in hell is gonna steal my child's destiny,

428
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,040
and no devil in hell is gonna abort the prophetic word

429
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,320
that God gave me concerning my twins.

430
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,160
That's right.

431
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:09,980
Amen.

432
00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:10,820
So here we go.

433
00:18:10,820 --> 00:18:14,120
So right there in the OR, right then and there,

434
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:16,800
I went to war on the behalf of my children.

435
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,140
That's right. Amen.

436
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:19,880
I began to speak the word of God,

437
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,560
Father, you said in your word

438
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,400
that I would have twins in my first pregnancy,

439
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,400
and you said in your word,

440
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,720
I wasn't thinking the second one would be so quick,

441
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,280
but you said in your word

442
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,560
that I would be the happy mother of children.

443
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,120
You said in your word

444
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,640
that none would lose their young by miscarriage

445
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,160
or be barren in the land.

446
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,160
You gave me these children.

447
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,880
And so I reminded him of what he said,

448
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,160
and even the prophetic words

449
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,040
that were spoken over my children,

450
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,680
I reminded him of that,

451
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,960
but at the same time,

452
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,840
I just began to rebuke death,

453
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,320
I rebuke the devil,

454
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,480
I used the name of Jesus,

455
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,480
I worshiped and I prayed in tongues,

456
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,560
I didn't care who was around me.

457
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,400
Amen.

458
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,240
Yeah.

459
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,080
I don't really care.

460
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:03,900
Right.

461
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:04,740
Let me tell you,

462
00:19:04,740 --> 00:19:05,800
they're gonna persecute us,

463
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,880
whether we're quiet or whether we're loud.

464
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,700
Right.

465
00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:11,400
No matter what, we're gonna get persecuted.

466
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,240
Right.

467
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,200
Who gives a flip?

468
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,040
Right.

469
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,120
I just gotta tell ya,

470
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:16,040
I'm over it.

471
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,040
Yeah, amen.

472
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,160
I am so over being quiet.

473
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,360
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.

474
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:22,400
Amen.

475
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,400
It is the power of God unto salvation.

476
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,960
Their word salvation is healing,

477
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,120
deliverance, safety, and soundness.

478
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:36,160
If we don't speak and we don't preach,

479
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,880
people aren't gonna hear

480
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,880
and they're not gonna get rescued

481
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,920
from the powers of darkness

482
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,240
that are actually the very things

483
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,640
that are persecuting us.

484
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:46,960
Right.

485
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,920
That was all free?

486
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,760
Yes.

487
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:49,600
So right there.

488
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,520
Amen.

489
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,000
Right there in the delivery room,

490
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,840
God said to me,

491
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,480
and he didn't say,

492
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,120
I just realized as I wrote,

493
00:19:57,120 --> 00:19:59,880
this for me is a legacy book.

494
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,240
Okay?

495
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,440
That's why the latter years

496
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,960
will be greater than the former.

497
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,120
Amen.

498
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:08,880
Don't let the devil steal your legacy, parents.

499
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,320
You hold fast to that which is yours.

500
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,640
Amen.

501
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,200
And so right there in the delivery room,

502
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,920
I realized now,

503
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,880
I not only gave birth to them in the natural,

504
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,200
but my call as a prophetically praying parent

505
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,480
was set in motion.

506
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,800
Right from the delivery room.

507
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:26,960
Amen.

508
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,800
Praise him.

509
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:28,800
And again, here we go.

510
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,920
Now listen to this.

511
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,760
This is the Holy Ghost.

512
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,840
Listen, Danielle's the one.

513
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:35,680
Why?

514
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,240
She's marked.

515
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,240
They're all marked.

516
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,440
I get it.

517
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,080
But there's that one.

518
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,760
If you think about your children,

519
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,560
who is it among your kids and your family

520
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,400
or your nieces

521
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,840
that has the most weird warfare?

522
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,720
It's usually the one that's highly anointed

523
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,280
and called and set apart by God.

524
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,680
And so we have to be sensitive to that

525
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,360
and have wisdom in discerning,

526
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:09,160
no wonder the enemy's after that child.

527
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,800
No wonder why the enemy,

528
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,880
you know, no wonder why that child

529
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,160
is doing all those crazy things.

530
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,000
Yeah.

531
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,800
Because, you know, the devil knows

532
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,800
and therefore he releases those fiery dark stars.

533
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,160
But let me, I got good news.

534
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,840
Where sin abounds, grace does so much more abound.

535
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:27,680
Yeah, baby.

536
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:28,520
Yeah.

537
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,440
So Danielle and her husband are both on their way

538
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,800
into ministry, they're being trained and equipped.

539
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,840
But my point is, I'm still not done praying for her.

540
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,680
Amen.

541
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,360
Praying for Jonathan, praying for Stephanie,

542
00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:41,000
praying for all these God kids.

543
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,520
The job as a praying parent never ends.

544
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,760
Right, amen.

545
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,440
Michael, your son is 18 years old.

546
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,840
But when he's 40, you'll still be praying for him.

547
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:52,680
Amen.

548
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:53,720
It never ends.

549
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,640
And how many of your parents know what I'm talking about?

550
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,680
You still get text messages.

551
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,720
Mommy pray about this, mommy pray about that.

552
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,360
Mommy, what do you think about, you know,

553
00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:04,560
in New Jersey we say mommy.

554
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:05,400
Yeah.

555
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,240
I love that.

556
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,080
Right.

557
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,320
You know, they always are gonna need us.

558
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,720
We're always gonna be lifetime mentors to our children.

559
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,560
Right.

560
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,280
This is something that I noticed when I was going

561
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,960
into the churches more recently, especially after COVID.

562
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,560
I would literally have, would go into meetings

563
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,480
if this was my subject.

564
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,880
And I literally would have to, instead of getting

565
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,680
into teaching and preaching about how to pray

566
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,200
for your kids, I literally would go in

567
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:39,200
and I had to shake the parents and go, what are you doing?

568
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,600
Get your head out of the sand.

569
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,960
I know that it's hard times for you.

570
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,720
I know that you're going through difficult times,

571
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,400
but this is not a time for you to draw back.

572
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,240
Right.

573
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,200
These generations need you now more than ever.

574
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,040
Yes, yes.

575
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,800
If you think you've had work there growing up,

576
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,560
no, I'm okay, I just have to tell my watch, I'm okay.

577
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,840
If you think you're, you know, because it does that.

578
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,360
And sometimes it tells me to breathe

579
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:04,680
and I don't get that either.

580
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,520
Yes.

581
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,360
Okay.

582
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:10,480
You don't need to breathe, just go.

583
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:11,800
Come on, come on.

584
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,640
Amen.

585
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:13,480
Amen.

586
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,880
Time to move for a minute.

587
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,720
But I tell them, I'm like, if you think you had warfare

588
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,120
growing up and you're going through warfare right now

589
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:26,840
because of all the circumstances you've been through,

590
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,840
I said, imagine what is going on with your kids.

591
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,520
This is not a time for you to be discouraged.

592
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,640
This is not a time for you to lament.

593
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,120
This is not a time for put your head in the sand.

594
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:41,200
This is not a time for you to weep and mourn over spelled

595
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,160
mal, over the past, over whatever.

596
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,200
It's time for you to arise.

597
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,640
Time for you to shine.

598
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,560
It's time for you to take your place in the place of prayer

599
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,480
and lay one, we're gonna get into this,

600
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,520
lay one hand on them, one hand on God

601
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,840
and pull them up out of the mighty clay

602
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,760
and help set their feet upon a rock

603
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,560
so that God can put a new song in their hearts.

604
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,400
Yes.

605
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,240
Listen.

606
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,520
They've seen violence, they've seen troubles,

607
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,720
they've seen trials, they've seen the twin towers come down,

608
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,880
they've seen terrorism, they've seen shootings,

609
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,440
they've seen shootings in preschools.

610
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,760
Let me explain something to you.

611
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,160
This is not negative.

612
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,520
These kids are suffering.

613
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,360
Yes. Right.

614
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:24,400
Extremely, yeah.

615
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,240
Okay?

616
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,200
And I read an article in Newsweek from years ago

617
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,000
and the article said that our kids are not all right.

618
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,800
And I'm thinking, and that was before school shootings.

619
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,080
Oh. Right.

620
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,760
That was before our concerts and all this stuff,

621
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:40,840
the shootings.

622
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,080
Listen, these kids are going through a lot

623
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,440
and they're not all talking about it.

624
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,120
That's why you gotta be as wise as a serpent,

625
00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:52,000
as harmless as a dove.

626
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,320
When these kids come around you,

627
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,320
use your prophetic insight and peer into their hearts

628
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,240
and be discerning of their thoughts

629
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,400
and find out if they're okay.

630
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,400
Right. Yeah, that's right.

631
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,640
These kids are dealing with anxiety.

632
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,840
I mean, I'm surrounded by them

633
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,120
because I was a godmother to my three kids

634
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:13,360
and all their friends.

635
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:14,920
So I heard all the talk.

636
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,160
It was all part of my personal preparation to teach you.

637
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,000
Right, amen.

638
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,120
Because it was my ministry to be a mom.

639
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:22,520
I shut everything down.

640
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,000
Shut everything, didn't travel, didn't preach.

641
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
And I wanted to be a mom.

642
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,400
I just child proofed the whole house and let them be kids

643
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,640
and I took them everywhere.

644
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,400
It was so much fun.

645
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,520
You know, but I didn't know I was being trained

646
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,840
and equipped to teach people how to raise

647
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,680
and pray for the next generation.

648
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,360
And I'm telling you, these kids are not all right.

649
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:50,360
They deal with nightmares, anxiety, stress, worry, fear.

650
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,920
My daughter-in-law gets on the subway.

651
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,760
She thinks somebody's, she's running.

652
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,400
It's like the list just goes on and on and on

653
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,440
and I don't really care.

654
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,800
I'm not being negative.

655
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,240
We gotta wake up.

656
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,080
Right, amen.

657
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:03,920
That's right.

658
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:04,760
Wake up.

659
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:06,560
Is everybody here?

660
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:07,400
Yes.

661
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,040
That's my introduction.

662
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,880
Ready?

663
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:10,720
Yeah.

664
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,920
Opening text, Psalms 127, verse three and four.

665
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,800
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord.

666
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,440
The fruit of the womb is a reward.

667
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,760
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,

668
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,040
so are the children of one's youth.

669
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,680
This, and when I say the children,

670
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,120
I think I already have to change some things in the book

671
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:42,840
because I talk about the Zs and the millennials.

672
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,880
So I have to kind of clarify when I speak publicly

673
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,960
when you talk about the children,

674
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,200
I'm talking about the millennials,

675
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,960
which is to about age 34-ish,

676
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,000
and then down to all the babies that are being born

677
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,120
in the world right now, right today.

678
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:03,520
A lot of my children, children's friends,

679
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,440
they're all having babies.

680
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,560
They're 30 years old and they're having babies

681
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,880
and they don't know how to pray.

682
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,800
They don't know how to stand.

683
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,640
They don't know how to watch.

684
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,440
You know, and you talk about pressure.

685
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,640
I don't know how people do it without praying.

686
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:20,480
Right.

687
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:21,320
Right?

688
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,840
But this is a chosen and a marked generation

689
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,960
and the enemy is afraid of the generations

690
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,640
of young people who are in the earth today.

691
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:32,560
He's afraid of them.

692
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:33,400
Yes.

693
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,560
Stay with me and I'll tell you why.

694
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,600
Some have even been aborted,

695
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,120
thus never fulfilling their destiny.

696
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:46,320
They have more potential, more gifting

697
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,200
than any other generation.

698
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,200
He is not just afraid of who they are,

699
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,400
he is afraid of who they will become.

700
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,640
Amen.

701
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:00,480
Amen.

702
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,360
Quick story.

703
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:07,960
I, you know, was a speaker at the Church of Grace and Peace.

704
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,800
Remember that church?

705
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,640
Yes.

706
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,320
Walter Healy was the pastor at the time.

707
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,320
It was a women's event and there was about 200 women there

708
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:21,320
and the event took place about two weeks

709
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,080
right after the Twin Towers came down.

710
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,440
And here's number one, as a ministry leader

711
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,400
and as the speaker, I got hammered the night

712
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,840
before that meeting.

713
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,320
I had the anxiety.

714
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,240
I had the fear.

715
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,160
I'm like, I never had this kind of warfare before

716
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,560
in my life as a leader,

717
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,800
because I'm not nervous to speak, are you?

718
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,120
No, makes no sense.

719
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,800
Sometimes the warfare you go through

720
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,480
makes absolutely no sense.

721
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,040
Right.

722
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:51,880
Right.

723
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,640
So I was gonna call the leader and go,

724
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,080
I just can't do the meeting tomorrow.

725
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,280
I had that much pressure, that much warfare.

726
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,000
I didn't even sleep the entire night.

727
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,840
But I said, you know what?

728
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,280
I'm pushing through the warfare.

729
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,120
I have a new thing.

730
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,800
I hope this doesn't offend you.

731
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:06,960
Screw the devil.

732
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:07,800
Right.

733
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:08,640
Yes.

734
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,480
That's so good.

735
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,320
I like that.

736
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,160
Amen.

737
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,000
I'm sucking on the inside.

738
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:12,840
I second that.

739
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:13,680
Screw the devil.

740
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:14,520
Amen.

741
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,040
You are not stopping me.

742
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,880
That's right.

743
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,160
No, no, no, no, no.

744
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,920
No, this is an engine.

745
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,480
No, no, no, no, no.

746
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:23,320
No.

747
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:24,160
Yes.

748
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,000
No.

749
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,720
No, you're not stopping me.

750
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:27,560
Totally.

751
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,320
No, the fact that there's that much warfare

752
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,560
means God's up to something.

753
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,400
That's right.

754
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,920
He wants to do something big.

755
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:34,760
Yes.

756
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,800
So don't misinterpret some of the warfare that you get

757
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,440
as you're not in the will of God.

758
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,280
Right.

759
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,600
That warfare means you're in the will of God.

760
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,440
That's right.

761
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,000
That's the little something right.

762
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,200
At the right time, you're right where you're supposed to be.

763
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,040
Right.

764
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,160
It's not God.

765
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,960
He's not the author of confusion.

766
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:52,800
Right.

767
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:53,640
It's the devil.

768
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:54,480
Right.

769
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,320
He's trying to stop you.

770
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,160
Screw the devil.

771
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,240
Screw the devil.

772
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,080
