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

0:00 You pray it and he can answer it. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. God will put the prayer in your heart to pray so that he can answer it. Goes into the hearts of the people, doesn't return void, it produces results. This is my new book, Contend Stewarding the Hearts and Destinies of Our Children. In Prayer. And this is my assignment in this season, even though I've been speaking on other things. But, you know, we need to contend in prayer, in the place of prayer on the behalf of our children.

0:46 This book, one of my editors said to me, why don't we put an outline in it? I said, I'm not putting that outline in it, I'm done. You help me put the outline in and I'll work with you on that and approve of it. So at the end of each chapter, we put an outline in, we have prayers in there. I made up the prayer, the prayer that I did make up by the Spirit was about two and a half pages long. It was downloaded into me like, you know, like you would when you're anointed and it just keeps flowing. Just like you are. You were asking me about writing the book. But it was two and a half pages. So we broke the prayer up into small segments and we put them at the end of each chapter.

1:29 The very end of this book, because I made this really thorough. At the very end of the book, I have, I think I counted, I don't know if it's 164, maybe 64 scriptures and promises concerning your children. We're gonna talk about this as we get into the message. And then lastly, Michael will, you know, will approve of this. I go into a lot about tongues and then I go into travail in intercession because we're giving birth to the destinies of our children. And so this is the first book I really went in depth about the prayer of intercession with respect to the part where you enter into that inner working of the Holy Spirit.

2:22 And we call it travail, my little children, in whom I travail in birth again, to what? To Christ before in you. So that's my new book. We decided to self publish that book because we thought we were better off doing it that way. Amen. And sometimes when you go with the publisher, you give your baby away, you give your copy right away and then they don't do anything for you. So we decided this time we were going to self publish and let God do what he wants. Amen. This is not my ministry. This is not my calling. I'm just the steward of a message. I'm the steward of an anointing. Amen. As a matter of fact, while we're on the subject, I want you to understand, those of you that are listening, that when I teach and I speak, there is something of the measure of what I carry that's gonna come up out of me and it is gonna be imparted unto you.

3:18 Amen. You can't see it. You can't feel it, but spiritual things are transferable. Yes. They're transferable through association. Yeah. They're transferable through laying on of hands, which is a big deal. Don't just let anybody lay hands on you. Amen. That's right. And it's transferable through who you sit under. Yeah. Okay. And you'll see a lot of times, and Michael and I experienced it, I have the heart of Kennedy Hagan. I believe he gave birth to me in prayer one day and I sometimes didn't know because we have many spiritual sons and daughters that we've given birth to. Some we know. Amen.

3:58 And some we're working with and some we don't know. Right. But you know, the beauty of it is, is one day we will stand before God, we'll give an account for our lives, and we'll find out when that veil is open, what we really did for God. You know, sometimes I just sit here and like, what are they doing? And the Lord just keeps reminding me, listen, you just keep doing what I tell you to do. You're laying up treasure in heaven and nobody can steal that. You just keep working the works of him that sent you while it is called day. He said, because there's gonna come a time where I'm gonna take you up into glory in your late or mid 90s, and I'll show you what you did.

4:39 So we don't always know what we're doing. Even in the place of prayer, you could give birth to something or pray something through. And then somebody in heaven comes up to you and says, hey, I was the one. So my point was this, I believe Kennedy Hagan gave birth to me because I carry his DNA. And when I went to Ramo, I was 19 years old. I had just gotten born again. I was only born again like six months. I was raised a Catholic, loved, I don't know. Don't get upset. I loved being a Catholic because that's all I knew. Because that's the character we went to church every day, it was prayer ritual, praying every day, which was already in the anime.

5:21 Because you know you're acting out your destiny as a child, you know that, right? And even when we talk about praying for our kids, and I talk about some of these practical things in the book, if you watch your kids, they're already somewhat acting out their destiny. So as a child, I was always praying, but then there came a time where I realized that sin had revived, I got separated from God as a teen when I reached that age of accountability. And then one day, long story short, I accepted, I heard the audible voice of God in my bedroom. In 829, North President Wheaton, Illinois, I heard the audible voice of the Father, first time I ever heard that authoritative voice. And I said, Lord, what must I do to be saved?

6:04 And I heard an audible voice saying, after a year of seeking him, and reading my mother's Catholic Bible, I heard the Father say, only believe. And I believed, and I was translated out of the kingdom of darkness, into the kingdom of his dear son. I felt the love of the Father, Romans 5,5, being poured into my heart by the Holy Ghost. I instantaneously became a new creation in Christ Jesus. I was still Margie, but the old man passed away, and a new man was born. And I just, you know, was saved. Six months later, I went to Ramah. I'm not going to anything.

6:48 And Bob Yand and he's preaching about what happened from the cross to the throne, and we're all mesmerized. And I was the one that said, wow, really loud right in front of everybody, because the revelation of what happened between the cross and the throne, it is just an incredible thing. The things of God are incredible. So I am just really excited to be here. My voice is a little funny, because I did a women's conference yesterday, and I had two services, and I pulled a Michael Fram, you know. I don't want to think, oh God, I gotta speak again tomorrow, help me Jesus. Okay, so I believe that somebody that is listening right now, you're not born again.

7:30 And I gave a simple message of salvation, because the anointing was here to deliver that to you. The Bible says, if you believe in your heart on the Lord Jesus Christ, and confess Him with your mouth, you will be saved and your search will be over. The Bible says, those that seek me, find me. When you knock, the door will be opened. Ask Him into your heart. He's not on the cross. No, He is risen from the dead, and He is alive forevermore. And He's knocking at the door of your heart. So all you have to do is believe, ask Him to come into your heart, and you'll be in your creation in Christ, amen?

8:10 Amen. Okay, I think we need to be sensitive to who's listening to us. When you sense the anointing on somebody, or what you're saying, that's the flow and the rhythm of the Holy Spirit. And it's not maybe for who's here, it's for who's out there. Amen? Amen. Okay, let's get started. We're gonna talk about prophetically praying. Why don't I just call it parents? I wanna call it caregivers. Because when we talk about prophetically praying caregivers, we're talking about parents, we're talking about grandparents, we're talking about you may be an aunt, you may be an uncle, we're talking about your nieces, we're talking about your nephews.

8:53 Listen to me, we're talking about people in your spirit of influence, who you may not necessarily have given birth to or are not part of your blood relatives, but God has assigned you, listen, to be a watchman over them. Yeah, amen. A watchman is a whole nother message, but you're called to be a watchman over them, to guard them, to protect them, to see things coming that may try to steal from them, and kill from them, and destroy them. You're a prophetic watchman. I have many kids, young, they're not kids, they're in their 30s now, but they call me godmother. So my story is in the book, my story is that I gave birth to three kids in one year.

9:39 Figure that one out. Yeah, right. You're not supposed to do that. What a woman. You're a girl. You're a dumb girl. I gave birth to three kids in one year, I had twins through neutral fertilization, and a singleton in my next pregnancy, and in my next pregnancy, I didn't know it, but seven months after my twins were born, I found out I was five months pregnant. Can I tell you what that is? It's called denial. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. The baby's moving, punching up against the walls of the belly, I'm looking what is going on.

10:24 I didn't hear, Lord have mercy. But here's the thing about that. I was in denial, but you know, God knows the beginning from the end, he's the alpha and the omega, the author and the finisher of our faith, he knows everything. And he has a plan for all of our children, a plan for our families. That's why there's such an attack on the families in this day and in this hour. That's why we need to rise up, and we need to take our places in prayer. And here's the thing, I was having trouble conceiving, and I was 34-ish at the time, and I was upset, I was believing God, I was standing on the scriptures, you said in your word, non-Exodus, you, non-moloos, you're young by miscares, overbearing in the land, you said in your word that you would make me the happy mother of children, and I wasn't getting pregnant.

11:14 And so I went to a fertility doctor up in Easton, Pennsylvania, he was a Christian, and he was also very good. And he, you know, we started the process, and when I was coming home, I pulled into my driveway, the garage door went up, and the minute my car was halfway in the garage, God spoke to me and said this. I wasn't planning on sharing all this, just so you know. The Lord spoke to me and said, you're gonna have twins in your first pregnancy, and you're gonna get pregnant through in vitro fertilization.

11:59 So he's already telling me, just go through the process, it's gonna work. Then he said to me, and in your second pregnancy, you're gonna get pregnant, he said you're gonna have a singleton, he called her, I found out later, I was a girl, you're gonna have a singleton in your second pregnancy, and I looked it up, it means one baby. He said, aren't you glad God knows everything? Yeah, I bet. He says you're gonna have a singleton in your second pregnancy, and in your second pregnancy, you're gonna get pregnant on your own. Great, I have the original piece of paper, I should actually keep it with me, just to prove to you. I have, it was written on a yellow piece of paper, I have it in my journals, and you know what, sure enough, it happened exactly the way he said.

12:46 This is the thing about God, you know him in part, you prophesy in part, but he doesn't tell you the whole story. No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't. Because if he told us the whole story, we'd mess it up. He didn't tell me that I was gonna get pregnant within the same year. And I was like, I thought your word says, plan a surprise for me and not harm me. I'm listening. I'm listening. I'm listening. So Jacqueline may have been a quote, surprise baby, but she was no surprise in the heart of the father. Yeah, amen. Because here's how it works. Before I ever formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you and I ordained you to live in this time and in this season.

13:33 So God knows everything. But here's the deal about what in my story, that when the twins were born, I went into preterm labor about 28 weeks gestation. So they put me on bed rest. I was on bed rest. And you don't really know the importance of bed rest till you have a premature baby. Because you think, oh, I'm just gonna walk around. Why do I have to be on bed rest? I don't get it, I don't get it, I don't get it. But I did my best. How many of you are Type A-ish? You know. So I stayed on bed rest as long as I possibly could and as much as I possibly could. But on the day of my shower, I told my sister-in-law, she didn't know shit.

14:20 I said, don't have the shower this late in my pregnancy. Because sometimes babies, twins, can come a little bit early. I didn't think they were gonna be 10 weeks early. So the day of my shower, nine, you know, here we are, running to the hospital, going to the hospital. Ready or not, these babies were coming. I was in labor. So they get me to the hospital and I'm laying there. You know how they do, they give you steroids, you know, for the lungs. Because every minute that that baby is on the inside of you helps them in their development. And so they shot me full of steroids. And then it just came to the point where it was just like, we gotta get her in the ER.

15:06 These babies are in distress. We've gotta take these babies out. And so I went into, we went into the OR and they did, no, yeah, no, they did a C-section. Now here's the interesting thing about God. He had told me, long ago, even before I knew I had a fertility problem, he had said, your firstborn is gonna be a son. He says, and you're to call his name, John. Now I need you, Jonathan. They call him John now, J-O-N, right? So it's fine, I just like that name. Right? Right. So, okay, my firstborn is gonna be a son. You're to call his name, Jonathan. And he spoke some things to me about him.

15:47 You know, just like God speaks to you about your children. Just hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to you as I'm talking. Because some things are better caught than taught. And he's gonna speak to you by revelation about your own situation in your own life. And reveal things to you, show you things, write it down, and don't forget about it. And so, then I find out I have this fertility problem, here we are in the OR. So they were getting ready to perform a C-section, and because it was a C-section, baby B, which was Jonathan, became baby A. You understand? Yep. Because of the way of the delivery.

16:27 Now if I had had a normal birth, baby A would have been Danielle, she would have been born first. But because I had a C-section, Jonathan, baby B, was born first. Are you with me? Yes. So here we are in the OR, so they get me all prepped, they get Jonathan, he comes out, and he's crying. Waaah! He's three pounds, five ounces, but he's crying. So that's a good thing. When they went in to get Danielle, you know moms, you know how this is, I could feel her crawling up, I could still, remember, she would crawl up my ribs, and she didn't wanna come out, cause she just wasn't ready.

17:14 That kid, man, she's such a precious girl. That child is a call of God in her life, she has a prophetic anointing, she's so sensitive, she could walk into a room and feel things and discern things. And as her mother, I've had to teach her how to divide and not allow that to affect her emotional realm. Yeah. Anyway, so she's crawling up inside of me, and she didn't wanna come out. So they had to really go in and get her out. So when they went in and pulled her out, she wasn't crying. No devil, and no devil in hell is gonna steal my children, because they're the heritage of the Lord, and no devil in hell is gonna steal my child's destiny, and no devil in hell is gonna abort the prophetic word that God gave me concerning my twins.

18:08 That's right. Amen. So here we go. So right there in the OR, right then and there, I went to war on the behalf of my children. That's right. Amen. I began to speak the word of God, Father, you said in your word that I would have twins in my first pregnancy, and you said in your word, I wasn't thinking the second one would be so quick, but you said in your word that I would be the happy mother of children. You said in your word that none would lose their young by miscarriage or be barren in the land. You gave me these children. And so I reminded him of what he said, and even the prophetic words that were spoken over my children, I reminded him of that, but at the same time, I just began to rebuke death, I rebuke the devil, I used the name of Jesus, I worshiped and I prayed in tongues, I didn't care who was around me.

19:00 Amen. Yeah. I don't really care. Right. Let me tell you, they're gonna persecute us, whether we're quiet or whether we're loud. Right. No matter what, we're gonna get persecuted. Right. Who gives a flip? Right. I just gotta tell ya, I'm over it. Yeah, amen. I am so over being quiet. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. Amen. It is the power of God unto salvation. Their word salvation is healing, deliverance, safety, and soundness. If we don't speak and we don't preach, people aren't gonna hear and they're not gonna get rescued from the powers of darkness that are actually the very things that are persecuting us.

19:45 Right. That was all free? Yes. So right there. Amen. Right there in the delivery room, God said to me, and he didn't say, I just realized as I wrote, this for me is a legacy book. Okay? That's why the latter years will be greater than the former. Amen. Don't let the devil steal your legacy, parents. You hold fast to that which is yours. Amen. And so right there in the delivery room, I realized now, I not only gave birth to them in the natural, but my call as a prophetically praying parent was set in motion. Right from the delivery room.

20:25 Amen. Praise him. And again, here we go. Now listen to this. This is the Holy Ghost. Listen, Danielle's the one. Why? She's marked. They're all marked. I get it. But there's that one. If you think about your children, who is it among your kids and your family or your nieces that has the most weird warfare? It's usually the one that's highly anointed and called and set apart by God. And so we have to be sensitive to that and have wisdom in discerning, no wonder the enemy's after that child.

21:09 No wonder why the enemy, you know, no wonder why that child is doing all those crazy things. Yeah. Because, you know, the devil knows and therefore he releases those fiery dark stars. But let me, I got good news. Where sin abounds, grace does so much more abound. Yeah, baby. Yeah. So Danielle and her husband are both on their way into ministry, they're being trained and equipped. But my point is, I'm still not done praying for her. Amen. Praying for Jonathan, praying for Stephanie, praying for all these God kids. The job as a praying parent never ends. Right, amen. Michael, your son is 18 years old. But when he's 40, you'll still be praying for him.

21:51 Amen. It never ends. And how many of your parents know what I'm talking about? You still get text messages. Mommy pray about this, mommy pray about that. Mommy, what do you think about, you know, in New Jersey we say mommy. Yeah. I love that. Right. You know, they always are gonna need us. We're always gonna be lifetime mentors to our children. Right. This is something that I noticed when I was going into the churches more recently, especially after COVID. I would literally have, would go into meetings if this was my subject. And I literally would have to, instead of getting into teaching and preaching about how to pray for your kids, I literally would go in and I had to shake the parents and go, what are you doing?

22:39 Get your head out of the sand. I know that it's hard times for you. I know that you're going through difficult times, but this is not a time for you to draw back. Right. These generations need you now more than ever. Yes, yes. If you think you've had work there growing up, no, I'm okay, I just have to tell my watch, I'm okay. If you think you're, you know, because it does that. And sometimes it tells me to breathe and I don't get that either. Yes. Okay. You don't need to breathe, just go. Come on, come on. Amen. Amen. Time to move for a minute. But I tell them, I'm like, if you think you had warfare growing up and you're going through warfare right now because of all the circumstances you've been through, I said, imagine what is going on with your kids.

23:29 This is not a time for you to be discouraged. This is not a time for you to lament. This is not a time for put your head in the sand. This is not a time for you to weep and mourn over spelled mal, over the past, over whatever. It's time for you to arise. Time for you to shine. It's time for you to take your place in the place of prayer and lay one, we're gonna get into this, lay one hand on them, one hand on God and pull them up out of the mighty clay and help set their feet upon a rock so that God can put a new song in their hearts. Yes. Listen. They've seen violence, they've seen troubles, they've seen trials, they've seen the twin towers come down, they've seen terrorism, they've seen shootings, they've seen shootings in preschools.

24:17 Let me explain something to you. This is not negative. These kids are suffering. Yes. Right. Extremely, yeah. Okay? And I read an article in Newsweek from years ago and the article said that our kids are not all right. And I'm thinking, and that was before school shootings. Oh. Right. That was before our concerts and all this stuff, the shootings. Listen, these kids are going through a lot and they're not all talking about it. That's why you gotta be as wise as a serpent, as harmless as a dove. When these kids come around you, use your prophetic insight and peer into their hearts and be discerning of their thoughts and find out if they're okay.

25:04 Right. Yeah, that's right. These kids are dealing with anxiety. I mean, I'm surrounded by them because I was a godmother to my three kids and all their friends. So I heard all the talk. It was all part of my personal preparation to teach you. Right, amen. Because it was my ministry to be a mom. I shut everything down. Shut everything, didn't travel, didn't preach. And I wanted to be a mom. I just child proofed the whole house and let them be kids and I took them everywhere. It was so much fun. You know, but I didn't know I was being trained and equipped to teach people how to raise and pray for the next generation. And I'm telling you, these kids are not all right.

25:45 They deal with nightmares, anxiety, stress, worry, fear. My daughter-in-law gets on the subway. She thinks somebody's, she's running. It's like the list just goes on and on and on and I don't really care. I'm not being negative. We gotta wake up. Right, amen. That's right. Wake up. Is everybody here? Yes. That's my introduction. Ready? Yeah. Opening text, Psalms 127, verse three and four. Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord. The fruit of the womb is a reward.

26:26 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. This, and when I say the children, I think I already have to change some things in the book because I talk about the Zs and the millennials. So I have to kind of clarify when I speak publicly when you talk about the children, I'm talking about the millennials, which is to about age 34-ish, and then down to all the babies that are being born in the world right now, right today. A lot of my children, children's friends, they're all having babies. They're 30 years old and they're having babies and they don't know how to pray.

27:10 They don't know how to stand. They don't know how to watch. You know, and you talk about pressure. I don't know how people do it without praying. Right. Right? But this is a chosen and a marked generation and the enemy is afraid of the generations of young people who are in the earth today. He's afraid of them. Yes. Stay with me and I'll tell you why. Some have even been aborted, thus never fulfilling their destiny. They have more potential, more gifting than any other generation. He is not just afraid of who they are, he is afraid of who they will become.

27:58 Amen. Amen. Quick story. I, you know, was a speaker at the Church of Grace and Peace. Remember that church? Yes. Walter Healy was the pastor at the time. It was a women's event and there was about 200 women there and the event took place about two weeks right after the Twin Towers came down. And here's number one, as a ministry leader and as the speaker, I got hammered the night before that meeting. I had the anxiety. I had the fear. I'm like, I never had this kind of warfare before in my life as a leader, because I'm not nervous to speak, are you?

28:44 No, makes no sense. Sometimes the warfare you go through makes absolutely no sense. Right. Right. So I was gonna call the leader and go, I just can't do the meeting tomorrow. I had that much pressure, that much warfare. I didn't even sleep the entire night. But I said, you know what? I'm pushing through the warfare. I have a new thing. I hope this doesn't offend you. Screw the devil. Right. Yes. That's so good. I like that. Amen. I'm sucking on the inside. I second that. Screw the devil. Amen. You are not stopping me. That's right. No, no, no, no, no. No, this is an engine. No, no, no, no, no. No. Yes. No.

29:25 No, you're not stopping me. Totally. No, the fact that there's that much warfare means God's up to something. That's right. He wants to do something big. Yes. So don't misinterpret some of the warfare that you get as you're not in the will of God. Right. That warfare means you're in the will of God. That's right. That's the little something right. At the right time, you're right where you're supposed to be. Right. It's not God. He's not the author of confusion. Right. It's the devil. Right. He's trying to stop you. Screw the devil. Screw the devil. Thank you so much for tuning in to today's podcast. It has been such a joy sharing this time with you.
