Prophetically Praying Parents - Session 1 (KDI) | Part 2 | 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. Keep you from going and entering into your personal promise. Amen. For whatever he's called you to do. You've gotta just be strong like God told Joshua. Be bold, be strong, be courageous. I've already given you the land, just go through it. Yes! I didn't care. I was like, no, devil, you're not stopping me.

0:41 No! If I give in right here, right now, what's gonna happen with future speaking engagements? That's right. If the devil can get to the head, he can get to the people. Right. It's you mothers, you fathers and leaders that have the word of the Lord. Right. For your spirit of influence. Amen. So anyway, so I get into the conference and you know how it is, you can feel people. Then the whole crowd, you know what I mean? The whole crowd was, oh. And you could hear their thoughts and here's what their thoughts were. What about my children? Because it's like my kids said to me, they said to me, mommy, I thought you said this would never happen in our nation.

1:26 Wow. I said, mommy was wrong. And you know, I made a mistake. We all learned this. Right. The TV was on. I picked my kids up from school that day. The TV was on and we just kept, you know, we came home and you just kept seeing the planes hit the towers. Yeah. Hit the towers, cramped. I mean, I don't know how many times and you notice after a while they stopped playing it. It just traumatized them. Yeah. Everyone was traumatized. We were talking about terrorist attack. People were traumatized. Yes. And so I went into this woman's meeting and I could just, because as women, I know the men too, I get that.

2:09 So don't misunderstand me. I'm just speaking for like a woman's conference. We're all like, what about my children? What's gonna happen to the future and the destiny of my children, right? And they were thinking that. And I walked into that, welcome to preaching. Glory be to God, hallelujah. Right. Walking into a funeral, walking into one. Have you ever walked into a room where somebody's just died and you have to minister to the parents and they found the child dead? I mean, it's like, it was that kind of, you know, atmosphere of just death and discouragement. Oh, what about my children? I said, Lord, what do you want me to say?

2:50 What kind of message am I gonna preach? I don't remember what I spoke on, but I do remember this. The spirit of God said to me, and this is more of the dots that connect the lines to where we are at today. See, the Lord said to me, he said, you tell them, those who I call, I equip. Yeah. He said to me, he said, you tell these mothers, he said, I have put something on the inside of your children that heretofore has never been put on the inside of any of the generations that have ever walked the earth.

3:31 He said, those who I have called to live in a time such as this, he says, I've equipped. Yes. You tell them to fear not, neither be dismayed. I have strengthened them, I will help them, and I will uphold them with the right hand of my right hand. Amen. Amen. Glory to God. God is good. God is good. If it was us, we probably would have been crushed. Right. Right. All right, so there is a call on this generation. 1 Peter 2, 9. You are a chosen generation. They are chosen. That's right. The millennials, they think they're special. They're just so special.

4:12 You know what the Holy Ghost said? They are chosen. Right. And they are special. That's right. They are chosen. The devil just wants to mock. You millennials, you're just so special. Yeah, actually, they are special. That's right. You're chosen. That's right. The world is picking up on their destiny, and the enemy sees it as well, and he is afraid. Yes. Have you ever thought about it like that? Mm-hmm. Like my daughter Danielle, flowing and operating in the fullness of her prophetic gifting, with me as her mother and her mentors helping her, and then her husband's got the call of God. I'm live, but he's got a lot to learn.

4:53 All the children have a lot to learn. Sure. Right? But they're a powerhouse couple. So what do we do? The best gift I could ever give them is not Legos. They're into Legos. They put them together. We get pictures on our family chat, the whole thing for Christmas. You know the Lego Christmas things? I don't have the patience for that. I don't know. But the best gift I can really give my kids, Danielle and Jamie, is really the gift of prayer. Yeah. Jesus said it like this. He said, greater love has no man than this.

5:34 That a man would lay down his life for his friends. That's right. So what did Jesus do? Jesus came to the earth as an intercessor. He bridged the gap between God and sinful man, and it was the greatest act of love he could have ever done. Same holds true as parents. What is the greatest act of love we could do for our children? Lay down our lives, lay down our agendas, stand in the gap, put up the hedge for them, lay one hand on them, one hand on God, and be their personal intercessor.

6:16 That's the greatest ministry there is. I'm not teaching today. You know that, right? I'm preaching, but we're going to get into teaching. But I'm going to go with the flow of the Holy Ghost. Amen. That's right. No worries here. Right. This is only day one. I have four. Yeah, right. That's right. That you know of. We'll see. I'm just saying. I know. So anyway. Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da. God speaking? The greatest gift we could give our children is a gift of prayer. And it's the greatest calling. When I find I'm too distracted, so let me say it like this.

6:58 And I'm going to be honest. Because I'm like a real person, and I don't really. I'm careful when I say, because some things are major private, but I'm a real person. I went through a lot in the last three years. And my best friends know all about it. We're not getting into it. So in the last three years, I was highly distracted. OK? Highly distracted. I had to use my head more than any, anytime ever. Because I had to talk to lawyers. I had to talk to financial planners. I had to talk to forensic accountants. I had to find out how to fix my hot water here that suddenly blew up in my basement at 730 at night. I had to talk to the decorator. I mean, it was all just stinking. And I was tired. Are you listening?

7:39 And I just had so much responsibility, so much disturbance, so much crap going on in the last two, three years, that I laid down my mantle to a degree in praying for my children. Because I was tired and distracted as a mother. Right? And I could see the fruit of it. I never thought of that till I came out of my mouth one day when I was preaching. And the Lord said to me, I'm showing you things to come, or what's been going on. Out of your own mouth. Get back on the wall and be that watchman over your family.

8:19 I was relentless in prayer with my kids. I'm talking walk the floors, prayed in tongues, and walked the floors hours, pulled pictures of them out, prayed in the Holy Ghost. And things went well for them. But now they're in a little bit of a season where some crooked things, you could say that you're a parent. Some of the crooked ways need to be made straight. There's some rough places that need to be made plain. There's some mountains and the hills that really need to break forth before them into singing and some opportunities that they're missing. You know what? Prayer opens up the door for God to work. We have not because we ask not.

9:00 And our prayers avail much. And when we pray, God goes to work. Why? Because man is God's avenue into the earth. When we take our place in prayer, we stand in the gap on the behalf of our children, it demolishes the works of the enemy. It opens up good things for them. It causes them to have favor like a shield. It causes them even to have dreams and visions in the night. It opens up the eyes of their understanding. They get a spirit of wisdom and revelation. And then when they read the Bible, it's not boring. They have encounters with Jesus Christ. What? Because somebody's praying.

9:41 Amen. Amen. Jeremiah 1, 5. Before I formed you, before I formed you, God said, in the womb I knew you and ordained you. And I'm going to say it like this. To live in this time, God ordained these kids to live here. He ordained it. God ordained my kids. He told me I was going to have twins and a singleton. It was all by divine appointment. Oh, you know, that child, that child was born. I hate this. Out of wedlock, that child was born. There's no accidents. Right. It may be bad circumstances. But God will take the bad, and he will turn it around for the good.

10:24 Yes. Amen. Every child is a gift from God. And they're to be honored and treasured and nurtured and fed and given the best opportunities in life to be everything that they were created to be and created to do. Amen. Ecclesiastes 3, 2. To everything there is a season, right? A time to be born. And you as parents and grandparents or aunts and uncles or whatever you are have been chosen to be in their life as a spiritual leader and prophetic watchman.

11:04 Yes. Amen. I'm so prophetic. It's amazing. Oh, gosh. I got all these words from God. I'm prophetic. How about being prophetic on the behalf of our children? Right. Amen. But I talk about some practical things in the book, but we don't tell them everything we know. How do we know that's wisdom? That's right. Yeah. What did Mary do? She hid things in her hearts. Yeah. She knew things. I'm sure she didn't know that her son that she loved and adored would have to be crucified and beaten. I'm sure she didn't have the full revelation. How could you have? I don't know. I don't think God would have done that to her. But here's the thing. How about being a prophetic watchman and knowing things about our own kids and some things we know?

11:49 We don't let them know that we know. I'll tell you a little story since we're only on half the first introduction of the page. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. I got a lot to say. You know, the anointing is a certain way. Yes. Because if I come in the wrong with the wrong anointing, the wrong message, where's that scripture? If I come with it, if I don't speak, if the trumpet doesn't give, the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, how am I going to prepare the people for the battle? Right. So that's why we have the anointing. So here's an example of being a prophetic praying parent.

12:34 I did these videos, I forget what year, it was a while ago. God was speaking to me about mentoring the next generation. And it's like they said in Ohio, these kids, this generation is biblically illiterate. And back at the time, I wanted to do, the spirit gave me the idea to do what we call necessary truths in challenging times. So we did me and Rob, Perna, he was my guy. I wanted to be timeless, and I wanted to be thorough, and I wanted two cameras, switch them back and forth, switch them.

13:16 The lighting was fine, could have been a little better, because everything's about lighting, right? I heard this. Yes. We know this. And by the way, guys, when you take a picture, you've got to put the camera up. Because when you put it up and take the picture of your ladies, then they look skinnier. Yes! Write that down. That's great. So me and Rob and Richie, we produced what's called necessary truths in challenging times. Because I want to upload everything up on the internet, because I don't want to just leave a legacy to my children, a spiritual legacy to my children. And if they're not listening to me now, I know that when I'm in heaven, they're going to want to hear my voice.

14:00 So they're going to go online, and they're going to listen to all my videos. Amen. So necessary truths. So I did basics, baptism of the Holy Spirit, white tongues, the name of Jesus, why is there so much power, who we are in Christ, the heart of the Father, how to pray. There was like 23 of them. How to stand strong in challenging times. 23 of those videos, they're about 40 minutes. I learned now we've got to make them shorter, because people are just distracted. But I got done with one of the videos, and I took the mic off, handed it to Rob. How many of you know you always remember where God speaks to you? Absolutely. Especially if you're, listen, God-inside minded.

14:41 You look on the inside, and you walk around from that posture. That's why as a praying caretaker, every once in a while during the day, I look on the inside. John 7, 38, the Spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. You're right here on the inside, searching all the inner parts of the valley. I look on the inside, and as I watch it, I just look over my family, and I go, is everybody all right? And if I don't get a check, or a grieving, or whatever, then I know everything's good, that I can continue on. That particular day, I got done, took the mic off, gave it to Rob, and I walked into my foyer.

15:22 And when I walked into my foyer, you know how in your foyer you have all kinds of pictures of your family? How many of you have a new picture of your family? I should put a picture of my dog in there, too. He's part of the family. Yeah. Milo. Milo. Milo. Did you see him with his little paw in the village? Aw. Oh, no. What? He was. He had his blood work taken. He's their paw. Aw, looking happy. He feels sorry for him. He's going to give me a treat. He's going to give him a kiss. So anyway, so I walk through the foyer, and I have all the pictures of my family up in the foyer. And a person, everyone say a person. A person.

16:02 A person, the person, the Holy Spirit rose up within me, moved me this way, and my eyes, and he looked right out of my eyes, and I saw the picture of Jacqueline. And I got a check in my spirit, a bump in the spirit, a thing in the spirit. I don't know how to describe it. Spiritual things, you've got to catch it. It's something on the inside. And something said something's not right, and danger, danger, danger. I was like, what? So I took that to prayer. I'm going to teach you all this, so no worries. You guys good? Yes. We'll do that next week.

16:42 We'll start. So I just was like, I didn't know what was going on. I didn't know how to pray. So I prayed whatever I knew to pray. I prayed the song of protection, because she was in college at the time, the whole college thing. Please, pray over your kids now while they're in your house. Get hands on them every night. Pray over them, because when they're old, they're not only not going to depart from it, but when they go to college, you're going to have all that prayer all added up. It's going to work on their behalf. So I started praying for it. I prayed the word, prayed scripture, because that's all the insight I had, was danger, danger, danger. And then I prayed in tongues. I'm going to do a whole Sunday on the power and the purpose of praying in tongues.

17:27 I'm just going to say, I'm one of the best teachers when it comes to power, teaching on the power and the purpose of praying in tongues. And the church is not praying in tongues. A lot of them. OK, that's another thing. So I just started praying in tongues for it, praying in tongues, praying in tongues, praying in tongues, praying and praying. And I just got this. I was still grieving, praying, praying, praying, praying, praying, until I somewhat had a release. Everyone say release. Release. And so it's not the prayer of faith. I didn't believe, pray, receive, and go, am I married? What? No. This is different. So she came home from college.

18:07 And this time, you know, this time, I had to talk to her. I'm going to talk to her, because I believe that was the wisdom of God. He'll give you wisdom in what to speak and what not to speak. Amen. That day, the Lord said, you talk to her. Plus, I have a really good relationship with her. And I know her love language. And I know the whole thing. Try to stay connected to the kids. That's why I like this book so much, because I get practical insights and talk about practical books to read so that you can be a good parent. Because if your child doesn't feel loved, and their love language is acts of service, but you're going around hugging them all the time, it doesn't matter how much you hug them.

18:55 If you do something for them, they'll feel loved. Right. So it's their love language. So I have a really good relationship with her. And I just knew that boldness. Something on the other hand, you talk to her. You talk to her. You talk to her. Because they need our voices. Yes. So I go, Jacqueline, I want to talk to you about something. OK, Mommy. You know how they are. Everything's fine. But you got inside information. That's right. So I said, let's go out on the deck and let's sit down. I can remember where I sat and where she sat. So I said to her, I said, gentlemen, are you all right?

19:38 She goes, oh, yeah, what do you mean, Mommy? And I looked at her. I said, I had a prayer assignment for you. And I said, I just felt like something was severely wrong. And she looked at me. She said, oh, no, everything's fine, Mommy. And I said, Jacqueline, I don't know what it is, but it was bad. And all of a sudden, she looked at me. She's really cute. She's cute. Google her. She's a little mislabeled. I got a key to still keep a rating on her. All of a sudden, she starts crying.

20:21 Oh, my god. She starts telling me the whole story. And I found out the rest of the story when I was in Laguna Beach with her two months ago, because she didn't tell me the whole story. But now she felt confident, not confident. She knew how the kids would tell you little bits and pieces. They were uncomfortable. So she starts crying. And she said, Mommy, something happened. And I was really scared. And I gave in to peer pressure. And she told me she didn't feel good for three days. And I wanted her to call me. But sometimes, the kids, if we overreact to the kids, you're not going to tell us the truth. You know that, right? There's something to be said about poker face.

21:01 Yes. So she told me the whole thing. And she said, thank you for praying. I was so scared. And then I went ahead. She asked me to forgive her. I said, you pray. Let's pray to God. We prayed, laid hands on her. And then in Laguna Beach, she told me. I told her that I'd tell the story. I said, I asked for permissions, even in the book. But I don't have the whole story. But she said to me in Laguna, she said, you know what really happened? I said, what? She said, I gave it to peer pressure. I took some kind of pill. She says, and a half hour after I took some pill that her friend gave her, she said she threw up. And she threw up for three solid days.

21:41 And she thought she was going to die. I'm like, I can't even believe she didn't tell me. I would have driven there and picked her up, taking care of her. And so what was that? That's being a prophetic watchman. That's a gift to the spirit, devil. That's right. You can't have my kids. You're not doing this to my kids. That's why we have to be strong in the war. Amen? Yes. OK. Amen. I'm almost done for today. I'll just get to the end of the first page. Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! No rush. No rush. No rush. No rush. No rush. No rush. No rush. No rush. No rush. No rush.

22:22 No rush. No rush. Are we preparing the way for our children in the spirit? Yeah. K, set off. Set off. Whatever will be will be. No. No. No. How about no? That's right. How about no, devil? That's right. That's right. Are we supporting them in the most important and effective way? How can we also help them reach their full potential and ultimate destiny? Right? You did it. I did it. Renee did it. Ron did it. Mike did it. His son is the chief scout, whatever you call it.

23:02 Eagle Scout. Eagle Scout. Eagle Scout. That took sacrifice as a parent. Didn't it take sacrifice to do some of the things you did for your kids? I mean, I was in the car for four years, sometimes up to eight hours a day, driving them to school, driving them to that school, private school. This one's over here. That one's over there. Dance, hockey, lessons, sitting in parking lots, waiting for my kids, sometimes shopping, because I'd have a catalog back in the day. It was just like the ultimate. You're just doing that. You're helping them to be responsible adults and do their activities and hobbies.

23:44 But what about praying for them? Yeah. Wow. Kenneth B. Hagen once said, he said, there's going to come a generation, and it's going to be said of them like it was said of the early church. Say that have turned the world upside down, have come hither also. And I thought, oh, maybe you thought it. I think I'm a little older than you. But I thought a little bit. I thought, ah, Kenneth B. Hagen, he's prophesying about my generation. I was 19, 20 at the time. It's my generation. We're going to turn the world upside down.

24:25 And we had sprinkles of revival. You remember? We had meetings. I can remember. We had meetings. We'd line everybody up. Kids would be in the lines, adults. Kids would follow under the power of God, having dreams and visions. Remember that four-square church in Collings Lakes, New Jersey? We had some of those powerful meetings. We were in a move of God, but we didn't really know, really. You only know when you start hitting the dry times in the church as a universal church. So I just thought it was our generation. But I believe it's these kids that are being born in the earth today. Because like we said earlier, where sin abounds, grace of God so much more abounds.

25:10 And great grace was upon the early church. And they moved in power and demonstration. And I believe these kids that have not seen miracles and signs and wonders, I believe they're going to see it. Can I close by reading just a portion of a prophecy I received? I can't give you the whole thing, because it was about a 15-minute prophecy. But this prophecy I received in the middle of my message one time when I was preaching. And the Lord said several things. I'm going to jump in for the sake of time. And I felt like I wanted to read a part of this to you. And then we're going to close. The Spirit said a lot of things, so on and so forth.

25:51 Then I started to see. You know how when you're prophetic, you hear? And then you start to see. It's a different operation. And then I said by the Spirit, I see an army rising up. And it's an army of young men and young women, those who are called and ordained to live at a time such as this. The enemy is seeing that they are rising, and he is afraid of them. I love how this is all coming together, don't you? Thank God for the Holy Ghost. The enemy knows, because he's putting a conclusion to my message. That's how it's supposed to be, right?

26:31 You start off with your introduction, then you have your body. Then the conclusion is supposed to bring everything together that you just said. But sure, the Holy Spirit is the great teacher. Sure, yes. The enemy is seeing that they are rising, and he is afraid of them. The enemy knows things about the realm of the Spirit that some of my people don't know about the realm of the Spirit. It's interesting, when I read that this morning, when I was sitting there, I prophesied at one of our KIU events about the miracles and signs and wonders that were going to take place in our region. And then the Spirit of God said, He said, when you pray in tongues, you're abolishing the works of the darkness.

27:18 And the enemy sees it, and he fears it. And then He said, and the same thing that was said here, He said the enemy knows things about the realm of the Spirit that my people don't know about the realm of the Spirit. So here it is again. He sees they are rising up. Then He goes, little Joshua's, little Jeremiah's, little Caleb's, little Mary's, little Deborah's. And then I see many, many, many, many, that's why this whole mentoring thing is so Holy Ghost, many, many, many more ministry gifts than any other generation. They are called and anointed with ministry gifts because we're sin abound, my grace is going to so much more abound, because what is the ministry gifts?

28:05 So gifts of grace, that's all it is. We do what we do by the grace of God. I am anointing them and many signs and wonders will follow them. They need grace. So I'm calling you to seek my face, and I'm calling you to stand in the gap like you've never stood in the gap before, so that there are no surprises. I am going to teach you how to pray. I am going to teach you how to war. I am going to teach you how to go in until you have a breakthrough on the behalf of those whom I have called you to watch over. I've called you to watch over them. So stand in the gap for them, and you will say yes, because of your love and your heart for your children and this generation.

28:54 Remember, I have said in my word that if you'd be willing and obedient, you would eat the good of the land. There is great sorrow when your children are bowed down like the woman who was crippled by a spirit for 18 years. She was bent over and could not straighten herself up. Kennedy Hagan once said, he said, some people will never be saved and never be healed unless somebody prays for them, intercedes for them. Right. Because the scruple of conscience, there's so much unbelief and war that an intercessor has to go in, and it's the scripture, with the idea of completely removing it from them so that they can see the light of the glorious gospel shine into their hearts.

29:37 Faith arises and they receive their miracle. Yes. Thank you so much for tuning in to today's podcast. It has been such a joy sharing this time with you. For more inspiration and resources on today's topic, please visit our website at margiefloran.org. Thank you.
