Touched By Prayer – Part 2

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 --> 00:00:17,100
doesn't return void, it produces results.

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,880
Mm-hmm, that's it, that's it.

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,080
So good, so good.

10
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:27,840
And you know, the interesting thing is that

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,880
for the first time when people actually get to heaven

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,480
and they have that encounter and they feel love,

13
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:35,200
some people for the first time

14
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,080
feel what real love looks like.

15
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,200
Because we have been fooled,

16
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,800
we have been completely bamboozled

17
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,960
about what love looks like.

18
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,880
Love does not look like a Hallmark movie.

19
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,600
I hate to break it to you.

20
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,780
Love is so much different.

21
00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:53,180
Sometimes, sometimes love is hard.

22
00:00:53,180 --> 00:00:56,320
Sometimes, sometimes love really hurts.

23
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,960
Love hurts because it says that we're supposed

24
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,180
to endure all things.

25
00:01:00,180 --> 00:01:02,080
Love endures all things.

26
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,560
And I actually went to Moravian Falls

27
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,620
and I went and I saw Bob Jones.

28
00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:10,480
I saw his grave site and what was really cool about it,

29
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,080
I did not like on top of it

30
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,520
nor did I try to necromancy.

31
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,360
I'm just telling you.

32
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,360
I'm just, let me just say that really quickly

33
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,120
because I know that people are like,

34
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,000
oh, you went to this grave, that's so creepy.

35
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,480
And I'm like, no, I wasn't doing that.

36
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,400
But what I did do is I did say a prayer for him

37
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,560
and I thanked God for him.

38
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,120
And I thank God for the message that he brought

39
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,840
because it doesn't matter about his prophecies.

40
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,840
The most important message that he brought into my life

41
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,740
was did you learn how to love?

42
00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:42,240
Because that's been my mandate

43
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,600
ever since I heard that story.

44
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,600
Yeah.

45
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,800
I actually, the Lord, I did a teaching

46
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,720
to a group of leaders last year

47
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,600
and the spirit of God said to me,

48
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,400
said, I want you to title your message to me,

49
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,720
did you learn to love?

50
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,180
And it was talking about we can have prophecy,

51
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:06,200
we can have tongues, we can have all these things.

52
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,460
But did we as leaders learn to love?

53
00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:11,800
You know, there's a higher standard for leaders.

54
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,460
We'll be judged in a greater,

55
00:02:15,460 --> 00:02:18,160
there'd be a greater condemnation.

56
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,520
So it's really about love.

57
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,080
Well, and that's the other thing is that the Lord,

58
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,640
the Lord spoke to me and he said,

59
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:30,080
Lisa, you can't pray for what you don't love.

60
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,920
Yeah.

61
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:33,960
That's when my prayer started to change

62
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,760
because I realized that if I didn't have a true heart,

63
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,120
a true love for an individual,

64
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,760
and so if I don't know them, how could I love them?

65
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,040
I don't know them.

66
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,040
But what the Father said, he's like,

67
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,720
you don't need your love, you need mine.

68
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,560
Yeah.

69
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,800
And so just by pulling, just saying,

70
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,880
okay, Lord, fill me with the love that you have

71
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,360
for this individual so that when I minister to them,

72
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,800
when I pray for them, that they don't see me,

73
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,040
but they feel you.

74
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:01,120
Yeah.

75
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,680
That's right.

76
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,480
Well, you know, I like Leonard Ravenhill's son,

77
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,200
I forget his name, the son's name,

78
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,560
but he spoke a tremendous teaching

79
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,680
and it was just about hiding behind the cross.

80
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,520
Yeah.

81
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,480
That's why leaders go through so much

82
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,720
because I think the trials, the tribulations,

83
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,680
the sufferings of this present world,

84
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,320
I think a lot of it is because God just,

85
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,880
he's not the cause of it, but it's the world,

86
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,400
you'll have tribulation.

87
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,240
Yeah.

88
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,720
It brings us to a place of surrender

89
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,440
and just saying, you know what, it's not me.

90
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,280
That's it.

91
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,120
Him.

92
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Well, if you're a true leader,

93
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,280
you don't have a reputation, you represent Jesus.

94
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,120
Yeah.

95
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,840
Jesus is gonna defend himself.

96
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,240
He doesn't need us to defend him.

97
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,160
We just have to keep doing what we're doing.

98
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,400
It doesn't really matter.

99
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,400
And the cool part is because you're called to this place,

100
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,960
you get to see people encounter God.

101
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,160
Yeah, it's fun.

102
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,720
You get to see somebody for the first time in their life,

103
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,160
realize through a prophetic word or through a healing

104
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,400
or through deliverance, you get to see that, right?

105
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,440
It's fun.

106
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,560
Let me just tell you what happened in Fort Myers.

107
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,560
Sure.

108
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,400
So because people have neglected tongues,

109
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,440
the Lord said to me, I want you to teach on what I seek.

110
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,160
So my title was, What Does God Seek?

111
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,040
Without preaching the whole thing, God seeks worshipers.

112
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,240
Yes.

113
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,920
Two things, God seeks worshipers and he seeks intercessors.

114
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,920
Those are the things that attract his attention.

115
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,480
So in the worshipers, as he seeks worshipers,

116
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,200
the spirit said, it wants you to talk to them

117
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,960
about singing in tongues, singing and making melody

118
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,680
in their heart to me, singing in tongues corporately

119
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,920
and in their own private prayer time.

120
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,760
So at the very end of the service,

121
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,440
we all went into singing in tongues.

122
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,200
And I don't know how many of you that are on this broadcast

123
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,360
or who are listening to the replay, how old you are,

124
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,320
how long you've been in the things of God,

125
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,600
but back in the day, I call it,

126
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,440
we used to sing in tongues for 10 minutes, 15 minutes.

127
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,960
And as we would sing in tongues,

128
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,240
you could feel the presence of Jesus and angels.

129
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,920
And sometimes you could even hear the angels singing

130
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,720
with us.

131
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,080
And so we've neglected that and we've gotten away from that.

132
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,800
But most of our worship has been songs, English,

133
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,840
you know, just songs that are in our language.

134
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:45,200
And so the Lord wanted me to stir up the singing in tongues

135
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,320
in this particular church who was already pretty powerful

136
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,560
and moving in the spirit,

137
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,040
but he just wanted to take them to another level.

138
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,640
And so we all began to sing and worship in tongues,

139
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,040
no English, sometimes we say, we love you, Father,

140
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,360
we glorify your holy name.

141
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,400
I would call out since I was the leader,

142
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,720
I'd call out the names of God.

143
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,280
And then the inside of me, I said to the Lord,

144
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,480
cause you know how you can be singing in tongues

145
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,280
and talking in tongues, you can still think

146
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,240
and talking to God at the same time, right?

147
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,520
So I said to God, while I was leading them, I said,

148
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,280
what about the people here that are not filled

149
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:20,400
with the Holy Spirit?

150
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,000
And the Spirit of God said to me,

151
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,520
I'm gonna reach them in their seats.

152
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,120
So we just kept singing in the Spirit, singing in the Spirit

153
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,640
and then we went ahead and we prayed the prayer

154
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,560
of intercession because it was the day before

155
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,240
the election results were to come out.

156
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,160
And so at the very end of the service, I turned it over

157
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,640
to the pastor, he got up and he said,

158
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,720
how many of you never spoken tongues before today

159
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,000
was the first time?

160
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,280
We had like, oh, we had 10 people raise their hands.

161
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:52,680
Come on.

162
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,520
They, that while we were all singing in the Spirit,

163
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,800
singing in tongues, which is the same thing,

164
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,080
they were filled with the Holy Spirit right in their seat.

165
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,840
So yes, it's fun to see manifestations,

166
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,760
it's fun to see God work,

167
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,920
it's fun to just step back and just let the Holy Ghost

168
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,760
do what the Holy Ghost wants to do.

169
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,400
And I believe that's what the Holy Ghost wants to do.

170
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,280
The Bible says in Acts 10, 44,

171
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,840
while Peter yet spake the word,

172
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,960
the Holy Ghost fell on all of them that believe.

173
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,920
And I think what the Lord is,

174
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,960
I think we're right at the edge of being ready

175
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,720
for the Holy Spirit to be poured out,

176
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,360
but he's waiting on us.

177
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Yeah.

178
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,040
That's right.

179
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,040
We're right at the edge.

180
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,920
And if we, as we continue to create an atmosphere

181
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,880
for God to work,

182
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,360
I believe we're gonna see the manifestations

183
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,880
that we desire to see.

184
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,040
And the thing I'm believing God for

185
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,800
is for the manifestation of the power gifts,

186
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,880
like in the days of Catherine Coleman.

187
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:50,720
Yeah.

188
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,680
Gifts of healing, gifts of faith,

189
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,760
where nobody's faith is involved,

190
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,240
where it's just the Holy Spirit falls

191
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,240
and he begins to heal people,

192
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,920
not by anybody laying hands up,

193
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,680
not by might, not by just by the Spirit.

194
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,800
So I think we're right at the edge.

195
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:08,800
Come on.

196
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Let's let that happen,

197
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,960
because that's one of my things is like,

198
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,760
Lord, I wanna be like Peter.

199
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,400
I just wanna walk by somebody.

200
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,480
Like then you don't have to worry,

201
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,480
like no pressure, no nothing.

202
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,080
It's just like, wouldn't that be so cool?

203
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,920
People would just walk by people

204
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,160
and they would just radically get healed

205
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,720
just because somebody was obedient to walk by.

206
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,320
That's my heart.

207
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,160
That's like, that's what we need

208
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,920
because then it's just Jesus.

209
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,080
It's just Jesus because you're not on a platform.

210
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,240
You're just doing your,

211
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,480
and you won't even know.

212
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,640
That's even the best.

213
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,480
Like you don't even have to know.

214
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,760
Just walking by people and just people are,

215
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,320
you know, all of a sudden getting healed left and right.

216
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,560
Then come on, that's exactly, that's what I,

217
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:55,960
but also Catherine Coleman, to your point,

218
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,520
she also, she was so in love with Holy Spirit.

219
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,240
She carried that love thing.

220
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,040
She was like Bob Jones in some ways

221
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,960
because she was all about the love.

222
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,520
She was all about the love of God and the love of people.

223
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,480
And, but mostly about the love of Holy Spirit.

224
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,920
And I think that's the other thing that people,

225
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,920
people want to know what's the secret.

226
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,440
You gotta fall in love.

227
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:23,760
You have to fall in love.

228
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,240
You have to fall in love with Jesus.

229
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,000
You have to fall in love.

230
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,200
You have to be so, such a, I'll coin the phrase,

231
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,280
a smitten kitten.

232
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,280
Yeah, I think for sure.

233
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,240
And Catherine Coleman, she knew how to create an atmosphere

234
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,680
that opened up the door for God to work.

235
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:44,040
When everyone's attention was on him and him alone,

236
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,440
that's when the Holy Spirit responded.

237
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,520
And I heard that sometimes it would take hours

238
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,560
for the gifts to begin to operate.

239
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:56,560
So I think people are impatient today.

240
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:58,280
That triggered that thought.

241
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,080
People are just impatient.

242
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,640
They want one hour services.

243
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,960
They want this, everything really quick.

244
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,800
And you know what?

245
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,920
The Holy Spirit love is what?

246
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,760
Patient.

247
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,760
And so I think as we wait on the Lord

248
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,800
and create an atmosphere for him to work,

249
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,160
that's when he's gonna respond.

250
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,160
He seeks to, he seeks those that'll worship him

251
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,040
and that's when he's gonna respond.

252
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,120
When all our attention is on him.

253
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,680
So I do wanna ask you a question

254
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:29,400
because you were saying that God is looking for worshipers,

255
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,000
but does that mean that everybody has to be up on the stage?

256
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,800
Well, it's okay.

257
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,680
And that's the thing I've been teaching,

258
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:39,280
like speaking to yourself,

259
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,720
songs and hymns and spiritual songs,

260
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,720
singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

261
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,560
So it's continual prayer.

262
00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:52,240
Like it's a practice.

263
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,720
It's a practice of continual prayer.

264
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,840
Not just when you're in church, right?

265
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,440
Not when you're in a prayer meeting,

266
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,920
but you can have a continual song going on

267
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,560
and on and on in your heart.

268
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:08,560
Hour after hour, after hour, after hour.

269
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:10,840
And then what happens is you become a fragrance

270
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,920
of Jesus everywhere you go.

271
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,920
You're talking about the shadow passing for chariots.

272
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,080
You're talking about the shadow passing for chariots

273
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,920
of the presence of God.

274
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,920
And as we spend time with them

275
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,520
in the secret place of our heart

276
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,200
where nobody knows what we're doing,

277
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,800
because it's in our hearts, us and him, us and him,

278
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,640
us and him.

279
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,640
The glory just keeps rising and rising and rising

280
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,480
and we become carriers.

281
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,080
And that's when our shadows can pass

282
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,000
and people can be healed.

283
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,400
That's it, come on.

284
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,120
And the thing about the fragrance,

285
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,560
people sometimes don't understand that pure worship,

286
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:49,880
because you can see that it says it in Song of Songs,

287
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,440
but it's because I had a vision with this,

288
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,760
like this coming off as I was worshiping.

289
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,480
And Jesus said that that was worship.

290
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,400
Absolutely, he said that was pure worship.

291
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,760
And sometimes we don't understand,

292
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,720
like when we're broken, when we're hurting,

293
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,200
it's like we don't even know what to do.

294
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,800
Worship, that's it.

295
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,720
If you can just go in and worship,

296
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,880
even if it hurts to worship, worship is the breaker.

297
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,920
Sometimes when we don't know what else to do,

298
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,560
we just worship.

299
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:21,400
Yeah.

300
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,360
Agreed.

301
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,280
I was in a service one time,

302
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,160
I was speaking in a church in Illinois,

303
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,520
and this is coming to me as you were talking.

304
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,520
And we were worshiping God in tongues

305
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,120
and we were just abiding in his presence

306
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,520
and waiting on him.

307
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,480
And there came into the room a fragrance.

308
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,480
And it smelled like the sweetest rose flower

309
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,400
you could ever smell in your life.

310
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,200
Jesus the Rose of Sharon.

311
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,320
Yeah, yeah.

312
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,320
And it came into that fragrance, came into the room.

313
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,680
He was there.

314
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:05,160
We didn't see him.

315
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,240
Yeah.

316
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,320
We had a physical manifestation

317
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,520
of his fragrance in our midst.

318
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,560
Well, they say that when Catherine Coleman

319
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:18,240
actually passed away that her entire hospital room

320
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,480
started to smell like roses.

321
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,320
I love that.

322
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,160
Yeah.

323
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,560
She was crushed.

324
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:28,560
That anointing that she operated in, she surrendered all.

325
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,560
She totally gave her life to him.

326
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,320
And so when he came to get her,

327
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,680
he left his signature fragrance.

328
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:43,680
Yeah, that's the fragrance.

329
00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:45,520
Good for him and good for her.

330
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,760
So, and I think that when you said that about the roses

331
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,720
is like we can smell things in the supernatural.

332
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,920
Supernatural smell is available to supernatural taste,

333
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,240
supernatural hearing, supernatural seeing,

334
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,720
all the five senses.

335
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,840
But how do we get there?

336
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,360
It's gonna be through prayer.

337
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,040
It's gonna be through intercession.

338
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,240
It's gonna be into that intimacy

339
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,040
because prayer and intercession creates intimacy.

340
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:13,880
Yes.

341
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:14,720
Right?

342
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:15,880
Yes.

343
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,920
So, okay.

344
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,800
But one of the things that you did have

345
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,840
is you had that dream.

346
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,480
Didn't you have a dream about-

347
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,480
Yeah, I had a dream.

348
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:24,560
Do you want me to share it?

349
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,120
I do because I think it's really good.

350
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,160
Well, this, the dream happened.

351
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,560
I received the dream last month,

352
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,080
about two and a half weeks ago.

353
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,960
Really quickly, I'll just read it quickly.

354
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,760
I dreamed I was a guest speaker in a church.

355
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,360
I didn't need any notes for what needed to be said

356
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,480
was already within my heart.

357
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,720
He put his words in my mouth to speak

358
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,000
and therefore I spoke with wisdom and revelation.

359
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,680
Without a microphone, I preached the word of the Lord

360
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,840
for the people from the front of the church

361
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,080
to the back of the church.

362
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,720
During the preaching,

363
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,400
I had a vision of a great ship.

364
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,400
I saw the ship going straight

365
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,080
and it was moving fast and furious,

366
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,520
straight ahead on the water.

367
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,960
Then I saw the ship suddenly turning.

368
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,440
That was a key word, suddenly.

369
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,600
The ship turned sharply to the right.

370
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,360
I said to the people, the ship is turning,

371
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,200
but we must continue to pray into it.

372
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,320
Not a time to stop praying.

373
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,760
See, in other words, I think,

374
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,360
I know the Spirit of God was saying,

375
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,800
we've been praying year after year after year after year

376
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,400
after year and the ship is beginning to turn.

377
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,920
Well, it's not a time for us to go, our prayers work.

378
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,400
That's the time to relax.

379
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,320
No, I'm saying it's not a time to stop praying.

380
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,000
We are not finished.

381
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,240
The ship is turning.

382
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,480
I could see the ship turning

383
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,920
and the church was at the wheel of the ship.

384
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,600
Ooh, that's huge.

385
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,440
Causing the ship to turn.

386
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,280
Come on.

387
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,600
It was a sharp turn to the right.

388
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,840
I then said, we don't know how to pray,

389
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,760
so let's all begin to pray in the Holy Ghost.

390
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,760
And we all began to pray in the Spirit.

391
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,720
Pray with groanings, words not understood by the human mind.

392
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,000
And we prayed in the Holy Ghost

393
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,640
and we prayed in the Holy Ghost.

394
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,840
As I walked through the crowd,

395
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,280
people were entering in and praying in the Holy Ghost.

396
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,560
The people in the front kept praying

397
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,120
and the people in the back fizzled out

398
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,640
because they did not understand the seriousness

399
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,320
of the prayer assignment.

400
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,320
They did not understand that when they pray in tongues,

401
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,120
pray in the Holy Ghost,

402
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,560
they're praying out the mind, the will,

403
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,200
and the purpose of God as the ship is turning.

404
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,520
But then I wrote this down as I was waking up.

405
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,240
There is a remnant and the remnant stayed with it

406
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,960
and they stayed true and prayed as the Spirit

407
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,240
gave them utterance and then I woke up.

408
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,800
Such a good dream.

409
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,280
That's such a, it's such a good and powerful dream

410
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,000
because I think it was Kathy Walters who said

411
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,200
that she saw a ship that was heading towards America.

412
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,800
And she said, she did, she said,

413
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,480
I saw, I see this ship that's heading towards America

414
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,440
and it's not good and we have to pray

415
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,000
to turn the ship around.

416
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,080
I'm gonna have to see if I can find that

417
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:48,080
because people, yes, we got what we wanted.

418
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,920
We finally have a president who recognizes God,

419
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,960
who has actually created a faith office

420
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,840
that there is actually an office in the White House

421
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,400
for the first time of faith

422
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,240
that people are gonna be praying,

423
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,960
that people are gonna be welcome to come and pray.

424
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,240
That's huge.

425
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,320
However, we still have to pray because it's not done yet.

426
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,040
And we also have to pray because Lord,

427
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,840
we wanna keep him a David.

428
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,640
We don't want him to turn into a Saul.

429
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,160
We wanna keep President Trump on the straight and narrow

430
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,360
where he's seeking after the heart of the father.

431
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:25,320
We wanna have people who are beside him

432
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,960
who are speaking into his life and are speaking

433
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,160
for the truth about what God is saying,

434
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,160
not what man is saying.

435
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,880
I think that that's so, so, so key.

436
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,080
And we really, because you said that the church

437
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,480
was at the helm, that's so powerful

438
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,320
because we've taken our rightful place

439
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,200
because we were never supposed to be in the back of the boat.

440
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,600
We were always supposed to be steering.

441
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,000
Yes.

442
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,040
That's so good.

443
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,280
That's such an encouraging,

444
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,280
that's a really encouraging dream,

445
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,320
but it's also, it is a warning dream too.

446
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,160
Yes.

447
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,600
I personally, and I feel like I am a carrier.

448
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,600
There's a part that there's a measure of what I carry.

449
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,760
It's the gift of God.

450
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:17,280
I carry a measure of the attitude of God

451
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,040
and it's imparted wherever I go.

452
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,080
I refuse to quit.

453
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,120
I refuse to stop.

454
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:28,000
I refuse to give up.

455
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000
We are going to keep on doing what God has called us to do.

456
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,560
I believe that the spirit of prayer

457
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:36,920
is rising in the churches.

458
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,320
We have several churches that are ready to go,

459
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,840
ready to pray, entering in.

460
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,840
And I'm telling you, the best is yet to come on.

461
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,160
No, it's a Christian cliche,

462
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,240
but Kenneth E. Hagen in one of the visions

463
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,560
that he had of Jesus,

464
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,560
Jesus told him there is coming another major move of God

465
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,520
before I come and take my people.

466
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,360
That's right.

467
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:06,240
I believe that those of us who are over 50,

468
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,040
that we are not to retire.

469
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,800
We are to refire.

470
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,280
We're not gonna go out.

471
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,360
We're not gonna stop doing what we're called

472
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:16,160
to continue to mentor the next generation,

473
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,200
continue to do the work that God has called us to do

474
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,600
because I do believe that the best is yet to come.

475
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,720
I do agree with that.

476
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,160
I agree with that wholeheartedly

477
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,880
and that's one of the things, you know,

478
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,360
we have been contending for the best

479
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:34,480
that America is gonna be great again,

480
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,000
that our health is gonna be,

481
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,520
our food is gonna be good.

482
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,600
And these are the things that are going to encourage

483
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,360
because people have had this very, how do I put it?

484
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:48,000
They've had this attitude about prayer.

485
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,480
I once said to a person, I said, yeah, no.

486
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,960
And this was, you know, these are Christians.

487
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:53,960
Yeah, these are Christians.

488
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,160
And I'm like, well, we can pray.

489
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,200
And they're like, well, yeah, we can do that.

490
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,520
I'm like, do you not understand how powerful you're,

491
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,760
see, that's the problem.

492
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,120
They don't, that's why we can't quit.

493
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:05,680
They don't know.

494
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,560
And I always knew, you know,

495
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,840
I'm not gonna have a mega ministry

496
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,760
because my voice is not going to the seeker friendly

497
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,000
or to the masses.

498
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,720
I have a message to the remnant.

499
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,760
I have a message to those that have stood in the gap,

500
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,040
put up their heads.

501
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,920
I have a message to those who wanna learn how to pray

502
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,760
and be men and women of prayer.

503
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,440
It doesn't matter.

504
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,320
You just have to obey God,

505
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,360
fulfill what is called you to do and just do the assignment.

506
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:38,920
And we will never know the impact that we had on this earth

507
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,880
till we stand before God and give him a call for our lives.

508
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,320
And I don't live for this world.

509
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,160
I don't.

510
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,760
I live in the light of eternity.

511
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,760
And when you see these near death experiences

512
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,480
of these people going to heaven and coming back,

513
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,480
I go, oh my God, that heaven is for real.

514
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,480
Well, I live in the light of eternity.

515
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,160
And when you stand before Jesus,

516
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,880
I don't wanna stand before a stranger.

517
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,640
That's it, come on.

518
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,400
I wanna know him now.

519
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,240
Yes.

520
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,320
I wanna be familiar with him now.

521
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,480
I want to understand the wonders of this person now.

522
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,760
And on that path, it's like the light of dawn.

523
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,040
It's supposed to grow brighter and brighter and brighter.

524
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,880
On that path, you're gonna have to let go of things.

525
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,040
I don't know who I'm talking to.

526
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,880
You're gonna have to let go of things.

527
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,560
Your relationships are gonna drop off.

528
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,840
Things, habits are gonna drop off.

529
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,120
Things are just gonna, you're gonna have to do things

530
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:35,800
you feel uncomfortable doing.

531
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,440
You're just gonna have to do it.

532
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,520
Because if you're gonna continue to follow him

533
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,600
and his purposes, you've just got to let go of some things.

534
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,720
And also pick up your cross.

535
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,560
Yeah.

536
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,040
And follow him.

537
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,520
Yeah, that's so good.

538
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,000
And one of the things that I really believe

539
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,920
that people have to understand is that there is a book

540
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,760
that's written about each and every one of us in heaven.

541
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,280
And we're gonna have to sit with Jesus when we go home.

542
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,120
We're gonna sit with him at that book.

543
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:08,720
And he's gonna say, okay, this is what I had planned for you,

544
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,640
but this is what you decided to do.

545
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,680
And this is what I had planned for you.

546
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,520
But you decided to do this.

547
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,320
And I'm like, I don't wanna be that person

548
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,720
who sits with Jesus.

549
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,000
I want him to say, and he did that, and he did that,

550
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,240
and he did that, and he did.

551
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,000
Like with all the things

552
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,840
and following the plans and the purposes.

553
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,480
So Kevin's and I who had a near death experience,

554
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,640
he actually wakes up every day and he says,

555
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,160
Lord, open my book, let it speak

556
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,440
so that I can walk out the plans and purposes

557
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,440
you have written for me.

558
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,720
That's really good.

559
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,080
I was in a conference this past week in Sarasota

560
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,480
with Keith Moore, and he made a statement,

561
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,600
which I thought was very good.

562
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,600
He said, greatest danger to God's plan is your plan.

563
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:55,520
Boom, you're gonna get a boom for that.

564
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,360
You're gonna get a boom for that.

565
00:23:56,360 --> 00:23:57,520
Where's the kaboom?

566
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,920
There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom.

567
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:15,200
That's good.

568
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,120
But I mean, like that's the thing.

569
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:18,800
We don't want our plans.

570
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,360
If we knew our plans, like that, they're a randy, randy cat.

571
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,360
In his book, he wrote a book called Heaven Stormed.

572
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:28,560
If you don't have it, get it.

573
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,160
It's so good because he talks about

574
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,200
what's coming in the end times.

575
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,760
So he talks about that.

576
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,760
And I will tell you, he said that everything that he saw

577
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,760
and how Jesus told him that this part of your life

578
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,320
where you thought I wasn't there, I was right there.

579
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,520
Where you thought that this was gonna happen,

580
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,360
I had this prepared for you.

581
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:53,800
And it just was like, oh my gosh, like he has it all.

582
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:54,840
It's all planned.

583
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:55,800
Everything's planned.

584
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,480
And we're actually planned to win and succeed.

585
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,800
But the problem is we get in our own way,

586
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,160
which is you can see throughout the Bible, people did that.

587
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,680
So it's like, we now have Holy Spirit.

588
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,560
So the Holy Spirit can guide us into all the places

589
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,880
and spaces that we're supposed to occupy.

590
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,720
We don't have to worry about where,

591
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,840
like one of the things I went to one of your meetings

592
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,400
and I remember the Lord said,

593
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,280
he said the things I've called you to do,

594
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,680
nobody else can do.

595
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,720
He says, they were created for you to do.

596
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,320
And the things that I created other people to do,

597
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,000
you can't do because I created it for them.

598
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,640
He says, so you do what I created you to do

599
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,760
and let them do what they're supposed to do.

600
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,400
That was it.

601
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,680
Yeah, that was it.

602
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,680
And when you hear that, you're like,

603
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,160
oh, I don't even have to worry about it.

604
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,440
Because that's the thing is that we've been told

605
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,760
by so many, like, if you look through social media,

606
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,400
it's like, oh, they're gonna take this from you

607
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,280
and they're gonna say, no, nobody can take anything from you

608
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,040
but you can let it go and then somebody can pick it up.

609
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,680
But it's because you dropped it.

610
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,480
Don't drop the ball, you have the ball, keep running.

611
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:02,960
Yeah, keep running your race.

612
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,400
Keep running your race.

613
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,920
Okay, so let's talk about your new book.

614
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,880
I wanna put up your new books because this book is really,

615
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,360
it's a first of all, the cover is beautiful.

616
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:16,200
Look at that.

617
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,240
So this book is called, Contend.

618
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,080
Contend.

619
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,160
So what is it that you want?

620
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,720
Because it says it's stored in the hearts

621
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,880
and destinies of our children because you're a mama.

622
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:31,760
Yeah.

623
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,240
And your heart is to pray for your children.

624
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,400
Yeah, and I wanna teach others how to pray

625
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,960
for their children.

626
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,520
And there's a lot of stories in there,

627
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,160
including my own story of how I had infertility issues

628
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:48,160
and the fight that began in the hospital OR

629
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,160
when Danielle was born and she wasn't crying.

630
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,520
And that's when I learned that I was not only gonna

631
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,280
to give birth to my children in the natural,

632
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,800
but in the spirit as well.

633
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,120
And that the prayer for my children would continue

634
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:03,600
into adulthood.

635
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,360
And now the twins are 30, I thought they were 32,

636
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:10,560
but they're 33 and Jackie is 31.

637
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,720
No, she's 32, sorry.

638
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,720
But in the book, I give multiple stories

639
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,080
of the power of intercession at what it looks like.

640
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,360
It's not a minute prayer.

641
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:26,880
I talk about tongues, I talk about travail,

642
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,760
I talk about tears.

643
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,600
I give over 70 scriptures, Bible promises

644
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,080
of praying for our children,

645
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,560
about promises for our children that we can stand on.

646
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,200
And the book, at the end of each chapter,

647
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,000
there's an outline so people can use that book

648
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,600
for Bible studies.

649
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,640
That was all by design and intention.

650
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,360
There's just everything, that book to me is part

651
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,200
of a legacy that I'm leaving behind.

652
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,920
If you don't have children, you have God children.

653
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,760
You have children in your sphere of influence.

654
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:02,920
I'll call them God children.

655
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,560
I have several kids that call me God mother.

656
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,360
And I am their God mother.

657
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:09,560
I have assignments for them,

658
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,960
just like I have assignments for my own children at times.

659
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,960
So, okay, so this book can tend, I believe,

660
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,600
is something that I think every mom should have.

661
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:23,520
And dad.

662
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,760
And dad.

663
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,760
Because that's one of the things that the Hebrews

664
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,560
would do is that they would bless,

665
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,040
they would pray for their children constantly.

666
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,240
That's what they would do.

667
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,040
And somehow that got lost, that got lost in the shuffle.

668
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,840
Yeah, because people don't know how to pray.

669
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,760
I pray for my, it's a one minute prayer.

670
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,920
No, it's contending for the hearts and destiny.

671
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,800
There's war over the hearts and destinies of our children.

672
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,000
Laying one hand on them, one hand on God,

673
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
pulling them out of the darkness.

674
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:55,840
Yes.

675
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,520
Intending for them, taking authority over the enemy,

676
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,760
speaking the word of God, releasing Psalms 91,

677
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,920
angelic activity over them.

678
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,280
So there's, the book really clarifies the art

679
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,880
of intercession, but it's specifically for praying

680
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,560
for our children, our grandchildren, our nieces,

681
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:15,400
our nephews.

682
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,160
And the children to come.

683
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,800
The children to come.

684
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,160
That's right, because he is after generations.

685
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,880
He's a generational God.

686
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:25,960
Yes.

687
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,320
Somehow, somewhere in the midst of things,

688
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,880
a lot of generations kind of, they lost track of that.

689
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,040
Yeah, so that's, okay, let's look up,

690
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,280
let's just see this book again.

691
