00:00:13.289 --> 00:00:16.370
people doesn't return void it produces results

00:00:16.370 --> 00:00:32.429
praise god you know this clock says 1201 yeah

00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:37.200
praise you jesus well I'm not going to go long

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.920
this afternoon because we are going to have a

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.939
candle service, which I've never seen anyone

00:00:42.939 --> 00:00:45.920
do before, so I'm looking forward. But I want

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.020
to introduce another one of my books. This is

00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:55.000
Encountering God Through Prayer. This book takes

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.340
the reader from the very beginnings of how to

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:03.259
pray, where do I begin, begin with 15 minutes.

00:01:03.689 --> 00:01:07.250
Find a quiet spot in your house. When I started

00:01:07.250 --> 00:01:10.590
learning how to pray, I went into a closet because

00:01:10.819 --> 00:01:13.599
it just sealed out all the distractions. But

00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.500
I take the reader from the very beginning, talk

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:18.599
about the heart of the Father, and take the reader

00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.000
right into contemplative prayer. And I just want

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:27.810
you to have that. Praise you, Jesus. Well, we're

00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:33.590
going to talk about it's time to arise. Amen.

00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:43.170
Thank you, Lord. Oh, my scripture. Amplified.

00:01:43.170 --> 00:01:47.599
When you guys had it in your notes, Isaiah 61

00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:53.689
through 5. Arise from the depression and prostration

00:01:53.689 --> 00:02:04.439
in which circumstances have kept you to a new

00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:09.080
life. Shine. Be radiant with the glory of the

00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.919
Lord, for your light has come, and the glory

00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.330
of the Lord has risen upon you. Then he goes

00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:18.889
on to talk about the darkness covering the earth.

00:02:19.229 --> 00:02:22.449
And then he says, kings and nations will come

00:02:22.449 --> 00:02:25.430
to your light and kings to the brightness of

00:02:25.430 --> 00:02:29.310
your rising. Lift up your eyes round about and

00:02:29.310 --> 00:02:33.590
see they're all gathering together. They come

00:02:33.590 --> 00:02:36.129
to you, your sons will come from afar and your

00:02:36.129 --> 00:02:37.909
daughters shall be carried and nursed at your

00:02:37.909 --> 00:02:40.770
arms. Then you will see and be radiant and your

00:02:40.770 --> 00:02:44.439
heart shall thrill and tremble with joy. at the

00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:48.710
glorious deliverance and be enlarged. Because

00:02:48.710 --> 00:02:51.909
the abundant wealth of the sea shall be turned

00:02:51.909 --> 00:02:54.870
to you, and nations will come with their treasures.

00:02:55.030 --> 00:02:58.030
How many of you feel like on the inside of you,

00:02:58.069 --> 00:03:01.849
you are enlarged? God has enlarged your capacity

00:03:01.849 --> 00:03:05.750
to be and to see all that he's created you to

00:03:05.750 --> 00:03:08.830
be and to see. But in this section, am I echoing?

00:03:08.969 --> 00:03:19.639
Or is that just me? You got it? Switch. Which

00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.710
one is Bruce? Thank you, Bruce. You know, these

00:03:23.710 --> 00:03:25.669
media guys, they need a little bit of attention

00:03:25.669 --> 00:03:29.490
because when you send 16 pages of notes with

00:03:29.490 --> 00:03:32.110
a bunch of scriptures, you know, you've got to

00:03:32.110 --> 00:03:36.120
acknowledge them, right? It's not like, you know,

00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.139
here's five scriptures, put them up, and we may

00:03:39.139 --> 00:03:43.210
or may not use them, right? So I just appreciate

00:03:43.210 --> 00:03:47.569
Bruce and the media team. But I feel like now

00:03:47.569 --> 00:03:50.009
that we've been enlarged, we've opened up our

00:03:50.009 --> 00:03:52.189
hearts, God has some things he wants to impart.

00:03:52.870 --> 00:03:57.780
So let's talk about arising into our purpose

00:03:57.780 --> 00:04:01.400
so that we can be all we are created to be. Define

00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.319
arise. The literal meaning means to stand up

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.240
or get up from lying or sitting. To begin or

00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.000
happen. Something starts or comes into existence.

00:04:15.020 --> 00:04:18.839
To come forth or appear, figuratively, especially

00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.060
in Scripture, it means to rise to a new level,

00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:27.220
purpose, or calling. In short, it means to rise

00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:34.639
up physically, spiritually, or in action. Now,

00:04:34.699 --> 00:04:37.439
I'm going to skip over a lot of things because

00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:39.540
I don't really want to go that long this afternoon.

00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:43.490
But in order... This is what the Spirit of God

00:04:43.490 --> 00:04:45.209
said to me over here. This is why I'm changing

00:04:45.209 --> 00:04:48.810
things up a little bit. In order for us to arise

00:04:48.810 --> 00:04:54.060
and reach our full potential, we have to know

00:04:54.060 --> 00:05:00.170
that our identity is in Him and that we can do

00:05:00.170 --> 00:05:05.329
all things through Christ who strengthens us.

00:05:05.850 --> 00:05:10.730
We need to know that we truly are the head and

00:05:10.730 --> 00:05:14.550
not the tail. We are above only and not beneath.

00:05:14.810 --> 00:05:17.089
And I wasn't planning on going this way, but

00:05:17.089 --> 00:05:19.449
we are. But I have a little mini book I would

00:05:19.449 --> 00:05:23.300
encourage all of you to get. This little in -hymn

00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:26.579
book by Kenneth E. Hagin has, I don't know, over

00:05:26.579 --> 00:05:31.879
130 scriptures of who you are in Christ. When

00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.439
you know who you are in Christ, you will know

00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.459
what you were created to be and created to do.

00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.120
And like we said earlier, but every one of us

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.560
has a different calling and a different function,

00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.819
and there's different times and there's different

00:05:45.819 --> 00:05:51.680
seasons. Now, I had a wake -up call. And recently,

00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.600
I guess maybe four years ago, about, I had been

00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.360
having issues with some arrhythmia things. It's

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.759
no longer, thank God, because I made some lifestyle

00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.220
changes. Sometimes we need to make lifestyle

00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:09.360
changes. And my heart rate went up. I think it

00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:15.420
was over 230 beats. It was so fast. And, you

00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:17.579
know, it was the whole thing. The kids, they

00:06:17.579 --> 00:06:22.000
were funny. They piled mommy in the car. You

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.819
know, whatever you sow, you reap eventually with

00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:28.079
these kids. They piled mommy in the car, and

00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.500
Jacqueline's driving like a lunatic straight

00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:33.579
to the hospital. The other two kids are behind

00:06:33.579 --> 00:06:36.339
us in their car. We're all caravanting to the

00:06:36.339 --> 00:06:38.939
hospital. We get to the hospital. My son -in

00:06:38.939 --> 00:06:40.959
-law's sitting next to me, and my heart rate

00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.939
was so high that it was completely exhausting,

00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:49.810
as you can imagine. It was going on and on and

00:06:49.810 --> 00:06:51.730
on for several, you know, I don't know how many

00:06:51.730 --> 00:06:53.870
minutes. It ended up actually, I think, being

00:06:53.870 --> 00:06:58.970
about an hour. So anyway, they get me into the

00:06:58.970 --> 00:07:01.370
emergency room. They're all fighting for me because

00:07:01.370 --> 00:07:03.110
you know how it is. They're fighting for me.

00:07:03.149 --> 00:07:04.850
My mother's having, you know, they thought a

00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:07.689
heart attack. You got to get her in there. And

00:07:07.689 --> 00:07:10.470
the kids are yelling and fighting for me. And

00:07:10.470 --> 00:07:13.850
so they get me in there and they hook me up to.

00:07:14.389 --> 00:07:16.829
All those leads, you know, all over your body

00:07:16.829 --> 00:07:32.769
and your heart, your legs, all over. And I'm

00:07:32.769 --> 00:07:42.060
laying there, and as God is my witness, my daughter

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:45.199
was sitting over here to the right. The guy is

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.040
hooking me up. He's standing there. You could

00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.399
see, you know, I guess you could see the rhythm

00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:59.050
on the EKG. And all of a sudden, I came up out

00:07:59.050 --> 00:08:03.060
of my body. You know, the Bible says, let it

00:08:03.060 --> 00:08:09.529
be the hidden man of the heart. You are a spirit.

00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:18.689
You have a soul. You live in a body. That's why

00:08:18.689 --> 00:08:22.050
when the Bible says, I will pray with the spirit,

00:08:22.269 --> 00:08:27.370
I will pray with the understanding also. Who's

00:08:27.370 --> 00:08:32.470
the one that does the praying? I. My spirit by

00:08:32.470 --> 00:08:36.529
the Holy Spirit within me. You are a spirit.

00:08:37.049 --> 00:08:43.429
I went up out of my body. And Jacqueline, I could

00:08:43.429 --> 00:08:45.789
see, even though I was facing this way, Jacqueline

00:08:45.789 --> 00:08:51.070
was to my right. and the whatever he was nowadays,

00:08:51.330 --> 00:08:54.490
you don't know what they are, PAs, APs, nurses,

00:08:54.610 --> 00:08:57.549
you know, God help us. He was standing there,

00:08:57.629 --> 00:09:01.289
nothing changed on the EKG because they didn't

00:09:01.289 --> 00:09:07.470
know that I went up out of my body. And I went

00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:11.659
up out of my body, and I've always been Margie.

00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.059
You know, we're always us, right? But when you

00:09:15.059 --> 00:09:19.049
have warfare, and you got stuff going on in your

00:09:19.049 --> 00:09:22.009
soul, and you got to forgive people, and you're

00:09:22.009 --> 00:09:24.450
mad at this one, and you're trying to get through

00:09:24.450 --> 00:09:27.190
a season that you're in, sometimes you forget

00:09:27.190 --> 00:09:31.649
who you are. And so when I went up out on my

00:09:31.649 --> 00:09:38.769
body, I looked at my real self, and I saw how

00:09:38.990 --> 00:09:44.759
strong I am. I saw, because see, the devil will

00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.929
try to tell you you're not strong. The devil

00:09:47.929 --> 00:09:50.590
will try to fill your mind with all kinds of

00:09:50.590 --> 00:09:53.429
thoughts and images, and you've got this thing

00:09:53.429 --> 00:09:56.149
in your mind, and that's you think who you are.

00:09:56.470 --> 00:09:58.490
Well, let me just tell you, you are not your

00:09:58.490 --> 00:10:02.809
addiction. You are not that eating disorder.

00:10:03.529 --> 00:10:08.519
You are not the weight that you are. You are

00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.799
what you are by the grace of God, but the real

00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.409
you is the hidden man of the heart. And he that

00:10:15.409 --> 00:10:19.429
is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him.

00:10:19.629 --> 00:10:23.889
So we are in Christ. And when I saw myself, I

00:10:23.889 --> 00:10:30.049
saw how strong I was. I saw how powerful I was.

00:10:30.350 --> 00:10:35.950
I saw how unstoppable I was. And I'm telling

00:10:35.950 --> 00:10:42.320
you, that changed my life. Now, yes, I went back

00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:47.200
into my body. Obviously, I'm still here. And

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.080
then I didn't tell the kids until the next day.

00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.220
And I said to them, I want to tell you guys something.

00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:53.779
Because I ended up staying in the hospital overnight.

00:10:53.899 --> 00:10:55.620
They had to do something to shoot me up to get

00:10:55.620 --> 00:10:57.259
my heart rate to go down, so on and so forth.

00:10:58.059 --> 00:11:00.080
So I said to the kids when I came home from the

00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.600
hospital, I said, I have something to tell you.

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.539
And they go, yeah. I go, I just want you to listen.

00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:11.460
I said, I didn't die. I said, but I told them

00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:15.230
what happened. And I told them. How it was such

00:11:15.230 --> 00:11:21.769
a revelation to really see the real you. My book

00:11:21.769 --> 00:11:24.350
Contend, Stewarding the Hearts and Destinies

00:11:24.350 --> 00:11:26.909
of Our Children Through Prayer, is one of my

00:11:26.909 --> 00:11:30.990
most favorite projects thus far. In this book,

00:11:31.009 --> 00:11:35.309
I teach the reader how to pray effectively for

00:11:35.309 --> 00:11:38.250
their children, their grandchildren, and the

00:11:38.250 --> 00:11:41.009
rising generations that are in the earth today.

00:11:41.509 --> 00:11:44.750
Make no mistake about it. There is war over the

00:11:44.750 --> 00:11:47.629
hearts and the destinies of our children. And

00:11:47.629 --> 00:11:51.669
this book will equip you as to how to pray effectively

00:11:51.669 --> 00:11:55.139
for those young people. In this book, I teach

00:11:55.139 --> 00:11:57.700
you about the power and the purpose of praying

00:11:57.700 --> 00:12:01.139
in tongues. I show you what a prayer alert looks

00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:04.519
like. There are sample prayers. Not only that,

00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:07.840
there are outlines at the end of each chapter.

00:12:08.059 --> 00:12:11.039
So if you run a Bible study, you can use this

00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.639
book as a springboard to teach others how to

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.759
pray for their children. Go to my website at

00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:21.500
margieflorent .org and pick up your own copy.

00:12:26.350 --> 00:12:28.529
And so I feel like, I felt like the Lord wanted

00:12:28.529 --> 00:12:31.570
me to bypass some things and really speak to

00:12:31.570 --> 00:12:33.750
you first before we get into some other things

00:12:33.750 --> 00:12:37.990
about your identity in Christ. Because if you

00:12:37.990 --> 00:12:40.470
don't see who you are and what you're capable

00:12:40.470 --> 00:12:43.950
of doing, you'll never rise to that place and

00:12:43.950 --> 00:12:46.870
to that occasion. You'll stay on a low level.

00:12:47.250 --> 00:12:51.889
But God wants you, oh yeah, to arise. Duh, that's

00:12:51.889 --> 00:12:54.490
the name of the conference. He wants us to arise

00:12:54.490 --> 00:12:59.009
and he wants us to be everything he has called

00:12:59.009 --> 00:13:01.590
us to be and called us to do. That's why you

00:13:01.590 --> 00:13:05.320
can't say that you can't do it. Because if God

00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:08.639
put a dream and a vision in your heart, you can

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.919
do it. Now, yes, there may be like a learning

00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.840
curve and you got to learn things. When I first

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:17.259
started doing media work and working with cameras,

00:13:17.460 --> 00:13:20.980
I had to learn how to do it. Did you do it? I

00:13:20.980 --> 00:13:23.639
did it, but let me tell you, I did it afraid.

00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.139
Because I've been preaching, I've been doing

00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:29.379
a lot of things, but when you work you and you

00:13:29.379 --> 00:13:31.960
and a camera, and there isn't anybody out, you

00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.580
know people are behind the camera, but when it's

00:13:34.580 --> 00:13:36.820
just you and a camera, it's a very different

00:13:36.820 --> 00:13:40.100
vibe in the anointing and in the whole thing.

00:13:41.059 --> 00:13:44.279
But I had to do it afraid. Do you understand

00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:48.279
me? Just because there's fear there and intimidation

00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:51.860
there or doubt doesn't mean God's not saying

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:54.820
for you to do it. You may have to do it afraid,

00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.679
and you may need to learn. I went back to Bible

00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.159
school when my kids were little, when they were

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.500
in school. I went back to Bible school, even

00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:06.120
though I'd been preaching for I don't know how

00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.620
many years, to learn how to be a better speaker.

00:14:10.779 --> 00:14:15.179
You could always sharpen your craft. Are you

00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:20.799
listening? It's never too late to grow and to

00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:23.899
be and to do. So I had to do the camera work

00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:26.519
afraid. I'd get up and nobody knew this because

00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.820
I don't tell all my secrets. I'm not telling.

00:14:29.710 --> 00:14:31.529
And you know what? I don't want the devil to

00:14:31.529 --> 00:14:34.929
get involved. Because, you know, life and death

00:14:34.929 --> 00:14:37.429
are in the power of the tongue. And so some things

00:14:37.429 --> 00:14:40.269
I just keep to myself because I'm not giving

00:14:40.269 --> 00:14:45.070
the devil any stronghold, any, you know, the

00:14:45.070 --> 00:14:51.840
hints of what's going on in my head. Because

00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:53.919
sometimes what the enemy will do is he'll take

00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:56.940
your weakness or your fear, he'll twist it up

00:14:56.940 --> 00:15:00.240
with his stuff, and it becomes a stronghold.

00:15:01.690 --> 00:15:05.639
And then you've got to deal with it, right? I

00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.279
would literally get ready to do a taping. We

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.659
did a bunch of tapings called Necessary Truths

00:15:11.659 --> 00:15:13.340
in Challenging Times. And I'm going to tell you

00:15:13.340 --> 00:15:17.159
how I got the idea. I got the idea by praying

00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:20.980
in tongues. This is so important what I'm saying

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:24.799
right now. I got the idea from praying in tongues.

00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:29.519
I spent hours and hours and hours praying in

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:31.639
tongues, praying in the Holy Ghost, praying in

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.610
the Holy Ghost. praying in the Spirit, praying

00:15:35.610 --> 00:15:38.629
in the Holy Ghost. And then one day, I started

00:15:38.629 --> 00:15:42.629
praying out necessary truths in challenging times.

00:15:42.830 --> 00:15:45.490
And I'd pray in tongues. And it would come out

00:15:45.490 --> 00:15:48.350
again. Necessary truths in challenging times.

00:15:48.690 --> 00:15:51.370
And as time went on, I don't know if it was months.

00:15:51.470 --> 00:15:54.470
I honestly can't remember. But when we started

00:15:54.470 --> 00:16:00.389
to produce, it ended up being 28 videos of what

00:16:00.389 --> 00:16:05.620
we ended up calling necessary truths in challenging

00:16:05.620 --> 00:16:10.500
times. And my friends, it was not for me. They

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:14.500
were basic teachings of, you know, the heart

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:17.419
of the Father, the baptism of the Holy Spirit,

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:22.139
wide tongues, who, you know, just necessary truth.

00:16:22.259 --> 00:16:25.519
Just why is there power in the name of Jesus?

00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.720
Things that this generation have never heard

00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:34.259
before. And the Spirit of God said, it's necessary

00:16:34.259 --> 00:16:37.279
truths and challenging times. What I want to

00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.879
emphasize to you is that I got that which I did

00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:46.039
and became, you know, manifested by praying in

00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:49.159
the Holy Ghost. It was first in the heart of

00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.320
God, and it was already in my spirit, but I had

00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.679
to pray it out. The understanding finally came

00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:00.120
to my head, and then we ended up doing it. But

00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.289
every time, You know, I was set to tape. You

00:17:04.289 --> 00:17:06.190
know, you got to pick your clothes. I had to

00:17:06.190 --> 00:17:08.690
learn about clothes. I had to learn about hair

00:17:08.690 --> 00:17:10.970
and makeup. I had to learn that there's certain

00:17:10.970 --> 00:17:13.750
clothes that the camera's not good with because

00:17:13.750 --> 00:17:16.509
it runs and it moves around. There were so many

00:17:16.509 --> 00:17:20.599
things I learned from my producer, by the way.

00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:23.119
You know what I like to always say? I like to

00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.000
always say, I hire people that are smarter than

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.220
me in areas that I don't know. How do you know

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:32.200
that's what we got to do? Because we can't do

00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.990
it all, right? But every time I had a taping

00:17:36.990 --> 00:17:42.490
and, you know, Rob was coming, we set up my living

00:17:42.490 --> 00:17:47.539
room. We made it a studio. And we just left the

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:49.599
lighting up. We left the cameras up because to

00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.579
take it down, put it down, up and down, it just

00:17:51.579 --> 00:17:56.029
was a lot. So we kept it up. And every time I

00:17:56.029 --> 00:18:00.980
had a taping, I'd be brushing my teeth. And I'd

00:18:00.980 --> 00:18:09.769
be gagging, gagging. I'd be like, how am I going

00:18:09.769 --> 00:18:13.180
to do this? But see, the Lord strengthened me.

00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.019
And if God put the vision in your heart, you

00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:23.720
can do it. But you may have to do it afraid.

00:18:26.859 --> 00:18:29.259
Sorry, Bruce. We'll bypass all those scriptures

00:18:29.259 --> 00:18:31.619
and all those notes. We're just going to move

00:18:31.619 --> 00:18:39.000
on. Amen? I just want to talk really quickly.

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:47.039
about women in the Bible who arose. And I'm going

00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:53.079
to fly through it. Mary was handpicked by God

00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:59.089
and called highly favored by his messenger. Mary

00:18:59.089 --> 00:19:01.849
was a young girl when she spoke the fearless

00:19:01.849 --> 00:19:05.210
words of faith. Behold the handmaiden of the

00:19:05.210 --> 00:19:08.329
Lord. Be it unto me according to your word. And

00:19:08.329 --> 00:19:12.130
she received the seed and the promise as it was

00:19:12.130 --> 00:19:16.930
for the whole human race. Somebody is waiting

00:19:16.930 --> 00:19:22.880
on you to fulfill your destiny. Somebody is waiting

00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:28.119
on you to arrive. Now, for me to produce all

00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:30.900
those videos, do we have hundreds of thousands

00:19:30.900 --> 00:19:35.119
of views? That's not my intent. My intent is

00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:39.539
to obey God because he knows the future better

00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:42.740
than I know my past. Now, the one video that

00:19:42.740 --> 00:19:46.339
has gotten the most views and the most hits is

00:19:46.339 --> 00:19:49.299
the benefits and the purpose of speaking in tongues,

00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:54.849
quite honestly. People are waiting on you. People

00:19:54.849 --> 00:19:57.890
are waiting on me. I am not doing what I'm doing

00:19:57.890 --> 00:20:01.230
for now. I'm doing it for the generations to

00:20:01.230 --> 00:20:04.910
come. I'm doing it because there's a whole bunch

00:20:04.910 --> 00:20:10.210
of people that don't know what you know. Okay?

00:20:10.509 --> 00:20:15.059
Let's talk about Elizabeth. She was the mother

00:20:15.059 --> 00:20:18.099
of John the Baptist. Can you imagine raising

00:20:18.099 --> 00:20:24.240
that kid? But he was a forerunner and he prepared

00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:28.559
the way for Jesus. Some of you have given birth

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:32.900
to little Caleb's, little Joshua's, little Hannah's,

00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:38.839
little prophets, little leaders. That was your

00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:41.839
ministry and is your ministry. The Samaritan

00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.289
woman, I like this one. The Samaritan woman was

00:20:45.289 --> 00:20:49.250
the first to preach in Samaria. The words of

00:20:49.250 --> 00:20:53.329
the woman at the well. spread all through the

00:20:53.329 --> 00:20:57.910
region. People came from all over to hear the

00:20:57.910 --> 00:21:02.670
man who she had spoken with and had that supernatural

00:21:02.670 --> 00:21:06.529
insight from. Many Samaritans believed on the

00:21:06.529 --> 00:21:10.750
Christ because of her testimony that she gave

00:21:10.750 --> 00:21:14.390
to them. Now, the interesting thing is, is that

00:21:14.390 --> 00:21:19.369
they call her the woman at the well. Well, who

00:21:19.369 --> 00:21:22.509
are you? Well, I'm a woman at the well. Well,

00:21:22.529 --> 00:21:25.569
what did she have? She had a water pot. Let me

00:21:25.569 --> 00:21:28.549
ask you a question. What has God put in your

00:21:28.549 --> 00:21:35.210
hands? Even with Moses, God said to Moses, what

00:21:35.210 --> 00:21:39.170
do you have in your hand? He had a rod. He had

00:21:39.170 --> 00:21:43.569
something that was man -made. God will take what

00:21:43.569 --> 00:21:47.430
you are and he will make you into what you were

00:21:47.430 --> 00:21:51.730
meant to be on this earth. He is the potter.

00:21:51.769 --> 00:21:56.759
We are the But we have to say yes. We have to

00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.880
obey. We have to be willing to do it afraid.

00:22:00.859 --> 00:22:03.579
And we have to allow him, listen my friends,

00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:08.279
to mold us. Even if you're throwing up, when

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:10.680
you're brushing your teeth, when you have a job

00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:17.880
to do for God. Anna, this reminds me of Mary,

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.759
my Mary over here. Anna was a prophet of the

00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:27.519
Lord. She was a widow. Yes. But she embraced

00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:32.079
new hope and destiny. She didn't stay in her

00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:36.119
pain. Listen, my friends, I understand. There's

00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:39.960
times we've got to process the pain. We go to

00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:44.059
therapy. We process. We think. We talk to our

00:22:44.059 --> 00:22:49.099
girlfriends. And we go on and on and on and on.

00:22:49.220 --> 00:22:52.539
But there comes a time where you have to arise.

00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:58.980
and cross over the jordan moses my servant is

00:22:58.980 --> 00:23:03.359
dead god's successor joshua the scripture says

00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.299
had to arise and cross over the jordan we have

00:23:07.299 --> 00:23:11.440
to stop mourning in places that god has said

00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:17.000
is over it's over if we keep looking back we're

00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:22.200
going to be frozen Like the woman that froze,

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:24.660
the one that came, what was her name? Lot's wife.

00:23:25.430 --> 00:23:29.269
She was looking back and yearning and longing

00:23:29.269 --> 00:23:32.470
and yearning. She didn't think ahead. She didn't

00:23:32.470 --> 00:23:36.460
think of her future. She was stuck. She was frozen.

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:41.700
But here we see Anna. She was a widow, but she

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:46.819
moved on. Her ministry became prayer. She prophesied

00:23:46.819 --> 00:23:49.420
concerning the Messiah and his coming, and then

00:23:49.420 --> 00:23:53.740
she prayed it through until she saw the manifestation

00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:59.160
of her prayers. Prayer is a ministry. Whatever

00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:04.559
you do in secret, God said, I will reward you

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.509
openly. When I went up... out of my body, it

00:24:08.509 --> 00:24:11.990
gave me a hunger to know and understand near

00:24:11.990 --> 00:24:14.470
-death experiences. Me and Cindy share that common

00:24:14.470 --> 00:24:18.230
thread. I understand there's some of them, they're

00:24:18.230 --> 00:24:21.349
not of God. They've had nine lives and they went

00:24:21.349 --> 00:24:23.849
through all their life. No. The Bible says it

00:24:23.849 --> 00:24:27.509
is given unto a man once to die. But it gave

00:24:27.509 --> 00:24:32.069
me new insights and it gave me a vision that

00:24:32.069 --> 00:24:37.089
the real me is this person right here. Though

00:24:37.089 --> 00:24:40.049
the outward... man perishes. The inner man is

00:24:40.049 --> 00:24:42.650
being renewed day by day. And there's a future

00:24:42.650 --> 00:24:46.509
set before me. And the future is eternity. The

00:24:46.509 --> 00:24:50.089
future is standing before God and giving an account

00:24:50.089 --> 00:24:53.589
for my life. What did you do with the talents

00:24:53.589 --> 00:24:56.569
and the gifts I gave you? I don't know about

00:24:56.569 --> 00:25:00.529
you, but I'm going to run my race all the way

00:25:00.529 --> 00:25:08.349
to the end. So Mary made prayer her ministry.

00:25:08.609 --> 00:25:11.859
I love that. And then the woman at the tomb,

00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:15.279
the women, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother

00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.960
of Jesus, arrived at Christ's tomb just as the

00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:21.519
light of day began to pour over the horizon.

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:25.920
It was only two days previously that Mary had

00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:30.940
watched, imagine, Mary had watched the soldiers

00:25:30.940 --> 00:25:36.460
heave the heavy cross into its painful vertical

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:42.339
position. Now, Here they are at the tomb. And

00:25:42.339 --> 00:25:46.039
interrupting this sadness and the heartache of

00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:48.880
their heart, the angel of the Lord met them in

00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:55.680
the tomb, declaring, he ain't dead. He's not

00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:59.990
dead. And let me tell you, devil, if they had

00:25:59.990 --> 00:26:05.549
known, they would have never crucified the Lord

00:26:05.549 --> 00:26:08.769
of glory. Let me tell you, you are not dead.

00:26:09.369 --> 00:26:16.180
The devil has messed with the wrong person. Hard

00:26:16.180 --> 00:26:21.630
times either make you bitter or better. But it

00:26:21.630 --> 00:26:26.950
was these women that were told to go and tell

00:26:26.950 --> 00:26:31.549
the disciples and told her and him not to be

00:26:31.549 --> 00:26:34.109
afraid. Deborah the Deliverer, she was a prophetess.

00:26:34.210 --> 00:26:38.599
She wore a lot of hats. A judge, don't we wear

00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:41.650
a lot of hats? What hat do you have on today?

00:26:42.269 --> 00:26:46.450
Receiver. We're receiving today. Finally. She

00:26:46.450 --> 00:26:51.230
was a prophetess, a judge, a wife, a deliverer,

00:26:51.230 --> 00:26:55.779
a warrior, a worshiper of her God and ultimate

00:26:55.779 --> 00:27:00.000
king. Deborah brought healing, deliverance, and

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:04.609
restoration to her land. A woman. She changed...

00:27:04.890 --> 00:27:08.250
the justice system, and she brought trade and

00:27:08.250 --> 00:27:11.950
commerce back to her people. She and Barak joined

00:27:11.950 --> 00:27:17.730
together in the infamous battle against Caesarea

00:27:17.730 --> 00:27:24.829
and won. And then you know the story of Esther.

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:31.339
Haman, one of the highest officials of the king

00:27:31.339 --> 00:27:35.819
of the Persian Empire, devised a scheme to have,

00:27:35.940 --> 00:27:41.769
listen to this, every Jew in Persia killed. The

00:27:41.769 --> 00:27:46.250
king bought into the plot and agreed to annihilate

00:27:46.250 --> 00:27:50.029
the Jewish people on a specific day. Meanwhile,

00:27:50.329 --> 00:27:52.890
Mordecai learned of the plan and shared it with

00:27:52.890 --> 00:27:58.049
Esther. Is it possible that the Holy Spirit can

00:27:58.049 --> 00:28:00.950
give you the schemes and the plans of the enemy

00:28:00.950 --> 00:28:05.150
that are coming up the road ahead? concerning

00:28:05.150 --> 00:28:09.470
your nation, concerning your families, concerning

00:28:09.470 --> 00:28:12.450
people in your sphere of influence. I like to

00:28:12.450 --> 00:28:16.269
say it like this. We have inside information.

00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:20.240
I could tell you story after story about that.

00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.019
