00:00:03.350 --> 00:00:08.349
prayer of a righteous man avails much god will

00:00:08.349 --> 00:00:11.210
put the prayer in your heart to pray so that

00:00:11.210 --> 00:00:13.289
he can answer it goes into the hearts of the

00:00:13.289 --> 00:00:16.350
people doesn't return void it produces results

00:00:16.350 --> 00:00:24.460
woman at the tomb the women Mary Magdalene and

00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:27.440
Mary, the mother of Jesus, arrived at Christ's

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.800
tomb just as the light of day began to pour over

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.380
the horizon. It was only two days previously

00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:39.840
that Mary had watched. Imagine. Mary had watched

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:45.399
the soldiers heave the heavy cross into its painful

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.439
vertical position. Now, here they are at the

00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:55.759
tomb. interrupting this sadness and the heartache

00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.619
of their heart, the angel of the Lord met them

00:00:58.619 --> 00:01:05.590
in the tomb, declaring, he ain't dead. He's not

00:01:05.590 --> 00:01:09.870
dead. And let me tell you, devil, if they had

00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:15.430
known, they would have never crucified the Lord

00:01:15.430 --> 00:01:18.670
of glory. Let me tell you, you are not dead.

00:01:19.030 --> 00:01:26.030
The devil has messed with the wrong person. Hard

00:01:26.030 --> 00:01:31.500
times either make you bitter or better. But it

00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:36.819
was these women that were told to go and tell

00:01:36.819 --> 00:01:41.420
the disciples and told her and him not to be

00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:43.980
afraid. Deborah the Deliverer, she was a prophetess.

00:01:44.219 --> 00:01:48.489
She wore a lot of hats. A judge, don't we wear

00:01:48.489 --> 00:01:51.519
a lot of hats? What hat do you have on today?

00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.329
Receiver, we're receiving today, finally. She

00:01:56.329 --> 00:02:01.090
was a prophetess, a judge, a wife, a deliverer,

00:02:01.109 --> 00:02:05.719
a warrior, a worshiper of her God and ultimate

00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:09.900
king. Deborah brought healing, deliverance, and

00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:14.210
restoration to her land. A woman. She changed

00:02:14.210 --> 00:02:18.129
the justice system and she brought trade and

00:02:18.129 --> 00:02:21.830
commerce back to her people. She and Barack joined

00:02:21.830 --> 00:02:27.620
together in the infamous battle against Caesarea

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:34.729
and won. And then you know the story of Esther.

00:02:38.210 --> 00:02:41.229
Haman, one of the highest officials of the king

00:02:41.229 --> 00:02:45.710
of the Persian empire, devised a scheme to have,

00:02:45.810 --> 00:02:51.599
listen to this, every Jew in Persia killed. The

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:56.120
king bought into the plot and agreed to annihilate

00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.939
the Jewish people on a specific day. Meanwhile,

00:03:00.219 --> 00:03:02.780
Mordecai learned of the plan and shared it with

00:03:02.780 --> 00:03:07.939
Esther. Is it possible that the Holy Spirit can

00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:10.840
give you the schemes and the plans of the enemy

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.819
that are coming up the road ahead concerning

00:03:14.819 --> 00:03:19.379
your nation, concerning your families, concerning

00:03:19.379 --> 00:03:22.360
people in your sphere of influence? I like to

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:26.159
say it like this. We have inside information.

00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.139
I could tell you story after story about that.

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.939
And then he goes on to say, Mordecai says to

00:03:33.939 --> 00:03:37.060
Esther, do not think that because you are in

00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:41.300
the king's house, you alone of all the Jews will

00:03:41.300 --> 00:03:47.080
escape. For if you remain silent at this time,

00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:51.740
relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise

00:03:51.740 --> 00:03:55.939
from another place. You know, Catherine Coleman

00:03:55.939 --> 00:03:58.780
used to always say, God chose a man to do what

00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:02.419
I'm doing, but a lot of men said no. So God chose

00:04:02.419 --> 00:04:06.580
her, and she arose to the occasion. She would

00:04:06.580 --> 00:04:09.979
often say, every time she'd get out before she'd

00:04:09.979 --> 00:04:13.120
ministered to the people, she said, I would die

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:17.709
a thousand deaths. Of course. In order for her

00:04:17.709 --> 00:04:19.810
to operate in signs and wonders and miracles,

00:04:20.050 --> 00:04:22.670
she needed the gifts of the Spirit to be in operation.

00:04:23.149 --> 00:04:25.250
She needed the power and the presence of the

00:04:25.250 --> 00:04:28.269
Holy Spirit. She needed to create an atmosphere

00:04:28.269 --> 00:04:31.089
and an environment for the Holy Ghost to work.

00:04:31.189 --> 00:04:33.529
And if he's not working, it's a big problem.

00:04:34.509 --> 00:04:37.670
But she arose to the occasion. Why? She said,

00:04:37.689 --> 00:04:42.120
yes. He said, for the Jews will arise from another

00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.720
place, but you and your father's family will

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.439
perish. And who knows? But that you have come

00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:53.740
to your royal position for such a time as this.

00:04:54.019 --> 00:04:59.600
My friends, she risked her life to serve God

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:06.899
and to save her people. She arose. Let's talk

00:05:06.899 --> 00:05:10.160
about modern women who arose. And then we're

00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:19.579
going to close. Rosa Parks. I love that. She

00:05:19.579 --> 00:05:25.310
stood up for her rights. Now, in this case, by

00:05:25.310 --> 00:05:32.420
remaining seated. And in doing so, this woman

00:05:32.420 --> 00:05:37.000
sparked a movement that led to a long overdue

00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.019
equal rights movement for the African Americans.

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.579
Think about it. If Rosa Parks had sat down, Martin

00:05:45.579 --> 00:05:50.689
Luther King would have not stood up. Sitting

00:05:50.689 --> 00:06:00.079
down was her power move. This courageous woman,

00:06:00.259 --> 00:06:05.410
her story is real. During World War II, she smuggled

00:06:05.410 --> 00:06:10.629
more than 2 ,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw

00:06:10.629 --> 00:06:15.189
Ghetto, where she worked as a plumbing and sewer

00:06:15.189 --> 00:06:19.790
specialist. The Nazis eventually caught her,

00:06:21.449 --> 00:06:24.870
broke her arms and legs, and beat her severely.

00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:29.379
Irina had kept the record of all the children

00:06:29.379 --> 00:06:34.189
she helped. She was organized. Maybe there's

00:06:34.189 --> 00:06:38.060
a method to my madness. She was organized. She

00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:40.579
kept the record of all the children she helped

00:06:40.579 --> 00:06:44.620
and buried it in a glass bottle under a tree

00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:49.279
to help unite families who had been torn apart.

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:55.079
She thought ahead. Isn't that what we do? My

00:06:55.079 --> 00:07:00.269
mother, my mother was a social worker. And then

00:07:00.269 --> 00:07:03.589
she became a teacher for special ed children.

00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:10.509
So my mother was a pioneer because I don't know

00:07:10.509 --> 00:07:12.310
if you know this, what they used to do is they

00:07:12.310 --> 00:07:15.410
used to put the physically disabled children

00:07:15.410 --> 00:07:18.769
with the children that had mental health challenges

00:07:18.769 --> 00:07:22.569
in the same classroom. That's just how it was

00:07:22.569 --> 00:07:27.230
done. Well, my mother arose and she put a stop

00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:31.620
to it. So they separated the mental health challenge

00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:34.639
children from the physically disabled children

00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.040
so that there would be equal opportunity for

00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:42.800
both sides to receive a proper education. Unfortunately,

00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.660
she can't be Googled. But let me tell you, she

00:07:46.660 --> 00:07:48.600
ruffled a lot of feathers. People didn't like

00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:54.420
it. But my mother, my mother, think about it.

00:07:54.660 --> 00:07:57.410
Then sometimes my daughter will be like... Well,

00:07:57.410 --> 00:07:59.970
Mommy, you're a pioneer. You were the first woman

00:07:59.970 --> 00:08:02.509
in multiple pulpits. Just like your mother, you

00:08:02.509 --> 00:08:05.050
pioneered something. Isn't that the ultimate

00:08:05.050 --> 00:08:09.250
we want our kids to be proud of us? My friend

00:08:09.250 --> 00:08:14.699
Cindy, I'm so proud of her. Her middle child

00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:19.220
was born with severe autism. Severe. He didn't

00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:23.259
even talk. Challenge after challenge after challenge

00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:26.740
after challenge. You know what she did? She made

00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:32.580
lemonade out of her lemons. She made videos for

00:08:32.580 --> 00:08:36.100
other autistic moms and dads and showed them

00:08:36.100 --> 00:08:39.100
about her life with autistic children and gave

00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:42.759
them hope, gave them education, spoke into their

00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:46.950
lives, brought comfort to them. Eventually, Robbie

00:08:46.950 --> 00:08:49.389
went home to be with the Lord at the age of 27.

00:08:49.710 --> 00:08:52.269
But you know what my friend Cindy did? And I'm

00:08:52.269 --> 00:08:55.840
proud to call her my friend. She started a nonprofit

00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:02.620
called Lemonade Bombs. And she has conferences.

00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:07.210
She's organized. She has conferences for all

00:09:07.210 --> 00:09:10.870
the moms of autistic children so that they can

00:09:10.870 --> 00:09:15.169
come and get facials, get massages, get a makeover,

00:09:15.210 --> 00:09:20.990
just have a break, have a day off. She made lemons.

00:09:21.230 --> 00:09:25.009
She made lemonade out of lemons. Let me ask you

00:09:25.009 --> 00:09:32.990
a question. What is in your hands? See, the Bible

00:09:32.990 --> 00:09:38.919
says you're able to comfort others. with the

00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:43.419
same comfort wherewith you've been comforted

00:09:43.419 --> 00:09:50.019
by God. T .D. Jakes once said, if you can't figure

00:09:50.019 --> 00:09:54.529
out your purpose, figure out your passion, or

00:09:55.970 --> 00:10:00.909
find out where you've had pain and hurt and turn

00:10:00.909 --> 00:10:06.440
it into something for God. For your passion,

00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.539
he said, will lead you right into your purpose.

00:10:11.419 --> 00:10:15.580
Lastly, we must arise in fervent prayer and intercession.

00:10:20.019 --> 00:10:25.110
Lamentations 2 10 and 11 says arise cry out in

00:10:25.110 --> 00:10:28.850
the night at the beginning of the watches pour

00:10:28.850 --> 00:10:32.389
out your heart like water before the Lord lift

00:10:32.389 --> 00:10:35.929
up your hands toward him my friends God is calling

00:10:35.929 --> 00:10:40.799
you in this region to a fresh level of prayer

00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:46.929
and intercession why are the prayer meetings

00:10:46.929 --> 00:10:54.149
not full I believe We need to change that. Prayer

00:10:54.149 --> 00:10:56.870
may be your purpose. It's everybody's purpose.

00:10:57.129 --> 00:11:02.129
But you can make prayer your ministry. And prayer

00:11:02.129 --> 00:11:07.850
opens up the door for God to work. We have not...

00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:12.059
Because we ask not. If we don't lift our hands

00:11:12.059 --> 00:11:16.259
in prayer, if we don't lift our hands in intercession,

00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:22.100
the hand of God is unable to move. God said,

00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:25.820
if my people who are called by my name, when

00:11:25.820 --> 00:11:29.179
you humble yourself and you pray, he said, I'll

00:11:29.179 --> 00:11:34.559
forgive your sin. I'll heal their land. It's

00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:41.879
time to arise in prayer. It's time. How many

00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.840
of you are ready to arise in prayer? How many

00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.039
of you are ready to be everything God's called

00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:52.340
you to be? Let's stand. Thank you, Lord. Can

00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:56.120
I have some music before I turn it back over

00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:03.470
to Janet? I believe there's someone in here who's

00:12:03.470 --> 00:12:08.029
never been baptized in the Holy Spirit and never

00:12:08.029 --> 00:12:13.409
spoken in tongues before. I could tell by the

00:12:13.409 --> 00:12:17.090
thread of how I was speaking. And what God was

00:12:17.090 --> 00:12:23.029
saying. Praise you Jesus. Or you may be here.

00:12:23.169 --> 00:12:27.509
And you've been prayed for. Multiple times. And

00:12:27.509 --> 00:12:30.620
you've never released your prayer language. Let

00:12:30.620 --> 00:12:35.710
me just say this. Everyone who asks. Right Mary

00:12:35.710 --> 00:12:41.539
Jo? Receives. You've been seeking. Today is your

00:12:41.539 --> 00:12:49.470
day. To release your prayer language. There are

00:12:49.470 --> 00:12:52.169
several prayers spoken of in the word of God.

00:12:52.980 --> 00:12:56.039
The prayer of intercession is just one of those

00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.779
prayers spoken of in Ephesians 6 .18. And this

00:12:59.779 --> 00:13:03.259
particular book, Marked for Intercession, teaches

00:13:03.259 --> 00:13:06.720
the reader how to pray for your family, how to

00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.039
pray for your friends, how to stand in the gap

00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.080
for a nation, how to pray for leadership, and

00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.080
it goes on and on and on. I would encourage you

00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.519
to get this book and dive in deep. so that you

00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.379
can be that man, you could be that woman that

00:13:21.379 --> 00:13:24.340
would stand in the gap and put up the hedge and

00:13:24.340 --> 00:13:27.440
be the love of God expressed in the earth. You

00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.720
can go to my website at margieflaurent .org and

00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.279
not only will you find my book, but I also have

00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.279
a workbook that goes with the subject of marked

00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:51.429
for intercession. A gift, that's misinterpretation

00:13:51.429 --> 00:13:55.389
of the Bible. You're referring to the nine gifts

00:13:55.389 --> 00:13:59.759
of the Spirit, which includes tongues, An interpretation

00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.159
of tongues. And not everybody has that gift.

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:07.970
But the Bible says, everyone say the Bible. These

00:14:07.970 --> 00:14:12.730
signs will accompany them that believe. They

00:14:12.730 --> 00:14:18.990
will speak with new tongues. There's a group

00:14:18.990 --> 00:14:21.610
of people that I looked it up and when I was

00:14:21.610 --> 00:14:26.710
sitting there, Paul was at Ephesus and he came

00:14:26.710 --> 00:14:31.220
to a group of believers. And he said, hey, have

00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:33.379
you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?

00:14:34.539 --> 00:14:36.679
And their response was, well, we have not so

00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:38.860
much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.019
And the Bible says he laid his hands on them

00:14:43.019 --> 00:14:48.559
and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. Point

00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:53.100
being, they were believers, but they had not

00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:56.019
yet released their prayer language. They had

00:14:56.019 --> 00:15:00.519
not yet been filled with the Holy Spirit. On

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:06.779
February 4th, In 2026, I'd been seeking God for

00:15:06.779 --> 00:15:12.720
two years regarding one single question. Why

00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:20.519
am I here in Southwest Florida? Why am I here?

00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:25.519
And it took two years. And I had a dream and

00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:27.820
an encounter in the night. I'm not going to get

00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:30.809
into the whole thing. But the beginning of the

00:15:30.809 --> 00:15:35.009
encounter. He started to talk to me in a dream,

00:15:35.009 --> 00:15:38.440
in a vision in the night. And I kept seeing throughout

00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:44.000
the whole dream, Acts 1 .8. You shall receive

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.559
power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.

00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:51.779
And you shall be witnesses unto me. And the Lord

00:15:51.779 --> 00:15:57.370
said to me, he said, he said, this region. Not

00:15:57.370 --> 00:15:59.549
only this region, I think all over the world,

00:15:59.570 --> 00:16:02.490
but I was being specific in my asking for direction.

00:16:03.029 --> 00:16:08.210
He said, is in need of the power of the Holy

00:16:08.210 --> 00:16:12.870
Spirit. And he said to me, and this region, he

00:16:12.870 --> 00:16:17.549
said, my people need to understand the purpose

00:16:17.549 --> 00:16:23.289
and the power of praying in tongues. And my people.

00:16:23.860 --> 00:16:27.240
perish because of a lack of knowledge. They don't

00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.200
understand what tongues is, what it's for, what

00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:34.220
it can produce in the realm of the spirit. He

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:36.940
said, and I'm going to bring a revival of Acts

00:16:36.940 --> 00:16:39.500
1 -8 to this region. And there's going to be

00:16:39.500 --> 00:16:42.100
a surge of tongues that's going to come into

00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:45.399
this region. And once again, my people are going

00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.259
to release their prayer language. When they don't

00:16:48.259 --> 00:16:50.740
know how to pray for something, they will have

00:16:50.740 --> 00:16:54.899
a supernatural means of communication with me

00:16:54.899 --> 00:16:57.879
that will move mountains. Because when you're

00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:02.620
in Christ, you're in Him. And in Him is everything.

00:17:03.340 --> 00:17:06.380
There's no unbelief from that place. You're praying

00:17:06.380 --> 00:17:08.819
out of a place of being blessed. You're praying

00:17:08.819 --> 00:17:11.240
out of your right standing. You're not praying

00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.519
anything but the perfect will of God, and we

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.349
need to stir it up. So I'm going to ask, if you

00:17:19.349 --> 00:17:21.269
want to be filled with the Holy Spirit, I'm going

00:17:21.269 --> 00:17:24.299
to ask you to come on up. We are in a prayer

00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:26.700
meeting, the same prayer meeting I spoke of earlier

00:17:26.700 --> 00:17:29.140
at Joe Source. We have the most powerful prayer

00:17:29.140 --> 00:17:32.259
meetings. He's like a word church, like you guys.

00:17:32.730 --> 00:17:37.019
But he's also Holy Ghost. See, I like both. I

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:38.920
like it when you got the word and then you got

00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:45.160
the Holy Ghost. You know, we had those people.

00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:49.240
I am telling you, everyone would yield it over

00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.960
to the Holy Spirit. They were all praying in

00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.680
tongues, all yielding to the Holy Ghost. And

00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:56.180
at the end of the meeting, you know how you have

00:17:56.180 --> 00:18:00.559
a time frame. You always respect that. So I was

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:05.140
getting ready to turn it over to the boss. These

00:18:05.140 --> 00:18:08.170
three young girls lit up. And, you know, I kind

00:18:08.170 --> 00:18:10.829
of like work around it sometimes. You know, that's

00:18:10.829 --> 00:18:12.849
why in learning how to move in the gifts of the

00:18:12.849 --> 00:18:15.630
Spirit, sometimes you step out. Not that you

00:18:15.630 --> 00:18:19.460
test. I'm careful about how I use it. But it

00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:23.599
is like, what is this that I'm sensing or feeling?

00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:26.200
You test it. Because if you don't give way to

00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:28.339
the Holy Spirit, you don't acknowledge Him, or

00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:30.420
the promptings that you're getting, it'll just

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:32.799
get weaker and weaker and weaker. But the more

00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.619
you step out, the more you'll be strengthened.

00:18:35.619 --> 00:18:37.420
And if you make a mistake, you make a mistake.

00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:41.019
I'd rather have a little wildfire than no fire

00:18:41.019 --> 00:18:48.099
at all. Hence the sweater. But these three girls

00:18:48.099 --> 00:18:51.319
stood out, two girls. And I looked at them. I

00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:53.960
go, are you in college? Because I was like trying

00:18:53.960 --> 00:19:00.039
to feel things out. They go, no. I go, oh. And

00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.140
then I just went right at it. If I remain silent,

00:19:03.299 --> 00:19:05.019
these women are not going to get their needs

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:09.259
met. I said, have you received the Holy Spirit

00:19:09.259 --> 00:19:11.880
since you believe? Have you ever spoken in tongues?

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.259
They go, no. I said, well, would you like to

00:19:15.259 --> 00:19:17.960
today? Yes. I mean, they sat through a whole

00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:20.420
prayer meeting of tongues and prayer. It was

00:19:20.420 --> 00:19:22.619
incredible. Just like you. You've been in a meeting.

00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:24.700
There's been a lot of tongues. It's the Holy

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:28.779
Ghost. It's the Holy Spirit. He's a perfect gentleman.

00:19:28.859 --> 00:19:31.619
And he's not going to force you or make you say

00:19:31.619 --> 00:19:34.519
or do something. But they wanted it. Him, not

00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.900
it. He's not an it. And then three other girls

00:19:37.900 --> 00:19:40.119
behind them came up. They were all millennials.

00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:47.839
Moms. Hello? All millennials. So all five of

00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.940
them stood in the row. I didn't even have them

00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:53.500
come up. They all stood in the row. It was my

00:19:53.500 --> 00:19:56.990
job to make sure they're born again. I saw that

00:19:56.990 --> 00:19:59.289
in some of these other countries, they pray for

00:19:59.289 --> 00:20:01.269
people to be filled with the Holy Spirit. You

00:20:01.269 --> 00:20:04.000
want to make sure everybody's born again. Because

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.180
in these other countries, other things manifest.

00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:08.960
It's less here in the United States. But, you

00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.220
know, the Bible says if you ask for the Holy

00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:14.490
Spirit, he's not going to give you a stone. If

00:20:14.490 --> 00:20:17.230
you then be a natural. Parents know how to give

00:20:17.230 --> 00:20:20.930
good things to your children. How much more will

00:20:20.930 --> 00:20:25.650
your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to

00:20:25.650 --> 00:20:31.509
them that ask Him? So we prayed the prayer. All

00:20:31.509 --> 00:20:34.230
five of them began speaking with other tongues

00:20:34.230 --> 00:20:36.569
as the Spirit gave them utterance. One of them

00:20:36.569 --> 00:20:39.869
I found out later, she'd been having a hard time

00:20:39.869 --> 00:20:42.690
releasing her language because nobody told her

00:20:42.690 --> 00:20:47.309
she does the speaking. Right, Mary? The Holy

00:20:47.309 --> 00:20:49.890
Spirit's not going to come on you and make you

00:20:49.890 --> 00:20:52.869
say or do something you don't want to do or embarrass

00:20:52.869 --> 00:20:56.529
you because he's a gentleman. But just like the

00:20:56.529 --> 00:21:02.089
real me left my body, I do the speaking. My spirit

00:21:02.089 --> 00:21:05.130
by the Holy Spirit. You're not praying out of

00:21:05.130 --> 00:21:09.369
your mind. You're praying out of your spirit.

00:21:11.390 --> 00:21:13.849
So have you received the Holy Ghost since you

00:21:13.849 --> 00:21:17.640
believed? I think we'll do it this way. Everyone

00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:20.660
close your eyes. I mean, this is a women's conference.

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.880
We should be pretty bold with one another, right?

00:21:24.420 --> 00:21:26.599
We talk about everything imaginable with our

00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:32.930
girlfriends, don't we? So if you're here, you

00:21:32.930 --> 00:21:35.009
want to be baptized in the Holy Spirit with evidence

00:21:35.009 --> 00:21:38.799
of speaking in tongues, I prefer that you come

00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.400
up, but God will meet you right in your seat.

00:21:43.259 --> 00:21:46.750
Let me just see your hand really quick. Okay,

00:21:46.789 --> 00:21:52.869
I see that hand. Okay. Is there anybody else?

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:57.220
There's that hand. Okay, see that hand? Okay,

00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:04.690
see that hand? Okay. I think there's more. We

00:22:04.690 --> 00:22:06.529
did a prayer meeting, same church, Joe Source,

00:22:06.730 --> 00:22:09.569
once a month. Here we go. I pretty much do my

00:22:09.569 --> 00:22:12.680
whole schedule around because that's an assignment.

00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:17.940
Everyone say assignment. I mean, we did a prayer

00:22:17.940 --> 00:22:19.859
meeting. Everybody's speaking in tongues. One

00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:23.039
time, we had like 12 people come up to be filled

00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:25.869
with the Holy Spirit. I think people are hungry

00:22:25.869 --> 00:22:28.700
for God right now. And I think we need to take

00:22:28.700 --> 00:22:31.500
advantage of the hunger that's being stirred

00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:34.789
within the body right now. And we can't miss

00:22:34.789 --> 00:22:39.460
God. Okay, is there anybody else? We had, I think

00:22:39.460 --> 00:22:42.769
we had about, I think we had four. Okay, we're

00:22:42.769 --> 00:22:44.829
going to pray this together. And I want everyone

00:22:44.829 --> 00:22:48.019
to close their eyes. Let's say this together.

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:55.150
Say, Heavenly Father, I come to you right now

00:22:55.150 --> 00:23:03.230
in Jesus' name. I believe. in my heart that Jesus

00:23:03.230 --> 00:23:10.450
Christ is the Son of God. I believe that he died

00:23:10.450 --> 00:23:14.349
on the cross and that he was raised from the

00:23:14.349 --> 00:23:21.619
dead. And Jesus, I ask you to come into my heart

00:23:21.619 --> 00:23:28.519
and be the Lord of my life. Jesus Christ, you

00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:35.170
are my Lord. I thank you that I'm washed with

00:23:35.170 --> 00:23:40.549
the blood and I am a child of God. And now, Jesus,

00:23:40.690 --> 00:23:47.970
I'm asking you to baptize me with the Holy Spirit.

00:23:48.769 --> 00:23:55.259
Holy Spirit, come upon me. Holy Spirit, rise

00:23:55.259 --> 00:24:03.160
up inside me. And I will, I will, I will. Begin

00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:08.720
to speak with other tongues as your spirit gives

00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:13.599
me utterance. Okay, now speak. Come on, everybody

00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:26.880
pray. There you go. There you go. That's Him.

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:31.900
That's the Holy Ghost. Keep speaking. Keep speaking.

00:24:47.089 --> 00:24:49.450
there you go there you go just keep speaking

00:25:07.579 --> 00:25:21.700
Keep speaking, keep speaking. Keep speaking,

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:48.500
keep speaking. There you go. Okay, now stop.

00:25:50.890 --> 00:25:53.390
The ones that raised their hands that I saw,

00:25:53.390 --> 00:25:55.369
I saw you speaking in your heavenly language

00:25:55.369 --> 00:25:57.990
and everybody's got a different language. We're

00:25:57.990 --> 00:26:02.769
going to pray again just to show you that you

00:26:02.769 --> 00:26:06.680
do the speaking. By an act of your will, you

00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:08.680
jump out and you just start praying in the Holy

00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:11.619
Ghost. But I only got a couple words. Just keep

00:26:11.619 --> 00:26:14.819
stirring up the gift of God. Keep praying in

00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:17.079
the Holy Ghost. And the more you pray in the

00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:18.920
Holy Ghost, the more you're going to understand

00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.180
and see it's my spirit by the Holy Spirit within

00:26:22.180 --> 00:26:25.599
me that's praying. I form the words. He uses

00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:30.279
my mouth, my vocal cords, and I give it the language

00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:32.970
utterance. So we're going to go ahead and we're

00:26:32.970 --> 00:26:35.569
going to pray in tongues again. You ready? Let's

00:26:35.569 --> 00:27:03.470
go. We praise you, Jesus. Let's just lift our

00:27:03.470 --> 00:27:07.009
hands and thank him. Thank you, Lord. Thank you,

00:27:07.009 --> 00:27:10.009
Father. We just bless you, Lord. We praise you

00:27:10.009 --> 00:27:12.069
and we thank you for everything that you did

00:27:12.069 --> 00:27:17.000
in Jesus' name. All right. Let's give Margie

00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:21.579
a hand. My gosh. Thank you. My book, Contend,

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:24.119
Stewarding the Hearts and Destinies of Our Children

00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:27.660
Through Prayer, is one of my most favorite projects

00:27:27.660 --> 00:27:31.910
thus far. In this book, I teach the reader how

00:27:31.910 --> 00:27:35.769
to pray effectively for their children, their

00:27:35.769 --> 00:27:39.170
grandchildren, and the rising generations that

00:27:39.170 --> 00:27:42.029
are in the earth today. Make no mistake about

00:27:42.029 --> 00:27:45.450
it. There is war over the hearts and the destinies

00:27:45.450 --> 00:27:48.470
of our children. And this book will equip you

00:27:48.470 --> 00:27:52.329
as to how to pray effectively for those young

00:27:52.329 --> 00:27:55.819
people. In this book, I teach you about the power

00:27:55.819 --> 00:27:58.440
and the purpose of praying in tongues. I show

00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:01.460
you what a prayer alert looks like. There are

00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:05.180
sample prayers. Not only that, there are outlines

00:28:05.180 --> 00:28:08.640
at the end of each chapter. So if you run a Bible

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.539
study, you can use this book as a springboard

00:28:11.539 --> 00:28:14.920
to teach others how to pray for their children.
