  1. I am so glad to be here. Now, let me

  2. see again, how many of you been to Turlock? Well,

  3. let me see over here. Oh my gosh, that's incredible.

  4. I hope to see you again soon. It nice to just,

  5. you know, be able to go back and forth. My

  6. notes just went off. I hate that when that happens.

  7. I'm all ready to preach of my notes. There it is,

  8. they're back, thank god. A couple of things I could

  9. tell about this church, just because my husband and I

  10. have been in ministry for.

  11. Close to thirty years now.

  12. Yeah, same place too, so we're just putting it, put

  13. down roots and we just expand out. It's been our

  14. m But one of these I could tell about this

  15. church and your pestors is I know a place where

  16. there's things that I'm noticing in the body price now

  17. is there's pastors that have been in ministry now for

  18. a long time and they have done well. And your

  19. pastors are reflecting longevity that you need to pay attention to,

  20. longevity of relationship, longevity of ministry and just being solid.

  21. And that is like you don't realize what it's like

  22. to either lose your pastor or not have a church

  23. to go to because there really isn't a good solid

  24. leader in the area. So you need to like like

  25. double triple, quadruple your honor for your pastor's pastor Joanne

  26. and Joel in the house. And I can also tell

  27. there's prayer here, and I can tell there's a generous

  28. spirit here.

  29. And those are just.

  30. Little things that I can tell because longevity has qualifications.

  31. So there's qualifiers on the longevity and the staying power

  32. of certain people, and they will always have certain characteristics

  33. and so I just want to acknowledge that. And I'm

  34. enjoying a handful of friends now that they're just like

  35. your pastors there. They're just been in ministry for a

  36. long time. So trust me, this is not normal. It

  37. is not like the going story out there.

  38. But I believe God has has UH.

  39. He's creating something that we that we can look to

  40. and and learn from because we want to be finishers

  41. and we want to finish well.

  42. Amen.

  43. Amen, all right, I have a few books that I'd

  44. like to give out to you. I noticed this cause

  45. a little different, so I picked up some different books.

  46. This is about the UH, the gift of decerning spirits.

  47. I was so honored to be able to break open

  48. language for this because when it came on my life,

  49. it came on a super strong and nobody could really

  50. tell me much about it back then, and so I

  51. had to. I had to hammer out language, plain language

  52. for people who were feeling things, seeing things, hearing things,

  53. tasting things. Because a gift from God should not operate

  54. through your senses, it should operate through your mind. Nope,

  55. that's not how this one works. It operates your senses.

  56. You get information about what spirit is behind pretty much

  57. anything by what you feel, see, taste, a sense.

  58. And it's a very unusual gift.

  59. And if you don't know you have it, you think

  60. you're going crazy because you were normal until you stepped

  61. into that room, and then all of a sudden you're

  62. losing it.

  63. And then you leave that room and you're back to

  64. yourself again. What was that? The gift of descerning the spirits?

  65. Holy Spirit gave you information for the purpose of prayer

  66. and ministry and all of that. If you have this

  67. gift and you're struggling with it, raise your hand. I

  68. want to give this book to you right here, ma'am. Okay,

  69. she's right there. Okay, thank you so much. Okay, and

  70. I'll shorten up my little commercial here Awaken the Dreamscape.

  71. There's just a whole big history of how this book

  72. was birth. It was birth out of Australia actually, and

  73. the indigenous Aboriginals there they are dreamers like crazy. It's

  74. like a whole dream visionary realm out there. Sadly, ancient

  75. deities got into that realm and took possession of those

  76. tribes and they worshiped deities from that realm. But I

  77. believe God's kicking them out and that He's taken back

  78. the dreamscape. Anyway, this is the book about dreams, supernatural dreams.

  79. It has some instruction on how to interpret your dreams.

  80. If you're a dreamer, you don't know what to do

  81. with it. Who would like this book?

  82. Right, do we hear? Yes?

  83. You?

  84. Yes? Right?

  85. Yeah, come on and get the book or somebody's got

  86. to give it to her because I'm not going down there.

  87. All right, all right, thank you? Okay, let's see here

  88. we're I was going. Well, let me start. Is there

  89. a few names here? Since I get names of people

  90. and I want to check make sure am I hearing God?

  91. Am I not? Sometimes I'm wrong?

  92. Is there a stacy or and or a Nadine here.

  93. Stacy, or a Nadine Stacy?

  94. Is there a Nadine here Nadine n A D I

  95. N E. Is that like your mom or something? Nadine? Okay, Stacy,

  96. all right, your name dropped in my heart this morning

  97. and I was like, it's not the first service I

  98. knew that. Okay, would you mind coming forward since there's

  99. since there's a camera on us, would it bother you

  100. too much to come up here?

  101. Because the only.

  102. Reason there's a camera and I'm not going to make

  103. a big show. Don't worry. One of the things I

  104. feel that God wants to assure you of that his

  105. plans and purposes are not going to be thwarted in

  106. your life. That everything He designed for you and intended

  107. for you to do with Him in partnership with Him

  108. in the earth, that this is going to come to pass.

  109. It doesn't matter if someone betrays you. It doesn't matter

  110. if someone leaves you. It doesn't matter if somebody doesn't

  111. agree with you. It doesn't matter if somebody persecutes you.

  112. It doesn't matter if a whole army persecutes you, a

  113. whole group of people persecute you, and doesn't.

  114. Go with it.

  115. But there is a clear cut assignment just for you

  116. on your life. There's beauty all over it, and there's

  117. a clear cut assignment. Your voice is going to go

  118. into places and you're gonna speak into subjects and topics,

  119. and you're gonna give truth and you're gonna say this

  120. is what needs to happen here and there is no

  121. other way. And you're gonna stand your ground against opposition.

  122. And God's got your back. The angels have been a sign,

  123. and you're gonna accomplish everything he has designed for you

  124. to do in Jesus name.

  125. Amen, A mad God bless you.

  126. Okay, I'm not going to read the whole thing, but

  127. I'm gonna give you just a short summary of it

  128. because I need to go a few different areas in

  129. this service. So I've been talking about Matthew chapter six,

  130. and this is when the disciples they approached Jesus and said,

  131. teach us how to pray. And what we believe the

  132. reason behind that was because Jesus was walking in power.

  133. How many say, Jesus.

  134. Was walking in power, Amen, And it was power they

  135. had not seen in front of their own eyes before,

  136. and it mesmerized them. They caught their attention, and they

  137. took note that Jesus, even though he was fully God,

  138. but he laid that down so he can walk amongst

  139. us as an example, an anointed man of God. But

  140. he was fully God. But nevertheless, he still prayed. He

  141. was one who prayed, and he prayed a lot. And

  142. there was there's hints in the book of Hebrews of

  143. the sound of prayer that would come out of him.

  144. And he would, I mean, he would shout. There were

  145. shrieks coming out of him. He was an intercessor. Okay,

  146. he ever lives to make intercession for us. He's praying

  147. for us now. And if and if you're ever one, okay,

  148. if you are prayed for. I can't tell you how

  149. many times I've woken up in the night knowing I'm

  150. praying for somebody. I don't even know who they are,

  151. all right, And I think He's got us covered. That's

  152. basically what I'm trying to get to you. And so

  153. they took notice of his prayer and his intercession and

  154. his communion with God the Father and his heavenly Father,

  155. and they said, teach us how to pray. And this

  156. is where we begin to unfold the Lord's prayer. You

  157. know our father, who are in heaven. Hell will be

  158. your name.

  159. You know it.

  160. Your kingdom, calm, you will be done on earth as

  161. it is in heaven. Do you know this word? Give

  162. us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our deaths.

  163. Let's say it together, as we forgive our debtors. Do

  164. not lead us into temptation. Deliver us from the evil

  165. one for yours as a kingdom and the power and

  166. the glory forever.

  167. Amen. Now many of us we recite that.

  168. We use it as communion in our personal time of prayer,

  169. and we say it from A to Z. It's all good,

  170. it's great, it's it's a beautiful piece of meditative peace

  171. that we utilize. Nevertheless, each little line in here is

  172. a teaching point, you know, if you can actually break

  173. it down, and it is a full on teaching point.

  174. Let me give you an example, verse ten, Your Kingdom Come,

  175. you will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Well,

  176. when we read that, you know we love the concept

  177. on earth as it is in heaven. But what is

  178. Jesus telling them saying, this is what you need to pray.

  179. You need to pray the things of the Kingdom, the

  180. will of God. You need to pray it and pray

  181. for it to come and for God's will to be done.

  182. Because the inference is if you don't pray it in,

  183. it doesn't happen. That's a hard truth for us. If

  184. you don't pray it in, it doesn't happen. And why

  185. is that a hard truthless because we don't think that

  186. God even pays attention to us. We don't consider ourselves

  187. of any value, any worth that He would actually hear

  188. our voice. And that is absolutely not true. First of all,

  189. you have been made in the image of God. You've

  190. been created in the image of God. This is why

  191. the devil hates you. That's the only reason he hates you,

  192. because when he sees you, he sees a reflection of

  193. the one that's gonna take him out, all right, And

  194. so you've been made in the image of God.

  195. Furthermore, in the Book of Revelation.

  196. Not only were you created in the image of God,

  197. you were also created to be a king and a priest.

  198. Talk about authority, friends, You've been made these things.

  199. And then he's saying, this is how you pray.

  200. Because there is a heaven to Earth's connection with a

  201. voice of one who looks like God is created in

  202. his image, being made a king and a priest, beings

  203. to call forth the will of God on earth. Then

  204. he partners, he partners with our voice, okay, to release

  205. the things of the kingdom into this earth.

  206. It all goes back to who did he give this

  207. earth to you and I in Jesus' name?

  208. And so this whole thing where I'm just you know,

  209. I'm just gonna rely on the grace of God. I

  210. don't need to pray, and I don't ever need to pray. It,

  211. don't ever need to give my voice to God. Jesus

  212. prayed if you're gonna be praying too, And so I

  213. want to encourage you first and foremost personally that you

  214. need to have a rhythm of prayer.

  215. What is your rhythm of prayer? Now?

  216. I would recommend that you have a set time each

  217. and every morning, no matter what happens, you have that

  218. set time. If you are a new mom and you

  219. got babies, little babies, okay, you're gonna have windows of times.

  220. You're gonna have pockets, but use those pockets, all right.

  221. But that's usually the season where you have to make

  222. an adjustment but outside of that, have that set time.

  223. I know, for myself, I travel all over the globe.

  224. It doesn't matter what's going on in my life. There

  225. is a set time and prayer in my household. In

  226. my household, my husband's getting up, I'm getting up. Our

  227. eyes are blinking, and you know, we're doing this and

  228. we're getting our coffee and you know, and we're getting

  229. and we're starting to pray. Our children have watched us

  230. pray every single morning, every single day, and so we

  231. want to have a personal rhythm of prayer. I woke

  232. up on January first, twenty five out of a dream,

  233. one of those dreams. It's real, you know, it has

  234. that realistic quality to it. And I was in a

  235. prayer meeting in that dream. It's not like me to

  236. have a dream about a prayer meeting, but I was

  237. in a prayer meeting. And I woke up out of

  238. the dream with the spirit of prayer on me, spirit

  239. of intercession on me.

  240. I said, what's going on this year? Lord? You know?

  241. And I have just felt a call to deepen my

  242. prayer life. And it's not because I was doing something wrong.

  243. It was just there's a call for greater communion. There's

  244. a call for depth, there's a call to change my routine,

  245. and so I made some decisions to to you know,

  246. add in some more windows of time during the week

  247. per se. And then I'm also just taking some time

  248. when I can to have some.

  249. A personal prayer retreat. It's like overnight.

  250. Okay, I go to this what's called the Home of

  251. Peace in Oakland, California. That is a healing home from

  252. the a century ago and all the all the great

  253. healers used to stay there. It's a mansion and if

  254. you're a minister or a missionary, they'll give you a room.

  255. And you can get a room there. Okay, So it's

  256. like going to your great grandma's house and so so anyway,

  257. and it's in Oakland, California, and it's a beautiful ground.

  258. You go two blocks over. Sadly, everybody gives you the

  259. side eye, but you go back into the Home of

  260. Peace and His peace.

  261. Amen. All right. Oakland's notorious.

  262. All the a lot of great preachers preached there, but

  263. they all crush. There's many that Christian burned there. So

  264. this house is like a statement of longevity. We're still here.

  265. The healing home is still here amen, all right. So

  266. what I wanted to get to you is they wanted

  267. to get to Second Kings, Chapter twenty, verse one to five.

  268. And this is about Heekiah.

  269. It says, in those days Isekiah was sick and near death,

  270. and Isaiah the prophet, Now Isaiah, we respect.

  271. Isaiah right like Isaiya. He's he's the guy.

  272. Isaiah the Prophet went to him and said, thus says

  273. the Lord set your house in order, you shall die

  274. and not live. There's nothing like getting a word from

  275. the prophet, from God, your dad go, you know, get

  276. it together, because this.

  277. Is it, all right?

  278. So this is what is here are the paradox here

  279. like this is you know, Bible's reality here.

  280. And this is what he said.

  281. And then it says, then Hezekiah turned his face toward

  282. the wall and prayed to the Lord, saying, remember, now, Lord,

  283. I pray, how I walk before you in truth with

  284. a loyal heart, and have done what was good in

  285. your sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly. And it happened before

  286. Isaiah had gone out in the middle court, that the

  287. word of the Lord Kingdom, saying, return and tell Hezekiah,

  288. the leader of my people. Thus says the Lord, God

  289. father of David, your father.

  290. I've heard your prayer, I've seen your tears. Surely I'll

  291. heal you.

  292. And on the third day you'll go to the house

  293. of the Lord. So Hezekiah gets gets a word. You're

  294. gonna die. He says this, you know, he begins to

  295. cry out to God and then the same the same

  296. prophet goes back to him. Okay, we're changing course here.

  297. Why because he prayed a lot of times. We accept

  298. that bad report. Okay, then, and what's the challenging is

  299. this bad report came from God. You're coming home and

  300. this guy's like, I don't want to.

  301. I'm not ready to.

  302. I said, got life to live, And God's like, okay,

  303. fifteen years.

  304. What are you accepting in your life that you need

  305. to do.

  306. You need to turn your face to the wall and

  307. cry out to God and shed some tears.

  308. Okay, because he has a he has another word for you. Okay.

  309. I really believe.

  310. There's many in this room this morning that God has

  311. has a new word for you. Somebody may have come

  312. to you and said, this is the Lord. It's awful,

  313. it's terrible, gloom, doom, all of that, all right?

  314. But but go to the wall and cry out, because

  315. God's gonna turn it around, all right.

  316. And so so Second Corinthians two fourteen says, now, thanks

  317. be to God who always leads us in triumph in

  318. Christ and threw us diffuse the fragrance of his knowledge

  319. in every place. Boy, winning smells good, Winny smells good. All.

  320. I remember, you know when when my husband and I

  321. we weren't married yet, we were attending Old Roberts University,

  322. finishing our last leg of education, and the Lord began

  323. to speak to us supernaturally. You're gonna go back to

  324. a church in Turlock. The church you were at that

  325. and it was the one that I did not like.

  326. And we were at this church, and he says, you're

  327. gonna go back to that church, and you're gonna pastor.

  328. Now keep in mind we were not married yet. Keep

  329. in mind I didn't like that church, all right, And

  330. and the Lord was like, like, you're both going back

  331. and you're gonna pastor that church.

  332. And so this is.

  333. The church that everybody said was the pastor's graveyard. The

  334. pastor's graveyard. Now I had a great history. Amy simple

  335. Macpherson came to Turlock. Can you believe that she did

  336. an evangelistic meeting there, and out of that meeting was

  337. birth the prayer meeting. And out of that prayer meeting

  338. was birth the church. Okay, the Pentecostal mission. And out

  339. of that Pentacot submission was birthed our church.

  340. And that was over like by the time when.

  341. We got there's about eighty years of history. And that

  342. church had massive revivals in the past. I mean David

  343. Yankee Choe, Paul Young GEcho, whatever his name is, well

  344. he preached there til Osborne and his wife Daisy preached it.

  345. They actually got married in our not married, they got

  346. engaged in our balcony. Okay, we had massive revivals and

  347. and so.

  348. This you know.

  349. But we got the church when it was on the downcline.

  350. It was on the downcline, and the pastors were not

  351. making it. Actually the pastor that we were under as

  352. associates on the the powers that be inside of the congregation,

  353. you know, the the demonized power mafia people individuals in

  354. there all right. So they actually put him in the

  355. hospital so many times with like stress, stress breakdowns. And

  356. then finally I remember when he left to go to

  357. Vegas and to the church that he had planted. He

  358. went there, and and then he gives us a phone

  359. call because he wasn't planning on coming back. And my

  360. husband and I ever ever told anybody that God had

  361. told us that we're gonna be the senior pastors there.

  362. But that's not how it's supposed to go.

  363. Okay, So we're entering into the pastor's graveyard at the

  364. word of the Lord, right at the word of the Lord. Okay,

  365. the rumor, the you know, the powers that be, the

  366. prayer people that make the decrease, you know, because they

  367. look and they observe what is and they call it

  368. a prophetic word.

  369. That's not a prophetic word. And so so.

  370. It's a pastor's graveyard, you know, And and nobody makes

  371. it here. And yet God had called us, and so

  372. we got we turned our face to the wall, and

  373. we begin to cry out, and God began to speak.

  374. He began to speak to us. You know, Jesus said,

  375. I only do what I see my father doing.

  376. What was that about?

  377. What that was about was he was praying, he was

  378. getting visions and what he's supposed to do that day,

  379. all right, and.

  380. Then back to the Lord's prayer. If we kept going.

  381. Versus eleven says, you know.

  382. Jesus said, prayed that I would give you a pray

  383. that I would give you your daily bread.

  384. Okay, and what is that about.

  385. It's not just bread, you know, provision for food and

  386. sustenance and all that. You know. I mean it is,

  387. but it has another layer of meaning that we are

  388. to pray for God to give us that bread, that

  389. word that leads us to provision. Right, And so we

  390. turned our face to the wall. We begin to cry

  391. out to God, and he began to speak to us, No,

  392. this is a life giving place.

  393. No, my power is gonna fall here, no, you know.

  394. And he began to tell us the exact opposite of

  395. what all the you know, the spiritual people were telling us.

  396. And so we had to begin to agree with God

  397. for his kingdom to come and his will to be

  398. done on earth as in heaven. But we would have

  399. ever even heard those things that God was saying. It

  400. was exact opposite of our situation. We would not have

  401. even heard those things if we had not had a

  402. prayer rhythm, if we didn't have our time of prayer.

  403. All right, so what is your prayer practice?

  404. What is your prayer habit. We need to have a

  405. habit of prayer. Maybe you have.

  406. One, but it's time to do something a little different

  407. out of the routine.

  408. I read a book called Lead with Prayer.

  409. It's a prayer book for leaders, and it gives all

  410. sorts of ways you can just you can just change

  411. the routine and begin to hear God from a different angle.

  412. You know, we're used to hearing them from one angle. Well,

  413. let's like turn over here.

  414. Maybe we're gonna hear them like a little differently, you know,

  415. or maybe we're getting a different posture, or maybe we

  416. can just change it up a little bit. You know,

  417. relationships go stale when you do the same thing all

  418. the time. So Hezekiah got a word from God. You're dead,

  419. he prays. God says you're gonna live.

  420. You've got it. It's such a crazy, crazy thing.

  421. And then and then I'll land with uh, just a

  422. summary of Second the second Second Samuel, No First Samuel,

  423. chapter one, and it's the story of Hannah. I love

  424. that story so much. And this is Hannah who can't

  425. have a baby, and why can't she have a baby?

  426. And it says right there, and you know, you can't

  427. argue the Bible, and this is not like for everybody,

  428. but this is what it says right there, and says

  429. that the Lord closed her womb, And so instantly Hannah

  430. is having a problem with God. Instantly an opportunity to

  431. be offended at the Lord because it's not happening in

  432. the way it should happen. God's the one who closed

  433. her womb. It's just it says it right there. You

  434. can't deny that. Then the second thing is she's got

  435. a sister wife that you know, just giving her a

  436. fist because the sister wife is is having babies all

  437. the time and not she's not having any. And so

  438. so anyway, so she has opportunity now to be mad

  439. at God and to be mad at family, disappointed at

  440. God and disappointed with the family because she's mean to me.

  441. This lady's mean to me every single day.

  442. And I got to look at her her face every day,

  443. and I'm tired of looking at her face and listen

  444. to her words.

  445. I'm tired of it, all right. And then the.

  446. Third thing is she goes she's she's still praying, She's

  447. still you know, she knows that her problem is with God.

  448. She's got a problem with God.

  449. There's a gap there, and she's still praying, and she

  450. goes to the temple. They go up once a year,

  451. the family does. She goes up once a year. And

  452. the problem is the priests of that temple. Back then,

  453. he was very corrupt. He had two corrupt sons that

  454. were just you know, just you know, off the charts corrupt,

  455. and he wasn't dealing with them, wasn't doing anything.

  456. And so he's corrupt, okay.

  457. And so she's there and she's at the temple and

  458. she's just praying her heart out. I mean, she's just

  459. like like, I don't know what to do. I'm not

  460. my last leg, you know, if you don't change this thing,

  461. I just can't go on. You know those you know,

  462. those do or die prayers. And so she's at that

  463. place and she's just muttering, muttering, muttering and talking, you

  464. know and whatever. And Eli's watching her and he's looking

  465. at her and he's like, why are you here drunk?

  466. Why are you here drunk? You want to know why?

  467. Because he's corrupt. Corrupt. People can't see purity.

  468. They can't okay, they will always put their lens on you.

  469. And so so anyway, he accuses her, and even then,

  470. even then, she still holds onto the prayer and she says,

  471. I'm not drunk, you know. And she tells him, I

  472. am praying for a child, and Eli says, oh, okay, well,

  473. this time next year he will come.

  474. The corrupt priest had the word of the Lord.

  475. I've seen it so many times actually in real life,

  476. and I'm just like, I have no idea how they

  477. called that out because they're in total sin.

  478. So I don't know what to say anyway.

  479. So so she h she had opportunity to shut it

  480. all down, you know. And I look at the story

  481. of Hezekiah, I look at the story of Hannah, and

  482. and then I look at some of the people who

  483. it's like the easiest little thing throws them off and

  484. they just stop. They stop going to church, they stop,

  485. you know, praying, They get disappointed in God.

  486. Okay, I mean little things, you know what I'm saying.

  487. And they don't realize that that what's behind their breakthrough

  488. is way more global and way more significant than they

  489. can imagine. You cannot run away from a challenge in

  490. your life and stop going after it. It's in your

  491. heart for a reason. The doors have shut for a reason. Okay,

  492. we don't recognize it when we're going after after it

  493. in prayer again and again and again and again, that

  494. the anointing and the the the power of God is

  495. building up more and more and more in our life.

  496. I know that I have six best selling books out there.

  497. Every single one of them came from came from stories

  498. and situations where things are not going well, every single

  499. one of them. How do you get a book, a

  500. book on prayer, the Intercession's town back. How do you

  501. get a book that's sold? You know, over ninety thousand copies.

  502. It's about ready to go into his fourth language from Turlock, California.

  503. It smells like cows. How does that happen? Because what

  504. you do in secret, God will reward you openly. Hear me, now,

  505. hear me, now, hear me now.

  506. Okay, so many of you you're calculating, And I understand

  507. this because I'm a very I'm I'm very how to

  508. explain it? Uh, Like, I see and I desern and

  509. all this stuff. I have a lot of that going

  510. on a lot of the time. At the same time,

  511. I'm like super rational and super calculating, So I fight

  512. internally with myself all the time.

  513. You know, I'm feeling.

  514. Something and then like my calculator goes up and I'm like,

  515. this doesn't make sense.

  516. I'm like, but it's the Lord, but I can't figure

  517. it out. But it's God, okay.

  518. And a constant battle in myself like that. And and

  519. so you know when I when I just look at

  520. the journey of where that that book it just got

  521. birth from breakthrough in a church that was a pastor's graveyard.

  522. And we figured out that the Ephesian six is real.

  523. Powers principalities might demanding that it's real. And we have

  524. to learn to hear the word of the Lord giving

  525. me this day my daily bread. I have to hear

  526. that word for the day, and which means I have

  527. to pray daily. I have to hear that word for

  528. the day and say and agree with what God is

  529. saying and let.

  530. It come out my mouth.

  531. And those simple little principles, simple little principles that are

  532. leading you to tremendous breakthrough. And here's where I want

  533. to stir the pot here in this room. Leading you

  534. to a tremendous breakthrough. You do not know what's on

  535. the other side of that breakthrough. You have no idea,

  536. what book is it is it going to go into.

  537. You have no idea what authority you are going to

  538. be granted because you took that excursion at the word

  539. of the Lord. I'll share a story of a friend

  540. of mine who lives in Texas and she and her

  541. husband pastoring like my husband and myself about the same length,

  542. and so she went to She said the Lord would

  543. give her these dreams and she needed to go to Europe.

  544. And she was She's one of those people that the

  545. Lord will tell her to go somewhere just to pray,

  546. like foreign countries. It's not vacation, and he would give

  547. her a word and to go over there and intercede

  548. and pray and all of that. And so she felt

  549. like she needed to go to Europe and go to

  550. a few countries, but specific specifically Italy. And when they went,

  551. it just happened to be when there was a present

  552. at the Colosseum of the deity Mullok and it was

  553. just right when she and her team were coming in Mullk.

  554. Some of you were like, what is Mulloch. Well, it's

  555. an ancient deity that was worshiped in that area and

  556. beyond and it's it's basically like the horns are coming

  557. out of the head and the arms were usually stretched out,

  558. and there was a hole here in the big statue

  559. of the Mullak god, so that you can give your

  560. babies into the fire in the stomach.

  561. Okay, that's Mullak right.

  562. And so this this deity, there's gonna be a Colosseum

  563. presentation of this deity. And she's like, we are going

  564. to the colisseum, told a prayer team, and they were

  565. gonna pray, and so she went there and just to

  566. just as condense the story, they went there. They weren't

  567. able to get in, but they were to They were

  568. able to find the approximate location of where the statue was,

  569. and so her and her team went outside of that

  570. little area and then they begin to pray all pray

  571. down all things Mullock. Okay, all child sacrifice, anything with

  572. baby sacrifice, anything with children.

  573. And they begin to pray down all things Mullock.

  574. Right.

  575. Her team was completely.

  576. Sick on the way into that prayer. I mean people

  577. stopped walking, they stopped, they started getting sick and nauseous

  578. and all of this stuff. It was crazy, but they

  579. finished and completed their intercession, and then they left Italy

  580. three days before COVID. She goes back to Lubbock, and

  581. this is on record. She goes back to Lubbock, Texas

  582. where they are pastoring, and a conversation begins to happen

  583. in the area. Can we be a sanctuary city for

  584. the unborn? Can we be a sanctuary city for the unborn?

  585. A conversation began to happen, and so the conversation began

  586. to get volume and begin to get traction, and by

  587. the time it was all said and done, there was

  588. a vote that took place, and it became the first

  589. city that actually had a planned parenthood, first city to

  590. become a sanctuary for the on board. Therefore, Planned Parenthood

  591. could not do abortions in her city anymore. Sometimes we

  592. don't know what is on the other side of it.

  593. She went to Italy at the word of the Lord,

  594. pretty big stuff. Just prayed about a statue. Okay, prayed

  595. about a statue. God says, you know, this is what

  596. you're doing. Pray about a statue, gained authority and took

  597. it back home and kicked it out of her city.

  598. You don't know what's on the other side of it.

  599. Don't be such a whimp and get offended and stop praying.

  600. Get some get some internal muscle, get you get your

  601. life muscles, and and even if somebody comes after you

  602. who says, well, it's God. God did this to you. Hezekiah,

  603. that's that's what his word was. And he just went

  604. back to God and said, this is not going. This

  605. is not where we're going to be going.

  606. Okay.

  607. Hannah was like, I know the Lord closed my one,

  608. but you know what, I'm just gonna keep after him

  609. until he gives me what I want. If it's in

  610. the book, it's yours. This is turn around prayer. This

  611. is turned around prayer. I my message from in the

  612. morning is completely different than than with you. I think

  613. that's very interesting. I can I invite you to stand.

  614. I'm like going, I have a flight. Yeah, we're no,

  615. we're good. We're all good. I've done this before, flown

  616. out of the country. All right, let's get some let's

  617. get some music up here. A man, I want to

  618. there's people in here, and I know as being sassy

  619. and I was pushing your buttons and stuff, but I

  620. do have compassion, and I know that the reason we

  621. stop praying for certain these is because we're just.

  622. Like burnt up or hurt.

  623. It just you know, like's there's just a reason or

  624. we got disappointed and we haven't been able to reconcile it.

  625. But I feel the invitation for you today to come

  626. back into the arena of prayer over that thing. Okay,

  627. come back into it. And we said, what do I

  628. have to do? You need to actually get before God

  629. and confess your disappointment, your offense, whatever it is, and

  630. get before God and begin to talk to him and say, okay,

  631. I'm here, based on Matthew six says come to you

  632. and ask you to give me my daily bread, and

  633. I'm here for my daily bread?

  634. What do you have to say about it?

  635. And begin to get that word back, begin to get

  636. that word to come to him again. It's okay to

  637. tell God you're disappointed. We just don't want to stay there, right,

  638. We want to out of that. So I feel for

  639. this service that we want to make this space more

  640. of an alter I know you have a prayer team

  641. and they could support how they think they should, but

  642. make this more of an altar and where we we

  643. just begin to to to get back, where we begin

  644. to get unstuck where we have been stuck in that area.

  645. So if that's you're gonna invite you just to come

  646. make an alter, make a space here. I think it's

  647. good to get out of your seat. You're basically kind

  648. of you're making a statement. You're just like, you know,

  649. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna stay there. I'm gonna

  650. stay in this situation. I'm gonna stay I'm not gonna

  651. have my heart like this anymore. I'm not gonna do

  652. that anymore. I'm just gonna get honest with God about it.

  653. And you can.

  654. You can get on your knees, you can stand up,

  655. you can whatever.

  656. You know. This is you and God, whatever you want

  657. to do. But I'm gonna invite you.

  658. If that is you, If that is you, some of you,

  659. you've given up on your children. Never give up on

  660. the child. Never ever ever give up on a child. Okay,

  661. even if they're acting horrible. Okay, you're like their last intercessor.

  662. Trust me.

  663. Thank you, Jesus, thank you, Jesus, Thank you, Lauren, thank you, Jesus.

  664. Your thing, thank you, Jesus. It's somebody else, it's anybody else.

  665. If there's a prayer team, that you're available and you're

  666. not down here doing business with God. If you want

  667. to come behind him and support any of them, that

  668. would be fantastic.

  669. That'd be fabulous. But Lord, I just bring every person

  670. here to you.

  671. And Lord, today is a day of taking that prayer

  672. back and picking it back up again. We confess or

  673. disapp appointment. We confess our offense. And Lord, we ask

  674. you today for this word, give us this day our

  675. daily bread, that word that we can begin to proclaim, declare, decree.

  676. Prophesy, that word.

  677. That brings your kingdom and causes your kingdom to come.

  678. On earth as it is in heaven.

  679. We thank you, Heavenly Father, that you are God of

  680. the impossible, and that there is a whole other level

  681. of faith coming into this house for the impossible.

  682. What can this city be known for? What can this

  683. region be known for?

  684. What breakthrough is going to be in this city that's

  685. going to impact the earth? What breakthrough is going to

  686. be in our lives as a church, as a people

  687. of God that's going to shout a breakthrough into the earth.

  688. What are we going to release into the atmosphere that

  689. God can use to bring breakthrough into other houses of

  690. worship what's gonna happen. Don't count yourself out, because God

  691. just needs one to change a nation.

  692. Amen. Lord, we just thank you, we praise you, we

  693. magnify you this morning. You are good. You are good. Lord,

  694. you are good.

  695. And this is gonna be my final thing before I

  696. turn it over. If you are here today and you

  697. have not yet given your life to Jesus, my story

  698. is just like yours.

  699. I'm in a church.

  700. I don't know why I am there, and they invite

  701. me to give my life to Christ and I say yes.

  702. If that's you today, on.

  703. The count of three, I'm gonna invite you to lift

  704. your hand.

  705. I'm not going to embarrass you.

  706. I'm not gonna call you out, but I am gonna

  707. pray with you. And if that's you and you want

  708. to give your life to Jesus, don't wait on this.

  709. You may not have another day. Just give your life

  710. to Him now.

  711. On the count of three, one, two, three, just raise

  712. your hand and say I want to give my life

  713. to Jesus.

  714. Yes, I want to get Yes, I want to give

  715. my life to Jesus. I see people in this room

  716. giving their life to Him. Amen. Amen, come on, let's

  717. give Jesus praise, Amen,
