-
I am so glad to be here. Now, let me
-
see again, how many of you been to Turlock? Well,
-
let me see over here. Oh my gosh, that's incredible.
-
I hope to see you again soon. It nice to just,
-
you know, be able to go back and forth. My
-
notes just went off. I hate that when that happens.
-
I'm all ready to preach of my notes. There it is,
-
they're back, thank god. A couple of things I could
-
tell about this church, just because my husband and I
-
have been in ministry for.
-
Close to thirty years now.
-
Yeah, same place too, so we're just putting it, put
-
down roots and we just expand out. It's been our
-
m But one of these I could tell about this
-
church and your pestors is I know a place where
-
there's things that I'm noticing in the body price now
-
is there's pastors that have been in ministry now for
-
a long time and they have done well. And your
-
pastors are reflecting longevity that you need to pay attention to,
-
longevity of relationship, longevity of ministry and just being solid.
-
And that is like you don't realize what it's like
-
to either lose your pastor or not have a church
-
to go to because there really isn't a good solid
-
leader in the area. So you need to like like
-
double triple, quadruple your honor for your pastor's pastor Joanne
-
and Joel in the house. And I can also tell
-
there's prayer here, and I can tell there's a generous
-
spirit here.
-
And those are just.
-
Little things that I can tell because longevity has qualifications.
-
So there's qualifiers on the longevity and the staying power
-
of certain people, and they will always have certain characteristics
-
and so I just want to acknowledge that. And I'm
-
enjoying a handful of friends now that they're just like
-
your pastors there. They're just been in ministry for a
-
long time. So trust me, this is not normal. It
-
is not like the going story out there.
-
But I believe God has has UH.
-
He's creating something that we that we can look to
-
and and learn from because we want to be finishers
-
and we want to finish well.
-
Amen.
-
Amen, all right, I have a few books that I'd
-
like to give out to you. I noticed this cause
-
a little different, so I picked up some different books.
-
This is about the UH, the gift of decerning spirits.
-
I was so honored to be able to break open
-
language for this because when it came on my life,
-
it came on a super strong and nobody could really
-
tell me much about it back then, and so I
-
had to. I had to hammer out language, plain language
-
for people who were feeling things, seeing things, hearing things,
-
tasting things. Because a gift from God should not operate
-
through your senses, it should operate through your mind. Nope,
-
that's not how this one works. It operates your senses.
-
You get information about what spirit is behind pretty much
-
anything by what you feel, see, taste, a sense.
-
And it's a very unusual gift.
-
And if you don't know you have it, you think
-
you're going crazy because you were normal until you stepped
-
into that room, and then all of a sudden you're
-
losing it.
-
And then you leave that room and you're back to
-
yourself again. What was that? The gift of descerning the spirits?
-
Holy Spirit gave you information for the purpose of prayer
-
and ministry and all of that. If you have this
-
gift and you're struggling with it, raise your hand. I
-
want to give this book to you right here, ma'am. Okay,
-
she's right there. Okay, thank you so much. Okay, and
-
I'll shorten up my little commercial here Awaken the Dreamscape.
-
There's just a whole big history of how this book
-
was birth. It was birth out of Australia actually, and
-
the indigenous Aboriginals there they are dreamers like crazy. It's
-
like a whole dream visionary realm out there. Sadly, ancient
-
deities got into that realm and took possession of those
-
tribes and they worshiped deities from that realm. But I
-
believe God's kicking them out and that He's taken back
-
the dreamscape. Anyway, this is the book about dreams, supernatural dreams.
-
It has some instruction on how to interpret your dreams.
-
If you're a dreamer, you don't know what to do
-
with it. Who would like this book?
-
Right, do we hear? Yes?
-
You?
-
Yes? Right?
-
Yeah, come on and get the book or somebody's got
-
to give it to her because I'm not going down there.
-
All right, all right, thank you? Okay, let's see here
-
we're I was going. Well, let me start. Is there
-
a few names here? Since I get names of people
-
and I want to check make sure am I hearing God?
-
Am I not? Sometimes I'm wrong?
-
Is there a stacy or and or a Nadine here.
-
Stacy, or a Nadine Stacy?
-
Is there a Nadine here Nadine n A D I
-
N E. Is that like your mom or something? Nadine? Okay, Stacy,
-
all right, your name dropped in my heart this morning
-
and I was like, it's not the first service I
-
knew that. Okay, would you mind coming forward since there's
-
since there's a camera on us, would it bother you
-
too much to come up here?
-
Because the only.
-
Reason there's a camera and I'm not going to make
-
a big show. Don't worry. One of the things I
-
feel that God wants to assure you of that his
-
plans and purposes are not going to be thwarted in
-
your life. That everything He designed for you and intended
-
for you to do with Him in partnership with Him
-
in the earth, that this is going to come to pass.
-
It doesn't matter if someone betrays you. It doesn't matter
-
if someone leaves you. It doesn't matter if somebody doesn't
-
agree with you. It doesn't matter if somebody persecutes you.
-
It doesn't matter if a whole army persecutes you, a
-
whole group of people persecute you, and doesn't.
-
Go with it.
-
But there is a clear cut assignment just for you
-
on your life. There's beauty all over it, and there's
-
a clear cut assignment. Your voice is going to go
-
into places and you're gonna speak into subjects and topics,
-
and you're gonna give truth and you're gonna say this
-
is what needs to happen here and there is no
-
other way. And you're gonna stand your ground against opposition.
-
And God's got your back. The angels have been a sign,
-
and you're gonna accomplish everything he has designed for you
-
to do in Jesus name.
-
Amen, A mad God bless you.
-
Okay, I'm not going to read the whole thing, but
-
I'm gonna give you just a short summary of it
-
because I need to go a few different areas in
-
this service. So I've been talking about Matthew chapter six,
-
and this is when the disciples they approached Jesus and said,
-
teach us how to pray. And what we believe the
-
reason behind that was because Jesus was walking in power.
-
How many say, Jesus.
-
Was walking in power, Amen, And it was power they
-
had not seen in front of their own eyes before,
-
and it mesmerized them. They caught their attention, and they
-
took note that Jesus, even though he was fully God,
-
but he laid that down so he can walk amongst
-
us as an example, an anointed man of God. But
-
he was fully God. But nevertheless, he still prayed. He
-
was one who prayed, and he prayed a lot. And
-
there was there's hints in the book of Hebrews of
-
the sound of prayer that would come out of him.
-
And he would, I mean, he would shout. There were
-
shrieks coming out of him. He was an intercessor. Okay,
-
he ever lives to make intercession for us. He's praying
-
for us now. And if and if you're ever one, okay,
-
if you are prayed for. I can't tell you how
-
many times I've woken up in the night knowing I'm
-
praying for somebody. I don't even know who they are,
-
all right, And I think He's got us covered. That's
-
basically what I'm trying to get to you. And so
-
they took notice of his prayer and his intercession and
-
his communion with God the Father and his heavenly Father,
-
and they said, teach us how to pray. And this
-
is where we begin to unfold the Lord's prayer. You
-
know our father, who are in heaven. Hell will be
-
your name.
-
You know it.
-
Your kingdom, calm, you will be done on earth as
-
it is in heaven. Do you know this word? Give
-
us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our deaths.
-
Let's say it together, as we forgive our debtors. Do
-
not lead us into temptation. Deliver us from the evil
-
one for yours as a kingdom and the power and
-
the glory forever.
-
Amen. Now many of us we recite that.
-
We use it as communion in our personal time of prayer,
-
and we say it from A to Z. It's all good,
-
it's great, it's it's a beautiful piece of meditative peace
-
that we utilize. Nevertheless, each little line in here is
-
a teaching point, you know, if you can actually break
-
it down, and it is a full on teaching point.
-
Let me give you an example, verse ten, Your Kingdom Come,
-
you will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Well,
-
when we read that, you know we love the concept
-
on earth as it is in heaven. But what is
-
Jesus telling them saying, this is what you need to pray.
-
You need to pray the things of the Kingdom, the
-
will of God. You need to pray it and pray
-
for it to come and for God's will to be done.
-
Because the inference is if you don't pray it in,
-
it doesn't happen. That's a hard truth for us. If
-
you don't pray it in, it doesn't happen. And why
-
is that a hard truthless because we don't think that
-
God even pays attention to us. We don't consider ourselves
-
of any value, any worth that He would actually hear
-
our voice. And that is absolutely not true. First of all,
-
you have been made in the image of God. You've
-
been created in the image of God. This is why
-
the devil hates you. That's the only reason he hates you,
-
because when he sees you, he sees a reflection of
-
the one that's gonna take him out, all right, And
-
so you've been made in the image of God.
-
Furthermore, in the Book of Revelation.
-
Not only were you created in the image of God,
-
you were also created to be a king and a priest.
-
Talk about authority, friends, You've been made these things.
-
And then he's saying, this is how you pray.
-
Because there is a heaven to Earth's connection with a
-
voice of one who looks like God is created in
-
his image, being made a king and a priest, beings
-
to call forth the will of God on earth. Then
-
he partners, he partners with our voice, okay, to release
-
the things of the kingdom into this earth.
-
It all goes back to who did he give this
-
earth to you and I in Jesus' name?
-
And so this whole thing where I'm just you know,
-
I'm just gonna rely on the grace of God. I
-
don't need to pray, and I don't ever need to pray. It,
-
don't ever need to give my voice to God. Jesus
-
prayed if you're gonna be praying too, And so I
-
want to encourage you first and foremost personally that you
-
need to have a rhythm of prayer.
-
What is your rhythm of prayer? Now?
-
I would recommend that you have a set time each
-
and every morning, no matter what happens, you have that
-
set time. If you are a new mom and you
-
got babies, little babies, okay, you're gonna have windows of times.
-
You're gonna have pockets, but use those pockets, all right.
-
But that's usually the season where you have to make
-
an adjustment but outside of that, have that set time.
-
I know, for myself, I travel all over the globe.
-
It doesn't matter what's going on in my life. There
-
is a set time and prayer in my household. In
-
my household, my husband's getting up, I'm getting up. Our
-
eyes are blinking, and you know, we're doing this and
-
we're getting our coffee and you know, and we're getting
-
and we're starting to pray. Our children have watched us
-
pray every single morning, every single day, and so we
-
want to have a personal rhythm of prayer. I woke
-
up on January first, twenty five out of a dream,
-
one of those dreams. It's real, you know, it has
-
that realistic quality to it. And I was in a
-
prayer meeting in that dream. It's not like me to
-
have a dream about a prayer meeting, but I was
-
in a prayer meeting. And I woke up out of
-
the dream with the spirit of prayer on me, spirit
-
of intercession on me.
-
I said, what's going on this year? Lord? You know?
-
And I have just felt a call to deepen my
-
prayer life. And it's not because I was doing something wrong.
-
It was just there's a call for greater communion. There's
-
a call for depth, there's a call to change my routine,
-
and so I made some decisions to to you know,
-
add in some more windows of time during the week
-
per se. And then I'm also just taking some time
-
when I can to have some.
-
A personal prayer retreat. It's like overnight.
-
Okay, I go to this what's called the Home of
-
Peace in Oakland, California. That is a healing home from
-
the a century ago and all the all the great
-
healers used to stay there. It's a mansion and if
-
you're a minister or a missionary, they'll give you a room.
-
And you can get a room there. Okay, So it's
-
like going to your great grandma's house and so so anyway,
-
and it's in Oakland, California, and it's a beautiful ground.
-
You go two blocks over. Sadly, everybody gives you the
-
side eye, but you go back into the Home of
-
Peace and His peace.
-
Amen. All right. Oakland's notorious.
-
All the a lot of great preachers preached there, but
-
they all crush. There's many that Christian burned there. So
-
this house is like a statement of longevity. We're still here.
-
The healing home is still here amen, all right. So
-
what I wanted to get to you is they wanted
-
to get to Second Kings, Chapter twenty, verse one to five.
-
And this is about Heekiah.
-
It says, in those days Isekiah was sick and near death,
-
and Isaiah the prophet, Now Isaiah, we respect.
-
Isaiah right like Isaiya. He's he's the guy.
-
Isaiah the Prophet went to him and said, thus says
-
the Lord set your house in order, you shall die
-
and not live. There's nothing like getting a word from
-
the prophet, from God, your dad go, you know, get
-
it together, because this.
-
Is it, all right?
-
So this is what is here are the paradox here
-
like this is you know, Bible's reality here.
-
And this is what he said.
-
And then it says, then Hezekiah turned his face toward
-
the wall and prayed to the Lord, saying, remember, now, Lord,
-
I pray, how I walk before you in truth with
-
a loyal heart, and have done what was good in
-
your sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly. And it happened before
-
Isaiah had gone out in the middle court, that the
-
word of the Lord Kingdom, saying, return and tell Hezekiah,
-
the leader of my people. Thus says the Lord, God
-
father of David, your father.
-
I've heard your prayer, I've seen your tears. Surely I'll
-
heal you.
-
And on the third day you'll go to the house
-
of the Lord. So Hezekiah gets gets a word. You're
-
gonna die. He says this, you know, he begins to
-
cry out to God and then the same the same
-
prophet goes back to him. Okay, we're changing course here.
-
Why because he prayed a lot of times. We accept
-
that bad report. Okay, then, and what's the challenging is
-
this bad report came from God. You're coming home and
-
this guy's like, I don't want to.
-
I'm not ready to.
-
I said, got life to live, And God's like, okay,
-
fifteen years.
-
What are you accepting in your life that you need
-
to do.
-
You need to turn your face to the wall and
-
cry out to God and shed some tears.
-
Okay, because he has a he has another word for you. Okay.
-
I really believe.
-
There's many in this room this morning that God has
-
has a new word for you. Somebody may have come
-
to you and said, this is the Lord. It's awful,
-
it's terrible, gloom, doom, all of that, all right?
-
But but go to the wall and cry out, because
-
God's gonna turn it around, all right.
-
And so so Second Corinthians two fourteen says, now, thanks
-
be to God who always leads us in triumph in
-
Christ and threw us diffuse the fragrance of his knowledge
-
in every place. Boy, winning smells good, Winny smells good. All.
-
I remember, you know when when my husband and I
-
we weren't married yet, we were attending Old Roberts University,
-
finishing our last leg of education, and the Lord began
-
to speak to us supernaturally. You're gonna go back to
-
a church in Turlock. The church you were at that
-
and it was the one that I did not like.
-
And we were at this church, and he says, you're
-
gonna go back to that church, and you're gonna pastor.
-
Now keep in mind we were not married yet. Keep
-
in mind I didn't like that church, all right, And
-
and the Lord was like, like, you're both going back
-
and you're gonna pastor that church.
-
And so this is.
-
The church that everybody said was the pastor's graveyard. The
-
pastor's graveyard. Now I had a great history. Amy simple
-
Macpherson came to Turlock. Can you believe that she did
-
an evangelistic meeting there, and out of that meeting was
-
birth the prayer meeting. And out of that prayer meeting
-
was birth the church. Okay, the Pentecostal mission. And out
-
of that Pentacot submission was birthed our church.
-
And that was over like by the time when.
-
We got there's about eighty years of history. And that
-
church had massive revivals in the past. I mean David
-
Yankee Choe, Paul Young GEcho, whatever his name is, well
-
he preached there til Osborne and his wife Daisy preached it.
-
They actually got married in our not married, they got
-
engaged in our balcony. Okay, we had massive revivals and
-
and so.
-
This you know.
-
But we got the church when it was on the downcline.
-
It was on the downcline, and the pastors were not
-
making it. Actually the pastor that we were under as
-
associates on the the powers that be inside of the congregation,
-
you know, the the demonized power mafia people individuals in
-
there all right. So they actually put him in the
-
hospital so many times with like stress, stress breakdowns. And
-
then finally I remember when he left to go to
-
Vegas and to the church that he had planted. He
-
went there, and and then he gives us a phone
-
call because he wasn't planning on coming back. And my
-
husband and I ever ever told anybody that God had
-
told us that we're gonna be the senior pastors there.
-
But that's not how it's supposed to go.
-
Okay, So we're entering into the pastor's graveyard at the
-
word of the Lord, right at the word of the Lord. Okay,
-
the rumor, the you know, the powers that be, the
-
prayer people that make the decrease, you know, because they
-
look and they observe what is and they call it
-
a prophetic word.
-
That's not a prophetic word. And so so.
-
It's a pastor's graveyard, you know, And and nobody makes
-
it here. And yet God had called us, and so
-
we got we turned our face to the wall, and
-
we begin to cry out, and God began to speak.
-
He began to speak to us. You know, Jesus said,
-
I only do what I see my father doing.
-
What was that about?
-
What that was about was he was praying, he was
-
getting visions and what he's supposed to do that day,
-
all right, and.
-
Then back to the Lord's prayer. If we kept going.
-
Versus eleven says, you know.
-
Jesus said, prayed that I would give you a pray
-
that I would give you your daily bread.
-
Okay, and what is that about.
-
It's not just bread, you know, provision for food and
-
sustenance and all that. You know. I mean it is,
-
but it has another layer of meaning that we are
-
to pray for God to give us that bread, that
-
word that leads us to provision. Right, And so we
-
turned our face to the wall. We begin to cry
-
out to God, and he began to speak to us, No,
-
this is a life giving place.
-
No, my power is gonna fall here, no, you know.
-
And he began to tell us the exact opposite of
-
what all the you know, the spiritual people were telling us.
-
And so we had to begin to agree with God
-
for his kingdom to come and his will to be
-
done on earth as in heaven. But we would have
-
ever even heard those things that God was saying. It
-
was exact opposite of our situation. We would not have
-
even heard those things if we had not had a
-
prayer rhythm, if we didn't have our time of prayer.
-
All right, so what is your prayer practice?
-
What is your prayer habit. We need to have a
-
habit of prayer. Maybe you have.
-
One, but it's time to do something a little different
-
out of the routine.
-
I read a book called Lead with Prayer.
-
It's a prayer book for leaders, and it gives all
-
sorts of ways you can just you can just change
-
the routine and begin to hear God from a different angle.
-
You know, we're used to hearing them from one angle. Well,
-
let's like turn over here.
-
Maybe we're gonna hear them like a little differently, you know,
-
or maybe we're getting a different posture, or maybe we
-
can just change it up a little bit. You know,
-
relationships go stale when you do the same thing all
-
the time. So Hezekiah got a word from God. You're dead,
-
he prays. God says you're gonna live.
-
You've got it. It's such a crazy, crazy thing.
-
And then and then I'll land with uh, just a
-
summary of Second the second Second Samuel, No First Samuel,
-
chapter one, and it's the story of Hannah. I love
-
that story so much. And this is Hannah who can't
-
have a baby, and why can't she have a baby?
-
And it says right there, and you know, you can't
-
argue the Bible, and this is not like for everybody,
-
but this is what it says right there, and says
-
that the Lord closed her womb, And so instantly Hannah
-
is having a problem with God. Instantly an opportunity to
-
be offended at the Lord because it's not happening in
-
the way it should happen. God's the one who closed
-
her womb. It's just it says it right there. You
-
can't deny that. Then the second thing is she's got
-
a sister wife that you know, just giving her a
-
fist because the sister wife is is having babies all
-
the time and not she's not having any. And so
-
so anyway, so she has opportunity now to be mad
-
at God and to be mad at family, disappointed at
-
God and disappointed with the family because she's mean to me.
-
This lady's mean to me every single day.
-
And I got to look at her her face every day,
-
and I'm tired of looking at her face and listen
-
to her words.
-
I'm tired of it, all right. And then the.
-
Third thing is she goes she's she's still praying, She's
-
still you know, she knows that her problem is with God.
-
She's got a problem with God.
-
There's a gap there, and she's still praying, and she
-
goes to the temple. They go up once a year,
-
the family does. She goes up once a year. And
-
the problem is the priests of that temple. Back then,
-
he was very corrupt. He had two corrupt sons that
-
were just you know, just you know, off the charts corrupt,
-
and he wasn't dealing with them, wasn't doing anything.
-
And so he's corrupt, okay.
-
And so she's there and she's at the temple and
-
she's just praying her heart out. I mean, she's just
-
like like, I don't know what to do. I'm not
-
my last leg, you know, if you don't change this thing,
-
I just can't go on. You know those you know,
-
those do or die prayers. And so she's at that
-
place and she's just muttering, muttering, muttering and talking, you
-
know and whatever. And Eli's watching her and he's looking
-
at her and he's like, why are you here drunk?
-
Why are you here drunk? You want to know why?
-
Because he's corrupt. Corrupt. People can't see purity.
-
They can't okay, they will always put their lens on you.
-
And so so anyway, he accuses her, and even then,
-
even then, she still holds onto the prayer and she says,
-
I'm not drunk, you know. And she tells him, I
-
am praying for a child, and Eli says, oh, okay, well,
-
this time next year he will come.
-
The corrupt priest had the word of the Lord.
-
I've seen it so many times actually in real life,
-
and I'm just like, I have no idea how they
-
called that out because they're in total sin.
-
So I don't know what to say anyway.
-
So so she h she had opportunity to shut it
-
all down, you know. And I look at the story
-
of Hezekiah, I look at the story of Hannah, and
-
and then I look at some of the people who
-
it's like the easiest little thing throws them off and
-
they just stop. They stop going to church, they stop,
-
you know, praying, They get disappointed in God.
-
Okay, I mean little things, you know what I'm saying.
-
And they don't realize that that what's behind their breakthrough
-
is way more global and way more significant than they
-
can imagine. You cannot run away from a challenge in
-
your life and stop going after it. It's in your
-
heart for a reason. The doors have shut for a reason. Okay,
-
we don't recognize it when we're going after after it
-
in prayer again and again and again and again, that
-
the anointing and the the the power of God is
-
building up more and more and more in our life.
-
I know that I have six best selling books out there.
-
Every single one of them came from came from stories
-
and situations where things are not going well, every single
-
one of them. How do you get a book, a
-
book on prayer, the Intercession's town back. How do you
-
get a book that's sold? You know, over ninety thousand copies.
-
It's about ready to go into his fourth language from Turlock, California.
-
It smells like cows. How does that happen? Because what
-
you do in secret, God will reward you openly. Hear me, now,
-
hear me, now, hear me now.
-
Okay, so many of you you're calculating, And I understand
-
this because I'm a very I'm I'm very how to
-
explain it? Uh, Like, I see and I desern and
-
all this stuff. I have a lot of that going
-
on a lot of the time. At the same time,
-
I'm like super rational and super calculating, So I fight
-
internally with myself all the time.
-
You know, I'm feeling.
-
Something and then like my calculator goes up and I'm like,
-
this doesn't make sense.
-
I'm like, but it's the Lord, but I can't figure
-
it out. But it's God, okay.
-
And a constant battle in myself like that. And and
-
so you know when I when I just look at
-
the journey of where that that book it just got
-
birth from breakthrough in a church that was a pastor's graveyard.
-
And we figured out that the Ephesian six is real.
-
Powers principalities might demanding that it's real. And we have
-
to learn to hear the word of the Lord giving
-
me this day my daily bread. I have to hear
-
that word for the day, and which means I have
-
to pray daily. I have to hear that word for
-
the day and say and agree with what God is
-
saying and let.
-
It come out my mouth.
-
And those simple little principles, simple little principles that are
-
leading you to tremendous breakthrough. And here's where I want
-
to stir the pot here in this room. Leading you
-
to a tremendous breakthrough. You do not know what's on
-
the other side of that breakthrough. You have no idea,
-
what book is it is it going to go into.
-
You have no idea what authority you are going to
-
be granted because you took that excursion at the word
-
of the Lord. I'll share a story of a friend
-
of mine who lives in Texas and she and her
-
husband pastoring like my husband and myself about the same length,
-
and so she went to She said the Lord would
-
give her these dreams and she needed to go to Europe.
-
And she was She's one of those people that the
-
Lord will tell her to go somewhere just to pray,
-
like foreign countries. It's not vacation, and he would give
-
her a word and to go over there and intercede
-
and pray and all of that. And so she felt
-
like she needed to go to Europe and go to
-
a few countries, but specific specifically Italy. And when they went,
-
it just happened to be when there was a present
-
at the Colosseum of the deity Mullok and it was
-
just right when she and her team were coming in Mullk.
-
Some of you were like, what is Mulloch. Well, it's
-
an ancient deity that was worshiped in that area and
-
beyond and it's it's basically like the horns are coming
-
out of the head and the arms were usually stretched out,
-
and there was a hole here in the big statue
-
of the Mullak god, so that you can give your
-
babies into the fire in the stomach.
-
Okay, that's Mullak right.
-
And so this this deity, there's gonna be a Colosseum
-
presentation of this deity. And she's like, we are going
-
to the colisseum, told a prayer team, and they were
-
gonna pray, and so she went there and just to
-
just as condense the story, they went there. They weren't
-
able to get in, but they were to They were
-
able to find the approximate location of where the statue was,
-
and so her and her team went outside of that
-
little area and then they begin to pray all pray
-
down all things Mullock. Okay, all child sacrifice, anything with
-
baby sacrifice, anything with children.
-
And they begin to pray down all things Mullock.
-
Right.
-
Her team was completely.
-
Sick on the way into that prayer. I mean people
-
stopped walking, they stopped, they started getting sick and nauseous
-
and all of this stuff. It was crazy, but they
-
finished and completed their intercession, and then they left Italy
-
three days before COVID. She goes back to Lubbock, and
-
this is on record. She goes back to Lubbock, Texas
-
where they are pastoring, and a conversation begins to happen
-
in the area. Can we be a sanctuary city for
-
the unborn? Can we be a sanctuary city for the unborn?
-
A conversation began to happen, and so the conversation began
-
to get volume and begin to get traction, and by
-
the time it was all said and done, there was
-
a vote that took place, and it became the first
-
city that actually had a planned parenthood, first city to
-
become a sanctuary for the on board. Therefore, Planned Parenthood
-
could not do abortions in her city anymore. Sometimes we
-
don't know what is on the other side of it.
-
She went to Italy at the word of the Lord,
-
pretty big stuff. Just prayed about a statue. Okay, prayed
-
about a statue. God says, you know, this is what
-
you're doing. Pray about a statue, gained authority and took
-
it back home and kicked it out of her city.
-
You don't know what's on the other side of it.
-
Don't be such a whimp and get offended and stop praying.
-
Get some get some internal muscle, get you get your
-
life muscles, and and even if somebody comes after you
-
who says, well, it's God. God did this to you. Hezekiah,
-
that's that's what his word was. And he just went
-
back to God and said, this is not going. This
-
is not where we're going to be going.
-
Okay.
-
Hannah was like, I know the Lord closed my one,
-
but you know what, I'm just gonna keep after him
-
until he gives me what I want. If it's in
-
the book, it's yours. This is turn around prayer. This
-
is turned around prayer. I my message from in the
-
morning is completely different than than with you. I think
-
that's very interesting. I can I invite you to stand.
-
I'm like going, I have a flight. Yeah, we're no,
-
we're good. We're all good. I've done this before, flown
-
out of the country. All right, let's get some let's
-
get some music up here. A man, I want to
-
there's people in here, and I know as being sassy
-
and I was pushing your buttons and stuff, but I
-
do have compassion, and I know that the reason we
-
stop praying for certain these is because we're just.
-
Like burnt up or hurt.
-
It just you know, like's there's just a reason or
-
we got disappointed and we haven't been able to reconcile it.
-
But I feel the invitation for you today to come
-
back into the arena of prayer over that thing. Okay,
-
come back into it. And we said, what do I
-
have to do? You need to actually get before God
-
and confess your disappointment, your offense, whatever it is, and
-
get before God and begin to talk to him and say, okay,
-
I'm here, based on Matthew six says come to you
-
and ask you to give me my daily bread, and
-
I'm here for my daily bread?
-
What do you have to say about it?
-
And begin to get that word back, begin to get
-
that word to come to him again. It's okay to
-
tell God you're disappointed. We just don't want to stay there, right,
-
We want to out of that. So I feel for
-
this service that we want to make this space more
-
of an alter I know you have a prayer team
-
and they could support how they think they should, but
-
make this more of an altar and where we we
-
just begin to to to get back, where we begin
-
to get unstuck where we have been stuck in that area.
-
So if that's you're gonna invite you just to come
-
make an alter, make a space here. I think it's
-
good to get out of your seat. You're basically kind
-
of you're making a statement. You're just like, you know,
-
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna stay there. I'm gonna
-
stay in this situation. I'm gonna stay I'm not gonna
-
have my heart like this anymore. I'm not gonna do
-
that anymore. I'm just gonna get honest with God about it.
-
And you can.
-
You can get on your knees, you can stand up,
-
you can whatever.
-
You know. This is you and God, whatever you want
-
to do. But I'm gonna invite you.
-
If that is you, If that is you, some of you,
-
you've given up on your children. Never give up on
-
the child. Never ever ever give up on a child. Okay,
-
even if they're acting horrible. Okay, you're like their last intercessor.
-
Trust me.
-
Thank you, Jesus, thank you, Jesus, Thank you, Lauren, thank you, Jesus.
-
Your thing, thank you, Jesus. It's somebody else, it's anybody else.
-
If there's a prayer team, that you're available and you're
-
not down here doing business with God. If you want
-
to come behind him and support any of them, that
-
would be fantastic.
-
That'd be fabulous. But Lord, I just bring every person
-
here to you.
-
And Lord, today is a day of taking that prayer
-
back and picking it back up again. We confess or
-
disapp appointment. We confess our offense. And Lord, we ask
-
you today for this word, give us this day our
-
daily bread, that word that we can begin to proclaim, declare, decree.
-
Prophesy, that word.
-
That brings your kingdom and causes your kingdom to come.
-
On earth as it is in heaven.
-
We thank you, Heavenly Father, that you are God of
-
the impossible, and that there is a whole other level
-
of faith coming into this house for the impossible.
-
What can this city be known for? What can this
-
region be known for?
-
What breakthrough is going to be in this city that's
-
going to impact the earth? What breakthrough is going to
-
be in our lives as a church, as a people
-
of God that's going to shout a breakthrough into the earth.
-
What are we going to release into the atmosphere that
-
God can use to bring breakthrough into other houses of
-
worship what's gonna happen. Don't count yourself out, because God
-
just needs one to change a nation.
-
Amen. Lord, we just thank you, we praise you, we
-
magnify you this morning. You are good. You are good. Lord,
-
you are good.
-
And this is gonna be my final thing before I
-
turn it over. If you are here today and you
-
have not yet given your life to Jesus, my story
-
is just like yours.
-
I'm in a church.
-
I don't know why I am there, and they invite
-
me to give my life to Christ and I say yes.
-
If that's you today, on.
-
The count of three, I'm gonna invite you to lift
-
your hand.
-
I'm not going to embarrass you.
-
I'm not gonna call you out, but I am gonna
-
pray with you. And if that's you and you want
-
to give your life to Jesus, don't wait on this.
-
You may not have another day. Just give your life
-
to Him now.
-
On the count of three, one, two, three, just raise
-
your hand and say I want to give my life
-
to Jesus.
-
Yes, I want to get Yes, I want to give
-
my life to Jesus. I see people in this room
-
giving their life to Him. Amen. Amen, come on, let's
-
give Jesus praise, Amen,
