04/18/26 - WYAA 2026 | Guest Speaker Panel

(MUSIC)

I TOLD HER, I SAID, COME UP WITH A SKIT IN RECORD TIME. DID THEY

NOT DO IT? BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT IS WHY THEY SET UP FOR OUR

PANEL, WE'LL GET OUR PANELISTS OUT HERE IN A MINUTE. I WAS JUST

SITTING THERE THINKING, LORD OF ALL THE STUFF WE GET SO STRESSED

OUT ABOUT AND GOD'S LIKE, "THERE WAS NO POINT. I JUST HAD THE

PLAN ALL THE TIME." AND WHILE GOD MAY NOT HAND YOU A MAN IN A

FLOWER JACKET AND A MANSION ALL IN ONE DAY, I'M LIKE, "OH MAN,

THAT HOUSE, WOW." AND THE POOL AND EVERYTHING. BUT ISN'T GOD

FAITHFUL? THAT'S WHAT THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS CONFERENCE IS

ABOUT, IS JUST KNOWING THAT GOD IS, IF HE SAID HE'LL DO

SOMETHING, HE WILL DO IT. HE IS A FAITHFUL GOD. AND SO I JUST

WANT YOU TO BE ENCOURAGED BY THAT. PASTOR CHRISTY, I'M GOING

TO WELCOME PASTOR CHRISTY, NICOLE, KAREN, ALL TO THE

PLATFORM, OUR PANEL. GIVE THEM ALL A GREAT BIG HAND. YES, GIVE

THEM A STAND AND AN APPRECIATION. THANK YOU GUYS FOR

BEING PART OF ALL THIS. PRAISE THE LORD. PRAISE THE LORD. WELL,

WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF PULL UP A CHAIR

AND SOME DISCUSSION ALONG THE THEME OF THE CONFERENCE. AND IF

YOU'RE JUST JOINING US THIS AFTERNOON, THE WHOLE THEME OF

THIS IS CALLED, "WON'T HE DO IT?" IN OTHER WORDS, AFFIRMING

OUR TRUST IN GOD THAT THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS WE BECOME ANXIOUS

ABOUT, FEARFUL ABOUT, AND I GOT TO TURN A LITTLE BIT SO I CATCH

ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE BEHIND ME, FEARFUL ABOUT, THINGS THAT

WE JUST ALLOW THE ENEMY TO TALK TO US AND EVEN IF IT'S A REAL

SITUATION, YOU KNOW, WE GO THROUGH REAL THINGS, DON'T WE

LADIES? WE GO THROUGH HARDSHIP, SOMETIMES IN OUR LIVES WE GO TO

WHAT WE THINK IS GOING TO HELL AND BACK AND BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL

TO BRING US OUT OF THOSE THINGS AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO JUST

DRILL DOWN IN OUR HEARTS THIS WEEKEND IS THAT WE CAN SEE THAT

GOD BRINGS US ON THE OTHER SIDE. YOU KNOW HANK AND I SO MANY

TIMES IN 30 YEARS OF PASTORING THIS CHURCH HOW MANY TIMES WE

THOUGHT WE WOULDN'T MAKE IT ANOTHER DAY WE THOUGHT THE WORLD

WAS FALLING APART AND IT JUST WOULD NEVER WE WOULD NEVER GET

TO THE OTHER SIDE AND YET GOD WAS FAITHFUL AND NOW WE'RE HERE

AND WE'RE STILL HERE ON THE OTHER SIDE AND SO IF HE'LL DO IT

NOT AND SO WHAT I WANT TO PREFACE BY SAYING ALL OF US THAT

ARE UP UP HERE WE DON'T LIVE IN A FAIRY TALE WORLD PEOPLE

SOMETIMES THINGS THAT MINISTERS, SINGERS, PEOPLE ON THE PLATFORM

LIVE IN THIS WORLD OF EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT YOU KNOW YOU SEE IT

AS AT OUR BEST WITH OUR FALSE EYELASHES AND IN FACT I DOOR

DASHED THESE THEY WERE SO BIG THEY WERE HITTING MY GLASSES I

DON'T KNOW EXACTLY I SAID TO MATT LAST NIGHT I SAID MY LASHES

ARE SO BIG I HOPE I CAN PREACH BUT THE POINT BEING YOU KNOW YOU

SEE ALL OF THAT BUT IN BEHIND THE SCENES JUST LIKE YOU WE GO

THROUGH AS YOU PREACHED ON TODAY REAL LOSSES YOU'VE USED COINED

THE PHRASE SO MANY YEARS I'VE KNOWN YOU NIGHT SEASON WE'VE ALL

GONE THROUGH DIFFICULTY THAT WE'VE HAD TO FACE AND AND I'LL

SAY IT LIKE THIS AND A LOT OF AND ALL OF US HERE WHO HAVE A

PUBLIC MINISTRY HAVE HAD TO FACE IT BEFORE THE WORLD AND SO I SO

THIS IS A VULNERABLE MOMENT I'M NOT THAT WE'RE GONNA SHARE ALL

OF OUR STORIES BUT THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT THIS MORNING THOUGH

THAT WAS VERY ENCOURAGING AND WE VALUE THAT AND WE TAKE THAT BUT

WE DO GO THROUGH REAL THINGS SO I WANTED TO JUST PUT TOGETHER A

LITTLE BIT OF DISCUSSION FOR ALL THE PANELS JUST TO BRING YOU TO

A PLACE OF FAITH THAT WHETHER YOU'VE GONE THROUGH A THING OR

YOU PROBABLY LET ME JUST SAY, AND I'M NOT PROPHESYING IT, BUT

I'M JUST SAYING YOU PROBABLY WILL. JESUS SAID IN THIS WORLD,

YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATIONS. BUT THEN THE END OF THAT IS BE OF

GOOD CHEER, I'VE OVERCOME THE WORLD. SO I WANNA JUST TALK

LADIES A LITTLE BIT JUST ALONG OUR QUESTIONS AND ANY OF YOU CAN

JUST JUMP IN AT ANY MOMENT THAT YOU WANT TO. BUT LET'S IDENTIFY

FIRST OF ALL SOME OF THE THINGS, AND WE SAW IT WITH LADY T UP

HERE A FEW MOMENTS AGO AND HER SITUATION, AND IT WAS A HUMOROUS

SIDE TO IT. BUT WHAT ARE THINGS THAT SOMETIMES WE ALLOW TO CAUSE

US FEAR, ANXIETY, STRESS, THAT MAYBE WE DIDN'T NEED TO BE SO

STRESSED OUT ABOUT? YOU KNOW, WE ALLOWED THESE THINGS TO COME IN

AND WE DIDN'T DEAL WITH IT. WHAT ARE SOME COMMON CAUSES THAT WE

COULD IDENTIFY THAT TRY TO CREEP IN THAT THE ENEMY BRINGS IN OUR

LIVES? LET'S JUST TALK TO THAT SO THAT WE CAN LOOK AT IT AND

GO, NO, THAT'S A PLAN OF THE ENEMY. WHAT ARE SOME COMMON

THINGS THAT CAUSE US THESE KINDS OF ANXIETIES AND STRESSES? WELL,

THERE IS A STATISTIC THAT SAYS THAT 95% OF THE THINGS THAT WE

WORRY ABOUT NEVER HAPPEN. THE OTHER 5% THAT DO HAPPEN, WE HAVE

NO CONTROL OVER. AND I THINK THE KEY WORD HERE IS CONTROL. A LOT

OF TIMES WE FEAR WHEN WE CAN'T CONTROL A SITUATION. BUT THE

SECRET IS WE NEVER WERE IN CONTROL. WE'RE NOT IN CONTROL.

GOD IS IN CONTROL. AND HE'S A GOOD GOD. EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT

GIFT COMETH FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHT. AND HE'S WORKING ALL

THINGS FOR OUR GOOD, BUT THE ENEMY WANTS TO GET IN AND SAY,

"IF I CAN'T CONTROL IT, IF I CAN'T MAKE IT HAPPEN, THEN IT'S

NOT GONNA WORK OUT FOR MY GOOD." AND THAT'S A LIE OF THE ENEMY.

SO I THINK FEAR OF THE FUTURE. I'M 65 YEARS OLD, MY CHILDREN

ARE GROWN, BUT I USED TO BE VERY WORRIED ABOUT IF SOMETHING

HAPPENED TO ME, WHO WOULD TAKE CARE OF MY KIDS? ANYBODY? AND I

THINK THAT WE FEAR THE UNKNOWN. AND I CAN TELL YOU THE THINGS

THAT I LOST SLEEP OVER WHEN MY KIDS WERE SMALL AND THE THINGS,

EVEN IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, I WOULD LIE AWAKE AND WORRY, AND

THEY NEVER HAPPENED. THE THINGS THAT I WORRIED ABOUT NEVER

HAPPENED. SO I THINK CONTROL, THE FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL. I

THINK ONE THING TOO IS THAT WE FEAR FAILURE. YEAH. SO SOMETIMES

WE'RE AFRAID TO FOLLOW WHAT GOD HAS CALLED US TO DO, WHAT GOD

HAS CALLED US TO BE BECAUSE WE EITHER GET CAUGHT UP IN

COMPARING OURSELVES TO SOMEBODY ELSE, WHETHER WE MEASURE UP TO

SOMEBODY ELSE, RATHER THAN HAVING THE MEASURING STICK THAT

GOD HIMSELF HAS FOR US, WE MEASURE OURSELVES BY SOME OTHER

HUMAN THAT HAS A DIFFERENT CALL AND THEN WE FEAR FAILING. SO

SOMETIMES WE JUST DON'T LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP BECAUSE WE'RE

AFRAID THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IF WE GET OUT THERE AND WE DON'T

KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO END, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, OR WHAT

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG? SO WE, YOU KNOW, WE SOMETIMES TRY TO

PROTECT OURSELVES IN OUR SAFE ZONES SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE

DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH FAILURE. WE DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE

STRESS OF SOMETHING NOT BEING SUCCESSFUL. YOU KNOW, I THINK

ALSO, I THINK WE CAN FALL INTO ANXIETY WHEN WE FEEL LIKE GOD

SHOULD PLAY ACCORDING TO OUR SCRIPT AND OUR TIMETABLE. LIKE,

I'VE PRAYED FOR THIS, AND SO GOD, YOU SHOULD COME THROUGH

THIS WAY AT THIS TIME IN, YOU KNOW, THIS MANNER. AND WHEN

THOSE TIMETABLES EXPIRE AND HE HASN'T DONE WHAT WE WANTED HIM

TO DO WHEN WE WANTED HIM TO DO IT, THEN I THINK SOMETIMES WE

CAN BE TEMPTED TO EITHER DOUBT HIM AND SAY, "WELL, I GUESS

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT," OR "I'M GOING TO DO IT MY WAY," YOU

KNOW, OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. BUT GOD HAS NO OBLIGATION TO MY

TIMETABLE. HE'S OBLIGATED TO HIS WORD. AND SO, I HAVE TO MAKE ALL

DO THAT. WHEN WE'RE TRUSTING GOD, IT'S NOT, "I'M TRUSTING GOD

TO DO IT MY WAY. I'M TRUSTING GOD JUST FOR WHAT I WANT, BUT

I'M TRUSTING GOD." PERIOD. AND THEN I ALLOW HIM TO DO THINGS AT

HIS PACE, IN HIS TIME, AND IN HIS WAY, JUST LIKE WE SAW IN THE

SCRIPT. HE WENT ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL SHE EVER COULD ASK, THINK,

OR IMAGINE, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS JUST A SCRIPT, BUT WE SEE, YOU

KNOW, IT WAS NOT, IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE WAY WE THINK. AND SO

WHEN IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OUR WAY, LET'S MAKE SURE, AND I HAVE TO

CHALLENGE MYSELF OFTEN TO NOT TO THROW IN THE TOWEL, NOT TO

ACCUSE GOD FALSELY, NOT TO THINK THAT MAYBE HE'S NOT GOING TO DO

IT, BUT TO STILL TRUST HIM EVEN WHEN HE HASN'T DONE IT MY WAY.

SO, YEAH. KAREN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT? I DON'T

KNOW IF I DO, IT'S ALL SO GOOD. I'M JUST AMENITY EVERYBODY.

AND I LOVE WHAT THEY ALL SAID. CANDY, REALLY, THE

PART ABOUT CONTROL, WHOA. SO I'M CONVICTED BY THAT RIGHT NOW. AND

IT'S ALL BASED IN FEAR, YOU KNOW, THIS THING OF FEAR, WHICH

I HATE AND GOD HATES. THE FEAR THAT REALLY IS, IT'S LEADS US

INTO THE PLACE OF WORRY, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A GRIEVOUS SIN.

WORRY IS ACTUALLY A GRIEVOUS SIN AGAINST GOD BECAUSE IT'S ROOTED

IN FEAR AND UNBELIEF. AND THE REASON UNBELIEF IS, WE THINK OF

UNBELIEF AS LIKE, OH, YOU KNOW, MY MAMA WAS FEARFUL AND I'M

FEARFUL. BUT ACTUALLY IT'S REALLY, REALLY BAD. WITH GOD, I

THINK IT'S IN SOME OF THE WORST CATEGORIES BECAUSE UNBELIEF IS

REALLY QUESTIONING THE CHARACTER OF GOD AS TO WHETHER OR NOT HE

WILL ACTUALLY KEEP HIS WORD. SO FOR GOD, UNBELIEF IS LIKE A

REALLY BIG DEAL. IT QUESTIONS HIS CHARACTER, THE VERY ESSENCE

OF WHO HE IS. IT'S KIND OF LOOKING AT GOD SAYING, I DON'T

KNOW IF I CAN TRUST YOU. YOU KNOW, IF MY CHILD LOOKED AT ME

AND SAID, "MOM, I CAN'T TRUST YOU." THAT WOULD BE LIKE A

DAGGER. LIKE, "YOU CAN'T TRUST ME." WHOA, THAT HURTS. AND YET

WITH GOD, WE'RE KIND OF LIKE THAT. I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF I

CAN TRUST YOU. WHOA, AS TO WHETHER OR NOT YOU'LL KEEP YOUR

WORD. AND THEN THAT'S WHAT LEADS US INTO WORRY. AND THAT'S WHY

WORRY IS REALLY A BIG DEAL TO GOD. AND WE'VE GOT TO GET RID OF

IT. BRENDA, WHATEVER IT TAKES. I LOVED THAT YOU SAID ABOUT

UNBELIEF AND I WANTED TO TOUCH A LITTLE ON THAT LAST NIGHT. THAT

THE LORD BEGAN TO TAKE ME ON A JOURNEY ON THAT TOPIC. THAT

UNBELIEF, WE THINK OF WORRY AS AN INNOCENT, JUST A FEAR. IT'S A

TYPICAL HUMAN RESPONSE, RIGHT? LIKE, YOU KNOW, HUMANS SHOULD

FEEL THAT. BUT YET, IF YOU LOOK IN THE BIBLE, ANYTIME ANYONE

WOULDN'T DEAL WITH THAT WORRY, OR THAT ANXIETY, OR THAT

FEARFULNESS. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING. IT TYPICALLY TRIES

TO HIT YOU AT NIGHT. WE TALKED ABOUT LAYING AWAKE AT NIGHT, AND

THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE... THREE IN THE MORNING MEANS THREE. WHAT IS

IT WITH THREE? IT IS. IT'S A NIGHT... BUT LOOK AT... THAT'S

IN THE WORD. THE BIBLE CALLS IT A NIGHT TERROR. AND IT'S WRITTEN

IN PSALM 91. "I WILL NOT BE AFRAID OF THE TERROR THAT COMES

AT NIGHT." YOU SING ABOUT IT. IT TYPICALLY... SO WE HAVE TO,

FIRST OF ALL, NOT BE IGNORANT OF THE DEVIL'S DEVICES. WORRY

UNCHECKED, TO YOUR POINT. WE SEE IT THROUGH THE CHILDREN OF

ISRAEL. THE BIBLE SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT ENTER IN BECAUSE OF

UNBELIEF. NOW, IT STARTED OUT AS INNOCENT, WHAT WE THINK IS

INNOCENT FEAR, TO YOUR POINT. BUT THAT GRIEVOUS SIN, GOD

FINALLY SAID TO ISRAEL, HE SAID, "YOU HAVE GRIEVED ME THESE TEN

TIMES." HE KEPT COUNT OF THEIR FEAR THAT THEY WOULDN'T DEAL

WITH. AND IT EVENTUALLY TURNED IN, AND WHAT DID THE BIBLE CALL

ISRAEL? IT CALLED THEM STIFF-NECKED. IT SAID THEY

BECAME, IT WAS A STIFF NECK, THEY REFUSED TO BELIEVE. SO,

LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS FEAR, THESE WORRIES, 'CAUSE LIKE ALL

OF US, I'VE HAD NIGHTS, YOU LAY AWAKE, THINK ABOUT YOUR

CHILDREN, YOUR FAMILY, PEOPLE YOU CAN'T CONTROL PEOPLE'S

ACTIONS OR YOU CAN'T, YOU KNOW, YOU FEEL HELPLESS TO DEAL WITH

THAT PERSON THAT HAS SOME CONDITION IN THEIR BODY THAT YOU

KNOW OR LOVE OR SOME ISSUE THAT YOU, YOU KNOW, THE ENEMY IS JUST

TRIES TO IMPALE YOU. COME ON, LET'S BE REAL. THERE'S BEEN

TIMES YOU SAT THERE AND THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, MY STOMACH IS IN

KNOTS. I REMEMBER YEARS AGO, OUR FATHER, HE WAS JUST 55. HE'S IN

HEAVEN NOW, BUT HE LIVED TO BE A FULL AGE. BUT AT THAT TIME HE

WAS ONLY 55 AND WE HAD GOTTEN THE CALL, CHRISTY AND I. OUR SON

JOHN WAS JUST A LITTLE BABY. I WAS STILL NURSING HIM AT THE

TIME. LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH WAS I THINK TWO YEARS OLD AND WE GOT

THIS CALL THAT HE WAS IN A SERIOUS HEALTH CONDITION. HIS

BOWEL HAD LITERALLY EXPLODED AND THERE WAS DIVERTICULITIS AND

EVERYTHING WENT WRONG. ALL HIS ORGANS WERE INFECTED. WE GOT THE

CALL THAT HE MAY MAKE IT OR NOT. AND SO WE JUST DID WHAT WE KNOW

TO DO. WE WENT TO THE PRAYER BATTLE. HANK HAD STAYED, PASTOR

HANK HAD STAYED BACK HERE WITH THE BOYS. WE TOOK OFF. WE WENT

TO DES MOINES AT THAT TIME. HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL. AND I AND

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO IDENTIFY. I REMEMBER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

NIGHT, JUST FEAR LIKE MY STOMACH, I COULD NOT TURN OFF

THE BUTTERFLIES. ANYBODY EVER BEEN THERE? I COULD NOT TURN OFF

MY HEAD. I JUST KEPT LAYING THERE. AND I REMEMBER QUOTING

THE WORD OF GOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, QUOTING IT. IF I

STOPPED QUOTING, ALL OF THAT WOULD FLOOD BACK. AND I JUST

REMEMBER LAYING THERE, I WENT BACK TO BROTHER HAGIN, I JUST

SAID, "GOD, YOU SAID WHATSOEVER THINGS I DESIRE WHEN I PRAY,

"BELIEVE I RECEIVE IT AND I'LL HAVE IT. "GOD, WHATSOEVER MY DAD

WILL NOT." AND YOU KNOW, I COMBATED THAT AT NIGHT TERROR.

LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT ARE THINGS WE CAN DO TO COMBAT THE NIGHT

TERROR, THE THINGS THAT HIT US IN THE MIDDLE OF

THE NIGHT. BE NOT DISMAYED, THAT'S OUR THEME

SCRIPTURE, FOR I AM THY GOD. BE NOT DISMAYED, DON'T

BE IN THIS NERVOUS PANIC. LADIES, WHAT ARE SOME THINGS WE

CAN DO TO COMBAT THE SPIRIT, IT'S DEMONIC, THE SPIRIT OF FEAR

THAT TRIES TO COME AGAINST OUR LIVES. ANY OF YOU CAN SAY. SO, I

MEAN, ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD SAY IS FIRST OF ALL, EPHESIANS

Ephesians 6 · chapter mention

CHAPTER 6 SAYS THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE UP THE SHIELD OF FAITH

WHERE WE QUENCH. SO QUENCHING MEANS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE STOPPING.

I MEAN, YES, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE DARTS, THAT THE

FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED AREN'T COMING AGAINST US. BUT WHEN

WE'RE TAKING UP THE SHIELD OF FAITH, WE'RE USING THAT TO

QUENCH THE FEAR, QUENCH THE ONSLAUGHT. BUT YOU KNOW, I TRULY

BELIEVE THAT OUR FAITH IS BUILT OUT OF UNDERSTANDING THE

CHARACTER OF GOD AND WHO HE IS. AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WORSHIP

IS ALL ABOUT. WHEN WE LACK IN WORSHIP, WE LACK IN FAITH. WHEN

WE LACK IN THE WORD, WE LACK IN FAITH. BECAUSE THE WORD DEPICTS

THE CHARACTER OF GOD. WHEN WE COME INTO A PLACE OF WORSHIP,

PSALM SAYS, "OH, MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME. "LET US EXALT HIS

NAME TOGETHER." THAT WHAT MAGNIFICATION MEANS, WE'RE

MAKING GOD BIGGER THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS HAPPENING. WHEN

WE'RE MAKING GOD BIGGER THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S HAPPENING,

THEN WE'RE SAYING THAT EVERYTHING ELSE HAS TO BOW UNDER

THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THE ONE THAT SITS UPON THE THRONE, THE GOD

THAT REIGNS. WE'RE SAYING EVERYTHING HAS TO BOW TO THAT

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AND YOU QUOTED IT TODAY, "I KNOW IN WHOM

I HAVE BELIEVED, THAT HE IS ABLE TO DELIVER ME." SO THAT IS ONE

OF THE WAYS I THINK WHEN WE ARE IN FEAR, IT'S GETTING IN THE

WORD, IT'S CHOOSING A PLACE OF WORSHIP. I REMEMBER, I'LL TELL A

REALLY QUICK STORY. WHEN I WAS YOUNG, MY PARENTS WERE MOVING

AWAY AND YOU GUYS WERE MOVING TO A DIFFERENT CITY AND I DIDN'T

KNOW WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO. AND I WAS LIKE, "WELL, GOD, DO I

GO HERE? DO I GO THERE? WHAT DO I DO?" OUR LIFE WAS BEING TORN

APART. AND I HEARD THE LORD SAY, YOU KNOW, JUST GET IN THERE AND

WORSHIP. AND I REMEMBER LAYING ON THE FLOOR IN MY BEDROOM AND I

WAS TRYING TO WORSHIP. I WAS TRYING. AND IT WAS THE FIRST

TIME I EVER SAW A VISION AND I SAW THESE FEET AND THEY WERE

DANCING. AND I WAS LIKE, WELL, GOD, I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS,

BUT I CAN'T DANCE RIGHT NOW. LIKE YOU'D SEE I'M SAD. LIKE I'M

SAD. I'M HAVING A MOMENT. AND I REALIZED THAT THEY WERE THE FEET

OF JESUS. AND HE WAS SAYING, "LISTEN, IN YOUR WEAKNESS, I AM

STRONG. THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO WORSHIP HIM, EVEN WHEN WE DON'T

FEEL LIKE IT, BECAUSE THAT WILL TURN ON YOUR FAITH IGNITION."

YEAH, THAT'S GOOD, THAT'S GOOD, LADIES. AMEN, YES. POWERFUL. I

WAS QUOTING THAT SCRIPTURE EARLIER TODAY, "WHEN WE ARE

WEAK, HE IS STRONG." AND EVERY TIME BEFORE I COME OUT ON STAGE,

I'M ALWAYS SAYING TO THE LORD, I SAID, "OKAY, LORD, THAT'S YOUR

PROMISE." AND SO I BRING TO YOU MY WEAKNESSES. I BRING THEM TO

YOU. AND SIR, I EXPECT FOR YOU TO SHOW UP AND BRING YOUR

STRENGTH. AND SO, YEAH, SO, AND WHERE WAS I GONNA GO? I WAS

GONNA GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO HOLD UP, HOLD UP, HOLD UP. I'M 59,

GIVE ME A MINUTE. GIVE ME A MINUTE. I SAID, I'M 59. NO, I

SAID, GIVE ME, YES. I'M CATCHING UP WITH ALL Y'ALL, OKAY? I'M

GROWN, OKAY? OH, YOU'RE VERY KIND. I FOUND OUT NICOLE AND I

ARE THE SAME AGE. I KNOW, AND I'M A LITTLE BIT OLDER. YOU ARE

A FEW MONTHS OLDER. SO I'M BIG SISTER, YOU'RE LITTLE SIS,

YOU'RE LITTLE SIS. SHE'S MY BIG SISTER THEN. YEAH, BUT WHAT I

WAS GONNA SAY IS THAT REALLY, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU

MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SING WHAT YOU KNOW, YOU FEEL LIKE, OKAY, IT'S

HARD FOR ME TO UTTER THE WORDS OF TRUTH. WE LIVE IN A AGE WHERE

WE CAN HAVE OTHER PEOPLE SING FOR US TO TURN ON THAT IGNITION,

LIKE SHE'S SAYING, CHANGE THE DIAL, GET YOUR LITTLE PHONE OUT

OR BEGIN TO SING, BEGIN TO HUM WHAT YOU DO KNOW. YOU KNOW,

SOMETIMES IT MAY NOT BE, YOU KNOW, THE SANDY PATTY BALLAD OR

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, YOU

KNOW, IT MIGHT BE THE LITTLE WHISPER OF REMEMBERING. YOU ARE

MY HIDING PLACE. YOU ALWAYS FILL MY HEART WITH SONGS OF

DELIVERANCE. WHENEVER I AM AFRAID, I WILL TRUST IN YOU. AND

SOMETIMES YOU MAY HAVE TO CRY IT OUT. I WILL TRUST IN YOU UNTIL

YOU GET STRONGER. LET THE WEAK SAY I AM STRONG IN THE STRENGTH

OF THE LORD. AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, HIS WORD IS GOING TO SPRING

UP. YOU ARE MY HIDING PLACE. HIS WORD NEVER EXPIRES. YOU ALWAYS

FILL MY HEART WITH SONGS OF DELIVERANCE. WHENEVER I AM

AFRAID, I WILL TRUST IN YOU. CHANGE THE CHANNEL. GIVE US SOME

POINTERS ON OVERCOMING THIS EXPERIENCE. I FORGOT THE

QUESTION AFTER I GOT LOST IN HER SONG. THAT WAS SO GOOD. SO GOOD.

NO, I LOVE THAT. IT IS CHANGING YOUR PERSPECTIVE. IT'S

EVERYTHING. THAT IS THE KEY TO IT FOR ME TOO. EVEN LAST WEEK, I

JUST FELT THE LORD TELLING ME THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRE.

IT'S JUST, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT THE

MESS, AND I WAS LOOKING AT THE IMPOSSIBILITY, AND I WAS LETTING

THE PAIN JUST OVERWHELM. AND I WAS JUST SITTING THERE STARING,

LOOKING AT IT, AND JUST THINKING THERE'S NO ANSWERS. AND THE PAIN

WAS JUST ALL CONSUMING. IT WAS LIKE HE JUST SAID TO ME, "KAREN,

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" AND THEN I BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT

WHERE HE IS. ISN'T IT EPHESIANS THAT SAYS HE'S SEATED FAR ABOVE

ALL POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES, EVEN SAYS IN EVERY NAME THAT IS

NAMED. AND THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY, AND I'M SEATED WITH CHRIST

IN THE HEAVENLY PLACE, BUT I'VE GOT TO CHANGE THAT PERSPECTIVE

AND REMEMBER WHERE I'M SITTING WITH CHRIST AND GET TO THINKING

ABOUT IT. IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID, NICOLE? IT'S JUST, OH, I'VE GOT

DIFFERENTLY. SO I DID LAST WEEK, I BEGAN TO SING. YOU REIGN ABOVE

IT ALL. YOU REIGN ABOVE IT ALL. HERE'S MY MESS ALL DOWN HERE

THAT I'VE BEEN STARING AT FOR HOURS, BUT YOU REIGN ABOVE IT

ALL. YOU REIGN ABOVE IT ALL. YOU'RE OVER THE UNIVERSE AND

OVER EVERY HEART. COME ON. HE'S ABOVE IT ALL. HE'S ABOVE IT ALL.

AND WHEN I LOOK AT HIM, THIS LOOKS TINY. THIS LOOKS LIKE

NOTHING. THIS LOOKS LIKE CHAFF IN THE WIND. AT THE GLORIOUS

GOD. IT'S THE SHIFT OF PERSPECTIVE TO SEE HIM INSTEAD

OF THAT. AMEN. WELL, I WANT THESE TWO TO GO HOME WITH ME AND

SING TO ME WHEN I HAVE BAD DAYS. OH, GOODNESS. EVERYBODY ON THIS

PLATFORM CAN SING BUT ME. OH MY GOODNESS. BEAUTIFUL VOICE. SO I

SAID THIS TO YOU LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS HERE ABOUT SCRIPTURAL

MEMORIZATION. THAT HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER FOR ME AND IF I

COULD RECOMMEND A BOOK TO YOU, IT'S A MINDSET FREE BY BROTHER

JIMMY EVANS AND IT'S ONE OF THE MOST PROFOUND, IT'S JUST A

LITTLE SHORT READ AND IF YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THOUGHT

PROCESSES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. IT'S SO

WONDERFUL. AND SO, AND IT IS ABOUT SCRIPTURAL MEMORIZATION

AND SO I STARTED LEARNING LIKE OUR SISTER NICOLE TO MEMORIZE

CHAPTERS OF THE BIBLE AND YOU KNOW, EVEN THE LORD'S PRAYER.

JESUS SAID THIS, HE SAID, "MY WORDS ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE

LIFE." AND SO MANY NIGHTS, MOST, MOST EVERY NIGHT I LIE IN BED AT

BEDTIME BECAUSE THE ENEMY COMES AT, AT, WHEN YOU'RE THE

TIREDEST. HE DOESN'T PLAY FAIR WHEN YOU'RE THE MOST VULNERABLE,

WHEN YOU'RE THE WEAKEST, YOU'VE HAD A LONG DAY. AND SO I LIE IN

BED AND I'LL QUOTE PSALM 1 OR PSALM 23 OR PSALM 100 OR PSALM

27 OR JUST QUOTE AND, AND IMMEDIATELY THE FEARS WILL GO

AWAY AND I'LL GO TO SLEEP. SO IT'S A WONDERFUL TOOL BECAUSE IT

IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD. IT'S NOT SHAKESPEARE. YOU'RE NOT

MEMORIZING SHAKESPEARE. YOU'RE MEMORIZING THE SPIRIT OF GOD

THAT WORKS INSIDE YOU. BUT I DID. I FOUND SOMETHING RECENTLY

THAT HAS BEEN LIFE-CHANGING TO ME, AND IF I COULD JUST SHARE IT

WITH YOU VERY QUICKLY. I JUST FINISHED A BOOK, READING A BOOK

BY A DOCTOR. IT'S NOT A DOCTOR, I DON'T THINK, BUT HE'S GONE ON

TO BE WITH THE LORD, DALLAS WILLARD, AND "A LIFE WITHOUT

LACK," AND HE'S EXPOUNDING ON THE 23RD PSALM, WHICH I LOVE.

BUT IN THIS BOOK, HE SAYS, HE STUDIED OTHER RELIGIONS AND

OTHER, THE ISLAM, THEY PRAY FIVE TIMES A DAY. AND THEY START

PRAYING AT SIX O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND THE LAST TIME THEY

PRAY IS AT NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. AND SO FOR ME, THAT WAS A

MIC DROP MOMENT BECAUSE I REALIZED THAT THE BIBLE SAYS,

ADMIT YOUR FAULTS ONE TO ANOTHER. SO I FELT REALLY GOOD

ABOUT MYSELF, ABOUT HAVING MY MORNING DEVOTION, MY MORNING

PRAYER TIME, AND THEN GO ON ABOUT MY BUSINESS ALL DAY LONG.

AND SO, BROTHER DALLAS WILLARD WAS TALKING ABOUT TRAINING YOUR

HEART TO GO TO THE THRONE OF GOD MANY TIMES A DAY. AND SO, WHAT

HAPPENS, AND I'M NOT A PSYCHOLOGIST OR A PSYCHIATRIST,

BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS WE GET IN RUTS IN OUR THINKING, AND IT'S

CALLED NEURO PATHWAYS. IT'S THE HIGHWAY THAT YOUR THOUGHTS GO

DOWN. AND SO YOU GET USED TO THINKING IN CERTAIN WAYS, AND I

DID. AND SO WHEN YOU TRAIN YOUR MIND TO GO TO GOD SEVERAL TIMES

A DAY, IT CHANGES YOUR NEURO PATHWAYS. AND SO WHEN I WAS A

LITTLE GIRL, I WAS RAISED IN LOUISIANA, AND THE PLACE WHERE

WE BAPTIZED AT THE BAYOU WAS A DIRT ROAD. AND WE WENT DOWN THIS

DIRT ROAD AND THERE WERE BIG RUTS IN THE DIRT ROAD. PEOPLE

HAD DRIVEN ON IT WHEN IT WAS MUDDY AND WHATNOT. AND SO YOU

HAD TO GET IN THE RUT TO GET TO THE BAYOU. AND SO THEN YOU

REALLY HAD A PROBLEM IF YOU WEREN'T IN THE RUT. AND SO

THAT'S THE WAY WE GET IN OUR THINKING. WE GET IN RUTS AND

FEAR AND ANXIETY. AND SO WHEN YOU BEGIN TO TURN YOUR HEART TO

GOD SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, AND I GOTTA TELL YOU AT FIRST, IT WAS,

PAUL SAID, "EXERCISE YOURSELF UNTO GODLINESS." EXERCISE IS

HARD. AND SO IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO GET IN THE HABIT, DRIVING MY

CAR, EATING LUNCH, MOPPING THE FLOOR, GROOMING THE DOG. TURN MY

HEART TO GOD, REALLY TURN MY HEART TO GOD. BUT HERE'S THE

KEY, ISAIAH SAID THIS, HE WILL KEEP IN PERFECT PEACE, HIM WHOSE

MIND IS STAYED ON HIM. WATCH THIS. I FOUND OUT THAT MY

PATHWAYS WERE CHANGING. I WAS CARVING OUT NEW ROADS. AND THAT

IF I TURNED MY HEART TO HIM, HE IS OBLIGATED TO KEEP, TO FIGHT

FOR MY SANITY, TO FIGHT FOR MY PEACE, TO FIGHT. HE WILL KEEP.

LOOK UP THE WORD KEEP WHEN YOU GET HOME. LOOK UP THE WORD

BECAUSE IT IS A FIGHTING WORD. HE'S FIGHTING ALL THE DEMONIC

FORCES THAT WANT TO COME AGAINST YOU WITH ANXIETY AND FEAR AND

COMPARISON AND ALL THOSE THINGS. GOD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU. JUST

TURN YOUR HEART TOWARDS HIM. YES. YES. YES. YOU KNOW ONE

THING, GIVE THAT A CLAP. ONE THING I'M HEARING AND THIS IS A

COMMON THREAD IS, WELL I'LL GIVE A LITTLE EXAMPLE. OUR SON MATT,

HE EVERY YEAR MAKES US FILL OUT THE BASKETBALL BRACKET. IF

YOU'VE BEEN HIT UP BY HIM, I APOLOGIZE. ANYWAY, SO, BUT I DO

IT EVERY YEAR. IT IS FUN AS A FAMILY, BUT THEN WHEN THE TEAMS

THAT I DON'T WANT, YOU KNOW, THAT I WANT TO WIN DON'T WIN, I

HAVE ANGER ISSUES, BUT ANYHOW. SO, YOU KNOW, BUT I HAD TO

REMEMBER, JUST THIS YEAR WE WERE WATCHING OUR TEAMS GET

ELIMINATED AND I REMEMBERED, HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER LARRY BIRD

BACK IN THE DAY, PLAYED BASKETBALL? AND IT JUST REMINDED

ME, AND THERE'S A SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLE WITH THIS, IT REMINDED

ME THAT HE WOULD GO INTO THE GYM, HE WOULD SAY, I DON'T KNOW,

FOR HOURS BEYOND ANY OTHER PLAYER AND JUST SHOOT FREE

THROWS, JUST PRACTICE THEM. AND I REMEMBERED WHEN ONE OF OUR

TEAMS, I THINK IT MIGHT'VE BEEN NEBRASKA, BUT THEY WERE LOSING.

I'M LIKE, "STOP MISSING YOUR FREE THROWS." YOU KNOW, I'D BE

SO MAD. THEY'D MISS, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE ELEMENTARY,

RIGHT? AND WHAT I'M HEARING HERE, THERE'S NO LIKE BIG

EXPLOSIVE ANSWER, BUT TO MAKE OUR FREE THROWS. EVERY SINGLE

TIME. IT'S ROUTINE THINGS THAT WE DO TO COMBAT, YOU MENTIONED

SCRIPTURE MEMORIZATION, KNOWING THE WORD. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE

WORD, YOU'LL HAVE NOTHING, THERE'LL BE NO BREAD IN YOUR

SOUL TO FIGHT WITH. YOU HAVE NO WEAPON. THERE'S WORSHIP WAS

MENTIONED. WE TALKED ABOUT OUR EYES BEING ON. THESE ARE

STANDARD FREE THROWS THAT EVERY CHRISTIAN MUST PRACTICE AGAIN

AND AGAIN EVERY DAY SO THAT WE ARE ARMED FOR THE DAY OF BATTLE.

AND WHEN THE NIGHT TERROR COMES, WE'RE ALREADY FULL. WE ALREADY

CAN MAKE THE FREE THROW. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES AS

CHRISTIANS WE'RE LOOKING FOR THAT BIG ANOINTING MOMENT. WE'RE

GONNA GET IN BROTHER SO-AND-SO SERVICE AND WE'RE GONNA FALL OUT

AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING. AND I'M NOT SAYING GOD CAN'T DO

THOSE THINGS. HE DOES USE THAT. HE DOES USE A CONFERENCE LIKE

THIS. BUT THEY'RE ONLY MOMENTS EVERY DAY MAKING THOSE FREE

THROWS OF PUTTING THAT WORD IN. YOU KNOW, DECLARING IT. IT'S ONE

OF THE REASONS I ACTUALLY WROTE THE DECREE BOOKS IS BECAUSE I

WANTED PEOPLE IN THEIR DARKEST NIGHT TERROR, NIGHT SEASON

MOMENTS TO BE ABLE TO TALK RIGHT. BECAUSE THE HARDEST THING

TO DO, AND WORDS IS ANOTHER ONE, OF THOSE SIMPLE FREE THROWS, IS

TO BE ABLE TO TALK RIGHT AND DECLARE RIGHT AND SPEAK RIGHT

WHEN YOUR MOUTH DOES NOT WANT TO. OKAY, YOU KNOW, YOU'D THINK

IT WOULD JUST BE THE EASIEST THING TO TALK FAITH WHEN THERE'S

ALL THIS JUNK GOING ON IN OUR LIVES SOMETIMES. BUT IT'S

SIMPLE, OUR MOUTH CAN DO IT. BUT WHAT PREVENTS US SOMETIMES, YOU

KNOW, OF SPEAKING HEALING WHEN THERE'S A SICKNESS. SPEAKING

LIKE LADY T WHEN THE FINANCES ARE LOW TO SPEAK FAITH. I DON'T

KNOW. WE LOVE, WE'RE ADDICTED SOMETIMES TO SPEAKING THE WRONG

THINGS. YEAH, THAT'S TRUE. BECAUSE WE'VE NOT PRACTICED OUR

FREE THROWS. SO I'M HEARING FROM US TODAY THAT THIS IS A PRACTICE

LIFE OF OVERCOMING THESE FEARS. NOT JUST A BIG AHA MOMENT, BUT

IT'S BECAUSE WE KEEP DOING IT. ONE OF THE THINGS AS YOU'RE

SAYING THAT, IT COMES TO MY MIND. WE'RE ENTERING PLANTING

SEASON HERE IN NEBRASKA, RIGHT? WHERE FARMERS ARE GETTING READY

TO PUT SEED IN THE GROUND. WE'RE GETTING READY TO PLANT OUR

FLOWERS, DO ALL THE THINGS THAT WE DO. HOWEVER, THE SEED, LIKE

THE CONFERENCE HERE IS THE SEED. YES. WHAT WE DO WITH THE SEED

THOUGH, IF WE DON'T DO WHAT THEY'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, IF

WE DON'T ADD THE WATER, THE FERTILIZER, AND TEND TO THE

PLANTS THAT ARE BEING PLANTED, GUESS WHAT, THEY'RE NOT GONNA

SPRING UP, THEY'RE NOT GONNA BEAR FRUIT. AND SO IT IS THE

CONTINUAL THING, AND IT IS US CHOOSING TO KEEP OUR EYES ON THE

LORD. WHEN I WROTE THE SONG, GOD OF MIRACLES, MANY OF YOU GUYS

KNOW THAT SONG. WE SING, WE'RE BELIEVING FOR MIGHTY THINGS,

WE'RE BELIEVING FOR MIRACLES, BUT THE BRIDGE OF THAT SONG

SAYS, "HOW MIGHTY, HOW MARVELOUS YOU ARE, MIRACULOUS, HOW GREAT."

BECAUSE AGAIN, WE CAN SAY WE'RE BELIEVING, BUT IF WE DON'T KNOW

THE GOD THAT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH, IF WE DON'T KNOW THE

CHARACTER OF WHO GOD IS, WE CAN SAY WE'RE BELIEVING ALL DAY

LONG. NOTHING IS GONNA HAPPEN UNTIL WE SEE THE GOD THAT SITS

UPON THE THRONE, AND WE KNOW THAT HE HEARS WHEN WE CALL.

AMEN. NICOLE, YOU HAD SOMETHING. YES, AND AMEN. YOU KNOW, I WANNA

SAY THIS TOO, IS THAT FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, IT'S REALLY BEEN

HEAVY ON MY HEART TO MAKE SURE THAT I PUT INTO SONG THE WORDS

OF THE WORD, TO PUT THE PSALMS. AND SO THAT'S MY LOVE. AND SO I

WANNA THANK YOU TOO, LAST YEAR, FOR LAST YEAR WHEN YOU GAVE THE

WORD TO ME AND I JUST BROKE A SISTER DOWN WITH AN UGLY CRY.

BUT ANYWAY, BUT NO, BUT PART OF THE WORD THAT THE LORD USED YOU

TO GIVE TO ME WAS ABOUT SONGWRITING AND PRETTY MUCH

STIRRING BACK UP THAT GIFT THAT HAD KIND OF BEEN PUT TO THE SIDE

A LITTLE BIT. AND SO OVER THE PAST YEAR, I FOUND MYSELF

WORKING ON SONGS AND WRITING MORE SONGS WHEN EVEN AT THE TIME

YOU GAVE THE WORD, I DIDN'T SEE IT AS, NOT THAT I DIDN'T SEE IT

AS A POSSIBILITY, IT WASN'T SOMETHING IN THE FOREFRONT OF MY

MIND. AND SO THAT WAS A PART OF THE WORD. I BELIEVE THE LORD

USED THAT TO DROP IT AS A SEED TO BEGIN TO GROW AGAIN IN ME.

BUT MY POINT ALSO IS THAT I LOVE IT BECAUSE I MEAN, WE SING SONGS

ALL THE TIME. YOU KNOW, YOU GO THROUGH A STORE, YOU FIND

YOURSELF SINGING SOMETHING AND SOMETIMES YOU FIND YOURSELF

SINGING NONSENSE BECAUSE THE MELODY WAS SO CATCHY AND YOU'RE

LIKE, "OH, WHAT AM I SINGING?" AND I THOUGHT, "HOW MUCH BETTER

IS IT THEN IF BEFORE I KNOW IT, I'M WAKING UP AND I'M SINGING

THE WORD OR IT'S SINGING TO ME OR I'M WALKING THROUGH THE STORE

AND SO I WANT TO PUT IT TO MUSIC AND TO MELODY THAT'S CATCHY

ENOUGH THAT IT'S KID TESTED MOTHER APPROVED. YOU KNOW WHAT

I'M SAYING? SO THAT'S MY AIM AND THAT'S MY GOAL AND SO THE SONGS

WE'VE BEEN SINGING TODAY AND LAST NIGHT A LOT OF THESE SONGS

ARE STRAIGHT FROM THE WORD. YOU KNOW YOU ALL KNOW I'VE DONE

PSALM 91 THE WHOLE CHAPTER. YOU GOT FIVE SONGS AND YOU SING IT,

YOU SING THE WHOLE CHAPTER. AND IF YOU MEMORIZE THE SONGS,

YOU'VE MEMORIZED THE CHAPTER AND THE SAME WITH PSALM 139 THAT

WE'RE WORKING TO PUT OUT. BUT I'M JUST SAYING, SO MY HEART IS

FOR US TO USE IT BECAUSE IF WE DON'T HAVE THE WORD, LIKE YOU

WERE SAYING, CHRISTY, WE'RE JUST SAYING, "THUS SAITH ME," OR YOU

JUST MAKING UP WORDS TO TELL THE DEVIL TO GET BEHIND YOU. AND

HE'S NOT OBLIGATED TO YOUR WORDS. HE'S NOT. HE'S OBLIGATED

TO THE WORD. SO IF WE DON'T KNOW THE WORD, WE DON'T HAVE THE

POWER TO FIGHT AND TO WIN. SO WE NEED THE WORD. SO GOOD. WISHING

IS NOT FAITH. NO. IT'S NOT. I LIKE THAT. NO, IT ISN'T. IT'S

NOT. AND INSULTS ALONE WON'T MAKE THE DEVIL LEAVE. I CAN

INSULT HIM ALL DAY LONG, BUT IF I'M NOT USING THE WORD OF GOD,

IT IS WRITTEN, EVEN AS CHRIST SAID, IT IS WRITTEN, THERE'S NO

AUTHORITY IN MAKING HIM LEAVE. SO I NEED THE WORD AND I NEED TO

KNOW THE WORD IN ORDER TO USE THE WORD IN ORDER TO WIELD THE

SWORD THAT HE GAVE US. SO THAT'S MY TWO CENTS. ALL RIGHT. OH, I

LOVE THAT. SO JUST LET'S TALK ABOUT, LADIES, HOW DO WE DEAL

WITH THIS? THIS THING CALLED OUR THOUGHTS THAT LIKE TO JUST COME.

SOMETIMES IT'S LIKE A FIRE HOSE. THESE THOUGHTS JUST KEEP COMING

AND COMING AND COMING. AND I THINK SOMETIMES, I DON'T KNOW, I

FEEL LIKE WOMEN TEND TO BE EVEN MORE SUSCEPTIBLE. MAYBE IT'S

'CAUSE WE'RE MORE EMOTIONAL, I DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT SAYING THE

GUYS AREN'T, BUT TO DEAL WITH THESE THOUGHTS THAT WON'T SEEM

TO TURN OFF. HOW MANY OF YOU EVER BEEN THERE? WHERE IT JUST,

YOU SEEM LIKE IT'S NOT GONNA SHUT DOWN. AND I THINK THAT'S

WHY THE DEVIL USES THE NIGHT TERROR, THAT 3 A.M. TIME. IN

FACT, I HEARD SOMEBODY SAY THERE'S A, IT'S KIND OF THAT

HOUR THAT THE DEMONIC IS MOST ACTIVE, AND IT'S USUALLY THAT

BETWEEN TWO AND FOUR. THAT'S WHEN THE OCCULT IS THE MOST

ACTIVE, IS THAT 2 A.M. TO 4 A.M. THEY CALL IT THE WITCHING HOUR.

THE WITCHING HOUR. IT'S A REAL THING, AND SO THAT'S THE DEMONIC

TIME, AND SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO COMBAT THESE THINGS THAT LIKE TO

HIT US, EVEN ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, BUT ANY TIME OF THE DAY,

YOU KNOW, AND I WILL SAY, NOT THAT I WANNA JUST CAMP ON THE

NIGHT HOUR, THAT WITCHING HOUR, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT. MY MOTHER

USED TO SAY YEARS AGO, YOU KNOW, YOU'D BE STRESSED OUT, GO TO

BED, WORKED UP AT NIGHT, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL HAVE EVER

HAD THIS HAPPEN. YOU'LL THINK, "WELL, THIS COULD HAPPEN, "AND

THAT COULD HAPPEN." I DON'T KNOW. YOUR MIND RACES ON LIKE

EIGHT DIFFERENT THINGS THAT COULD GO WRONG, TO YOUR POINT,

AND MOST OF THEM DON'T EVER HAPPEN. BUT THEN YOU GET UP IN

THE MORNING AND GO, "OH NO, THAT WASN'T EVEN A PROBLEM." IT'S

JUST DEMONIC. BUT WHAT DO WE DO TO DEAL WITH OUR HEAD? LET'S

TALK ABOUT THAT. TALK ABOUT THAT. GO AHEAD, KAREN. GOD GAVE

US SOMETHING THAT IS A PRECIOUS GIFT. IT IS THE GIFT OF CHOICE.

SO WE CHOOSE WHAT WE THINK ABOUT. THAT IS UP TO US. WE

CHOOSE WHEN WE PICK UP THAT PHONE AND STAY ON PINTEREST FOR

HOURS. WE CHOOSE WHEN WE'RE ON FACEBOOK FOR HOURS. THAT'S OUR

CHOICE. WE CAN CHOOSE TO STAY THERE. AND I LEARNED SOMETHING

IN MY LIFE, I'M SURE YOU HAVE TOO, THAT WHAT YOU MEDITATE ON

IS WHAT YOU BELIEVE. BECAUSE I KEPT HEARING THE LORD TELLING ME

ABOUT, "BELIEVE THE WORD, KAREN, BELIEVE THE WORD." AND THEN I

WAS LIKE, "WELL, LORD, EVIDENTLY I'M NOT BECAUSE YOU KEEP TELLING

ME TO DO IT. SO EVIDENTLY I'M NOT DOING IT BECAUSE YOU KEEP

SAYING, 'BELIEVE, KAREN.'" SO I SAID TO THE LORD, "HOW DO I

BELIEVE?" AND HE SAID, "WHAT YOU MEDITATE ON IS WHAT YOU

BELIEVE." SO WHAT YOU MEDITATE ON IS YOUR CHOICE. IT'S MY

CHOICE, IT'S YOUR CHOICE. WE CHOOSE WHAT WE MEDITATE ON. SO

IF WE MEDITATE ON FACEBOOK, THEN WE'RE GOING TO BELIEVE ALL THAT

GARBAGE-Y JUNK OF FACEBOOK. IT'S NOT GOING TO FEED OUR SPIRIT.

IT'S NOT GOING TO STRENGTHEN OUR SPIRIT ONE IOTA. WE'RE NOT

GOING TO BE CHANGED. WE'RE GOING TO BE DRAINED AND MIND NUMB.

YES. AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE TARGET, TO THE ARROWS OF THE

ENEMY. WHEN OUR MIND GETS NUMB, WE ARE JUST SUSCEPTIBLE TO

ANYTHING HE WANTS TO THROW AT US. RIGHT? AND THAT IS ONE OF

THE THINGS THE ENEMY IS DOING TO OUR GENERATION RIGHT NOW, IS TO

KEEP US SO DISTRACTED THAT WE ARE UTTERLY SPIRITUALLY NUMB. WE

CAN'T HEAR THINGS, FEEL THINGS. WE CAN'T EVEN PRAY ANYMORE

BECAUSE WE'RE SO JUST DEAD OF SPIRIT. SO WE'VE GOT TO CHOOSE.

I'M GOING TO TURN OFF FACEBOOK. I'M GOING TO TURN OFF THIS

PINTEREST. I'M GOING TO TURN OFF INSTAGRAM AND I'M GOING TO GET

IN THE WORD. THAT'S MY DECISION. I'M GOING TO DO IT. AND I'M

GOING TO MAKE MY MIND THINK ABOUT THIS WORD. IT'S MY CHOICE

AND THIS IS WHAT I CHOOSE TO DO. AND JUST PUT IT IN YOUR FACE AND

THEN STAY THERE AND THINK ABOUT IT UNTIL YOU BELIEVE THAT MORE

THAN WHAT YOU SEE. YOU BELIEVE THAT MORE THAN WHAT YOU BELIEVE,

WHATEVER THE DEVIL'S TRYING TO TELL YOU. SO IT'S THE CHOICE I

MAKE, I'M GONNA DO IT. SAY IT IN JESUS' NAME, I'M GONNA DO IT.

AMEN, I'M GONNA DO IT. MY CHOICE, MY CHOICE. SO KAREN, CAN

I PIGGYBACK ON THAT? BECAUSE IN FACT, GOD HAS HAD ME ON THIS

JOURNEY ABOUT HOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS A HUGE, IT'S BECOME A HUGE

DISTRACTION FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND IT IS BECOMING A LOT OF

PEOPLE'S GOSPEL. AND SOME OF IT IS JUST ROOTED IN IDOLATRY, YOU

KNOW, PREACHERS, I MEAN, SELFISM. IT'S ROOTED IN GOSSIP.

IT'S ROOTED IN LIES AND HALF PERSPECTIVES. AND IT'S ROOTED

AND IT'S, AND HONESTLY, IT'S TURNED THE BODY OF CHRIST INTO A

FIGHTING MACHINE RATHER THAN PEOPLE THAT KNOW HOW TO WALK IN

LOVE AND SELF-CONTROL. SO, IN FACT, I DID A WHOLE, NOW ALL OF

YOU THAT WATCH LORD OF HOSTS ON FACEBOOK, YOU CAN WATCH US HERE,

BUT GO TO OVTV. BUT WE'RE ACTUALLY, HANK AND I ARE ON A

LITTLE BIT OF A CAMPAIGN TO KEEP FACEBOOK, OR NOT JUST FACEBOOK,

ALL SOCIAL MEDIA, BECAUSE NOW WE HAVE SO MANY OF THESE PLATFORMS

TO KEEP IT HOLY, BUT IT CANNOT BECOME OUR LIFE. AND I'LL BE

HONEST WITH YOU, AND I JUST WANT TO ATTEST TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING,

I MADE A DECISION TO BE ON SOCIAL MEDIA LESS. NOT OPENING

THE APPS, NOT LOOKING, NOT POSTING, AND I LIKE TO, I'M ALL

FOR POSTING FUN THINGS. I LOVE TO COOK AND POST PICTURES AND DO

FUN THINGS LIKE THAT. WE LOVE TO POST THE BIBLE, RIGHT? BUT WE'RE

ALL SUSCEPTIBLE TO WHAT THOSE PLATFORMS SUGGEST TO YOU.

THERE'S PLENTY OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED TO ME I WISH

I DIDN'T SEE. AND THERE'S PLENTY OF THINGS, AND THE OTHER DEMONIC

PART OF SOCIAL MEDIA IS THE SCROLL. YOU KNOW, IT'S A

DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE. AND SO, I MADE A DECISION JUST AS LAST

YEAR THAT I WOULD SPEND A LOT LESS TIME OPENING ANY SOCIAL

PLATFORM. AND THERE ARE, I MAKE SURE OF IT, THAT THERE ARE DAYS,

AND YOU KNOW, ALL OF US WHO ARE IN THE PUBLIC MINISTRY KNOW YOU

DON'T LIKE TO READ EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU ANYWAY. AND, BUT THE

FACT IS, MY PEACE LEVEL WENT HIGHER. AND JUST READING ABOUT

OURSELVES. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT. I'M JUST, OUR BRAINS ARE

NOT MADE TO READ EVERY BAD STORY, EVERY INFIGHTING IN THE

BODY OF CHRIST. COME ON, THAT STUFF'S GOING TO END. EVERY

LITTLE TRAGIC THING, EVERY ACCIDENT, FIRE ISSUE, FALLEN

PREACHER, COME ON SOMEBODY. AND I CHOSE, I DECISION THAT I

NEEDED NOT TO BE LOOKING AT EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON LIKE

THAT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT I FOUND OUT? MY PEACE, MY COMFORT, MY

TRUST IN GOD, JUST IN THAT DECISION ALONE. FIRST OF ALL, IT

WASN'T A DISTRACTION, BUT JUST ELIMINATING THAT ONE

INTERFERENCE ALLOWED ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHUT MY MIND OFF

FROM EVERYTHING GOING ON, THAT CIRCUS THAT'S OUT THERE. I

BELIEVE THE DEVIL HAS USED, I MEAN, LOOK WHAT IT'S DOING TO

THE YOUNG GENERATION RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE CONFUSED, THEY'RE GENDER

CONFUSED, THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE, THEIR IDENTITY IS

UPSIDE DOWN, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW,

BECAUSE OF SOCIAL MEDIA, THE NAME OF THEIR GOD. I DO BELIEVE

YOU'RE ONTO A THING, THAT SOCIAL MEDIA HAS KEPT OUR MIND LIKE

THIS. IT'S LIKE THIS LOTTO MACHINE THING THAT'S JUST, AND

WE CAN'T... AND THE DEVIL WILL TARGET YOU WITH STORIES. THAT HE

KNOWS YOU LIKE. WELL, THAT HE KNOWS WILL PUT YOU IN FEAR. OH

YEAH, YEAH. BECAUSE I PROMISE YOU NOT, CAN I TELL ON MYSELF?

OF COURSE. YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS CONFESS YOUR FAULTS. I'VE

GOT A DAUGHTER THAT'S GETTING READY TO DRIVE. AND I'M GONNA BE

REAL. I'VE HAD SOME ANXIOUS MOMENTS. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE

SENDING YOUR PRECIOUS BABY, IT'S OUT TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE. AND

YOU KNOW, AND ON TOP OF THAT, PASTOR BRENDA AND I WENT THROUGH

A CAR WRECK, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THEN EVERYBODY OUT THERE, I'M

LIKE, NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE. I CAN'T, I DON'T WANNA SEND MY

BABY OUT 'CAUSE ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING, THEY DRIVE CRAZY.

AND THEN I PROMISE YOU, THE MINUTE I STARTED TO ENTERTAIN

THAT EVERYTHING ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA BEGAN TO BE THE SEX

TRAFFICKING TARGETING AND ALL OF THE THINGS AND THOSE WERE COMING

TO MY FEET. IT'S NOT THAT I ASKED FOR THEM TO BE THERE. I

DIDN'T ASK FOR THEM, I DIDN'T EVEN LOOK THEM UP. THEY STARTED

COMING INTO MY FEET BECAUSE IT WAS A TARGET FROM THE DEVIL. AND

THAT'S WHERE WE DO, I AGREE, WE HAVE TO TURN SOME OF THOSE

THINGS OFF BECAUSE THE DEVIL WILL USE THAT MEDIUM TO KEEP US

OUT OF FAITH, TO KEEP US IN FEAR, SO THAT THAT'S ALL THAT WE

SEE. I REMEMBER WHEN PASTOR, WITH THE 2020 PROPHECIES, AND IT

DID NOT LOOK LIKE HIS WORD WAS GONNA COME TO PASS, AND

EVERYTHING WAS TO THE CONTRARY, AND I MEAN, SOCIAL MEDIA WAS

BLOWING UP, AND I MEAN, THEY WERE CENSORING SOCIAL MEDIA. YOU

COULDN'T EVEN SAY, "LET THE EARTH BE FILLED WITH THE GLORY

OF GOD," AND YOUR FACEBOOK WOULD TARGET YOUR POST AND PULL IT

DOWN, AND I MEAN, IT WAS NASTY STUFF. AND I REMEMBER, YOU KNOW,

ALL THE NEWS OUTLETS, NOBODY WAS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE WORD OF

THE LORD. AND I FINALLY, I WAS LIKE, I TURNED OFF THE NEWS FOR

A WHOLE YEAR. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I WENT BACK AND I WAS LIKE, NO,

GOD, YOU KNOW WHAT? I KNOW THE CHARACTER OF THE PROPHET THAT

YOU PUT IN THIS HOUSE. I'VE SEEN THE TRACK RECORD. SO WHILE IT

DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THIS, I TURNED ALL OF THAT OFF. I KEPT LOOKING

AT THE LORD. AND SUDDENLY WE JUST KNEW THAT WE JUST KNEW IT

DIDN'T MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAID. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF THEY SAID

ALL THE PROPHETS MISSED IT. WE FOUND OUT, CANDY, THEY DIDN'T

MISS IT. YOUR HUSBAND DIDN'T MISS IT. THEY WERE RIGHT ON.

IT'S JUST THAT, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, SOMETIMES TO THE POINT THAT YOU

SAID, HE DIDN'T DO IT IN THE TIMELINE, WE THOUGHT THAT HE WAS

GOING TO DO IT. BUT BOY, HE SURE EXPOSED SOME THINGS ALONG THE

WAY, DIDN'T HE? WELL, BUT YEAH, AND I AGREE. AND I JUST THANK

YOU FOR BRINGING UP THE INTERNET, BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE

IT HAS BEEN A PRIMARY TOOL TO JUST SATURATE OUR BRAINS WITH

THE WRONG, AND IT'S KEEPING US, IT'S BECOME MORE OF A

DISTRACTION THAN A HELP. AND SO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE ANYBODY

HERE, NOW IF YOU'RE COMING SPECIFICALLY TO TURN ON THE

STREAM HERE, MANY OF YOU ARE E-MEMBERS THAT ARE OUT THERE,

AND E-MEMBERS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE THING. BUT MY KEY IS, IS I

HAVE BECOME WHERE I'M JUST, I'M NOT, I DON'T OPEN INSTAGRAM. I

MEAN, IT'S NO SURPRISE. OUR TEAM POSTS TO MY PAGE. I DON'T EVEN

DO IT. I JUST DON'T. AND HOLLY DOES A GREAT JOB. ALL OF HER

TEAM, THEY'RE SO GOOD. AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY THAT. I AM.

I'M NOT. IF IT'S A COOKING PICTURE. IF IT'S A COOKING

PICTURE, WELL, HOLLY STILL HAD TO HELP ME PUT IT OUT. BUT MY

POINT IS, IS I WAS ABLE TO GET MY OWN THOUGHTS IN ORDER AND MY

PEACE BACK BY JUST TURNING OFF THE INTERNET. AND CAN I

ENCOURAGE ONE MORE THING, AND I WANT THESE LADIES TO TALK. DON'T

JUST LET YOUR BIBLE BE ON A DEVICE. GET A GOOD OLD FASHIONED

BOOK BACK OUT. OPEN A BOOK, PUT YOUR PHONE IN THE OTHER ROOM.

AND YOU KNOW, MY KIDS GO CRAZY. THEY'RE LIKE, MOM, I CAN'T GET

AHOLD OF YOU. I'M LIKE, I KNOW, I LEFT MY PHONE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

PURPOSEFULLY, I JUST SOMETIMES NEED THAT. AND SO I THINK THAT

WAS SO, YES, I THINK THAT WAS SO GOOD THAT YOU BROUGHT THAT OUT

BECAUSE IT IS A KEY ISSUE WHY WE CAN'T CONTROL WHAT WE THINK.

IT'S HUGE. ANYBODY ELSE? IT IS. I WOULD LOVE TO PIGGYBACK ON

THAT TOO, BECAUSE I BELIEVE, UM, WELL, I'LL TELL YOU THIS. I WAS

READING IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND IT WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW THE

CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THINK IT WAS WHEN THE ASSYRIANS CAME AND TOOK

OVER AND IN SAMARIA AND THEY WORSHIP GOD, BUT THEY STILL

SERVED IDOLS. AND WHEN I READ THAT IT WAS LIKE INSTANTLY I

THOUGHT ABOUT OUR PHONES AND HOW MANY TIMES DO WE GO TO THAT

PHONE FOR THE ANSWER? HOW MANY TIMES DO WE FORGET TO GO TO THE

LORD AND WE'RE LIKE, WELL, LET ME JUST SCROLL AND FIND IT

MYSELF HOW MANY TIMES DO WE EAT FROM THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE

OF GOOD AND EVIL? YOU BETTER BREATHE. HOW MANY TIMES? AND

I'VE BEEN GUILTY MYSELF. SO I'M NOT JUST TALKING TO YOU. AND SO

THE LORD HAS BEEN CHALLENGING ME AND IMPRESSING ON ME, EVEN LIKE,

YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND NOW THE TREE OF

THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL IS SAYING, EAT ME FIRST. CHECK

ME FIRST, COME HERE FIRST. AND SO THE LORD HAS BEEN LIKE, NO,

SEEK ME FIRST. AT NIGHT BEFORE I GO TO BED, FOR ME, THIS IS WHAT

HE'S BEEN CHALLENGING ME TO DO. I PUT MY PHONE IN AIRPLANE MODE,

PUSH IT A LITTLE BIT AWAY FROM ME. AND IN THE MORNING, THE ONLY

THING I'M LOOKING AT IT FOR IS TO, WHAT TIME IS IT? AND NOW I'M

NOT CHECKING ANYTHING YET UNTIL I TALK WITH MY FATHER, TILL I'VE

SPENT TIME WITH HIM, TILL I SEEK HIM FIRST. HIS KINGDOM, HIS

RIGHT WAY OF DOING THINGS, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. AND THEN AT THE

APPROPRIATE TIME, THEN NOW I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A LITTLE MORE

DISCIPLINE IN MY FLESH TO LOOK AT IT WITHOUT IT BEING THE

UNHOLY DISTRACTION FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. BECAUSE IT CAN BE. I

MEAN, ALL OF US, WE KNOW, YOU CAN START LOOKING AT IT AND IT'S

SOMETHING GOOD. THAT FRUIT IS GOOD, BUT IT'S SPIKED WITH SOME

EVIL, BUT YOU DON'T TASTE THE EVIL YET. AND BEFORE YOU KNOW

IT, 15 MINUTES HAS TURNED INTO 30. 30 HAS TURNED INTO AN HOUR.

AN HOUR HAS TURNED INTO TWO. TWO HAS TURNED INTO THREE. AND

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU'VE WASTED ALL THE TIME THAT GOD

COULD HAVE BEEN USING US TO DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR THE KINGDOM.

AND SO FOR ME, I JUST FEEL LIKE WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL LEST IT

BECOMES OUR NEW IDOL. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE, WE DON'T

HAVE... AND I THINK IF WE WERE TO SHOW OUR DEVICES TO THE MEN

AND WOMEN OF OLD BACK IN THE BIBLE, WOULD THEY NOT SAY IT WAS

SORCERY? I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT IS. I'M JUST SAYING, BUT WOULD

THEY NOT THINK OF IT IN THAT WAY? ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO. NO,

WOULD THEY NOT THINK OF IT? AND I LIKE IT. I THINK, BUT MY POINT

IS, MY POINT, I THINK WE ARE CALLED TO USE IT WITHOUT IT

USING US. WHEN IT USES US, IT'S IMPROPER. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M

SAYING? BUT WHEN WE USE IT FOR THE RIGHT WAY AND IN THE RIGHT,

WITH THE RIGHT DISCIPLINE, THEN WE CAN USE IT AS A TOOL.

OTHERWISE IT'S USING US AND WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T WORSHIP GOD AND

SERVE IDOLS. WE JUST CAN'T DO BOTH. WE CAN'T DO THAT. KAREN'S

GOT HER MIC IN HER HAND. WELL, I JUST COULDN'T HELP IT WHEN SHE

SAID THAT TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL THING. I MEAN,

MAYBE THERE'S A REASON THAT APPLE'S ON THE BACK OF THAT

PHONE WITH A BITE ON IT. I MEAN, I'M JUST WONDERING. I'M JUST, I

JUST WONDER. DON'T YOU WONDER? COME ON. I DON'T KNOW, BUT YOU

KNOW, IT'S WEIRD BECAUSE THERE'S NO OTHER GENERATION EVER SINCE

ADAM THAT'S DEALT WITH THIS IDOL, THAT'S DEALT WITH THIS

THING THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. NO OTHER GENERATION HAS BEEN

DEALING WITH THIS BUT US. AND IT'S JUST BEEN THE LAST FEW

YEARS. AND IT'S WEIRD THAT THIS AI VOICE IS GETTING

LOUDER AND LOUDER. AND JESUS SAID IN JOHN 10, "MY SHEEP KNOW

MY VOICE AND A STRANGER'S VOICE THEY WON'T FOLLOW." BUT HE SAYS,

"BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW THE STRANGER'S VOICE." BUT WE'VE

BECOME SO FAMILIAR WITH THE STRANGER'S VOICE THAT IT'S THE

FATHER'S VOICE THAT'S STRANGE AND THE STRANGER'S VOICE THAT'S

COMMON. AND IT'S WEIRD. I WAS THINKING THE OTHER DAY ABOUT AI,

AND I DON'T KNOW, I AM NO EXPERT ON THIS, BUT DON'T YOU FIND IT

FASCINATING THAT THAT VOICE OF AI IS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER

AND WE ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE DEPENDENT ON THAT VOICE.

AND IT'S REALLY JUST THE CULMINATION OF ALL THE KNOWLEDGE

OF MEN. IF YOU WERE TO COMBINE ALL THE KNOWLEDGE OF MEN THAT'S

EVER AND THEY ARE PUTTING IT INTO THAT DEVICE AND THAT THING

SPITS OUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF MEN, WHICH IS BASICALLY BACK TO THE

TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. AND I DO THINK IT IS A

SOURCE OF OUR FEAR. IT'S FEEDING FEAR. IT'S FEEDING ANXIETY. SO

OUR CHILDREN ARE GRIPPED WITH ANXIETY. OUR CHILDREN ARE

GRIPPED WITH SUICIDE AND CONFUSION. AND SO ARE WE

BECAUSE WE'RE FEASTING ON THIS MESS. ANYWAY, JUST A

THOUGHT. YOU GOT IT GOING NOW. WE'RE IN A SNOWBALL

EFFECT BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT FEEDING THIS CONFUSION,

THESE DEVICES, THEY'RE ALSO IMPACTING JUST THE

GENERAL WAY THAT WE VIEW GOD. WE LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, I SEE MEMES

SOMETIMES, AND THEY SOUND GOOD. THEY PAINT A PICTURE OF GOD.

IT'S LIKE YOU SAID, WE SING CAN SING NONSENSE 'CAUSE THE TUNE IS

CATCHY. WE DO THE SAME THING ON OUR PHONES. AND THERE'S SOME OF

THEM ARE NOT BIBLICAL. THEY'RE NOT BIBLICAL. NOW I DON'T MEAN

TO, YOU KNOW, IN LORD OF HOSTS WE'RE PRETTY SEMI-BOLD HERE, BUT

I WILL TELL YOU, THIS JESUS, HE GETS US MOVEMENT THAT'S OUT,

THAT IS MAKING JESUS OUT TO BE JUST THIS SOCIAL PHILANTHROPIST,

THAT EVERYTHING THAT HUMANITY DOES, JESUS JUST ADAPTS TO IT.

YEAH, YEAH. THAT IS NOT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE. THAT'S RIGHT.

JESUS' VERY FIRST SERMON, THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON

SOCIAL. JESUS' VERY FIRST SERMON IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW WAS,

"REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND." IN OTHER

WORDS, TURN FROM WHERE YOU ARE. AND I THINK SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE

INTERNET IS TEACHING US THE VERY OPPOSITE. THAT GOD'S GOT TO

SOMEHOW ADAPT TO US. WE ARE IN A VICTIM, VICTIM CULTURE NOW.

WE'RE IN A CULTURE THAT WANTS EVERYTHING ON ITS TERMS. AND

THIS IS WHAT OUR PHONES ARE SATURATED WITH? IT IS. IT IS AN

ANTI-BIBLICAL, ANTI-CHRIST. IT IS. NOW, I UNDERSTAND. YOU'VE

GOT TO USE YOUR PHONE FOR YOUR ALARM CLOCK AND YOUR CALENDAR. I

UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT THE OTHER AREA THAT I'M HIGHLY CONCERNED

ABOUT THAT SOCIAL IS DOING, IT IS DESTROYING IN SOME MEASURES

THE BODY OF CHRIST. YES. PASTOR AND I HAVE TALKED ON THIS MANY,

MANY TIMES ABOUT THE DUMPSTER FIRE OF ARGUING, INFIGHTING IN

THE CHURCH. THAT IS, I MEAN, PEOPLE, LET'S JUST SAY IT. CAN

I, CAN WE, WE'RE JUST BEING HONEST HERE. GO AHEAD. PEOPLE

SAY THINGS IN COMMENT SECTIONS, YOU WOULD OUT A LETTER AND A

PIECE OF PAPER AND FOLD IT UP AND GO BUY A 20, WHAT ARE STAMPS

NOW, 30, 40 CENTS, THAT YOU WOULD GO, SEE WE DON'T EVEN

KNOW, THAT YOU WOULD GO FOLD UP AND PUT IN AN ENVELOPE AND SEND

TO A PREACHER AND HIS MINISTRY. NOW WE CAN JUST HURL OUT ANY

COMMENT, TAKE UP ANY STORY, AND I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, HALF

THE STORIES ABOUT THE MINISTERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA ARE HALF-TRUTHS.

THESE WATCHDOGS, OKAY, I'M GOING TO GET GOING NOW. YOU START IT.

THESE WATCHDOG GROUPS OUT THERE THAT ARE OUT THERE TO JUST HONE

IN ON SOMEONE'S MISFORTUNE, SOMEONE'S CHALLENGE, SOMEONE'S

DIFFICULTY, AND TRY TO DESTROY THEIR NAME IN THE NAME OF QUOTE

"PHARISAICAL RIGHTEOUSNESS" IS BEING FUELED ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND

SOMEWHERE THE BODY OF CHRIST HAS TO STAND UP AND SAY NO JESUS

SAID LOVE ONE ANOTHER, DEFEND ONE ANOTHER. GOD, GOD, YOU THINK

ABOUT DAVID WOULD NOT EVEN PUBLISH THE DEATH OF SAUL. HE

SAID LEST THE PHILISTINES REJOICE, LEST THEY REJOICE.

SOCIAL MEDIA IS ALSO DESTROYING US, THE CHURCH. WHILE WORLDLY

PEOPLE, PASTOR HANK SAID THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND YOU'VE HEARD

HIM PREACH ABOUT IT, THOSE OF YOU THAT GO HERE. YEARS AGO HE

PREACHED ABOUT SOME BIG ISSUE THAT WAS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST

AND EVERYBODY HAD WANTED HIM TO COMMENT. AND HE SAID I WENT TO

THE LORD. AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD SO IT SEEMED FOR ME TO

COMMENT, BUT I WENT TO GOD AND I SAID, "LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME

TO SAY?" AND THE LORD SAID, "I DON'T WANT YOU TO SAY ANYTHING.

I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO BE THE SPIRITUAL AMBULANCE TO EVERY

TOPIC THAT COMES UP." AND HE SAID, "OKAY." AND SO PEOPLE

PRESSED US. THEY WROTE TO THE MINISTRY. THEY CALLED. THEY

SAID, "WHAT DOES PASTOR HANK SAY?" THEY PUT IT IN THE

COMMENTS AND HE SAID, "THE LORD SAID, 'DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. I

DON'T WANT YOU TO.'" AND AS IT TURNED OUT, HE SAID, "BECAUSE

THE LORD SAID, 'IF YOU DO, IT'LL ONLY CREATE MORE DIVISION IN THE

BODY OF CHRIST.'" BECAUSE WHAT'S HAPPENED NOW, THIS IS WHAT

SOCIAL IS DONE, FOLKS. THIS IS WHY I BELIEVE, AND IT MAY SEEM

LIKE WE'RE GOING ON A LITTLE BIT OF A RABBIT TRAIL, BUT I BELIEVE

THIS IS A ROOT CAUSE. YOU OPENED SOMETHING, KAREN. AND SO HE

SAID, "IT'S ONLY GOING TO WORSEN THE DUMPSTER FIRE, AND IT'S ONLY

GOING TO MAKE IT MORE." BECAUSE HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENED NOW IN

THE CHURCH. NOW IT'S, AND THERE'S AN OLD BAD PHRASE TO SAY

IT, "YOU'RE DARNED IF YOU DO, AND YOU'RE DARNED IF YOU DON'T."

NO MATTER WHAT WE SAY ANYMORE, AS BELIEVERS, AS PREACHERS, COME

ON, YOU AS CHRISTIANS, YOU CAN PUT ANYTHING IN THE COMMENTS,

ANYTHING. YOU COULD TRY TO QUOTE GOD, MAKE YOUR HEART HURT, AND

SOMEBODY'S GOING TO COME AROUND WITH ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE AND

SHOOT IT DOWN AND HIT IT, AND THEN LET'S JUST FORGET, LET'S

NOT FORGET TO MENTION ALL OF THE TROLLS AND THE BOTS THAT ARE OUT

THERE. SO, FOLKS, THERE IS SOMETHING, I GHOST. THERE IS A

CAMPAIGN THAT GOD WANTS TO HAPPEN THAT WE NEED TO DO

SOMETHING BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO THE HANDLING OF THE INTERNET.

YOU MENTIONED IDOLATRY, SOCIAL FOLKS THAT'S FILLED WITH

HALF-TRUTHS, AND THIS NEEDS TO BE A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE IN

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IF WE WANT TO GET OUR PEACE BACK AND, TO YOUR

POINT, OVERCOME FEAR AND ANXIETY. YOU MENTIONED AI, AND

LET ME TELL YOU, I BELIEVE AI IS REALLY STRAIGHT FROM THE PIT OF

HELL. AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY I THINK, I MEAN, IT CAN BE A TOOL

IN SOME THINGS, I'M NOT SAYING, BUT REALITY IS, ANYMORE, PEOPLE

AREN'T GETTING BEFORE THE LORD TO STIR UP THEIR OWN WELL OF

ANOINTING. THEY'RE GOING TO AI TO HELP THEM FIGURE OUT HOW TO

BE CREATIVE HERE. THEY'RE USING IT FOR SONGWRITING. THEY'RE

USING IT FOR THEIR OWN WORDS. THEY'RE NOT LETTING THOSE THINGS

FLOW OUT OF THE WELL OF ANOINTING THAT WE'VE DONE

BECAUSE WE WANT IT RIGHT NOW. WE DON'T WANT TO SPEND TIME PRAYING

IN THE HOLY GHOST, WAITING ON GOD, HEARING FROM THE VOICE OF

GOD. NO, WE WANT TO GO TYPE IT INTO CHAT GPT AND IT'S GOING TO

GIVE US A LIST OF ALL OF THE THINGS. AND SEE, THOSE KIND OF

THINGS DON'T BUILD YOUR FAITH EITHER. IF WE DON'T LEARN TO TAP

INTO THE ANOINTING THAT'S ON THE INSIDE OF US, WE WILL NOT BE

PEOPLE OF FAITH. IF WE LET THE WORLD OR AI THAT HAS NO EMOTION,

NO SOUL, IT DOESN'T HAVE AN ANOINTING ON IT. SO IF WE'RE

ADDICTED TO AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, WHERE ARE WE

PULLING ON THE ANOINTING OF GOD TO KEEP US STRONG IN THE POWER

OF HIS MIGHT? SO THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. THERE'S

THESE THINGS, AND THEY CAN BE TOOLS, BUT OUR RELIANCE CANNOT

BE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. IT CANNOT BE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. IT

CAN'T BE ON CHAT GPT. LISTEN, IF YOU CAN'T SPEAK WITHOUT CHAT

GPT, THEN I THINK WE SHOULD GO BACK AND TALK TO MOSES. MOSES

WAS LIKE, "GOD, I STUTTER. I CAN'T STAND BEFORE THE PEOPLE."

WE WANT, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S THE OTHER THING TOO, WE'RE

LETTING SOCIAL MEDIA AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BECOME

OUR PERSONA. IT'S BECOMING HOW WE SHOULD DRESS, HOW WE SHOULD

BE, HOW WE SHOULD ACT. YOU KNOW, AND THIS WHOLE THING THAT WE'VE

BEEN TALKING ABOUT IN FEAR, I'M REMINDED OF THE RON CANOLE SONG,

"WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE? WE SHALL BELIEVE THE REPORT OF

THE LORD." YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HEAR THE REPORT OF THE LORD BY

RELYING ON THIS DEVICE ALL OF THE TIME. AND AI, IT CAN SOUND

ANOINTED. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WAS THE RIGHT ANSWER. JUST

BECAUSE IT SOUNDED GOOD IN YOUR EARS. MY GOODNESS, LADIES.

CANDY, WHAT SAY YOU? WELL, I MEAN, YOU GUYS ARE BLOWING MY

MIND. I THINK THIS IS AMAZING. KAREN STARTED IT. KAREN, IT'S

YOUR FAULT. SHE JUST POKED THE BEAR, I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW.

WELL, I WANNA GO BACK TO WHAT YOU GUYS WERE SAYING EARLIER

BECAUSE IN 2026, JOB SAID THIS, HE SAID, "I HAVE MADE A COVENANT

WITH MY EYES." AND SO IN 2026, THE THING THAT THE LORD SPOKE TO

ME WAS TO MAKE A COVENANT WITH MY EYES THAT I WOULD NOT SCROLL

MY PHONE, I WOULD NOT USE SOCIAL MEDIA UNTIL I HAD READ GOD'S

WORD. AND SO FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, I GO GET MY COFFEE AND

SIT WITH MY CHIHUAHUAS AND WE READ OUR BIBLE TOGETHER AND WE

PRAY. SERIOUSLY, THOUGH, BUT I HAVE FOUND THAT MY MIND IS A LOT

QUIETER THROUGH THE DAY. AND, YOU KNOW, YES, IT'S IMPORTANT TO

TAKE EVERY THOUGHT INTO CAPTIVITY, THINK ON THESE

THINGS, WHATEVER IS GOOD. AND IT'S WONDERFUL TO DO THAT. BUT

WHAT IS IT MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO SAY ABOUT AN OUNCE OF

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN A POUND OF CURE. AND SO THE SMALL

THINGS OF MEDITATING AND BEING STILL BEFORE GOD, I FIND THAT

WHEN I STARTED MY DAY, AND I DID IT FOR YEARS, I STARTED MY DAY

SCROLLING MY PHONE, AND I FOUND THAT MY MIND SCROLLED ALL DAY

LONG. AND SO JUST FLIPPING ALL DAY LONG, BUT I FOUND THAT I

COULD BRING EVERY THOUGHT INTO CAPTIVITY, AND THAT I COULD

THINK ON THESE THINGS, BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY BEEN STILL BEFORE

GOD. MY MIND WAS IN A STILLER PLACE. WHAT IS IT PSALM 1 SAID?

"BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT WALKETH NOT IN THE COUNSEL OF THE

UNGODLY, OR STANDETH IN THE WAY OF SINNERS, NOR SITTETH IN THE

SEAT OF THE SCORNFUL." BUT HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW OF THE

LORD. AND IN HIS LAW DOES HE MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT. AND HE

SHALL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY RIVERS OF WATER THAT BRINGETH

FORTH HIS FRUIT IN HIS SEASON. AND SO WE AS BELIEVERS, NOT TO

QUOTE MORE SCRIPTURE, BUT HEBREWS 10, PAUL WRITES THIS AND

HE SAID, WE THINK PAUL, SAID, "I BESEECH YOU THEREFORE, BRETHREN,

BY THE MERCIES OF GOD, THAT YOU PRESENT YOUR BODIES AS A LIVING

SACRIFICE." AND SOMETIMES IT IS A SACRIFICE TO PUT GOD FIRST, TO

TITHE YOUR MOURNING. AND SOME OF YOU GET UP SO EARLY TO GO TO

WORK OR YOU HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES. BUT, AND SO

MAYBE IT'S NOT THE FIRST THING, BUT WHEN WE PUT GOD FIRST AND

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD, THEN WHEN TEMPTATIONS OF FEAR AND ANXIETY

AND ALL THOSE THINGS COME, THEN IT'S MUCH EASIER TO LIVE IN

PEACE AND TO BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY

SUBMITTED OUR MINDS TO GOD. SO... CAN I THROW ONE OTHER

THING OUT WHILE WE'RE ON THIS THING ABOUT THE INTERNET? WHAT

COMES ALSO TO MY SPIRIT IS THE SPIRIT OF DECEPTION. I THINK WE

STARTED ON IT A LITTLE BIT, BUT JESUS IN MATTHEW 24, HE TAUGHT

ON THE END TIMES. AND A LOT OF TIMES WE FOCUS ON THE WARS, THE

RUMORS OF WARS AND THOSE THINGS. BUT THREE TIMES IN THAT CHAPTER,

HE EMPHASIZED THE PHRASE, "SEE THAT NO MAN DECEIVES YOU." THAT

WAS THE KEY. IN OTHER WORDS, THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

WOULD EARMARK THE LAST DAYS WOULD BE DECEPTION. AND IT'S

EASY TO SEE NOW THAT WE HAVE THESE THINGS, THAT THERE ARE

DECEIVERS EN MASSE ONLINE. YOU KNOW, THE NEWS MEDIA USED TO BE,

YOU KNOW, IT WOULD JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY USED TO SAY SMITH

WIGGLESWORTH WOULDN'T ALLOW A NEWSPAPER IN HIS HOUSE BECAUSE

HE WOULD SAY THE HEADLINES ARE GOING TO MISLEAD YOU. AND HE

WOULDN'T ALLOW. AND SO THAT WAS THEN WHEN THEY ONLY HAD THE

LOCAL PAPER. AND NOW I THOUGHT OF THAT AND I THOUGHT, WELL,

LORD, OUR THUMB IS DOING THIS ALL DAY AND WE'RE GETTING ALL

THESE STORIES. I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU, CAN I GIVE YOU A GOOD

EXAMPLE? HOW MANY OF YOU WERE HERE WHEN PASTOR HANK A FEW

WEEKS AGO, AND I'M NOT SAYING THIS FOR OUR OWN SELF-PITY, BUT

I'M JUST SHOWING YOU AN EXAMPLE OF HOW DECEPTIVE THE INTERNET

IS. AND HOW MANY OF YOU WERE HERE WHEN PASTOR HANK SAYS, I

NEED HELP WITH THE TRAVEL FUND SO I CAN GO TO SOME OF THESE

FLASH POINTS AND AVOID THE AIRPORTS BECAUSE I CAN'T GET

THERE AND GET BACK ON SUNDAY TO PASS FOR YOU. I'M TELLING YOU,

THE LIBERAL MEDIA HAD A HEYDAY WITH THAT. AND THERE WAS A QUOTE

UNQUOTE CHRISTIAN OUTLET, WHO SAID, PASTOR ASKED HIS

CONGREGATION TO BUY HIM AN AIRPLANE.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

WELL, THAT IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY WHAT IT WAS. NOW, THEY NEVER

SAID THAT IN THE ARTICLE. AND IT HIT ME, THEY NEVER SAID IT IN

THE ARTICLE, THEY JUST SAID IT IN THE HEADLINE. AND HERE'S WHAT

HIT ME. MOST OF THESE HEADLINES, AND I'M JUST USING THAT ONE AS

AN EXAMPLE, WE DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY. YOU KNOW, THEY CAN

BLOW IT OUT THEIR EAR FOR ALL I CARE. I'M LIKE, I DON'T CARE,

YOU JUST SENT PASTOR HANK TO THREE FLASHPOINT TRIPS, I'M FINE

WITH THAT. SO HE COULD BE A PROPHET TO THE NATION THAT'S IN

FEAR. BUT IT DID HIT ME, HOW MANY OF THESE CLICKBAITS ARE

THERE? THEY HAVE THEM WITH OUR HEALTH? AND HAVE YOU EVER JUST

PAUSED TO GO PAST THE HEADLINE AND ACTUALLY READ THE ARTICLE?

AND IT'S DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE HEADLINE SAYS. TOTALLY

DIFFERENT. IT'S THIS CLICKBAIT. IT'S A DECEPTION. BECAUSE

THEY'RE BANKING ON THE FACT YOU'LL NEVER READ THE FACTS.

THEY'RE BANKING ON THE FACT YOU'LL JUST LOOK AT THE HEADLINE

AND FORM A BELIEF AND MOVE ON. TAKE HEED, JESUS SAID, THAT NO

MAN DECEIVES YOU. I ALSO THINK WHAT'S KEY NOW IS IN OUR MINDS

TAKING CONTROL OF ANXIETIES AND FEARS AND TRUSTING GOD IS

WARDING OFF THE SPIRIT OF DECEPTION. AND THIS IS A

DECEIVED CULTURE. I THINK THAT'S WHY... YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY,

JESUS KNEW BEFORE. THAT IN THE LAST DAYS, PERILOUS TIMES WILL

COME. AND THIS CULTURE'S LACED WITH DECEPTION. I JUST WANNA ADD

ONE QUICK LITTLE THING, AND I'LL GET IT RIGHT BACK TO YOU. BUT

THIS IS SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW. THIS HAS COME UP IN MY

SPIRIT, AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS. THAT THERE ARE BILLIONS OF

DOLLARS SPENT ON PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS TO LEARN HOW

TO WORK YOU. ALL RIGHT, AND SO, WATCH THIS. SOCIAL MEDIA WILL

PLAY ALL THESE WARM PUPPY VIDEOS AND MAMA CATS NURSING BABY LAMBS

AND ALL, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING, TO GET YOU ALL WARM AND

FUZZY. I LOVE THOSE PUPPY VIDEOS. BUT AFTER THREE OR FOUR

OF THEM, THEN WILL COME THE ADVERTISEMENT OF THE THING YOU

LIKE TO CLICK ON. BLOOMINGDALE'S, NORDSTROM,

SEPHORA, ZARA, WHATEVER IT IS. AND YOUR GUARD IS DOWN. YOU'RE

ALL WARM AND FUZZY, AND YOU'RE MORE APT TO BUY THEIR ARTICLES.

YOU'RE GONNA SPEND MONEY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE BUYING SOMETHING

YOU DON'T NEED TO IMPRESS PEOPLE THAT YOU DON'T LIKE.

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

DID I SAY THAT?

(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

I AM, I AM, I AM SO SORRY. MY FILTER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT

HAPPENED. YOU JUST READ EVERYBODY, THAT PSYCHOLOGY.

SORRY. JUST TAPPED EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM. SORRY, BUT IT'S TRUE.

SO JUST BEWARE, BE CAREFUL, OKAY? ON THE WARM AND FUZZY

VIDEOS, HERE'S GONNA COME THE THING TO GET YOUR MONEY, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT, SO HERE'S WHAT I WANNA DO. GUYS, LET'S TAKE ABOUT

60 SECONDS EACH OF YOU, WOULD YOU? AND JUST PRAY FOR THE

LADIES HERE. ARE WE STREAMING, ARE WE STREAMING? GIVE ME A

THUMBS UP, I DON'T KNOW, ARE WE STREAMING? YES, PRAY FOR THE

PEOPLE HERE AND ONLINE, JUST IN WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, TAKE 60

SECONDS EACH OF YOU, WE'LL START WITH KAREN OR CANDY AND WE'LL

WORK AROUND. FATHER, YOU'RE EVERYTHING TO US. YOU ARE OUR

LIFE, OUR STRENGTH. LORD, WE ARE ASKING YOU AND I AM ASKING YOU

FOR EACH ONE OF THESE WOMEN IN THIS ROOM AND ONLINE THAT YOU

WOULD HELP US. OH, SPIRIT OF GOD, HELP HER. HELP US TO FOCUS.

HELP US TO HEAR YOUR VOICE. FATHER, I THANK YOU THAT YOU'RE

GIVING US THE STRENGTH TO NOT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT TO

PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING AND TO TRUST YOU FULLY WITH ALL OF OUR

HEARTS. LORD, ANOINT THESE WOMEN, ANOINT THEIR MIND TO

RECEIVE, ANOINT THEIR HEARTS TO BE CHANGED. IN JESUS NAME WE

WANT TO FOLLOW YOU. AMEN. CANDY. SO, FATHER, IN THE NAME OF

JESUS, LORD, I ASK YOU TO BE A SHIELD. THOU ART A SHIELD ABOUT

US, OUR GLORY AND THE LIFTER OF OUR HEAD. AND SO, LORD, I ASK

YOU TO BE A SHIELD ABOUT ALL THESE LADIES THAT ARE IN THE

ROOM AND THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE AND ALL OF THOSE EVEN

THAT ARE CONNECTED WITH US AND WITH LORD OF HOSTS. FATHER, THAT

WE WOULD NOT BE DECEIVED IN THE LAST DAYS. LORD, YOU SAID THAT

EVEN THE VERY ELECT, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE. SO GOD, I PRAY TODAY

THAT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE THAT WE WOULD BE DECEIVED. BUT LORD,

THAT YOU WOULD GIVE US DISCERNMENT. LORD, THAT YOU

WOULD ENLIGHTEN THE EYES OF OUR UNDERSTANDING, OH GOD, THAT WE

WOULD KNOW AND SEE. AND LORD, THAT NOT ONLY WOULD WE KNOW AND

SEE, BUT LORD, THAT WE WOULD BE A LIGHT IN A DARK GENERATION,

THAT WE, GOD, WOULD BE A LIGHT, A CITY WHO IS SET ON A HILL THAT

CANNOT BE HID. USE US FOR YOUR GLORY IN THIS TIME AND IN THIS

SEASON. I WANNA THANK YOU THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US THIS

REVELATION, THAT YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO US TODAY, THAT YOU GUIDED

THIS CONVERSATION SO THAT WE WOULD BE WISER AND KNOW, AND

GOD, WE JUST THANK YOU FOR IT IN JESUS' NAME. IN JESUS' NAME,

NICOLE. LORD, I THANK YOU THAT EVEN AS MY SISTERS HAVE PRAYED,

LORD, I PRAY THAT EVEN MY SISTERS WHO ARE LISTENING, LORD,

THAT YOU WOULD CONTINUE TO GIVE THEM STRATEGY, LORD, TO KNOW HOW

TO ORDER THEIR DAY AND TO DO THOSE THINGS THAT THEY ARE

HEARING YOU TO TELL THEM TO DO, LORD. AND I PRAY THAT AS THEY

TAKE THEIR STAND, LORD, THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO STAND IN

TRUTH, THE BELT OF TRUTH AROUND THEIR WAIST, LORD. I PRAY THAT

THEY WOULD STAND IN SHOES OF PEACE. I PRAY THAT THEY WOULD

STAND IN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, LORD, THAT THEY WOULD STAND IN

YOUR SALVATION. THEY WOULD STAND IN FAITH, LORD. I PRAY THAT THEY

WOULD ALSO STAND IN YOUR WORD, LORD, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE

WOMEN OF PRAYER. SO LORD, I PRAY THAT THEY WOULD BE BLESSED AND

THAT THEY WOULD DO THOSE THINGS THAT YOU SHOW THEM TO DO AND

THAT THEY WOULD STAND IN THE POSITION THAT YOU'VE CALLED THEM

TO STAND IN AND THAT YOU WOULD BLESS THEM IN JESUS'S NAME.

PASTOR CHRISTY, BRING IT HOME. AMEN. NOW, FATHER, WE THANK YOU

THAT YOU HAVE NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER,

LOVE AND A SOUND MIND. AND FATHER, WE DON'T SERVE A SMALL

GOD. WE SERVE THE GREAT GOD JEHOVAH. SO FATHER, TODAY OF WHO

YOU ARE. AND RIGHT NOW I SPEAK TO EVERY DEMON OF FEAR, EVERY

DEMON OF DECEPTION, EVERY DEMON OF DEPRESSION THAT HAS BEEN

BINDING ANYONE'S MINDS RIGHT NOW. ANY SPIRIT OF FEAR THAT HAS

ATTACKED ANYONE IN THE NIGHT SEASON, IN THE DAY SEASON, AT

ANY HOUR, WE BREAK YOUR POWER IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS. WE SAY

THAT THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY IS UPON US, THAT THE ANGELS OF THE

LORD ENCAMP AROUND ABOUT US AND WE WILL NOT DASH OUR FOOT

AGAINST THE STONE. WE WILL LIVE STRONG IN THIS EARTH. WE WILL

LIVE MIGHTY IN THIS EARTH. WE WILL FULFILL THE CALL OF GOD

THAT IS UPON OUR LIFE. WE WILL NOT GO TO THE RIGHT, WE WILL NOT

GO TO THE LEFT, BUT WE CHOOSE TO SEE THE GOD WHO IS SEATED UPON

THE THRONE. LORD, WE LIFT OUR EYES TO THE HILLS WHERE OUR HELP

COMES FROM AND WE SERVE THE LORD GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, OUR

CREATOR, OUR MIGHTY ONE, OUR HOLY ONE. YOU, OH GOD, DESERVE

THE GLORY. YOU, OH GOD, DESERVE THE HONOR. AND YOU WILL NOT BE

MOVED. AND SO, FATHER, WE WILL NOT BE MOVED, BECAUSE WE WILL

HIDE OURSELVES IN YOUR SHELTER, IN YOUR SECRET PLACE, AND IN

YOUR REFUGE. AND WE STAND UPON THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION, AND

WE SAY, "GREAT IS OUR GOD AND GREATLY TO BE PRAISED." AND IN

THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS, WE SHALL LIVE STRONG. HALLELUJAH.

COME ON, I THINK YOU OUGHT TO STAND TO YOUR FEET. COME ON,

GIVE GOD A GREAT BIG PRAISE. COME ON, TELL HIM ONE MORE TIME,

WON'T HE DO IT? WON'T HE DO IT? WOO, GIVE THESE LADIES A HAND.

GOD BLESS YOU, BLESS YOU, BLESS YOU. THIS WAS SO GOOD. WELL,

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK AND THE AFTERNOON SERVICE

STARTS IN 15 MINUTES. SO GO OUT, GO POTTY, COME BACK.
