  1. So the theme for this year is hallway revival.

  2. So revival doesn't stop at a conference.

  3. Revival doesn't stop with Domino.

  4. How many were a part of Domino Day yesterday?

  5. How many.

  6. Okay, okay.

  7. How many heard miracles or saw testimonies of miracles or experienced

  8. a miracle?

  9. So God is on the move.

  10. But revival doesn't have to just be in a conference.

  11. And what we're hoping to do is.

  12. To push you out of your comfort.

  13. Zone this year to say, I'm taking revival into my house, into

  14. my apartment.

  15. Into my hallway at work, into my hallway in my.

  16. Like, I'm taking revival with me.

  17. I am revival.

  18. How many are willing to do that this year?

  19. In 2025?

  20. We don't just attend a revival.

  21. It's not a three event.

  22. This is a lifestyle.

  23. And so I want to.

  24. But here's the thing.

  25. There are enemies to revival.

  26. And the kind of revival that I'm talking about tonight is not

  27. the revival.

  28. That we see in community.

  29. It's not the revival that we see in culture or maybe globally,

  30. nationally, regionally.

  31. I'm talking about personal revival.

  32. There are enemies to the awakening that God wants to do in

  33. your life.

  34. Now, I know that we have theologians and people who like to

  35. quantify everything and they have all this mathematic equation

  36. for what are the metrics for revival.

  37. But when your whole family gets saved.

  38. You believe it's revival.

  39. When your spouse gets saved, that you've been praying and believing

  40. God for, it's revival.

  41. Tell me it's not.

  42. But there are enemies to revival.

  43. And so how many note takers do we have in the house?

  44. I'm going to try to keep this.

  45. Message as short as I can, but I really want this to get into the

  46. DNA of our women, because last year we were narrow gay women.

  47. This year we're carriers of revival.

  48. But there are enemies that want to rob and choke the seed of

  49. revival.

  50. I am a product of multi generational revival culture.

  51. My parents had a van and we went from revival to revival to revival.

  52. We watched Brownsville when it came on the news.

  53. We went to revival sites.

  54. We experienced glory.

  55. We experienced angelic manifestations in our services.

  56. We saw glory clouds.

  57. We have seen what God can do in corporate revival.

  58. But I have also seen revival when I was a wife who was single,

  59. who was believing God for an alcoholic husband who was running

  60. from the Lord.

  61. Revival doesn't stop at events.

  62. Revival is heart culture.

  63. How many want to be a carrier of revival?

  64. You got to know your enemy.

  65. You got to know the enemies of revival.

  66. The enemies of revival are Discouragement, despair, depression,

  67. shame.

  68. And so I titled this message Haman, Herod and hallways.

  69. Haman, Herod and hallways.

  70. I'm gonna read this chunk of scripture to you.

  71. It says these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet

  72. sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders of the exiles, say

  73. exiles, and to the priests and the prophets and all the people who

  74. Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile.

  75. I'm gonna skip a few parts of the long names that I don't wanna

  76. say because I don't wanna end up on the interwebs.

  77. It continues on.

  78. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles

  79. whom I've sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, listen to what

  80. the Lord says.

  81. Build houses, live in them.

  82. Plant gardens and eat their produce.

  83. Take wives and have sons and daughters.

  84. Take wives for your sons.

  85. Give your daughters into marriage that they may bear sons

  86. and daughters.

  87. Multiply there and do not decrease.

  88. Turn to your sister and say, do not decrease.

  89. Do not decrease.

  90. Do not decrease.

  91. Do not decrease.

  92. Come on, get that in your spirit.

  93. Do not decrease in this season.

  94. Do not decrease in 2025, the frizz can decrease.

  95. We're not decreasing this year.

  96. We're not decreasing our faith for our family this year.

  97. We're not decreasing our faith for our wayward husbands this year.

  98. We're not decreasing our faith that we.

  99. Are going to be married and have children this year.

  100. We're not decreasing our faith for finances over here.

  101. We're not decreasing our faith.

  102. Do not decrease.

  103. But seek the welfare of the city.

  104. I have sent you into exile and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for

  105. in its welfare you will find your welfare.

  106. For thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel.

  107. Do not let your prophets or your diviners who are among you deceive

  108. you.

  109. Do not listen to the dreams that they dream for it is a lie.

  110. They are prophesying to you in my name.

  111. I did not send them, declares the Lord.

  112. There's a lot of people trying to speak into your life that ain't

  113. got no business because it's better for them when you decrease.

  114. I'm not decreasing in 2025.

  115. Decrease is an enemy of revival.

  116. For the lord says, when 70 years are completed for Babylon,

  117. I will visit you and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring

  118. you back to this place.

  119. Here's the thing.

  120. Get this in your gut.

  121. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.

  122. Come on, somebody, stand to your feet.

  123. For I know the plans that I have for you.

  124. Says the Lord.

  125. I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.

  126. Plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a

  127. hope.

  128. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me.

  129. And I will hear you.

  130. He hears you.

  131. In 2025, I will be found by you, declares the Lord.

  132. I will restore, restore, restore, restore, restore your fortunes

  133. and gather you from all the nations and places where I have driven

  134. you, declares the Lord.

  135. I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into

  136. exile.

  137. Can we just thank the Lord for his word?

  138. Oh, we stand on your word tonight, Jesus.

  139. Come on, lift your hands in agreement, Lord.

  140. We stand on your word.

  141. We stand on your word.

  142. You have plans for us, good plans.

  143. For us, God, that you have no plans to leave us in an exiled state,

  144. God.

  145. But you have plans for increase in 2025.

  146. You have plans for revival in 2025.

  147. And I will not decrease my faith in Jesus.

  148. Mighty name.

  149. Go ahead and have your seat.

  150. We're talking about hallways.

  151. Hallways connect from one room to another.

  152. How many heard Minister Cheryl's word that she gave on the

  153. stream just a few nights ago when she declared how we're entering

  154. from one room into another.

  155. So right now you have the Israelites.

  156. In that passage of scripture in Jeremiah, and they're dealing

  157. with the depression, the trauma, the despair, the death, the

  158. desolation.

  159. And the exiles.

  160. They said to the elders that were left, can you imagine having

  161. just a few pastors left?

  162. And still a promise is waiting, still a promise is standing,

  163. still a hope is alive.

  164. And here's the word that I need you to get in your gut.

  165. Exile doesn't mean abandonment.

  166. Exile doesn't.

  167. This room needs to hear it.

  168. Exile doesn't mean abandonment.

  169. Exile doesn't mean aborted destiny.

  170. It's a waiting room.

  171. Tell your sister, say, stay ready.

  172. Stay locked in.

  173. Come on, tell your sister, say, we're getting the hairspray.

  174. We're getting the good eyelash glue.

  175. We're getting the good nail glue.

  176. We're getting the edges down.

  177. Locking in my exile is an abandonment.

  178. My exile isn't rejection.

  179. My exile isn't death.

  180. Or you could say it like this.

  181. My trauma isn't abandonment.

  182. My trauma isn't rejection.

  183. My trauma isn't the death of revival.

  184. Or maybe it's like this.

  185. Maybe you're not going through trauma.

  186. Maybe you feel stuck.

  187. My pit is not abandonment.

  188. My pit is not rejection.

  189. My pit is not the death of my destiny.

  190. I'm prophesying from a former pit dweller.

  191. I'm Prophesying.

  192. Some days from the pit.

  193. Some days I don't feel like I'm at the table of anything.

  194. Some days I feel like I'm in the pit.

  195. I'm worshiping from the pit on certain days.

  196. I'm believing for revival from the pit in certain seasons.

  197. We gotta stay ready, ladies.

  198. We gotta stay ready.

  199. We gotta stay ready because I'm not in exile.

  200. I'm in a hallway.

  201. I'm passing.

  202. I'm passing.

  203. I'm passing.

  204. I'm passing.

  205. I'm not staying.

  206. I'm not dwelling.

  207. There's a word of the Lord to.

  208. The remaining ones who are left that.

  209. I have plans, purposes and a destiny.

  210. I am in a hallway.

  211. I am coming out.

  212. I am getting ready to enter into another room.

  213. Revival isn't over.

  214. I have not seen my best days.

  215. I haven't seen my best encounter.

  216. I haven't seen sang my best worship song.

  217. I am coming into a season of revival, and I'm staying ready.

  218. I'm not decreasing for you.

  219. I'm not decreasing because you don't like me.

  220. I'm not decreasing because you think I'm doing too much.

  221. I'm not decreasing because I'm not dressed all the time and have

  222. my makeup done all the time.

  223. I'm believing for revival because it is my inheritance.

  224. I didn't come from money.

  225. I came from revivalists.

  226. I didn't come from a long line of people who had wealth.

  227. I came from people who were craving the presence of God.

  228. This is my inheritance.

  229. You have an inheritance.

  230. Some of you didn't come from money either.

  231. And if you did, 1159.

  232. Let's go.

  233. Long Island Building.

  234. Right?

  235. Pastor Execa, let's go.

  236. But because you're in my house.

  237. We share a heritage.

  238. We will see our best days.

  239. Our children will serve the Lord.

  240. Our children will be in atmospheres of revival.

  241. We will see physical manifestations of his presence.

  242. I'm not giving up on what God hasn't even done yet.

  243. I'm believing for more.

  244. So here's the thing.

  245. But if you're going to be a.

  246. Revivalist, there are going to be enemies.

  247. People say I don't even focus on the devil.

  248. Well, you're dumb, because he's studying you.

  249. He knows you.

  250. He's organized.

  251. He's got a whole plan of attack.

  252. And let me tell you, honey, I do want to know who my enemies are.

  253. You're not getting to revival point number one.

  254. You are not getting there without resistance.

  255. Pharaoh versus Moses, Saul versus David.

  256. Haman versus Mordecai, Herod versus Jesus.

  257. Satan versus the seed.

  258. We are not getting out without opposition.

  259. It's so hard.

  260. Pull your panties up.

  261. Pull your Spanx up.

  262. You gotta fight for something worth fighting for.

  263. Guess what?

  264. It is hard.

  265. If you're anointed, you have enemies.

  266. And if you're real anointed, you got frenemies.

  267. Bye.

  268. But they said they love me.

  269. Pull the knife out of your back.

  270. Get back in line.

  271. We are having revival.

  272. The presence of God is not stopping for you.

  273. We gotta move with the cloud.

  274. We gotta move with the fire.

  275. If you nurse the wound and you set up camp in exile, if your womb

  276. shuts down in the pit in exile, you are going to miss what

  277. God has.

  278. Opposition confirms anointing.

  279. Every time I get a new enemy or a new frenemy, I say, thank you,

  280. Lord.

  281. Thank you, Jesus.

  282. I mean, I don't say it right away.

  283. Sometimes I cut off all my hair first.

  284. And then I say if.

  285. You know, you know, Britney Spears makes a lot more sense every

  286. year.

  287. Girl, I get you.

  288. I see you.

  289. God's coming for you.

  290. Shaving your head.

  291. Okay, okay, you got it.

  292. The young ones are a little confused, but Google it.

  293. Google it, Google it.

  294. Opposition confirms anointing.

  295. If everybody loves you, you might not be doing everything right.

  296. The Bible is offensive.

  297. God's word is offensive.

  298. When you say there is no other way to the Father but Jesus, that

  299. offends people.

  300. Go try it out there.

  301. I give you about two minutes.

  302. Ask our 3P team.

  303. Ask our evangelism team.

  304. They will gladly tell you about their encounters.

  305. Opposition confirms assignment.

  306. Some of you have been so confused.

  307. Why is it so hard for my family to accept?

  308. They liked me better drunk.

  309. They liked me better addicted.

  310. They liked me better when I did it.

  311. Tied my money and I gave all my money.

  312. But the thing about it is freedom is offensive.

  313. Trauma bonds.

  314. We bond when we gossip.

  315. We bond when we talk about who hurt us.

  316. We bond when we belittle other people.

  317. We bond when we talk about how.

  318. We'Re never going to forgive them.

  319. We bond when we lie about them and steal from them and talk.

  320. Do you.

  321. Do you see what I'm saying?

  322. Freedom is offensive.

  323. Your freedom makes people uncomfortable.

  324. But the opposition confirms the anointing.

  325. I didn't restore my marriage for ministry.

  326. It don't pay that good.

  327. It wasn't worth all that.

  328. I didn't restore my family for influence or clout.

  329. Because it wasn't worth all that.

  330. I didn't give up ministry for a reputation.

  331. Because I don't care that much if, you know, my personality I stayed

  332. standing because the Lord asked it of me.

  333. And I said yes completely because I desire revival over immediate

  334. gratification.

  335. I desire God's word over what my flesh wanted.

  336. I said yes completely because I believe there's a generational

  337. anointing for coming in alignment with his Word.

  338. But I had to prophesy from exile.

  339. See, the word of the Lord had to come to them to remind them, don't

  340. stop having children.

  341. Don't stop making a home.

  342. Don't stop creating a family.

  343. Don't stop going after freedom.

  344. Don't stop.

  345. Stop honoring the Sabbath.

  346. Don't stop the things that I put into your DNA because you're

  347. in captivity.

  348. Because if you know anything about opposition, it affirms the

  349. anointing.

  350. It's not the time to decrease.

  351. In 2025, the enemy of revival is Dec.

  352. You would not believe how many times I wanted to give up in the

  353. last 10 years.

  354. You wouldn't believe how many times I wanted to give up in the

  355. last 20.

  356. It has been a fight, and the fight has changed.

  357. It's been different faces.

  358. It's been different seasons.

  359. In one season, it was marriage.

  360. In one season, it was addiction.

  361. In one season, it was pride.

  362. In one season, it was betrayal.

  363. In one season, it was depression.

  364. But guess what?

  365. I keep singing from the pit.

  366. I keep prophesying from the pit.

  367. I keep prophesying from the pit.

  368. I keep multiplying in exile.

  369. I keep saying, lord, my womb is open for whatever you want to

  370. birth through me.

  371. Lord, I am not decreasing in exile.

  372. I'm not decreasing in trauma.

  373. I'm not decreasing from my pit.

  374. What is your pit tonight?

  375. Cuz you can't get out of a pit alone.

  376. You can't get out of exile alone.

  377. You need a girl to pull you out.

  378. That's what we're here tonight.

  379. So an enemy of revival, public shame and isolation, Haman and Herod.

  380. I kept seeing when we were planting this church, it was very

  381. difficult.

  382. We didn't have money, our family was young.

  383. We didn't have support when we were poor.

  384. And let me just tell you, because, like, New York City poor

  385. and Indiana poor are two different kinds of poor.

  386. Because the poor people out here have like Louis Vuitton bags.

  387. You know what I'm saying?

  388. They have Botox, they have hair.

  389. I'm like, I don't.

  390. We don't have this here.

  391. Like, dang, you guys look good.

  392. It's a different kind.

  393. I mean, here you could be poor.

  394. And you could go to the dentist, the doctor.

  395. Like, you're thriving.

  396. Indiana.

  397. They're like, well, we got some bad news.

  398. If you can't pay for the this, you're gonna die.

  399. I was just keeping it real.

  400. And if.

  401. Am I lying?

  402. It's rough, okay?

  403. Somebody said, no.

  404. Oh, hey.

  405. Public shame and isolation.

  406. So as we were getting ready to.

  407. To plant this church, when we were.

  408. This is when Evie was just a baby, you know, there was this person

  409. in our life, and he was just really, really mean to us and whatever.

  410. It's a whole thing.

  411. We've talked about it a million times.

  412. Anyways, the Lord spoke to me and said, the Spirit of Herod.

  413. Now I'm postpartum at that juncture, and I'm half crazy.

  414. And at the time, although we did spiritual warfare, that wasn't

  415. a highlight to our ministry.

  416. The highlight of our ministry was eventually that's what we were

  417. really focused on.

  418. So, like, the Spirit of Herod.

  419. I don't even have time.

  420. We did not have chatgpt.

  421. I could not get a background data.

  422. I mean, I did not have a phone with, like, a screen, like, for real.

  423. This is.

  424. I had, like, a burner phone.

  425. Cause I kept.

  426. You know, we were poor, so I'm like, spirit of Herod.

  427. Okay?

  428. And I kind of jotted it down, and I went on my way.

  429. Spirit of Herod.

  430. All right.

  431. I go on.

  432. And all of a sudden, I get news maybe a year later that this

  433. person had died.

  434. And I didn't think about that word anymore.

  435. And we had nothing to do.

  436. I mean, that's.

  437. It just was an unfortunate thing.

  438. And our heart broke for that family.

  439. And it had nothing to do with that individual.

  440. It had everything to do with what The Lord was trying to use that

  441. situation to speak to me.

  442. Sometimes the Lord will do that.

  443. It has nothing to do with you.

  444. You don't want that for somebody.

  445. Of course.

  446. And I had completely forgotten that.

  447. And when I got that news, the Lord spoke again.

  448. Spirit of Herod.

  449. I'm just being transparent.

  450. And I said, lord, I don't even know what that means, but what happened

  451. is that that spirit is trying to attack your seed.

  452. So it's not trying to shut a church down 10 years later.

  453. It's trying to shut a church down before it even starts.

  454. It was trying to shut me down emotionally.

  455. Being a postpartum, you know, just my emotions were raw, very emotional,

  456. trying to get my.

  457. It was trying to shut me down, make me crazy, get me hooked on medication

  458. so that nothing good ever came for my life and that I was silent.

  459. And I never declare the good works of the Lord, because the enemy

  460. wanted me bound by hurt and shame.

  461. Am I lying?

  462. So the spirit of Herod.

  463. Everybody has a spirit of Herod that operates in their life,

  464. physically and emotionally.

  465. I can't tell you how many stories I heard.

  466. I should have been dead.

  467. I should have been dead before they got saved, before they got in

  468. ministry.

  469. Why?

  470. Because the enemy understands seed.

  471. The enemy understands seed.

  472. And that is an enemy to revival.

  473. He is not.

  474. Why is he fighting you so hard when you're divorced?

  475. Why is he fighting you so hard after your ministry ended?

  476. Why is he.

  477. Because he knows that if you get free, you are unstoppable.

  478. You will increase, you will bring revival.

  479. So the spirit of Herod tries to kill destiny in infancy.

  480. Why is it so hard?

  481. Because the Lord has a plan for you.

  482. The opposition is confirming the assignment.

  483. You have a destiny.

  484. That's good news.

  485. The spirit of Herod tries to kill things in its seed.

  486. So then a few years later, I go, you know, down some more ministry,

  487. hang in there, try to get free, you know, try to plant this

  488. church.

  489. We get out here, and the Lord speaks to me about a year ago and

  490. says, spirit of Haman, Lord, I already defeated 1H.

  491. I am not interested.

  492. Spirit of Haman.

  493. Spirit of Haman.

  494. Spirit of Haman.

  495. At this point, the theme of Esther's moving through the kingdom.

  496. And so, you know, I'm studying that in my prayer time, and I'm like,

  497. God, why is this resonating spirit of Haman, why is this an enemy

  498. of revival?

  499. Why does this keep coming up?

  500. Why?

  501. Because if the enemy can't kill you in its infancy, it will

  502. try to kill you in its maturity.

  503. But, Lord, I already fought that demon.

  504. Why am I fighting another one?

  505. Because you have more assignments too.

  506. Complete.

  507. Spirit of Haman.

  508. Haman.

  509. Spirit of Herod.

  510. Spirit of Haman tried to shame Mordecai into public execution.

  511. Herod tried to kill destiny and an infant Satan.

  512. Here are the accusation and lies.

  513. Satan is the accuser.

  514. He's always aiming to distort your name and your purpose.

  515. She's just a mom.

  516. No, she's a prophetess.

  517. She's crazy.

  518. No, she's a woman in process.

  519. She's too much.

  520. No, she's an intercessor with a groaning.

  521. She's never gonna have kids.

  522. She's never gonna get married.

  523. She can't keep a job.

  524. No, she's a woman on the verge of a breakthrough.

  525. We're pulling our sisters out of the pit.

  526. We're not decreasing in exile.

  527. We're not decreasing in trauma.

  528. We're not decreasing in our season.

  529. We're in the hallway.

  530. I remember when I was giving birth to Bella, my whole family was

  531. in the hallway.

  532. Were you there?

  533. I think you were there a little bit later.

  534. Yeah, you were definitely there for Everleigh.

  535. This is my mother in law.

  536. And so I remember thinking like, I wish they could just take

  537. her out.

  538. It's too much.

  539. And the second one, I gave birth without an epidural.

  540. Yeah, I don't know.

  541. Both were pretty rough.

  542. I'm just.

  543. I don't recommend either.

  544. I remember when they were asking me like, hey, if you have

  545. to have a C section, I said, oh, just knock me out.

  546. They said, oh, you won't see the baby.

  547. I said, that's okay.

  548. I'll see it when she's older.

  549. I'm like, we're good, we're good.

  550. She's gonna be there.

  551. She's gonna be there.

  552. But here's the thing.

  553. It didn't matter how many people were in the hallway with you.

  554. You're the one that's gotta give birth.

  555. We're all here with you tonight.

  556. But this walk, this next level, we're gonna drop the rope

  557. in there.

  558. We're gonna grab your arm, but your full weight gotta be behind

  559. it.

  560. Your full self has to be behind it.

  561. No holding back.

  562. No holding back.

  563. Oh, but man, I just.

  564. I love to read these books at night.

  565. They relax me.

  566. No, they're awakening lust.

  567. They're awakening sensuality.

  568. They're keeping you bound.

  569. They're gonna bind up your sex life if you don't be careful.

  570. You got to put that away because there's more freedom for

  571. you on the other side.

  572. I get it, I get it.

  573. But God, these people, they hurt me so bad.

  574. I don't want to get.

  575. I don't want to join the worship team anymore.

  576. I had a bad experience.

  577. I'm telling you, we're going to hurt you too.

  578. But let.

  579. But you we are Marvell and Steph will come for you.

  580. I'm just kidding.

  581. But some of you are decreasing.

  582. You're in exile.

  583. You're passing it up.

  584. You're letting Haman have his way.

  585. You're letting Herod have his way.

  586. You gotta fight for what God has called you to in this next season.

  587. You have to birth this thing.

  588. Enemy of revival.

  589. They want full identity.

  590. Erase.

  591. Haman was not content with just Mordecai.

  592. He wanted the entire Jewish people gone.

  593. His hatred is not going to be satiated with just you.

  594. If you let the enemy win in you, he's coming for your kids.

  595. He's coming for your spouse.

  596. He's coming for your peace.

  597. He's coming for your job.

  598. Gotta fight with everything in you to say, this is my freedom.

  599. You are not going to have your way with shame, isolation, fear.

  600. Enemies want to destroy your identity before you know who you

  601. are.

  602. Herod wanted to erase the seed from the earth.

  603. That's the thing.

  604. The spirit of Herod.

  605. It had nothing to do with Julian, Mike, Signorelli.

  606. It had everything to do with destiny.

  607. It wouldn't matter if it was you.

  608. It wouldn't matter if it was you, you, you, you.

  609. The enemy was still trying to rob the seed.

  610. He is not taking breaks.

  611. But we tire out so easy.

  612. God doesn't want to just rescue the anointed.

  613. He wants to reverse the enemy's plans.

  614. So here's.

  615. Here's the grace, here's the Christ figure, here's the hope.

  616. Mordecai ended up having to be honored by the very man that plotted

  617. his death.

  618. Joseph had to be elevated in the land of his own captivity.

  619. Jesus had to be crucified, buried, and then risen again, reigning

  620. as king.

  621. Genesis 50:20 says, as for you, you meant evil against me, but

    Genesis 50:20

  622. God meant it for good to bring it about that many people should

  623. be kept alive.

  624. What the enemy meant for your destruction, God will use for your

  625. freedom.

  626. I'm in the hallway.

  627. So what happens?

  628. Where does our enemy go?

  629. We're anointed.

  630. So what?

  631. Band, you can come up and help me.

  632. Here's the thing.

  633. Because, man, I've been like, you know, I'm going to fight this

  634. Jezebel spirit.

  635. I'm gonna fight this Herod spirit.

  636. I'm gonna fight this Haman spirit.

  637. But, like, when I say fight, I, like, really mean, like, you know,

  638. fight, square up.

  639. T.

  640. That's my flesh.

  641. But when you trust the Lord, what you realize is that when you

  642. see it, Haman ended up being hanged on his own gallows.

  643. Goliath ended up falling by his own sword.

  644. Pharaoh drowned in the very waters that he was trying to pursue.

  645. Your enemy ends up falling on itself.

  646. So you're spending all the.

  647. I was spending all this energy.

  648. 6, 12, 42, 24, minus.

  649. Carry the root.

  650. Square root.

  651. I'm not.

  652. Math wasn't my thing.

  653. And what the Lord was saying is, julie, you're gonna have to give

  654. birth to this freedom by yourself.

  655. That book's only gonna get you so far.

  656. That song's only gonna get you so far.

  657. That person laying hands on you is only going to get you so far.

  658. This next step, you have to say I believe it when I don't see

  659. it.

  660. I believe it when I don't see it.

  661. I believe it when everything's against me.

  662. I sing when I don't feel like singing.

  663. I pray when I don't feel like praying.

  664. I agree with the assignment when I don't feel like agreeing.

  665. I put my finances where they belong, when I don't feel like praying,

  666. putting my finances where they belong.

  667. And I stand in agreement with God's word and his promises because

  668. I'm not living in this pit.

  669. My womb will not dry up in this season.

  670. Herod and Haman, the enemy of the seed and the enemy of the legacy,

  671. will not win in this season.

  672. Christ has already won.

  673. Would you stand?

  674. The thing that the enemy has meant for my destruction, the cross,

  675. the thing that the enemy meant to shame.

  676. Jesus is now the symbol of our ultimate freedom.

  677. The cross was meant to shame, but the cross is now the power from

  678. where his kingdom flows.

  679. It's the ultimate reverse.

  680. It's the ultimate turnaround.

  681. The thing that got you into exile, the thing that got you into

  682. trauma, the thing that got you into the pit is the reminder that

  683. God is as good as he said he was.

  684. Because he's here tonight saying, daughter, you're not going

  685. to die in there.

  686. You're not going to decrease in there.

  687. You're not going to die in shame.

  688. You're not going to die in forgotten.

  689. You're not going to die in exile.

  690. You are coming out because you are getting ready to go from one

  691. room to the next.

  692. We're in the hallway, baby.

  693. The crushing was not in vain.

  694. Come on, you need to get that in your spirit.

  695. Woo.

  696. Come on.

  697. If you've been crushed this year.

  698. Crushed.

  699. I've been crushed.

  700. It's only April.

  701. I know it's my word, but man, I'm raising my hand.

  702. I'm saying that's for me.

  703. The crushing was not in vain.

  704. Come on, get it in your heart.

  705. If that's you, you were crushed.

  706. If you ain't crushed, keep your hand down.

  707. That was you, the crushing you.

  708. It's not in vain.

  709. They didn't win.

  710. They did not win.

  711. Look at you.

  712. Come on, raise your hands.

  713. Total freedom for you.

  714. What the enemy meant for evil.

  715. Oh, he's turning there.

  716. There's like a specific turning right now that's happening

  717. in another room that you don't even know.

  718. Come on, lift up both hands.

  719. Both hands.

  720. Somebody stand in agreement with her.

  721. Oh, I feel it.

  722. She's making a withdraw of the anointing.

  723. Oh, that crushing.

  724. It's not in vain.

  725. Oh, yeah.

  726. Come on.

  727. Come on.

  728. There's freedom for you.

  729. What other sister is gonna grab ahold of that?

  730. Oh, that thing that keeps you up at night, that shame.

  731. Not in vain.

  732. He's about to use it for a testimony.

  733. Haman does not have the last word.

  734. You're in a hallway.

  735. Hallway.

  736. Come on.

  737. You're not in exile.

  738. We're passing.

  739. Passing.

  740. Passing.

  741. Oh, Jesus.

  742. We're passing.

  743. Hallelujah.

  744. Come on.

  745. I'm just letting the Lord work is.

  746. Come on.

  747. Come on.

  748. It was not in vain.

  749. Oh, it was not in vain.

  750. Come on.

  751. Somebody is making a withdrawal.

  752. Oh, yes, God.

  753. Not in vain, not in vain.

  754. Oh, he's using it for his glory, God.

  755. He's using it for his glory.

  756. Hallelujah.

  757. Oh, come on.

  758. I just feel like the Lord is walking through the room right now.

  759. He's just making his way.

  760. He's just touching hearts, touching moments, touching abuse,

  761. touching trauma.

  762. Come on.

  763. We can't do it for you.

  764. Just touch his presence.

  765. Crushing.

  766. Crushing.

  767. Crushing.

  768. It was not in vain.

  769. It was not in vain.

  770. Crushing was not in vain.

  771. There's somebody that's been attacked in their family and that

  772. it's been unrelenting.

  773. Unrelenting.

  774. And the Lord says that he is fighting the battle, that your job

  775. is to take the assailant assignment into the hallway in worship,

  776. in prayer, and that the Lord will settle the assignment.

  777. I don't know what that means.

  778. Whatever that means to you, he'll settle the assignment.

  779. It's almost like it's a.

  780. A judicial matter that the Lord is.

  781. Saying that if you'll give it to.

  782. Him, he'll settle the assignment.

  783. Come on.

  784. We're just letting the Lord speak.

  785. 2nd Chronicles 20:15, 17.

  786. And he said, Listen, all Judah, inhabitants of Jerusalem and

  787. King Jehoshaphat, thus says the Lord to you.

  788. Do not be afraid.

  789. Do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not

  790. yours, but God's.

  791. Tomorrow you go down against them, and behold, they will come

  792. up by the ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of

  793. the valley, east of the wilderness.

  794. You will not need to fight in this battle.

  795. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of

  796. the Lord on your behalf.

  797. O Judah and Jerusalem, do not be afraid.

  798. Do not be dismayed.

  799. Tomorrow, go out against them, and the Lord will be with you.

  800. Daughter, you don't have to fight no more.

  801. Whoa.

  802. Come on.

  803. Lift up your hands.

  804. No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed.

  805. And you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in

  806. judgment.

  807. This is the heritage, heritage, heritage of the servants

  808. of the Lord.

  809. And their vindication is from me, declares the Lord.

  810. Herod and Haman.

  811. Herod trying to rob the seed, and Haman trying to rob the future.

  812. But the hallway, but the hallway, but the hallway.

  813. Oh, but the hallway.

  814. Oh, the waiting, the waiting, the waiting.

  815. Whoo.

  816. When Herod came to kill all the firstborn after Jesus had been

  817. born, his parents were able to help fight that battle.

  818. They were able to take him.

  819. But, Haman, that fight gotta be you.

  820. You can pray against that seed over your children, but when they

  821. face Haman, they're gonna have to say, get behind me, Satan, for

  822. themselves.

  823. So when you're warring for yourself, you're teaching your children

  824. how to deal with opposition.

  825. You're just not winning this battle just for you.

  826. You're fighting it for your children.

  827. You're fighting it in front of their children.

  828. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, Herod.

  829. No weapon formed against me shall prosper, Haman.

  830. Get behind me, Satan.

  831. We can't get the freedom for you.

  832. So here's what the hallway is.

  833. If you didn't grow up in a praying household, what would happen

  834. if you grew up in a praying household is a mom would begin to

  835. pray and walk the hallways.

  836. I remember being in prayer and just praying over my children.

  837. And supernaturally, the Lord would tell me where to go, what to

  838. look, what.

  839. To help them to watch out for.

  840. It was like I would receive just.

  841. Blueprints for parenting, if you know what I mean.

  842. But I had to go into that hallway alone.

  843. The books could only get me so far.

  844. The anointing from somebody else can only get you so far.

  845. There comes a point, daughter, where you.

  846. Gotta pull your panties up and say, I'm going into the hallway and

  847. I'm fighting this battle with or without Pastor Moses, with or

  848. without Pastor Julie, with or without Aaron?

  849. With or without Steph, with or without Minister Juliana?

  850. I'm praying, and I'm fighting this battle for myself, because I'm

  851. not dying in exile.

  852. I'm not dying in trauma.

  853. I'm not dying in pain.

  854. I'm not dying in divorce.

  855. I'm not dying in addiction.

  856. Come on, woman of God, get out of your seat.

  857. Begin to pace this floor.

  858. Come on, move out.

  859. Oh, you're not getting my kids.

  860. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

  861. You ain't getting my seed.

  862. No, sir.

  863. You're not getting my church.

  864. No, sir.

  865. Haman, you better back up.

  866. You better back up.

  867. You better back up.

  868. Oh.

  869. Oh.

  870. Hallelujah.

  871. Hallelujah.

  872. Oh, he's more than enough?

  873. Oh, the enemy ain't robbing my finances?

  874. Oh, he's more than enough?

  875. More than enough?

  876. Oh, he's more than enough?

  877. Oh, he's supplying every need?

  878. Oh, he's healing my identity?

  879. I don't have to stay this way no more?

  880. Oh, more, more, more.

  881. Come on, you gotta learn how to fight.

  882. You gotta learn how to fight.

  883. Get out of that chair.

  884. Oh, yes, God.

  885. Yes, God.

  886. Oh, we're moving.

  887. We're moving.

  888. We're moving.

  889. We're not staying in drama no more.

  890. Oh, hallelujah.

  891. Come on.

  892. You just practice praying over that spouse.

  893. Pray over that spouse.

  894. Pray over that child.

  895. Child.

  896. You can't live in a hallway.

  897. Oh, we're getting ready to move.

  898. Oh, hallelujah.

  899. Oh, we're not dying in Egypt.

  900. Oh, this is how I prayed over an alcoholic husband.

  901. Oh, you're not gonna have him.

  902. Oh, suicide ain't gonna take him.

  903. Oh, he's gonna have a sound mind.

  904. He will fulfill his assignment.

  905. He will fulfill his assignment.

  906. Oh, he will fulfill his assignment.

  907. Oh, you're not gonna take him.

  908. No, you're not.

  909. Satan.

  910. Get your hands off my husband.

  911. Get your hands off my children.

  912. You will not have your way, Lord.

  913. I release your presence.

  914. I release your anointing.

  915. I release your holy spirit conviction.

  916. You will have your way, Lord.

  917. You will.
