Amen, amen, that's right, yes, amen. Oh yeah, girl, come on, look at it, we look pretty good. We are too, too much, we are too too much.
Speaker 3:Yeah, give the Lord a hand, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Look at your neighbor and say, by golly, you are too too much. Eye of the tiger, yeah, and you know what? We just can't just say oh, you're just too too much, oh no, you're just too too much, oh no, you're just too too much. Amen, hallelujah. Just give the Lord a hand, amen, give him a shout. God is a good God, amen. And he is doing spectacular things, not just good things, spectacular things. And he is about, no, he is causing his spirit to be released among his people all over the world, to create an atmosphere that has never been experienced before here on earth. Amen. Look at your neighbor and say I'm ready, I'm ready. But you know what, when we do that, my friend over here probably just dying. She knows she goes because because when you say i'm'm ready, use me.
Speaker 1:It's not how you think it should be, oh yeah, say. Look at your neighbor and say, uh-huh, I've been there. It's not how you think it should be or when it should be, because God knows what is best. Sometimes I wonder I know I'm the only one, but sometimes I wonder God, do you really know what you're doing? I'm fixing to walk on some hot coals and he says that's right, because he loves for us just to walk in faith and trusting him in everything he is doing. So his spirit is being poured out right now, in 2025, like never before.
Speaker 1:Today is the 25th, so we're kind of like in the middle, well, a little past the middle of the month, and so much, spiritually and naturally, has already shifted. Have you felt the shift? Okay, see, god's looking for people who recognize the shift. It's not business as usual. It's not Okay, and it's just the beginning.
Speaker 1:Okay, not just because of what's happened in the political realm. Okay, but what's going on in the spiritual realm? Because, see, that's where our antennas have to be. Okay, that's where they have to be all, right, you can't be moved by what you're hearing on. You know CBN and SBN and QBN and RBN and all these other. You know you can't, because one says one thing, someone says another thing, this one says another thing. The only thing we need to have our tenors glued to is the truth of the spirit of God in the atmosphere for our lives today, amen. And so if you got those bunny ears, remember Many of you don't remember the bunny ears, but the bunny ears we would shake them and move them and my dad would send one of us to work on it.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, okay, no, no, no. We have to have Mr Dave knows uh-huh, we have to have our bunny ears extended and fine-tuned to hear truly what the Spirit of God is saying, because he is saying a lot, he is saying a lot. So I am very excited, I am very blessed, I am very honored to be here with you all in Ohio, uk, ohio. I tell you, you guys have stolen my heart a long time ago. I love Ohio. I even cheered for Ohio State, the Buckeyes.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:Everybody in my house was like I said y'all have to tell me where I can go get a T-shirt. Okay, anywhere, anywhere a t-shirt Okay, anywhere, anywhere I'm on it. Okay, I was like go Ohio, man, I had a big O-O in my house. Okay, I'm like, yes, god, you know, only God can do that that you can go into a place okay, whether it be a church, whether it be someone's home, anywhere is where it be. Go into a place and immediately your heart is stolen. And if you have never experienced that, I challenge you to have your heart open for that opportunity because it is amazing. So y'all have stolen my heart, every single one of you, and it's good to see all of you and to hear all the wonderful reports. I just want to say Caitlin, congratulations, she's going to have a baby, yeah. So we all of us, through overflow and table talk in this ministry, we get to enjoy that as well. God is good all the time and I just remember last year we were speaking about this, okay, and we spoke about a child and just many, many things, and you know I said I'm going to stand with you. I said I'm going to stand in agreement with you and you know, she sent me the little thing with the little thing, and I was like I was so excited I mean it was like it was happening to my family member. I was like, yes, I said Victoria Caitlin's going to have a baby. You know, well, good, you know, she says that's my mom. You see, it's not about us, it's about him and everybody, what he's doing and everybody else.
Speaker 1:If nothing's happening in your life right now, I'm going to tell you one of the reasons why Because you're self-centered. Everybody. Take a breath. There you go, come on, just say it. There's no rules here this morning. Okay, all right, all right, you're going to yell, scream. That's for me. Oh, she's talking to me.
Speaker 1:Look at your neighbor and say do I have two black eyes? Uh-huh, okay, yeah, all right, we're too self-centered. Do I have two black eyes? Uh-huh, okay, yeah, all right. We're too self-centered. We're so worried about ourselves, we're so worried about how we look, how we speak, what our hair color is, all these other kind of things as women, that we forget that there's someone that God has placed right in front of us to love, to encourage, to nurture, to give and to pour out the things that are already established in heaven for each of us. He's given us the opportunity to be his. So I encourage you. I encourage you to look outside of your own little territory, your own little bubble, your own. Well, it's safer.
Speaker 1:You don't know what I've been through, honey. You don't know what I've been through. Okay, I'm 65 years old. I've been in ministry for 42 years and I still imagine this. I still love Jesus and I still pastor a church pastor. Good lord, that's a miracle in itself, right, okay. And I still say yes, and I still go to nations and I still tithe, oh boy, and I don't, I don't worry where it goes, hello.
Speaker 3:Oh, wait, wait, I got to roll it back up, I don't worry where it goes, because it's not mine anyway.
Speaker 1:I still give offerings. I still stop on the street and see an old guy with a sign that says whatever it is, and I'll give him my last five dollars and not worry that he's going to use it to buy drugs or alcohol. Who cares? I did what I needed to do and the rest is up to him. So if nothing's happening in your life or you feel a little jealous that someone sitting next to you has a little more benefit than you, come on over to the bathroom mirror and look in. Am I just way too focused on me? Am I just way too self-centered? Am I just only going to care about what's going on in my little bubble? Maybe that's my problem, because Jesus never was self-centered. Jesus gave it all and in the word it says we shall what Do greater things than he did. So I encourage you.
Speaker 1:This year is a good year, 2025, oh yeah, it's a good, good, good year, a year of victory, a year of prosperity, and so I'm very excited. So I'm excited to be here. I have 11 of my wonderful little girls, my, all, my, my kids. I'm so blessed. I have one natural daughter and I got a whole bunch of spiritual kids and I'm going to tell you I love them just as much as I love my daughter, and sometimes she has to remind everybody I'm Victoria. Right, the other night I was downstairs, spent the night at my house, okay, so we could leave. In the morning I said, uh-uh, don't be calling me and saying I can't get the kids up, so now we're leaving at 5.30. Y'all come spend the night at my house because we're out of here. So they're all at my house and we were talking and sharing and Victoria was sitting in the back and she got done and she said I'm her daughter, victoria. Okay, I'm her daughter Because I love them with the love of the father and of a mother and I'm so proud of them, mother, and I'm so proud of them. And see, for me to have them say I want to go to Ohio is an honor for me. That's an honor. Look at them. I'm double the age of some of them. I'm almost a double and a half the age of some of them.
Speaker 1:Okay, but they all wanted to come. See, we're not a bunch of old ladies, girls, okay, we're not. Okay, I don't see many old ladies dressed like us, because we're just all too too much. Okay, come on, all right, and it feels good, I feel good. Na-na-na-na-na-na-na like I knew I would. Na-na-na-na-na-na-na like I knew I would na-na-na. See, oh yeah, that's Jesus. He says that our joy will be our. What Strength? I drove nine hours, maybe ten, whatever it was. Okay, we'll just stop at nine.
Speaker 1:Okay, came here, went out to dinner with what 26 of us, all right. Drove home from the restaurant, pulled into Wendy's parking lot, told everybody get out 10.30 at night, freezing cold, get out. We put our theme song on, opened the doors and we danced in the parking lot of Wendy's, right around the corner over here. Okay, and see, when they all woke up this morning, nobody complained. It was freezing cold. No, no one said a word. They were all dressed up, they were put. Everybody's putting their makeup, everybody's doing it.
Speaker 1:Because that joy of getting out of that van last night acting like a bunch of 12-year-olds, okay, dancing, we couldn't dance, you should have seen us. Okay, trying to moonwalk. My age group was doing the bump. Okay, all right, I have that down pat, all right. So we're good, all right, getting out there doing what we did. They all got in the car. They were like we just did that, didn't we? In Wendy's parking lot I said we sure did. You don't think they're doing that in heaven right now. They're having a party 24-7. And God says thy kingdom come, come, thy will be done on earth as it is, in heaven as it is. So his joy is our strength. So when you feel tired you just go back to that mirror.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 1:We got to learn how to laugh in the devil's face. Yes, we have to learn how to laugh in the devil's face. So it is joy and an honor to be here with you all. I have to be perfectly honest with you. I'm thankful that God knows what he's going to do today, because we don't Just when you think you got it, you don't. Thank you, jesus, and it's wonderful to be with people who are okay with that.
Speaker 1:I said, pastor Holly, it's going to be good, but I don't know what she goes, we're just going to do it. I said, that's it, we're just going to do it. Praise and worship was amazing. Can you say amen, amen. And Julie, I got to give you this word. Is that okay? All right, I just want to make sure, because, let me, let me, let me share something that's very important. All right, I just want to make sure, because, let me share something that's very important this atmosphere is controlled by us.
Speaker 1:Oh, come on, I felt a little resistance in the spirit. Okay, because you know God's omnipredness, god's every words. You know, we know all that. We can get into all this theological stuff, but we have control of this atmosphere. Half of us can be saying yes, the other half can be, we're going to do this, and one person can be like here they go, they're going to prophesy, and it causes the whole atmosphere from here to go. That's why I said is it okay? And you said yes, and you know what that? Then you know what happened in the atmosphere. It made you accountable to God for your agreement. Oh boy, that's pretty scary. We say amen too quick. We said yes, I will. Too quick. We said oh yeah, go for it too quick, because the minute we do that, we are instantaneously accountable to God. Okay, so everybody take a breath. Those of you that know me, I'm a breath taker. When I had COVID, I had no breath. But we have to recognize the presence of God. See, the presence of God is here and we become so lackadaisical that we don't give him the glory for his presence. Amen. That's why I said you guys all okay with this, because I want agreement, Because what God's fixing to tell Pastor Julie okay, isn't just words, it's destiny, Amen.
Speaker 1:Pastor Julie, when you got up there and you started to sing, I'll tell you it was amazing, okay, amazing. And I've heard you sing so many times, I've heard you lead worship so many times and I have. You know, as far as I'm concerned, you are the bomb. Okay, all right. But I never heard in the spirit or saw in the spirit what I experienced when you began to sing that the Lion of Judah song Okay, never.
Speaker 1:And the Lord told me to tell you this your healing is in your worship. Your healing is in your worship, your healing is in your praise, and you know that. But the enemy has tried to convince you. You don't qualify and he is such a liar. So I don't know. But I know this You've got to get out of whatever you're behind and you've got to do it. Okay, you cannot sit behind any longer, because if you do, you are giving the territory that the enemy is trying to steal from you to him. Whatever needs to get done will get done, and if it doesn't get done, your worship unto your God is more important, because that's your key for your victory. It doesn't matter anymore about anybody else's victory. It's time to be a little selfish, because it's a godly selfishness. Thank you, jesus, and I thank you, lord. That word has fallen deep into Pastor Julie's heart, into her spirit, and that it will bring forth a harvest like she has never experienced before. In Jesus' name amen. I love you.
Speaker 1:Everybody take a breath. Do you all agree? Amen, we agree. Was it fantastic? When that song could you just feel the shift. I almost wanted to say one more time, jesus, just one more time, and we're going to do it one more time.
Speaker 1:Okay, so we are, you know. We just have to be ready for what God is doing and wants to do. You think he just brought us all together so we can just be too too much for him? No, that was his bait. That was his bait.
Speaker 1:Some of you maybe never have you know, or you just come once in a while or whatever, to table talk or anything, but the tutu was a bait, all of us. It's a bait to all of us. You see, all these girls are like we can wear a tutu. I said, absolutely, I'm going. It's a bait because God is baiting us with the goodness of his kingdom. There's so much good that he has for us. So this morning I want to release a moment in heaven to all of you. I would like for Yelly and Esther, if you would both come up here. This is a mother and a daughter. Esther was actually in Miss Yelly's tummy and God, I prophesied it's a girl and her name's going to be Esther and sure enough, here it is. I mean, god is just amazing. Yelly was saying, yeah, I grew up with Pastor Val, you know. And so these are my kids and this is my granddaughter, you know. I mean, these are my kids, but they have a gift and I'm sure you saw they have a gift. Many of us use gifts in different ways and we have to remember, even though it might not be traditional or we're used to it, take it up with God because he put it in them.
Speaker 1:I can't help but be in a church service and yell, I can't, I can't. There's just I just can't. You'll hear me yell I can't, I just can't. I've tried. I've been in some very traditional Baptist churches and I'm like, and Stephen looked at me and he goes do you have to go to the bathroom? I said, no, I'm just going to yell. And he's like well, go ahead. And I'm like, okay, he put it in me. So many of you have so much in you. But because it's not normal to other people, it's normal to us. I mean, if you got up here and did cartwheels across here, I wouldn't be like oh, I'd be like, yes, because he put it in us, and so God has put an anointing and a talent in their lives.
Speaker 1:And when I was beginning to get ready for this event and speaking with Pastor Holly, the Lord put this song on my heart. And as I listened to it I said, well, I'm going to ask Pastor Holly if we can play it and Pastor Julie can sing it. And the Lord says no, I'm going to release my spirit through this song. And you see, we're visual people, okay, and sometimes it's hard to believe that an invisible God can do everything he says he can do. But sometimes when we see something visually, we're like, yeah, and then all of a sudden there's this illumination that happens. So I believe that this song is going to do that for your spirit. So I ask that you just take a breath. They took all that for you. But just take a breath and listen and see what the Spirit wants to say to you in this moment.
Speaker 3:Amen, thank you to believe in. I don't want to listen to lies anymore. The truth is, I am a fool. I make him proud and I make him smile no-transcript. Yes, lord Glory, oh, give them a yell, hallelujah yes.
Speaker 1:Lord. Thank you, jesus. Can you feel it? Oh, yeah, I can feel it. Do you know? Okay, this is a side note. You guys like side notes. Have you ever studied? You know you're sitting before a great professor and teacher. It's all those side notes that are really the best. Okay, it's the side notes is what we really get excited about, right, guys? Okay, so this is a side note.
Speaker 1:Moms are wondering how to connect with their daughter. That's connection. Seeing a gift in your child and working with it, with her, brings a connection that the enemy cannot steal. I don't know what to do with my daughter. She's a teenager. You know people used to say to me oh, get do with my daughter, she's a teenager. You know people used to say to me oh, get ready, victoria's going to be a teenager. I said not in my house. I'm excited about what God's got for her as a teenager, but I'm not worried about her being a teenager.
Speaker 1:So if you're a mom and you have kids, whether it be a boy or girl, learn how to connect. You have kids, whether it be a boy or girl. Learn how to connect. They play soccer, kick a couple balls, baseball, whatever it is, even if they're on those ridiculous games that I have no eye-hand coordination and all the stuff that they do to get the guy to. I can't. But you know what? I'll sit down and be the loser, because I always lose big time, you know. And they're like, yes, I'm, like I'm supposed to be that excited, but it causes a connection, because that's what God's doing in 2025. He's connecting his children with himself.
Speaker 1:See, we've been connected to a lot of things. Okay, many of us are connected still with the things from the past. We're in bondage and connected to the things of the present and we're already in fear and full of anxiety of the future. Help me, jesus. Well, you know, if you think of it that way, we really have no hope outside of Christ. But you know what my father says I win. And I remind him all the time I'm a winner and not a loser, even though right now I feel like I'm going to win this game. I cannot figure it out, okay, I can't, there's no way. But, lord, you tell me that the battle is yours and I'm the winner. We don't act like winners, we act like losers. We do. Everybody can just raise your hand. That's me.
Speaker 1:What do they say in AA, the first steps of being in that organization or whatever, is accepting the fact that you are whatever it is that you went there for. God's kids have to learn to accept the fact of where we're walking and how we have to get out of it. But we've become too comfortable. It's comfortable, I know it, but no one else can see it. So if no one else can see it, it's comfortable, I know it, but no one else can see it. So if no one else can see it, it's okay. Yeah, it's okay that no one else can see it. But he sees everything. Doesn't matter if you go in the closet, shut the door and turn the light off, he sees it. No one else can see it. When I play hide and go seek with my little grandkids and I get in the closet and I hide it, they can't see me. But they find me. See, god will find you where you're at.
Speaker 1:I remember when my husband and I received Jesus. We were the first one in our gang. You know our troop back then in the 70s and all our friends said we're like, come on to church with us. We met Jesus. And they're like they'd all have to get high before they'd hang around us. Y'all can laugh, go ahead, okay. Yes, I did drugs. Yes, I slept with my husband before I was married. Yeah, okay, but look what God can do.
Speaker 3:Oh look.
Speaker 1:You think I came out of my mother's womb like this. I wish, I wish, I wish I knew what I knew today. Back then, good Lord, I'd have more money, I wouldn't have so many aching bones, I wouldn't have so much sun wrinkles on my face. If I knew what I knew today good Lord, watch out the devil would have never had any dominion nor authority over my life. Take a breath.
Speaker 1:But we're so caught up in where we're at and what's going on and we're comfortable with it. The other day I went into our, our bathroom, and my husband has his sink and territory and I have my sink and territory. How many know that's the best way you want to be married for over 45 years, over 50 years, whatever many years let the girl have her own territory. When he built our house, he gave me my own closet. He knew better I'm organized, all my shoes. Miss Beth and I were like, yep, all my shoes are all organized and everything. The other day he wanted to put his coat in my closet, thank you. I was like, you know, I have everything, all it's all organized. And I went in there and there was this one thing that this coat was stuck in there and it was kind of. You know, they didn't open it, put it in, lay it, so it's flat, no, it's like hanging out of the thing. So I knew right away uh-uh, there's an enemy in my territory and he may be called my husband, but right now he is the enemy, okay, in my territory. I went in there and I pulled that out. I went in the living room and he was watching Lord knows whatever. And I said what's this? He says, well, that's my coat. I said I really I know that's your coat, but why is it in my closet? Well, because I said well, because what? Well, you had all your other coats there and they just look so nice in order. So I thought it would last longer, seriously, last longer. Okay, what does last longer? Okay, he's almost 70. I said, honey, you don't need it to last very long. Okay, I said, really, I thought it would last longer because you put everything. I said, okay, I'll give you a little credit for that. I said but did you see how you put it in there? And you know what he said? He said I knew you would come behind me this is a side note and fix it. I know I'm not talking to anybody, but myself in this room. Not a single one, nobody, not a single person in here understands exactly he goes. I knew you'd come and fix it and I was like. I was like you're right, come on, girls, we love to be right. We don't want them to be right. Okay, I was like you're right. I said, but I'm fixing it right into your closet. This is my territory and it'll last just as long in your closet if you did it right. But you see, the thought he had is you'll come back and fix it. See, we're looking for someone else to fix it for us, oh boy, and usually that's someone in the five-fold ministry, and usually that's someone in the five-fold ministry. That's usually when we're looking for someone in the five-fold ministry to fix it for us. Half the time they're the reason, oh, I'm going where I shouldn't. Half the time they're the reason we need fixing. Oh, thank you girls. All right, these guys they got it on the first go round. Okay, come on, they got it.
Speaker 1:Don't be afraid to say amen. You're saying it in your heart. You don't want anybody else to know. It's the truth.
Speaker 1:Every single one of us in this room and if you say not me, I'm going to call you a ball-faced liar has been affected by church leadership, and you know what we do. We carry it with us and we say, and we use it for a reason not to do anything in the next church we go to, or we don't go to church at all. Oh boy, take a breath. I love God, because you know, as a minister, he will never have you minister. Anything you haven't already been drug through. He won't't, he will not, but we carry it with us. So who suffers? We do Not the person in that five-fold ministry, because they've gone on. We're the one who suffers. And then who else suffers? The body, because then, you know, I used to sing. Everybody take a breath. Yeah, I used to play an instrument. You did. What instrument do you play? Oh, I play the saxophone. Oh, I love the saxophone. I said well, why aren't you on the platform? Well, one time I was like, please don't even tell me, because I'll probably have to repent, because I want to choke the life out of you. Okay, oh, I just love children. Oh, you do. Oh, you know what? We have been praying for someone to come and work in the children's ministry, someone who has a heart, someone who can say I actually love children. Oh, but you don't understand, I already did that. Oh, oh, you did. Oh, so you're a professional at it. Well, yeah, I'm pretty good actually, but they're dragging it along with them.
Speaker 1:See, we talk about breakthrough, all right, and we put breakthrough in a category that only has to do with okay, hear me clearly now. Only has to do with incest, molestation, depression. Okay, okay, we can go down the line. That's where we put I need a breakthrough in that. No, our lives need to be a 24-7 hour breakthrough, because every day something is going to try to attach itself to us and cause us to have to break away from it and not carry it with us Every single day. But that takes acceptance that you need that breakthrough. God wants us to walk. He wants us to walk in that breakthrough. He wants us to walk. He wants us to walk in that breakthrough. He wants us.
Speaker 1:You know, I went and ministered in Texas and Lord said well, actually I'm going to tell a little story of myself and I can. My best, buddy over here. We're sisters. What do they say by the different, the different mothers or whatever? That is, yeah, but we have the same father. Okay, guys, we all do all right.
Speaker 1:So my sister, a woman, calls me and asks me to come do she's going to have an apostolic conference and she heard about me. That's scary. Okay, I'm like okay, you know I get a little nervous when people say that. I'm like is it good, is it bad? She goes I heard about you and I do this apostolic conference every year. But I woke up one morning and God says get out of the box. Basically, he said he was bored of her conferences. And basically he told her if I'm bored, can you imagine the people? And I said so, you call me glory.
Speaker 1:And she said yes, so I was speaking with a friend and I was sharing the what the Lord had spoken to me about the apostolic conference and my. And she said I just, I just, I don't know what to do. And she says I know what you do. You need to call Valerie Swisher. She lives in North Carolina. This is in Georgia, in North Carolina. And so she said okay, so this lady calls me on the telephone, I'm speaking with her. She says you know, someone gave you your name. Da-da-da tells me the whole story and before she even really kind of told me or invited me, the Lord says you're to go.
Speaker 1:And that's when I get nervous, when I don't have the information. Come on, everybody, raise your hand. That's when I get nervous when God's telling me to do something and I don't not have the full information. Okay, and I'm, I'm, I'm, uh-huh, uh-huh, and I'm trying not to to let my voice share what my head is really thinking. And she said so, this is the conference, and so I would be very honored if you would come and you know it's okay, you can pray and let me know. I said I don't have to.
Speaker 1:The Lord told me to come. She said he did. I said yeah, right now. He told me to come and immediately after I almost admitted, said okay, I'll go. In my head he said and wear combat boots. So I'm on the phone having this conversation with God and I'm like, oh boy, I'm in trouble. And he says wear combat boots. So I tell her. I said, well, the Lord just said I'm to come. She goes wow, so tells me all about it. Hang up the phone Immediately.
Speaker 1:I get on Facebook. I have no idea who this person is. I don't know anything about nothing. I get on Facebook, I look it up and this is no offense because this is my girl, right. And this is no offense because this is my girl, right. Her Facebook is nothing but African American bishop and the bishop and the this and the that people. Not one white person in it.
Speaker 1:I was like, oh boy. I called my friend Diane. I said you're not going to believe what. And I just told her she goes, what's her name? And I told her she goes. Oh my gosh, I'm like now I'm nervous. You see, we let other people influence us. Immediately, all she said was oh my goodness that could have been. Oh my goodness that's awesome. Oh my goodness you're in for it, or oh my goodness, okay.
Speaker 1:But immediately when she said that, I was like okay, so Lord told me to get combat boots, went to the conference, got there. So the Lord told me to get combat boots, went to the conference, got there. I told my daughter, victoria, bless her heart, that you are coming with me. I have no idea where we're going, but you're coming with me. And Diana says, oh, I'm going to be there. I'm like, thank you. I said I'm thankful, but I'm not sure she goes. Oh yeah, I already had a run-in with her, with her dance and everything and her prophetic.
Speaker 1:So I get there with my daughter. We couldn't find it. She's like waiting. She's sitting there waiting. They're all waiting for these white folks to come in. We come walking in and here we are. We're the cream in the Oreo cookie. I can tell you what I was like. Lord, I thank you that I am victorious in you. I thank you that I am the head and not the tail. I thank you, lord. One, I'm a woman and second, I'm white.
Speaker 1:Okay, this is not a good setup. On the platform there's a long table and at this table is all the bishop men sitting with their coats, with their things, and they bring me in. They set me at this round table right there. No one would sit with me at the table, all by myself. Looking at all these bishops, I figured well, you know what my Bible says. Your Bible says Elizabeth, you're an overcomer in Christ Jesus and if he is for you, it doesn't matter who's looking at you. It doesn't matter who's saying what against you. Nothing can be against you.
Speaker 1:And I decided all right, I'm getting this head on. I got up, went up there, I said good morning. I'm Valerie Swisher, not Prophet. Valerie Swisher, not Pastor. Valerie Swisher, not Apostle. Valerie Swisher, not da-da-da-da-da, I'm Valerie Q-X-Y-U-Z. I am Valerie Swisher. And I just went right down the thing. Honey, their mouths came out, good morning. Just went right down the thing and, honey, their mouths came out there, good morning. Just went right down and greeted them all and sat down and I said okay, now I'm comfortable in my territory because if god's with you, it doesn't matter who and what you're in front of he is with you.
Speaker 1:So I had this cute little outfit on. I I have to admit it was a cute little outfit had my high heel shoes on, pulled out the combat boots. I mean they were. The Lord told me to get the ones that they wear in the military, the green ugly, big old ones. I tried to get ones with glitter, you know, I tried to and the Lord says no, no. So I had them and I said Lord says it's time to take off your high heel shoes, girls, and your wingtip shoes, men, and put on your combat boots Because it's time to break through.
Speaker 1:It's time to break through. You see, we're comfortable. We say we don't like what's going on, but we're okay with it. We put up with it. Not anymore, not anymore. God doesn't put this vision on a woman's heart to give the door and the opportunity to break through, to get out of where you're at, to go into a place that God has for you. You see, pastor Holly naturally has nothing to benefit by anybody having a breakthrough in their life. Not one thing. Okay, because you're not going to get a breakthrough. And know, I went to table talk to the two too much and I got a breakthrough and I'm going to bless pastor Holly with a thousand dollars because it was so amazing and I'm free. No, that never happens. I'm just going to tell you. Okay, just FYI side note. Okay, but if you look in the Bible, it did happen. Okay, oh, that was right from. That was an impartation, right there it did.
Speaker 3:They would bring.
Speaker 1:I'm going to take a big breath for that one. I'm going to take a big breath for that one. But in the natural, she has absolutely nothing to benefit by it. But in the supernatural and in the spiritual, because of what God's put inside of her, that seed that he put in her for today, whenever it was today, it brought forth the fruit. You see, I remind God that I'm blessed and highly favored. And you know why? That is Because, number one, I'm his favorite, just so that y'all know. Okay, I am his favorite, okay, but I have so much seed in the ground that I should never lack of anything, of anything. I should never lack of anything. And that's what you have to remember those seeds, and that's what you have to remember. Those seeds, ms K, okay, those seeds that you have sown in your family, in your husband, in their life, those are seeds, I remind God. I got seed in the ground for this area, even though I want to kill him right now, I got good seed in this ground. I have a brother who's an alcoholic sometimes I just want to rip his throat out, but I got seed in the ground for him and I remember that seed that I planted and I just keep watering it with love. It kills me. I just keep watering it with love.
Speaker 1:And when I go pick him up, he lives in a nursing home place and I'll go pick him up to take him to go to the store and buy something. First thing he says you take him to the convenience store. I know exactly what he's going to do. He's going to go in there and buy a six-pack. I said, sure, take him in. He goes in and he buys I don't know some lemonade, something or other Hard lemonade Opens up. By the time we get to the grocery store he's already drinking three. And so all my brothers and sisters, they all yell at me. They come again. I said you know what I'm his favorite. You know why I'm Craig's favorite? It's because I love him right where he's at.
Speaker 1:I can't change him, believe me. I have tried. I've told him he's going to die and burn and go to hell forever. I've told him that a million times. I've told him that he's got cirrhosis of the liver. I've told him all this stuff. But you know what's conquering him? My love, my love.
Speaker 1:And he'll drink that six pack before I take him back to the place and I always tease him and say you're not going to take your trash with you, I can't take it in there. I say, oh, so I'm the guilty one here. You know, I can't take it in there. That's a prophetic thing.
Speaker 1:People want us to hang around their trash and then they want to leave it with us and a lot of times we don't know what to do with it. You know what you do with it. You break the curse, you, and a lot of times we don't know what to do with it. You know what to do with it. You break the curse, you take it and you step on top of it. You don't entertain it, you don't get mad at the person.
Speaker 1:I could get mad at my brother and say no, because I love him right where he's at, and so at Christmas he sat at the table, which when we all get together, he usually sits off by himself on the TV tray because he doesn't feel worthy. Everybody comes to my house and I'm like leave him be If that's where he's comfortable. This year he sat at the table and he sat right next to me and he never says anything because everything he says, everybody says how he's wrong at whatever he says, and all of that and we were all talking and laughing. And he says we're talking about us as all, as siblings, and we're all sharing about each other. And he says well, I just want you to know my big sister, valerie, is my favorite Because she loves me just how dysfunctional and a mess I am. That's Jesus.
Speaker 1:I can't do that. I can't do that. But him in me can and you see, that caused what A breakthrough in him. And I have seed. We have seed in the ground, guys, that we have to recognize. We have to look at the bigger picture. So I'm going to kind of put all this together in this. We all know about Lot's wife and unfortunately they have that for me. When I'm ready, I'm just going to share real quick Lot's wife. We all know she was a piece of work, poor guy. You know how many of our husbands have Not?
Speaker 1:yet I'll tell you, when he was a poor guy, bless his heart, and we all know, there was a situation and the angels came. How many have angels have visited you and given you direction and told you certain things to do or to release or whatever, and you just have a deaf ear? Okay, alright. All of us.
Speaker 1:And that was kind of what was happening. You know, lot recognized that the angels had come and they were sent by God. He recognized that, okay, but he was in a dilemma. Sent by God, he recognized that, okay, but he was in a dilemma. How many of you were in dilemmas?
Speaker 1:Okay, sometimes, you know, I'll tell my husband something and he looks at me like a deer in the headlights, you know, and you would think by now, after 46 years, he'd be used to me, you know, and he's like, I told him, you know, if there's ever a fire in the house, I'm not coming and telling you. I'm getting all my jewelry, I'm getting all this stuff that's valuable and I will meet you outside. Okay, because he always you know what he does. When there's like, when there's something going on, he's like well, how do you know? Where is it out, what, who? What did you do? I'm like why is everything? Everything, when it's a catastrophe, it's my fault. What did I do? A deer runs in front of my car. At two o'clock in the morning, coming home from Atlanta airport, I drive up in the driveway. He comes out immediately, looks at the car and said what did you do? I know what I want to do right now. Help me Jesus.
Speaker 3:Immediately.
Speaker 1:But you see, that's what happens. A situation comes, you know, the Lord tells us something and then he directs us in something, and then we even dare to share it with somebody, or share it with someone that we think will maybe understand. They either get jealous, angry, bitter, all these things you know. So many of the time we don't say anything, but see Lot. You know he had the time we don't say anything but see lot. You know he had a wife. That was, we say in spanish, muy fuerte, very strong, basically very rebellious, that's you know. And um, so you know he shared what was going on and he says and the angels and god's telling us we got to get out of here, we got the kids, we all just got to go. Well, I'm not ready to go. We got to be ready to go the minute, the minute God says go. I told my girls we had a meeting and I told my girls. I said, girls, I ask you a couple of things, and one of the things is this when I say get in the car, girls, I ask you a couple things, and one of the things is this when I say get in the car, do not ask me why I'm not ready. How come, if I say, come on, girls, let's go, don't say why, just do it, because I know something that you don't know. God knows something that we don't know, so trust him. Oh, I trust God, baloney shimony, we got to trust him If he says move, move. I was driving down the street and I was going to go one way. The Lord says no, go this way. I thought I said I don't want to go that way. It takes longer to get there, it's a curvy road. I don't want to go that way. And I went the way that I wanted to go. There was an accident in 45 minutes. I just sat there. So when God says go, we got to go. When God says move, look what happened in California, look at what happened in California. Many people were not warned and many people were warned California. Many people were not warned and many people were warned and they say, well, I didn't have time to take anything, I didn't have time to do this. You know what? There is no more time left, guys. There's no more time left because God's moving like this. He's moving like this because there is still so much that needs to be accomplished. There's so much, janet, that god still has for you to do. He's only getting started. That's why the devil is so ticked off, because he's only getting started, and what he has for you he's own, but he's moving like this.
Speaker 1:It's Lot's telling his wife come on, we got to go, we got to go, we got to go. Oh no, she didn't want to go. You know, they didn't really have a name. Of course, in the Bible we just talk about Lot's wife being Lot's wife, but the rabbis in the city, they referred to her as the town idiot. Can you imagine? Now? Lot was a wealthy man, he had money, he had very good provision, he had a good standing, the whole nine yards. But they called her his idiot. Can you imagine? Come on, idiot. And sure enough, it played out to be true. Because she was an idiot, she was being told come on, god's delivering us, god's setting us free, he's giving us a breakthrough. Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 1:She wasn't happy, she murmured, she complained. I don't want to do that, god, right now. I used to tell god when I went in the grocery store, because I live in a town with two red lights and one grocery store and everybody knows who I am that's the woman who preaches and dances in her church. They're all Baptists, and then me. We have fun. I told the girls last night I want to go to y'all's church. I do. She didn't want to go. She didn't want to walk on her breakthrough. We don't want to give it up, but we'll complain about it and we'll use it for a reason why we don't do what we do.
Speaker 1:Oh my husband, oh my children, oh my ex-husband. Oh my pastor. Oh my this, oh my that. Oh my ex-husband, oh my pastor. Oh my this, oh my that. Uh-uh. When we stand before the Lord, he is not going to allow you to say oh. He's going to say uh-uh. This is between you and me, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1:They pour gasoline on you and lit you on fire. He just wants to know how you reacted, oh boy, he just wants to know how you reacted. He knows they poured gasoline on you and lit you on fire. He's the first one who knew. He just wants to know how you reacted, how you had a breakthrough in that, how that now, when you see them, after you have all those burns all over your body and all those scars and all of those things that are inside your heart, how you react when you run into them in Walmart head on. He wants to know do you still smell like smoke? Oh, do you still smell like smoke from the time? No, I smell like love, I smell like Jesus. How are you doing? That happens to me all the time when I get in my car and I'm so mad at myself Because in my natural I didn't want to do that. I wanted to still be mad.
Speaker 1:I still wanted to be hurt. I still wanted to be disappointed Because they don't truly know. Really, I gave them all my love, I gave them everything and I poured it out on them and they lit me on fire and they didn't care and I didn't want to hug them and I didn't want to love them. I was justified in how I could have felt, but because of Jesus, because of how he has forgiven me, I couldn't help but hug him. I couldn't help but ask him how their family was. I couldn't help it. In my heart, I couldn't help it. In my heart, I couldn't help it. And my mind was telling me you are crazy. My mind was reminding me, brittany, that I had said if I ever see them again, I'm not going to talk to them, I'm going to walk right by them. My mind was reminding myself of what bondage I was trying to put myself in. But my heart, the heart of breakthrough, the heart of the center of everything that God is to us, couldn't help but embrace them, of the center of everything that God is to us, couldn't help but embrace them.
Speaker 1:But see Lot's wife. She couldn't let go of what she was leaving For her. It was wealth and it was riches and it was a beautiful home and it was just everything, and she thought she had a status in the city. She thought, you know, I'm leaving so much behind and so she was very angry about it and she did it out of just. It wasn't even out of obedience. He basically if you, if you do a lot of breaking down of the words and you break it down in the history, she was literally drugging, she was dragged. Okay, it was like she was because she did not want to go. And see, her not wanting to go would have affected Lot and the family and affected all of us today if she didn't go. But she went, but she couldn't help.
Speaker 1:But look back. Sometimes we can't help it. Sometimes women who have been in an abusive relationship, they can't have a breakthrough into a new relationship because all they do is look back on how it was and they're held to that. People can't go forward in relationships because they can't let go. They keep looking back and we all know what happens. She looked back and immediately it wasn't a process, okay. And see, god spoke to me and told me that this year 2025, there's no more processing going to be happening. There's going to be instantaneous consequences. Take a breath Instantaneous consequences. It was an instantaneous consequence. She was told not to, I'm sure. It was just kind of like they're all walking and she was kind of like, you know, didn't really want anybody to really know she was, but she couldn't help but do it. And she did it, and instantaneously. Lot may not have even seen her look back, the children may have not even seen her look back, but who saw her? Hello, that's all that matters. And when he saw what he saw, instant consequence.
Speaker 1:Ladies, a lot of people say, oh prophet, what's going on? One of the things in the atmosphere it's good to have all these great words. You can go on the internet, you can go on Elijah Litz, you can read all this stuff and it's all wonderful, okay, so I'm not okay, but the realism is, it's all wonderful, okay, and so I'm not Okay, but the realism is, it's up to us. There was an instant consequence. So if you could put that picture up for me, darling, okay, this is Lot's wife the idiot.
Speaker 1:This is on the shore of the Red Sea in Israel today. Today you can go to Israel and you can go on a tour and they will take you to where Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of stone and rock. Until this day, she's in the same place. Take a breath on that one In the same place. If you remain in the same place, you cannot obtain what the future holds for you and what God holds for you, because we're so busy looking back as we look forward. But if we continue to look back, we can't see the greatness of what's in front of us. We can't Because we're double-minded, we're not focused. See, we've got to get focused on what it is that God's telling us to do. We've got to get focused on where God's taking us. We have to get focused, but we're double-minded. And the Bible says what Is what? Hello, what A double-minded man, a double-minded woman, is what? Well, I got this good amen corner over here, so I'm assuming that this part understands this. Why? Because we've walked this and we've experienced this. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1:You got to get it for yourself. This wishy-washy stuff. Get off the fence. You know, and I'm sorry if you feel like you're getting black eyes you are, I am, because it's not this, it's this. Okay, because I look back, pastor Holly, okay, I do. I look back, I look back. I look back what's been stolen from my daughter. I look back what's been stolen from us in ministry. I look back what's been stolen.
Speaker 1:But I'm not stuck there, because I know that my God is not a liar and that my God says that if I, your God, are with you, then there is nothing that can be against me. And I've got to choose, lacey. I've got to choose. That that is true. I have to choose, even though I remember okay, even though I could have a tremendous pity party, because nobody knows how you feel, nobody. They can say I do, but they're lying, because nobody's put on your shoes and nobody's walked where you've walked. They don't know, but you know what God knows and God says that was then.
Speaker 1:I'm taking you out of that. I'm putting you in a place where people love you Just how you are. You don't have to put on any faces, you don't have to pretend to be anything. All I want you to be Lacey is you, because who you are is too, too much. He just wants us okay. You see, I just did a whole series at church where it says you know how you say oh I forgive, and we say it so self-righteously. Come on, y'all know what I'm saying oh I forgive, but I will never forget that's not forgiveness.
Speaker 3:That is such a lie.
Speaker 1:That is a lie. Oh, I've, I forgive them. I said to a lady the other day well, it seems like you just really need to forgive her. Oh, I forgive her, but I will never forget what she said to me. I said well, that doesn't sound like forgiveness to me.
Speaker 1:Forgetting is forgetting the hurt. Forgetting is forgetting the hurt. Forgetting is forgetting the abuse. Forgetting is forgetting. You will never forget the incident, because that's how God created us. Okay, he created us to feel and to have emotion and to have these things. We'll never forget that moment, but we got to forget what it felt like when it happened. We have to forget that we carried it and it caused us to be stuck like stone in one place. And even when we tried to go forward, someone else, someone else who was stuck in the same place, reminded us oh no, don't give it up, kayla, don't give it up, don't you remember? Don't give it up. We have to have that breakthrough. We have to have that thing to go forward into the glorious things God has for us. God's bringing all his people together. He's bringing us all together.
Speaker 1:Pastor Victoria has a fuel summer camp this year. She's she is celebrating 20 years, 20 years of a woman, of God's faithfulness, in the heat of the battle, in the abuse, in the stealing, in everything you want to imagine experience. But I'll tell you what she I say when I grow up, I want to be like you. I always say I say Victoria, please pray for me.
Speaker 1:She just keeps going forward. She is not stuck, because if she was stuck, brittany, it wouldn't be 20 years. If she was stuck, she wouldn't be over in Oregon having another camp, she wouldn't be. But she knows what God has put in her heart. She knows what's ahead, she knows and she just keeps walking and she just keeps battling. But I'm going to tell you something she does it with her boots on. There's no pussyfooting around. She don't play. She does not play that woman of God, not because she's my daughter. She is a woman of God, not because she's my daughter. She is a woman of God and she belongs to the king. That woman raises by herself, with a handful of saints. That grabs the vision eight to $10,000 a year so that these young people can go to a free summer camp.
Speaker 1:And I'm going to tell you the truth as a mom forget ministry, forget being spiritual, forget anything. As a mom, I've said to her it's too much pressure on you, darling, it's too much. They don't really appreciate it, it's too much. But she's like no, I got my boots on. I got a promise from God, I'm going. That's not just for her, that's for us. Every single one of us has a promise of God. See, caitlin could have given up. Okay, I want kids, things are not happening how I thought it would, and all this kind of stuff. And you could get stuck and you could get angry, and I'm sure you did, because we're human. There was that moment. Okay, it's okay, you get stuck, but you know what? It didn't keep you there. It didn't keep you there because, just like Lot, god had a promised land for you. God had a promise for you. God didn't just create you for just nothing. He created you for greatness.
Speaker 1:Each one of us have been created for greatness. But unless we keep our eyes here, unless we go forward, unless we choose the high road, unless we do it, you will live the rest of your life in the same place, stone-like in your heart, because our hearts do become hardened and our hearts do become stone and our hearts do become unpliable and our hearts do become rebellious and our hearts we can just go down the line Because we keep looking back. It's like Pastor Holly says take off your high heels, put on your boots, put on your boots, Put on your boots, get in the muck and the mire, get in the thick of it, because my God is your God. And he says Pastor Donna, we win, you win. Your heart is for those around you to win as well. But I'm going to tell you this it's this important to God. What's important to God is this that you win, because their winning is up to them. Their winning is up to them.
Speaker 1:God just wants to know are you, chloe? You're winning. You want everybody around you to be blessed. You want everybody to be happy. You spend a lot of your time trying to make everybody happy and then there comes a moment where you crash and burn. Because then you're like well, what about me? I'm always giving, else, my little brothers and sisters are always getting everything. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and you crash and you burn. And God says, chloe, I want you to win. And that means I want you to do what you need to do to win. And what is that? Going forward, putting your boots on. Going forward. You know, boots on going forward. You know, get a visual. Go to a thrift store, buy a pair of combat boots Ten dollars. There you go, get a pair. Get a visual. When you're in it at home, put them on, walk around the house, because my Bible says it's all under my feet and so I'm going to have some pretty big shoes to come on. All that stuff and the boots, because we are God's breakthrough for the world, my testimony, your testimony, your testimony, your life, your experience.
Speaker 1:What you're going through, what you're doing, is breakthrough for other people. If God can set these drug addicts free who have been in prison Hello, okay, prison girls Right here, come on up high prison. They don't look like prisoners to me anymore. They look like women a breakthrough, okay, they look like women, a breakthrough, they're not Okay. They can say they say, well, I've been in prison and I was abused in prison and I was this in prison and the law was the law was wrong and this was this and they could be still in that same place in. But oh no, they said, jesus, jesus, I'm going where you're taking me because I've already been where I've taken me, I've already been there, I already know what that looks like. I'm going where you're taking me, I'm going into the breakthrough, I'm going into the promises.
Speaker 1:Whoa, every single one of us have been in a stone like position for some reason or not. But today, god's saying, god's saying be like the rest of Lot's family and go along with what's going on and leave what was behind. You see, lot couldn't even stop and have mercy. It's my wife. Don't go to stone, come on. No, you can't Come on. He couldn't come on. He couldn't because the law, what was given to him, the law, the word that was put on him.
Speaker 1:Don't look back. But but my wife, where's my wife? I don't feel like she's behind me. And God don't look back. Well, well, let me just check to see if she's coming. Don't look back.
Speaker 1:We're always looking to make sure everybody's coming along with us and we're looking back and we're getting stuck when God says keep going, keep going. Ah, because the only one that God is looking after is you. Why? Because you received his son, because you gave up things to follow him, because you have chosen. Yes, we testify, yes, we love. Yes, yes, yes, but don't stop and wait for anybody else to get on the ship, to get on the train, to get on where you're going, because if you stop and look to see if they're coming, lot's wife, god's no respecter. He said nobody, look back. You don't think he would have caused Lot to be Absolutely Because he's not playing. God's full of mercy? Yes, he is, but when we know him, the way we all know him, he's not playing. The Bible says we are accountable for what we know. We're accountable and you know, I really learned a big lesson with that, because I have a lot of friends who know nothing. They wear a shirt that says I'm a Christian.
Speaker 1:But they don't know a thing and they don't want to know a thing. And one friend told me I went to say something the other day and they went. I was like okay. He said I don't want to be accountable, I don't want to be accountable, we're accountable. Lot didn't look back, the kids didn't stop, everybody just kept going. Hearts were broken.
Speaker 1:When they got where they were going, I thought I'm sure there was a mourning period. I'm sure there was a lot of pondering going on. I'm sure there was a lot of thought. I'm sure there was a lot of things that went on. But then they were grateful that they didn't look back. They were grateful that they went into the place that God had already prepared for them. So that's what God is saying to all of us today. So that's what God is saying to all of us today it's time to go into the place that God has already prepared for you. It's waiting for you. That territory, that place where Lot was going, was already prepared. Just like the Israelites, they were given a promise. They were given a promise.
Speaker 1:How many have promises from God? Your Bible is full of promises from Genesis Revelation, full of promises for each and every one of us. And then we have personal promises, then we have corporate promises. We are full of promise. The Israelites had a promise I'm giving you. You don't have to work for it, you don't have to pay me for it. I'm giving you the promised land and when you get there, oh mercy, it's going to be so good. You're going to dance, you're going to shout, you're going to scream, you're going to get all excited because I'm giving it to you. But You're going to dance, you're going to shout, you're going to scream, you're going to get all excited because I'm giving it to you. But you know what they had to go and make sure what it looked like before they took the rest of them in there. So God said pick the tribe. They went. You all know the story. Twelve of them went. They were excited to go. How many were excited to do? Many things, god says oh you're going on a mission field.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're going to go. You're going to go to Russia, but you're going to go Now. Are they on the same weather thing as we are? Is it like winter? Now, it is winter, okay, but of course I mean it's like, well, siberia, you know, and so you know you're going, I'm going to Russia, it's good, I'm going on my first mission trip. I'm going to Russia and, you know, god provided all the finances and it's just going to be wonderful, and I'm going to bring candy for the kids and I'm going to bring extra socks and I'm going to bring this and I'm going to bring that. Oh, I cannot wait. And you get to Russia and you're like I didn't sign up for this. Now, wait a second. This is where we're staying, in a bed, with a hole in the middle. Come on, pastor Janie. You know I thought I paid for a better place than this.
Speaker 1:Hello, that's what the Israelites did, that's the seven spies. They went in, they saw the greatness of it and it was everything that God said Hello, it was everything. And they came back and they said oh, my goodness, it is everything that God said the fruit. They went down the thing. They got all excited and one person said but the people are a little big, Well, we're like grasshoppers. And then the other one said you're right, I was a little nervous about that, but I wasn't going to say anything, like yesterday when I said what I said and I said to all you guys can I get an amen? And you all were like amen. And then Ellie says well, I was waiting for you to say something. She wanted me to be thrown under the bus first. Come on, because she wasn't sure how the rest were going to react. Come on. And then you get there and you're like and then the wind said well, they're pretty big, and I don't know about this, and it just was poison, poison. And they all became stone Because they didn't go anywhere.
Speaker 1:There was two. I said I'm ready to go in right now. Let's just do it Like last night. I pulled the car over and I just said everybody, get out. And they all said right now. I said, yeah, get out In the parking lot In the dark, in the freezing. Yeah, get out right now, right now. See, joshua and Caleb said I'm ready, I'm ready. I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready, just tell us and we're going. No, no, they got stuck where they were at. Okay, what did I tell you? Consequence is happening like this. What was the consequence? Every single one of them who rebelled and refused to go through the breakthrough to get to the other side, them and their generation.
Speaker 1:God waited until it was totally wiped out before he brought them in. I don't know about you, but I'm not waiting for you all to get wiped out before he brought them in. I don't know about you, but I'm not waiting for you all to get wiped out to go in, because I'm going in. I'm going in. I don't need any of you to go with me. I want you to come with me. I want you to dance in the parking lot. I want you to dance up here. I want you to be too too much. I do want you, but I am not going to stop and look to see if you're coming. I'm not. You know.
Speaker 1:Call me self-centered, call me whatever you want, I don't care, I'm not, because I've done it. I've already done it. I've already been to that rodeo, I bought the T-shirt, I've already done it. And you know what, pastor Holly, it's not happening anymore, because I'm going to stand before my Father, alone, Alone, and I want Him to say Well done, well done. Well done, well done, my good and faithful servant, being faithful to what he's called me to do, being faithful to what his word says, being faithful to trusting him with the faith of a mustard seed. That's very, very, very, very, very, very, very small. And if you can't muster up that much faith, bless your heart, like we say in the South. And that doesn't really mean bless your heart, okay, it's like bless their hearts, Good Lord, bless their hearts. You know, it's that easy. So I'd like for everybody to stand, everybody. Take a breath, take a couple of breaths, release those spirits, release that heaviness, release that stuff. You know spirits are breath, they're just. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord, thank you Lord.
Speaker 1:Lord, I thank you that you are the God of the great breakthrough and that, lord, I thank you that you have so many plans and purposes for each one of us and that, lord, as we choose to look forward and go forward, you make ways when, in our natural mind, we could never imagine ways to be made.
Speaker 1:Lord, I ask that you give us all the ability To forgive and to forget of the hurt and the abuse and the disappointment and all the other things that have been mounted up, that we forget that and that we choose to continue to do what it is you have put in us to do. Lord, I thank you that right now, you are mending and healing broken hearts, that hearts, right now, are being broken. And you know, when God spoke to Lot, he said come on, we got to go and and they had to do an action. They were walking it out, they had to just keep walking and not looking back. Okay, that was like a prophetic action they could have, because God could have done whatever he wanted to do. They could have just stayed right where they were and done it, but he didn't. They had to do something. They had to remove themselves, they had to hear what he said, and they had to go forward and not look back. So, right now, I'm going to give you an opportunity in the prophetic realm to do your own prophetic act Because, like I said before, it's not about someone else doing it for you, it's not about.
Speaker 1:It's about you and him being able to walk it out and him being able to walk it out. So, as God just lays things on my heart and as they minister to your heart in a breakthrough way, I want you to come forward, just come up to the altar and just that's it. I'm going in, I'm not, I'm not. I am choosing today not to look back. Lord, I thank you that right now, you are mending broken hearts, that you are mending and creating in us a new heart that is fashioned after you, that this new heart will be a heart of love and compassion and understanding, but it will not be a heart that will sit back and continually to be abused and to look back to what was, but to embrace what it is you have.
Speaker 1:Lord, I thank you that right now, as we go forward and we have a breakthrough, that you are healing minds and our thoughts, our thoughts that cause us to not forgive and forget thoughts that cause us to to not forgive and forget, that we continue to hold on because we can't forgive and not forget. So it's not forgiveness. So, lord, give us the ability to forget and to forgive. Heal, restore, renew our minds, because you tell. Renew our minds, because you tell us that our minds are the minds of your son, christ Jesus, that our minds are fresh and new, full of excitement and full of passion and destiny for the things that you have for us to do.
Speaker 1:I thank you, lord, that there's a breakthrough right now in relationships, all kinds of relationships Spouse relationships, sibling relationships, church relationships, friendship relationships, relationships. There is a breakthrough right now, that, lord, that as we just step and as we just take that action, that there is a relationship breakthrough, then we won't continue to look back and judge every future relation by the past relationship, so that we don't get stuck. Lord, you give us that ability to go forward. Lord, I thank you for the breakthrough of healing, because by the stripes of Jesus, your son, we are healed and we just ask that, right now, as we walk in faith, we just step forward in a breakthrough spirit, saying uh-uh, not today, devil, no more devil, this infirmity, this attack.
Speaker 1:I'm looking forward, because of what God has for me, that I am more than a conqueror. I am the head and not the tail. I am not. I am not full of this infirmity.
Speaker 1:I thank you, lord, that you are the great I am in our lives and as we walk into the things that you have created for us, we walk in victory. We walk with the passion and the power of your spirit. I thank you, lord. We walk in the fullness of your love, fullness of your love that, lord, you cause us to break through of that place of not being able to love 101%, that we're able to love wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly.
Speaker 1:Lord, I thank you that, as your son breathes over us and we, just as you breathe over us a freshness of your spirit, we lift our hands as an act of acceptance of the breakthrough in our lives in these areas breakthrough in our lives in these areas that, as we lift our hands as a reaction or an emotion of surrender, saying it's all for you, god, and what it is I want, and I'm not going to look back, I'm not going to carry anything that was with me.
Speaker 1:I'm getting a new suitcase. It's going to be clean and it's going to be fresh and I'm going to pack the gifts of the spirit in it and that's what I'm going to take with me everywhere I go. I'm going to take the gifts and the spirit of God and that's going to bring me to the place that you have for me. I thank you, lord, that today, that no man or woman will be left behind and none of us will be caught being left behind because we chose. We chose to look back. So we just take a breath, just let God minister to you thank you, jesus, just in.
