SPEAKER_00 0:18

Hey guys, good morning. It is Wednesday.

SPEAKER_02 0:21

I hope you're having a great week. If you did not listen to our podcast last week, then I would encourage you to go back and listen to that because today we're going to be talking to the second part of that podcast. Last week we talked about building altars. Okay. We talked about how we actually build altars to the Lord. This was a place of encounter. And so every time that um in scripture someone would encounter God, they would actually build an altar there as a place of remembrance. So a lot of times when you're going through life, the remedy to shift your mindset or to come out of condemnation, shame, and guilt, and that depression, that down in the dump uh stage, you actually can use remembrance of what God has done in your life before, where you have encountered him before, and actually shift. So, with that being said, today I want to talk about tearing down altars, okay? Now we're gonna look at this from a standpoint of the altar being a stronghold, okay? Um, there can be many different types of strongholds. Um, there could be strongholds in your mind, you can have uh strongholds in the way that your mind thinks, the way that your flesh acts, um, the way that you respond when you get around certain people, certain atmospheres, certain places. It's we call it a trigger in ministry. And so it's basically when you see something or you read something, or you go somewhere, or you pass by a place that has a memory attached to it. Okay, you remember something that happened, good, bad, whatever it is, and it triggers you, okay? It can trigger you for joy, it can trigger you for anger, it can trigger you for pain. Um, you know, there's many different things that the triggers can result in many different ways, just depending on how the stronghold was built. Was it built in a positive way or was it built in a negative way? Okay, throughout your life, these these strongholds and these altars of encounter and and good, and even the altars that are bad, they are things that you have encountered throughout your life. Maybe as a child, you know, this one thing repeatedly happened and you it it built an altar, it built a stronghold there, okay? Maybe you look at a picture, you know, maybe you're older and you look at pictures of when you took your children to their first beach trip. You know, that triggers joy, that's a remembrance and an altar in your mind and your heart. So let's look at what is a stronghold biblically. Second Corinthians 10, 4 through 5. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to pulling to the pulling down of strongholds. Some strongholds need to be pulled down, they need to be demolished. So, what does this mean? The word stronghold, it means it's a fortress, a prison, a place where something is deeply rooted and defended. It's not just that it's there, but it's something that you defend. A stronghold, it can be a mindset, a belief, a pattern that opposes the truth of God and resist being removed. Now we're speaking in a we're speaking in negative strongholds for this podcast. So last week we talked about positive. This one is gonna focus more on the negative strongholds that need to be torn down. So if the stronghold is in your mind, 2 Corinthians 10 5 says, says, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. This could be a lie that you believe, an inner argument that you believe is truth, different patterns of thinking that feel normal. Okay, they're normal to you. Why? Because that's what you've been taught, that's how you were raised. It was built as a stronghold in your life. However, when you read the word of God, you realize that what I think is normal actually opposes God. If it's in your behavior, maybe like an agreement with sin, Romans 12, 2. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. These are cycles that you can't seem to break. You just can't seem to get out of this thing. Like you don't want to do it anymore. I've had this part of my testimony. You know, when I was a young girl, I just continued to go to the altar every Sunday, but it was like I would just go home on Monday and I would do the same things over and over again. And I would cry out to God at the altars, and I didn't understand why why was it not changing? Why was it not shifting? Because it was a stronghold. And that is there's a process to taking that down. So this could be something that you can't break. Reactions that feel automatic. You just automatically respond in a certain way when certain things trigger you or happen, and you almost like don't have control. It just happens, and later you're like, Man, why do I keep doing that? I don't want to do that, I don't want to respond that way. Why? Because it's a stronghold, it actually has had control in your life for so long that now it's almost like you don't even get a choice because this stronghold has been built and your body automatically knows how to respond, but it's not the way that God wants you to. Strongholds could be emotional patterns rooted in lies. I remember one time when I was trying to tear down a stronghold of depression, I would encounter something so funny and I would laugh so hard. But as soon as I got to that, like that that peak of joy, all of a sudden my whole body would shift and I would go into this weird like depression, and I would start crying. And it was literally like I felt like every time I tried to have joy, almost like somebody just came and snuffed it out, and it I resulted in depression every single time. And I remember crying out to God when I realized what was happening. I thought, what is this? Like there's something there that crushes my joy every single time. And you know, it took a process of actually teaching my body, no, when we feel joy, we don't respond with sadness and depression and guilt and shame. But that was an area in my life where I still needed deliverance from shame and guilt and condemnation that I had been raised up under, you know, um, throughout my life, just in different situations that I had been through, you know, whether it was just just anything, it could be friends, it could be parenting, it could be how you were raised in the church, you know, if you sat under a a minister who was constantly condemning people for sin, like, you know what I'm saying? You're going to have that response when you when you need to respond in joy, if you still have that shame and that guilt and that condemnation, then it's gonna steal your joy every single time. That's the enemy's whole point is to kill, steal, and destroy. So we have to look and say, like, okay, he's stealing my joy. How can I retrain my body to respond in joy and not depression? In my case, that's was a stronghold. I had to basically like reteach myself how to respond to my emotions. So, with that being said, uh, can be emotional patterns, okay. Matthew 10:36 says, A man's enemies will be those of his own household. Even internal conflict, what's within you can become fortified. That's basically that example of my joy not being able to be the stronghold in my life. It was the the depression, the shame, the guilt, the condemnation that would always take over my joy. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 9:08

So let's talk about strongholds versus altars. Alright.

SPEAKER_00 9:14

Altars are where agreement is made.

SPEAKER_02 9:19

I mean, we agree with so many things that we don't even know that we agree with, and we don't realize that this is the open door, this is the access to the enemy being able to build a stronghold in our life. What we agree with. And it's not like we're like publicly saying, Oh, yes, I agree with that. Say you watch a a movie and you know it's got like some soft porn in it, maybe just you know, the back of a woman and her butt, and you know, whatever, you're like, Oh, that's not really porn. Well, yeah, it is, and in that moment that you actually didn't turn it off right in that instant and immediately obey the word of God that says to guard your eyes, and that if your eye causes you to sin to pluck it out, turning the TV off instantly and repenting and say, No, I don't receive that vision, I don't receive that image that I just saw of basically some other woman's body, like that's the intimate part of her, and so you've the enemy just caused you now to enter a place of her intimacy with you know the Lord and her creator, and so now you've stepped into that place of defiling that that person basically by even just looking at them, and not only that, but because you maybe didn't turn it off and you kept watching the movie, boom, instantly. Agreement. That's agreement. You don't have to publicly stand up and proclaim and send out a message to the world. I agree with this. You know what I mean? It's not like a protester. You're not, you know, carrying the signs in downtown of your city and literally going, I agree with this. No, it's just simply because you didn't, you didn't stop in that moment, turn that movie off, and say, No, I don't receive this in your spirit, and say that's not for me. I'm not gonna watch this. This goes against the word of God, and I'm not gonna put that into my spirit. Because you didn't do that, you automatically step into a place of agreement. All right. And the more that you don't do that, um, so in our family, my kids, they we went through this season where we had to really refine our what we watched on TV because anytime somebody would say the Lord's name in vain, anytime there was any kind of magic or witchcraft or spells or cussing or anything, I mean, even just the things that we call the smallest things are big to God because they open doors for the enemy to begin to build a stronghold. A lot of what we listen to and what we agree with and what we watch on TV and what we partner with, we have friends that cuss and we don't say anything, those that's agreement. Saying nothing is agreement. Okay, doing nothing is agreement. People think, oh, well, I didn't partner with that because I didn't say it and I didn't do it. No, actually, if you stay in that atmosphere and you compromise and you enter, you entertain it by not walking away, by not saying something, by not counteracting it, you are agreeing with it. And so these are how stronghold holds are made. Okay, we've got to be a little bit more disciplined with ourselves. And so in my family, you know, if I'm cooking and my kids are watching something and I hear the Lord's name in vain, even just a simple oh my god, I don't care if they say it one time, my kids know instantly, shut it off, put it down, go to the next video. Um, we I don't care. Like there's been times where we have rented a movie, paid$30 to watch that movie on TV, and all the way until probably three-fourths of the movie, literally getting to the end of the movie, they will say the Lord's name in vain or a cuss word or something, and we will have to shut the whole movie down. And yes, it it sucks because we paid$30. We literally only have 15 more minutes until the end of the movie. Most people would be like, oh, you know, I'll just finish watching it. No, that is literally that is literally immediate obedience, and that is shutting it down. That is refusing to partner with darkness. So guys, we have to be, if we can't be that disciplined when no one is around, when we're in our house, when we're by ourselves, when we're watching a video or whatever on TikTok or YouTube or Instagram, like if you can't literally be that obedient and swipe up and move on and literally die to the fact that you want to see the rest of the video or you want to watch the rest of the movie, then you are not in alignment with the word of God and you are not biblically disciplining yourself, okay? And you are causing a lot of doors to be open in your spirit, and then people turn around and they're like, Well, why can't I hear God? Well, why do I not know the purpose of my life? And well, why do I, you know, I read the word of God, but like it just feels dead to me. Like, I don't know. Well, it's because all that other trash from watching those movies and reading those romance books, and I mean all that other like lustful, just worldly things that are unnecessary are actually in the way of you hearing God and knowing your purpose and being able to follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit. So it's not everybody else's fault, it's your own fault because in your personal life you refuse to choose God over the worldly things. So we have to get that discipline. These are altars that are being built in agreement. So the stronghold is what the agreement builds, all right? You don't get a stronghold without first making agreement somewhere. There is never a stronghold where there has not been some type of agreement. Altars, even unseen ones, are where lies are believed, pain is partnered with, and sin is justified. Over time, that agreement becomes a fortified structure in the mind and in your life. So not only do you begin to believe it internally, but you begin to actually walk it out. All right, it always first starts in your belief system, what you believe, what you allow. If you don't know the word of God, and if you don't read your Bible and you don't know the right way to respond because you don't know the word of God, well, that's gonna be hard. That's gonna be hard for you to not agree with that. You need to be reading the word of God so that you actually can allow the Holy Spirit to pull those things to your mind because the Holy Spirit is inside of us, yes, but the more we put in the word, the more he can pull it back to our remembrance. He can't pull up something that you haven't put in. So put in the time with the Lord in the morning. I mean, read a chapter a day, it's not hard. You can scroll on your phone for 20 minutes, you can watch TV. I mean, you're in your car, you can turn on the Bible app and listen if you just can't have time to sit down and read. There is absolutely zero excuse. There's no excuses for not reading the word of God. I mean, guys, these people back in the day, they didn't even have Bibles like we have them. They didn't have an audio Bible that they could literally sync to the speakers of their car and turn it on and listen to the word of God. They literally had to share pages of the scrolls and study them and then give them back. Like they couldn't even go back and reference them like we did. They had to literally have them in their brain, in their memory. They had to constantly feast on the word of God so that they could even know the word of God. They had to listen to the Pharisees and go to the temple, and that's the only way that they got to hear the word of God. What if you didn't have your Bible at home? What if you didn't have Google, you didn't have Chat GPT, you didn't have the Bible app where you could listen to the Word of God? What if you had zero access to the Word of God except for your Sunday sermon on Sunday mornings and your Bible study on Wednesday night and Sunday night or how many other times you go to church? What if that's all you had? That was the only way you heard the word of God. Guys, we would be doomed. Like the world these days, it would be it would just be horrible. And I think about that's all they had back in the day. And they knew it like the back of their hand, like they could quote it because it was that important to them to know the ways of God, to know what Abraham said, to know, um to know God, literally. So, guys, don't take advantage of having what we have these days, your Bible, you know, at your hand at any moment, your Bible app. You know, don't not read the Bible and not listen to the Bible app, because that is such a beautiful gift that God has given us. And it's it's something that we need to cherish and we need to be thankful for by actually reading it. That's how we give him thanks for that type that provision of the word by actually reading it and studying it and putting it in our hearts. Okay, so how do we pull down the strongholds? 2 Corinthians 10 4 says, Mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Okay, and I'm only reading pieces of this. If you want to go back and read all of it, I would encourage you to get your Bible out and read it. 2 Corinthians 10 4. Okay, we're not called to cope with them, we're not called to rename them, we're called to destroy them. Do you know what it takes to actually destroy? Have you ever seen someone demolish a building? Okay, if you haven't, I would encourage you to get on YouTube and just Google like building demolish, like um, how to demolish a building. Look at what it takes to actually demolish a let's say a 10-story building, okay. If you remember 9-11, like I want you to think about that a building being demolished and what all that takes to do that. Not only do you have the building that is built, but once you demolish it, you have all the the rubble, you have all of the stuff that still has to be cleaned up. So even when a stronghold is torn down, it's a process in tearing it down. They start from the bottom up and they begin to take out the lower the lower parts of the building so that the top will actually collapse within itself. And so go and look that up and um study what it looks what it means to to demolish a building, because if you can get this image in your mind that that is what a stronghold looks like in your brain, so the enemy's whole purpose is to build a kingdom and a city within your mind. So if you could see your mind as like this big city with different buildings and and different things going on, some buildings. Are small, some are very tall. You know, if you think about like maybe like New York or somewhere that has a lot of buildings, all different sizes, different businesses, different um purposes. If you could see in your mind like that, as a city of strongholds, some are good, some are bad. That is what it looks like, and that's what it takes to actually tear one down. Once those buildings fall, they have to clean up everything. It takes a long time. I literally just watched um them demolish just a small trailer park in my area, and I mean it took weeks. It took week this is a trailer park. This isn't tall buildings, you know. Some people who are 70 and 80 years old, I mean, they got like the Eiffel Tower that's gotta come down that um has been built over time. So I want you to think about it from that perspective. All right, 2 Corinthians 10 5 says, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. This is where the tearing down actually happens. Like when you identify the lie, you confront it with truth and you refuse agreement. But guess what, guys? If you don't know the word of God, how in the world are you gonna identify that it's a lie? How are you actually gonna confront it with truth if you don't know the truth? How are you gonna refuse agreement if you haven't been convicted by the word of God and knowing what he said to do and what not to do? It's not that he's trying to give you a list of rules, he's just trying to give you a foundation, a foundation to work with, a foundation to compare to. You should be able to take the word of God and say, This thought came to my mind. Let me see how this is in agreement with the word of God or how it is not. Then in that moment, you can say, No, I refuse to receive that lie. I refuse to see receive that that is truth. And because this is what the word of God says, I know people think it's crazy to talk to yourself. Guys, you need to talk to yourself, you need to minister to yourself. You need to say, uh, excuse me, what did you just think? No, that is not my portion, that is not who I am in Christ, that is not my identity, I don't receive it. You will leave in the name of Jesus, and I bring this thought captive into the obedience of Christ. You need to minister to yourself. The problem is, is we have all these ministers out there who want to minister to everybody else, but they haven't even never ministered to themselves. If you want to be a minister of the gospel and you want to teach the gospel and you want to preach the gospel and help other people, you need to first learn how to preach to yourself. You need to first learn how to preach and minister to yourself. You need to be laying hands on yourself, you need to be uh anointing yourself with oil, you need to be calling your body and your flesh and your mind into alignment. Don't start trying to call other people into alignment and pray over other people's minds when you haven't even dealt with your own demons, your own issues, your own strongholds, your own lies. If you haven't done that, guys, minister to yourself, talk to yourself. There's many times where I will have a random call uh thought come into my mind, and I'll say, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. That is not my thought. I don't know where you came from, but I cast you into the pit of hell. You do not belong in my mind. That I have the mind of Christ, and you know, I am blessed going in and blessed going out, and you just begin to know, confront it with truth. Okay, refuse agreement. If you have been in the word of God, if you have encountered Jesus, all right, you should be able to identify the lie. Why? Because the Holy Spirit lives inside of you and he will convict you and he will say that's not your portion, you know. So again, renewing the mind, you have to do that. Romans 12, too, be transformed by the renewing of your mind. You have to minister to your mind, you have to tell your mind, no, you don't get to keep that. No, it's like, I don't know. I keep seeing, I see this vision of like this little kid that wants candy, and and you no, you take the candy away. No, that's not healthy for you. No, no, you know, and you know, it grabs it and takes it and wants to eat it and have it. And no, you can't have candy right now. We're about to eat dinner, you know. No, you can't have a Dr. Pepper at 10 p.m. because it's full of caffeine and we're about to go to bed. You know, not that we want to be mean and not let you have Dr. Pepper before bed at 10 o'clock. But I'm thinking about the fact that you're not gonna be able to sleep. And then tomorrow, when you get up and go to school at 6 a.m., you're gonna be grouchy and you're gonna be mad. Why? Because you didn't get any sleep because you drank Dr. Pepper. No, it's not that we're trying to be mean, it's the fact that we're thinking about the effects later of what it is gonna do to you. So that's why we have to know truth and we have to be led by the Holy Spirit. And when he says, hey, no, that's not for you, you can't have that right now. It's not that you can't have it maybe in the morning when you wake up at nine o'clock. Okay, yeah, that's great because guess what? You're not about to go to sleep. So there's certain things that we have to, we have to almost we have to almost treat our mind and our flesh and even our heart sometimes and say, hey, no, that's not right. You don't get to act like that, you don't get to think like that. And so I think it's easier for us as parents because we've raised children, but guys, we need to be raising the childlike faith. We need to be raising the child inside of us and ministering to ourselves. And if we can do that, then we can help God's people. It's not that you have to get right and you have to get holy before you help other people, but guys, don't abandon yourself, okay? Don't abandon helping your own mind and your own heart and your own flesh grow just because you know we get so focused on trying to help everybody else that we forget that we need to minister to ourselves too. Jesus says, love your neighbor as yourself. Okay, if you can't love yourself and minister to yourself and teach yourself, then you can't do that for your neighbor. So we need to be doing that. We need to be tearing down these strongholds in our minds. Strongholds, they are replaced. You can't just remove them, you can't just go in and pray for somebody and be like, I break this stronghold in your life in Jesus' name. Yeah, no, that's not gonna be good because actually, what's gonna happen is like Jesus said in the Bible, that the house will be clean and the demon will come back and see that it's clean and will bring seven more. No, you can't just just get rid of a stronghold. You it has to be replaced by truth, it has to be torn down by truth. Truth has to be installed where the lie was. So demolishing false altars. This this is from an old testament pattern. I want you to relay altars and strongholds together in this podcast. Deuteronomy 7 5. Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones. In Judges 6 25, Gideon tore down the altar of Baal.

SPEAKER_01 30:31

And so we have to remember that there is a tearing down process before victory. Altars had to be torn down. Then the people were free after that, after they were torn down.

SPEAKER_02 30:46

So you can't just go in and you know act like, oh, I'm just gonna just do this real quickly. No, it's a process, it's a process. The word of God says, those who endure to the end will receive the gift of salvation. That is how we inherit the kingdom of God. We endure. It's a process, it's okay.

SPEAKER_00 31:15

Judges 6 26. Then build a proper altar to the Lord your God. You don't just tear down, you rebuild with the truth, worship and surrender. Worship God not praise. There's a difference between worship and praise. Worship is surrender. Its foundation is surrender, it's obedience, it's saying no to the things that are not of God. It's studying what truth is so that you can say no.

SPEAKER_02 31:56

A lot of people don't say no because they don't even know what the yes is. They don't know what the truth is, so they can't even say no.

SPEAKER_01 32:05

Okay? You can't cast down a stronghold if you're still maintaining the altar that built it.

SPEAKER_02 32:14

Guys, do you know that every single time that you partner or agree with something that is against the word of God, you are giving a sacrifice on that altar. If you have an altar and a stronghold in your life, let's say of anger, this is one I had to deal with. Every time that I was challenged or triggered and responded in anger instead of peace and self-control, I was giving a sacrifice of anger to that altar in my life, to that stronghold. But there came a point where God continued to trigger me on purpose so that I could respond a different way. And sometimes He would say, I need you to pay attention, you're about to be tested, and I would be ready for the test, so I thought he would trigger me, and I had a split second to choose how I wanted to respond. How I responded determined if the altar was established or if it was torn down, and each time that I chose to respond in self-control versus anger, that altar began to be torn down. That stronghold in my mind began to tell my body, hey, no, we don't respond that way anymore. We respond this way. Think about this. When I was a kid, we rode four-wheelers and we basically made our own trails in the woods. And so think about two trails. One trail you've you've driven down so many times that it actually has become a road. And now there's another trail that you want to blaze, and it's kind of a trail, but it's still got a lot of briars and bushes, and it's not really a clear path at that point. You have to choose the path less traveled. He says that the way is narrow and few find it. You need to find the narrow path and respond in the narrow path. So when you say you have um an issue with anger, like I did, in those moments, I knew God was gonna continually trigger me with really with my family, with my children, with intense atmospheres. It was almost like he would fill my plate up and he would fill it up and fill it up and fill it up. And I was like, Good gracious, when are we gonna stop having all these things coming at me at once? And I remember the Holy Spirit saying, When you respond the right way. But it wasn't just one time, it was multiple times that he was like, No, respond the right way. No, respond the right way. And guys, he would take a week, two weeks to re-trigger me. He would maybe pause for a month and then he would re-trigger me again after two months to see that if I was growing, if I was able to have self-control and say, No, I don't respond that way anymore, I respond this way. And I took the road less traveled every single time. And eventually the road less traveled became the actual clear road and the clear path to take. And as I began to refuse to take the original road, that road began to grow up. So if you have a path through the woods and you stop taking it, what happens? Overgrowth. It begins to grow and close up, and so now you have learned to take the path that is good, that is true, that is in alignment with the word of God. So it is a process. You do learn how to renew your mind, but guys, it takes time. Don't get frustrated that you're retaking the test. Just say, okay, I'm being tested, and here we go. I'm not gonna respond the old self, I'm gonna respond the new crucified self with Christ, and I'm gonna make a new path. Okay, those paths are strongholds. It's like you have to rewire your brain and your flesh and your body to respond the right way. Because I mean, for me, I was 35 years old by the time I did this. That's 35 years of walking one way, and all of a sudden in surrender, God starts teaching me how to walk a different way. I mean, think about a baby when they learn to walk. It's a process. So you have to do that in tearing down these altars and tearing down these strongholds. You have to choose the righteous way. Yes, I love people who go to the altar, they get delivered, they never they never go back. It's like it's just like this beautiful grace of God, and this He just does it and they they just move on. But that doesn't mean that he does that in every area of your life, he's not gonna do that in every area of your life. Why? Because you don't learn anything. Because how are you gonna teach other people if he just boomed got rid of it for you and just didn't teach you anything? No, he's trying to teach you endurance, he's trying to grow your faith and grow your glory and continue to draw you to himself. I mean, if he just came and like wiped everything off the slate and and boom, and you're good, and you just, you know, you walking in holiness and you don't sin, and you're just so great at responding and you're great at everything, like, what do you need him for? So he's not gonna do that because it actually pushes you away from him, and it actually is very dangerous and could take you into a place of pride. So it's actually his protection to make you go through the process, to make you endure. It's his protection to keep you from a spirit of pride. And so be thankful for that, be thankful for the process. But it's so beautiful because what you go through, you're gonna be able to help other people walk through. So I hope this helped in what it means. And this is a very basic teaching on strongholds and altars that need to be torn down in your life. Again, if I can't say anything else, I will say, guys, please, please learn to minister to yourself. Please learn to talk to yourself. You're not crazy if you're walking down the road talking to yourself. It's good. Minister to yourself, teach yourself, command yourself, take authority over your own land, the land of your heart and the land of your mind and the land of your flesh. Like minister to yourself, teach yourself and command yourself and take authority over yourself and command it to come into alignment of the Spirit of God. You know, it's good, it's good to do that. So if you have any questions, guys, feel free to reach out to us. We have a website, it's www.globalfootprints ministries.com. Um, you can reach us there. Um, we have a contact information where that that literally comes straight to my email. So you can reach out to me there if you have any questions, or maybe you have a stronghold or an altar that you just can't seem to stop doing, or you can't just seem to get that thing to submit, or you know, you can't seem to walk away from it. If you need help, guys, reach out to us. I would love, we can jump on a Zoom, we can jump on a phone call. Literally, it'll take five, ten minutes. Um, it takes no time to just help you understand and and um give you maybe some direction on what you can do to help break that cycle. Um, we can pray for you. You know, if there's any kind of demonic influence, we can break that off for you. Just make your process so much easier and so much faster. So please reach out to us if you need help. We're here to help. We want to see people walking in freedom and truth in the spirit of God. That is our heart and our passion behind the ministry, is just to help. Jesus said, I've come to give you life and life more abundantly, guys. He doesn't want you walking around struggling, battling and fighting all the time. He wants you to have joy and he wants you to be peace and just enjoy life and love life and not wake up, you know, hating, hating life. Like, I surely hope people don't do that. But I think sometimes we get in these seasons where it's just like the enemy is just so bombarding us that we just can't seem to even get a a grasp of air. So, guys, reach out to us if you need to. We will love to pray for you, even if it's just that through an email, guys. We've seen people literally get delivered and set free just through an email. Um it doesn't even have to be a phone call, it doesn't have to be a zoom, whatever. God can do whatever he wants, he just loves it when his people ask for help.
