(upbeat music) You have awakened from sleep and have several questions and concerns. You wonder, what comes next? Where is my seat at the table? What should I right now be doing? And what is the Most High's real truth and instruction? How can I prepare for his exodus? And is anybody gonna tell me how I can hear from him for myself? Well, let me tell you. I'm immensely joyful that you are here. I'm Charlene and the Most High have sent me to share with you his heart, to bring spiritual clarity, correction, deliverance and sovereignty. Our father, creator and heaven and earth, wants to teach us how to use his authority to accomplish the destiny he invested within us. As you well know, many other afflictions are the righteous, but the Most High deliverance out of them all. He also regained as a mind, body, heart, soul, and spirit of his children. And none of us that trust in him shall be desolate. I invite you to participate in your deliverance so that you willingly obey the most high without fear. And make a joy of our father and heaven, be our strength as we rise in obedience victory. Now this.(upbeat music)♪ I surrender all♪♪ Father, I surrender all ♪♪ And all to thee my ♪♪ Set apart savior ♪♪ Yes ♪♪ I surrender all ♪- Beloved, we want to simply surrender our all to have, Father, he's calling for our all family. Now in this time today, the Most High is requiring us to surrender our everything to him. And what he has impressed upon my spirit is for us to challenge ourselves, to disciple ourselves, to discipline ourselves and to position, position ourselves in the posture of obedience and surrendering everything to him. There is a work that he wants to do and and through, for and around us. And it requires our complete utter total willing submission unto him so that that which he desires to perform in our life, he can do it freely. And so what that looks like for us, beloved is that over the next 40 days, we're gonna simply come before our Father is so rendered total surrender unto him. Now we're gonna walk that out together and as we move in obedience, we know that we can expect his perfect will to unfold for us. And as that is taking place, he will guide us and teach us that which he wants to impart into us at this appointed time. So beloved, what I'm here to do is simply to come alongside of you and ask you to come alongside him with me as we surrender everything to him. And that surrender looks like total surrender in every area of our life. And when we are coming to the father and we're saying, all right, father, we're gonna give out all our everything. We open up our spirits, our spiritual eyes, our spiritual ears, all of our spiritual senses to hear what he is desiring to say to us or reveal to us by way of our obedience and surrendering to him. And the maximum benefit and the process that we will be able to gain is if we add in fasting and a consecration unto him. A lot of us know about fasting, but I want to share some things that the Most High has taught me. That fasting, number one, is a requirement of the Most High concerning certain things that we are desiring of him. So it's a requirement. There are certain spirits that can only come out through fasting and prayer, not just prayer and faiths all alone, but we must activate and implement this principle and the gift that is fasting coming to our father in the way in which he requires. And we can find that in Isaiah 48 or is it 58? I'll check that real quick, but what we're doing when we fast is we are fine-tuning ourselves. We are fine-tuning ourselves to receive everything from our Father and him only that he is wanting to impart and that he is wanting to do. So if he is calling for a time of submission unto him, then there is something that he wants to do, Beloved. And as always, our answer should be yes. So I am encouraging you to join in, to challenge yourself and join in on this beautiful opportunity of obedience over the course of the next 40 days in which we will submit and surrender everything to the Father. And my expectation is throughout this time, he's gonna reveal to us exactly what that entails. What we're doing on today is simply giving him a yes. Hopefully that would be your choice because it certainly is mine. And I'm kinda late. Let me just confess, the Father put this in my spirit a month ago and I allow myself to be distracted and kind of pulled in different directions that was needing my attention, but nothing, is more important than the voice of our Father. And I thought that, okay, well, I'll do it in this way. But total surrender is total. And that means in every area. And that means I need to surrender my will number one. I need to surrender my time. And I need to surrender my heart because how I think about what it is that the Father wants to do in these next 40 days is irrelevant. What he's wanting, what he's about to reveal, what's about to come, all of that is irrelevant. And when I surrender everything to him, I need to release my expectation of what he wants to do and reveal and say, I need to release that unto him. And I need to come into agreement that, yes, Father, we hear you, okay, you are requiring the next 40 days. I'm coming into agreement with that and I release my will to be in agreement as well. And Father, the application of obedience when he is functioning us, drawing us by his spirit, you can feel and pull in on you. As you're listening to me, your spirit is bearing witness that I too should do this. Let me, you know, position myself and pray, father, and seek you as to what I need to do and challenging myself over the next 40 days. Write where I'm at and beloved. Let me tell you whenever you're listening to this, the Most High is calling you to it for that appointed time. That's a beautiful thing about him. And I'm sure we're learning that and I'll walk with him that he brings us to things at the appointed time that he is desiring to fulfill that very thing in our life. And when we surrender, he unfolds that even more. And so when we surrender in obedience and as I was saying, the maximum benefit that we could get out of the next 40 days would be to couple our obedience with consecration, shutting some things off and coming until the father as he required in the order of fasting. And since I brought that up, let me go to Isaiah because this is very important. And we want to, we reposition ourselves to seek the Father in obedience and we say, okay, Father, I believe that you have spoken this unto me. This is something that you want me to do. Our yes is the very first step in everything else will follow but our will, submitting your will unto him. And even if you know you're thinking, I've tried this before, you know, I've started out fasting or seeking you about a matter or praying and I got weary or I got busy, I got distracted. I got tired of waiting for the outcome or we were bombarded with a text during and after. What the most I want us to do is determine our hearts again. Right? He never gives up on us. He never gives up on us. He yet terries with us. He continues to draw us by his spirit, by his unchiening. Right? His ministering angels are continuing to guide us towards his perfect will for our life. He doesn't give up on us. So let's not give up on ourselves. And let's determine again, yes, father. I give you my yes, I will seek you again. I will challenge myself again. I will obey again. And this time, Father, I pray this is one of the applications that we can do to aid ourself, Father, that which I need to be consistent and obedience and to commit to this challenge, to surrender. My everything to you and everything in every way that that is and how it looks like, what it entails and what it will require of me, including everything that will come my way throughout the process of these 40 days. I ask you to help me, give to me, send to me, release unto me everything that I need to be successful and to finish strong in you because my desire is to align my life with your perfect will. So I say, yes, Father, to surrender my everything unto you for the next 40 days, Father, help me to consecrate unto you, please speak unto my heart, the way in which I am to do that and I give you my yes. All right, beloved. That's one of the ways in everything, everything we should acknowledge the Most High. And we also need to acknowledge the ways in which we felt before, let's say, Father, you know, I've tried this or I've tried that. You told me to do something and I didn't do it. I forgot or, Father, please help me, Father, help me not to fall off, not to forget, not to get distracted, not to be overwhelmed and not let in me voice, consume your voice. But let me hear you clearly, draw me by your spirit, Father, let me not rest until I have commune with you each and every day over the next 40 days while you minister unto me, while I am surrendering everything. And that is what obeying him looks like when he calls us to a thing, when he puts it on our spirits, as he has put placed it on mind, I have learned 30 years to give the Father a yes. And then there will be times that I find that I have done that. And then there is some great, total mental concern, which is really a bloc, right? And embargo, the enemy is raising up within me a concern or something that's coming up or past failures or even fear. Why are you calling us to submit? By the way, why do you want me to do that? What is coming? Like what's going on? The enemy always tries to come in and flood our minds and our spirits with all these what is and anything that will rise itself up against the knowledge of what the most I has already spoken, which is, I need you to surrender come to me. Come on. I want you to commit challenge yourself, my child. You know, for the next 40 days, walk with me, determining your heart to surrender everything unto me, walk with me. And we know that looks like seeking him, right? And the foundation of ways in which we do that, we pray, we get in the word and see where he wants to guide us. We listen after we've prayed to see if he wants to speak anything to us. And then we completely structure our days to hear from him. We shut out all the noises. And a lot of that looks like so many different things for so many of us. Some of the examples of that is family. There's the immediate ones to, you know, there's nearest to us. Those are the ones the enemy will love to come and use without them knowing and some with them knowing. But majority of the time is without them even knowing. And he'll, he'll, he'll rally them up against us in whatever way he can. That can look like confusion. I misunderstood things that can look like stressful situations, attacks, the washer messing up the car, you know, something at work is going on. A lot of different things, the children are having a hard time at school or at work, things are getting hectic, challenges, you know, expectations that are expected of you just comes out of the blue. All these different things will try to come. How every enemy could come to try to fix us to make us weary to get us out track to remove us from this posture of agreement to the word of the most time that he is called for submitting and to also pull our will from it. And so when we pray, when we seek the Most High, we get in his presence every day and we position ourselves to say, okay, Father, here I am, I'm submitting. Yes, I could have went, you know, to the baseball game. I could have taken them to the party. We could have, we could have went somewhere. We could have did XYZ. I could have got on the phone and chipped chatted. I could have watched my TV show. I could have deep-dived and worked late this week and picked up a bunch of extra hours. But when we discipline ourselves and we were in a posture of agreement and obedience to the most time, we shut down all the extra. And that extra, we now pour and to seek in him and spend and time in his presence and praying. And afterwards sitting quietly to hear what he wants to say to us, to see how he wants to reveal something to us. We put on worship music even more so than what we normally listened to and sing praises unto him because we are submitting unto him everything. Our plans, our will, our concerns, things that we have to get done, whatever it is, our expectations, things that we're expecting, things that we're going through, some of us are going through some things, some of us are about most of the time when most have caused for us, a time of submitting unto him. It's because there is something that he's about to take us through. There's something that we're facing. And he's calling us to walk it out with him. And it's not just you saying, help me, Father. See me through this. And I'll see you on the other end. But no, he needs to draw you in. He needs to draw you in. And he needs your agreement. And he needs your discipline, you disciplining yourself to pull away and spend some time with him more than normal. And consecrate him before him helps to make that easy. It strengthens your spirit. So that your spirit may-- you're more easily able to hear him and to sense him when he is speaking to us because he does it in so many different ways. And even though our flesh may be weak and we're thinking, oh, I'm so hungry. I'm getting hungry over here. Can they leave me alone? That is just a-- you know, it's a byproduct of what the main focus is, which is for our spirits to be strengthened, to be fortified, and to come online 100% because something is happening in the spiritual realm and our Father wants to get something to us through us or bring us to something or through something. OK? So join me. Join me, beloved, in going before the Father. Let's come into agreement to accept this challenge. Accept and seek him over the next 40 days. Now, I did seek the Father. And I was like, you know, 30 days. I heard it 30 days, why? I heard it 30 days. You know, most of the time when you hear about 30 days, you hear that, OK, in order to change a habit, you have to-- or if you want to implement a new habit in your life, do it for 30 days. And then, you know, it becomes second nature. But I'm going to give you insight that the most I gave me. And what he says is, there's power in that 40 day commitment to him. When he is calling us to something for 40 days, he said he is seeking to change our entire life. He is seeking to do a great transformation in our life. He's shifting things completely. And he is calling us to greater, to something greater. And one of the examples that he brought to me was when his son, our king, right before he was, too, as we saw in the scriptures, start his ministry. He went on a 40 day fast, you know, a consecration of time in which he spent uninterrupted, undistracted, focused, submittal time with the Father. And when he came out of that on the other side, he was immediately challenged. Was he not? He was immediately challenged by his adversary. And the beautiful thing was he was already equipped. Hallelujah. He was equipped. The Father equipped him with everything he need. And he was able to be victorious. He put his enemy back in his place. Yes, he did, because the Father was able to fortify him. And after that 40 day fast, our king's life was never the same. He went on to fulfill the great purpose that the Father sent him here to do, my, to Father. So the power of 40-- that's just one example. And no, we don't need to-- or a lot of us aren't able to pull completely away from everything and everyone. But we don't have to. We don't have to. I tell you, when you're filled with his spirit, all you need to do is submit your will and to seek him. And believe it, he pulls you in. Come on, he pulls you in to the intercourse. He pulls you in to his secret place. And when we submit unto him, that is really where we should be desiring to go deeper into him. He really wants to say, and from this time, when we submit to him this way, he releases to us that which he needs to get to us. And it's very important because a time of submittal is not just a normal time with the most high of consecration, saying, OK, we're going to do a three day fast or seven day fast. We're just going to seek the Father. We're praying for a new month or this new year or something like that. And all those are good. But when the Father is calling for this time of complete submittal unto him and he put a time of praying of 40 days, that's what he told me. And that's what I'm going to do. I'm embarking upon that and praying that if that's his desire for you, that you do the same. And we know that, OK, there's something great that he's wanting important, that he's wanting to release, to reveal, to bring us through and through or to bring through and to us. And to me, that's such a wonderful thing. To know that our Father has need of us that he loves us so much, he loves us so much. Glory be to you, Father. Oh, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory. My dear Father, he loves us so much to call us unto him, to draw us in, to spend intimate time with him up in the next 40 days. And so I'm excited. So there's no room for fear. There's no room for trepidation. There's no room for any of these spirits, laziness and drawbackness and all these walls that we normally put up, right? No defenses need to rise up against the Father. That's what fasting helps to pull down and to give us the strength, spiritual strength that we need to continue on. So I love it. We should seek the Father as to what that should be for us because our walks are individual. And he can let us know some people, you know, we do different concentrations into the Father. Whatever if it's a water fast, a juice fast a six a.m. to six p.m. fast, whatever it is, the most important thing. And this is when I was communing with the Father, I said, OK, Father, so how do you, he's already built to me how he wants me to walk this out. And, Beloved, you need to seek him for how he wants you to. And I'm not said, Father, how should I go about this? And one of the things he impressed upon me is consistency. Forty-day stretch, no breaks, no breaks, no reduced, no startovers. This isn't one of those things. We are determining in our heart. When I say this is not one of those things of like these little social media challenges, oh, you know, we go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is something that we are proposing in our heart and that we're going to do and be intentional every single day to take out time to come before him. And the Seekin minutes were a Father I was submitting to you. You know, if we have to just say that, you know, Father, here I am again, another day of submittal, unto you, Father, please guide me by your spirit. And that is what I pray that we will do every day for the next 40 days. We'll come together in submission to the Father and to hear what he is saying unto us and to walk this out together. So let's, let's gear up. Beloved, let's position our hearts, let's position our will, get everything in order. Go ahead and plan it out. What you're going to do. Ask him how he wants you to concentrate the method in which you are to concentrate rather unto him. And then go ahead and start planning out exactly what you're going to shut down so that you can maximize this time with him because when he calls us to something, it is huge. And it is a privilege and an honor because the Father doesn't deal with the wicked. He laughs at them knowing their division is near. So if he's calling his children, his righteous ones unto him, for a time such as this saying is submit unto me, submit to me, I'm calling you to a time of submittal. Your focus over the next 40 days is to submit, surrender your everything unto me, surrender whatever you're facing. I want you to surrender that whatever comes up during this next 40 day period, your call, your commission, your direction, your focus is surrendering it to me, surrendering it, surrendering it. You would normally respond this way. Your normal default is to do this, right? Your normal, whatever it is, you're going to pause over these next 40 days and say, ah, yes, Father, I'm on this challenge. You call me to this. I surrender this unto you. I surrender this unto you, Father. You will be done. I will please tell me what you have me to do. And my prayer is to walk and fooling complete obedience unto you with nothing missing, nothing like it, nothing broken. That's going to be our protocol. And every day, we'll stay reminded of that. So when we rise, we know we're in a time frame, a complete surrender unto the most time, which we're submitting everything to him. Surrendering it first, first, first, no matter what it is, no matter what comes up. And I do mean no matter what it is, work, school, obligations, the things that we have going on. If you have something already in the works, you have whatever it is. I don't want to start naming things, but no matter what you have going on, submit it. Surrendering unto him is a Father. What would you have me to do? How's it? During this time, do you want to tell me something? Concerned is? I surrender is unto you. I surrender my will to your will. In this matter, please speak unto me that what you will have me to do. And show me how to walk it out in straight, bow, willing, and consistent obedience unto you with nothing missing, nothing like it, nothing broken. So I hope I'm explaining this clearly. What our objective is during this 40 days. Consecrating unto him helps keep us focused. That's what I want to double back and say. When we-- the fast is for us, but I have it. There's so many teachings out there about so many things. But what the most I taught me about is fasting is for us. It is a principle and a protocol in which we can come boldly before the throne of the Most High, commanding his attention. When you fast, you are automatically pulling the Most High to you. You are pulling his attention to you. And what you will see throughout this 40 days, the whole entire spiritual realm becomes aware of your fasting. It's a very powerful move. It's a very powerful move when you enter into a fast and to appear to consecration, no matter what you're fasting about. And it is a direct message to the Father that you are completely surrendering unto him. For whatever reason it is that you are desiring to do that, whether you need healing, you need a hear word for him, you need him to move in an area. When you surrender and you come to him through a fast, you're pulling his attention. You pull him automatically. And when you are doing the acceptable fast, let me find that when you are doing the acceptable fast, the fast that he calls, he comes, he meets you right there. OK. And the action of us abstaining from food and all distractions and everything that is anti the Most High that will pull us away from him, that pulls our mind, pulls our energy, saps our soul and our spirit. We know what those things are. We know what they are. We need to shut all that down during this next 40 days. And I'm not saying we need to be hermit crabs and we can't work and we can't do it. We can't be around others. That is not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is all these things in which we don't really realize it saps our time and sucks the day clear away from us. And we know what those are. We're not fooling anyone. We're not going to lie to ourselves. No, no, no, we're going to be real and clear with ourselves and with the father. We're just going to shut out that kind of stuff down. So yeah, we'll be helpful to pull away from social media. We'll be helpful to stop watching TV shows and things like that. And it will be helpful to only listen to any teachings or any anything, you know, that exops the Most High. And that would you are seeking of him right now, which is to answer this call, to challenge yourself over the next 40 days, to surrender everything in your life to him because he's requiring us to do that. He's calling us to that. If you're listening, I would venture to say he's calling you to this Beloved, there's something he wants to get to you. There's something he wants to bring you through. There's something he wants to reveal. And he needs your total surrender. And so, so we're going to go over the acceptable consecration, the acceptable best until the Most High. We want to make sure that while we are set inside this time, that we are maximizing everything that we can so that we can receive that which the Father wants to release on to us. So it, it, it, it behooves us to re institute, like, remind ourselves, refresh ourselves on what an acceptable fast until the Most High is the fast that moves him to do that which we desire and to release onto that, that which he is trying to get us to. And to bring us through that which he wants to bring us through victoriously. OK, so the fast, it not only pulls him to us directly, drawn us right onto that secret place with him, but it also moves the heart of our Father when he sees our obedience and our determination to not just do it our way, but to do it in the way that he already predestined. He told our forefathers, OK, so I'm going to go ahead and read. I love to read the whole chapter of verse in which I'm standing on or I'm studying because a lot of the things that come before and after are just wonderful food for my soul and our souls alike. And it does me so, so it does my spirit so much joy to read it. OK, so I like to do that. So let's begin. Isaiah 58, I'm reading in the King James version, for it is written, cry aloud, spare not, lift up by voice like a trumpet and show my people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins. Yet they see me daily and delight to know my ways as a nation that did righteousness and for so not the ordinance of their Elimo, their Father, their Creator. They ask of me the ordinances of justice and they take the light and approaching unto me. I'm stopped right here. So he's pretty much saying, I want you to speak on this. OK, he's talking to prophet Isaiah, say this is Prophet, I say, is speaking and the Most High say I want you to speak up and I want you to talk to my people because they really want to know they want to hear from me. They're seeking me. And this is what the Most High say to us. I'm continuing at verse three. So the children, we are the children of the Most High was saying back then, where for have we fasted say they and they'll see it's not where for have we afflicted our soul and they'll take us no knowledge. Be whole in the day of your fast, the most I was saying, ye climb pleasure and exact all your labor stop right there. So we asked him, we fasted, but you don't see it. We sit in up here really suffering and you don't even notice father. And he taught us a towner. Yeah, when you do fast, you're doing what you want. You doing everything that brings you pleasure. What you mean? You're doing exactly what you're determining your heart to do, what you plan to do. That's what you're doing. You say you fasted in, but you're doing exactly what you want to do when you want to do it. Let's go on in verse four. Be whole ye fast for strife and debate. And to smite with the fist of wickedness, you shall not fast as you do this day to make your voice to be heard on high is it such a fast that I have chosen a day for a man to afflict his soul is it to bow down his head as a bull rush and to spread sack cloth and ashes under him. Without all this a fast and an acceptable day unto the Most High is not this the fast that I have chosen to lose the bands of wickedness and to undo the heavy burdens and to let the oppressed go free that ye break every yo is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry. Let me start right there. Listen to the Most high. He's speaking. He's speaking mighty Father. He said is not this the fast that I have chosen all these things here is what he has chosen you mean you all are going on this fast that I've chosen and which I told you to afflict your soul right to repent to be in a repentive state in which you are coming to me repenting of past sins. That's what you do when you get the sack cloth right when people were in sack cloth and ashes they were crying out to most type of forgiveness that is that posture that they were taking on that's what that meant and he said is this not the one the fact that I chosen to loosen the bands of wickedness off of your life and the heavy burdens to lift those off of you and to let the oppressed go free all the key to my darkness is out here pressing you but through the fast that I require to view this is what I said I was going to do I'm going to free those of you who are oppressed and break every yo right off your net your hands whatever yoke that the enemy has yoke you up with I will set you free you're talking about that fast he goes on to say in verse 7 it is not to deal thy bread excuse me is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house when thy sister naked that thou cover him and thou hide not thyself from thy own flesh stop right there mighty Father so he's saying you talking about the same fast in which I told you to see about those that are in need why you why are you fasting before me make sure you feed them get them so close that they need it bring them into your house give them something to eat now we use the wisdom of the most time but however it is there's so many different ways that we can do this and see about people and then not hide yourself from your flesh I've been guilty of that I thought coming up as a young adult and that's a even even the teenager I thought that fasting because I heard out of testimonies of people back in the day and how they said they laid out prostrate before the Lord three days of three nights and they didn't move I have read testimonies I read people's books that they written and I would always say I'm a wait to I could fast like that because I really want that experience I want to feel the presence I want to I want a visitation I always thought it required that until thank the Father he brings you into his truth and then there are those who are teaching his unadulterated truth and I learned okay that may be in their experience but that does not always have to be all of ours I don't have to get away somewhere I don't have to go and and lock myself in my room in fast three days and three nights don't see nobody I don't hear from nobody and what have you I don't have to do that if the Most High hasn't called me to that I don't have to go on the hotel or I used to always imagine oh I could just if I can go just stay one day you spend all day with the Most High whatever it looks like one of the beautiful ways all this brings me such joy to recall when I was a child the church that my family attended they would have all night prayer oh where her those days gone all night prayer so what does that look like for me as a child we took our pillows our blankets and some comfortable clothes and we my mother talked to us and gave us the rundown of how we were going to behave and what she expected and what was coming and we would come to the church around seven right sometimes it would be around eight nine ten whatever we would come between that time frame and it would be all night at the the old adults would be praying and praying and we would have our little activities that we would do and then when it came bedtime my mother gave us that knot and we knew good night we couldn't get no hugs then because she was in prayer and we knew to lay down to put our little blanket on put a layer head on our pillow we went to sleep we went to sleep hearing the saints praying wooh glory glory glory and when we woke up they were still praying and then it would commit at whatever time they chose which was you know in the day break sometime and then they were singing you knew it was coming to an end sometimes I would wake up and hear them singing oh my goodness oh my soul is just my heart is smiling I would hear them singing about brings tears to my eyes and then the pastor would come and he would give some words and all we were looking for was breakfast because we could smell it they would always serve breakfast oh my goodness is anybody else have memories like that but all night prayer doing it together and and I'm sure that those were those prayers that moved heaven we if people needed to be delivered he'll set free can you imagine coming together in a corporate prayer and and fasting now whole time because we didn't eat anything we didn't eat anything and my Mother had already told us we'll eat afterwards so that was about a few hours you know it seemed like a forever time when you're younger and just a beautiful time of that that's just another example of consecrating before the most time there's so many wonderful ways to surrender to him and the answer to call to come before him in obedience oh such a beautiful memory so it doesn't have to be where we have to shed everything down is what the father was was saying and what I'm gathering we just have the purpose in our heart and act and move in obedience and then doing so he said don't forget I told you see about those that are in need and I know why he said that so that the focus can be off of us me me me me me me me me me you know how we just this world consumes our every thought with this narcissistic self obsession of just us and everything we want what we do and what we go on after but in the process of going out even while we are yet afflicting ourselves yet are in a posture and in a focus in a concentration of seeking the father walking this out in obedience unto him we see about someone else those that are in need they're everywhere you know and he said let's continue he said then he said so if you do this like I already told you all then that light shall break forth as in the daybreak and I help shall spring forth speedily and I righteousness shall go before thee and the glory at the Most High shall be your reward then you shall call and the most high shall answer listen at what prophet Isaiah is saying at the Most High said thou shalt cry and he shall say here am I if I take away listen take away from the mystic the the the yoke they're putting forth at the finger and speak in vanity mmm let's stop right there the Most High is saying stop burdening each other down and I can see many many ways that that can happen through unjust judgment all these traditions of men what they did it is what they did it all of this ridiculousness is crazy ridiculous asinine so righteousness my goodness it's like a cancer pointing a finger at other people you know you we we I'm fast and so now let me let me see all these devils around me look at you oh my goodness you ain't right you should be fastened too and vanity oh my goodness there's a million ways that we could be so vain thinking highly of ourselves more than we should be in so vain that's to only be focused on what we want from the Most High rather than what he desires of us rather than doing what he's already told us to do did did we dare come on a fast and haven't already been walking in obedience did we dare come on a fast and haven't repented got ourselves together and repented unto him clearing out every and bargo every every hinders every blockage tearing down every wall that could separate us from our Father as we come in before him activating one of his principles his requirements of fasting seeking him it continues on in verse 10 if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul see about these folks around you who need help you at like you need so much but there's always others around you that need as well he's telling us see about them then show that light rise and obscurity and thy darkness be as the new day he said he's gonna change everything as wrong and make it right that's pretty much what that says but this is a very good chapter for us to dig into while we're on this 40 day challenge of surrendering everything to the father it'll be a good way to start out with with with our devotion you know that time you know whatever time that you set aside with it's 30 minutes an hour whatever the time is and making sure that you're aligning yourself with Isaiah 58 and then once you are then you move on okay father what next what next leave me what's the next thing are you coming you listening in on the podcast and he's spoken a word for that day then we meditate on that so Isaiah 58 is a very good chapter to start out any time with the Most High in consecration and meditating on and we thank him oh don't we thank him for telling prophet Isaiah this for just reiterating this to him to tell us to tell our forefathers thank you Father thank you for your words for they are life unto us and hell unto all our flesh so he goes on to say in verse 12 and they that shall be of these shall build the old ways places thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations and thou shalt be called the repair of the breach the restore of paths to dwell in oh glory if thou turn away thou foot from the south from doing thy pleasure on my set-apart day and call the Sabbath of the light the set-apart of the Most High honorable and shall honor him not doing thy own ways nor finding thy own pleasure nor speaking thy own words see oh that's wrapped up in the Sabbath a lot of us grew up thinking that okay at a Sabbath going to church and having a good time and then coming home and relax and doing or doing whatever else we want to do but not according to the father what do you say if that turn away that foot from the Sabbath from doing thy pleasure so don't don't don't be in these streets running around doing everything keep yourself set-apart from doing what you want to do on my day and call it a delight don't act like it's a burden no honey you know it's a sabbum I see you tomorrow I don't know what that looks like for us but we know don't we we know how we see the Sabbath it had an enemy may try to get us and press us and tempt us to go out and do other things that bring us pleasure and it calls us a lot ourselves to do it he said um don't do that don't even talk about what you want to talk about don't do your own pleasure don't do that but instead he said in verse 14 then shout thy delight thyself in the most time and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth and see thee with the heritage of Jacob the father for the mouth of the Most HIghhave spoken it so boom there you go what else is there wow the acceptable consecration the acceptable fast unto the Most High. Why wouldn't we implement it and activate it while we're answering the call of our father so I would encourage you beloved join in with me over these next 40 days let's challenge ourselves to answer this call of submitting and surrendering onto the Father and the way that we're going to start out doing that is consecrating unto him in the way that he requires so that we can hear what he wants to say it is it's nothing worse and I have been there and I have done this it is nothing worse than to answer the call of the most time to seek him and then and then you come into agreement and you fast only to get our track midway and to come out of that fast knowing you got nothing from that time the consecration or anything from the most time to know that it was completely a waste what a sad state of affairs and sometimes these things happen without us even realizing it and sometimes we just purpose in our heart to just I'm done I'm out you're over right after day one two or three or whatever it is you know oftentimes it's very popular to go within the new year to go on these fast in which we submit this new year until the Father and a lot of us don't make it through that fast a lot of people do 21 days sometimes 30 days seven days whatever it is we don't make it and it's truly because we haven't really purpose in our heart to do so and the very first challenge or the very first obstacle or the very first excuse or the very first temptation that comes we jump on it and we're like yes I'm done that's too hard I can't do this I'll wait till I can do it for real I've heard this excuse to well it didn't come natural I didn't want to do it anyway so I'll wait until I really want to do it and then I'll know I really do it mmm no most of the time that never happens and oftentimes when you really do want to do it it's almost when it's really too late who wants to wait until we're on a deathbed to see the Most High to answer his call oftentimes is too late not always but oftentimes no we are the remnant we are the set apart children of the Most High we know who we are but even more important we know who's we are and in learning about our Father we know it's so much better to obey him and to sit up here and offer up these sacrifices trying to cover ourselves to sit up here and and and trying to rally in a teen rally in you know calling the uh uh calling in the artillery calling in all these heavy hitters running to whomever wherever however to help us when it is so much more simpler that when the Most High calls upon us just as he's placed it on my heart and if you're listening and you feel that tugging your spirit then he's placing it on your heart and he is saying come I want you to come into this time of surrender I want you to surrender everything unto me there's something I want to get to you there's something I want to release to you there's something I want to bring you through there's something I want to reveal unto you and it's more than what the average or regular regular prayer time will release and prayerfully if the Most High if it be the Most High will we will look at closer at this 40 days so let's come together but love it um I set the challenge of the Most High and I look forward to joining you every day for the next 40 days as we come before the Father to hear what you have to say unto us and as we edify and encourage each other and lift each other up during this beautiful time of invitation from our creator our maker the ancient of days our Most High for there is no one above him come on one of my things I love to say they they want to be him but they okay oh my dear Father it is such a beautiful thing when the Father calls you unto himself and says come now come now into me 40 days set aside this time let's walk together I want to talk with you I want to reveal something to you I want to get something to you I want to bring you through what you're facing come so as I sung the song that dropped in my spirit when he spoke to me and said I'm calling you to surrender I want calling you to a time of surrender daughter and he says and I want you to walk this out with my Remnant with my Chosen Ones I said huh I said yes Father oh my gosh because that takes discipline it's discipline enough the challenge already exists enough to make sure that I purpose my heart and I and I already know the distractions that love to come my way and I already know I have a good idea on how the enemy loves to come up against me I have a good idea you know we some of us are new to this and that's okay but some of us we aren't new to this I like to say we're not new to this we true to this so we got an idea you already know okay all right Father okay got it and then he said I want you to share it with my remnant I said okay okay all right Father and then I kind of problem I said okay all right I want to you know my expectations of what that looks like started flooding my thoughts and my imagination and sometimes you know how many you know sometimes are some of the ways that the enemy will come in and tie you up and and and bring a nice little halt to that which the Most High has told you and so we are overcome in that today we are given the Most High our yes we're bringing everything in alignment we are getting out our paper a journal something that we can write down no matter where we are that we can carry with us throughout the day whether it it could be a recording you know you can use your phone and we use something drop the Most High drop something in your spirit pull out your recorder I don't know get your phone I record yourself and repeat what it is that he's telling you and this will help us during our time of meditation when we've gotten you know home when we've gotten everything done or whatnot and we've eaten whatever it is and we're now in our time whatever that looks like at the beginning of the day in the middle of the day was ended of the day but prayerfully more than once more than one time a day but whatever that looks like and we are meditating you can go back to what dropped in your spirit whatever during this time whatever songs come up out of our spirit sing it beloved sing it you know that is one of the ways that the Most High will minister things into your spirit and he will position you to hear from him and that he draws you further into his presence that he will spring out of your spirit rivers of living water and they come in the form of song he'll pull from your memory he'll pull what I find so interesting is sometimes he'll pull songs out of me that I shouldn't rightfully remember I'm like them songs of way before my time how do I know that and that's when I know oh this is you father and so I I I relax and I let those songs come straight out of my spirit and when I'm done singing sometimes my children are around or somebody is around they say wow you know what song is that I said oh that's bad for the day day or just anything some of us experience even prophetic songs meaning it's not a song that you ever heard and not even a song that's ever been made but you just got the words the metal the medallit the the rhythm the harmony all that all came to you oh that's something you should get your phone out and record and listen to it let it draw you right on in to the secret place of the Father these are just some of the examples of what will happen when we release our faith to obey the most time I'm excited I hope you are too let's get ourselves together and I will see you tomorrow for love it as we go on this beautiful beautiful it is so beautiful sometimes I if I think about too long I'll start I'll start crying because I know it's so special for the Father to call unto you say come come unto me I have something I want to share with you I have something I want to do with you and it is so impactful to where he says it's gonna change our entire life so no matter what he's going to do or reveal or bring us through or two or what have you our expectation should be life changing is that not exciting all right let's position ourselves to obey let's get everything in order and it doesn't have to be measurable of it don't over think it don't get bogged down just give the most higher yes go ahead and make a note and implement everything that you're going to shut down to help you focus to clear out all the distractions to clear out all the noise because you know 40 days can it goes by quickly I can tell you that it seems so daunting like oh my goodness 40 days how can I maintain that it is easy that time comes and goes so quick and once you position yourself to obey you will see that the laws of progression and different things of that nature will start to work for you and then when the most high seas you're very sincere and that you are determined right your spirit is willing but the flesh is weak he will annoy you just you and and and we'll be sure to do that as well you can do that even now asking for the anointing to be successful on this commitment of agreement and obedience that you are embarking on with him and he'll annoy you but love it it's one of the most amazing things you know that you would equip at a certain interval and you thought how did I make it past that how am I still on this consecration and I desire to spend time with him I would have dropped off a long time ago that is how you know he's anointed you for this yes he poured out his anointing when he looked down and he looked upon your heart and he saw that you had a truly determined within yourself you didn't face this and say oh okay we'll just see what happens you playing yourself but love you don't do that don't do that position yourself it's just a decision that's what it is and you say I'm gonna do this I'm gonna do this because I know I'm facing this or I know he brought me here to hear this so there's something that he wants to do so I'm gonna do this Father help me and you start moving in obedience and lining things up and shutting things down or deactivating or what have you rearranging your schedule right put it out cut some conversation say hey you know you know I don't know what what what what does that look like he will guide you and if you say oh my goodness when I'm about to be harassed ask him for ways in which you can feel these distractions and ask him for the give me your strategies I need your strategies for a success because I'm really proposing my heart here and I really want I need something for you I need my life to be changed whatever way that you are desiring to do that I want it Father please give me strategies that I can implement that I can I put into place so that I am not bombarded and attacked and taken down looking to my heart father purpose to do this and parry me please help me and he will come on and we'll be on the other side of the 40 days come with a new song with a new song over there in the promised land come on stop light me the pro because he if he's gonna change our life is for the better my teeth father and all good things come from him so I'm excited I'm excited to be walking in obedience to the Father and it is intriguing exciting to do it with you let's go Beloved so our plan of action is number one to search within ourselves and to say to give the most I true yes even if you don't feel it even if you may be scared or concerned or you're thinking well I have this issue I've got these medicines I've got this or this is coming up I got this huge like how am I going to feel this and do this and implement this and carry this out I don't quite see how I could be successful but I feel you drawing me Father by your mercy your grace I feel you and so Father help me I relinquish all that unto you I relinquish it unto you and I surrender I give you my complete yes and I surrender unto you for this next 40 days please tell me father what method and mold and type of consecration that you desire for me to do unto you I ask you to help me father to carry it out and any adverse effects that I felt in days past father asked you to keep them from me and even if my my body gets weak I ask you to strengthen my spirit and empower me to be able to continue on in this time of surrender unto you and no matter what comes my way for that trust you I trust you you say you'll never leave me nor forsake me even until the ends of the earth so I know over the next 40 days I am not alone I am not alone so I thank you guide my steps give me the courage to do that which I'm proposing in my heart and I thank you for changing my life for the better all right until next time now this now we seek him while he may be found and we are calling upon him while he is near all Most High and sovereign Father you who are the Most High from who all life flows thank you for the privilege and honor to walk in your life please guide me like only you can I come to you with my everything I submit my will to your will I was dead asleep but you were waking me to victoriously fight I was lost but you found me I was blind but now I see I was afraid but today I activate Most High in your name by your spirit and on your 30 please continue to correct me deliver me feel me feel me comfort me teach me equip me and send me I shall go forth and recover all let's go(dramatic music)[MUSIC PLAYING]
