“Next Level” - The Series S5, E1
Feeling stretched thin but somehow called higher anyway? This conversation meets you right at that tension point—where elevation collides with resistance—and offers a grounded path forward. We speak directly to the person carrying more than usual, managing strain from multiple angles, and wondering if the weight signals failure. It doesn’t. The pressure is a signpost, not a stop sign, and the energy you need can be renewed.
We unpack how elevation changes your vantage point and why that matters for decisions, relationships, and daily focus. Instead of fixating on what broke out this week, we look for the open door that’s already swung wide. You’ll hear a clear charge toward sustainable strength—stamina that doesn’t rely on hype—and learn how wise choices protect your capacity for the long run. We explore redeemed time and restored hope, reframing delays as ingredients for discernment and courage. Along the way, we get practical about pruning commitments, setting boundaries, and moving with poise: calm, consistent, and ready.
If you’ve felt unsteady, we speak balance over your steps and clarity over your next move. Expect language that lifts your vision: higher heights, clearer sightlines, and an unobstructed path to what’s been promised. By the end, you’ll have a renewed sense of drive and a reminder that you’re not abandoned in the pressure—you’re being strengthened for the next level.

SPEAKER_00:Good evening, everyone. Thank you for tuning in. Um, are you in need of energy? Are you in need of energy? And you know, this is for those who have really tapped in to this season, to this, to this, you know, move of God that's been taking place, that is taking place. Um, those who have tapped in, you know, God has elevated and sending higher. He's he's elevated them, taking them to the next level, taking us to the next level, taking us to the next level spiritually, taking us to the next level, you know, uh increase uh of wisdom, increase of uh greater spiritual discernment, right? The next level is a higher level. And with that being said, you know, things happen. Things happen as we are being elevated, as we are being taken higher by God. When God is moving in our lives, you know, stuff breaks out, stuff breaks out, you know, uh kids start acting up, spouses start acting up, you know, things start transpiring on the jobs. There is always something that takes place to try to distract, you know, uh uh the people of God, if you will, from you know, from uh being excited about the move of God that's taking place in our lives. I like to say, you we know that we're close to our breakthrough. We know that we're close to our miracle. How? Because the devil always throws a cat from he always exposes himself that we are at the brink of a breakthrough, that we are at the brink of a miracle. We're at the brink of God doing what he has promised us that he will do. And with that being said, because there is the next level in your life, you may be at a point on this evening as you're tuned into this podcast that you need a little bit more energy. You need just a little bit more strength because of the things that have been taking place in your life. And I know for me, each time that I've gone from uh uh from one level to a next, it's always been something so, you know, so devastating, something that has really, you know, got my attention that really tried to distract me and keep me from being encouraged about what God was getting ready to do in my life. And I needed to really tune in and look within and just draw that strength, that strength that was already on the inside of me because God graced me for what it was that I was enduring, but the devil wanted me to be so distracted and so consumed behind it, to where you know God had to just get me by myself and get my attention. Like, you know what? I know that you're going through this, but you're going through this because of where I'm taking you. It is necessary, and that may be you on this evening where you just need that strength, you need that strength for where God is taking you because of what is taking place in your life right now. Well, let us encourage you on this evening. There is definitely a word that is for you that God is going to grace you with the energy needed for your next level. There's a word that none other than Dr. Lydia Michelle Young God used her this past Sunday to bring forth for the Sunday morning flame service, and it is speaking about the energy for the next level.
SPEAKER_02:I've been feeling and sensing a pressure that many are experiencing. Pressures, the pressures of life. Some of you are under a lot of strain. You have a lot on your plate, you are at your limit, uh experiencing trouble from multiple directions. According to 2 Corinthians 4.8, the pressure that you're experiencing will not break you. It will not destroy you. You will not be crushed. Uh, God will not abandon you. I want to say that, encourage you. I want to encourage you. I need to repeat this word according to 2 Corinthians 4.8. The pressure that you're feeling, it won't break you. Uh, it will not destroy you. You will not be crushed. God will not abandon you. Uh, in this Sunday morning flame session, I have a revelatorial word, a prophetic utterance uh to speak to your energy, that you would move uh with resilience and perseverance, that you would have drive and determination to keep going despite difficulties. Keep going. I speak strength to you, stamina, steadfastness, and a staying power, divine energy. Uh, this energy, this energy is pertinent to your next move, it's necessary for your next step, it's essential to the next phase, the next level in your life. Levels, unlimited, levels, immeasurable, my God. And I heard this word for you. I heard this word for you. The sky is the limit, it's not out of your reach, it's not that far off. You can have it, you can do it, you can get it. Uh, take it, get it, do it. You owe it to yourself, my God, to pursue what God has for you. You may feel, my lord, and I I hear this, you may feel tired, but I speak divine energy. Some of you, many of you are feeling tired, exhausted, but I speak divine energy, energy to make progress, energy to proceed, energy uh to go forth, to gain ground with vigor and vitality. I speak that in your life, and you've got to know this. Uh, Deuteronomy 28, 6. Deuteronomy 28, uh 6. You're going out and you're coming in is blessed. Oh my god, you're going out and you're coming in is blessed. God's favor and protection are with you all the days of your life. Constant care, uninterrupted, 24-7. And God is enabling you to step out and step in. I see you stepping out of a dead situation. I see you stepping out of old dilemmas, stepping out of an undesired and unwanted circumstance, and stepping into something new, something different, something fresh, something great, something amazing. Because what God has for you is truly, truly amazing. I see a new phase, a new, a new level of the climate in your life is shifting. The climate, oh my God, in your life is shifting. New heights, new measures. Somebody ought to open up your mouth and declare new. New, new, new. Say it again, new. Hallelujah. The higher you go, the better you will see. God is taking you higher. He's lifting you, he's elevating you. There's an elevation on your life. The higher you climb, the better the view. The higher you get, the further you can see. Higher heights. Say that with me. Higher heights, higher levels of insight, higher levels of understanding. Oh my God, more opportunity. I see it's opening up for you. And many have been waiting for a door, waiting for a door to open, but be encouraged. The door is already open. Move forward. Step in, my God, to that door that God has opened for you. My God, you will see that God is doing a new thing. Unobstructed view is what God is doing for you. Clear vision is what God is doing in your life. Every barrier, oh my God, will be unblocked and unlocked. Every barrier, my God, that that seems insurmountable will be unblocked and unlocked. A fresh start. A fresh start. A fresh start.
