Hot, Sweaty, and Spirit-Filled

Ever felt God's timing was so perfect it left you breathless? That's exactly what happened when my book launch for "Blessed Beginnings" coincided with Tisha B'Av—traditionally the saddest day in Jewish history when the temples were destroyed. Yet in that perfect divine orchestration, what was once a day of mourning became a celebration of how the Holy Spirit now dwells within us as living temples.

The spiritual atmosphere around us is charged with supernatural energy. At Christ Fellowship, 30,000 people received the Holy Spirit in a single day. Forrest Frank's worship music topped global charts while experiencing miraculous healing from a broken back. These aren't coincidences—they're signs of an unprecedented spiritual awakening happening right before our eyes.

Walking with God means experiencing His power in ways that defy natural explanation. Like Moses parting the Red Sea or Gideon defeating 20,000 soldiers with just 300 men, we're witnessing the impossible become possible when we partner with the Holy Spirit rather than striving in our own strength. This divine collaboration transforms every aspect of life—from protecting our homes by writing Scripture on doorframes to experiencing supernatural energy and clarity of purpose.

The gray middle ground is disappearing. Jesus welcomed sinners but confronted hypocrites, and we're seeing that same dynamic play out today as hidden things come to light. Revelation speaks directly to this moment: "I would that you are hot or cold, but because you are lukewarm, I will spew you out." It's time for authentic faith that aligns words with actions.

My upcoming book "Blessed Beginnings" shares biblical wisdom for pregnancy and parenthood that will transform how you approach these sacred seasons of life. It contains vital information that will arm you with God's perspective against conflicting worldly advice. Like writing Scripture throughout our home's construction, declaring God's truth over these formative seasons creates a foundation that cannot be shaken.

Join our community of believers igniting transformation together. Whether at our Spark business gatherings or spa days for spiritual refreshment, we're creating spaces where the Holy Spirit moves freely. The most exciting time in human history is now—will you be part of what God is doing?

Journaling in the Sauna

Speaker 1 0:02

Hello Facebook friends . I'm here in the sauna , it's 1041 PM and I was just journaling in my favorite Bible and I just had the idea , like , why don't you go live and just share what's been going on ? And uh , I was like , well , that's a great idea . Yeah , why else ? Why why not go live when you're hot and sweaty , right ? So , um , yeah , I was just journaling out . I guess I'll read what I wrote .

Speaker 1 0:33

It says um , daddy abba , you are showing off a big time for your daughters . I'm overwhelmed with your thoughtful love , provision and blessings . Love you with all my heart and soul , mind and strength . My best girlfriends are moving in my neighborhood Kara , brittany , even Christina , and now Allie possibly too . God , you are so good . Please also bring Sarah , Sarah and Monroe and also Stephanie .

Speaker 1 1:02

And this last Sunday , august 3rd , was the most beautiful celebration for my mom's 55th birthday and 20 years since her passing . Our Blessed Beginnings book is number one in new releases under breastfeeding , parenting and a few others . And that's where I stopped and that's when I picked up the phone to go live . Yeah , I just want to tell you what happened on Sunday . So it was my mom's 55th birthday in 20 years since she's passed and I had decided to do a book launch for the book blessed beginnings biblical wisdom during pregnancy and parenthood . And a fun fact that I found out an hour before the party started was that Sunday was let me get this right Tisha B'Av the ninth of Av .

Speaker 1 1:58

And when my father-in-law told me he wasn't going to the party because it was a very special holy day for the Jewish people , and he said it's Tisha B'Av the ninth of Av , I was like what does that mean ? And he said it is the saddest day in Jewish history . It is the day at 564 BC when the first temple was destroyed by the Babylonians , and same day in 70 AD after Jesus , that the second temple was destroyed by the Romans . It's also the day that Haman had his evil plot to wipe out the Jewish people in Esther's day . And it's also the same day that many terrible calamities , famines , persecutions happened for the Jewish people . And so I'm freaking out when he's telling me this , because I know that , as a believer in Christ , as a born again Christian , that literally the saddest day in Jewish history , when the temples were destroyed , has been redeemed through Jesus as a day of celebration when we can celebrate the Holy Spirit indwelling in us as the new temples , and I'm trying to tell this to him . He's totally not understanding because you know they see things differently than us , which is totally fine . But I'm freaking out because the day that we just so happened to have a party celebrating my mom , who lived with faith and joy despite all the terrible things that she went through and all the terrible things that took her out ultimately , and also on Sunday at Christ Fellowship , at all the campuses 30,000 people raised their hands asking for the Holy Spirit to indwell in their hearts and we talked about the Holy Spirit's power , the dunamis power . We talked about the repentance , that through repentance we receive the Holy Spirit , and we talked about the peace that surpasses all understanding through the Holy Spirit . So it just so happens . So I don't think that's much of a coincidence that we had a book launch on the most important day . I mean , it's just mind blowing .

Speaker 1 4:24

I am shook to my core with how good God is . I am . God is so good and I know y'all saw what happened with Forrest Frank . His music is not just number one on in Christian categories , his music is not just number one in Christian categories , his music is number one worldwide His song God's Got my Back and Lemonade are on the top charts and Lemonade is number one in the world . And he broke his back two weeks ago and at the Torren Wells concert , 5,000 people put their hand forward to bless Forrest Frank and to pray for God's immediate healing on his back . And the next day he got up fully healed and he had x-rays done and his broken back was made whole . Like this is the God we serve . This is the God that's doing miracles every day . This is the God that is pouring out his spirit and our old men are dreaming dreams and our young men are seeing visions and his spirit is being poured out on his sons and daughters that they prophesy .

Speaker 1 5:36

It is such an exciting time to be alive . Personally , I didn't understand what spiritual gifts were . I thought it was kind of like a hooky-cookie kind of thing and , like you know , there's an apostle , prophet , healer , teacher , shepherd , pastor , like all these different titles , and I was like I don't know , but , but , but the title prophetess , prophet had always like excited me . And , looking back on my life , I see times when I was a young child and a teenager and a young adult and things I would say came true . And in my adult years and even most recently , multiple things that I'm saying and speaking and declaring are coming true . So it is such an exciting time to be alive and to open my mouth and speak , because it's not me that's speaking . All I'm doing is reciting Bible over people and it is so exciting to be a part of this movement .

Speaker 1 6:44

It is the most exciting time in human history to be alive , because we are ushering in the second coming of Jesus , ushering in the thousand year reign . I don't think it gets more exciting than that . It does not get more exciting than that . This is big . Even Jesus said it's good that I go away so that the helper , the paraclete , the Holy Spirit , comes to you . So Jesus said the Holy Spirit is better than his presence and with the Holy Spirit he'll teach us to speak God's words , he will teach us to declare the promises of God and we can heal , we can inspire , uplift , we can cast out demons , we can touch flaming serpents and they won't bite us .

Speaker 1 7:38

Talking about serpents and snakes , when I was doing the walkthrough of the farm that we did our book launch at on Sunday so last week , wednesday as we were walking the farm and there was this giant , poisonous , dangerous snake right there on the ground and we got startled and I'm like that already killed it . And then we went up to it and it was dead . That was cool . And then two days ago , when I was at the trail system that they're making in our neighborhood , I went on the trail where it has this beautiful bridge over water and it has coral rock all around and it's gorgeous . And then there's this ginormous 200 yard boardwalk that leads into five miles of interlocking trails . It's absolutely stunning . So the other night I went out there and I was just overwhelmed by God's favor and blessings and my phone had died . I left it on the ground and I was running down that boardwalk over all the beautiful nature and just singing my heart out to God , making up random songs and just singing and dancing .

Speaker 1 8:59

And on my way back to the car there was a snake on my path and it was alive and I was like great , and I was barefoot . I'm like okay , so I start just declaring God's promises that you know I've already , we've already crushed the serpent's head , that you have nothing on me . Like God's got this , like you better get out of the way , move . And then I started picking up rocks and just envisioning , like you know , king David slaying Goliath . So I started throwing rocks at it and , um , just declaring God's promises , and the little sucker slowed away . So then I was like , yeah , you go . And then I started walking a bit more and this giant rustling in the bushes happened , and I don't know if it's a boar or what , but I was so funny . What's the most funny is that I'm videotaping , um , I'm

Book Launch on Tisha B'Av

Speaker 1 9:55

videotaping the snake snake slithering away and then , like the bushes rustle and I like jumped out of my skin and I start sprinting . I'm like I'm sprinting back to the car and it's so funny . And , um , the car , and it's so funny . And I got back safe and everything . But I'm like , yeah , I shouldn't like be barefoot in like the wilderness probably . But you would think I learned my lesson .

Speaker 1 10:21

But literally last night I decided to take the most random walk in the middle of . In the middle of because , remember , the land that we let now live on is 4 000 acres 4 000 acres . So our little village so far is like 100 homes and outside of the village is still , you know , 4 000 acres . So I went exploring because I want to see where the development will be down the road . So I go down this one grassy road and then this gorgeous lake is there . And then I start walking down the lake and there's all these little canals everywhere . So I see this trailer and these other land clearing devices and , um , I'm trying to get back home at this point , but the sun is going down quick and my phone is dead and you see a theme with the phone thing . I need to stop going out in the wilderness with a dead phone , like it's not okay .

Speaker 1 11:27

And um , it got difficult because all the canals were blocking my road to get back home . So I'm here how home is ? Like , way over here there's all these canals , so it's hard to like weave when you really can't see the big picture . And , um , at one point I crossed a canal , balancing on this like pipe , and I tried to take a shortcut to like get closer to home . But then there's more canals and it got to a point where I'm just like God , you have to help me . Like I can't see . I don't know if there's snakes out here . I'm in open-toed sandals and I'm just crying out to God . At this point I'm sprinting because the sun is gone and I am knee deep in grass , grassy stuff , and um , it's hard to go through because there's either a canal or tons of bushes . And um , thank the lord that he saved me

The Holy Spirit's Power

Speaker 1 12:28

because I finally got around one of the canals and then it opened up to the more developed land for where they're building new homes and I was able to walk through some of the construction sites back home .

Speaker 1 12:44

But that was crazy . Y'all Like I need a flashlight , I need closed-toed shoes and I need a battery on my phone and I need my flashlight , I need closed-toed shoes and I need a battery on my phone and I need my golf cart , because , honestly , doing that by myself it's not okay without some help . So I was thinking about what Pastor Todd said on Sunday , where he was talking about his little rowboat and how he was going , going , going for 30 minutes and only got like a few yards . And then when the big yacht came over and said , hey , you need some help , and he's like , yeah , so they got in the yacht and , um , you know , high speed right to his destination .

Speaker 1 13:25

And it just shows the difference between working on our efforts and working with Holy Spirit , god's efforts , and that on our own we can only accomplish so much . But when we're working in partnership with God , we can accomplish everything . We can accomplish the sea splitting in half and walking on dry land in half and walking on dry land . We can accomplish a 100-year-old Abraham and a 90-year-old Sarah getting pregnant , despite the laws of physics . We can overcome being in a lion's den and having the lion's mouth shut . We can overcome bringing down a city just by shouting our voices and walking around it seven times , like Jericho walls falling down with Joshua's men and their voices . We can accomplish , like Gideon , overcoming a army of 20,000 soldiers with only 300 men and like no swords but just like lanterns and horns . I mean , it's just incredible what we can accomplish with God's help . It's just absolutely mind-blowing .

Speaker 1 14:40

I mean , ever since we moved in here , I've physically been feeling like I'm on fire . I don't even need normal amounts of sleep anymore . I don't even need normal amounts of sleep anymore and my energy is more energizing than any teenager or young adult or I don't know anyone with more energy than I have . To be honest with you , and I have a lot of energy right now , and it's been months like this and I don't feel fatigued . In fact , I spend a lot of time at the spa I have a membership at this amazing spa and I'm always resting .

Speaker 1 15:18

But in fact we had a ladies spa day about two weeks ago and 17 ladies were there and it felt like we were with Queen Esther getting all pampered were there and it felt like we were with Queen Esther getting all pampered , getting facials , massages , and we were in the salt room and the massage chair and the infrared bed and the hydro massage bed and the cold plunge and the sun deck and we were all getting pampered . And guess what ? That was free . We tipped them , but I have such a good relationship with them that they love me hosting parties there , and our next one is August 20th . So you guys watching are invited . If you'd like to come , please let me know , because it's limited spots . I only had 10 spots this time . 17 was a lot for them , but 10 spots , 10 spots .

Speaker 1 16:16

And then that night , after the Levy Spa day , we did Spark at our house , and Spark is a collaboration of Christians on fire for God in the business world . So we had people from all different walks of life , all different businesses , and our little sparks by themselves are one thing , but when we bring the sparks together , we form this fire that transforms the world for God . So the next one will be August 20th as well . So we have the spa during the day and the spark at night , and if you'd like to be part of either one or both , just let me know . And then , of course , we have home church once a month .

Speaker 1 16:49

The last home church we did was just incredible . We anointed every area of the house , everyone prayed over the home , we blessed the home and while this home was being built , we buried a Bible in the foundation . It was our , it was our wedding Bible that we buried and it's literally underneath the threshold of the front door and our builder , not knowing that we buried it right there , he stamped a cross in the foundation when they poured the flooring right above where the Bible was buried . So that was such a flex from God . And then , after they put up the framing , I personally took four hours and I came with both kids

Encounters with Snakes

Speaker 1 17:40

and Gideon was in my arms the whole time and Genesee was in the car the whole time on her tablet , which I can't believe . She didn't fall asleep and I wrote 150 Bible verses on every single window , every single doorframe , and I used my book Blessed Life Ever Biblical Affirmations for Victorious Living , which is 848 of the best Bible verses , rewritten in first person .

Speaker 1 18:07

So it's an incredible way to declare God's promises of your life . So , for example , the verse trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not upon your own understanding . It's rewritten to say I trust in the Lord with all my heart and I lean not upon my own understanding . In all of my ways I acknowledge him and he directs my paths . And my other favorite verse , joshua 1.9 , where it says trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not upon your own understanding . It says I trust in the Lord with all my heart and I lean not upon my own understanding . In all my ways I acknowledge him and he directs my paths . So the whole book is like that .

Speaker 1 18:40

And obviously there's a reason why Psalm 23 is everyone's fave , because it's written in first person . The Lord is my shepherd . I shall not want . He leads me beside the still waters . He restores my soul . He leads me in the paths of righteousness . For his name's sake , either I walk through the valley , the shadow of death . I shall fear no evil , for thou art with me , thy rod and thy staff . They come for me . Thy repairs the table before me in the presence of my enemies . Thou anointest my head with oil . My cup overflows . Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever . Amen .

Speaker 1 19:15

Like there's a reason why that's popular , and my thesis is that the Hebrew Bible is written in Hebrew and Hebrew doesn't have the normal punctuations and vowels and all that stuff that we have . My take is that there's a lot more in the Bible that's written in first person , but just how we have it translated in our Bibles like that original meaning is lost . So I believe that by declaring it over your life , you're recapturing the original meaning . So there's that . And let me tell you about Blessed Beginnings .

Speaker 1 20:01

That book has been in my heart for the last two years at least , after Genesee came out and when I was pregnant with Gideon . I just knew that I'm going to be publishing a book on pregnancy and parenthood and obviously I don't have a lot of insight on how to raise teenagers . Why ? Because I don't have teenagers . But I will tell you what I know how to raise three-year-olds , two-year-olds , one-year-olds and being pregnant . I'm freaking good at it and I can't wait to share the wisdom that God has given me through this book , and there's certain things that if you knew ahead of time , your pregnancy and delivery and early parent years would look a whole lot different . So this information is information that I probably will get in trouble with with like government and the USDA or whoever and all those people . But who cares ? I don't care . What do you want to do . You can't stop me from making the truth known . It doesn't matter . So I'm excited it's going to be out by my 33rd birthday , my Jesus year , which is September 21st . So the party we had on Sunday was the launch . So that book is on Amazon for $7 for your pre-order for the Kindle edition and then by my birthday , september 21st , it will be hard copy . So I'm so excited to get that out in the world because it is life-changing . You can give it to every pregnant lady , you can give it to the mom who has littles , who has more on the way , you can give it as whatever . But it's vital information that if you have this information , you will be armed and dangerous to the devil big pharma government , your eyes will be opened and you'll actually see things the way God sees them when it comes to parenting . So I'm excited for that . And what else can I share ?

Speaker 1 21:58

I guess now's a good time to talk about hypocrisy . You know it's funny because Jesus didn't have an issue with the sinners , the adulterers , the tax collectors . He welcomed all of those people in his presence . The people he had issues with were the religious of the day , the fake Christians , the hypocrites . Hypocrites are just someone who says one thing and then does another , and that's not cool with God , because God is one that says something and does it Like it's one and the same , but hypocrites say something and then do something opposite . So I know , so I know hypocrites I mean I was one at one point before being totally surrendered and there's still areas of my life where I'm still dealing with hypocrisy . That is a thing we will all deal with as long as we're alive . But when it comes to fake Christians and those Christians who say one thing and do another , or that are gossiping say one thing and do another or that are gossiping and there's a difference between gossiping for the sake of gossiping and talking about a situation that needs to be addressed and also talking about a situation that needs prayer over .

Speaker 1 23:42

And the hypocrites are on the rise , like right now there is two camps there's the camp of the light and there's the camp of the dark . There's a camp of the sheep and a camp of the goats . There's a camp of those for God and those that are not for God , and it's clear . There's no more gray area . There might've been gray area in the past , but right now there's none . Like you're on one side or the other , and it's so interesting and so , oh man , like with that guy that just got caught at that Coldplay concert , you know , hit , that cheating asshole . Like God is about to expose every hypocrite , every hypocrite Like you're going to see more of that , and it's so

Working with God vs Alone

Speaker 1 24:33

freeing to see it happen . I have a funny story . So there's a hypocrite that I know . Now this person might claim to be born again , filled with the spirit , and God bless them . They're on their own journey .

Speaker 1 24:51

So two nights ago , two nights ago , I was listening to this person's audio . I'll just say that I want to protect who they are , so I really don't want to reveal it . So they put out this audio and it was really good about a certain part of the Bible . I really enjoyed it . And then , as I'm listening at 4 am , I suddenly realized that they're talking about me in a very negative connotation . They said that we went to this event together where the Holy Spirit was being put on people , that the preacher was going over and laying hands and like pushing people down , and the way they described me was so like disrespectful and so like putting me down , and it was so funny .

Speaker 1 25:52

And then , next sentence , this person talks about this other mutual friend we have in the most glowing terms and what's funny about it is that . And what's funny about it is that I'm the one that is doing the hard work and following God and reading the Bible and praying and doing all the things , whereas this person that they talked about in glowing terms is doing the opposite . This person is getting in the way of miracles to take place and talking bad about all the things that God is doing and standing in the way of other people's blessings . So I confronted this person about this the next morning and I said , yeah , it was really interesting how you described me . And then you described our other friend and you gave me a really good idea , because I didn't know how to talk about certain things , but because of how you described the situation with by saying , that person . I can talk about certain things and use that same term that person . So I hope that person watches this and realizes what a hypocrite that is Hypocrisy . So that person needs to repent on many things , on many levels , on so many levels . This person has been such a thorn in my side since the day I met them and there's so many things for this person to repent for . And I hope this person does , because the time for being a hypocrite is far over .

Speaker 1 27:42

Okay , so back to positive things . Okay , so back to positive things . You know it's hard to be salty sometimes , but other times it's really easy to be salty .

Spark Community and Home Church

Speaker 1 28:02

But the Bible says , you know , be salty , stay lit , let your light shine . And for seven years I've been a pushover , like when people say things to me or they . You know , I've let too many things slide , to be honest with you , and I just couldn't stand up for myself for the longest time and I allowed things to be said to me that were not appropriate and that I should have stood up for myself . So now I'm taking a stand and I'm realizing that , no , I don't have to be pushed over . Like you know , cinderella with the evil stepsisters , like that's not okay , like Cinderella was all sweet and cute to them , but it comes a moment when the princess meets the king and the prince and she goes on and doesn't look back and that's where I met and the prince . And she goes on and doesn't look back . And that's where I met . And I hope these people see the light in the error of their ways .

Speaker 1 29:03

Okay , so today I went with my mother-in-law , who's my bestie , and we went to the Association of Christian Businesswomen Luncheon and the lady Claire that was speaking is literally on fire with the Holy Spirit . She has gone through hell and back and she openly shares her story and she talks about the things that she's been through in the book Reconstructed Women Blueprints for a Beautiful Life by Claire Davey . Book Reconstructed Women Blueprints for a Beautiful Life by Claire Davy . She talks about growing up in the occult and being raped and sexually manipulated and she was a part of sacrifices where they killed things in front of her . She's been raped in the White House . This girl has been hell and back and I admire her so much and I went to a gathering at her house and she shared the deepest , darkest , most disgusting things . But God turns beauty from the ashes and as a phoenix , she rises , and all women who've gone to hell and back , they rise too .

Speaker 1 30:04

Personally , as you know , my mom took her life when I was 13 years old and she didn't do that just out of nowhere . The broken beginnings , her family life sucked . She's been through the worst of the worst . Her dad left her mom when she was 13 for this younger , hotter , more business savvy woman who's a witch , by the way and she watched her mom just give up on life and just cry every day . And then she watched her brother , my uncle , who I prophesied when he would die and he did die , by the way , and he was really into drugs and alcohol and sexualizing women . And then my poor aunt died when I was one years old from bulimia , anorexia , throwing up in my grandma's toilet . And then my mom married a hypocrite at a young age who was a false prophet and he would say all these things that were not true and we'd get her to believe it , and me and my brothers , and it was hard to live with him after my mom died .

Speaker 1 31:09

And , um , now reading the bible and seeing that jesus warns us about false prophets and he said they come to you in sheep's clothing , but out inwardly . They are ravening wolves by their fruits . You will know them . So when I look at my dad's fruit and everything he touches turns to poop . My two poor brothers are in such bad mindsets .

Speaker 1 31:38

I'm impressed that

Blessed Beginnings Book Reveal

Speaker 1 31:40

I came out the way I did , but guess what ? It wasn't without a lot of inner work , inner healing , prayers up the wazoo , anointing fellowship . I've done everything . I don't know what else there is to do because I've done it all . Weekly prayer calls like I'm doing the work , reading the whole Bible every single day , praying multiple times a day , seeking God , fasting everything . My brothers haven't done that . They're not seeking God .

Speaker 1 32:04

And there's a reason why my dad's fruit is just awful . I mean , I have a half brother and half sister in California and my dad does not pay child support to them . Like it's awful and all my life I'm told to keep that hush , hush , secret , secret . But guess what ? What is in the dark comes to the light and there's no place for false prophets and hypocrites to hide anymore . And I pray for him every day and he's got to change his ways because judgment day is around the corner and there's no hiding . So Jesus says in the book of Revelation he says I would that you are hot or cold , but because you are lukewarm , I will spew you out of my mouth .

Speaker 1 32:58

Jesus says in the book of Revelation . He says that thou mayest be made rich and that you anoint thy eyes with eyesalve that thou mayest see , and to clothe thyself in white garments that the shame of thy nakedness be not exposed . Such as I love , I rebuke and chastise . Be repentant , therefore , and repent . So let me pray . Father God , thank you for listening , thank you for always listening , thank you for being a good father . I just pray for whoever's watching this right now that the spirit of hypocrisy is lifted from them , that the spirit of anger is lifted from them , that this , that the darkness and heaviness , anxiety and depression and suicidal thoughts are lifted from them . That the spirit of god comes upon them , that your presence dwell within them . That the joy of the lord is their strength , that their weeping be turned into dancing . May everything they put their hand to prosper in Jesus' name , by the blood of the Lamb and word of our testimony . In their names we've written the book of life of the Lamb . Receive the Holy Spirit , amen . Thanks for watching .
