SPEAKER_00 0:04

Welcome to Lambs and Company, a podcast about life. We will feature guests and friends on the podcast to have quality conversations and wonderful fellowship. We hope you will join us. It's a life worth living, and it's a life worth giving.

SPEAKER_02 0:24

Welcome to another Lambs and Company. Remember, a life worth living is a life worth giving. We want to welcome you back. We're so excited today about having our uh our friends, our family, and our guest, Dr. J and Linda LaRue. Uh, they've been a part of my life and a part of this ministry. Uh they've been a part of my life before this ministry's existence 39 years ago, but they've been a part of this uh ministry the entire 39 years. We just celebrated our 39th uh year as far as a ministry and conception. But I want to jump right into our time together. Um Linda and I are here and we're gonna be supportive, but really want to hear want to hear about uh I think a vision that uh the Lord had given Dr. J, I think in 2024.

SPEAKER_03 1:21

Right.

SPEAKER_02 1:21

And so uh we we'd really like to hear about that, especially if it applies to where we are as far as the body of Christ, as far as local congregations, local ministries, and and how does that fit into this time period? Because a lot of people, you know, a lot of people are not maybe familiar with the fact that God can give visions and give dreams, but that was one of the things that was given in the book of Acts in chapter two that came from the book of Joel, and how that all fit, you know, into our current events and modern day ministry and time, I think, for the body of Christ. And if we've ever needed clear words, if we've ever needed clear vision, clear understanding of these things, I think it's right now moving forward, because I believe our greatest days are before us. I don't think they're behind us, I think they're before us. And we need to be preparing for that, thinking like that, and even declaring and speaking these things. So would you share with us?

SPEAKER_03 2:23

Yeah, and you know, and I think that yeah, in addition, this is my baby. Yeah, Linda. Yeah, she's gonna add to this. She wasn't with me at this point, though. Linda, welcome, Linda. Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 2:32

It's great to great to be here. Yeah, well enjoy it. We love you. Oh, and you know, you can go back to our earlier earlier podcasts, they were uh they were someone of our first guests. I think the second guest that we ever had as far as the ministry goes, but uh you can go back and actually listen to the dialogue and things there that were really good on prophetic ministry.

SPEAKER_03 2:54

And I think you've been I heard the ones with Dr. Hall have been great too. Yeah, yeah, so I think it's wonderful.

SPEAKER_02 2:59

Yeah. Well go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 3:00

Yeah, so I appreciate it. I mean, I I agree with you. I think we're living in the greatest time period of the restoration of our God's ultimate tension. And at a time period like this, there's always uh enlarging of the prophetic voice out of the prophetic writings. So I'm anticipating the books that we love, the books that we know, or maybe some things that weren't clear then or we didn't see then, uh, or the law the Lord arousing them in us and in the written word. So and we love that anyway, but we're anticipating that. Um, and so it was I was in a church in Baltimore uh in September of 2024. Uh great, great guy, great church, downtown Baltimore. Uh Sunday morning, uh worship service began. Uh just enjoying me. It was a great weekend. They always have a coming back to church weekend. Um, and I'm there usually every year. Um Lyndon, you haven't been to the church yet, but you know, I was there once. Once with me. Once. Yeah, really, really great great people. And um uh so which is not what's happened to me before is I was right at the meeting, I kind of like left myself. I I didn't leave the room, but I immediately was uh off the coastline of the of our east coast, probably off of the South Carolina area, right around North Carolina, South Carolina border, because I know the East Coast so well. So I was just I was out there looking down at the East Coast, and again, much like the Zika being from never leaving the eldership, but kind of being moved over there. So it's not the first time, so I wasn't surprised. But so I was just so I was looking down at it, um, and what began to happen was a wind began to blow, uh, really from the farthest part that I could see, which would, which I'm knowing it would probably be Prince Edward Island, upper part of Canada, upper Prince Edward Island, upper part of Canada, down all the way to the Keys. And and so I just I was just watching and it began to blow. And for me, like you would, um, I need to have some kind of text for that. So immediately I I thought it what came to me immediately was Ezekiel's dry valley, the valley of the dry bones, where the wind started to blow, and then he begins to prophesy to the winds. I mean, it's a fantastic moment. But I understood as I was watching it that that was that type of wind where this was not going to be so much for the the world or the United States, but really was for the church. And of course, the condition of the of the children of Israel in that valley is obviously they're crying out how dry they are. Uh they're divided, separated, and um, and so it really and it really began to be really, really slow, and I just watched it and I was listening, you know, not he wasn't really saying anything, but I was understanding, I mean, with us, it's this way, I was understanding what I was seeing as a vocal to me. And so I was just running through that that whole um incident with the dry bones, and then as the wind began to move, um fire began to uh to influx it, it to kind of be engaged in it. So it was wind and fire, and at that time we were dealing with with um fires in California. Yeah, you remember? So um I thought about that immediately, but then of course the biblical perspective for me was Elijah and Mont Carmel, of course. And that the whole purpose of that fire was to bring the people of God to a place of decision making who would they serve, the Lord or Baal. And of course, they were at a halting place. And so the fire just began. So I was concerned with the watching it as I was watching it. This was probably about 20 minutes, 25 minutes like that. As the fire began to move, I realized that this was going to move from the east to the west. No timetable. I didn't ask, but there was no timetable with it. Um but I but I but I really began to understand what the Lord was about to do um across the East Coast, and obviously other things were I was sensing uh, you know, as the lightning came from east to the west, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be all these different things. Plus, I've been I felt like that year I began sharing out of the out of Elijah's life, you know, the four moments of his life, and of course the spirit of Elijah, which you and I've talked about as a forerunning spirit to his coming and his appearing. All these things began to take place there. Yeah, so I was super encouraged um that it had begun here. I tried to kind of figure out when I went home, I kind of did miles to think where the center point was. And it probably would be right in that Virginia area, maybe northern Virginia, is about the middle, but it was equal across from from the from the coast of the flood the Keys, all the up through the New England states, Maine, and up into Canada, equally going across the uh the the North Continent, North North Continent, you know, the upper continent, the United States.

SPEAKER_02 7:52

So uh the um the impact of that, what are did you uh see anything as far as concerning the the effects of that? And you think this is primarily for the body of Christ?

SPEAKER_03 8:05

Yeah, because of the two the the two wins, I mean, if it was if it was uh uh something different, um it was if it was out of Joel's book, if it was something it had to do with Joel, uh that would be different. You know, because there was but but there was a win then too. Uh but it really wasn't that. It was really the first thing that came to me was out of all the possible 13 winds, was Ezekiel's Valley. And um the cry of the people of God and the divide amongst us and the uh the separation among us. And I I really loved it's the four winds blowing, which is really, really key. That that number is is is amazing for the Lord's intervention in the affairs of men. You know, I believe he's got to do something with us before he does anything out in the world for sure. And uh that's what I was thinking. The result, of course, would affect the world, but it was definitely both, I feel like, um is for us.

SPEAKER_02 9:06

Yeah, we we both all of us had a mutual friend and a mentor and the Lord Rick Howard. And he said, you know, because he lived in California, people always every time something happened, you know, every time there was a fire, every time there was a flood, you know, pee people were saying that's a judgment, you know, as far as against California. And you know, Rick said, well, it could be, but he said, But what people oftentimes as the body of Christ forget is what Peter said that judgment always begins first at the house of God.

SPEAKER_03 9:41

Right.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

And he said, you know, it's amazing to me how people are quick to call for judgment, but they forget it's got to come through the church to get there.

SPEAKER_03 9:48

Right.

SPEAKER_02 9:49

And you know, we we need to be uh we need to be better stewards of our words and and our thinking and even our communication sometimes when we're talking those things. Not that that couldn't be a reality, but I think it's got to come through us. But going back to the winds that you're you know you're you were seeing and the effects of that, I'm I'm thinking of both, you know, Joel and thinking of both Ezekiel, but with the you know, with that wind, that wind brought a a re a regeneration. It brought a reconnecting, it brought a a reviving and a resurrection of sorts that began to happen. And you know, it reversed the G-generation, and I think caused it to be a regeneration. And I've been thinking about, I've been thinking a lot about the fact that while a lot of people see hot spots and they're exciting, there's gotta be much, much, much, much more happening with the body of Christ that that is going to affect the entire landscape, I think, of not only this nation, but other nations. It's gotta, it's gotta be more of a reform that affects, you know, I think not just a revival, because reviving is for the church, but you know, I think uh reform and reformation is for an entire society and culture. And I think there's a those wins, you know, in the gospels obviously had to do with evangelism and it had to do with new life of in-gathering that was coming in. And I remember a message you preached years, it's been you know, maybe one to two decades ago, uh, about the barn. Yeah, and and about how the barn was the ingathering that you know the Lord was bringing and bringing so many different things into the barn, and it was the father's barn, and the way that that all had to fit, and the way that all had to process and had to go through and the laying of the different things and different parts. And you know, I I think maybe there's a there's a uh uh there may be a mul multiple facets of things that are gonna occur and begin to occur. But you know, it's the wind, I think, was you know the initiator of that. And I think it's the wind of God's spirit, don't you?

SPEAKER_01 12:31

Uh that's what I was gonna say. So we know the Holy Spirit, when uh they were in the upper room, there was a mighty wind that came. And so I like to look at it when when that happened and Jay was there um when I'm not with him, he called me up that night and told me what had happened. And so I immediately thought um the the the Holy Spirit, you know, because not only is he wind, but he's fire also, you know, a consuming fire. And so not only do we need a refreshing wind or wind to come to just wake us up and do something in the body of Christ, but we need the fire of God to just ignite us and um put us on fire again.

SPEAKER_02 13:27

What what month was that in?

SPEAKER_03 13:29

September. September. Yeah, I didn't say that.

SPEAKER_02 13:31

And so you remember um because I didn't I didn't share this, I never shared it really publicly, I don't think, but um y'all knew about it because I called you and talked to you about it. About the fact because I don't really dream uh, you know, I dream things and it's only about people, and I'll know to pray for them, I'll know to call and give them an encouraging uh encouragement because they're going through some but it was during a very intense time of of January, the end of January of 2024. And and it was going into February, and I remember uh I remember uh calling you know because I said, you know, I had a dream, and and I said it was so vivid because I saw like almost like uh shafts of light that were coming down. Well, you know, at that time a lot of people were talking about a demonic thing that was going on. But I realized that the shafts of light were not that they were not uh demonic. There actually were messengers of God that were coming down in specific places across the United States in specific areas that there was a lot of demonic activity that was going on, but God was sending those shafts of light that were like fire and light coming down specifically almost like a laser into these particular areas. And what I realized was happening is God as a father was doing that to bring deliverance. It wasn't to bring destruction, it was because of the destruction that was going on. And God said, nope, that ain't happening. You know, it's almost like not on my watch. That's not happening. And God began to, and what was amazing is over 2024 I began to realize a lot of these major cities began to have an exposure and an uncovering of a lot of things that were going on that were not healthy for those towns. And you know, it's it's unfortunate that sometimes people that in places of responsibility oftentimes only see that as a power for themselves. They don't see it as a power to serve and to administrate and to administer life and blessing for people. And they they they take it, you know, and they run with it for themselves, and as a result, it uh many times goes in the opposite direction.

SPEAKER_03 16:12

Yeah, or it's so such short term in regards to I mean and and we gotta consider the whole you know, again, with me, anything like that with me, so the whole uh idea that Prophet Ezekiel comes into play. You know, the wind was the valley, but you know, he's the prophet of hope in that time of judgment. Obviously, the glory of God, the moving of the glory of God, the return of the glory of God, the temple, all those things are so a part of that uh for me. And I so I think it was just it was this that much of a hope situation uh for us. And again, I think you're right. I I don't, you know, he he said it, you know, it is part of his part of his words, and he probably's words is the Lord will say to him when he's building, rebuilding it, uh uh, I will I will be like little sanctuaries to my people. And I think that's what we've experienced. I think maybe uh, you know, one town in California, or one town in Florida, or one town in Canada, or maybe one town or or a portion of one country. And it's never been, I think what he's intended was again with Rick would be, you know, an overall thing. Uh um, and not just three men or four men, and I got to fly somewhere to find them. I don't, I would never was that the there's got to be something wrong with that.

SPEAKER_02 17:30

Yeah, you know, I because again, I we can talk like this because you you go know your scripture and everything. But you know, it's like some of this stuff I think goes all the way back when God was working his covenant out that he'd promised to Abram and then Abraham, but then when it actually 400 and something years later it starts coming to pass, one of the things that occurs in that is when Israel came out and finally got to the place that they were supposed to be, and they're at Mount, you know, they're at the mountain of God, yeah, and the Lord wants to meet with them. The the people are really disturbed by that. They're very disturbed by the presence of God, they're very disturbed by the fact that the voice of God is like it is, and they really made a shift at that moment where they wanted Moses to be the mediator and tell God to speak to him and them to speak to them. But up at that point, I I thought it was interesting because I think it's Exodus 19, is the fact that the Lord really wanted to make the entire nation a priesthood to all the other nations. And as a result, when they made the decision to operate like they did, the Lord adjusted that and he took one tribe out of Israel, out of the 12 tribes, and said, You'll be the priesthood, and out of this priesthood you'll minister to the other 11 tribes. But God's initial intent was for that nation to be a ministry to the entire other nations of the world.

SPEAKER_03 19:20

Right.

SPEAKER_02 19:21

And they never and they never embrace that. So then we come back around New Testament, and you, you know, a lot of times we look at you know 2 Peter, and uh, you know, we talk about um, well, really it's 1 Peter 2, I think, where he says in verse 5, 6, 7, and 8, and 9 that we're a priesthood. And he's actually you know making us a priesthood because what he's called us out of darkness into his marvelous light that we should show forth praises of God. But again, what was missed up here in Exodus 19, God turns around and says, Look, I want my church to be this to all the world. I want them to be to everybody, and I want them to be a holy nation, entire nation of people like that, uh, a royal priesthood, you know, a special, or you know, it says peculiar in the King, old King James. Yeah. But it's not a weird group. It's just simply it's a treasured group. It's a special group of people. And God wanted the entire church to be special, he wanted the entire church to be holy, he wanted the entire church to operate as a as a priesthood, you know, of life and light and blessing in the darkness and in the face, I think, of what has become exercised of a lot of the curse that his people have never understood that Christ redeemed us from. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:56

You know, is that yeah, totally agree. You know, it's yeah, and dimensions of this again, uh and then you know, which I think, and we've talked about it some, certainly we've talked about it, but uh, and not a Levitical or an ironic priesthood, but a Melchester priesthood. So I mean, there's so many things that I think uh of this covenant that you brought up, even from Abraham, and of course, the new the new one, the new covenant, so much of it has is there, um especially the book of Hebrews, that we've never experienced or have never known before. And I think much of this time period that we're in, I uh you know, I've said it before, you know this, um, certainly Linda's heard it, is I think our whole life has been for preparation for this very time period because he wants to bring it a fullness of that covenant um that the the world truly can be blessed. And um and you know, it the so many things had to change. I uh I'm not blaming on our forefathers. You know, he the uh uh would they have to respond to him the way they thought they responded? It's our turn now. I'm trusting that we've been submissive to him, allowing his objective to be formed in us and uh his intent to be built in us for this time period, which always was uh that it would be clear that he loves the world, that he sent Jesus Christ because of the world, and um and that they would know that they're they're loved by him. I mean, all this, and we get to be the incredible, honored uh people to sh to represent all of that.

SPEAKER_02 22:44

Well Jay, what what uh any other insights or any other things that I know you wouldn't add to stuff, but any insights since 2024 when you got that that you really sense prophetically that y'all are experiencing because I know you know a lot of people may not be aware of this, uh people that know you are close to you do, that y'all travel all over the United States ministering to different churches and different groups and things like this. And matter of fact, um, you know, I know you you you've written some books that are available. A lot of people don't realize that, but you've written some books that are available uh through Amazon, I believe. And um, one of them is actually on Mikhail Zedek on the priesthood. Yeah, yeah. I think it's your your most recent release.

SPEAKER_03 23:35

Yeah, it just got released January. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:37

And so um, you know, I I know that's something you can access as far as the digital version and things of that nature, but and also on Abraham, you know, you did kind of a thing on the life of Abraham, and uh, you know, and it would be great for people to get an in-depth study if they wanted to to maybe pick those pick those references up. They which, you know, they can, you know, it like especially the young people today, they love going on Amazon and ordering something and download it and listen to it or watch it or read it or whatever. And that's good. Yeah, I'm still a little old school. I like my Bibles.

SPEAKER_03 24:13

I like the Bibles of the Air ebooks only, but yeah, I agree. I agree. Yeah, and uh, you know, the I I I do I appreciate the question, and I I think Linda should add to it too. I do what I do, what I knew for sure was it had begun. And so kind of with with a little bit with him and me is this I don't always ask the question of why, how come were we going? I'm just taking hold of what he's saying and understanding that. Not that the questions don't matter, they're just not questions that have to be asked. You know, like the the word to Ezekiel was can these bones live? Good question. And Ezekiel had the right answer. And so a lot of times in those particular situations, and the property for me, if he's saying it, or that's what I'm seeing, then that's good with me. The other things were the same way. This uh, I thought was the the uniqueness of this, though, was the slowness of it. It was that's why I took the time, it just was evolving. So I wasn't sure when I first looked at it, I was seeing something that maybe was to be a picture, or he was saying something to me in regard to no no nothing was said, but I understood it as it began to blow. The wind started right away. The first thing was the Ezekiel's book, or primarily the that vision. So I was excited with a passion for the glory of God to be back with us for uh not so much a move of God, but you know, a uh a habitation of God, and so I was really excited about that, and then the encompassing fire was huge because you know, there's been not some bad fires too, through even through the scriptures. Yeah, this one becomes so important, it doesn't change. And I was thinking, you know, I always thought this uh just that of this. I I always thought when I first read that portion of 1 Kings 17, 18, I just thought, what they would have been better to send the fire on the prophets of Baal and take care of that problem. But he doesn't do that, that's not his issue. That's not a problem. The problem is the people of God where they are and where they need to be. And everything changes in that moment. So that kind of I was pumped. And I actually that Sunday morning, instead of me preaching, I shared it with the church. I said, This just happened to me. I just thought it was interesting for them being in Maryland and being downtown there, you know. So yeah. Lynn, what do you think, baby?

SPEAKER_01 26:39

I wasn't there.

SPEAKER_02 26:41

That's why I shared it with you guys. Well, you know, uh, you just said something, and I kind of thought about it because uh Linda and I were having a converse, a little bit of conversation uh uh earlier this week. And um the way. Huh? The way you know, Moses, it says, knew the ways of God, the children of Israel knew the acts of God. Well, you know, I was thinking when when you made a statement about Ezekiel about the you know the bone yard, and it said the Lord asked him, he said, you know, can these bones live again? And Ezekiel's response was correct, where he said, Thou knowest, but I immediately thought of Job also when God said, Job, were you there when I created the apocalypse? That's right. And you know, and and that that goes back to the book of Hebrews, though. Uh and I know this is an odd way to get there, but it I really I've been just involved in the book of Hebrews now for a while. Matter of fact, a lot of what I'm drawing out in a current series on vision and you know, really appointment is really based out of the book of Hebrews and people that are you find in the book of Hebrews. But what I realize about a lot of this is God speaks to his people a lot of times and they don't have an understanding of really what's being said, and it takes them a while to make the alignment or the adjustment for clarification purposes, not because God's not clear. It's like we're not clear because when God speaks, a lot of times we're so caught up like the children of Israel at the mountain, we're so caught up in the voice of it that we're missing what God's really saying through his voice. And you know, that's the that's the the the thing that Moses knew the ways of God, but the children of Israel so um how that came about with me.

SPEAKER_01 28:36

I was dreaming, and in my dream, um sometimes this happens to me, and I just clearly heard the way of God, and I woke up, and I was like, I said to Jay the next day, I think I need to study that word way, and there's different references. There's over almost over 700, I believe, in the Old Testament alone. Not all of them are the same, but like with Moses, I was like, okay, what's the way? You know, they didn't know the way, but what was the way? So it was not only his commandments, his creativity, and there was something else. I'm I'm not recollecting that third thing, but the way, the way of God, and the the scripture that came to me that is so prevalent today is that uh men think they have the way that they think is the way, but the end is destruction. And we're in that day right now in the world that we think and not to say that we have the right way, but if it's not aligning to the Bible and what God says, then it's not his way.

SPEAKER_02 30:09

Well, you know, that's that's the thing, you know, it's like the entire book of Judges, you know, was on the on based on the fact that it was it was a critical time where God had to keep raising individuals up, but even when God was raising up individuals to be a mouthpiece or a voice to the people, they still weren't getting it because it says every man wanted to do what was right in his own sight. And it's like right now, there seems to be that seems to be a recurring problem in our current day and more than ever. And you know, now we got the whole thing with AI, so people can access AI and they can come back with AI's information as if it's their information, and you know, um, you know, there's the the thing that is missed, I think, today, and I don't y'all may agree or disagree, but I think the thing that is missed today most in the church is if Paul prayed in Ephesians 1 that God would open the eyes of our understanding and give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation and the knowledge of his dear son, so that the church could know what the inheritance is in the saints. Right. And it's so that we would understand that. And you know, Peter in Matthew 16, when Peter, uh Jesus was questioning his disciples, you know, he said, Who do men say that I am? You know, and they're they're asking, you know, they're giving different responses and all. And all of a sudden Peter gets it, you know, he gets it right. He said, You're Christ, the Son of the living God. And then Jesus stops and says, Wait a minute, guys, Peter, flesh and blood didn't reveal this to you, but my father which is in heaven. In other words, he, you know, he he gets it because God gives it to him. And, you know, I think that a lot of stuff is learned information today that people are learning, and it's you know, it's being passed off. But I really think the Lord wants to give that with that wind of the Spirit, which is the Holy Spirit. I think He wants to give the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of your son. So we can not just see the acts of God. And we've gone through great time periods where God has been very benevolent, very much a father of blessing. You know, he's not withheld his hand, he's not withheld his arm, he's not withheld any of those aspects. But there's something more right now, I sense, that is in most of the people, they're crying out for reality. Yeah, they're crying out for truth, they're calling, you know, they're crying out for more than just information. They really want a revelation of who God is as a Father and who Jesus is as the Son. And I think the only way that happens is through the help that the Holy Spirit, you know, makes possible in each and every one of our lives.

SPEAKER_03 33:11

Yeah, no, I love it. I agree with everything you're saying. I think it's great. And and I this probably can help a little bit because I think this is how we've lived our lives. Um especially comparing the children of Israel during the Moses era and Hebrews 4.1 is so key because it's helped me. Uh three is all about their their hardness of heart, they couldn't hear, um, they couldn't, they would never enter this promise, which is a huge moment for a generation not to do that. But it the this helped me because when he's beginning to speak or share things that may be new to us or unheard of, or he's changing a time period. I mean, the the that from Moses to Josh was a huge moment of his intent to bring them in there, what happens there, but they did not mix faith their faith with what they were hearing, and so I realized, you know, maybe uh I needed this by faith to be at a certain place in my 30s to hear what he wanted to say in my 40s if I could do it that way. And my faith in my 40s was necessary to hear what he was gonna say, but I have to mix like with that vision with Ezekiel. I I don't think I would have that vision 25 years ago because I wouldn't know the reality, really, the reality of the uh Elijah's the whole Mont Carmel issue, uh the the purpose of Ezekiel's prophecy as a whole, not just one piece or two pieces, not just one chapter, but as a whole. And I think that's where the faith comes in to believe, and so there's this ongoing because every fresh thing he's saying to me, I've got to mix it, or to us, mix it as what I know, and that's the failure that they didn't what they could not mix faith with what they were hearing. It seems simple, but it was a reality. And and therefore they could not, and and you know, I mean that's always been a concern of mine. To ever think that it was the early thinking, when especially there, to ever think that we would live our lives and he would take care of us, clothe us, keep the enemy away, feed us, you know, uh cover us at night, cover us during the day, you know, would would send a rock to follow us around and we would drink from it. And to have all that provision by God and not have entered into his promises? Or his covenant, I would think, I don't want to live like that. There was a time when I thought that would be that would you're you're really somewhere. And immediately for our generation or for me, it began, I don't think it's just me, for sure it's just not me, but I began to think, I don't, that's not something's wrong here. I want there's a dementia, I want what your absolute fullness is for us, and not to live short thinking that we have it. And that those, you know, that that time period is a is proven fact of it.

SPEAKER_02 36:18

And I I remember uh that was a point a few years back that the Lord actually spoke to my heart and He said He said, most people want my stuff they don't really want me. You know, and it's just like you know, that's the thing. It's like we are almost generated within the body of Christ an attitude about because God will and is a good father, and there's no there's no shadow or variance in his ability to bless, and all good gifts come to the father above. But the thing is, we want many times just the gifts we don't want God. You know, we're we're we're happy, we get a we get a gift, I'm fine, you know.

SPEAKER_03 37:03

And um we were raised that way too. Unfortunately, the generation before us, not everybody, but we were raised that way in our early training. That was that was that was pre-month. That was that was paramount. That was yeah, if you had that, you were blessed.

SPEAKER_02 37:18

Yeah, and see now I realize every day, Lord, I I can't I gotta have you. I gotta have you. You know, it's like you know, I can I can live without a lot of things, but I can't live without you.

SPEAKER_03 37:29

Gotta have it.

SPEAKER_02 37:30

Um, well, listen, um since y'all are the guest here, friends and family, and you you had that vision. You want to pray for us and we'll kind of wrap things up, put it on.

SPEAKER_03 37:42

Yeah, we're good with our time. Yeah, yeah. Just checking in with our our team here. Yeah, so good over here. Yeah. Uh they were not supposed to mention uh Michael and Sam's name. Sammy's name, so I won't.

SPEAKER_02 37:55

That's okay. Oh, they know I do it quite well.

SPEAKER_03 37:58

All right, that's good. Yeah, it's fantastic.

SPEAKER_02 38:00

I talk about what awesome thing.

SPEAKER_03 38:01

Oh, we have the other doctor with us, they just don't know it yet. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, amen. Thank you for the the the the time, and I so appreciate it. Really, it's only the third time that I've shared that bigger thing. I just think it's something he's doing. I'm glad. My concern and my my my my travail really is uh it'll be in in Siam's generation, Michaela's generation, whether we see or not is the question. So my prayer now is just gonna be that we our generation responds to his intent to prepare us for that which he intends to do, and that we don't resist him. I would think I would never resist him, but I realize generations have and times passed, so I'm certainly not beyond that, nor are we. So that's I'm gonna that prayer and that and I love the spirit of wisdom revelation out of Ephesians 1.

unknown 38:54

It'd be beautiful, right?

SPEAKER_03 38:55

So, Father, I just thank you uh really uh for Dr. Curl. Uh love this opportunity to be here with him, the church, at this time period of our lives. It is certainly my cry that you have the preeminence with me, first of all, with us, my friends, my family, and with the church at large, of course. That you would be the central passion of our lives. That's that's the cry. That's we need to see that that the glory that you had from the beginning, we would have it, and that we would behold your glory, that the world would know that you love them, and that our Father sent you for them. So, Father, I thank you for this, Lord. Uh uh, I believe the vision is true, uh, as I have with everything you've ever showed me. I believe it's true. Thank you for that. Um, in Jesus' name we pray, amen.

SPEAKER_02 39:49
