SPEAKER_00: Bye buddy.
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, I love being a parent.
SPEAKER_00: Um Charlie Kirk lost his life, was martyred this year this year.
SPEAKER_00: It's very sad.
SPEAKER_00: He's in heaven now, but one of the things he really was trying to see restored was people having families.
SPEAKER_00: Like men these days, it's it's very odd.
SPEAKER_00: The dating scene, all this, like people, it's people who have this topic of body counts, they just sleep around.
SPEAKER_00: They have no clue of what true fullness and happiness is of life.
SPEAKER_00: Like, and but he but Charlie was like, hey, like get married and have families.
SPEAKER_00: Have kids.
SPEAKER_00: Like the idea of having kids, like kids are a blessing.
SPEAKER_00: That's what my Bible says.
SPEAKER_00: But I I before we had a kid, I was a little bit nervous about it.
SPEAKER_00: If I could just be a little bit open with the guys here, I was a little bit nervous, you know, but I love it.
SPEAKER_00: I cannot imagine life without it.
SPEAKER_00: Like, I'd love it.
SPEAKER_00: So, um, anyways, I let me get back to what I was saying.
SPEAKER_00: I I told you I was gonna talk on discernment.
SPEAKER_00: I'm preparing the message.
SPEAKER_00: I had it.
SPEAKER_00: And and um I'm y'all know what this type of thing.
SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm practicing, I'm praying, and all of a sudden I hear Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, what?
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, Lord, one second, I'm trying to practice my message.
SPEAKER_00: And it hits again.
SPEAKER_00: Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: I said, Okay, God, are you want me to change my message the day before?
SPEAKER_00: And he goes, Yes.
SPEAKER_00: And there's times that you hear from the Lord, and it's like a feeling.
SPEAKER_00: Then there's times that you hear from the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: It's like conviction, clarity.
SPEAKER_00: I did not want to change my message, okay?
SPEAKER_00: I did not want to change up anything.
SPEAKER_00: And I actually I had one of those Gethsemane moments, very different circumstances, but I was like, you know, Lord, can you please not have me have to change my message?
SPEAKER_00: I really want to preach this.
SPEAKER_00: And I told him I was going to.
SPEAKER_00: And he goes, I want you to talk on Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: And I said, Not my will, but your will be done.
SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna talk on this, but it's gonna be different because it's not just a message, but it's gonna be a participation.
SPEAKER_00: Okay, and um let me go ahead and put a verse up here real quick.
SPEAKER_00: This is Philippians 4 6.
SPEAKER_00: It says, Do not be anxious about anything.
SPEAKER_00: Do you know that we live in a world where anxiety is higher in higher amounts than it's ever been for any generation?
SPEAKER_00: We are the most blessed, we have the most commodities, we have the most information available.
SPEAKER_00: Yes, yet we are the most fearful, we have anxiety, we are the most prescribed with drugs than any other generation.
SPEAKER_00: Even cavemen were happier than we are.
SPEAKER_00: We uh in all of our riches and everything, we've somehow managed to figure out a way to become even more imprisoned and less happy than anything.
SPEAKER_00: He says, Don't be anxious about anything.
SPEAKER_00: This is interesting.
SPEAKER_00: Just I wasn't even gonna say this.
SPEAKER_00: He says, Do not be did you notice the command there?
SPEAKER_00: The idea behind the command is that there's a choice, okay?
SPEAKER_00: Now listen, I understand that there's people that have real issues that you you're prescribed medicine, and I'm not condemning that, okay?
SPEAKER_00: But I also think there's issues where we have a little bit of the um what's that term where you think something's wrong with you all the time?
SPEAKER_00: Hypochondriac.
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
SPEAKER_00: That.
SPEAKER_00: So do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: Everyone say thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: When I'm looking, when I'm making, I'm gonna be making turkey for the first time this this year.
SPEAKER_00: My family's coming down here.
SPEAKER_00: This is the first time we've had it.
SPEAKER_00: I have six sisters, they're bringing their husbands, their kids.
SPEAKER_00: Our house is going to be full.
SPEAKER_00: We have mom and dad coming over, and it's gonna be a wonderful time.
SPEAKER_00: But we're making the turkey.
SPEAKER_00: And so when I'm making the turkey, I've asked my sister, give me your instructions, give me your ingredients.
SPEAKER_00: Understand when I'm making the turkey, I've asked dad to make the turkey.
SPEAKER_00: Um, is that what you're saying?
SPEAKER_00: I asked dad how to make a turkey.
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
SPEAKER_00: And um, but if I'm making it, anyone that's followed a recipe, you understand you don't just skip ingredients.
SPEAKER_00: You can skip an ingredient and you're gonna get a very different outcome, right?
SPEAKER_00: Look at the ingredients here.
SPEAKER_00: It says, You're gonna buy prayer and petition.
SPEAKER_00: Petition's asking.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I'm asking you for something.
SPEAKER_00: But then he says, with thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes what we do, we know about how the power of thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: We've heard the messages, we know that it's important.
SPEAKER_00: But sometimes I this is what I found in my personal life.
SPEAKER_00: I just forget to do it.
SPEAKER_00: I've got the petitioning, the questioning died down.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I need help with this.
SPEAKER_00: Come and do this, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes what I forget is the thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: Now he says, present your request to God.
SPEAKER_00: And then I want you to look at what it says in the second the next verse.
SPEAKER_00: It says, And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ.
SPEAKER_00: And I just want to propose this.
SPEAKER_00: I want to propose that thanksgiving can be something that can actually really minister to us.
SPEAKER_00: It's beautiful what you said, Stephanie.
SPEAKER_00: If she's still in here, it's it's beautiful what she said that we don't realize what this is doing to us, you know.
SPEAKER_00: That even just the acts of obedience, how that can produce thanksgiving, we don't understand what Thanksgiving can do.
SPEAKER_00: It can restore peace in our life.
SPEAKER_00: We're asking God, Lord, I need peace.
SPEAKER_00: And he's just saying, hey, start giving thanks, start having gratitude.
SPEAKER_00: In this season of going through a critical spirit, I I've it's it's amazing.
SPEAKER_00: I've seen all these areas, and even on a daily basis, I find myself being overly critical on things.
SPEAKER_00: It I it's not peaceful.
SPEAKER_00: I'm aggravated, but this is one of the things, like the prescriptions for it.
SPEAKER_00: I've started having gratitude in the moments, y'all know what I'm talking about, so don't act overly religious in here.
SPEAKER_00: Those moments where you're frustrated with someone or something, and your peace is gone, I've started thanking God for them or that thing.
SPEAKER_00: I'm not kidding, and it's working.
SPEAKER_00: I get frustrated, I'm you know, I'm like, uh, what's what's this guy?
SPEAKER_00: Is it Harry?
SPEAKER_00: It's Harry on Home Alone, Harry and Marv.
SPEAKER_00: You know how Harry would be like that's my wife's that's the thing we'll do.
SPEAKER_00: But when we're aggravated at something, I've started thanking God for it.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for them.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the blessing they are.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you, Lord, that you love them, that you have a plan for their life.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for this situation.
SPEAKER_00: Even though it's hard, I thank you for what is developing in me.
SPEAKER_00: And I'm telling y'all, my joy and my peace is coming back.
SPEAKER_00: I'm not, it's like every day that it's like the enemy's like, let's try to rob him of peace and joy.
SPEAKER_00: And I said, Ah! I get my lightsaber out.
SPEAKER_00: And I said, No, not today, Satan.
SPEAKER_00: Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna we're gonna go into this, and what we're actually gonna do, we're gonna participate and we're just gonna give thanks today together.
SPEAKER_00: Over a bunch of different areas of topics.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes we we think, oh God, you've abandoned me, God, you're not taking care of me.
SPEAKER_00: But when we actually remember and we look back, look at his faithfulness, it will encourage us, Lord, you've been faithful yesterday.
SPEAKER_00: I can be confident you're gonna be faithful tomorrow.
SPEAKER_00: I'm thanking you for what you've done, and it it instills a peace inside of me.
SPEAKER_00: I mean it's right there in the Bible.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay, okay.
SPEAKER_00: I want to hit just one more thing.
SPEAKER_00: In Psalm 16, it says, In your presence there is fullness of joy.
SPEAKER_00: We all know that verse.
SPEAKER_00: But check out in Psalm 104, it says, Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise.
SPEAKER_00: In his presence there's fullness of joy, okay?
SPEAKER_00: How do you get into his presence?
SPEAKER_00: You go through the gates and the courts.
SPEAKER_00: Y'all catch that?
SPEAKER_00: I want the fullness of joy.
SPEAKER_00: I don't want just a little bit of joy, I want the fullness of joy.
SPEAKER_00: I'm telling you, listen, I I there's I'm I'm even experiencing this more and more in my life is there's a fullness of joy.
SPEAKER_00: I'm even finding myself doing weird things like walking outside looking at trees, and I'm like, wow.
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
SPEAKER_00: Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, Pocahontas, that thing.
SPEAKER_00: See back there, but she's like, Yes, that's not a Christian song, y'all.
SPEAKER_00: That movie's demonic.
SPEAKER_00: I know Rick and Tina are like, he's right.
SPEAKER_00: But seriously, the fullness of joy, thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: We can praise God, but are we thanking him?
SPEAKER_00: Or are we always complaining, making petitions without Thanksgiving?
SPEAKER_00: So, what are things that we could be thankful for?
SPEAKER_00: Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Like if we had nothing, and our health was horrible, we had no friends, we had no church, everything's off, but we could still be thankful because of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Luke 4 8, 19.
SPEAKER_00: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring the good news to the poor.
SPEAKER_00: He has sent me to proclaim the captives will be released, that the blind will see, and that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord's favor has come.
SPEAKER_00: We are thankful for the ministry of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: This is why he came.
SPEAKER_00: We were all prisoners, we were all those oppressed, we were the ones spiritually blind, and some, and I'm even believing, I've even Rick doesn't even know us, I've been praying every day for him to get um to see again.
SPEAKER_00: I'm praying for Pastor Pete for him to have eyesight restored in his eye.
SPEAKER_00: I'm praying for Sharon to be fully restored from the effects of her stroke.
SPEAKER_00: I'm praying for you, church, even just as a whole, the blood of Jesus, the healing of God, the protection of God, the ministry of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: There was an agenda, and we're thankful for that because he's still doing that.
SPEAKER_00: The high priest of ours understands our weakness.
SPEAKER_00: This is Jesus, for he faced all the same testings we we did, um, yet he did not sin.
SPEAKER_00: He did not sin.
SPEAKER_00: Not only did he have a ministry, but he was an example of holiness, righteousness.
SPEAKER_00: He was the perfect lamb, spotless that was slain.
SPEAKER_00: The death of Jesus, Romans 5.8, but God shows his love for us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
SPEAKER_00: It's one thing to say Christ died for me, it's one thing to say that while I was still a sinner, while I was still an enemy of God, like he rolled the dice.
SPEAKER_00: He does he it's not it's like I'm I don't know if you're gonna accept me, but I'm still gonna do it for you anyways.
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna put it all out there.
SPEAKER_00: That's something to be thankful for.
SPEAKER_00: Forgiveness, Colossians 1 13 through 14, for he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son, He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
SPEAKER_00: Because of what we did, we have the forgiveness of sins.
SPEAKER_00: It's not by your works, okay?
SPEAKER_00: You're not gonna outdo your sins and just do good works.
SPEAKER_00: That's folly.
SPEAKER_00: It's he's forgiven us, he's wiped us clean, washed us white or snow.
SPEAKER_00: It even the Bible tells us that He He remembers our sins no more.
SPEAKER_00: Isn't that beautiful?
SPEAKER_00: We remember our sins, but he's saying I don't.
SPEAKER_00: Paul says, I no longer look behind me, I no longer look at the issues.
SPEAKER_00: A lot of us we have issues in our past, we've had rough pasts.
SPEAKER_00: I've talked to some of you.
SPEAKER_00: I have rough stuff in my past, but that's not going to keep me down.
SPEAKER_00: I'm looking forward because the blood of the Lamb has cleansed me.
SPEAKER_00: That's something to be thankful for.
SPEAKER_00: Colossians 2.14, he canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
SPEAKER_00: I love this verse and I love doing this in sessions of deliverance.
SPEAKER_00: You remind the demons, our their sins and our sins have been pierced to the cross.
SPEAKER_00: The accuser wants you to stay condemned, stay guilty.
SPEAKER_00: And one of the things that you do in warfare is you remind him, uh-uh.
SPEAKER_00: My past, my history, my sins, that record of wrongdoing has been pierced to the cross.
SPEAKER_00: I'm thankful for that.
SPEAKER_00: We're thankful for that.
SPEAKER_00: In resurrection, Romans 8.11, the Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you.
SPEAKER_00: And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by the same spirit living within you.
SPEAKER_00: We have a hope, church.
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't matter how bad things get here, it doesn't matter if the loss, the decay, the despair, the persecution, all the bad things, we are going to be in paradise with him.
SPEAKER_00: We're going to be in heaven, and then we're going to be on a new earth.
SPEAKER_00: That's something to be thankful for.
SPEAKER_00: So what we're going to do is we're just going to give a quick prayer of thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for sending your son.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the love of the Father that sent his son Jesus, who is a perfect Lamb, an example to us, who ministered and preached the kingdom of God, who showed us the new way, the better way, the new covenant, and who gave his life for our sins, who died on a cross selflessly, while we were still guilty, while we were the sinners, while while we were the enemies of God, the rebellious, who showed mercy on us and gave his perfect Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for that payment.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for that blood that cleanses us, washes us white as snow.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for salvation.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for the restoration of relationship.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Father.
SPEAKER_00: And thank you, Lord, that when we die, we will rise again into new life.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for the hope that we have through Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: We can be thankful for the Holy Spirit's presence, power, and leading in our life.
SPEAKER_00: John 14, 16, and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever.
SPEAKER_00: One of the things is this is a reality of the holiday times.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes the holidays highlight our loneliness.
SPEAKER_00: And sometimes we're lonely for different reasons.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes our families passed away.
SPEAKER_00: My mother passed away this year.
SPEAKER_00: My father passed away a few years ago.
SPEAKER_00: This is this is there's some sadness going on this Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: That's part of the reason my sisters are coming to our house.
SPEAKER_00: There's some sadness.
SPEAKER_00: There's a number of us may be lonely because we've had family that's moved on.
SPEAKER_00: Maybe some of us we don't live close enough to family and friends.
SPEAKER_00: Maybe some of us have moved away and we're in a new area and we're trying to form a new family, but it's not happened yet, so we're going to feel lonely.
SPEAKER_00: I love this.
SPEAKER_00: It says the presence of God is with us.
SPEAKER_00: We're never alone.
SPEAKER_00: We're never truly alone.
SPEAKER_00: It's beautiful.
SPEAKER_00: His presence is with us.
SPEAKER_00: Also, his presence leads us.
SPEAKER_00: Romans 8.14, for those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
SPEAKER_00: God's Spirit desires to lead us and is leading us.
SPEAKER_00: Even at times we don't realize that He's leading us.
SPEAKER_00: And then the power of the Holy Spirit, Acts 1.8, but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.
SPEAKER_00: And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.
SPEAKER_00: These are things to be thankful for.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for sending your Spirit, your helper, your comforter, the one who leads us, the one who convicts the world of its sin, but also God's righteousness and coming judgment.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the leading of the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the power that we don't deserve, but you give it to us to be able to accomplish your will, Father, that gives us abilities beyond what we can do.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, we thank you for your presence that is with us.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you that you will never leave us nor forsake us, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the presence of your Holy Spirit, for the comforter that can comfort us when sometimes words won't do.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Father.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Family, friends, church, fellowship.
SPEAKER_00: Something to be thankful for.
SPEAKER_00: Um Proverbs 18 22 says, Um, he who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: And she who finds a husband is one lucky lady.
SPEAKER_00: That's a new translation.
SPEAKER_00: I've actually been developing that.
SPEAKER_00: Remember the digit translation?
SPEAKER_00: Psalm 127, children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring, a reward from Him.
SPEAKER_00: Proverbs 17, 17, a friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
SPEAKER_00: Acts 2 44, all the believers were together and had everything in common, praising God and enjoying the favor of all people.
SPEAKER_00: We're thankful for fellowship, our family, our friends, our church.
SPEAKER_00: This is a beautiful thing.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for the blessings of family.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you, Lord, if we're married, we thank you, Lord, for our spouse, for the blessing that they are, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for the gift that they are to our life.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Lord, that they help us grow, Lord, to become even more like Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for the partnership, Lord, for the love and commitment of that.
SPEAKER_00: Forgive us, Lord, when we've not taken that seriously.
SPEAKER_00: Forgive them, forgive us when we've not treated them how we should according to your word.
SPEAKER_00: Forgive them when we've not seen them through your eyes, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for the blessing that they are, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Help us to love them better as you love them.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for our children.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for every minute of lost sleep.
SPEAKER_00: That every cry is just a sign that there's life.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you, Father, for the blessing of our children.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Help us to mold them into your image.
SPEAKER_00: Help us to raise them up in the way they should go.
SPEAKER_00: Help us be the example to them.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for our friends.
SPEAKER_00: The blessings of friends you put around us, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Maybe we're not take that for granted.
SPEAKER_00: And we thank you for our church and the fellowship that we have, that we can encourage each other to good works, that we can come together, that we can minister together, that we can lock arms, that we can be laborers for the harvest, that we can be ministered to in times of need, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the church that comes when we're in need, Lord, when we have emergencies, when we have trauma that circles around us, that comforts us, that walks alongside us, that covers us.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for that.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for the blessing of fellowship you put in our life, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: And I thank you also for those who don't have that that are searching, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you, Father, that your word says that you put the lonely in families.
SPEAKER_00: And I thank you, Lord, that you are leading them, that your plan is not to leave them alone, but to place them in family.
SPEAKER_00: And for those who have lost family, that you're great at restoring family.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: The next thing is provision.
SPEAKER_00: God's blessing, God's provision.
SPEAKER_00: The way I've started to view this is that everything I have comes from God, and that I would not be able to have anything on my own.
SPEAKER_00: It's all a gift, it's all a blessing.
SPEAKER_00: My ability to work a job comes from him.
SPEAKER_00: My ability to have the job comes from him.
SPEAKER_00: The doors that have opened in my life come from him.
SPEAKER_00: My talents and my skills all come from him.
SPEAKER_00: Our provision is from him.
SPEAKER_00: It's something to be thankful for.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes what we do is that we don't have the provision we want, so we complain.
SPEAKER_00: I've done that before.
SPEAKER_00: All the circumstances of my job are not what I want.
SPEAKER_00: So I complain.
SPEAKER_00: You know what I've started doing every day?
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for this job.
SPEAKER_00: Ooh, I thank you for this job.
SPEAKER_00: And I ask God that you would help me, Lord, just glorify you.
SPEAKER_00: I ask that you would help me be the best worker there.
SPEAKER_00: Even when my boss is not watching, that I'll be one of the best workers there.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, thank you for this privilege.
SPEAKER_00: Philippians 4.19 says, and my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Do you know that it's not fully our responsibility just to make it happen?
SPEAKER_00: It's just to be faithful when he opens the doors.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes men, especially, I'm going to speak to the men because we carry the weight of being breadwinners of our family.
SPEAKER_00: And honestly, we live in a day where the women are working just as much as the men because they have to, because house prices are nuts.
SPEAKER_00: But I'm thankful.
SPEAKER_00: God works in mysterious ways.
SPEAKER_00: I forgot what I was saying there.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, God will provide.
SPEAKER_00: There's an element where we are just faithful.
SPEAKER_00: We trust the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: We're obedient.
SPEAKER_00: We work hard, but we let him take care of the rest.
SPEAKER_00: And I just want to give you permission to take that weight off your shoulders.
SPEAKER_00: Does that make sense?
SPEAKER_00: Like God's going to God is your ultimate provider.
SPEAKER_00: And we can trust him and we can live in peace, even if things are tight.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: You're going to provide.
SPEAKER_00: You're going to open up a door for me to work.
SPEAKER_00: And I'm going to be faithful.
SPEAKER_00: When that door's open, I'm going to work hard.
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to be faithful.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you that you're giving me strategy.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you that you're giving us wisdom of how to budget our money.
SPEAKER_00: So we're not always going to be living paycheck to paycheck to paycheck.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you, Father, that great times of need, you're supernatural.
SPEAKER_00: All of a sudden, someone's going to give us a gift.
SPEAKER_00: You know how many times people coming up at a time of need, they're like, hey, the Lord just led me to give you this amount.
SPEAKER_00: And it was what we needed.
SPEAKER_00: He's so good at that.
SPEAKER_00: We can just have peace.
SPEAKER_00: God will intentionally leave us in the time of lack to teach us to trust him.
SPEAKER_00: Y'all with me?
SPEAKER_00: He'll intentionally lead us to times where things are tight so we can just learn to trust him.
SPEAKER_00: He's faithful.
SPEAKER_00: He owns the cattle on a thousand hills.
SPEAKER_00: That's symbolic for, hey, he's got all the resources needed.
SPEAKER_00: And if he doesn't, he'll just make it appear.
SPEAKER_00: Matthew 6.31.
SPEAKER_00: So do not worry, saying, What shall we eat or what shall we drink?
SPEAKER_00: Jesus is trying to tell us, stop worrying, but it's so easy to.
SPEAKER_00: I worry.
SPEAKER_00: And I have to remind myself, don't worry.
SPEAKER_00: He's faithful.
SPEAKER_00: We can be thankful for this.
SPEAKER_00: This is what I do.
SPEAKER_00: I look back and I see how faithful God has been to provide all every step of the way.
SPEAKER_00: That doesn't mean there's been times where things have been short.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: There's been some scary seasons.
SPEAKER_00: But God is faithful.
SPEAKER_00: And then what I do is I thank him for his faithfulness tomorrow.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for your faithfulness yesterday.
SPEAKER_00: Today.
SPEAKER_00: But also tomorrow.
SPEAKER_00: In Psalm 23, it says, The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
SPEAKER_00: The day of the holidays.
SPEAKER_00: Don't let fear rob you of the joy of celebration, the joy of family, the joy of fellowship.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for your wonderful provision through all of the years of our life, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you, Lord, for all the bills that have been paid, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you, God, for all the things that have come up that have been surprises over the years that you provided, you've taken care of us.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for all the doors that have opened for us to be able to have jobs, to be able to have blessings, God.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you, God, just you're so faithful to take care of us.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the peace that we get to have, Lord, of just knowing that you're our provider, that we don't have to worry.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you that you're going to provide tomorrow.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the bills that are going to be paid.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the savings accounts, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you even that our cups are going to overflow so that we're going to be able to operate in generosity.
SPEAKER_00: We're going to be able to give out of abundance, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Father.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the new business ventures that they're going to open for people.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the new jobs, Lord, with better hours, better times, Lord, benefits, Father, better schedules to accommodate the needs of their family and responsibilities.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, we thank you for that.
SPEAKER_00: We give that to you.
SPEAKER_00: And we thank you that we can trust you with all the details.
SPEAKER_00: That nothing's impossible for you, Father.
SPEAKER_00: If a major promotion is needed, you're the God that took a prisoner and made him a leader of a nation.
SPEAKER_00: We trust you and we thank you for your provision.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Let's go to the next one.
SPEAKER_00: Trials.
SPEAKER_00: This is an odd one.
SPEAKER_00: This is something I've really cultivated in the last couple years, and it's amazing.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: All the cool Christians are doing it.
SPEAKER_00: Thankful for trials.
SPEAKER_00: Listen to this.
SPEAKER_00: James 1, verse 2.
SPEAKER_00: This is crazy.
SPEAKER_00: When you actually consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds.
SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's crazy.
SPEAKER_00: And we all know the knowledge of that, the information.
SPEAKER_00: Everyone knows James 1.
SPEAKER_00: Well, it sounds big, but the actual revelation of it, the application of it is amazing.
SPEAKER_00: What I'm doing right now, and I'm telling you, this works.
SPEAKER_00: When things get hard, I immediately want to get fearful.
SPEAKER_00: I want to get frustrated.
SPEAKER_00: Okay, we have the natural.
SPEAKER_00: What I've started doing, implementing, is I started thanking God for it.
SPEAKER_00: When there's relational tensions, when things are hard, when there's people you're really struggling with, Lord, I thank you for this moment.
SPEAKER_00: And I thank you for what you're developing in me.
SPEAKER_00: Listen, I'm gonna give you biblical proof because I can tell y'all need it.
SPEAKER_00: You're like, I'm not really convinced yet.
SPEAKER_00: Romans 5, 3 to 4.
SPEAKER_00: Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings.
SPEAKER_00: Because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character hope.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_00: 1 Peter 1, 6 to 7.
SPEAKER_00: In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
SPEAKER_00: These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith, of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire, may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
SPEAKER_00: God puts trials in our life to develop us, to produce something beautiful.
SPEAKER_00: He does it like when we have, listen, I understand the world has hard, hard things because they have hard things, but when you become a son and daughter of God, your hard things now become development.
SPEAKER_00: And that's something to be thankful for.
SPEAKER_00: And it's a weird, yeah, it's redemptive.
SPEAKER_00: There's hope in the midst of storms.
SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00: I've started doing this.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for this moment that is so uncomfortable.
SPEAKER_00: And I thank you, Lord, for just the stress, but I think you're developing something in me.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Jesus, for this trial.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Lord, for this person that's making life not so easy for me.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, help me to love them because all this is doing, revealing that I don't love them the way you do.
SPEAKER_00: So, Lord, we thank you for the trials in our life.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the hard circumstances.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the things in our life that don't seem fair at all.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the hard people to love, Lord, the people that have betrayed us, the people that have just been difficult.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the frustrations in our life, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you that when we've tried things and worked hard and things have failed and things have not worked, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the confusion, Father.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the disappointment, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for what you're developing in us, Lord, and what it's producing the endurance, the genuineness of faith, the character.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you it's producing hope in us, it's producing love in us, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Love that goes beyond just man's way of love.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Jesus, for that.
SPEAKER_00: Protection.
SPEAKER_00: What shall we say about such wonderful things as these?
SPEAKER_00: If God is for us, who can ever be against us?
SPEAKER_00: We're in spiritual warfare.
SPEAKER_00: Some of you may feel intimidated going into certain scenarios with your family because it's not a holy sanctified environment.
SPEAKER_00: The conversation is not going to be holy and sanctified.
SPEAKER_00: And there's going to be people that don't agree with you at all.
SPEAKER_00: And you know what?
SPEAKER_00: There's going to be demonic influences behind people that you're going to be around, and the demonic influences are going to be assigned to bother you because you're a carrier of light.
SPEAKER_00: I want you to understand something.
SPEAKER_00: We are not victims, we are victors.
SPEAKER_00: We are not going in on the defense, we're going in on the offense.
SPEAKER_00: I'm a carrier of light.
SPEAKER_00: The ultimate authority and power is within me, not in them.
SPEAKER_00: Y'all hear me?
SPEAKER_00: If God is for you, who could be against you?
SPEAKER_00: No weapon formed against you shall prosper.
SPEAKER_00: God is your protector.
SPEAKER_00: In those moments where you don't know what to say, God's going to talk through you.
SPEAKER_00: God's going to give you boldness when you feel intimidated.
SPEAKER_00: You don't have to bow to the fear of man, the intimidation of man.
SPEAKER_00: You hear me?
SPEAKER_00: We carry the greater power.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: And we're coming into areas of darkness carrying light.
SPEAKER_00: God is our protector.
SPEAKER_00: That's something to be thankful for.
SPEAKER_00: Amen?
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for your protection.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you that you send angels to surround us.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you that you guide us when we don't know we need to be guided, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: And I even thank you that you've established government even to protect us on a practical level, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I need to read a verse for that.
SPEAKER_00: Some of y'all need some convincing.
SPEAKER_00: Romans 13, 3 through 4.
SPEAKER_00: For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right.
SPEAKER_00: But then those who are doing wrong.
SPEAKER_00: Would you like to live without fear of the authorities?
SPEAKER_00: Do what is right and they will honor you.
SPEAKER_00: The authorities are God's servants sent for your good.
SPEAKER_00: You know what's talking about governmental authorities?
SPEAKER_00: It's talking about all authority, but inclusive of governmental authorities.
SPEAKER_00: Our culture right now, you notice the culture of the world is going to be anti-what God is for.
SPEAKER_00: What are they doing?
SPEAKER_00: Coming as authorities.
SPEAKER_00: Do the math.
SPEAKER_00: But if you're doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you.
SPEAKER_00: They are God's servants sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you that you've established governmental institutions and authorities for our protection and for our good.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for them.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the police officers who give their time, who put their lives on the line to protect us.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, we thank you for every form of government that is there for our protection.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for our military.
SPEAKER_00: I was there in San Diego this week and I saw all these military boats, aircrafts.
SPEAKER_00: We have no idea how much is going on behind the scenes to protect us.
SPEAKER_00: I remember seeing, we did this, I'm a computer engineer, okay?
SPEAKER_00: So we're into networking security.
SPEAKER_00: I looked at these stats.
SPEAKER_00: They have these routers and firewalls that's protecting, like guarding stuff trying to come into our nation.
SPEAKER_00: It's insane the millions and trillions of attempted attacks, internet attacks from other countries into our nation that's being blocked.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes we have no idea all the things put in place for our protection, so we can sit here and just enjoy going to the store, just be government, Lord, and that that's there for our protection, Father.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for that.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for your angelic protection.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for the protection of your presence.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Lord, that even I even we just rebuke a spirit of fear.
SPEAKER_00: Understand if God wants to protect you, you're protected.
SPEAKER_00: If God wants to allow some things to happen to you, it's for his glory.
SPEAKER_00: That's the hard thing about persecution.
SPEAKER_00: There's some things God will allow.
SPEAKER_00: God allowed Stephen to be stoned and die.
SPEAKER_00: It's for his glory.
SPEAKER_00: Stephen went to a much better place.
SPEAKER_00: Amen?
SPEAKER_00: But we do not have to live in fear.
SPEAKER_00: Grace and mercy.
SPEAKER_00: Mercy and grace.
SPEAKER_00: Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed, for his compassion never fails.
SPEAKER_00: They are new every morning.
SPEAKER_00: Grace your faithfulness.
SPEAKER_00: Ephesians 2 8 through 9.
SPEAKER_00: For it is by grace you have been saved through faith.
SPEAKER_00: It is not from yourself, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.
SPEAKER_00: Hebrews 4 16, let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we can may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, we thank you for mercy and grace.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the things that we've received that we do not deserve.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for your love that we do not deserve.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you that you've called us.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you that you've chosen us, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you that we do not have to experience the punishment that we are due.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you that we're qualified for things that we do not feel like we're qualified for.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for favor, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Romans 2, 4 says, Um, don't you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you?
SPEAKER_00: I've been thanking God every day.
SPEAKER_00: This helps with the critical spirit.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you that you're patient with me.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: I'm what what I realize is that that I'm a very guilty sinner, that my heart is wretched, that I've got issues, and I come before the Lord and I thank Him for mercy.
SPEAKER_00: And all the things that I want to get, I want to get the I want to look at the specks in other people's eyes, and it's really freeing to look at the log in your own eye and admit that before the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I've got this major log in my eye.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for mercy.
SPEAKER_00: The point of us recognizing our sin is not for us to get feel condemnation and run from the church and never step into what God's called us to be.
SPEAKER_00: It's to allow God to deal with it and then us get up and do something with our life.
SPEAKER_00: If all you do is beat yourself up, I'm just a failure, I'm a failure, stop doing that.
SPEAKER_00: First thing it's annoying, we're all failures, and God gives us mercy and grace so we can do something.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: None of us are going to reach perfection until we're standing in front of Him face to face.
SPEAKER_00: If you think you have, you're just deceived.
SPEAKER_00: You're spiritually prideful.
SPEAKER_00: Just put that on the altar.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I'm sorry for being spiritually prideful.
SPEAKER_00: That's one of the things I put on the altar.
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry, Lord, that I'm spiritually prideful.
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry that I think that I'm better than others.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I'm sorry that I do things for my own gain.
SPEAKER_00: Be honest with him.
SPEAKER_00: But thank him for mercy and grace.
SPEAKER_00: That will help deal with the critical spirit.
SPEAKER_00: Spiritual pride is a cancer of this region.
SPEAKER_00: I need y'all to hear this.
SPEAKER_00: It's a spiritual pride.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus, this Pharisees had spiritual pride.
SPEAKER_00: That's what he was trying to come against.
SPEAKER_00: Your whitewashed tombs, you think the outside is glowing and looks right, but the inside is dirty, full of decay.
SPEAKER_00: Revival's coming to this church, but this church is going to say, Lord, we want you to clean the inside.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Lord, I thank you for your mercy and grace.
SPEAKER_00: I already prayed over that.
SPEAKER_00: Let's move on.
SPEAKER_00: Calling.
SPEAKER_00: This is uh God's plans.
SPEAKER_00: If he's called you, he's given you the ability.
SPEAKER_00: If he's called you, he's equipped you.
SPEAKER_00: God's calling for your life, and God's plan for your life is gonna be bigger and gonna be more than you're gonna be able to do on your own.
SPEAKER_00: So fear is gonna be involved, intimidation is gonna be involved, and learning to overcome that and trust the Lord that in your weakness, that's the point.
SPEAKER_00: If you think your calling is something that you're able to do on your own, it's probably not God, it's probably just your own doing.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: God calls you.
SPEAKER_00: If you don't think you're important enough for a calling, that is a lie of the enemy.
SPEAKER_00: Because God does not want you to walk in your calling.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Jeremiah 20, 11, for I know the plans I have for you.
SPEAKER_00: This is God.
SPEAKER_00: I know the plans I have for you.
SPEAKER_00: This tells us two things God knows, and also God has plans.
SPEAKER_00: And He has them for us.
SPEAKER_00: It's not us steering the ship anymore.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: When I don't know, you do.
SPEAKER_00: Beautiful.
SPEAKER_00: When I don't know, you do.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
SPEAKER_00: That would put a lot more peace in your life.
SPEAKER_00: When I'm dead when I'm battling with uncertainty and fear, thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: I'm uncertain.
SPEAKER_00: That must mean I'm walking in faith.
SPEAKER_00: Because faith is the evidence of things that we don't see, but the things we hope for.
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes God's going to take the thing that's opposite of your natural like personality.
SPEAKER_00: It's like people that are shy sometimes get called to public speak and minister.
SPEAKER_00: That wasn't the case with me at all.
SPEAKER_00: I was like, Lord, I'm ready.
SPEAKER_00: But I've seen this.
SPEAKER_00: My wife is a great example.
SPEAKER_00: She's someone that never really wants the spotlight.
SPEAKER_00: Like it, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_00: Get together, she's like shy from it, but yet God calls her to be on platforms in front of thousands.
SPEAKER_00: I think it's so funny.
SPEAKER_00: So I want us to understand, God loves to do that.
SPEAKER_00: Moses, he couldn't even really talk well.
SPEAKER_00: And God's like, I'm calling you to be the voice of a nation.
SPEAKER_00: It's beautiful.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for your callings.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for your plans, your purposes.
SPEAKER_00: If God has put you in situations that seem too hard for you, good.
SPEAKER_00: That was intentional.
SPEAKER_00: Because he's going to teach you to trust in him.
SPEAKER_00: He's going to teach you to seek him for the grace to do what you need to do.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for your calling.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the abilities that you give us.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you for the power.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I even thank you, Lord, when we're intimidated.
SPEAKER_00: You can give us boldness through your spirit.
SPEAKER_00: You can give us the ability to do things that we never thought we'd be able to do on our own, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: So I thank you that you have called us.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you, Lord, that we are valuable to you, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: That you have a plan for every one of our lives.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for that you have a plan.
SPEAKER_00: Even when we don't have a plan, even when we're searching for a plan, you know the plan.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you that your intention is to lead us along the plan.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you that you have mercy and grace.
SPEAKER_00: When we don't always get us right, get it right.
SPEAKER_00: You get us back onto the plan.
SPEAKER_00: And we thank you, Lord, that you've equipped us and given us the ability to fulfill your plan.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Freedom, this is a big one.
SPEAKER_00: Many people have given their life and sacrifice so we can do this today and not worry, have to have to worry about being imprisoned.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, we thank you for the freedom that we have.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the people that have given their lives that have paid the price so that we could worship freely.
SPEAKER_00: A big thing right now is to attack America.
SPEAKER_00: This is one of the best, this is one of the best nations in the world, okay?
SPEAKER_00: It's to attack America to try to undermine it, try to undermine like the history of it.
SPEAKER_00: I'm not falling for that.
SPEAKER_00: Listen, we live in a wonderful, blessed nation, and many people gave their lives so we can experience freedoms that other people don't have.
SPEAKER_00: Plain and simple.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: If you don't like America, just move somewhere else and stop complaining.
SPEAKER_00: You're annoying.
SPEAKER_00: I don't care.
SPEAKER_00: Go somewhere else.
SPEAKER_00: We don't care.
SPEAKER_00: Go somewhere else.
SPEAKER_00: But don't come and live and enjoy the benefits of this beautiful nation and then complain about it.
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna read a Proverbs, and I don't care if I offend people.
SPEAKER_00: Proverbs 18, too.
SPEAKER_00: It says, Fools have no interest in understanding.
SPEAKER_00: They only want to air their own opinions.
SPEAKER_00: That's what we have a lot going on.
SPEAKER_00: When you talk about our nation, when you burn a flag, you're a fool because you don't understand.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, thank you for this wonderful nation that we get to live in.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you that I don't live in a nation, Lord, where I'm gonna be worried for my life when I just want to come to church.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for the joy that we get to have for all the wonderful freedoms and the blessings, God.
SPEAKER_00: Your name.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Revival.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I thank you for the revival that started in people's hearts.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you that it's starting, but I thank you that it's coming in greater measure.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, we thank you for the harvest that's coming in.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the souls that are going to be saved, that people are gonna be set to free.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for deliverance.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you, thank you for signs and wonder signs and wonders, miracles, healing, God.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Y'all please stand.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for restoration, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, we thank you for this season, we thank you for this time, we thank you for the joy, the peace, and the blessing of this season, God.
SPEAKER_00: I pray over this church as they go out, Lord.
SPEAKER_00: You know where they're going, you know the environments they're going into.
SPEAKER_00: I pray that you cover them, that you'd equip them.
SPEAKER_00: I thank you that you're gonna give them the words to say, that you're gonna cover them in peace.
SPEAKER_00: We speak the peace of God, the joy of the Lord.
SPEAKER_00: We say no weapon formed against them shall prosper.
SPEAKER_00: We say that they are light going into the dark, Lord, that they're bringing healing, they're bringing power, Lord, they're bringing prophecy, they're bringing words of knowledge, Lord, they're bringing discernment, Father, but they're most importantly bringing the love of God.
SPEAKER_00: And I pray that this would be a time of protection over their families, their homes, their households, their health.
SPEAKER_00: We rebuke every form of sickness, we rebuke every um, ooh, contending spirit, anything that would bring division, Lord, bitterness, unforgiveness.
SPEAKER_00: We rebuke it right now in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: We come against and we say they're camouflage from familiar spirits.
SPEAKER_00: Pause real quick.
SPEAKER_00: Open your eyes and look at me.
SPEAKER_00: This is important.
SPEAKER_00: This is something that we do.
SPEAKER_00: This is something that Pastor Sharon has taught.
SPEAKER_00: This is something we've taught, okay?
SPEAKER_00: We camouflage ourselves.
SPEAKER_00: Now, this is not a term you're gonna see in the Bible, but it's the tactic.
SPEAKER_00: We camouflage ourselves from familiar spirits.
SPEAKER_00: Um, familiar spirits are demonic assignments to your generations, your bloodline, your family.
SPEAKER_00: And what has happened is they've been around since your great-great grandparents, they've been they've been assigned to your family, so they're aware of your family history, they're aware of your history, they're aware of your weak spots, your trigger points, okay?
SPEAKER_00: So, what they'll do is when we're set free, like we're delivered, we're walking in freedom, we don't have those issues anymore.
SPEAKER_00: What happens is we'll go into familiar territory with family that's not set free yet, that still has the issues.
SPEAKER_00: And what happens is those demons, those assignments, know our weak points.
SPEAKER_00: They know our history, so what they'll do is they'll operate through, y'all with me, the family, to get us.
SPEAKER_00: Their assignment is to stop us.
SPEAKER_00: Do y'all notice sometimes like you're walking to freedom and joy and you go to a family event and they say that one thing, and all of a sudden you're wrecked?
SPEAKER_00: Angry.
SPEAKER_00: Do y'all know what I'm talking about?
SPEAKER_00: Understand, a lot of times it could be demonic in nature.
SPEAKER_00: So what we'll do is we'll camouflage.
SPEAKER_00: Lord, we say that we're camouflage from familiar spirits, and we say that they cannot talk to us or mess with us or talk to or mess with anyone we come in contact with.
SPEAKER_00: And it works.
SPEAKER_00: I'm not kidding.
SPEAKER_00: You may think I'm over spiritual, fine, keep going about your way.
SPEAKER_00: But if you want breaks in this area, do it.
SPEAKER_00: Say it.
SPEAKER_00: There's life, there's life and death in the tongue.
SPEAKER_00: Say it.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: We say we're camouflaged from the demonic assignments.
SPEAKER_00: We say that these familiar spirits cannot talk to us or mess with us, or talk to or mess with anyone we come in contact with.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so Lord, go.
SPEAKER_00: I pray they go in peace and blessing in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: We love you.
SPEAKER_00: Have a wonderful time.
SPEAKER_00: No church this Wednesday.
SPEAKER_00: Actually, there's no church the rest of the year on Wednesdays.
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
SPEAKER_00: We're taking a break.
SPEAKER_00: We're having we just felt led to do it that way.
SPEAKER_00: No church on Wednesdays until the new year.
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
SPEAKER_00: We love you.
SPEAKER_00: Have a good time.
SPEAKER_00: Eat tons of turkey or pizza, whatever, ice cream.
SPEAKER_00: Love it.
SPEAKER_00: See ya.
