The war or the enmity is between Satan and the woman and her seed.
To this day,
he's still after the woman that enmity is a mutual hatred that we have with him
and he hates us just as much, but it's our children.
And now we got a cause. This is our cause.
As King David even said, isn't there a cause?
Yes, there's not a cause. Yeah, that's right. And it awakened me.
God promises in Joel 2 28 to pour out his spirit on all humanity.
Welcome to Global Outpouring where we contend for that promise outpouring.
We equip for that outpouring so that we may engage in that very outpouring.
I'm Philip Buss and I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to the podcast today.
We have with us a very special guest, Patricia Arenas,
and she has been operating in the spirit of God
being moved by the Lord to do spiritual warfare.
She has been contending for the outpouring in many,
many ways.
And she's going to share with us some of the things that the Lord has shown her
and encourage you to do the things that the Lord shows you to do.
We're so glad that you're with us today. Before we get started,

So today we have with us Patricia Arenas and Patricia,
we just want to welcome you to the Global Outpouring Podcast.
Thank you. It's great to be here.
So you've been a believer for a while and,
but how were you raised? Were you raised in a Christian home?
I was not.
What was it like?
Well, you know, we were born and raised Catholic and I really didn't pursue,
you know, even though we were raised Catholic,
I never really went to church, you know, our family, you know,
unfortunately it was some dysfunction. You know, our,
our mother passed away very, very young, unfortunately from alcoholism.
So it was a broken family and through all of that,
you know, I really just kind of grew up on my own.
I had siblings and we were very close and still are to this day,
but there was spousal abuse and because of this,
so didn't know anything better, you know,
and I just continue to just move forward with my life.
So I left home about 14 and lived with my sister and she was a few years older
than me, about six. And you know,
I finished high school and got into the military.
Which branch?
I was army. Army.
So what did you do in the military? What did you do in the army?
Well, you know, if it wasn't for my sister, you know,
she's the one who went in first and so she told me about it.
Just, I was 17 years old and I was a Christian.
And you know, being brought up in a very small, you know, city,
I'm actually from New Mexico.
What happened was I wanted to get away from all of how I was brought up and stuff.
So I joined at 17.
My mother and father actually signed for me to go in.
Wow. What year was that?
That was 1979 is when I signed up.
And 1980, I actually went into basic training thinking,
oh, I'll just sign up for six years.
It gets me away from from home.
You know, that was my intent.
But I ended up staying 20 years.
Wow. I'm retired. You made a career out of it.
I sure did. And that's the story in itself.
But you can crack a pretty good whip, I'm sure.
Oh, yes. Yes.
And that was good training for what you do now.
Absolutely. Not knowing, but noticed to me that that was what was going to happen.
I just I really enjoyed being in the military.
So not only did I join the Army,
I actually got a job with the Department of Defense there.
And I came back home and it was with the National Guard.
So I stayed there until I retired both from the military and from the civilian.
It was a civilian job.
Wow. Yeah.
So I was very fortunate and I was able to stay home because I really did love my home.
And that's when I met the Lord.
Yeah, that was my next question.
So tell us about how you met the Lord.
Were you still in the military when you met him?
Yes, absolutely.
In fact, you know, my mother passed away very young because of the alcoholism.
And she was 51 years old.
And she passed away like May 28th, gosh, 1981.
I was only 19.
And my father being, you know, like I said, we were born and raised Catholic.
He would always have a memorial service for her every single year on that day.
And it kind of goes on with a little bit of the background of how I got saved.
My father got very ill in 1996.
It was 15 years after my mother's passing and he never remarried.
But what was so I started seeing something but not quite knowing what it was.
But it was a miracle not knowing that's what it was.
But my father passed away on May 28th, 1996, 15 years to the day of my mother's death.
Wow.
And even to this day, I still feel.
And I was involved with a gentleman.
He was in the military with me, was not married at the time.
And when my father got sick, he wasn't around.
And I was like, okay, what's going on here?
And we had been very, very close.
And finally I asked him and he said, I have cancer.
And it was like two years after my father's death that we got married.
And he passed away in 1998.
It was April 12, 1998.
And things started happening.
I started seeking because I was like, why is this happening to me?
And thank God for some friends that were in the military with us.
Came to pray in the hospital room with his name was Michael.
And at that time, I was already getting a stirring from the Holy Spirit.
So he passes away April 12, 1998.
And two weeks later, I was at a Bible study.
And they asked, I told him my story.
I just buried my husband and they said, would you like to receive Jesus?
As your Lord and Savior at this by and I said, yes, I mean, I was broken.
Completely broken.
He was my best friend.
So of course they laid hands on me.
I really, none of my family had ever been to a Bible study in such a fashion
or gone to any other church.
So when I went, I sensed something, but I didn't know what that something was.
And then I got home and I went to the National Guard.
And that's where I worked.
And all of a sudden, I worked in the basement, no windows, oops, one door.
And I go in and they had given me a Bible.
And I looked and I opened it just like an ordinary book.
And from the first page and I looked up and I was reading it and I said,
I don't even know how to pray to you.
This wind came from nowhere.
There was no air conditioning on.
I was the only one in the room, but it was.
Wow.
And I fell on my face on the ground and I started speaking in another language.
And the only time I ever heard that was the night before at this Bible study,
but I didn't question it.
I just I left it alone.
And I was thinking to myself just am I going crazy?
You know, my husband's gone.
My dad passed away.
Am I losing it?
That's what I thought.
And I heard him say, you are praising me.
And I said, you are really real.
He made himself real to me, even to this day.
I remember the exact day, the moment.
It was April 24th, 1998.
And I remember just distinctly saying, I want to walk where you walk.
I want to know who you are.
I don't even know who this king of the Jews is.
I didn't not really.
And I was in Israel June 1998 for the first time of my life.
He sent me there.
It was very fast.
And I started learning about just the feast and just different things that I didn't know
about Israel.
And I fell in love.
So I was never a very good Catholic, but I didn't know what I really was.
And now I was just a believer.
But one of the things that I can honestly say was my friends, if it wasn't for my friends
and I said, I don't know what's going on with me.
They said, well, just come to the church that we go to.
Well, the church happened to be a charismatic church.
And it was a deliverance church.
So I was delivered so many things.
So I believe that, you know, he needed to clean me, you know, clean me up, get me ready.
But I still it was still a process all along, even now.
It's still a process.
But that's how there's just no doubt in my mind whatsoever that I'm born again.
I have received the Holy Spirit and I live for him.
I want to know him more.
I mean, I'm literally in love with him and I just I want to continue.
And so my family, not knowing what was going on, my older sister was very concerned.
And so she followed me to the church I was going to because she thought I was in a cult.
So she goes with me.
And guess what happens?
She got born again.
Glory to God and her, her, her daughter and another niece.
And then my other sister was just like, well, if you're going to, you know, my, my daughter
is going and I don't know where she's going.
She said, if it was me, she said, it's OK.
But now you're messing with my, my children.
So she goes to a Bible study and guess what happens?
So all this time.
time they are still serving the Lord just like I am. I'm just a little bit more outward
going where they've been home, but they're like my main intercessors. They're wonderful
and they just love when I go and do things like this and they're constantly praying for
me and to do, they know I'm just pioneering for the family and they're there just in the
home front, that's our base, right? And praying for the rest of the family to come to know
the Lord Jesus.
So there are still more that need to come in yet.
Oh yes, yes, yes, definitely. But they listen to us now, they see that we've been adamant
with our walk. We have been constant and they're coming around and we just do not give up.
But we were the first fruits of our family.
Beautiful, beautiful. Especially, it's especially strong when there's a big change.
Was there a big change in your attitude and your character?
My goodness, when I said that I was delivered of many things, my husband and I, we had a
wonderful life. I mean, we had everything. I had a beautiful home, we had vehicles, we
had friends, but we had the party life. That was our life. And it was good, I thought.
You know, we had everything. It really was until all of a sudden, you know, my father
goes home and now my best friend, my husband, and I just like, I was devastated. And the
Lord came into my life and I was never the same. And the testimony I would just immediately
would just go tell people. I was like, that's a Maritime woman. And then I was reading the
Word. I was so hungry because I've never knew the Word. But I started questioning, did my
husband know?
Yeah, I was going to ask, did you get any...
Well, you know, it was difficult because, you know, even the church I was going to,
well, did he say the sinner's prayer? Do you know? I was like, I don't know. I don't think
so. I started getting a fear and I thought, how can I live, you know, knowing that I'm
saved and he's not? And I would get just different things from different people. And I finally
just, you tell me. You show me. And a couple of things that he gave me, the Lord, the Holy
Spirit, he just said, I am compassionate to whom I will be compassionate to, which touched
my heart. But the one I would say, and I know it's about Jesus, but he says, if a seed does
not fall down and die, it cannot be fruitful. And it was through Mike's death that my family
came. And my family loved him. He was such a good man. I said, Lord, I know you saved
him because he never complained once, even as much pain that he was in. He never, and
I took care of him those last six months of him going home and he never was angry. He
was never angry with God. He just, he just accepted what was going on. And I couldn't
understand that because I wasn't yet born again yet. But the Lord with his grace allowed
me to take care of him. And I said, I don't even know if I was a good enough wife because
we weren't married very long. And he says, if you fed me when I was hungry, if you have
clothed me when I was naked, if you took care of me when I was sick, then you've done it
to the least of my brethren. That's all I needed to hear from him. And I was satisfied
with that answer. I didn't have to go back in my mind over and over. Is he saved? Is
he not saved? Is my family saved? I just trusted. There's nothing that I could have done. I
couldn't change anything. I just had to accept that this was my life now. And I've been serving
the Lord 25 years with my sisters. And we came in in Jubilee. We always call ourselves
the Jubilee sisters. Because you know, of course, 1948, which I didn't know at the time,
50 years later, here is 1998. Israel became a nation. Right? So all of these things were
just like dropping upon us and then getting Isaiah 61. Reading Luke 14, you know, and
other people started talking about it. I said, Whoa, this is what they're talking about.
That's me. You know, so I knew he was speaking to me individually. Yes. That no one can change
my mind. I know that I know. Amen. And even if there's how can you believe in this? Jesus,
how can I not? He made himself real to me and no one can take that away. Very true.
And that's the contending. Yes. Contending for what you know is truth. And you know that
you know, when he speaks to you in that fashion, there is a God. Absolutely. He makes himself
real to you. Yes. Amen. And that's all I needed. And then I would speak that way to my family,
to my friends, and they would just, they would gravitate to that. The scriptures would just
flow out. And I was just like, this is not even me. They knew that because I was a partier.
I was always out. I had to leave my friends because I knew if I didn't, I would have gone
back to that life. So I even left my job. Wow. Yeah. I took a sabbatical and I started
going to actually a school of ministry every, every year. It was in Mount Carmel. I don't
know if you know of it. I'm in Mount Carmel with David Davis. I know he's gone to be with
the Lord now. Oh yeah. Yes. Yes. In Israel. In Israel. Yes. The Lord would send me over
there and I would go. And. Can you not come out? Yes. That's the one. And still go to
this day every so often whenever we have a chance to go to Israel. So when we spoke earlier
about Israel, it was just like, look at what the Lord does. I love it. He gives us just
that knowledge of who he is and where he's from. And we need to know that because that's
our spiritual heritage, which I didn't know. I didn't know about Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
We didn't read those stories. I thought Samson and Delilah was just a movie or even Moses
because we never read the word of God. Yeah. We weren't brought up in that way to read
the word of God. In fact, some of the stories would say, if you read the word, you're going
to go crazy. Oh, wow. That's what they would literally, I mean, my sisters would say the
same thing. We're just like, this is weird. But now I can't, I can't stop. Well, you know,
from their point of view, you did go crazy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. In fact, yes, crazy for
him. Amen. And we've been serving him ever since. And that's what our family sees to
this day. We never went back. Beautiful. Never. Glory to God. So how did the Lord start leading
you into spiritual warfare? Obviously, if you've been in a church that teaches deliverance
and practices deliverance, you're already kind of getting on that track. So tell us
a little more about what happened next. Well, it would have to be back to when I was born
again. I kind of skipped that. But I was in that room. And when I was in that room, when
I first had the encounter with the Lord, a name came forth. And I had never heard this
name before, honestly. And the because I was I was praying in tongues, but in a foreign
language, not knowing that it was literally Hebrew. I didn't know that until a few years
later. But the name that came forth was Elijah. And you had no idea who that was? No. So I
literally, you know, I go to the word, I believe it was the leading of the Holy Spirit, because
I even asked him, you know, first of all, I was like, I don't know how to pray to you.
I start speaking in tongues. I literally just opened the word just randomly. And he takes
me to Romans eight. Oh, wow. Yes. I didn't know. And that's because I had never honestly,
I opened it just like a regular book that day to start reading it just from Genesis
on. I had never opened up the Bible. And I was how old was I then? I was already in my
30s. I was in my 30s. So I go to Romans eight. And I love to read that. And what he showed
me was this. And this is Romans eight. And I'm going to start with verse 24. For we were
saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For why does one still hope for
what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
Likewise, the spirit, I remember I felt that wind still not knowing also helps in our weaknesses.
For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought. But the spirit himself makes
intercession for us with groanings, which cannot be uttered. He was doing that in me.
That was my first experience of the Lord. And he gave me the confirmation of what was
going immediately. Because I said, what am I doing? What is this? He opened up the word
and I read that and I said, I'm in the presence of a living God. I fell to the ground and
I stayed there for quite some time, just weeping and weeping and weeping and weeping. I don't
know how long I was there, but I believe that's what started this utterance. And like I said,
Elijah came forth when I was praying. So I thought, is there a person? Is it a name?
What is it? So, you know, they gave me a study Bible and it was just the Holy Spirit because
I really didn't know. So I go and I noticed about Elijah. So I went and I looked in the
concordance and there was a name there. And I go, guess where? Where did our brother just
are? That was just having a teaching on Friday night. First Kings chapter 19. That's why
I would go to the school of ministry up in Haw Carmel because he had given that and it
was about warfare immediately. So I was saying, why am I getting this? Who is this prophet?
Because I started reading and I was interested. He took me immediately to this battle that
had nothing to do with me. It was all these thousands of years ago. And I said, why am
I learning this? And I stayed there. And that's how he taught me how to not only contend for
my, you know, he says, work out your deliverance daily with fear and trembling. And that's
even to this day, it's still fearful and trembling because he's still dealing with some stuff.
And coming up here, 25 years later, I'm coming through Tulsa and something happens in my
spirit. And I told the gal that came up with me, we have to stop here. I don't know what's
going on, but I was having a deliverance and it had to do with my mother's background.
She used to always say, but we always kept it hush that we had some native American blood
because I was brought up Hispanic in a Hispanic home. So it was like, we didn't know about
our native culture or where we just always thought, oh my gosh, she said that our grandmother
may have been Pueblo Indian. But something happened as I was coming through Tulsa just
this past week and there I was weeping and weeping because I believe he's trying the
Holy Spirit to reveal something in order for me to go to the next place in my walk of contending
and for me to be equipped. And I know it has to do with my, yes, my DNA, but the land because
we're so connected with the land that I know that that's why he's been teaching me and
my background in the military helps even though he had to, he's teaching me as my trainer,
but there's things in our military that you know, you learn and that's what helped me
to be equipped. I think possibly quicker. There was things that I had to be untaught.
Definitely. But he's also teaching through his word because he's a mighty man of war.
Right? And reading through it, I just gravitated to Ephesians six. I understood it. I gravitated
to second Chronicles 20, you know, where these battles and you know, King David with Goliath,
it was like, it was my story, but it was my history, my spiritual history, which I didn't
know and that's what the Lord was training me up. These are your patriarchs and your
matriarchs not knowing that that's who they were. Father Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You've
been grafted in. And I've been grafted in. Wow. Through the blood of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Amen. So he kept teaching you and teaching you and then what did you eventually start
to do? Oh gosh, I would say when I left the military, I retired military, but I left my
civilian job just like a sabbatical, not knowing when I would go back. But I would say immediately
he's just started sending me not only to Israel, but I started just getting involved in different
war, not necessarily spiritual warfare, but the prophetic. I think it was through the
prophetic that I started really realizing there's something more with these gifts. So
through the gifts, I could see that there was a part of me that wanted to learn more
about warfare. What did that mean? You know, and of course he took me to second Corinthians
10, four and five, which I would love to go to. And that was another part because I was
getting such deliverance and I needed to understand what was happening in my life because I couldn't
go to my sisters. I couldn't go to my brothers because I was like the pioneer and even getting
deliverance for our family line. Like for instance, before I read that scripture, when
my sisters and I came in, we realized because we were in this deliverance ministry, we as
the three sisters broke that curse of alcoholism. And to this day, we do not drink even when
we come as a family with different functions, none of the children or grandchildren, ours,
don't want to drink. You know, and we tell them, you know how we were brought up not
to make them fear, but just to realize, look what the Lord has done. He broke this curse
off our family and to die so young. And I'm 61 now. And all of us have surpassed my mother's
age when she passed. So that in itself to me is a miracle. But I'd like to go to 2 Corinthians
chapter 10 and it talks about the spiritual war. So this is, I know I'm not unique. I
believe this is how the Lord teaches us, all of us. And I'm sure you all have your same
stories of how he took you to this particular scriptures, because we need to know what is
going on when these things happen. And he says, I would say I'm going to start with
verse one and it's talking about now I Paul, and we know it's the apostle myself and pleading
with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ who in presence am lowly among you,
of being absent and bold toward you. But I beg you that when I am present, I may not
be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be whole bold against some who think of
us as if we walked according to the flesh. But first three, for though we walk in the
flesh and you always walking in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. I was
like, what does that mean? I still didn't understand about your flesh and the carnality
and now I'm in the spirit that I had to build up my spirit, man. I didn't know I was still
just a babe. I mean, I was 36 when I came to the Lord and I was like, but I was still
a babe in the Lord. But this first four, for the weapons, I understood about weapons because
that's how we were trained in the military to understand your weapons of our warfare
are not carnal. Okay. But mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. I understood about
strongholds because that's what we're taught in the military. You know, there's, there's
that strong and there's that enemy. You've got to know who your enemy is. But I always
thought the enemy was that, that other, whether it was a person or that ideal or that country
that we were fighting against, whatever, but it's not that I finally realized who my true
enemy is. And when I found that out, it was no longer against people or whatever. It was
against Hassatan. He is the true enemy. So I knew I need to cast down these arguments
and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought
into captivity, into the obedience of Christ and being ready to punish all disobedience
when your obedience is fulfilled. I got it. And when I got that in my own mind, it was
still a process that even to this day, I'm still growing in that, but I'm not the same
as I was 25 years ago. I'm not the same, not even two months ago. I would even say even
from two days ago, Patricia is not the same woman. I know who I am. Hallelujah. I have
an identity in Christ Jesus and I know that I am a daughter of the most high God. I know
I have a purpose and his plan for me is good and not evil. And I think once we come to
that point, knowing who we are, who can be against us? No one can say any different.
I am solid. And we need that foundation. And I believe that's where we're being equipped.
And I started going to schools and going to prophetic schools, going to spiritual warfare
schools, because he had already showed me in the word, but I think being around people
and knowing their story, that's how we were being trained. And as here in global outpouring,
it's the same thing. I had to contend, which I was contending for my salvation through
the help of the Holy Spirit, but he was also equipping me. But then he brought others to
come alongside just like in the military. You have your battle buddies, you have your
team, and now we're engaging. And that's the part that I'm in right now. I've been equipped
and we're always being trained. But it's the engaging now, finding out others that are
doing the same thing as I'm doing. And there's how can I say there's victory in that. Now
we're getting confirmations. Oh, you're doing that? Oh, you're going on that assignment?
That's your mission? And I could see it unfold. And it is absolutely wonderful what the Lord
is doing. He made us for such a time as this. Absolutely. And it was the people before us
that prepared even for us to do what we're doing. So even in that, there's been a convergence
of the prayers before us, the mothers and fathers before us, all of this training. It's
not in vain. That's right. People have done. I wouldn't be here if somebody didn't pray
for me. It could have been my grandmother. It could have been my friends that brought
me to the Lord. But whatever it was, the Lord had somebody to get me into a place where
I would say, here I am. Beautiful. I want to be saved. Even though I didn't know I needed
to be saved. Right? So that's the story of Patricia. I mean, in a nutshell, but there's
so much more. You know, that 25 years worth of so many things that he does in our life.
So tell us how you found us. It's a good story. It's a very good story. Didn't know anything
about in time and maidens, of course, or Gwen Shaw, Sister Gwen. But I moved to Texarkana,
Texas. The Lord sent me there. I was supposed to be there for at least a good two, three
years. And this was because I went back into the military while working for the government.
And I had never left New Mexico before. But I went ahead and did. And it was a good thing
because I needed some healing. But I needed to leave something familiar. Because that's
where my roots are at. Right? So he pulled me from there. And it was through a mutual
friend that is from New Mexico, but she lived in Arkansas. That's where she was born and
raised. So it was like almost my last week to and I was going to be heading back home.
And we were both on a call and it was a prayer call. And I said, Well, I'm here in Texarkana,
but I'm going to be heading back home. She goes, Is that you Patricia? And I said, Who's
there? She said, Linda. And she said, Come on by to Arkansas. I want you to meet my mom
and come out here before you leave. So I said, Okay. So I drove from Texarkana, which is
about maybe two and a half, three hours, get to her home. And we just started talking one
night and she goes, Have you ever heard of Gwen Shaw or even Ruth Hefflin? And I said,
No, I never have. She goes, Wow, I've been thinking of going out there this weekend.
She said, Would you like to go and I'll contact the ladies that I do know there. And so she
contacted Margaret, one of the ladies here, and of course, contacted you all. And that's
how I came to know and this was this was, gosh, I think it was June or July of 2020.
Wow. Yeah, because I went back home in August of 2020. So it was still during, you know,
the time of COVID. And you I mean, there wasn't anyone here. It was a miracle to even have
come. Wow. And to meet you all. Yeah. And that's how we met. And after that, I just
decided, you know, this is something I want to be a part of the ministry and started learning
a little bit more about you all and, and got dedicated. And I've been dedicated, talking
to other women. In fact, the gal that I came with now, she said, she had met Sister Gwen
in New Mexico, a few years back. And that's where the gal that just got dedicated. Wow.
And she knew that this is something that she always wanted to do. So I drove her up here.
And here we are. Glory to God. Glory to God. Yes. Wow. It's been a blessing. Hallelujah.
It's been a blessing. So during that time of the lockdown, the Lord began to give you
some leadings. And I know that some of it is, you use the word stealth when you talk
about it. So, so it's not, it's not the kind of thing that, you know, you make, you, you
toot your horn about, but is there anything that you can share with us about the how the
Lord led you? Because I think maybe some of our listeners are feeling things and, and,
and they just need to know that this is normal. Right. It is. You know, being in military,
you know, if he tells you to go, you're going to go on that mission and you have to be mission
focused. I knew that in my mind, but I had never gotten a command or a marching order
from him directly because I knew he was still healing me, delivering me. I mean, you're
not going to send somebody out to, to war when they're not, you know, really ready,
even though I've been training up through the leading of the Holy spirit to go through
all of this warfare for me individually. But now he started bringing others alongside me.
And that's when I knew he was building up a team and it was just a team of three right
now. And then, and then there was other women that would pray with us, but we always called
ourselves, you know, the daughters of troops and that is in Micah five one. And it was
an identity. Yeah. It's not a ministry. It's not a, you know, anything, but who we are
as daughters. So if you go to Micah five one, which I would love to read, because there's
many women out there that think, what can we do? You know, and especially, you know,
we think, oh, we can't go to war. We've been going to war as women for a long time since
the beginning with Genesis, the, the war or the enmity is between Satan and the woman
and her seed. Right. To this day, he's still after the woman. That enmity is a mutual hatred
that we have with him and he hates us just as much, but it's our children. And now we
got a cause. Yes. This is our cause as King David even said, isn't there a cause? Right.
Yes. They're not a cause. Yeah, that's right. And it awakened me because when you're not
in that realm, you don't even know what Satan is doing with our children until you're awakened.
And now you're like, wait a minute. Now I'm in this war. Yeah. And now I choose to go
here. Nanny, here I am. Right. Amen. So I think in meeting these other women, they're
the grandmas, the great, I'm a great grandma. I might not sound like it, but you know, through
through my, my, my second husband, he had six children, but I won't go into all of that,
but his grandchildren call me grandma. And now we have about 12 great grandchildren.
Come on. He said in Isaiah 54, you who have never bore a child will have more than the
married woman. Look at that. He's done it. So when you read things like that, how can
you not have an identity? Right. So I'm going to go to Micah so we can, so we can kind of
see how he, he works with women, right? Yes. This is good. So Micah five one tells us now,
here we go. Now women, now is the time gather yourself in troops. This is a now word. And
this is from the Holy spirit speaking through me right now, because I could feel the unction
that now is the gather yourself in troops. Oh, daughter of troops. I'm speaking to you
daughters. He's speaking to you. He has laid siege against us. The enemy has laid siege
against us. He's taking our children and they're doing things that it's unimaginable, heinous
acts and we need to wake up and we need to gather now as those daughter of troops. So
that's what we started doing. These women just started coming around. We started praying
and the Lord sent us out. We just went to different places, you know, throughout different
parts of the country, really sending out on assignment, repenting, praying, even during
COVID. Yeah. He would just send us and we were fine. We went, we prayed, we repented.
And what does he say in second Chronicles? I mean, that was one of our, our, our heart
scriptures, you know, that when he spoke to us with that, and I want to, I want to go
there so you could see how the Lord speaks to all of us. Yes. And second Chronicles seven
14. If my people, yes, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and
pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven
and forgive their sins and heal their land. Powerful scripture. Two different things.
He forgives our sin, but he also heals our land. Yes. And that's what we've been needing,
especially where I'm from. And I know all of us can attest to that in any part, whether
it's Arkansas, whether it's New Mexico, we need healing in our land. And I believe that's
why the Lord needed me to understand a little bit more about my, my native side. Yeah. I
don't know it. I just know that there's something there. Yeah. And I need to embrace that now
because he wants to speak into that and he wants to heal and forgive our sin, but also
heal our land. A lot of atrocities happen when you know the conquistadors and there's
a lot of history and that's where the Lord takes us. He has us research. He has us go
into biblical research, but also our historical research so that we can get to the origin
as best as we can and pray, repent. So all I can tell you now is that there's water in
our land. The Rio Grande was very dry a year ago where you can literally walk across it.
Wow. That right now it's a raging river. This is one year everyone. And I know it's not
just us praying. This is people praying and prayers from the past. He's already starting
to flow. Amen. Amen. Another beautiful lake up close to Santa Fe. It's called Cochiti
Lake. My nephew just told me, cause they always go out there to boat and fish. He said where
the water was at before it's all the way up here now that they have to park even further
away when it was, you know what I mean? That it's so full. Glory to God. Prophetic what
God's going to do. Amen. So all those prayers, people coming, the prophetic words, that's
contending. He says to contend for your prophetic word, but for your land. Right. Amen. People
have come from Dutch Sheets and different people, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs, Gwen
Shaw. You, I believe both of you have come. Prophetic words have come forth, but now the
people of the land are prophetically speaking as well. And we're seeing the transformation.
Glory to God. We're engaging now. That's the importance of us being healed and delivered
and understanding about spiritual warfare so that we can come and take back what the
enemy has stolen from each and every one of us. That's the cause. Glory to God. And that's
the passion. And that's what he went to the cross for that we take back. That dominion
is ours. We speak into the land. Satan can't. He's a creative being, but we were made from
the dirt. We were made from the land. That's true. We have every authority to speak into
the land. Yes. Yes. Yes. Well, Patricia, would you please pray for our listeners to get them
if they're not already stirred up? I think they're probably stirred up just from the
way you're just, just releasing what the Lord has in you, but pray for them as the Holy
Spirit leads. Yes, absolutely. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Father. Thank
you, Jesus. We have sensed you so strong in this room right now. Father, not even knowing
what was going to happen, what was going to be said, but you have a word. You are the
voice. And he says, remember, remember, remember him that and his voice is thundering right
now. Everyone he says now is the time. Now it's time for us to open up our ears to hear
what the spirit of the Lord is saying. So father, we ask right now for all those that
are listening in to, to just unlock, to remove anything that might be staunching their, their
walk or, or stopping from them listening in remove a father. We repent of any deaf and
dumb spirits. Father, remove that from our hearing, remove that from our mouth. The enemy
is always trying to stop us from even engaging, engaging by voicing even the word of God into
the very atmosphere. We need to engage in that way. He is the voice of many waters.
He is the voice thundering and he is that voice that is speaking into your heart right
now. Each and every one of you listen, he is speaking even in that still small voice.
And father, we pray for each person that will listen in even later. Father, that this is
your time that you're not going crazy. You're not, you know, is this what's happening? Am
I really hearing right? Yes. He is speaking loud and clear. The Lord is with us. There's
more for us than there is against us. We will trample on snakes and scorpions and all the
power of the enemy. And by no means, no harm can come to you. Greater is he in us than
the one that's in the world. We need to believe that. And I want to go to, to Isaiah 54 because
Isaiah 54 speaks a blessing for us as mothers, as fathers, as the bride, the bride of Messiah,
because she's making herself ready. Amen. And he's preparing our children. They're coming
back from the borders. They're coming back home, all of them. And we need to be celebrating.
Let us celebrate because our children are coming back from the enemy's camp. We're taking
them back. Yes. But he says here, Oh, you afflicted one. You've been afflicted. All
of us. The enemy has tossed us to and fro with his tempest and we were not comforted.
But behold, he says, I will lay your stones with colorful gems and lay your foundations
with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of crystal and all your
walls of precious stones. 13 Isaiah 54, 13, all your children. I've never had, I never
bore a child from my own womb, but we have spiritual children. And I speak into each
and every one of you. You have spiritual children and all of your natural children shall be
taught by the Lord and great shall be the peace of your children. Yes. This is his word.
Yes. Believe it, trust it, know it. He is not a man that he would lie. He is our husband.
How much more will he give his bride, his wife? Yes. How much even up to half of his
kingdom. Amen. And if he says this, then it is true. I believe it. And we should all believe
because he is the true and living God and he will accomplish it. And the one word that
he did when I first opened my word today and I'll end with this and he says in Jeremiah
chapter one, this is the first he says, then the Lord said to me, he's saying to all of
you that are listening in, you have seen well for I am ready. Yes. The Lord is ready to
perform his word. Yes. Yes. Amen. He is ready. It is now. This is the time and you take that
and you run with it because this is his word.
