real inspiration. 3 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,840 This podcast is for those not looking for temporary relief to change circumstance, but 4 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,920 revelation to forever change lives. 5 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,720 Hey welcome to another episode of Keep It 100 with Sean and Christa. 6 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,680 Hey everybody, so excited to be with you once again. 7 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:34,280 This is truly going to be a special episode because Christa and I and our entire team 8 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,840 have just come out of a phenomenal gathering that we've been telling you guys about Momentum 9 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,080 2024. 10 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:47,120 Some of you recall we had our first one in 2023 and then it just began all kinds of stuff. 11 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,120 We began to have monthly meetings. 12 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,200 We were planning Momentum 2024, but we had no idea what we were in for. 13 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,240 It really has been a sovereign work of the Lord and that is just so encouraging when 14 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,400 God moves in a way you just didn't expect you prayed for, right? 15 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,880 You believed for it, but then when you see it actually happen, that began in 2023 and 16 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,400 we're just seeing really just a deeper increase. 17 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,840 Like 2023 Momentum was absolutely incredible. 18 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,000 It was mind-blowing and I felt super changed. 19 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,960 And then Momentum 2024, the purity in the room, the presence of God in the room was 20 00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:26,640 so special and so incredible and we just went really, really deep. 21 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,960 So it felt again, very marking and I feel once again, like I did last year, I have a 22 00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:37,920 really hard time articulating all that God did because it was such a deep and layered 23 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,840 work that he did in the room with all of us. 24 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,000 It was so special. 25 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,040 You know, we had a phenomenal crowd of people that packed out. 26 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,640 We had to pull out more chairs. 27 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,200 We had people sitting in the risers and it just opened up. 28 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,360 And I would just love Chris to just to give a quick little recap of just what we experienced 29 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,840 and what we saw. 30 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,720 One of the things that I think was so important was the worship and people testified about 31 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,640 this boo that it was worship was just so Jesus centered, glory packed. 32 00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:10,160 People just felt this pure stream. 33 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,360 People over and over said the worship was so pure. 34 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,040 Didn't feel manufactured. 35 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,160 It was just so pure. 36 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,640 And it was like we were caught up during these times of worship. 37 00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:20,640 It's really true. 38 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:24,960 And I had an encounter with the glory of the Lord, a really unique encounter. 39 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,480 And I've actually never had an encounter like that. 40 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,720 And it was just a realm that opened up in the atmosphere. 41 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,720 And so what we experienced as a corporate body, it felt like everyone was having these 42 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,520 individual encounters and yet we were having one big corporate encounter. 43 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,480 And like Sean said, there was this collective unified agreement on the purity in the room 44 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,760 that there was no agenda. 45 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,280 But Jesus like Jesus was being glorified and it wasn't like anyone was trying to pull attention 46 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,680 to themselves. 47 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,240 It was simply God was in the room and we couldn't help but adore him. 48 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,240 Yes. 49 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:06,200 And we saw people just come and flood the altar's leg out before the Lord. 50 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,320 It was in that time that you could feel such faith in the room that there was a guy that 51 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,880 came on with crutches because of an injury to his leg that literally he got prayed for. 52 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,320 I think his service was starting worship was starting. 53 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,800 And I love it just some people prayed for him and he threw his crutches on the altar 54 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:27,400 and it stayed on the altar for the rest of the conference slash not conference gathering. 55 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,920 And I got a chance to talk to him at the end and hug him and take a picture selfie with 56 00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:31,920 him. 57 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:33,320 He just said, he got healed. 58 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,320 God touched him. 59 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,320 Come on. 60 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,320 I love that. 61 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,520 And it was so, it was so cool. 62 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,080 Like I don't know how I missed it. 63 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,920 I think I was just worshiping and I was so focused on Jesus. 64 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,840 I somehow missed it when the crutches crowd surfed and you there's a beautiful picture. 65 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,840 I have it on my social media. 66 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,920 So if you want to check it out, it's my last post. 67 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,040 And it really to me sums up how momentum felt. 68 00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:00,080 It was just this like joy, miracles, signs and wonders. 69 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,080 God of the impossible making it possible moment where Sean's holding the crutch with the biggest 70 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,520 smile like such a joy. 71 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,920 And I just felt like it summed it up. 72 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,120 It captured like, oh my gosh, we're living in the days where we're experiencing the fullness 73 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,240 of what God's intended for us to experience. 74 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:22,880 And I think so many of our faiths in that moment and just throughout momentum conference 75 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,640 was this reminder and maybe for some people, the light bulb went on for the first time 76 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,120 and that is the stuff is real. 77 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,680 God's real and the Bible is real. 78 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,920 The book of Acts is real. 79 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,360 Like God really does this. 80 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,360 Yes. 81 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,360 Freedom in the room. 82 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,360 People receive freedom. 83 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,360 So free. 84 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,360 There was deliverances throughout the conversation. 85 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,360 So many deliverances. 86 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,360 It was beautiful. 87 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,200 You knew they were getting set free. 88 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,200 Yes. 89 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,200 It was amazing. 90 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,200 We broke for souls. 91 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,080 I mean, I was sobbing, just crying out for the loss. 92 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,200 We were challenged in the area of using our voice. 93 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,600 Particularly we've got an opportunity to impact this nation and shape the narrative over a 94 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,600 generation. 95 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,280 We need to use our voice, voice of righteousness, the prophetic voice. 96 00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:08,400 We heard messages that just the hunger for the more. 97 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,600 We heard messages on just purity, on hearing the voice of God. 98 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,560 I mean, there were so many different things. 99 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,560 Our identity, the fact that our work is unfinished. 100 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:25,400 It's hard to put in the words, the variety of the way we were spoken to. 101 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,240 It was like the spirit of God just began to deal with all these different areas. 102 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,520 And then we culminated with your session, which is really what this episode is going 103 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:40,280 to be about because Christy, you shared a phenomenal session on just prophetic things 104 00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:43,280 that you felt like the Lord was sharing with you. 105 00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:46,720 And right before we jump into that part because I'm going to interview Christ and then I'm 106 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,720 going to share some stuff. 107 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,640 I just want you to know, I know many of you, you go, man, I wasn't able to make it to Momentum 108 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,640 2024. 109 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,680 I didn't do the live stream as of right now. 110 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:03,280 You can go on our website, SeanandchristaSmith.com and you can order all of the sessions 111 00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:04,840 from Momentum 2024. 112 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:11,360 And we literally just people weeping people talk to us from people that have been around 113 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,920 the faith for a while to new believers. 114 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:19,520 And they all said that it was just something that was so for them earth shattering, like 115 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,600 just something that they'll never be the same. 116 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,240 And so you're going to want to go on right now and you can get all of the sessions on 117 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,480 our website right now. 118 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,480 And so you want to do it. 119 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,480 So let's jump in this. 120 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,480 You ready for this? 121 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,480 Ready. 122 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,480 Let's do it. 123 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,680 I was listening to some guys talk about this and I just want to say this. 124 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,280 The guy made something, you know, in terms of a point, he made, he said something I thought 125 00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:41,680 was really profound. 126 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,800 He says, on one hand, not everybody has to have a brand new year word. 127 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,560 You know, like, I think there's a temptation that's like, Oh, it's 2024. 128 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,560 I got a prophecy. 129 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,560 I got to have a word. 130 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,560 Oh, it's going to be 2025. 131 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,560 I got to have a word. 132 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,280 But at the same time, it doesn't negate the fact that God doesn't want to speak and is 133 00:06:58,280 --> 00:06:59,280 speaking to us. 134 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:02,280 And I could truly say, listen to your message and knowing you. 135 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:06,480 You really have a bead on the word of the Lord. 136 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,360 So Christa, I just want to begin by asking you one of the things that you spoke about 137 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,960 in your message, as you began to speak about one of the things you saw God doing in this 138 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,200 next season was the midwife anointing. 139 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,000 Can you break that down and share with us what it is that God spoke to you as a release 140 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000 to that? 141 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,760 I heard the Lord say that this is a year of birthing and that I'm mantling the bride 142 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,600 with a midwife anointing. 143 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,400 I didn't understand the verb it's per se, but he took me through a study in scripture 144 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,800 and then he gave me a prophetic word to kind of break that down to really make that statement 145 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,280 that feels a bit abstract, a little bit more digestible. 146 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,760 And what I heard the Lord say is that because this is a year of birthing, I felt like the 147 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,920 Lord said, I'm raising up people in this hour with a midwife anointing that are going to 148 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,280 help birth this move of God that he's doing right now. 149 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,080 And I really believe that we're in a moment of a divine push and I'm going to kind of 150 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,920 break down what does that push mean and what does that look like in our lives. 151 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,520 But the Lord then reminded me that when something's birthed, imagine a delivery room, there's 152 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:09,360 a cry that's released when something's getting birthed and it's raw, it's undignified, it 153 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,680 can make you uncomfortable. 154 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,960 If you're not comfortable with unusual noises, don't go near a delivery room because there's 155 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,000 all sorts of sounds. 156 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,040 There's all sorts of not your normal everyday sound. 157 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,880 You're like, whoa, I'm here in a location and in a place where something that is not 158 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,960 normally happening is happening. 159 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,840 When you're around something getting birthed, you're like, whoa, hold on, I've got to know 160 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:40,480 why I'm here and what I'm doing here because you feel the sensitivity of the location. 161 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,320 And I feel like that's true of the church right now. 162 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,640 Understand your assignment in this hour and understand the location that we're called 163 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,520 to walk in at this moment. 164 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,880 And I felt like the Lord says, what he's about to release this sound that we're going to 165 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,560 hear in the delivery room of revival, it will make you uncomfortable. 166 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:01,840 And it's going to press on every religious bone in the body of Christ. 167 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,000 And truth is, some of us may not even like it at first, right? 168 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,200 Because it's going to be loud, it's going to be messy, it's going to be radical. 169 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,760 But the push that I'm talking about that's going to happen in this delivery room of God, 170 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:13,920 it's going to bring order. 171 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,360 And it's actually going to push out anything that is not essential. 172 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,520 And what do I mean by that? 173 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,000 All the fluff, all the nonsense, all the things that we focus on that truly don't have eternal 174 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,400 value. 175 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,000 They are going to lose their pull or sway with us. 176 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,840 We're really just going to focus on what's actually really important, the undiluted gospel, 177 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:37,520 the presence of Jesus, worshiping and adoring him, praying, being intercessors, being watchmen 178 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,800 on the wall, and actually partnering with what God's doing and walking in the fullness 179 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,960 of what's available to us. 180 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,560 So when you push and you understand the assignment, all of a sudden the other things that used 181 00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:53,080 to seem so important distract you, take up your time and kind of just get you off focus 182 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,960 of who we are in God. 183 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,160 God's like, as you guys push into the things of what I'm doing, all that other stuff that 184 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,320 is not essential is actually going to just be pushed out of the way because when you're 185 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,600 in the delivery room of revival, when you're a midwife and the anointing, it brings a focus 186 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,960 to why you're doing what you're doing. 187 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,600 And God says, I'm bringing a focus to the church. 188 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,160 And that's why so many people have been battling a spirit of distraction. 189 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,840 I've asked so many people when I've been, when I've ministered or just in private conversation, 190 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,520 like when you are spending time with God or when you're trying to press in, like everything 191 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,440 you're supposed to cover that day, that week, that month, that year pops into your mind, 192 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,440 right? 193 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,440 Anyone relate to that? 194 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,160 Some of you listening or we're going, Christa, that's me. 195 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,120 I'm like, that's a spirit of distraction, but it just shows you God's actually going 196 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,560 to break that spirit of distraction and he's bringing a focus in 2024 to the church. 197 00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:44,440 Like we're going to really understand what we're about. 198 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,500 But I felt like the Lord says, as you press in, understand there at times will be resistance. 199 00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:53,600 But if you do not give way to their resistance, if you don't come underneath the, the, the 200 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,560 opposition, if you don't come underneath the criticism or what people think or that man 201 00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:03,440 pleasing, if you just stay true to what God has called you to birth in this season and 202 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,400 to be a midwife, and that is you being in position as a coach in the delivery room of 203 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,400 revival. 204 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,200 That's you sitting there looking at the people, the body of Christ, the church, the bride at 205 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:19,720 large, and you're actually in a position to encourage her to coach her and to call her 206 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,320 to a place of birthing. 207 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,880 And so what does that mean? 208 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,600 That means when she lags, you're like, come on, come on, get up, get up. 209 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,920 It's time to get up, mama. 210 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,400 And then it's time to push. 211 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,400 It's time to press in. 212 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,400 Nope. 213 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,400 Come on. 214 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,040 Don't, don't get stuck where the enemy wants you to get stuck. 215 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,040 Don't take the bait. 216 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,160 Don't get caught up in that narrative. 217 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,160 Don't get distracted. 218 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,160 Stay focused while you're here. 219 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:44,000 What you, what you carry, who you are, you are reminded you're in a position to remind 220 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,840 to declare, to pray through and to position, help position the body of Christ to birth 221 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,960 this move of God. 222 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:57,520 So I feel like the midwife anointing has a responsibility of intercession of declaration 223 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,920 and positioning in an area of authority. 224 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:06,240 And I was reminded of Exodus one, versus 13 through 15, were introduced. 225 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,960 The king of Egypt is addressing two midwives named Shifra and Pua. 226 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,080 And these two midwives, they were barren. 227 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,000 That's how a woman was designated and chosen to be a midwife. 228 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,960 It's because she could not have children of her own. 229 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,000 So here's this barren woman that is asked to have an assignment to bring life and to 230 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,840 help give life and to help these women birth what they're carrying in the natural. 231 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,440 But he gets intimidated of the, of the children of Israel. 232 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,440 And so where they were once friends, they're now viewed as enemy of the Egyptian people. 233 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,760 So if you're tracking with me, because the king is now intimidated by the children of 234 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,600 Israel, he now wants to create a genocide and he wants to go after the male baby. 235 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,160 So he calls these midwives in where their assignment up into this point has been to 236 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,160 give life. 237 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:58,280 He's saying, I want you actually to kill every male heir that's born. 238 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,680 But what he did not understand and what he fully underestimated was these two midwives 239 00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:04,880 feared God above him. 240 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:11,400 And so the king didn't understand that the fear of God is higher than the fear of a king 241 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:12,760 in the natural. 242 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,280 And so he thought he would have their buy-in because of his authority, because of his, 243 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,200 you know, clout in the natural. 244 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,080 But what I love is these women had a choice. 245 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,160 Who are they going to fear? 246 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,320 Are they going to fear the king? 247 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,480 Are they going to fear the king of kings? 248 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,800 And they chose to fear the king of kings. 249 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:34,080 And because they did this, they ended up saving a nation, a people group, the children of 250 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,920 Israel from a genocide. 251 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:42,560 See, the king was actually wanting to ultimately take out the children of Israel and it was 252 00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,040 a slow genocide. 253 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,720 And I mean this because if you take all the males out of a society or a people group, 254 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,640 you're not going to be able to reproduce. 255 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,520 If you take all the males out of a society and a people group, you will have a fatherless 256 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,520 generation. 257 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,040 You will have orphans, which is key to identity. 258 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,020 And so he was going after their identity. 259 00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:05,160 He was going after their ability to reproduce, have legacy, have inheritance. 260 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,320 Like he was going, he was very strategic. 261 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,640 They weren't going to really feel the full consequences of this declaration from the 262 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,840 king for decades in a sense. 263 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,520 Really, when those, you know, people would age, then you would really see the fallout 264 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,760 of this decision. 265 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:26,000 But these midwives, because they had foresight, they were like, we cannot actually have a 266 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,880 new assignment because we already understand our assignment. 267 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:34,160 Our assignment is to honor God and to bring life and to release life and guard life and 268 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,440 protect life. 269 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,520 And because they understood, they actually ended up saving the people, the people of 270 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,320 God and they actually were in the time where Moses was spared. 271 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,000 And this is really cool that when you actually study the history of this story, this is when 272 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,200 Moses, that's why he was found in a basket, right? 273 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,960 In the Nile is because this was during the time where the king of Egypt was trying to 274 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,080 take out. 275 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,480 So his mom and dad had kept him and hidden him for three months, but now he's obviously 276 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,960 too old to hide. 277 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,080 So what do they do? 278 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,800 They put him in a basket and then one of the Pharaoh's daughters finds this beautiful baby 279 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,520 boy, Moses, in a basket, adopts him, brings him into the royal family. 280 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,080 And that's how Moses ends up. 281 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:23,120 It's because of the movement that Shifra and Pua did as a midwife. 282 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,600 They're called for courage, they're called for bravery, they're called to honor God, 283 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,760 spared a nation and it delivered the deliverer, right? 284 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,520 So I just feel like we have to understand in this moment, there's a deliverance anointing 285 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,240 on the midwives for America right now. 286 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,400 And we have to understand that we are called to birth and move of God. 287 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,000 And in this birthing, there's going to be a deliverance of bondage over the nation of 288 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,000 America. 289 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,600 You know, that's so good for a couple of different reasons. 290 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,560 I think we all, Christ have been at places in our walk where we feel like something was 291 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,560 aborted. 292 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,760 Like there was a dream we were given, there was an opportunity we were given. 293 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,520 We begin to step out and feel some, I'm going to use the word again, momentum in the area 294 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,720 of some ministry, whatever it may be. 295 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,240 But then we feel like we get hit, something happens. 296 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,240 And throughout life, people get coaches. 297 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,680 They get coaches when they work out. 298 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,080 They get coaches in terms of tutors when they're maybe in their school or whatever it is, a 299 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,520 skill you want to acquire. 300 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,680 So I love that fact that you're saying in this season, you, we need to help midwife 301 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,960 the callings and giftings in people. 302 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:24,960 Yes. 303 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:25,960 That's the overall purpose of God. 304 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,200 And then one other point you made that I really thought about in Acts seven, nineteen, there 305 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,600 is a retelling of what was the strategy of Pharaoh. 306 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,560 And it said, now this is New Testament now. 307 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:43,200 And obviously where Christ is quoting from goes back to Exodus. 308 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,800 And so it says in Acts 17, it spoke of Pharaoh. 309 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,800 It says, it was Pharaoh who dealt truly and took advantage of our nation and mistreated 310 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:57,360 our fathers and exposed them in order that they might abandon their infants in the Nile 311 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,400 so that they would not survive. 312 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:06,440 So Pharaoh's strategy was to expose the fathers in a way that they would abandon their kids 313 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,640 and there would be a fatherless generation, one, and there would be a boarding of that 314 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,080 next generation. 315 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,360 And so I agree with you right now. 316 00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:16,680 I think part of that midwife anointing, it's seen in so many different ways. 317 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,920 That is such a great, great point. 318 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,720 And you know what I love is I find it incredibly encouraging because these two women who were 319 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,800 barren and in the natural really didn't have a lot to give. 320 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,360 They were actually put in this position because they lacked, right? 321 00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:37,400 So God used these two women that quote, quote, lacked in the natural and they were used to 322 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,400 bring deliverance. 323 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,240 And if you keep reading the story because they honored God, God gave them their own 324 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,440 family and they were no longer barren. 325 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,160 And I think you can apply that to your life in the natural and you can apply that to your 326 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,800 life in the spiritual. 327 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,680 And I simply want you to understand that, you know, you might feel like you don't have 328 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,680 anything. 329 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,800 You're like, what do I have in my hand? 330 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:56,960 All I see is the lack. 331 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,720 I want you to know God doesn't see the lack. 332 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,320 He actually is just looking for your yes. 333 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,400 If you're just obedient to God, love God, give your life to God, he's going to make what's 334 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:12,160 barren or what feels not fruitful or the place that feels like the place of nothing. 335 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,440 He's going to make it something. 336 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,000 He's going to make it that place of breakthrough. 337 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,400 He's actually going to make it that place that is fruitful for you. 338 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,800 And so I just, I want you guys to understand that God sees our lives different than how 339 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:23,800 we see him. 340 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,480 He sees us sometimes different. 341 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,800 I hope, you know, we have a full, you know, ability to see how God sees us, but I don't 342 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,640 know if we're really able to see fully how God sees us. 343 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,880 God sees us as fully capable, you know, and fully able to partner with him. 344 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,400 He is not concerned about what we don't have in the natural because whatever we need, he 345 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,720 will give it to us. 346 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,720 And I just love that. 347 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,720 I love that these women walked in what seemed like nothing and they walked out with everything 348 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,720 their heart desired. 349 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,880 And I just think all because they just said, you know what, we're just honoring God. 350 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,000 We're just going to honor God. 351 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,160 And so our lives are truly just about positioning ourselves from a place of obedience and honoring 352 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,160 God. 353 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,840 And I think there was even some Bible scholars and they did, they ran the numbers on it, 354 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:11,440 but these two women basically it affected other women who also courageously stood up 355 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,480 to protect these Hebrew babies. 356 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:21,320 And it's easy to say that when you influence that generation, save them. 357 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,640 It could very easily be talking about, we're talking about millions of people in a generation 358 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,440 were spared because of the sets. 359 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,440 So profound. 360 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,120 You know, another thing you hit on on the conference, Chris, I think it was. 361 00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:33,240 So profound. 362 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,280 And I even want you to break it out, but it had to do with men and a strategy of the enemy 363 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,280 in this hour. 364 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,280 Go ahead. 365 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,280 Why don't you share that? 366 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,000 Well, I don't know if people have heard me talk about this before. 367 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,280 I'll simply kind of give a little bit of a backdrop from where this is coming from. 368 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,760 You know, we're in a moment where esters are arising. 369 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,960 We're seeing women of God be raised up like never before. 370 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:58,320 We're seeing God really promote women in this hour and it is absolutely God. 371 00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,320 It's exciting. 372 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,320 I love it. 373 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,440 And I am just cheering on every woman that's getting released right now, but then the Lord 374 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:11,080 began to speak to me about Mordecais that Mordecais are equally as important as esters 375 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,680 that actually Esther wouldn't have been Esther had Mordecai not come to her and come to, 376 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,000 yes, come to her without his prompting. 377 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,120 She would not have stepped into the assignment of God in her life and would not have spared 378 00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:28,240 a nation because we got to remember that when Mordecai sent word to her, she actually sent 379 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,480 an argument back of the King hasn't called me. 380 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,240 He hasn't asked for me in 30 days. 381 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,920 If I go before him, he can kill me. 382 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,520 And then that's when that famous passage where Mordecai response says, if you think you're 383 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,920 going to stay in the palace, sweetie, and you're going to be unharmed, this is a Christa paraphrase, 384 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,520 if you're going to be unharmed, you're kidding yourself. 385 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,040 Not only are you going to be killed, God's actually just going to go ahead and raise someone 386 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,600 else up then to be the deliverer of a nation. 387 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,960 She hears that and she hears the truth and the spirit of God on it. 388 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,800 And that's when she says, okay, fast and pray for three days as my maids and I will, and 389 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,400 I will go before the King. 390 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,040 And if I perish, I perish. 391 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,800 So that's that famous scripture that we know because Mordecai say maybe you were born for 392 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,960 such a time as this. 393 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,960 So this is really powerful. 394 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:18,360 So I say all that to say, as esters are arising in this hour and God is truly releasing women, 395 00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:23,120 he's releasing men and for the Mordecais to step into position, for the esters to step 396 00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:27,800 in position, but then the Lord spoke something to me in 2024 and he said this, I'm raising 397 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,960 up voices in this hour to break the agenda to emasculate men in our society. 398 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,360 I'm going to say that again. 399 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:35,360 So you really catch it. 400 00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:40,240 I felt like I heard the Lord say, I'm raising up voices in this hour to break the demonic 401 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,800 agenda that emasculates men in our society. 402 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,800 So I want you to understand what is emasculation. 403 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:47,800 We hear that word. 404 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,080 Some of you may not understand that definition and it's simplest sense. 405 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,160 It refers to the act of belittling, demeaning or undermining a man's masculinity. 406 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:02,840 It can manifest as disrespecting a man's abilities, questioning his comp competency, ridiculing 407 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,760 his emotions or reducing his worth. 408 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:12,520 And you know, if we really begin to look at our society, many movies, sitcoms, narratives, 409 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,960 films, music is very demeaning to men. 410 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:22,720 It's very emasculating to men to the point where I see as kind of when I felt like the 411 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,440 Lord opened my eyes, it was interesting how the Lord will just begin to make you aware 412 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,080 of you have seen things, but all of a sudden you see it, see it, and that's what began 413 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,080 to happen. 414 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,720 The Lord began to speak that to me and then I kept running across stuff and I actually 415 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,720 ran across an interview. 416 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,040 Isn't this interesting? 417 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,440 And it was on a social media platform and it was asking women that are probably more 418 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,680 Gen Z, more college age. 419 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,440 And they're like, what's the value of men and society? 420 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,840 And every young woman, now the granted, this is just, this was just a random poll and I 421 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,520 don't even know how it popped up on my phone. 422 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,040 But I thought, well, this is interesting, right? 423 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,720 Because God's already speaking to me and I'm like, what are their answers going to be? 424 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,440 Like, where's this going? 425 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,200 And every girl goes, I can't think of one reason why we need men. 426 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,720 And then the host, like girl was laughing and then I think a guy was there interviewing 427 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:08,720 to me. 428 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,720 He's like, wait, what? 429 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,880 And she's like, I can't think of, I can't think of one reason. 430 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,000 Like, what do men add? 431 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,040 Like what can men do? 432 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,040 How can they add? 433 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,640 She's like, they just create problems. 434 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:22,440 And then it was in that vein that every other woman, young woman began to answer in that 435 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,440 same thing. 436 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,440 Like there was no value. 437 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,920 Like no one could think of a reason why we needed men. 438 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,520 And I thought, have they not met amazing men? 439 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,920 Like have they not? 440 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,360 What's their encounter been? 441 00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:35,160 But they have been fed a doctrine, right? 442 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:41,040 They have been fed an agenda that has now become a truth for a generation where they 443 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,640 don't understand the value of men in our society. 444 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,520 And I've seen it creep into the church. 445 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:51,240 And here's what I felt like is really important as women are arising, which is absolutely 446 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,600 biblical and it's God and it's good. 447 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,960 But as women arise, that is not pushing men down. 448 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,800 It's actually when we are walking in kingdom and men and women together, everyone should 449 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,120 be thriving, right? 450 00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:07,880 So women should be in their fullness of who they are unapologetically and women should 451 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,920 be able to be strong and powerful and anointed and clear on who they are. 452 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,920 Like come on, Deborah as an Esther is like, know who you are. 453 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,240 And men equally should be strong and powerful and know who they are unapologetically. 454 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,960 And there shouldn't be a shame in either gender walking in our fullness. 455 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,200 And I feel like there's been a shame over men. 456 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,160 And I felt like God wanted to break the shame off of men in our society. 457 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:39,240 And I think us as women, as we're arising, that might feel like an unusual and even unexpected 458 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:44,640 thing to address as a woman, because I think a lot of people view our society as favorable 459 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,640 toward men. 460 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,600 And I think historically that's probably true. 461 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:53,840 I think it has been a masculine focused culture and there has been toxic things connected 462 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:54,840 with that. 463 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:55,920 There has been dysfunction. 464 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:01,560 But I think there's an opportunity here to actually restore it, restore who we are in 465 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,840 God and the fullness. 466 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,840 And I think we cannot expect society to restore something the church has not established. 467 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:13,600 I think this is an invitation in this hour for the church to establish the value of men 468 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,200 and women not in competition and not in comparison with one another. 469 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:24,360 But in the fullness of who God created us to be together side by side, if we're actually 470 00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:28,720 going to establish the Esther company, we have to establish the Mordecai's. 471 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,880 Like one doesn't exist without the other. 472 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,440 You have to have both. 473 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,840 And so I feel like the Lord is putting this on people's hearts right now. 474 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,520 And I haven't really heard anyone talk about this, but I feel like it's going to become 475 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,520 a conversation. 476 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,520 Yes. 477 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,200 And I feel like I have to bring it forth. 478 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,880 Like we have to break the semasculation of men in the society. 479 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,160 And what's interesting, and you were there, of course, and my conference, I'm a mentor, 480 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,440 my closed it out the conference. 481 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,640 And I had men that resonated with this. 482 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,520 This felt like this minister, like hit them personally. 483 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,720 I had them stand. 484 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,240 And there was many men that stood. 485 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,440 And there were. 486 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,400 And there was healing and deliverance that happened where we're able to break off that 487 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,880 shame and that undermining and that devalue. 488 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:18,160 Because I'm not okay if the full bride isn't in the God identity they were created to be 489 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,160 in. 490 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,760 If only half the church is walking in our fullness and the other half is in. 491 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,760 And that goes both ways. 492 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,400 The women of God up until this point haven't really been in our fullness. 493 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,960 So we're now stepping into that. 494 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,520 But as we step into that, I just feel like we got to make sure there's not this shame 495 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,680 still stuck on men. 496 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,120 Like there's all of us kind of going to this new place of freedom. 497 00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:39,680 That's what's available right now in the body of Christ. 498 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,680 You know, I think you're absolutely right on that. 499 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,040 And I haven't heard anyone speak on that as well. 500 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:49,640 And you know, it's funny as I think is maybe in one aspect of it as strategic, maybe as 501 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,480 some people perceive, for instance, let's say the Barbie movie in that sense, that it 502 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,720 was kind of like a woman empowerment. 503 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:01,080 But there were overtures and this kind of undercurrent of like anti-can, you know, it's 504 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,840 like under the actor Ryan Gosling, you know, even saying a song in there. 505 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,400 And I think it really does as well as the interviews you were talking about. 506 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,840 I think there really is that. 507 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,640 And at the end of the day, what we have to come to is to understand it's got to be kingdom. 508 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,720 What does the Bible say? 509 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,680 What does the word of God say? 510 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,720 And there is this place of honor and there has to be an honor and has to go both ways. 511 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,760 And if it doesn't go both ways and it just goes one way, then it ceases to be kingdom, 512 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:30,760 ceases to be blessed. 513 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,960 It will not get off the ground. 514 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,000 It will not build unless the Lord builds the house in labor and vein. 515 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,960 The Lord, if you're not building your life, your future, your value system, what we pour 516 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,040 into the next generation, there are people out there, you got kids, you're raising up 517 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,240 little girls, you're raising up little boys. 518 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,200 What do you want them to catch from you? 519 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,360 And if they catch a disrespect for a gender, a man hating. 520 00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:58,080 And obviously, like you said, it's been a good old boy, good old boy club for too long. 521 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,880 And his grievance, we've been talking to a girl that is in a major movement and she 522 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,400 was just saying that basically women in the movement she's at aren't able to speak and 523 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,000 just look down upon it. 524 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,440 And it was like, it was like, get out, get out. 525 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,080 She had a call like, get out. 526 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,480 And I feel like it's so cool that we have seen conferences for while there was just all men. 527 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,680 Now we're beginning to see women. 528 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,800 And now even women are speaking to men more and more and more. 529 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,280 But like you said, there was that man hating spirit because you brought out a good point 530 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:34,200 too that the early feminist manifesto, one of their goals in view, their in game was 531 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,280 emasculation of man. 532 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,000 And that's totally what happened. 533 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,000 Any males that got around Jezebel, she made them in the Unix. 534 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,000 And that's why Jehu said to the Unix, throw Jezebel out the window. 535 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,960 In other words, she, this spirit has emasculated you. 536 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,440 This is your chance to cast that down. 537 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,240 So I think that's so profound. 538 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,760 You know, it was interesting is that I was, I was studying this and we're preparing for 539 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,080 my session at Momentum. 540 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:06,360 I found it interesting statistic and I felt like the Lord spoke to me and you people couldn't 541 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,680 agree or disagree with me. 542 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:08,680 I'm fine with that. 543 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,000 I just, I'm just simply sharing a, it's very subjective, but this is what I felt like the 544 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:19,040 Lord said, you know, right now in history, historically, men historically have the lowest 545 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,880 levels of testosterone that they've ever had. 546 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,640 And the medical community has no explanation right now. 547 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:31,400 Right now, historically, they're saying 20 something year old men have the testosterone 548 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,640 levels of a 60 something year old man. 549 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,640 Wow. 550 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,680 And so there's been a massive decrease of this hormone. 551 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,120 And I think, and so I began to pray into that because I was like, the medical community 552 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,520 cannot explain it. 553 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,520 Hmm. 554 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,800 I'm going to follow that trail spiritually. 555 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,640 Jesus, what do you say about that? 556 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,200 We have a, we have a physical symptom with no explanation. 557 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,080 It's the lowest to spend historically. 558 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,440 We have 20 something year old men that have the testosterone of 60 something year old 559 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,440 men. 560 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,440 They have never seen this historically. 561 00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,960 They have no explanation why. 562 00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:04,520 And I heard the Lord say because of the spirit of emasculation that has gone after men that 563 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,640 this is a physical symptom of a spiritual problem. 564 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,640 Wow. 565 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,640 Hey, y'all, we do call this, keep your 100. 566 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,800 How many of you know right now we're keeping it 100? 567 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:12,800 Yeah. 568 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:20,160 And I, I felt like that is a physical symptom of a spiritual issue that when the church breaks 569 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,720 this over men and breaks this in our nation, that's when testosterone levels, I would love 570 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,720 to see, right? 571 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,440 If you break it, I'd love to see those. 572 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,920 What if they just begin to rise? 573 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:35,520 Like there would be a physical symptom, a measurable symptom where they're like, we don't know why 574 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,640 they were down, but now they're back up because the church goes after demonic spirit that's 575 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:46,520 trying to actually hold men down because testosterone is a key reproductive hormone. 576 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,200 So fertility rates are at an all time low in addition to that. 577 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:56,400 So if you have all time low fertility rates and you're having a harder time reproducing, 578 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,400 yeah, follow that trail spiritually. 579 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,760 I think there's a demonic agenda on that and people may agree or disagree with me. 580 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:04,760 That's fine. 581 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,240 But when I took it to prayer, that's what I heard. 582 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,600 And I just thought, okay, I want to see the body of Christ thrive. 583 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,800 And I think there's an invitation to go after something that is holding half the body of 584 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,200 Christ down and back, you know? 585 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,600 And I think you brought up a great point. 586 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,480 I want the next generation of young men to go, oh man, women are amazing, powerful, anointed, 587 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,480 strong. 588 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,260 I want the next generation of young women to go, men are amazing, powerful and strong. 589 00:31:30,260 --> 00:31:34,040 And there's this healthy expectation of who we're called to be. 590 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,280 That's what I want to model. 591 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,840 I don't want to model anyone being suppressed or dominated. 592 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,280 I want us to walk as God has called us to walk. 593 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,080 You know, it's funny because, you know, this generation, they want family, but if you're 594 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,760 being interviewed and you're going, what good is meant for? 595 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,360 Like it's almost a contradiction. 596 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,400 Like how are you going to have family, have kids and you have no respect for male and 597 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,880 you don't see the value of it? 598 00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:01,200 So it's an indirect, not only attack on men, it's an attack on the family. 599 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,760 That is just so profound. 600 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,960 Hey, Christa, you know, another thing that you spoke of at the conference that was really 601 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,880 profound is you, you kind of talked about the spirit of betrayal. 602 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:17,120 And I was immediately thinking about a Judas, you know, we talk about a Jesus people movement. 603 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,520 Well, when the original Jesus people move, and I'm not talking about the hippies, I'm 604 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:25,720 talking about when Jesus walked the earth, what rose up against his movement was betrayal, 605 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:26,720 you know, Judas. 606 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,680 And so talk to us about, you were seeing this thing about this year, about the spirit of 607 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:31,680 betrayal. 608 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:32,680 Yeah. 609 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,000 I heard the Lord say, as I was just waiting on him for like, Lord, what do you declare 610 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,000 in over 2024? 611 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,640 And I heard the Lord say, the enemy has unleashed a spirit of betrayal in the land. 612 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,120 This is the hour of the Judices. 613 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,680 And I know that's a bit heavy. 614 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:49,080 And I know I've probably sounded lightweight negative on the things that I've heard. 615 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,320 If you go back to our previous podcast episode, I have a lot of really positive things that 616 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,320 I say. 617 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,320 So this is a bit of a part two. 618 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,400 This is probably a little heavier. 619 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,040 But I think it's important that we talk about the positive, but this is also sometimes when 620 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,640 we call out, maybe what we've reviewed is more negative. 621 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,720 I don't really view it as negative. 622 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,160 I view it as strategy. 623 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,560 And so consider the strategy. 624 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,120 So in second, Timothy three versus one through five, I'm going to read this because I want 625 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,120 you to catch this. 626 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,760 It says, you should know this, Timothy, that in the last days, there will be very difficult 627 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,360 times for people will love, love only themselves and their money. 628 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,320 They will be boastful, proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents and ungrateful. 629 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,960 They will consider nothing sacred. 630 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,880 They will be unloving, unforgiving. 631 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,480 They will slander others and have no self control. 632 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,040 They will be cruel and hate what is good. 633 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,040 Catch this. 634 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,800 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, love, pleasure rather 635 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:43,800 than God. 636 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,080 They will act religious. 637 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,640 Oh my goodness. 638 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:51,040 But they will reject the power that could make them godly, stay away from people like 639 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,040 that. 640 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,920 So verse four, we read it says they will betray their friends. 641 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,560 And the Lord highlighted this like it jumped off the page. 642 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,400 He said, you know, go to second Timothy. 643 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,400 I went to that. 644 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,720 I read this and it just like jumped off the page. 645 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,360 They will betray their friends and that's when the Lord says a spirit of betrayal has 646 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,200 been unleashed in the land. 647 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:13,640 It's the hour of the Judas is and I felt like the Lord said in the season, we must be diligent 648 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,840 about whom we allow into our lives, not from a place of fear or not from a place of elite 649 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:25,680 ism, but from a place of wisdom and that the Lord is really telling us to really guard our 650 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:32,240 peace and to guard whom we allow to speak into our life and whom we share our heart with, 651 00:34:32,240 --> 00:34:37,280 whom we really allow to influence our life. 652 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,880 And I felt like the Lord says, I will give you wisdom and discernment, but I spoke, I 653 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,480 shared this last week in the podcast episode, so listen to it if you didn't, but that this 654 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,120 year, your, your courage is going to be called upon. 655 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,280 There's going to be demanding your courage and this is where some of the courage is going 656 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,600 to be required. 657 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,480 There are some relationships that are going to have to be adjusted into your life. 658 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,760 Some of them may have to be fully like cut out and I don't love saying that, but I think 659 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,840 there just has to be some of you really hear this for what it is. 660 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,240 There is going to be just God's like, if you're going to go where I'm asking you to go, that 661 00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:14,720 toxic relationship, that relationship that pulls you into compromise or calls you in, 662 00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:18,880 like there's an appeal of sin in that relationship or friendship. 663 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,840 I'm God's like, you've got to lay that down. 664 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,840 You have to lay down the things that are pulling you away from the Lord. 665 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,320 But here's the thing about the Judas. 666 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,880 Judas was, he was at all the sermons. 667 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,520 He saw the miracles. 668 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,080 He was in the presence of God. 669 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,040 He shared meals with Jesus and he remained untransformed. 670 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,560 And there's people, cause obviously we just read in 2 Timothy, this was not talking to 671 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:40,560 unbelievers. 672 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,960 This was talking about believers. 673 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:47,000 So that's very like, that makes you go, whoa, Jesus, is there anything in me? 674 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,000 I don't know. 675 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,000 That's what it makes me do. 676 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,440 It makes me go, oh my goodness, Jesus, check me. 677 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,000 You know, if there's anything that is in me that opposes you, Jesus, you have full permission 678 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,920 to uproot that out of me. 679 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,560 But I think we have to understand that as, you know, this letter is being written to 680 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:07,120 Timothy and he's reading this and he's challenged to actually go, wow, there's people that I 681 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:12,640 do life with in the church that are actually completely remaining untransformed. 682 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,520 They love maybe the merch. 683 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:15,640 They love singing the songs. 684 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,680 They love being at all the events, but their hearts are not close to God. 685 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,320 And I think you can be in acquaintance with about anyone, right? 686 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,160 But I'm talking about the people whom you really run after God with and the people whom you 687 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,640 really do life with. 688 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,240 They have to be people that are going after God. 689 00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:36,520 And I think we have to be really honest about who those people are because I feel like the 690 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,280 Lord's is inviting us to go to that delivery room, that midwife room, right? 691 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,600 Not everyone's going to get in there. 692 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,000 And again, that can sound really elite. 693 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,800 And I'm not trying to make anything elite. 694 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:52,640 I think there's, I think if anyone comes fully consecrated to God and comes like in repentance, 695 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,840 even if they're walking in things that aren't great, God's going to let you in. 696 00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:00,520 It's just, it's a matter of like having a soft heart, a tender heart, a heart that's 697 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,160 being willing to be moldable and teachable before the Lord. 698 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,360 That's what God's looking for, right? 699 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,520 Because David is a great example of that. 700 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,520 David wasn't perfect. 701 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:08,520 David messed up. 702 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,280 But what I love is David was always referred to as a man after my own heart because it 703 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,760 wasn't that he was perfect because he was repentant and he was tender to other things 704 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,760 of God. 705 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:17,760 So there is that on ramp. 706 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,480 I do want to qualify that and bring balance to what I'm saying. 707 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,600 But at the same time, I feel like we have to use discernment and you have to be honest 708 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,600 in this season. 709 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:27,600 I love what you're sharing. 710 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,320 And I think, you know, when you're talking about, you have to use discernment. 711 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,680 I think one of the things that I immediately came to mind as you were saying that is, you 712 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:39,360 know, I would often counsel, you know, singles as it relates to getting married and we would 713 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,720 say, particularly the young ladies, we go, if the dude isn't faithful to Jesus, he isn't 714 00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:44,720 going to be faithful to you. 715 00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:49,000 In other words, if he would betray Jesus, he's going to betray you. 716 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,000 And then I think another thing, you know, just in discernment, you would discern that 717 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:57,240 because how faithful is a person to Jesus, if they would betray their faith for popularity, 718 00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:00,840 they would betray their faith because the heat is on, they would betray their faith 719 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,600 because they could run with a group or get a raise or you go on and on and on. 720 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,760 They're going to betray you in terms of you getting a relationship. 721 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,720 But the other thing is people that betray confidences, you know, if you see someone putting 722 00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:16,840 somebody else's business out there, as we used to say, putting it out in the streets, 723 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,880 you got to know they're going to do that to you too. 724 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:24,840 So I totally, totally am hearing and just going, wow, I absolutely feel like there's 725 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:25,840 something on that. 726 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:26,840 Oh, that's good. 727 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,360 I'm so glad you added that. 728 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,360 That's so good. 729 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,560 You know, and then I, as I was spending time with God about this, I felt like God even 730 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,800 kind of flipped the script though. 731 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,960 So there's that, the Judas is, and then I felt like the Lord says, but don't you become 732 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:37,960 a Judas? 733 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:38,960 Right? 734 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,520 Cause you can hear this word and think, oh, who's going to betray me? 735 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,960 Or you're kind of like, but then it's like, well, we could be the betrayer. 736 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,120 Let's be honest about that. 737 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:47,120 Right? 738 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,840 Like, did Judas know that was in him? 739 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,840 Probably not. 740 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,840 Like, right? 741 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:51,840 You don't quite know. 742 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:52,920 Sometimes you're deceived. 743 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,080 That's why it's called deception. 744 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,200 And you don't know necessarily sometimes what's in you and tell you don't get your way or 745 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,320 you don't get what you want, which was Judas. 746 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:07,040 He had an agenda and his agenda became more important than Jesus and he then ended up 747 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,820 a train because his agenda was more important. 748 00:39:09,820 --> 00:39:13,680 So I felt like the Lord says, be diligent in keeping your heart pure and keeping your 749 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,720 heart clean and keeping your heart unaffended. 750 00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:18,800 Because if you look at the model of Judas, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's 751 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,400 he got offended and he got judgmental. 752 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,840 He got accusatory and then he took matters into his own hands and then he made a whole 753 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,160 mess of things. 754 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,040 And so he ended up betraying, betraying the one that was loyal to him, the one that could 755 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,080 have healed him, the one that could have set him free. 756 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,360 He's actually the one that led Jesus to the cross. 757 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,640 And so I felt like it's, it goes two ways. 758 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:45,400 It's like there has been a spirit of betrayal unleashed and this is the hour of the Judas. 759 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:50,080 That means be aware of people not being truthful to you or having a good agenda towards you 760 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,360 or having a good motive to you, but then are you that person? 761 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,800 Are you the one that could betray? 762 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,640 And I felt like this was really important when it comes to covenant relationships because 763 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,200 the enemy hates covenant relationships. 764 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,400 And what did Judas do? 765 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,880 He betrayed a covenant relationship. 766 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:12,200 And I felt like in the area of people's marriages, even the areas of spiritual relationships, 767 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:17,000 you know, spiritual moms and dads or spiritual family or people that you have been really 768 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,080 called to serve or work with or come alongside. 769 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,680 If you're not careful in the season, you could become offended and the people you were called 770 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,720 to serve, you now betray. 771 00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:27,800 And God is saying, keep your heart clean. 772 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:34,600 Do not take the bait of the enemy of offense or accusation or self selfish ambition. 773 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,760 But if you keep your heart pure before me, you will not only guard, but you will actually 774 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,760 deepen your covenant relationships. 775 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:42,880 Oh, that's so good. 776 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,200 I think that antidote to betrayal is be loyal. 777 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,520 Yeah, that's good. 778 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,960 Like if you're really focusing on, I'm going to be loyal to Jesus. 779 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,960 I'm going to be loyal to his word written scripture. 780 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,560 I'm going to be loyal to the house of God. 781 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,440 I'm going to be loyal to my, my friends. 782 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,720 I'm going to be loyal to my family members. 783 00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:07,280 I think when you put that out there and that becomes your end game, then I think you punch 784 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,720 betrayal in the mouth. 785 00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:15,040 I love what you're saying that people do get offended before they betray because it justifies 786 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,040 the betrayal. 787 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,120 I'll breach loyalty because I'm, I'm upset. 788 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,120 I'm mad. 789 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,120 I'm hurt. 790 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:22,560 And I could just see where that thing continually spirals. 791 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:27,640 And before you know it, you got this pride in the fact that you're betraying and really 792 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,480 it's just narcissism is what it is at the end of the day. 793 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,480 You know, I'll end with this of just what I want to share with all of you of what I 794 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,680 heard the Lord say. 795 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,160 And I just want to declare this over you. 796 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,920 If you're a listener and you're just taking time, just if you're able, like just getting 797 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,920 a quiet place or close your eyes and just receive this because I just believe as I declare 798 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,000 over you, it's just something I got prophetically and I just want you to hear this for your 799 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,000 heart. 800 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,680 I heard the Lord say 2024 is the year of knowing my name. 801 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,160 I am Jehovah Jireh, your provider. 802 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:58,320 I am your healer. 803 00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,320 I'm your restore. 804 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,640 I'm the mender of the broken things. 805 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,440 I am the God who sees you. 806 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,560 You can never escape my gaze. 807 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,920 This is the time to tuck away into my presence. 808 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,320 I'm your anchor. 809 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:10,920 I am your anchor. 810 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:11,920 Nothing else. 811 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,040 I am your safe place. 812 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,040 No one else. 813 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,200 I am your sounding board, the giver of wisdom and counsel. 814 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,520 Wait upon my spirit to guide you. 815 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,520 I will not lead you astray. 816 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:25,160 This is the year of total dependence, trusting me beyond your current capacity. 817 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,360 This is the year you'll step beyond the disappointment and you'll thrive. 818 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,160 This is the year of experiencing me in new ways. 819 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,560 I've built you differently for exactly this time. 820 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:39,360 This is the year of imagination and dreaming, a year of reconnecting and reigning. 821 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,760 This is the year of turning a new page, starting fresh, starting new. 822 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:47,560 This is the year of taking off the grieving clothes and finding fresh purpose and vision. 823 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,360 This is the year of momentum. 824 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:50,360 I love that. 825 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:51,360 I think that's so profound. 826 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:56,800 And I think one of the things that becomes, I think just the walk away of it all is just 827 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,840 to stay Jesus focused, focus. 828 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:04,080 The Bible talks about in Philippians 4, whatever is on or is just, lovely, good reputed in 829 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,160 the excellence, anything where they're placed, let your mind dwell on these things. 830 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,480 Thanks so much for tuning into the Keep It 100
