3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: locked in this week on India and Pakistan, on that

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: escalation between those two countries. We've got to pray for

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: what's happening over there. Meanwhile, the Secretary of Defense Pete

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: Heseith has had his hands fools. He makes moves to

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: reorder a military leadership and help increase combat readiness. Building

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: a strong national defense is what we all are praying for.

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: And this is Mental Health Awareness Month the month of May.

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Trump issued a proclamation on Mental Health in America, which

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: I appreciate. And it's also, by the way, Mother's Day weekend,

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: the day we celebrate Mom. All this and more coming

Speaker 3: Christ Love Sworthy.

27
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: Well, we're just off the heels of the National Day

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: of Prayer event, and what a spectacular event it was.

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: We were meeting at the Museum of the Bible and

30
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: it was led by Kathy Brenzel and Tim Tebow. We're

31
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: also in an amazing service at the Rose Garden at the

32
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: White House. Faith is back in America. And while people

33
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: joined in all over the land to pray for America,

34
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: President Donald J. Trump signed a National Day of Prayer

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: proclamation and he also signed an executive order related to

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: the Religious Liberty Commission. This President is serious about protecting

37
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: people of faith as they seek to live out their

38
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: sincerely held religious beliefs. All eyes again shifted this week

39
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: though to the escalating tension between India and Pakistan. Again,

40
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: we need to pray about that situation with Ernest and

41
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: apparently the United States was contacted by the Hoodies this

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: week that they were watching their military assets go up

43
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: in flames. According to President Trump, the hoodie said they

44
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: don't want to fight anymore. Trump said, Okay, we're going

45
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: to stop bombing now that they have capitulated. We'll see

46
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: what happens. Trump also continues to lead on all fronts.

47
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: During a meeting with Canada's new prime minister, Trump said

48
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: he would be making a very very big announcement before

49
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: he goes to the Middle East. Sumpit next week. I'll

50
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: be exciting to hear what that's all about, residents said. Also,

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: the announcement wasn't related to a trade deal. Also this week,

52
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court overturned the lower court injunction blocking President

53
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: Trump's order declaring that gender dysphory and transgenderism are incompatible

54
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: with military service. That ruling means that Pentagon can continue

55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: discharging transgender soldiers while the cases in works and is

56
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: going through the legal system. Hey, this is Mother's Day weekend.

57
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: Happy Mother's Day. Special day to encourage and inspire and

58
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: to love on and celebrate mom. The truth is that

59
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: motherhood has never been more challenging or more significant. Our

60
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: children are facing pressures, temptations, and issues that are very

61
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: different from previous generations, but a mother's influence it's still

62
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: the most powerful. That old adage still rings true. The

63
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: hand that rocks the cradle still rules the world. Abraham

64
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: Lincoln was so convinced that he actually said this, No

65
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: man is poor who had a godly mother. May also

66
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: has Mental Health Awareness Month, shedding some light on this

67
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: exploding area and culture. With soaring rates of anxiety, depression,

68
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: and suicidality showing up everywhere, especially among our kids. One

69
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: thing is certain. We always have hope, Our hope, our

70
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: strength that comes from the Lord. Here's a great first

71
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: to hold on to this week. I think it's appropriate

72
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: for Mother's Day. Proverbs twenty two, verse six. Train up

73
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: a child in the way he should go, and when

74
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: he's old, he won't depart from it. Get ready as

75
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: we jump head first into our discussions today here on

76
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: Sunday of the Road Ford, I'm going to pray and

77
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: we're going to get started. God, thank you for our moms.

78
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Thank you for the love that you share each and

79
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: every day with us, for your faithfulness and goodness and

80
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: grace to us. I pray that we would look to you,

81
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: that we would radiate you and all that we say

82
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: and do. I pray all this in the strong name

83
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: of Jesus. Amen. Let's get started.

84
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: For more encouragement and to stay connected, follow doctor Tim

85
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,200

Speaker 1: Join us now. Is Becky Thompson. Becky is a best

Speaker 1: selling author, founder of the Midnight Mom devotional community, over

89
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: two million moms joining together nightly for prayer. Becky, what

Speaker 1: for joining us.

92
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 4: Hey, happy Mother's Date of me too. I guess, Docter Clinton,

93
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 4: I almost said Happy Mother's Day to you.

94
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 5: Man.

95
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 4: I'm so I'm so encouraged by every time we get

96
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: together and have a conversation. I'm looking forward to our conversation, Becky.

97
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: This Midnight Mom Devotional Facebook prayer community, over two million

98
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: women now coming together, Moms coming together to pray. It's

99
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: led by you and your mom. Tell us a little

100
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: bit about what God's been doing lately.

101
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, So that community began nearly a decade ago, which

102
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 4: is just wild what God has done. But it started

103
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: as this movement where moms were up in the middle

104
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 4: of the night and there's not a lot of encouraging

105
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 4: content to scroll through in the middle of the night

106
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 4: on social media, often at least a decade ago, and

107
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 4: so I created the midnight Mom check in where moms

108
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 4: could say, Hey, this is why I'm awake, and this

109
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 4: is why I need prayer, and we offered a quick

110
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 4: devotion and a prayer for them, and it just grew

111
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 4: so fast. There were thousands of mamas commenting below in

112
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 4: the comment section. And you know, my mom had this

113
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 4: great idea, what if every single night we just prayed

114
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 4: for a different one of those mamas. And it has

115
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: grown beyond midnight, It's grown beyond nighttime in general, and

116
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 4: now day and night we have over two million moms

117
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: praying with us for each other, which is the best

118
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 4: part of the community. Yes we pray for our nation,

119
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: and yes we pray for our kids and different situations

120
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 4: we're all going through, but we are mamas encouraging mamas,

121
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 4: and that's an important thing for momas to learn. How

122
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 4: to do.

123
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: You know, Becky, they say, the hand that rocks the

124
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: cradle still rules the world. At the end of the day,

125
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: moms make all the difference in the world. But a

126
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: lot of moms are stressed out. I was talking with

127
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: my daughter Megan, and we have two grandchildren, her daughters,

128
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: Olivia is six going on ten and Sophia is three

129
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: going on probably seventeen or so. She thinks she rules

130
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: the world too. Anyway, Sophia, I mean, Meghan said Dad.

131
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: I think Sofia was going to put me in the

132
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: grave literally, I mean, couldn't get her sleep through the night,

133
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: et cetera. But talk to us about that issue of

134
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: anxious mamas and what you're finding. What are you hearing

135
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: from moms all over.

136
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: You know, in twenty twenty five, moms are they're just

137
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 4: in a place where the world fell apart about five

138
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: years ago. A lot of them entered motherhood as the

139
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: world fell apart in twenty twenty, and they've done their

140
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 4: best to put one foot in front of the other

141
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: and just figure it out. A lot of mamas were

142
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: veteran mom as well, established into their routines when everything

143
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 4: sort of fell apart. And what I'm finding, Doctor Clinton,

144
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 4: is that moms haven't really had a chance to up

145
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: and heal. They just keep going. And when that messaging

146
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: came in that the world wasn't safe and the people

147
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: that they love aren't safe, you know their bodies believed

148
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: that truth, and they did everything they could to hold

149
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 4: their families closer and to trust the Lord and pray.

150
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 4: But a lot of them are overwhelmed.

151
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 6: Still.

152
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: They love Jesus, they'd love his word.

153
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 4: They do all of the right things, but the stress

154
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: and the pace of life, especially today, man, they just

155
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 4: can't keep up, even if they really really want to,

156
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 4: even if they have all the good plans in place,

157
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 4: it's just too much for a lot of their little

158
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 4: nervous systems to handle. So that's where I'm seeing moms

159
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 4: are right now. And not only do they need peace,

160
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 4: they really really need rest. But how are you supposed

161
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 4: to rest when you can't even find a pause in

162
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 4: your day? So that's really what I'm seeing right now.

163
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: You know, Becky, when you're up online, you're very personable

164
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: and you are real. You share a lot of what

165
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: personal journey's been all about. And this is Mother's Day weekend,

166
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: we're celebrating mom, but it's also a mental health awareness month.

167
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: You wrote a book, an earlier book of yours, called

168
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: Peace and Inside. You talk about your own personal journey,

169
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: and you really there's a message in there that resonates

170
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: I think with a lot of moms, because it's like

171
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: hope for the anxious mama's heart. Can you take us

172
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: down that road that you were on? And probably why

173
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: God uses your voice so profoundly, Oh, thank you.

174
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd love the chance to speak into that. I

175
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 4: think that a lot of us believe that we really

176
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 4: only earn the right to say something hopeful or encouraging

177
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 4: to others when we can prove that we made it

178
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: out the other side, When we can say the Lord

179
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 4: was victorious in my life. So I can believe that

180
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: the Lord will be victorious in your life as well.

181
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 4: And what happened to me in twenty eighteen twenty nineteen

182
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 4: is that the Lord began to show me that I

183
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: was in a season that millions of other mamas were

184
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 4: in with me, and if I waited until I got

185
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 4: to the other side of it, they would go for

186
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 4: years believing that they were all alone. And so again

187
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 4: and again, really for over a decade now, for as

188
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: long as I've been writing online and writing in books,

189
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 4: I've done my best to look around and see, you know,

190
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 4: who's out here with me.

191
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 5: But where you.

192
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 4: Begin there is you have to be honest with yourself.

193
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 4: You have to be honest and say, I'm living out

194
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 4: a testimony right now. I have an eyewitness account, which

195
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 4: is which is what a testimony is, which is what

196
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 4: a personal witness is. I have this eyewitness account of

197
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: who God is in this season, and I can see

198
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: him so much more clearly in this season when I'm

199
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 4: standing in the season than when I get to the

200
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: other side and I try to look back and I

201
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: try to say, well, how did he meet me there,

202
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 4: or what did he do there? I can't quite remember.

203
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 4: I want to encourage those that are listening that if

204
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 4: they're in the middle of a really hard season, man

205
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: take notes about who God reveals himself to be in

206
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: this season for you. Remember that he is not only

207
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: with you, but he's for you, and he's working things

208
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 4: out on your behalf right now, because he's not just

209
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 4: the beginning and the end, he's everything in between as well.

210
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: And so he's seen today, he's seen tomorrow. He knows

211
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 4: how you make it to the other side. But I

212
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: was in that season of being right in the middle

213
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 4: of heavy anxiety. We had just moved from our small

214
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 4: town in Oklahoma to Los Angeles County, and with that

215
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 4: big transition, I have kids that have high emotional needs,

216
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 4: and I was trying to find them resources. I was homeschooling,

217
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 4: I was without my community support, and anxiety.

218
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: Was was rough.

219
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 7: It was really, really hard.

220
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 4: And the Lord gave me this vision one day, doctor Clinton,

221
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 4: and I was standing at my kitchen sink, but I

222
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: just had this picture of a woman and she looked

223
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 4: like she was lost in the middle of a forest

224
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 4: at night, like she had been kidnapped from her own

225
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 4: life and dropped off there blindfolded. And she lifts this

226
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 4: blind and she looks all around and there's no light

227
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 4: in any direction. There's no sign of which way to

228
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 4: begin to walk. She has no idea where she is.

229
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 4: And I said, Lord, who is this Who is this woman?

230
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 4: Who are you showing me a picture of? And he said, Becky,

231
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 4: she's a woman lost in the forest of fear and

232
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 4: you're hearing we're going to.

233
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 7: Lead her out together.

234
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 4: And I thought a couple of things in that moment.

235
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 4: I thought, you know what, if we're leading her out together,

236
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: then then the Lord's telling me I get to the

237
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 4: other side of this. But if someone else is going

238
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 4: to need to know how I made it out of here,

239
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 4: then I need to make a map. I need to

240
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 4: treat this season like I should write down how the

241
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: Lord is meeting me, who he's revealing himself to be,

242
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: and what the next step is for many of us

243
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 4: to reach the other side. So that was the book piece,

244
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: and that's still the journey I've been on. How do

245
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: we continue to rest in the Lord when we're so

246
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 4: exhausted from the journey?

283
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 6: Well, I have a Intercessors for America is a fifty

284
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 6: year old ministry that's focused in on praying for the nation.

285
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 6: We do three things that's really simple, news, prayer and action.

286
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: News, prayer and action. And Dave, at the heart of it, man,

287
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: you're really mobilizing people. Yes, some people say, hey, listen,

288
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm praying for you, and you know, hey, you know

289
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Hey, we'll remember you in prayer. But Dave,

290
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: often they don't you Guys, Intercede I'm talking to like

291
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: throw down, let's get after it. And I'm thinking about

292
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: going through an issue. I'm gonna call Dave and ask

293
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: him to get after it. But Dave, that's you take

294
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: it to a different place.

295
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 6: Well, let me just say, doctor Clinton that the fact

296
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 6: of the matter is is God is during this church

297
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 6: in America, and I think globally to pray for government

298
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 6: and so we have the happy, joyful experience to be

299
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 6: connecting with millions and millions of intercessors who desire to

300
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 6: pray for the nation, and so it's a joy to

301
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 6: join God and what he's doing. Last year, we had

302
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 6: one point five one point six billion impressions across all platforms,

303
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 6: and again it's just testament to what God is doing

304
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 6: in this nation.

305
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: Dave, we're just off the heels of an incredible week.

306
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,760

00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow was the co chair of the event. It

312
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: was powerful. Dave, talk to us about what happened there.

313
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: I know you started out at the Capitol. We had

314
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: a preparation dinner event together, but you held an event

315
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: at the Capitol and then you hosted an event that

316
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: was broadcast literally around the world, praying again for the nation.

317
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 8: Yeah.

318
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 6: National Day Prayer the first Thursday of May every year

319
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 6: in the United States of America, the first nation on

320
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 6: the face of the earth that had a fixed day

321
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 6: to pray for the nation. And in this past Thursday,

322
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 6: the first Thursday of this month of May, was absolutely incredible.

323
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 6: More prayer in Washington, d C. Than I remember in

324
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 6: my time with Intercessors for America. You're you're correct. It

325
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 6: started out the night before with a wonderful National Day

326
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 6: Prayer task Force dinner and Tim Tebow was there. I

327
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 6: tell you what, that guy is so genuine. You think

328
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 6: he's nice on the screen, I think he's even nicer

329
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 6: in person. He's just a wonderful guy. He shared a

330
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 6: testimony about how prayer is so important for himself, his family,

331
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 6: and for the nation. Then the next morning we were

332
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 6: in the Cannon Building, which is a house meeting room,

333
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 6: and we're in the Cannon Room and Speaker Johnson kicked

334
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 6: off the day and numerous Congressman came and interceded for

335
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 6: the nation. And then then I met you Tim over

336
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 6: at the White House. You know, can you believe I

337
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 6: can't believe I'm saying that. We We were with President

338
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 6: Trump for a long two hours in the hot sun

339
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 6: on the Rose Garden, and it was a wonderful event.

340
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 6: He signed an executive order on a Commission to protect

341
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 6: Religious Freedoms, invited a bunch of us up on stage

342
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 6: and then invited us into the OVERLA office. What a treatment.

343
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 6: And then here at Intercessors for America. We had a

344
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 6: chance to cover all of this on our national global

345
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 6: broadcast on later on that afternoon. So it's a crescendo.

346
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 6: It's a lot of organizations, a lot of folks who

347
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 6: are committed to praying for this nation, like Speaker Johnson,

348
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 6: like President Trump and so many others, and we all

349
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 6: came together on the day around this nation. It was incredible.

350
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: Second Chronicles seven fourteen through sixteen, If my people who

351
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: are called by my name humble themselves in pray and

352
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: seek my face, turn from their wicked way, then will

353
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: they hear from Heaven, will forgive their sin, and I'll

354
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: heal their land. A lot of people quote that verse, David,

355
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: but it's it's so true if we would just go

356
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: there in a special place. You know what I love, Dave,

357
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: is the new research that's coming out about prayer too,

358
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: and the power of healing. Prayer. Literally, prayer opens Heaven's stores.

359
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: It's conversation with God. And by the way Jesus he

360
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: led the way he showed us the example of what

361
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: it means to go to God in prayer.

362
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 6: Well, the second Chronicles passage is in the canon of Scriptures,

363
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 6: the one that comes in first in all of the scriptures,

364
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 6: encouraging people to pray and fast from the nation. But

365
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 6: doctor Cloinney, here's what's amazing to me, that when pestilence

366
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 6: is in the land, as it says in the verses

367
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 6: before the verses you quoted, when famine is in the land,

368
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 6: and do we not have pestilence of mind viruses in

369
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 6: people's mind today? That if you are a woman and

370
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 6: you want to be a man, you can just decide.

371
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 6: And famine is in the land, I mean we have

372
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 6: a famine that will be coming very shortly if we

373
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 6: don't get this national debt under control. When there's pestilence

374
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 6: and famine in the land. But God has given us

375
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 6: and a remedy when you got to pull the rip cord,

376
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 6: when you've got to break the glass in times of

377
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 6: national emergencies, He's given us a remedy and that is

378
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 6: to reach out to Him. And that's what we all

379
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 6: have to do in this day and age.

380
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: And its sessius for America. Dave closing out here, got

381
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: a little something going on. If people watching right now

382
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: want to maybe connect, where can they go?

383
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 6: Well, I have a pray dot Org is where our

384
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 6: community starts. As I said earlier, we've had every month

385
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 6: we interact with millions and millions of people. And back

386
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 6: to your comment that prayer is oftentimes caught rather than talk.

387
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 6: There's so many opportunities for people to jump into the

388
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 6: community and be discipled in prayer and intercession. But hey,

389
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 6: can I something big happen? My first real big book.

390
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, your book came out, Impacting Generations.

391
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 6: Can I talk about that?

392
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: Please?

393
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 6: Do it?

394
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: Yes?

395
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 6: Well, Impacting Generations is a message that the Lord has

396
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 6: put upon my heart. The subtitle is how ordinary people

397
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 6: impact the future of Nations, And it really talks about

398
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 6: the rediscovering the Covenant of Abraham, where God says to

399
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 6: Abraham that his descendants, those of us right here that

400
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 6: are participating in this, those descendants of Abraham will possess

401
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 6: the gates of the enemy and be a blessing to nations.

402
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 6: Men and women of faith, we are called to influence

403
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 6: spheres of government, and we are to do that through

404
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 6: prayer and intercession. And it's not the control it's not

405
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 6: the fight our way to the top to have a

406
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 6: seat at the table, but it's to be a blessing

407
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 6: to nations because we know that when God's values come

408
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 6: to the earth, that Kingdom come, Thy will be done,

409
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 6: then nations will be blessed, so impacting generations. You can

410
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 6: get it at Amazon and I'm just so thankful that

411
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 6: the Lord gave me. You know, you can't get what

412
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 6: you don't get right, so God gave me some wonderful

413
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 6: thoughts to put it in a book and we just

414
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:25,880

00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: Bishop Calvin colbertis currently serves as lead pastor of New

466
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: Life Church International and Plant City, FLORID. He's a member

467
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: of the National Faith Advisor Board. He's a strong voice

468
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: on righteousness and culture. Bishop, thank you for joining me.

469
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 8: Thanks for having a doctor player.

470
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: Bishop Way, what a great time we had the National

471
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: Day of Prayer. We're up at the Rose Garden there

472
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: at the White House, quite spectacular. The People's President, President

473
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump and now gave a proclamation on Prayer

474
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: for the Nation. He also established a Religious Liberty Commission. Bishop,

475
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: just tell us your thoughts coming out of the Rose

476
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: Garden and what it was like for you, and what

477
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: your thoughts are on this new administration.

478
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 8: Well, I'd like to preface my stateness by saying this

479
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 8: new administration is doing what he said he would do.

480
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 8: And rarely we have seen in politics that any politician

481
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 8: that runs on a platform will actually carry out what

482
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 8: they said they would do. And President Donald John Trump

483
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 8: is doing just that. And I would like to specifically

484
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 8: put an emphasis on the commitment that he's made to

485
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 8: evangelicals and the community of faith. He said that he

486
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 8: was going to enhance and bring God back to the

487
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 8: White House because our nation needs God and the Rose

488
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 8: Garden National their prayer was evidence that our president is

489
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 8: very serious about welcoming God back and giving prophetic voices

490
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 8: platforms to promote the name of God and pray over

491
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 8: him and pray over our country for God's.

492
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 6: Direction for it.

493
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: Bishop, he is a different individual. You look back on

494
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: his first administration, look at where he's at now, but

495
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: you go to what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, that assassination attempt,

496
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: and I think he really believed that God spared his life,

497
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: that God did that very thing, And that's sensitivity I

498
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: think Bishop has leading him. What's your thought.

499
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 8: You and I both have experienced both administrations, the President

500
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 8: Trump prior and the President Trump now, and I will

501
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 8: say that God used President Trump in his first administration.

502
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 8: But I see God at another level in him. If

503
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 8: someone has attempted your life multiple times and you know

504
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 8: that it is God that has saved you, and he

505
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 8: has recognized that privately and publicly, that God has saved

506
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 8: him and positioned him to be a leader here in America.

507
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 8: It is obvious the changes and what motivates his decisions

508
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 8: and what he's doing. And I'm just glad to see

509
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 8: the work of the Lord in his heart. He is

510
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 8: not a perfect man, none of us are. But I

511
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 8: can definitely see the hands of God on him, navigating him,

512
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 8: because the heart of the King is in the hand

513
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 8: of God, and I see God turning the heart of

514
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 8: President Trump in various directions.

515
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,239
Speaker 1: Bishop, just straight up, President Trump doesn't have to do

516
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: this stuff. He's in his second term. He can do

517
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: whatever he wants. He doesn't have to come back and

518
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: honor people of faith. Yet he went forward and established

519
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: the Well, he moved the Faith Office into the West

520
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: wing of the White House. Yes, he is pacing front

521
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: and center and emphasis on faith in and through everything

522
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: that's going on into every branch of the administration. What

523
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: he did in the Rose Garden, for example, was astounding.

524
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: When you look at this whole Religious Liberty Commission and

525
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: this anti Christian biased task force that he's establishing. Bishop,

526
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: that's serious stuff. He's throwing down. He merely means and

527
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: he's standing by his word.

528
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's throwing down. He's delting down on his support

529
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 8: to the faith community. He has say it to us

530
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 8: at tables, at in private and publicly. He stands with

531
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 8: the faith community and anybody who stands against it, He's

532
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 8: going to come against it with all his might and

533
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 8: all his discretion and power. And I can honor a

534
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 8: person that has faith in God that does not just

535
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 8: say it by words, but they show it by putting

536
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 8: their support behind the people of faith. And I appreciate

537
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 8: the platform and the opportunity that he has given us

538
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 8: as men and women of God to raise our voices

539
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 8: of faith not only in the White House, but throughout

540
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 8: the nation with his great support.

541
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: And Bishop, we know we live in a day in

542
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: time where there's a lot of division and strife and chaos.

543
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: You know that in the midst of it. What's interesting

544
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: President Trump's his approval ratings are soaring, they're going straight up.

545
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: I think it's religidship, kind of like this common sense revolution.

546
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: He's serious about and borders, and he's serious about the budget,

547
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: and he's, hey, all even throw bathrooms. He wants to

548
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: make sure we've got the right people going into the bathrooms,

549
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm saying. Bishop, That's at the

550
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: heart of his messaging right now, and it's and it's

551
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: connecting with the American people.

552
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 8: It really is. Because the left is focused on fighting Trump.

553
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 8: That's their agenda. They're only agenda. They don't have any

554
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 8: other agenda but fighting Trump. Let's destroy him and get

555
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 8: rid of him so we can implement what agenda. But

556
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 8: President Trump is focused on the agenda of the American people,

557
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 8: protecting the borders, protecting religious liberties, making sure that a

558
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 8: boy is not going into the bathroom with my daughter,

559
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 8: all of those different things, and raising concerns around our

560
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 8: economy and so on and so forth. I want you

561
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 8: to know, I am just glad to see a president.

562
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 8: Whether you like it or not, whether you agree with

563
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 8: him or not, you have to say, the things that

564
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 8: he said on his campaign trail are the things that

565
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 8: he is daily working to implement, and that really changes

566
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 8: the game for the presidency and for elected officials and

567
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 8: elective office in the future. Now and in the future.

568
00:30:55,640 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bishop, it's that promises made, promises kept. Peace, Appreciate

569
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: predictability in the midst of it. Bishop, I know you

570
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 1: also are pretty sensitive to what's happening around the globe.

571
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: We saw this week the tension escalate between India and Pakistan.

572
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: We've always been watching what's been happening in the Middle East, Israel,

573
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: Iran and all that people are praying about Ukraine, Russia

574
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: and more. But Bishop, as we as we reflect on

575
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: the world stage and our concerns, how are you thinking

576
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: and how are you praying? And how should we be

577
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: maybe joining in on thinking biblically. I think in responding

578
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: biblically in this hour.

579
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 8: I've always preached that Israel and is God's time clock.

580
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 8: What is happening in the Holy Land and in the

581
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 8: Middle East is an indication that we are living in

582
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 8: the last of the evil days, in these evil days,

583
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 8: and I believe that whilst everybody sees doom and gluten,

584
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 8: I see this as a prophetic opportunity for the Church

585
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 8: to raise her voice and to be the light in

586
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 8: the midst of dogs. Gordon John. The Bible says God

587
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 8: is light and there's no darkness in him, and if

588
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 8: we're in him, we are to be light. We are

589
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 8: to light up the world in the midst of the

590
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 8: gloom with the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

591
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 8: How do we do that? If my people call by

592
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 8: my name, humble themselves, pray, seek my face, repent, and

593
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 8: turn from our own shortcomings and wicked ways, then our

594
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 8: Father will forgive our sins. Hear from his Father in

595
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 8: Heaven and He'll heal our land. I believe that while

596
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 8: President Trump has been empowered elect the Fishers have been empowered,

597
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 8: God has given his church the power and the voice

598
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 8: in this hour to lead back people back to the

599
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 8: only hope, and that's the Lord Jesus Christ. And that's

600
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 8: the message we've got to stand on. In the midst

601
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 8: of encouraging the presence President and encouraging encouraging other people

602
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 8: in power, We've got to lift up the name of

603
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 8: Jesus and draw people back to him.

604
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: Bishop, It's Mother's Day weekend, and our moms mean the

605
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: world to us. Now where would we be without godly mothers?

606
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: I know. Also for some people it's a tough day

607
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: mom's gone, or maybe they grew up with a cold,

608
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: distant mom, or what have you. Bishop, what's your word

609
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: of encouragement? What are you thinking about? And what are

610
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: you going to be preaching about?

611
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 8: First Mom, Happy Mother's Day to you all. And I'm

612
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 8: glad that my mom is still alive. She is suffering

613
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 8: from dementia. Some days she does not know who I am.

614
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 8: But God reminded me that whether your mother knows who

615
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 8: you are, you know who she is. So you are

616
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 8: to honor her, and I honor my mother, and I

617
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 8: honor any mother and mothers who have birth children biologically

618
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 8: and those who have reared others children. And I want

619
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 8: you to know women, you are significant and children. Your

620
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 8: mother is significant to you. Honor her, why you have her,

621
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 8: Give her her flowers while she lives. For the Bible

622
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 8: said who can find a virtuous woman? And that's very rare.

623
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 8: So let us celebrate women. And That's what I'll be

624
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 8: doing this weekend in my message, empowering women, celebrating women

625
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 8: to know who they are, their significance, and how they're

626
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 8: to use that place of how in significance to impact

627
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 8: the life of those who they rear and those who

628
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 8: they connect with day by day.

629

Speaker 1: how you've given us such words of wisdom and direction

668
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: and encouragement, especially as relates back to moms.

669
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's so important right now. I think moms need

670
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 7: encouragement now more than they've ever needed it. There's so

671
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 7: many things going on in the culture, and they're being

672
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 7: bombarded with all kinds of ideologies, all kinds of distractions,

673
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 7: and hopefully this book is going to point moms back

674
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 7: to the centrality of the message of Jesus and why

675
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 7: their role is a mom is so important.

676
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: Hey, the old adage the hand that rocks the cradle

677
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: still rules the world. How do you what do you

678
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: think that's true?

679
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 7: Well, it's true because of the influence that mothers have

680
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 7: on their children. There's not a single person in the room,

681
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 7: whether you had a good mom or a bad mom,

682
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 7: we can all agree that our mothers play a tremendous

683
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 7: role in how we see ourselves and how we see

684
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 7: our role in the world. And I think that's never

685
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 7: going to change, and so it just it highlights the

686
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 7: fact that we need strong moms in the culture right now.

687
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 7: Strong moms raise strong kids. And if you're strong in

688
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 7: the Lord, you've got a chance to really shape the culture.

689
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 7: It's a powerful, powerful thing.

690
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: One of the things that its front and center and

691
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 1: kind of the mental health world is the whole issue

692
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,240
Speaker 1: of attachment theory, Heidi, and that bonding that takes place,

693
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: and especially during the first what couple of years I

694
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: saw where I think like eighty five percent of a

695
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: child's right brain is developed by age three. Start thinking

696
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: about that, how important presences connection, emotional atonement to a

697
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: child and you get that stuff right. It sets the

698
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: stage for everything down the road. Heidi. It's so important

699
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: that we get back to taking care of our kids

700
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 1: and loving them, doting on them. You can't love them enough.

701
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:02,479
Speaker 1: I don't think you can.

702
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 7: No it's true. I mean, I have seven children and

703
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 7: soon to have eight grand babies, and I can tell

704
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 7: you what I would love to see happen is that

705
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 7: attachment go right back to the moment you find out

706
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 7: that you are going to have a baby, the moment

707
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 7: you know whether you're going to adopt a child or

708
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 7: whether you find out that you're pregnant. That attachment actually

709
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 7: starts right there. And I think in the country right

710
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 7: now we are seeing a shift towards life again. What

711
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 7: a powerful opportunity to remind people that that attachment begins

712
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 7: the moment we understand that we are responsible for another

713
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 7: human being. It's a powerful thing. It takes us through

714
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 7: our entire lives. Tim I can't think of anything in

715
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 7: my life that has been more of a blessing to me,

716
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 7: aside from walking with Jesus and marrying my amazing husband,

717
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 7: than being the mother to seven children. It is a wonderful,

718
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 7: amazing relationship that God made and we get it for

719
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 7: our entire lives, and so it never goes away. And

720
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 7: I think we have an opportunity because once you're done

721
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 7: with the really busy seasons of motherhood, all the diapers

722
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 7: and feeding and all the up all night and all

723
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 7: those things you get in return a friend for life,

724
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 7: you know, someone These kids that I have now that

725
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 7: are in their thirties and twenties, most of them walking

726
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 7: with the Lord. And it's a powerful relationship that goes

727
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 7: from the moment we find out we're pregnant until the

728
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 7: Lord takes us home. It's pretty powerful.

729
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: Got to you're a big champion for moms. A lot

730
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: of the discussions today in the mental health area is

731
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: around anxiety and loneliness. A lot of moms feel super tired,

732
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: often feel inadequate. Talk to us about that and how

733
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: do we help quote step into those places and bring

734
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: a lot of hope and encouragement.

735
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 7: I love this question because if anyone's read my book,

736
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 7: I wrote a book for Tyindell several years ago called

737
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 7: Becoming Moms Strong, How to Fight with all that's in

738
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 7: you for your family and your faith, And in that

739
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 7: book I outline my struggle with anxiety. I spent thirty

740
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 7: years often on anxiety medications because I grew up in

741
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 7: an abusive home. So I understand very very well the

742
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 7: power of the parent child relationship. And my message to

743
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 7: moms is simple. It's very very simple. God offers healing,

744
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 7: and he's he was less concerned once I understood that

745
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 7: he was. He was concerned with where I was going.

746
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 7: And God had something he wanted to do and he

747
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 7: was going to shape my heart and my life through

748
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 7: the process of motherhood. And it was okay for me

749
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 7: to have a bad day. And I just started being

750
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 7: really real with my audiences. I just started saying, dude,

751
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 7: this was this was a rough one. You know, I

752
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 7: just ready to You know, where does a mom go

753
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 7: to resign? I remember saying that one day, and where

754
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 7: does a mom go to resign? And I want moms

755
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 7: to understand that God is in the business of redemption

756
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 7: and he oftentimes what he does, I think in mother's

757
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 7: is he heals our heart to the process of raising

758
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 7: our own children. So if you came from a place

759
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 7: like I did of brokenness and a hurt and anxiety,

760
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 7: God wants to heal your heart. And part of the

761
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 7: way he does that is through giving us children of

762
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 7: our own. And I told a story in that book

763
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 7: of when I was pregnant with our first daughter. She's

764
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 7: thirty four now, but I sat in the last class

765
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 7: of a childbirth education class. You know, Tim that's the

766
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 7: one where they lie to you and they tell you

767
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 7: if you breathe a certain way, it's not going to hurt.

768
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: Right.

769
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 7: So I'm sitting there last class, I start, you know,

770
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 7: just crying as everyone's kind of you know, shuffling out

771
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 7: of the room that night, and the birth instructor thought

772
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 7: I was sad because I was afraid of childbirth. Well,

773
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 7: I'd never had a baby, so I didn't know to

774
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 7: be afraid. I was afraid that my daughters are my sons,

775
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 7: would fear me the way I feared my father, and

776
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 7: I didn't want to be that. I didn't want that

777
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 7: for my kids. And Nolah said something to me I'll

778
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 7: never forget. She said, Hi to you don't know who

779
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 7: you are. You are redeemed and God is going to

780
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 7: write a new story on your life through the process

781
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 7: of having children. And the Lord has been so faithful

782
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 7: to do that over the thirty four years now that

783
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 7: I've been raising seven children. It really is a gift

784
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 7: and I want moms to see it that way. God

785
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 7: is always in the business of restoration.

786
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: You know, this is the day when we go out

787
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: and celebrate mom. Maybe get out to a restaurant, buy

788
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: something special, give her a card, let her know you'd

789
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: love her. But for Somehtie, it's also a tough day,

790
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: maybe a recent loss, maybe grew up with a painful past,

791
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: maybe some bad memories, or struggling with infertility. What's your

792
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: message to those women and to all of us out there,

793
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 1: I guess maybe in that space.

794
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's important that we recognize that. And

795
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 7: I've experienced the loss of a baby. I think that

796
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 7: loss really never goes away. But what we can do

797
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 7: is lean into what we know is true about God.

798
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 7: That's why I wrote Bible Promises for moms. God's word

799
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 7: is so full of promises that he is near to

800
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 7: the broken heart of the Bible says that God sees

801
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 7: us when we cry, that he literally collects our tears

802
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 7: in a bottle, and God understands our pain and our suffering.

803
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 7: I also think it's really important that we not stuff

804
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 7: those feelings or pretend like it does hurt when it does.

805
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 7: And then once you collect, you know, we recognize, hey,

806
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 7: this is what we're going through. At least for me,

807
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 7: I have leaned into what I know is true. Because

808
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 7: when you're in those places, the enemy wants to lie

809
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 7: to you. He wants you to think that you're never

810
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 7: going to feel whole again. You want you to believe

811
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 7: that this is just where you're going to be for

812
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 7: the rest of your life, and it simply isn't true.

813
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 7: So we lean into the voice of truth, which is

814
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 7: the voice of the Savior, who says, I love you,

815
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 7: I see you. Hang on, Better things are coming.

816
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: How do you remember growing up there was a song,

817
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,920
Speaker 1: an old hymn about my mother's prayers have followed me.

818
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: I remember as a boy listening to that in church.

819
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: It would often take me back into it just a

820
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: reflection time about my mother who had to pray a

821
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,280
Speaker 1: lot for this boy, but the prayers of a mama

822
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: toward her kids. And as we again reflect on our

823
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: mother's this Mother's Day and more, just talk to us

824
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: about maybe some lessons God's taught you about the significance

825
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: of prayer and how important it is that by the

826
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: way prayers are caught, you learn to pray. It's caught

827
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: in top and it usually starts with mama.

828
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it really does. My grandmother is actually the one

829
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 7: who introduced me to Jesus, and I still remember. I

830
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 7: love to tell audiences. I can almost smell the menthal

831
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 7: latum because she loved wear a mental latum, right, So

832
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 7: she tucked me into bed at night when I was little,

833
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 7: and she's the one who introduced me to the Lord.

834
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 7: And that woman prayed for me my entire life, and

835
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 7: her prayers, I think are a huge reason, a huge

836
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 7: part of the healing that God has done in my life.

837
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 7: God's interested in generational healing, and our prayers are powerful.

838
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 7: The Bible says in James that the prayer of a

839
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 7: righteous person is both powerful and effective. And I think

840
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 7: sometimes moms, especially when we're surrounded by struggles when we

841
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 7: have a child, maybe even you're a mom of a

842
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 7: prodigal or I've got a strong, willed child on your hands,

843
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 7: and we feel like there's nothing we can do. And

844
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 7: that is never the case, because God wants us to

845
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 7: get to the end of ourselves. The Bible says that

846
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 7: His strength is literally found in weakness, and it is

847
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 7: such a precious promise from the Lord. So if you're

848
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 7: feeling stressed, if you're feeling in over your head, if

849
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 7: you're feeling weak, congratulations, you're right where God wants you.

850
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 7: He is going to work through that weakness. Your prayers

851
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 7: are powerful and God is listening. It's an amazing truth

852
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 7: from the Bible.

853
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: Hidy Saint John Hay Mother's Day to you and all

878
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: I just simply wanted to share a poem that my

879
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: mother was going to give me on my high school graduation,

880
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: actually founded on her dresser, took it and put it

881
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: in my wallet, and I told her a little later

882
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: on in life what I had done at poem had

883
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: meant the world to me and still does today. It's

884
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: entitled of Age. Today, my guardianship for you is ended.

885
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: I cannot cross that last forbidden span, but love and

886
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: tears and prayers together blended to guide your steps from

887
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: babyhood to man. You walk alone with God from this

888
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 1: day forward to make if life whatever be His will,

889
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: provided you surrender to His guidance, allowing love of God

890
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: your heart to fill. I cherish all of our days,

891
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: both high and home, spun the happy days that blot

892
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: out every other. I bowed my head to thank you

Speaker 1: were born on. It's a lovely thing to be your mother.

894
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: I was written by Edna Devin Norris. One of my

895
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: favorite quotes is A kiss from my mother made me

896
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: a painter by Benjamin Weist. It's the power of affirmation,

897

Speaker 1: you know. I hope you enjoyed the program today. If

Speaker 1: your mom's still living, be sure to pick up the phone.

899
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: Call your mom. Better yet, jump in the car, go

900
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: see her if you can tell her you love her. Hey,
