1
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: Well, you know, our families are under attack and the

2
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: enemy is targeting the next generation. Well, today's guest is

3
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: here to share how we can intercede, take action and

4
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: fight for our children's hards But before we get to that,

5
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: joining me around the table was Kendrick Kelly.

6
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:40,640

00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: I am so ready. Let's go that mama bear comes out.

8
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 3: Leave my kids alone. But the enemy wants our children.

9
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 3: He wants them, and so we have to tell them

10
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: right now. How important, she says, help them build a

11
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: relationship with you said, they call their own and keep

12
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,480

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 5: I mean I was on my knees all the time

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 5: and it never stopped.

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:15,280

Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: Rebecca Lamb why Sunday, you have the same concern for

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: your kids. And I mean, like I said earlier, we've

37
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: had some crazy things.

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 7: To go on the last four years, especially actually I

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 7: was thinking about it today, just how crazy things have

40
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 7: shifted over these last couple of years.

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: But yet we need to be aware. But we we

42
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: can't be afraid.

43
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 7: We have to know our position, our authority, and take

44
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 7: our place because we are because Jesus is in us.

45
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,760

Speaker 2: I think we absolutely do.

49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 8: And if we don't impart into our children, grandchildren, what

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 8: they need to be learning, what they need to know,

Speaker 1: action bringing awakening and hope. And she's here to share

62
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: how God is moving in home, cities and nations.

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: Here you are. And it all started how many years ago, with.

64
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 9: Just over twenty years ago group, I decided to have

65
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 9: a couple girls over to study the Bible.

66
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: And it was a big deal. I was very nervous.

67
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: And you sat on your bed.

68
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 9: I sat on my bed in my bedroom because it

69
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 9: was the place that I felt the least afraid in

70
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 9: my whole house.

71
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: It's like one of my favorite places, sitting in my bed.

72
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I had three girls.

73
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 9: We sat crisscross apple sauce, and I opened my Bible

74
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 9: and said, you know, Jesus has greatly freed me from

75
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 9: so many things, and I want you to have that

76
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 9: same freedom.

77
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: Let's learn together. And I would even tell people, listen,

78
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 4: let's do this.

79
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 9: For a couple of weeks, and if God is even

80
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 9: bored and doesn't want to come, we just won't do

81
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 9: this anymore.

82
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: What happened? But God shows up?

83
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 9: What happened the first time? Tears tears, you know, women cried.

84
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 9: It was because it wasn't about me executing an organization

85
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 9: and a moment of industry.

86
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: It was these precious women who.

87
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: Caring for their Yeah.

88
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what drove me the whole time. And then

89
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 9: retreats broke out from there and it just it kind

90
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 9: of spiraled. And the whole time I was like, now, God, like,

91
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 9: I have a lot going on kids, Yeah, so this

92
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 9: can't become something.

93
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: It can't be like a thing. So we're not going

94
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 4: to name it.

95
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 9: The first retreat I had actually I told everybody just come,

96
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 9: but there's no name. And the people we rented the

97
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 9: retreat center from said, well, we need to put a

98
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 9: title up on the marquee and I was like, lord,

99
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 9: they want a title like no, And so I said,

100
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 9: what do you want me to say?

101
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: And he said, I want you to put up on

102
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: the marquee.

103
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 9: Wait for me, And he said because I waited for

104
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 9: you for a long time.

105
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: Wow.

106
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 4: And he gave us no agenda. He said, I want

107
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: you to come in, bring some food, wear, sweats.

108
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 9: I was plucking on a piano seriously, like I think

109
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 9: I played piano on fourth grade. You know.

110
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 4: We didn't have any great work.

111
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 9: It was just but we laid before God and I said,

112
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 9: I wonder what would happen if we didn't tell God

113
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 9: what to do and had no agenda. And so that

114
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 9: was thirty four women. At least we'll eat and have

115
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 9: fun and yack. I mean if if God doesn't show up,

116
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 9: we could still have a good time.

117
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: Right, that's kind of goes.

118
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 8: Sorry.

119
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: I told everybody could go home.

120
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 9: I know, God moved and it was amazing and we

121
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 9: all got touched and we're like, not even the same person.

122
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: This isn't a thing. Everybody go back to your own church.

123
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 9: And then eight months later, the Holy Spirit said round

124
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 9: them up again. Let everybody invite three people and get

125
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 9: a bigger place. And then I was like, oh, okay, now

126
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 9: we're going to have an agenda. And I got out

127
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 9: my journal and I said, okay, God, what are we

128
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 9: going to do? And all I could write in big

129
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 9: like kindergarten letters, was you are enough for me.

130
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: And he was like, you're going to wait for me again.

131
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 9: You're not going to have an agenda, And I thought,

132
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 9: oh oh, because.

133
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: We have now over one hundred people coming.

134
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: We worship on the piano.

135
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 9: No, okay, we kind of got our act together on

136
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 9: that one.

137
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 4: I was like, we got to get some some people

138
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: that are not order, so that's something right.

139
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 9: But I did play I believe I played Billy Graham

140
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 9: preaching on.

141
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: The cross because God did give me that.

142
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 9: He said, I want you every time you get women together,

143
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 9: I want you to preach on the cross.

144
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 4: So I was like, oh, Billy Graham, do it here.

145
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 4: Let's play this. And because because he just.

146
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 9: Said, everything that you want is on the other side

147
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 9: of the cross as an encounter with a God who

148
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 9: died and resurrected and bled so good.

149
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: And you know when when we tell God like well,

150
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: you know we'll do this, but now we don't want

151
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: to plan for don't ever say that to God.

152
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: Because he will show you.

153
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: That big he'll interrupt our plans and do so much

154
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: more than we can imagine. But the thing about you,

155
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: even though you kind of did it with your intrepidation,

156
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: you were still surrendered, yes, and you still your heart

157
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: wanted to do the will of God and make a difference.

158
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: So let's talk about how then it grew into a

159
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: movement that you didn't want it to grow into.

160
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, well it kind of landed when I had a

161
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 9: dream and in the dream I was rounding up women

162
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 9: in Portland Organ. Lisa Beavie was in the dream, friends

163
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 9: with Lisa, and there was a date.

164
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: In the dream.

165
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 9: Now, Lisa Beavie is very packed. Her schedule is not open,

166
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 9: as you know. And I thought, well, I'm gonna call

167
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 9: Lisa and say, hey, this is the day could.

168
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: You come and speak to some women?

169
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 9: And if she says yes, then we're really doing it,

170
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 9: and if she says no, then.

171
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: I'm off the hook.

172
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 9: Well I called her and she said I'm actually free

173
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 9: that day, and I went, oh no. So that was

174
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 9: downtown at the Marriott in Portland Organ. It was about

175
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 9: six hundred and fifty women that came and kind of.

176
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 4: The rest is history. Decided to call that.

177
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 9: I called that event her voice, but then that stuck

178
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 9: as the name of the movement.

179
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: Her voice then is amazing.

180
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: So let's talk a little bit about what you're burning

181
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: desire is for right now? What do you feel like

182
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: the Lord is showing you, especially for women that are

183
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: watching right now, women that love God, women that you

184
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: know you're just happy kind of where you are, and

185
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: yet we just want to encourage.

186
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: You that God has more for you to do. Yeah,

187
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: he really does.

188
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 9: So when women go silent, we lose a whole generation.

189
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 4: And the silence of women has been a.

190
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 9: Problem, and the people who are the most affected negatively

191
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 9: are children by that.

192
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 4: And so what we know is that.

193
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 9: Unresolved trauma is connected to the ability to use your

194
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 9: voice in a righteous way.

195
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: And we kind of put that together.

196
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 9: Through our retreats praying for people and realizing.

197
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: Wow, when she got healed, she stepped out and used

198
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 4: your voice.

199
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 9: And so really, what I cannot shake is the attack

200
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 9: on family like you open the show with, and the

201
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 9: attack on children. And I think God's heart right now

202
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 9: is we need to throw everything we have into the

203
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 9: next generation to make sure that they they're going to

204
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 9: carry revival, They're going to carry the reformation.

205
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 4: They're going to carry this nation.

206
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 9: And so I just consider it like such a beautiful

207
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 9: thing that and of my age that are older get

208
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 9: to tee them up and do everything to make sure.

209
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 4: That they make it.

210
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 9: And so, because these attacks have been so crazy, been

211
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 9: praying through God what do we need to do? And

212
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 9: he said, well, the fabric of our nation and is family.

213
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 4: You know, it's not.

214
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 9: A subject matter, it's a it's the fabric of this nation.

215
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 9: And so it used to be the society was actually

216
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 9: helping us disciple, right. Society was, you know, don't move

217
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 9: in together before you get married, and you do everything

218
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 9: in order.

219
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: It was and it was leave it to Beaver, Yeah,

220
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: the Brady Bunch, right, right, those kind of shows.

221
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, so you had kind of culture to back you

222
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 9: up if you you know, it was easier in the

223
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 9: way to disciple your children.

224
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 4: But now if.

225
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 9: Anything goes do what you feel like, there's multiple ways

226
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 9: to God.

227
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 4: There's so much that there's no way a.

228
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 9: Child can piece it together themselves, right, And there's no

229
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 9: way that a pastor should be responsible to disciple our children.

230
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 9: And that's what I feel so strongly about is women,

231
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 9: we have been given these children to disciple them. We

232
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 9: are their pastor, yes, And if we have to poke

233
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 9: around in the Bible until we find something that you know,

234
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 9: we have to do whatever we can to impart to

235
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 9: them spiritual matters.

236
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: And because when we pray and we invite the presence

237
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: of God, and and we've got the Bible, which is

238
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: the word of God. It's amazing things can happen.

239
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: That's right.

240
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the things that I tell my girls

241
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 3: is it's my job to steward you. I don't know why,

242
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: but for whatever reason, God has entrusted me to steward you,

243
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: and so that's I'm going to do the best that

244
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: I can. But you have to choose your relationship with

245
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: the Lord. And I was just thinking about what you

246
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: were saying about encouraging these young people. But the family

247
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: itself is so important, and even young people have to

248
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: understand the value of the family because if we're not careful,

249
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: they'll lean into their peers, that's their support. But they

250
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: have to lean into their family for support.

251
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: So what are some practical.

252
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 3: Things that as the church body we can do. Because

253
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: it's one thing just to sit in a room with

254
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: women and say you should do this, and you should

255
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 3: try that, and you should and just talk at them.

256
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: But what are actual things that we can do as

257
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: the hands and the feet to encourage the family.

258
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 9: Yes, well, to your point, the Jewish calendar does not

259
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 9: have Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents' Day. It only has

260
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 9: family Day. Because people are not celebrated for who they

261
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 9: are apart from a family, they're they're celebrated for their tribe.

262
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 10: Yeah.

263
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 4: Right, So one of the things.

264
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 9: Practically that we need to do is actually start seeing

265
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 9: our family as not a list of things to do

266
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 9: or got to get them.

267
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 4: You know, I'm just the uber driver.

268
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 9: I'm just you know that to kind of function and

269
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 9: kind of survive.

270
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 4: We're not in survival mode. We're in mission mode.

271
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 9: So really the practicals start with my belief system.

272
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: We're on a mission.

273
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 9: Like ministry for my family isn't Jenny and they all

274
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 9: watch me.

275
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 4: We're actually doing together.

276
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 9: My daughter is the head of worship, my son plays

277
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 9: the drums.

278
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 4: They can't have jobs because they need to do ministry.

279
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 9: To me, you know, it is all of it right,

280
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 9: and it's a family that's actually on a mission. And

281
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 9: we're not missing family. We're hitting the mark on family.

282
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 9: So so practically speaking, if you have young kids, it

283
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 9: is to put spiritual things in them now. So like,

284
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 9: for instance, we have an app that we made and

285
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 9: we have my daughter made these little jingles of scripture.

286
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 9: I make my kids sing them and we put the

287
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 9: words into them so that they can memorize scripture. Then

288
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 9: we put it on our app. Have them memorized scripture,

289
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 9: have them sing.

290
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 4: We have our prayer.

291
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 9: Guide for our prayer hubs, actually for ages six and under.

292
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 4: We also have one for teenagers.

293
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 9: So when I have my prayer hub, I'm not showing

294
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 9: my children, look at your mom, pray again. They know

295
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 9: I can pray. They see me pray. But my eight

296
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 9: year old and my ten.

297
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 4: Year old actually read the prayer guide for.

298
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 9: The family and they feel so good about it, right,

299
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 9: because they're leading prayer and it's shorter, it's a shorter

300
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 9: guid me wrong, it's actually pretty beefy for the kids.

301
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 4: But these are practical things you can do.

302
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 9: And you have to go on the calendar, right because

303
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 9: if it doesn't get on the calendar, it's not getting done.

304
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and son't be an afterthought. That's right, that's right.

305
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And you have any complaining from any of

306
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: the kids, like mom, we have to do this.

307
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 4: Only if I'm doing all the talking.

308
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 9: So it's fair, yes, so powerful when they lead and

309
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 9: you bring like the hot chocolate, the whip cream, the

310
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 9: stuff that I normally don't pull out everywhere we go.

311
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 4: You don't and it's your friends.

312
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 9: So my my daughter has a prayer hub with her

313
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 9: friends and they ask to have a prayer hub every

314
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 9: day because it's their friends and they're all really excited

315
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 9: about leading the prayer points. And you know, they're eight

316
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 9: and nine years old. So I think giving empowering them,

317
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 9: like if they just have to sit and listen to

318
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 9: you talk all day, it's probably not going to go well.

319
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 4: But empowering them would be.

320
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: Letting me pray.

321
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but making it such a comfortable thing.

322
00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the power God.

323
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 9: Moves through them actually, like we've had miracles.

324
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 4: I remember one of my daughters had a sliver and

325
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 4: she was like, Mom, I have.

326
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 2: This, You'll just do it.

327
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh my gosh, let me get

328
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: a needle. And my answer daughter goes, I'm just gonna pray.

329
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 4: She's like, Jesus, get that out. I looked down at

330
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 4: her finger. When I got the tweeter, it was gone, Wow, Wow,

331
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 4: it was gone.

332
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 8: And I was like, whoa, Like it's so matter of

333
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 8: fact for them, Oh yeah, this is what we do.

334
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 4: They take God out his word.

335
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: I have such great faith.

336
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I love you mentioned your start and it's

337
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 5: amazing how you started, how you just heard God and

338
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 5: you just.

339
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: Continue to move. You know in our.

340
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 5: Society, fear keeps people paralyzed. You know, like you talk

341
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 5: about you only need two well, yes, but fear and

342
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 5: faith are completely different.

343
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: Fear keeps you stuck. Faith prepearls you forward.

344
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 5: How do you dismantle the fear so that you can

345
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 5: really impact others? To get started with just a two

346
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 5: yeah question.

347
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 9: Fear is Wow, that is the handicap of all everything. Right,

348
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 9: So here's what I like to do with fear is

349
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 9: I like to interrogate it like I'm you know in

350
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 9: one of those movies where you go into the the

351
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 9: room and the light.

352
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do.

353
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 9: I look at fear. Jesus is standing next to me.

354
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 9: This is just what I do. And I say, what

355
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 9: are you trying to accuse me of? What are you

356
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 9: saying about me?

357
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 4: And I let that.

358
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 9: Fear actually instead of I don't want to hear it,

359
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 9: I want to and trying to avoid it, and it's

360
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 9: just kind of chatter. Now it's just static and chatter

361
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 9: that's still there.

362
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: Say what are you saying to me?

363
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 9: Oh, I'm not a good mom, because we could do

364
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 9: a whole episode on this. But I actually went through

365
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 9: a massive fear that I wasn't enough for my kids.

366
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 9: And there's a whole deliverance story around that. And it

367
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 9: came from me finally stopping and going what is my problem?

368
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 9: And Fear said, you're not good at this. You're going

369
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 9: to fail your kids. And I said, Jesus, is that true?

370
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 4: He said no. I said what's the truth? And it

371
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 4: was really this simple. What are you saying?

372
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: Okay?

373
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 4: Is that truth? That's not true? What's the truth? And

374
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 4: he said, you're a really good mom. That's all he

375
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 4: said to me.

376
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 9: And then he said every time you because my husband

377
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 9: would say, hey, are you going to make dinner for

378
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 9: the kids, I would hear are you have you even

379
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 9: planned anything? Like are you are you like totally going

380
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 9: to like forget about feeding the kids again?

381
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 4: His words would actually go through a filter and be changed.

382
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 4: I mean he's demonic, really, f You're so demonic, and.

383
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 9: It would change I'm like, well, I mean yes, I

384
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 9: was going to and now I feel like a bad mom. Right,

385
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 9: So if I would hear these things like that, I said,

386
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 9: now this is what's crazy. For two weeks is all

387
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 9: it took. And I told my husband I'm going to

388
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 9: sound weird. But every time I hear accusation that I'm

389
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 9: a terrible mom.

390
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 4: I'm going to say I'm a really good mom.

391
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 9: So at those random times I'd be like, I'm a

392
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 9: really good mom. Two weeks and it completely left, Thank you.

393
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,479
Speaker 4: I have never.

394
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 9: Once since that point thought that I wasn't the mom

395
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 9: that my kids needed.

396
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 4: Now.

397
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 9: I've made a ton of mistakes, I've apologized a lot,

398
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 9: I've learned so much I would do different, But in

399
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 9: all of that, I don't feel the shame of failing

400
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 9: them that was going to bury me before.

401
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's good. Don't you think too that living.

402
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 8: As parents and as moms, living it out in front

403
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 8: of the kids and with them, whether it's just practical

404
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 8: things of integrity, we don't lie, this is because we

405
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 8: don't lie, or this is how we treat our friends,

406
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 8: our neighbors, this is how Jesus said for us to

407
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 8: love that we're doing all the maybe routine things scriptures

408
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 8: and reading and praying, but even more than that, just

409
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 8: instructing the gospel, living it out, helping them in their

410
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 8: daily life of how they just deal with life, friends,

411
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 8: each other, siblings.

412
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 4: You know.

413
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, because some things are not taught, they're caught right

414
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 9: and they catch it from us, just like I'll listen

415
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 9: to my kids repeat afraid.

416
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 4: And then I realized, oh, it's because I do that

417
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 4: I say that, you know. So they are a little

418
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 4: jump drives.

419
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 9: They just you know, take in what they're seeing and

420
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 9: experiencing from you. And I do remember I have one

421
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 9: little she does. She has an evangelism.

422
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 4: Edge on her.

423
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 9: And I'm driving through the coffee and I'm getting the

424
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 9: you know, the car and all that.

425
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: She goes.

426
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 9: Well, I'm asked her she knows Jesus and I'm like, oh,

427
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 9: I'll flustered, like okay, you know. And then I said,

428
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 9: so you got to give me a little more warning

429
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 9: next time. And I felt like I did to drive

430
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 9: back through that thing because I couldn't get it up

431
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 9: fast enough.

432
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: You know.

433
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 9: But they do want to see us express our faiths.

434
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 4: It's very important to them. Yeah, And I think what

435
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 4: I always wanted to do is.

436
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 9: Make sure that I didn't just look like and act

437
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 9: like Jesus inside church, because I didn't want them to go, oh,

438
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 9: I get it.

439
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 4: Jesus is in church on.

440
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 9: Sundays, but he's not at the grocery store. He's not

441
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 9: when you drive through the coffee shop. So I have

442
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 9: tried to actually intentionally pray for people the cash register.

443
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 4: And say how are you doing? Do you know Jesus?

444
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 9: And let them watch me do that, And it's actually accountability.

445
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so good. That's so good. Well, stay right,

446
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: we are going to be right back after this break.

447

Speaker 11: Some books deserve to be held, cherished, remembered.

448
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 2: This book is more than that. It's a place to

449
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: meet God.

00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 9: People who make this for iNTS exactly, and just you know,

479
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 9: there's no like you have to say it this way.

480
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 4: It's more like you can offer it anytime.

481
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 9: There's no prayer hub police, right, But it's more like,

482
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 9: you know what, I don't.

483
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 4: Pray for the schools of my community.

484
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 9: You know, I don't hardly ever pray for my pastor.

485
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: I don't.

486
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 4: So these are thirty points. You take community at the end.

487
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 9: Pray for each other and it just helps us cover

488
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 9: ground that we might otherwise not be praying about.

489
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 6: Smart What would you say to the mom who is

490
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 6: just hitting a wall with their kids, Like they've invited

491
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 6: them to the things, to the church and the community

492
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 6: and prayer and they're just so like deep in the

493
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 6: culture and what the world says about them that they're

494
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 6: identifying with that. What would you say to them to

495
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 6: break through that?

496
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 4: Mom?

497
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: Right?

498
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. Number one is pray.

499
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 9: I mean I loved prayer and then I had a

500
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 9: teenager and then it went from loving.

501
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 4: Prayer to dear God in Heaven.

502
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 9: Everything I'm doing is making it worse.

503
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 4: So and I got scriptures out. The Lord would not

504
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 4: let me pray prayers.

505
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 9: That sounded like, oh, you see what she's doing, how

506
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 9: she's acting, and she doesn't love herself and what did

507
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 9: I do wrong?

508
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 4: And it was a lot about me. What have I

509
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 4: done better? What you know? And God was like, get

510
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 4: over yourself.

511
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: He actually said that to me, Get over yourself.

512
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 4: Get over yourself.

513
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: And he said that to me before too. Okay, so it.

514
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 9: Must be a thing because you because the guilt. If

515
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 9: you carry guilt and fear into prayer, you're not going

516
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 9: to get anywhere. And I said, okay, then what do

517
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 9: you want me to pray? And he showed me a

518
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 9: picture of her on the keyboard worshiping.

519
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: Never seen her do that.

520
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 9: She's a good singer, but I never seen her on

521
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 9: a keyboard worshiping before. She was like thirteen years old

522
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 9: at the time, and he said, pray for her.

523
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 4: That's actually who she is.

524
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 9: And so I said, okay, I thank you God for

525
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 9: the woman who is worshiping you in spirit and truth.

526
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 9: I thank you God for the melodies that are coming

527
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 9: out of her spirit that are praising your name.

528
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 4: I thank you God. And I was literally praying.

529
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 9: Things I'd never seen, never even known.

530
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 4: And that's who that's what she's doing today. She's a worshiper.

531
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 9: And I remember when she came to me and she goes, Mom,

532
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 9: I think I want a keyboard.

533
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 4: I threw her in the car. We went with a

534
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 4: guitar center and she's like.

535
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: Wow, I was fast.

536
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 4: And she set up in her room and said.

537
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 9: No, nobody listened to me, you know, because she's like

538
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 9: fifteen at the time, and shut her door. And for

539
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 9: some reason, at fifteen, you don't realize your voice is

540
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 9: going over the whole house.

541
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 4: I literally heard her singing yeah. And I just sat in.

542
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 9: The hallway and wept because there were two few years

543
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 9: on my face praying for the one I was now seeing.

544
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 9: And so there has to be faith faith, what God,

545
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 9: who are they under the costume, under the culture, under

546
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 9: the stuff that the enemy's imparted.

547
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 4: No enemy in.

548
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 9: Parts is so much weaker than what God has put

549
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 9: inside of them.

550
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 6: Do you think they should stop inviting to church or

551
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 6: feeling like they're pushing something on them and just pray

552
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 6: and like love.

553
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: Thank you for asking that.

554
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 9: I think that you have to jump in their world,

555
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 9: not jump in their sin and not agree with it.

556
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 9: But it looks like okay. I met a woman who

557
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 9: is helping us. We have a Mayday event coming up

558
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 9: in May five cities and she's part of the prayer team.

559
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 4: And she says to me, Jenny, my daughter.

560
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 9: Ran to Portland, and I knew what she was going

561
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 9: to say next. And she called me and wants to

562
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 9: have a relationship with me. And I told her I

563
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 9: was part of this May Day and I was on

564
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 9: the prayer team.

565
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 4: And she kind of she started sweating and mom, what

566
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 4: are you doing?

567
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 9: You know, because we're gonna you know, stand for family.

568
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 9: And I said, well you might do this, You might say, hey,

569
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 9: are you because she's part of a group of you know,

570
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 9: anti what we're doing.

571
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 4: And I said, Colin asked her if she's protesting us.

572
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 9: In Seattle, because if she is, then just make sure

573
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 9: that you make a time for coffee with her, because

574
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 9: when you're on the prayer team and she's on the protest,

575
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 9: make sure you get a time for coffee with her

576
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 9: and say, let's make sure we meet up if you're

577
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 9: protesting and we can.

578
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

579
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 9: And then if you're not protesting, then why you just

580
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 9: come with me. I'm on the prayer team. You can

581
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 9: be my prayer partner. So you jump into their life.

582
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 4: Not their sin. Yeah, and love them.

583
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: That's good right.

584
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 9: Without religion, it's hard, but I think that's what makes

585
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 9: the biggest difference, because.

586
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 4: They're waiting for you to reject them. They're waiting for them.

587
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 8: You're protesting, let's at least meet up for coffee.

588
00:24:54,560 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, Because it's loving them despite what they're doing, and

589
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 7: it's not getting offended by what they're doing.

590
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: Take it rational. Yeah.

591
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 9: I think that's the hardest thing about motherhood is I

592
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 9: always want to take it personal.

593
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 2: Yes, well, and.

594
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: Really trusting God with him, like really giving them to

595
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: God in that season.

596
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 4: Not trying to control it.

597
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: So you know, we're just about out of time, Rebecca,

598
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: I wonder if you just take a moment and just

599
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: pray the sinner's prayer for someone that's watching that you're

600
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: listening to what we're saying, and we would be remiss

601
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: if we didn't give you an opportunity to invite Jesus

602
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: into your heart into your life.

603
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: Today.

604
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: Some of you are like, wow, that to me a surprise.

605
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm listening, but you know, maybe I want to do that.

606
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: We just take a moment, do that and we'll repeat

607
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: after you.

608
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

609
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 7: You know, Jesus did the hard work and he made

610
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 7: it simple for us. It's really just receiving the free

611
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 7: get to salvation. So just repeat this prayer after me, Dear.

612
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 4: Lord Jesus, the Lord Jesus, I confess that I'm a sinner.

613
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 8: I can confess that I'm a sinner.

614
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 7: And I know that you died on the cross for

615
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 7: my sins. Lord, I repent, and I asked that you

616
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 7: would wash me in your blood.

617
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: And said you wash.

618
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 7: I asked that you would come into my life and

619
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 7: be the lord of my life.

620
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 2: Be the Lord, Lord of my life.

621
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 7: And God Is submit my life to you and Holy Spirit.

622
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 7: I just asked that you would feel me now in

623
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 7: Jesus name Jesus.

624
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 2: Amen.

625
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: Amen, What a great prayer, and what a great opportunity

626
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: for you to pray that prayer and invite him in.

627
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: And some of you watching you've you've never done that.

628
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: Maybe you've gone to church, maybe you haven't. Maybe you

629
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: do believe in God, you don't. But I'm just saying,

630
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: give Jesus an opportunity to change your life, because he will,

631
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: and the onus is not on me to prove who

632
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: he is. I'm telling you when you pray that prayer

633
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: with a sincere heart and say Jesus, I need you

634
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: come into my heart today forgive me. He will meet

635
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: you right where you are and it will be transformative.

636

676
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: today's guests is here to offer hope and encouragement through

Speaker 1: her own story and from her new devotional, The Power

00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: of Joy for Women. But before we get to that,

679
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: joining me around the table is April Simons, who has

680
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: not lost her joy.

681
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 2: I haven't.

682
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 12: I'm all about keeping my joy, aren't you. You know

683
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 12: it takes a conscious decision to keep it every single

684
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 12: day despite the circumstances, because God's not wanting us just

685
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 12: to fall down at each circumstance that happens along our way.

686
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: You know, we're supposed to keep our joy. He but

687
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: we have to make a choice. It's all a choice

688
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 2: to choose joy.

689
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 4: Joy is a choice.

690
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: So Dorothy need welcome to the table. And sometimes we

691
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: can choose joy over adversity or terrible things that are happening.

692
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And you know, the great reminder is in the word.

693
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 5: It's always in the word. It's always true that in

694
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 5: this world we will have trials and trivelations. Right take heart,

695
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 5: because I've overcome the world. That's powerful because it tells

696
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 5: us that it's going to happen whether we like it

697
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 5: or not.

698
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: It's going to happen.

699
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 5: But when we are intentional about choosing joy wins every time.

700
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: Rachel amb Brown The joy of the Lord is our strength, Oslee.

701
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 6: And it's so funny. The other day, my four year

702
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 6: old Judah was belly laughing. I mean, he was just

703
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 6: cracking up, and I just said to him, I said,

704
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 6: I love your joy, And I said, I want to

705
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 6: teach you something. The Bible says that laughter doeth good

706
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 6: like medicine. He goes, Mom, that means when I'm thick,

707
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 6: next time I could laugh and I'll be better. I

708
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 6: said something like that.

709
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: Of course he would say that that is so funny.

710
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: How are you? And Kelly? I am good.

711
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 3: You know, I've learned you can lose your joy is

712
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: it's gonna happen.

713
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: So that goes back to being a choice.

714
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 3: But also I find that it's really hard for me

715
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 3: to not have joy when I have a grateful heart.

716
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 3: And if I can rehearse all the time he's been faithful,

717
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 3: all the good things, all the blessings in my life,

718
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 3: it's so much easier to have joy when you're not

719
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: constantly looking at the negative and the struggle, but thinking

720
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 3: for what he's done is going to continue to do

721
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 3: good things.

722
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: Reading the past hundred having unforgiveness, Yeah, those things.

723
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: Good, they'll steal your joy. Unforgiveness will steal the joy.

724
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: It will take it away for sure.

725
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: Sidney Murdock, you've had a moment or two in life.

726
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: I know I have too, where we could have lost

727
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: our joy. Everything's happening around my goodness, Yes, a lot

728
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: of tears could have.

729
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 8: But I think that when our hope is in the

730
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 8: bigness of our God and not in our bigness of

731
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 8: our circumstances, because He's so much bigger than that, then

732
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 8: that hope can bring I think because the scriptures has

733
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 8: hurt hope deferred, we will lose our joy. So hoping

734
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 8: that big God that we serve, yeah, brings joy.

735
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: I remember not too long ago, I was at a

736
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: place just feeling overwhelmed and just so many things going on,

737
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: and the only thing I.

738
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: Could pray was this.

739
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: I just said, Lord, I love you, I praise you,

740
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: I believe you, and I thank you for all your

741
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: goodness in my life. And that's all I got to say.

742
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't think of anything else, but I wanted to

743
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: know that in spite of everything going on, I'm still

744
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,239
Speaker 1: going to praise you.

745
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm still going to thank you. I'm still going to

746
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: love you. Nothing will ever stop that.

771
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: going to have things we go through in life, but

772
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: we also have the promise that He'll never leave us

773
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: and he'll never forsake us.

774
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 2: Amen. So take us back.

775
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: To growing up and getting saved, I mean Jesus.

776
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

777
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 13: So I went to a church growing up, Methodist church,

778
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 13: but they never taught salvation.

779
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: That church does teach salvation now.

780
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 13: But at the age of seventeen, I went to a

781
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 13: full gospel church. And when I walked in the door,

782
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 13: I was like, yeah, I was right, these folks are weird.

783
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 2: And literally I kept waiting.

784
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 13: I kept my eyes open because I thought they were

785
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 13: going to roll around on.

786
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: The floor or pip snakes are so weird things.

787
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 13: How my eyes opened and that never happened. But what

788
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 13: did happen was I was like, yeah, they're different.

789
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: But they have what I need. Yeah, and I.

790
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 13: Come from a broken home in fifth grade and so

791
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,479
Speaker 13: I was like, wow, they have just.

792
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 2: What I needed.

793
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

794
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: Well, and what you're talking about is the presence of God.

795
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean that you walked in the tangible presence of God.

796
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 1: You know, all of us should be in a church

797
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: that when we walk in we feel the presence of

798
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: God because it's only then that people can get saved

799
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: and healed and delivered.

800
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 2: So you guys say yes, So what's.

801
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 13: So crazy is I didn't want to go to the

802
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 13: Holy Roller church because they.

803
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: Were all Holy Rolls. I became the biggest Holy Rollers.

804
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 13: To this day, I'm still rolling and I'm the biggest

805
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 13: Holy Roller that the church ever had. So at seventeen,

806
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 13: I got saved, and I didn't take it for granted

807
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 13: because all of these kids that grew up in it

808
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 13: were taking it for granted.

809
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 2: And so they asked me to become.

810
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 13: The youth pastor at nineteen, and then I started traveling

811
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 13: as an evangelist. At twenty one, my youth group, you know,

812
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 13: they were all wanting to go have pizza and go bowling,

813
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 13: and I'm like, but we need a prayer meeting first.

814
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 13: And after the prayer meeting, you know, because I was

815
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 13: radically saved.

816
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 2: So everything's going great.

817
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,919
Speaker 1: And then God brings a man into your life, yes,

818
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: a young man, Yes, what happened till us?

819
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 13: So I went to undergrad and then I moved to

820
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 13: Virginia Beach to go to graduate school. After graduate school,

821
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 13: I went on the road full time. But then my

822
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 13: pastor John Jim and s at Rock Church had asked me.

823
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: To love John Jim and he's Lord Anne as well. Yeah,

824
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,959
Speaker 1: industry there, great church, yes, And.

825
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 2: So I met my husband there.

826
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 13: I had Bishop's blessing, I did all of the right things, married,

827
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 13: three years pregnant with my daughter, and I was nine

828
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 13: months pregnant. Five days before I delivered my daughter, my

829
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 13: husband announced that he was leaving.

830
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: So I'm like, what can you all imagine?

831
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: Seriously, like, when you're nine months pregnant, is there any

832
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: time more that you need your husband?

833
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 6: I mean literally that is I can't imagine, Like what

834
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 6: were you thinking and feeling in that moment?

835
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 13: So my emotions were going crazy and the I can't remember.

836
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 13: One of the first things I thought was I want

837
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 13: to go home to be with my family. Yeah, but

838
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 13: my doctor was there, so I'm like, God, what am

839
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 13: I going to do?

840
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 2: And I really I was in shock. God days, I'm shocking, right,

841
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: you know, I'm.

842
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 13: In shock, and I'm already two weeks overdue, and here

843
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 13: I am.

844
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: So I had to tress in to the Lord.

845
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 13: And really I was still in shock and in denial

846
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 13: and just devastated.

847
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: And You're thinking, we can work this out. Somehow God

848
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: can turn this around.

849
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 13: So that was after right now I'm thinking I'm going

850
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 13: to have this baby.

851
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 2: I've never had a baby.

852
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 13: This is brand new, and so I really I was

853
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 13: just numb. And then later on I'm thinking, Okay, we're

854
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 13: gonna we're going to fast and pray.

855
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: And we're going to see his deliverance. But somebody has

856
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 2: to want the deliverance. And you can make choices.

857
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 13: What I learned, you can never make a choice or

858
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 13: decision for anyone. If I could make choices and decisions

859
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 13: for somebody, my husband would be alive, we would be married,

860
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 13: and we would be in ministry.

861
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: You can't make choices. I cannot.

862
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: And that's a word too for someone watching that. You've

863
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: raised your kids and maybe they're not worth they need

864
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: to be, and you know that, but you're taking.

865
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 2: Responsibility for it.

866
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: And the Lord is saying that you can't make choices

867
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: for your kids. Okay, the Bible says train him up

868
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: in the way they should go. When they're old, they

869
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: want to depart from it, you know, and so you

870
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: have to give them to God and then trust that

871
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: they will make the right decision. So you found out

872
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: at what point that there was addiction involved that was

873
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: hidden that you didn't know about.

874
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 13: So the Lord then literally began to speak to me

875
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 13: in prophetic dreams and I got details and so then

876
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 13: not really upset him because he literally said, I can't

877
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 13: get away with anything because God tells you everything. So

878
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 13: then I was like, there's my evidence, you know what

879
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 13: I mean, that's my confirmation.

880
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 2: I'm not just hearing these things. Was your kid? So

881
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 2: he had sexual addiction.

882
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 13: What I what I've learned is when people have an addiction,

883
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 13: it was such a shame in that then he was

884
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 13: numbing the pain, especially I mean I didn't.

885
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 2: Just find this guy on the street.

886
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 13: He had been through Bible school, he had a call

887
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 13: of God on his life. So the shame and the

888
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 13: pain then he tried to numb that and then.

889
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: He began to drink after we separated. But it was

890
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: in the dark. It was in the dark.

891
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: So you can never be healed exactly unless you shine

892
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: the lad exactly. And so when did you realize that, hey,

893
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: we're not going to be able to work this out

894
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: and you had to go through a divorce.

895
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 2: So I was nine months pregnant.

896
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 13: I pulled into Rock Church and when I pulled, and

897
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 13: the Lord said, release the old and embrace the new.

898
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 13: And when he said that, I was like, I'm going

899
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 13: to have to go through divorce. The last thing I

900
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 13: ever wanted or ever expected. My dream was to have

901
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 13: a family because I came from my parents' divorce, you know,

902
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 13: and so but you can't make a choice or decision

903
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 13: for anyone.

904
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 2: So before you even had your daughter, you knew.

905
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 13: So I was five months, I was nine months pregnant.

906
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 13: Five days before I delivered my daughter. Is when he

907
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 13: said he was leaving. So I then all of this

908
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 13: was coming out. All of it was coming out after that.

909
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: So interestingly enough, he showed up for the birth. Yes,

910
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: what happened after.

911
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 2: That, so he was there. He right after I delivered

912
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 2: my daughter.

913
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 13: Then he left and I was left at the hospital.

914
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 13: And they thought that I was a single mom. But

915
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 13: I'm like thinking, I'm not going to be a single mom.

916
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 13: I mean, that just never even crossed my mind. I'm like,

917
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 13: we're gonna get through this. You know, I have a

918
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 13: master's degree in counseling, and so I have a background,

919
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 13: and I know you can there's it doesn't have to

920
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 13: end this way.

921
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 2: There's all of this help.

922
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 8: Didn't he really want to be free from the addictions,

923
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 8: But he just struggled with the shame of all of

924
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 8: that too.

925
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 13: You Know, what I've learned is I've never met an

926
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 13: attic that really wants to be in their addiction. They

927
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 13: just don't know how to get out. And that really

928
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 13: was and the shame and the pain. And as much

929
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 13: as I offered that to him, you know, I still

930
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 13: couldn't make decisions for him.

931
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 2: Because he was a good guy. Yeah, you know, he

932
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: was a great guy. I would have never married him.

933
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you had to make the decision. Okay, you

934
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: have the baby, beautiful girl with blond ter hair and

935
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: blue eyes, yeah, Destiny Joy. Yes, and you have to

936
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: make a decision because most girls would think at that point,

937
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: at least kinder. I think I would want to go

938
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: back home and be with family and friends surround.

939
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,479
Speaker 2: But what did the Lord say to you?

940
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 13: He said, just because he got out of my will,

941
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 13: don't you And it really shook me. He said, I've

942
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 13: brought you here to Virginia Beach. Don't leave until I

943
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 13: tell you. And you know everything was set up for

944
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 13: my call. We have eleven adopted neighborhood, so many literally

945
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 13: thousands of single moms and children whose lives have been chan.

946
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: You're jumping ahead twenty years. Okay, so you make the

947
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: decision to stay there. Yes, but even while Destiny's a baby,

948
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: the Lord says, I want you to give out of

949
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: your pain. Yeah, I mean this will.

950
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: Preach, but again it's not.

951
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: But in the middle of your pain, go ahead and

952
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: minister to someone else, because you said, the Lord showed

953
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: you there are people out here that have been through

954
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,479
Speaker 1: much more than you have and suffered more.

955
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 2: Right, And what did you do? I love this, kinder

956
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 2: will love this part. What you did?

957
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 13: So I got my baby in my carrier and I

958
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 13: went over to a subsidized neighborhood.

959
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: I'd never been in that neighborhood. She carried the baby

960
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 2: and the carry and the.

961
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 13: Carrier right and then and then I realized one of

962
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 13: the days I was doing a prayer walk.

963
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: Literally, I walked in the middle of a drug deal.

964
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 13: I didn't know it, and I'm like, excuse me, guys,

965
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 13: because I'm staying.

966
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: And then I realized afterwards.

967
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 13: But anyway, so I took my baby and what little

968
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 13: food I had because it was a reality.

969
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 2: I didn't have diapers and baby food. I had to pray,

970
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: this was not a good area you were going to.

971
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 1: This was not But there were a lot of single

972
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: moms there and you were taking.

973
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 2: Food, right, like, what in the world are you doing?

974
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 13: Didn't well, that's what they said. That's what everybody said

975
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 13: to me. But listen, don't listen to everybody. You listened

976
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 13: to the Lord. Yes, And so I went around and

977
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 13: I started knocking on doors and ministering to this.

978
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 2: And what happened? Did people receive you?

979
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 13: People started getting saved like never before. And you know,

980
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 13: our first outreach. So then I came back with my

981
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 13: little boombox and my little.

982
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: Microphone, and that's when I did the drawling.

983
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 13: Everybody had to get a ticket and register and then

984
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 13: our big you know what every single mom wants is

985
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 13: a hundred dollars gift card to Walmart, Right, So I'm like, that's.

986
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 2: Going to be the big hook.

987
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 13: And they had to all come and be present at

988
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 13: the time of the drawing to win the gift card

989
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 13: if they won, So then I preached the gospel to

990
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 13: this day, these women are running after God. There was

991
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 13: a lady there by the name of Tracy that got

992
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 13: saved that day and she was pregnant with her fifth

993
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 13: child that day and did not know it. Two weeks

994
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 13: later she found out. She called me, she goes dinnett.

995
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 13: I'm pregnant and I would have had an abortion. But

996
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 13: something is telling me now that I'm a Christian that

997
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 13: that's not right. We helped her keep that baby, We

998
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 13: helped her through the pregnancy. She named it after me,

999
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 13: Danielle Faith, and she's a worship leader. Now, oh, I

1000
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 13: love that.

1001
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 6: I need to know one, whatever happened to your husband?

1002
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 6: And then two, how did you? How did you struggle

1003
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,959
Speaker 6: or I should say make it through? Mean a first

1004
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 6: time mom not knowing what they're doing and not have

1005
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 6: any support, right they did you work and have the baby?

1006
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 13: Lag So I have a master's degree in counseling clinical psychology.

1007
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: I can go and fall back on that.

1008
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 13: And the Lord said, keep doing what you're called to do.

1009
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 13: I'm like, it's not cool to be traveling.

1010
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 2: With the little baby.

1011
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 13: My husband committed suicide a few years after he left,

1012
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 13: another devastating things to go through. Death is so final.

1013
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,479
Speaker 13: It's extremely hard that rock or boat. For a number

1014
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 13: of years after that, very challenging for children for me.

1015
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 13: So I was grieving the loss of my marriage, the

1016
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 13: loss of my dream of having a family, now the

1017
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 13: loss of life of my former husband and the father

1018
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 13: to my child.

1019
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 2: Right, that's big, that's big.

1020
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 3: You said something that you said, It was the Lord

1021
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 3: revealed to you. He said, just because your husband get

1022
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,439
Speaker 3: out of my will, you don't get out of my will.

1023
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 3: And I think that's such a powerful word, especially for

1024
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 3: people who do get married and they do feel like

1025
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 3: I am tethered here and with one falls.

1026
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 2: Away, well then I should just give up.

1027
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: But what was it in that moment, Because I know

1028
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 3: you were suffering, you had to have been grieving, you

1029
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 3: had been very confused and felt very lonely and afraid.

1030
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 3: What was that moment where you were just like, Okay,

1031
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 3: I am going to stand up and I am going

1032
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 3: to whatever I have. I surrender all of this and

1033
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 3: I'm going to love people through my own pain.

1034
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 13: So really that was like at the year mark, because

1035
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 13: I had fast and prayed, I was like this size,

1036
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 13: I was this big around and because of fasting and praying,

1037
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 13: and when the Lord said, then get up out of

1038
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 13: your mess and go do what you're called to do.

1039
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 2: At the one year mark, and I.

1040
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 13: Was like I have to choose to go forward for

1041
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 13: the sake of my daughter, yeah, and for the call

1042
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 13: of God all my life. And then he showed me

1043
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 13: that all of these lives, if you don't do your call,

1044
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 13: you're going to stand before me and see all of

1045
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 13: the fruit that would have been produced.

1046
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: And I was like, that shook me.

1047
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 13: And so I had to raise my daughter and raise

1048
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 13: the ministry that I was.

1049
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 2: Called to do well.

1050
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: And she's how old now, twenty six? He's twenty six.

1051
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: I think we have pictures of her. She's lovely and amazing,

1052
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: loves God. And I tell you something she said is

1053
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: really powerful to me is you said how important it

1054
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: is that you speak life to your kids about if

1055
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,439
Speaker 1: you go through a divorce right through, about the father

1056
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: or the mother, that you don't tear each other down.

1057
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 1: Because you said, yes, he had these addictions, he wanted

1058
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: to be free, he struggled.

1059
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 2: God understands that. And it's sad the way the story is.

1060
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: Okay, he didn't really fulfill his destiny, right, that's sadly,

1061
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: But you said there were so many great things about him,

1062
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: that's why you married him. So tell me about when

1063
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: you had the conversation with her about her dad.

1064
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 2: What you said about him.

1065
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 14: I want to cry, but I told her it's true.

1066
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 14: She has all of his good qualities and all of mine.

1067
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 14: And he was hilarious. He made us all laugh. And

1068
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 14: that's the way my daughter is.

1069
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 13: She was very He was a detective, he was a

1070
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 13: senior detective. He was mister RoboCop and so he got

1071
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 13: all of the top cop awards.

1072
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 2: He's very athletic, so is she.

1073
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 13: She's like miss Robo whatever she she. She just called

1074
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 13: me yesterday, mom, I broke my speed. She's snowboarding thirty

1075
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 13: nine miles an hour down the mountains, snowboarding.

1076
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 2: I'm like destiny.

1077
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 13: Don't tell me all those details, right, But she and

1078
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 13: she loves the Lord.

1079
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 2: She's very compassionate. As a little girl, she.

1080
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,800
Speaker 13: Would go around and she would want to I'll never forget.

1081
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 13: We were we were trying to get back to the airport.

1082
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 2: And we were returning the rental car.

1083
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 13: So we're rushing filling up the gas dank and she goes, Mommy,

1084
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 13: there's a homeless man. I want to give him my

1085
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 13: five dollars. And so she has compassion and she is

1086
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 13: one up. She not one of she's our best teacher.

1087
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 13: For our summer reading camps. Our inner city kids respect

1088
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 13: her and they she gets it where they're at being father.

1089
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 2: I love that, don't you love that? Doing? Oh my goodness.

1090
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 5: You know we all have been through some things, you know,

1091
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 5: but I remember doing the hardest, one of the hardest times.

1092
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 4: You know.

1093
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 5: Normally we pray for ourselves, or we pray for others

1094
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 5: or whatever. But I remember just praying and saying, Lord,

1095
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 5: you know, in the midst of my pain, I want

1096
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 5: to glorify you, no matter what happens, I want to

1097
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 5: glorify you. And when I would start my prayers saying that,

1098
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 5: then everything else was history, because you know what you're

1099
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 5: talking about, the joy. And I remember telling my two

1100
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 5: precious boys, you know, reminding them of a song.

1101
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 2: You know, You've got the joy.

1102
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 5: Joy, joy down in your heart, down in your heart

1103
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 5: to stay, you know. And those things they seem little,

1104
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 5: but such great reminders of God's presence and his wholeness

1105
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 5: and the things that He can do when it seems hopeless.

1106
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 1: Yes, So tell us about what you're doing now, what

1107
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: doors God has opened, and this piece of property that

1108
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: God supernaturally gave you.

1109
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 13: They built this event center, They built it as an

1110
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 13: event center, but God had them build it for us

1111
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 13: as a miracle center.

1112
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 2: April was in town. She was on my show and

1113
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 2: after the.

1114
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 13: Show, I said, come on girl, we're going to go

1115
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 13: anoint this building in the land.

1116
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 2: They built it for four million. They wanted a crazy amount.

1117
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 13: I had five thousand dollars cash.

1118
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: And so I put in an offer.

1119
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 13: Right, So God told me to offer them one point

1120
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 13: five million. The first time he said it, I thought,

1121
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 13: this is just me. The second time I thought, God,

1122
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 13: I'm going to be embarrassed.

1123
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 2: The third time, I'm like, I'm just going to do it.

1124
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 13: My agent said, there's no way to know they're going

1125
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 13: to they're not even going to counteroffer.

1126
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 2: Well they did, and we got the building. Now, now

1127
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 2: this is the deal it was.

1128
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 13: They gave me third ninety days and they said I

1129
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 13: put five thousand dollars down and they're like, well, we

1130
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 13: think she doesn't have any cash, and I'm like, well

1131
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 13: she doesn't, but don't tell them, right, And so then

1132
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 13: they said I had to that give a check of

1133
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,280
Speaker 13: eighty thousand dollars.

1134
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 4: I was like, that's easy.

1135
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 2: I can write to a check for eighty thousand. I'm like,

1136
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 2: are they going to cash it, and they're like.

1137
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, and then we could have a problem. I said, well,

1138
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 13: how long do I have before they cash it? Forty

1139
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 13: eight hours. I was like, all right, we're going for it.

1140
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 13: Thirty seven and a half hours. People started coming to

1141
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 13: my office bringing cashier checks, calling in from Puerto Rico saying,

1142
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 13: God told me a year to go.

1143
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,919
Speaker 2: To give you money. Can I give you five thousand dollars?

1144
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 14: To day?

1145
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 2: We're like, yes, you can.

1146
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 13: I had to deposit, but then we went to four banks.

1147
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,439
Speaker 13: Four banks told me no, and they said, well, we're

1148
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 13: not comfortable with your cash flow. I said, I can

1149
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 13: understand that because my cash flow makes me very uncomfortable too.

1150
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 2: But when God says it's it, he breathes on it.

1151
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 2: We get it. We got it.

1152
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 13: We didn't close with the bank, and now six of

1153
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 13: our eight outreach pillars are done out of our Miracle Center.

1154
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 2: To God be the glory.

1155
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 12: And what I love is the old marks are still

1156
00:50:58,080 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 12: in the door.

1157
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, we're not watching them until we pray the oil

1158
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 13: mark would she annoyed it?

1159
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: We're watching right now, saying oil marks. Well, in the Bible,

1160
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: a lot of times people would take annoying oil which

1161
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: would be olive oil most of the time, and they

1162
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: would anoint and pray over different things in different situations.

1163
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: And the Bible talks about how that the apostle Paul

1164
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 1: they anointed his handkerchiefs and aprons and they would pray

1165
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: for people.

1166
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's what that is. People need to know

1167
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 2: what that is.

1168
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: We do it over our kids oil, Like, yeah, Rachel

1169
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: had a few on her in her dorm bottles lee

1170
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 1: and she isn't well, no, well not it. I guess

1171
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: in the house you were in. Yeah, well, you know

1172
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 1: you and Rebecca both I had little oil marks and

1173
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: stuff underneath their pillow they didn't know about in their

1174
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: car underneath their seat where you can.

1175
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

1176
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: So okay, the power of joy for women tell us

1177
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: about this devotional.

1178
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 13: So I believe that it's so important to jump start

1179
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 13: our joy every single day. And you know, it's not

1180
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 13: just some christianis saying. There's real power and joy. And

1181
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 13: what got me through was the joy of the Lord,

1182
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 13: not because of situations and circumstances, but.

1183
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 2: The joy that I found number one in my relationship

1184
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 2: with God. Because this pushed me.

1185
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,439
Speaker 13: I knew how to pray before, but let me tell

1186
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 13: you everything I went through. It taught me to pray,

1187
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 13: pray in every diaper, every jar of.

1188
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 2: Baby food, to stand in the midst.

1189
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 13: Of opposition and accusations because people were saying all of

1190
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 13: these crazy things.

1191
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 2: I had to tune it all out, stay.

1192
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 13: Focused on the Lord and tap into that joy from

1193
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,959
Speaker 13: the truth of his word about me, how he saw

1194
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 13: me and my situations, my circumstances, and my future.

1195
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,439
Speaker 1: You know, I had a great man of God say

1196
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 1: to me the other day. He said, I will never

1197
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: stand with the accuser of the brethren. Joni, I will

1198
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 1: I stand with the accused the brethren. Come on, he said,

1199
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 1: But I'll look for where the fruit is.

1200
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 2: Come on, and that's what you look at.

1201
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: And so today, you know, you have the same thing

1202
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: that Jesus had to deal with.

1203
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm reading.

1204
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 1: Through the New Testament, actually listening to it, and it's

1205
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 1: so interesting to me. No matter what he did, they

1206
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: wanted to question and accuse him of something as like,

1207
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 1: why did you heal on the Sabbath?

1208
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 2: Well, would you rather him, you know, not be healed?

1209
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, get out blind barn Mas say, look,

1210
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who he is.

1211
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 2: All I know is once I was blind, Yeah.

1212
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: And now I see you know, but you push through

1213
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: those things, and the thing that will stop your joy

1214
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: is if you get in the fray of that right

1215
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: and get bitter and have unforgiveness.

1216
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 2: Did you have to work on that exactly? Kind?

1217
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:45,879
Speaker 4: Every day?

1218
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 3: Every day, I mean every day is an opportunity to

1219
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 3: be offended or to be an overcomish meant to walk

1220
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 3: in his will.

1221
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it is a choice. Real quick.

1222
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 3: There were some things that you said that you highlight

1223
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 3: in your book where you say they're never li and

1224
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 3: these never lies can take away your joy?

1225
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 2: Right? What are they? So?

1226
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 10: You know?

1227
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 13: People were actually telling me, oh, you're never now, your

1228
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 13: ministry is over.

1229
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 2: You're never going to fulfill the call of God on

1230
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 2: your life ever never.

1231
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 13: And then I was like, you're never going to be

1232
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 13: able to keep your house, You're never going to be

1233
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 13: able to make it.

1234
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: You're never all of these never lies.

1235
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 13: You have to tune out that noise and tap into

1236
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 13: the truth.

1237
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 2: It's good.

1238
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: So what about just touch on that again for someone

1239
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: watching it's having a hard time forgive, Take just a

1240
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 1: minute and talk about how important it is to forgive.

1241
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 13: So no matter what we go through, in life, we

1242
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 13: have to forgive. And you know, you may say today, well,

1243
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 13: this is just not fair. It's not about what's fair

1244
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 13: and not what's fair, it's about your choice to release

1245
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 13: and forgive. The Bible says, if we don't forgive, God

1246
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,280
Speaker 13: cannot forgive us. One of the real keys to forgiving

1247
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 13: is begin to pray for that person, that person that

1248
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 13: hurts you, that person left you, that person that falsely

1249
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 13: accused you. And you may say, well, you know, I

1250
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 13: don't really feel those things.

1251
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you. You pray for.

1252
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 13: That person what you would want someone to.

1253
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 2: Honestly pray for you.

1254
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,000
