1 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Pastor Paula, congratulations on forty years of ministry. I wish 2 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: I could be in person for over forty years. God 3 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: has been using you so greatly across this globe. It's incredible. 4 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: God bless you all. Congratulations Pastor Paula. 5 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: God's word is your answer. I have a word for 6 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: you today. You're going to find that word in Second 7 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: Kings chapter eight, but it comes from a story. In 8 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: Second Kings chapter four. There's a woman who they call 9 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: a Shunamite woman. It says she is great, but when 10 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: you look at it, when it calls her great, she 11 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 2: hasn't done anything significant. And there's this prophet Elijah that 12 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: is passing her by continually, and she says to her husband, 13 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: I perceive that this is a holy Man of God. 14 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: Now that perception recognition is what ignited what would become 15 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: a divine connection, and that divine connection would lead to 16 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: the restoration and all, why why does this happen? Well, 17 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: there's five things I'm going to give you today. But 18 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: if you read Second King's chapter four, the man of 19 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 2: God was passing by, and basically I can hear her 20 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 2: saying to herself, why am I going to let this anointing, 21 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: and keep passing me by. I'm going to house it. 22 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 2: She constrained the man of God. It's a very strong word. 23 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: And she builds this table, this stool, this light, this chamber, 24 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: and she houses him. She feeds him. She's good to 25 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: him that every time he's going to pass by, he's 26 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 2: going to stay there. That's important because her sacrifice and 27 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: her obedience to God created a covenant with this man 28 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: of God, and that covenant would bring forth a promise. 29 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: When he goes back and he sends a servant to 30 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: Haesei and says, hey, ask her what she wants, and says, 31 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 2: what do you want? I have everything, I'm with my people, 32 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: I'm in my country. I've got this home where you 33 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 2: don't have a child. Don't play with me, lord, I mean, 34 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: it hit that trigger. It was the one thing. I 35 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: don't know if she had a physical element like endometriosis 36 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 2: or barrenness or what had taken place, but here she 37 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: was without a child, and a man of God says, 38 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 2: go back and tell her that within a year, by 39 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: this time next year, she'll bring forth a son. Nay, Lord, 40 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: don't play with me. And what happens she brings forth 41 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: a son, and can you imagine for years her life 42 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: is just filled with joy. Yes, there's a famine, there's 43 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: things going on, but she has her child, she has 44 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: a great husband, she has her home. And then her 45 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: son dies out in the field working with the father, 46 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 2: and he drops over dead. It would be an aneurysm. 47 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: She takes a child, puts in the chamber, says, get 48 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 2: me the horse, get me the chariots. I need to 49 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 2: go to the man of God, the one who prophesied, 50 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: the one who brought this promise to pass. 51 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: She goes. 52 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 2: Haesi comes back, tries to pray over him, tries to 53 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: breathe life into him, goes back to Elisha, the prophet, 54 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: the man of God. He comes and he lays on 55 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: the child, and he breathes in his mouth and lays 56 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: on his body. It's basically mirroring it. And the child 57 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: sneezes seven times and life comes back to him. Can 58 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: you imagine how good it is, the goodness of God. 59 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: Her promise look dead, but life is brought back to it. 60 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: And then let's go over to chapter eight. Remember ga 61 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: Hayesi's the servant. Gay Hayese's gonna get leprosy. He's going 62 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: to be healed of leprosy because of obedience to not 63 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: take the goods of the Syrians. That's a whole nother teaching. 64 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: And he's standing before the king because a person with 65 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: leprosy can't stand before the king. He's standing before the king. 66 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: And let's look at verse four through six. The king 67 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: talked with Gehese, the servant of the Man of God, saying, hey, 68 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 2: tell me, I pray all the great things that Elijah's done. 69 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: And it came to pass as he was telling the 70 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 2: king how he restored a dead body to life. He's 71 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: talking about the boy, and he restored this dead body 72 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: to life. That behold, the woman whose son he had 73 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: restored to life, cried to the king for her house 74 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 2: and for land. So remember it was a severe famine 75 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: in the land. And Gehese said, my lord, O King, 76 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: this is the woman. This is her son whom Elijah 77 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: restored to life. And when the king asked the woman, 78 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: she told him. 79 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: So. 80 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: The king appointed in to her a certain officer, saying, restore. Now, 81 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 2: that's where I want you to camp out. Restore all. 82 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: That's the word of the Lord for you. Restore all. 83 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 2: God is going to restore all that was hers and 84 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: all the fruits of the field since the day that 85 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: she left the land, even until now, I want to 86 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: tell you how this restoration took place. Relationships are the 87 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: currency of the kingdom and the network of life. You 88 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 2: can go back and look at last week's teaching to 89 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: really build it up to this point, but it is 90 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: imperative and necessary for you to be spiritually connected to 91 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 2: the right people. Remember, when God goes to bless you, 92 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 2: he sends a person in your life. When the enemy 93 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: goes to mess you up, he sends a person in 94 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 2: your life. And these spiritually right people are covenant connections. 95 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: They're ordained by God. They are the connections that God 96 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: has chosen, that God is ordained to release his glory 97 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: to fulfill his plan and purpose individually and corporately. God 98 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: has a prepared place, and God has a prepared people, 99 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: and you'll not enter into the provision of his promises. 100 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: And the Bible says, she's a great woman, the greatness 101 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: of God for your life. When you're disconnected from those 102 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: that God's ordained for your destiny, when God goes to 103 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: bless you, what does he do? The man of God 104 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 2: continually passing by her Therefore, if I'm going to fulfill 105 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: all that God has for me, I have to have 106 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: the ability to identify or recognize my deliver the man 107 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: the woman that God has for my life. You see, 108 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 2: life is governed by laws, and they always work for 109 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 2: you or against you. And the law of recognition teaches 110 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: everything that you need in your life is already there, 111 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: It just needs to be recognized. Jesus said to his disciples, 112 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 2: you have eyes, but you don't see ears. But you 113 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: don't hear, and you don't remember Mark chapter eight, verse eighteen. 114 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 2: In other words, what you don't recognize, and I want 115 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: to break down that word for you, you won't celebrate. 116 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: And what you don't celebrate will eventually leave your life. 117 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: Now stop right here. Recognize. The Bible says that we 118 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: hold eternity in our heart. So you've already met that person. 119 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: You've already been ordained to work with that person. You've 120 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: already been ordained to pray over that person, serve that person, 121 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 2: give to their ministry, build a chamber table. These things 122 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: aren't random. God puts eternity in our heart because he 123 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: has relationships. And again you're cognizant of it. Can you 124 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: recognize your divine connection. Second King, chapter four, verse nine. 125 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: She said to her husband the whole Now I perceive 126 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: this is a holy Man of God which passes advice. 127 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 2: Continually perceived means to ascertain by seeing. It's the same 128 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: as Luke chapter thirteen with the woman that has been 129 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: over for eighteen years. And it says when Jesus saw her. 130 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: When she saw Jesus doesn't mean she was looking from 131 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: the outside. It means when eternity came into connection with eternity. See, 132 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 2: your spirit has a knowledge of things that your mind 133 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: is struggling to perceive or conceive, or hold or have 134 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 2: revelation of people who recognize opportunities to connect to their deliverance, 135 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 2: Ruth recognized Naomi. Now Naomi would call herself Mara mis bitter. 136 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: And remember there were two sisters, Ruth and Urba. And 137 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: Naomi turns around. Miss Marr turns around and says, hey, 138 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 2: go back to your people, go back to your land. 139 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: I don't have any sons, I don't have any future. 140 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 2: And Orpa says, you're right, there's nothing with you. Ruth 141 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 2: goes wherever you go. I'm going. Your people will become 142 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: my people, Your God will be my God, that's crazy 143 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: kind of talk. I mean, they would trend her on Twitter, 144 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 2: they would take her on x and put her all 145 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: over the social media and Instagram and say, can you 146 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: believe what Paula White? I mean what Ruth said. You see, 147 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 2: because when you get spiritual and you recognize your deliver 148 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 2: it's not with natural eyes, it's by a spiritual eye. 149 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: Jonathan recognized David. That's insanity. Jonathan is Saul's natural born 150 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 2: heir Sun and all the kingdom should be inherited by him. 151 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: But Jonathan strips off his royalty and serves David because 152 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: he recognized David is the one that's anointed. John the 153 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 2: Baptist recognized Jesus. He's baptizing thousands of people. Jesus is 154 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: a carpenter. He's not recognized as the son of God. 155 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: He hasn't ascended, he hasn't gone up on the third Day. 156 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 2: He hasn't even been crucified. He hasn't even done a 157 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: miracle yet. And John the Baptist says, I'm not even 158 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 2: worthy to untie your shoes, and Jesus says, baptized me. 159 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: The Israelites recognize Moses. They've been in slavery for four 160 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: hundred years. If they didn't recognize Moses as a deliverer, 161 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: they would have been in slavery for eight hundred years. 162 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 2: People who didn't recognize Joseph's brothers could not recognize him. 163 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 2: They sell them into slavery. God uses what the enemy 164 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: meant for bad Romans eight twenty eight Genesis fifty twenty. 165 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 2: They meant it for my evil, but God allowed it 166 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: for my good. So watch this. Joseph's brothers don't recognize him. 167 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: David's brothers, Jonathan saw son, David's the anointing one, but 168 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 2: his own brothers. After he's anointed, after oil has been 169 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: poured on his head, after the prophet came in said 170 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 2: you're the one, and that oil would not go on 171 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: anyone else's head, he takes a little dinner down to 172 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: as a lunch down as brothers because they're finding this goliath, 173 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: this giant. His dad says, go give your brothers this lunch, 174 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: and his brother said, what are you doing down here? 175 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: I know the naughtiness of your heart. They can't see now. 176 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: If it was a natural thing, they would be able 177 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: to see. David's a master slinger. But it's not done 178 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 2: with natural eyes it's somewhat spiritualize. So right now, I 179 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: prayed that you can recognize your divine deliver I prayed 180 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: that every veil will be removed over your eyes, that 181 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 2: you will have this spirit of discernment, that you would 182 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: have the spirit of revelation and understanding, that you would 183 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 2: know God and you would know your divine connection. Thinking. 184 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 2: Chapter four, verse nine says, this man passes by, and 185 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: it means to transition or crossover, because when someone is transitioning. 186 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 2: Watch I'm saying something so deep. When someone is transitioning, 187 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: when someone is moving, they have the ability to take 188 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 2: you to a place that you've never been before. That's important. 189 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: Pass It by means transitioning. Some of you are stuck, 190 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: and until you recognize your divine deliverance, you won't get 191 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: out of that place called stuck. You just think that's 192 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 2: another person. We're all just another person. But God uses frail, 193 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: weak things humans vessels to do his work, and they 194 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: pass by continually. It means to stretch by extension, So 195 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 2: he's always transitioning and he's always stretching. That's important because 196 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: divine connections will transition you from poverty to the promises 197 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 2: of God, from depression to the joy of the Lord, 198 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: from lack, whether that is spiritual or relationship, from barrenness 199 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: to having a child, having a son. You see, the 200 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 2: problem is we have contact with people, but we don't 201 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: have connection. We see Him, but we're not connected. See, 202 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 2: once you get connected, that's where you start to establish covenant. 203 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 2: Because as long as you have contact, only you observe 204 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 2: or you receive a significant signal from a person, but 205 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: that's it. A connection means you're joined, You're established in relationship, 206 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: and that's what leads to covenant because you can't succeed alone. 207 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: Relationship is a privilege, the golden link to every uncommon 208 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 2: miracle for you to experience the life that God has 209 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 2: for you, the promises and in this case, restoration of all. 210 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 2: So there's just a few key facts that I want 211 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 2: to give you how you recognize a divine connection. Number one, 212 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 2: any person God uses to link you to desired change. 213 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: I want to get out of this what is it? Barrenness, poverty, depression, sickness. 214 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: I want to know Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. 215 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: This is how I want to change the nation, community, neighborhood. 216 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: You see, God shows you this is your length because 217 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: it is connected to the change you desire. Number two, 218 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 2: You cannot succeed without a divine connection. When God goes 219 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 2: to bless you, say it over and over with me. 220 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 2: He sends a person in your life. When the enemy 221 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 2: goes to mess you up, he sends a person in 222 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: your life. Number three, It will usually require your pursuit 223 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: of them. Ruth pursued, Naomi, wherever you go, I'm going. 224 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 2: The Israelites followed Moses. Nathan did whatever David wanted him 225 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: to do. Go up between that tunnel, go ahead of me. 226 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 2: Said there was this pursuit. In other words, when your 227 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 2: deliverance or your divine connection comes, it's like Elisha, or 228 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: it's like Elijah throwing the mantle and Elisha, and he 229 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: tells him go anoint these three people. He only goes 230 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: down to Elisha, who will do double the portion of miracles, 231 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 2: throws his mantle on him, and then he says, hey, 232 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 2: can I go take care of my business? Can I 233 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 2: go back to my house, tell my parents and can 234 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: folk and everybody goodbye, and take care of the oxen 235 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 2: that I'm sitting here searting for my dad, and shut 236 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 2: down the business. And Elijah goes, what do I have 237 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: to do for you? And keeps going. Elijah goes and 238 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: burns the oxen. He shuts that door so tight that 239 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: he can never go back, and he chases and catches 240 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: up with Elijah. This man right here that's doing this 241 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: miracle has that kind of pursuit for his divine deliver 242 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: Do you see how this works? So the people around 243 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: you might try to attempt to stop your relationship with 244 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: that divine connection. When the blind man cried out to Jesus, 245 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: those around him tried to silence him. Hey, Jesus, that 246 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 2: son of God, mercy on me. You don't need to 247 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: be loud like that. Number five. It's your responsibility to recognize, 248 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: to see again, to be cognizant, and to honor your 249 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: divine connection, not vice versa. Every single person has a 250 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 2: divine connection, everyone, even Jesus. I don't do anything except 251 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 2: for the Father show me and reveal it to me. 252 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 2: We can continue to go through these, but I want 253 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 2: to get you outside of recognizing. To point number two. 254 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 2: She resolved to do something to move from contact to connection. 255 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 2: Second King, Chapter four eight. She constrained him, I love 256 00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 2: the Hebrew word. Here sees fasten upon cleave, not letting 257 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 2: you go. No, she seized him. That's a strong word. 258 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 2: Verse ten says, let us make a little chamber. I 259 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: pray thee on the wall. Let us set for him 260 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 2: a bed, a table, a stool, a candlestick, and whenever 261 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 2: he comes, he'll turn in. She connected by sewing what 262 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 2: she sewed. She created an atmosphere to house the anointing. 263 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 2: At first she just fed him, but then she puts 264 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 2: in a room, a bed which means rest, a table 265 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: for refreshing, a stool for reflection, and a candle for revelation. 266 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: You see, what I want you to understand is her resolution, 267 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 2: just like Jonathan's to David, or the Armor Bearer to 268 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: Jonathan's resolution, to connect position them to receive. When you 269 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: know that God is in your life, yes, you have 270 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 2: to recognize and then you have to resolve. This is 271 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 2: the woman of God, this is the Man of God. 272 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 2: This is what I'm to do, This is who I'm 273 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 2: to be connected to. These are the people I'm called to. 274 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 2: Because wishy washy people or what the Bible calls double 275 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 2: minded don't receive anything. You've got to be resolute, and 276 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 2: that's the place of receiving. Because now she is resolute, 277 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 2: she sews into him, and now she starts to receive. 278 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 2: Why she now has access, She now has acceptance, which 279 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: is favor. She now has impartation. Second King, Chapter four, 280 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: Verse thirteen. He said, say now and to her, behold 281 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 2: that has been careful with us for all this care 282 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 2: What do you want done for you? So that's what happened. 283 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 2: She answered, I dwell with my own people, etc. But 284 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 2: she creates her own opportunity, and he says, yeah, but 285 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,239 Speaker 2: you don't have a child. How does she create her 286 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: own opportunity because the access is what she invested. She 287 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: didn't say, oh, here, here's a million dollars. You can't 288 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: buy miracles. You can't buy access. You can't buy this. 289 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,239 Speaker 2: You've got to discern it. You got to recognize it. 290 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 2: You got to be resolute, and this is where you receive. 291 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: You invest in it, prayer, servanthood, honor, sewing, giving. She 292 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 2: activated the ingredients in what was passing by making a 293 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 2: deposit in it. You only get dividends from investment. If 294 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 2: you stay on your knees before the Lord. You have 295 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: a right to withdraw because you've made a deposit spiritually. 296 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 2: Verse thirteen what's to be done for thee. Now watch, 297 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 2: this is where she returned to it. Second, this is 298 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: point number four. After she received she returns Second Kings, 299 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 2: Chapter four, verse eighteen through twenty one. The child grows up, 300 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 2: but all is on a day the father goes the reapers, 301 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 2: and he said, my head, my head. He died. He 302 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 2: had any aneurism. But when the promise died, she laid 303 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 2: it on her own seed verse twenty three. Her confidence 304 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: all is well. Verse twenty four through thirty two. You 305 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 2: see the connection and action. That's where the Man of 306 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: God comes and lays on it. And though her promise, 307 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 2: her provision, looks dead, she has a right for resurrection life. 308 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 2: She has a right to boldly say, Man of God come, 309 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 2: and she puts on her promise, the promise of God. God, 310 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: you gave this to me. You have to restore it. 311 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: And look what happens. Her son comes back to life. 312 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 2: And you think that'd be the end of the story. 313 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 2: But that's not the end. And this is where I 314 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 2: wanted to get you to restoration, because God is going 315 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 2: to restore you and not just raise your promise. And 316 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 2: at the very end there in that verse five and six, 317 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: the king asked the woman, and she said yes, And 318 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 2: he said, told the officer restore everything, all our land, 319 00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 2: all fields, everything. Because once she recognized, once she received, 320 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 2: once she resolved, once she returned, then she was ready 321 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: for restoration, and not just from her dead's son, but 322 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 2: everything in her life. And this is what I want 323 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 2: you to understand. That God used her obedience to unlock 324 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: a promise that had been shut up. She had a son, 325 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 2: and when that promise came under attack and died in 326 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: her arms, she did what many would fail to do. 327 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,479 Speaker 2: She returned to the altar of her investment. She laid 328 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 2: the boy on the very bed that she had prepared. 329 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 2: She didn't panic. She prophesied all as well, And I 330 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 2: declare over you today, no matter what has died in 331 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 2: your life, no matter what looks lost, all is well, 332 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 2: no matter how bad it is, no matter how much 333 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 2: they're shaking their fits at God and saying you're crazy 334 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 2: for this, give up, don't keep following that ministry, all 335 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 2: is well. You see, she had an investment in a 336 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 2: divine connection. It wasn't done overnight. This was a covenant. 337 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: And when we get to that place out of contact, 338 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 2: I just want to touch from you here, throw ah 339 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 2: me and we make covenant. I'm gonna pray for you. 340 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pray for you to go to the globe. 341 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pray for God to use your annoying thing 342 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 2: and your mouth. And when I pray for you, I 343 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 2: am a partaker as if it was me myself doing it. 344 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 2: It was Elijah's servant Gahezon, who served as the bridge 345 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 2: between her and the prophet, and geheyes, I was sent 346 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 2: with Elijah's staff to lay it on the boy and 347 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 2: he didn't respond. Why because that dead promise could not 348 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 2: have a casual contact. It only responded to covenant. Who 349 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 2: is she in covenant with Elishah? And Elisha comes back, 350 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: brings the boy back to life, resurrects him. And what 351 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 2: happens the divine restoration. The king says, restore all. Her 352 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 2: son's been restored, her family's been restored. But God is 353 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 2: not just giving her back what is lost. He's given 354 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 2: interest on what the enemy tried to seal. This is 355 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 2: not just restoration, it's divine restoration. And I believe every 356 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 2: siede you've sown in tears will reap a harvest and 357 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: joy that every prayer you've prayed in the dark will 358 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 2: be answered in the light, that every act of faith 359 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 2: you've made in secret will be rewarded openly. God has 360 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: not forgotten you, You've not been forsaken. God has heard your cry. 361 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: The King's crying out, and he's commanding restore all that 362 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 2: was hers, restore all that was his. And I'm believing 363 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 2: this is your moment of divine alignment. As you stay 364 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 2: connected to this ministry, you're connected to divine assignment, a 365 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 2: wellspring of revelation, restoration, release. I'm praying fervently over you, 366 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 2: and I know this is the word of the Lord, 367 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 2: a signpost from Heaven declaring your season is shifted. You're transitioning, 368 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: you're crossing over. So now it's the time for you 369 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 2: to recognize the divine connection. Prepare room for God's presence 370 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 2: in your life. Don't faith, lay your broken promise on 371 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 2: the altar, expect resurrection, walk boldly in restoration. Give God 372 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: the glory because your connection to this ministry is not casual, 373 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: it is convenential. And I believe that as you stand 374 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 2: with us, God's promises are bringing you into new season, 375 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 2: a full restoration of all in Jesus' name. 376 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 3: God has a word for you. It shall be well. 377 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 3: This is not just a comfort phrase, it is a 378 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 3: prophetic decree for your life. Just like the Shunamite woman 379 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 3: in Second Kings chapters four and eight, Restoration promise and 380 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 3: the purposes of God are for you too. The woman recognized, resolved, 381 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,239 Speaker 3: received returned, and all was restored. You were in a 382 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 3: divine moment and you will recover all. This is your 383 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 3: moment of divine alignment. And as you stay connected to 384 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 3: this ministry, you were connected to a divine assignment. 385 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 2: I'm believing that as you stay connected to this ministry, 386 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 2: you're connected to divine assignment. And I'm asking you to 387 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 2: respond in faith. 388 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 3: Call the toll free number right the po boxer, go 389 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 3: online right now and recognize your divine connection with this ministry. 390 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 3: Resolved to move from contact to connection and sow a 391 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 3: seed for Second Kings eight six. Maybe the Holy Spirit 392 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 3: is putting it upon your heart to sow a two 393 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty six dollars seed or an eighty six 394 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 3: dollars seed. Seek God, but do not delay. We will 395 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 3: believe together that you will receive return and all will 396 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 3: be restored and your support of PWM helps make it 397 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 3: impact every single day, transforming lives, healing hearts, and winning 398 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 3: souls around the world. Call the number and prepare with 399 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 3: expectancy for God to move like those Shunamite woman did. 400 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: Perhaps the greatest restoration you need is salvation in your life. 401 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 2: See God started with the relationship with man, but man 402 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 2: failed when they disobeyed God. And because of the first atom, 403 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 2: all of us are born into sin. We miss the mark, 404 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 2: we fall short of the character, we don't keep the 405 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 2: law the word of God. But God didn't want to 406 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: leave us in this state. According to John through sixteen 407 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 2: and seventeen, God so loved the world that he gave 408 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: his only begonde son. He did not come to the 409 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: world to condemn it, but to bring life through it. 410 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 2: So his son Jesus Christ walked this earth thirty three 411 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 2: and a half years, was crucified on an old rugged cross, 412 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 2: buried in a borrowed tomb. He defeated death, hell, and 413 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: the grave, and he rose again on that third day. 414 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: Why because he is resurrection life, And when you receive 415 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 2: him as Lord and Savior, he loves you so much. 416 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 2: He has a life for you that you can never 417 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 2: give yourself, and when you receive that, he declares to you, 418 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 2: I came to give you life and life more abundantly. 419 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 2: If you died right now, are you ready for heaven? 420 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 2: Hell is a very real place, a place that none 421 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 2: of us want to ever be separated from God. Are 422 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 2: you tired of the hell you're living in here on earth? 423 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 2: Abundant life is a very real place. It's a place 424 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: in Christ and you can have it right now. Pray 425 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 2: this prayer with me, Say, Father God, I come to 426 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: you in the name of Jesus, forgive me for all 427 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 2: my sin. I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and 428 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: my savior. If you prayed that prayer, welcome to the 429 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 2: family of God.
