(176) “Do You Want to Know God Like Moses Did?” with Sheryl Simpers

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,640
Jesus told me, he said, when I was baptized, I wasn't just baptized in water by John the Baptist.

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:12,320
He said, I wasn't just baptized with fire, I was baptized with my identity when my Father,

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,440
Father God said, you are my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. And when he told that to me,

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:29,920
He spoke it over me and I was baptized in my true identity as His beloved.

5
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:41,200
God promises in Joel 2:28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global Outpouring.

6
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,600
We contend for that promised outpouring. We equip for that outpouring so that we may engage in that

7
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,760
very outpouring. I'm Philip Buss and I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to the podcast today. We're so delighted

8
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,160
that you're with us and we're delighted to have with us a special guest, a dear friend of ours,

9
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,560
Sheryl Simpers. And if you've been listening to us for very long, you've heard some of her

10
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:10,160
testimonies before, but today we're going to talk about how she had such a desire to know God

11
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:17,360
and to know him in his glory and to know him like Moses did and how to start and continue in your

12
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:28,480
walk with God. Thanks for joining us today. We're so glad that you're with us and we know that it's

13
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:36,240
going to be a very edifying podcast. This is going to help you to get into a deeper place in God

14
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,720

21
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,120
Cheryl, thank you so much for joining us today. What a pleasure it is. We always have a good

22
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:28,320
time together wherever we are together. We go to church together and we do lots of things together

23
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:34,240
and you come to events here. And we haven't yet gone, have we gone to the mission field together?

24
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,480
Twice with you. Okay. All right. But you've been going to the mission field a lot, lots of different

25
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:48,720
nations. I'm getting ready to go on my 19th and it's to Bosnia. Wonderful. Wonderful. So you've

26
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,920
shared with us before and we will put a link in our show notes about your testimonies of how you

27
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:02,320
came to know the Lord and what things you went through and how you were raised in a home of a

28
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:07,840
Bible teacher and you learned all this stuff in your head, but it hadn't gotten to your heart yet.

29
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,440
That's right.

30
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:18,400
So just give us a really brief version of how you got to that place where you said,

31
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,400
all right, God, I'm going to date you for a year.

32
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:31,920
Yeah. I had just come out of a divorce after a marriage of 25 years and it was devastating

33
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:38,560
and there was sin on both sides, but I was so broken after that marriage ended that

34
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:45,040
I came to repentance first and then I just cried out to the Lord. And then I said, okay,

35
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:51,280
here's the deal, Lord, I want to know you. I want to know you not in my head, but in my heart.

36
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,320
I want to know you like Moses and I want to see you like Moses wanted to see you. And God took me

37
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:04,720
to right then, because right then I had two open visions of the Lord. And from that point on,

38
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,760
and I went to work the next day, lost my job and I told him, I'm going to date you for a year

39
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,400
to get to know you. And I got to spend a whole year with the Lord after I lost my job,

40
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,040
right after the day after I had prayed that prayer. And so God really-

41
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:21,840
He took you seriously.

42
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:29,200
Yeah, he took it seriously. And the first thing he did with me was he said, turn off all noise,

43
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:35,680
all distractions, not even worship music. He said, I just want you to just sit in my presence.

44
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,760
And it really literally, it took three weeks before I thought I wasn't going to go crazy from

45
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:50,240
the quiet because to me, it was like I had a ringing in my ears and I didn't know how to sit

46
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:59,280
still for hours, three weeks in order for me to hear the voice of the Lord. But after that three

47
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:07,840
weeks, I was able to sit there with peace. And the Lord started to take me on a journey in

48
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:16,160
his presence where I lost track of time. I mean, it would be like 10 minutes. I thought it would

49
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:24,000
only been 10 minutes and I looked at the clock and 12 hours had passed. He was doing a cleanup job.

50
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,920
He was exposing lies of the enemy that came in. He took me into my childhood and showed me where

51
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:38,560
I'd taken lies of the enemy, which really formed my life because the one that he really highlighted

52
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,800
was when I was about six years old, I would make love cards to my parents on just construction

53
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,880
paper and then I'd like tape my five cent allowance onto it and shove it under their

54
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:56,720
bedroom door and just wait for them to come out and come out of the door and then take me in their

55
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:02,240
arms and tell me how much I was loved and speak words of affirmation. And when they would come out,

56
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,840
they'd smile with that note in their hand, but they never told me they loved me or took me in

57
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:15,520
their arms. And my heart craved that and I didn't realize until I read the book, The Five Love

58
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:22,640
Languages that that was a very special love language to me. So God showed me how I took a lie

59
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:28,160
from that point that said that I was not loved, would never be loved and was not lovely.

60
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:37,600
And all my life then I was looking for whether that lie was truth or was it a lie. So it caused

61
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:46,960
me to try to identify with that lie and not with the truth of God that I was his beloved and would

62
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:56,160
always be his beloved and I would always be loved and I would be lovely to him. So it was very

63
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:02,320
powerful to get that understanding just sitting there in the presence of God in that year that I

64
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:10,480
dated him. And to get that depth of knowledge of his love for me and for others was life changing.

65
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:21,680
It was life empowering. And he also in that whole year of giving me my true identity as his beloved,

66
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:31,040
he was showing me how many people have taken that same lie and how it causes people to make choices

67
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:39,280
because every one of us want to be loved and every one of us is loved. So that place in us

68
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:46,000
that's empty, that's wanting affirmed, it's going to the Lord to have him fill that place and to

69
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,360
speak that into us. And Jesus told me, he said, when I was baptized, I wasn't just baptized

70
00:07:53,360 --> 00:08:00,800
in water by John the Baptist. He said, I wasn't just baptized with fire, I was baptized with fire

71
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:07,600
and I was baptized with my identity when my father, father God said, you are my beloved son

72
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:15,600
in whom I am well pleased. And when he told that to me, he spoke it over me and I was baptized in

73
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:22,400
my true identity as his beloved. Beautiful. Beautiful. Yes. Beautiful. You know, that reminds

74
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,720
me of Psalm 27 10 that says, when my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up.

75
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:35,040
It's life changing. Yeah. Yeah. And parents as good as they can be, as good as they might be,

76
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:44,560
or as bad as they might be, we're still human and we're not, most of us are not successful in really

77
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:51,680
showing the fullness of the love of God. Yes. You know, you might, maybe you felt loved,

78
00:08:51,680 --> 00:09:02,560
maybe you didn't, but your heavenly father loves you more than you can imagine. Yes. And he's

79
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:10,960
looking for every possible way to get the word to you that you are loved by him and that you have,

80
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:18,080
you have a place in him that only you can fill. He's the father of all of us, but he would do for

81
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:24,640
you exactly the same as he would do for anybody else and just make every kind of provision that

82
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,840
you need. So, speaking of provision, during that year, God made provision for you, didn't he? He

83
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:38,400
did. He made provision for me and I'll have to say that when we turn to the Lord with our whole

84
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:44,000
heart, when we're seeking him, it says, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,

85
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:51,520
and all these things will be added unto you. And I had firsthand experience of him doing that,

86
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:59,840
not just then, but when in March 2016, my second husband was killed by a drunk driver and he

87
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:05,840
didn't have a will. And then God was calling me back onto the mission field and I hadn't been

88
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:12,480
since 2007 and he's calling me, but I was stripped of everything, house, land, bank, account, and my

89
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:18,560
husband in one day. But I was learning and when he called me to the mission field, I was like,

90
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:27,280
I commit to go, you make the way. And he's made the way every single time. Not just on the monies

91
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:33,360
to go to the mission field, but my expenses. I'll never forget the time that it was a Thursday and

92
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:39,840
I had two bills that added up to a thousand dollars due the next day. And I said, Lord,

93
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:45,200
I said, I believe you're going to have somebody give me a check for a thousand dollars.

94
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,080
And so, I went to check the mailbox that afternoon and there was nothing in there.

95
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:58,000
There was no check for a thousand dollars, but I kept standing and pretty soon I heard a knock

96
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,760
in the late afternoon on my door and there is the woman that watches my cats when I go on the

97
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,560
mission field. What a wonderful woman of God. And she said, I just want to tell you, I don't take

98
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:15,120
my checkbook anywhere. She said, but God told me to bring it with me. She tore a check out of it.

99
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:20,960
She folded it, put it on the coffee table. We talked and prayed for a couple of hours. She left.

100
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,760
I opened that check. It was a check for a thousand dollars.

101
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,880
Glory to God.

102
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:25,600
Thank you, Jesus.

103
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,800
He's so faithful.

104
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:35,120
Yes. I've seen God do extraordinary things to take care of me. You know, I'm doing what he has

105
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:45,360
called me to do and going to the nations is expensive as you know, but it's vital. It's my

106
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:52,640
call. And some people, like my first mission trip to Africa, I would have people say, well,

107
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,880
you know, there's lots of things to do here in America. I said, well, I'm already doing

108
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:02,000
prison ministry, homeless ministry, two days a week in prayer ministry. And I just say,

109
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:11,120
what are you doing? And they stopped asking the question. I said, I'm called to this. Every one

110
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:17,680
of us is called to something. And it's in that time of when I was dating the Lord actually,

111
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:23,360
that the Lord started to speak to me about my destiny to go to the nations. And when I was

112
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:30,640
reading Jeremiah 1.5, when it talks about, I knew you before I put you in the womb and I called you

113
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:36,800
as a prophet to the nations, I was reading that and the Lord said, this is what I've called you

114
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:47,760
to. And he took that time, not just to clean me up, to bring revelation I needed, things that,

115
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:54,800
you know, like I said, exposing lies of the enemy, but also to take me into such a relationship with

116
00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:01,040
him and also in the word so strong. Cause in the beginning when I used to read the word every day,

117
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,720
but I didn't enjoy it. I didn't, you know, I didn't understand a lot of it. It was a chore to read

118
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:15,440
it, but if I stopped reading it, I felt it in my spirit being that I was missing it. And so it's

119
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:22,080
when I got baptized in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues that I was given such a hunger. I

120
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:28,080
already was getting a hunger so strong for him in that dating him for a year that I knew something

121
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:34,160
was missing, but I didn't know what it was. I went into a Christian bookstore and there was a book

122
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,280
there called Drawing Near. And I hadn't planned on buying that book, but it was like in the spirit,

123
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:46,800
it grew like two feet tall. And I was like, wow. So I took it off the shelf and I read the back,

124
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,560
it was Drawing Near by John Bevere. And when I read the back, I said, oh my goodness, this is

125
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:55,760
exactly what I've been asking the Lord about is about the baptism of the Holy Spirit in speaking

126
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:01,840
in tongues. And I already knew I had the Holy Spirit was with me, but I didn't have the filling

127
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:08,960
of the Holy Spirit with the speaking in tongues yet. And so when I read it, I knew this is what

128
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:17,600
was missing. And so I said, okay, Lord, I was taught against this. And I said, yes, you know,

129
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:24,800
it might be from the enemy I would be told. But it says in God's word, if you ask for that blessing,

130
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:31,520
he's not gonna give you something that's from the enemy. It's a gift from God. It's a beautiful gift

131
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:39,120
from God because it opened my eyes of understanding. And I started then, he was taking me into a place

132
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:48,000
of learning how to pray. And there's different ways to pray. When I was dating him, I said, okay,

133
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,120
I'm tired of the enemy stealing, killing, and destroying. I wanna be on the front line of

134
00:14:53,120 --> 00:15:00,160
battle. And then it was like all these attacks started coming out. So what is up, Lord? And he

135
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:07,120
said, if you wanna be on the front line of battle, I'm gonna teach you how to stand and how to fight

136
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:15,200
the enemy. And so he taught me a lot in that year's time. And ever since that time, it's a

137
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:23,280
growth process. And you go deeper and you go higher in the things of God when he's always teaching,

138
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:29,760
he's always imparting if you will seek him. It is such a blessing when I spend time with him,

139
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:36,960
when he starts bringing revelation or in his word. And a lot of times I weep my way through the word

140
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:44,560
because I am getting his heart when I'm reading the word. So when it's where his children are

141
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,120
concerned and they're being rebellious and stiff-necked and they're not listening to what... And

142
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:56,080
he's sending messengers, he's sending prophets out of his love for them, not to bring condemnation,

143
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:01,440
but to turn them back to him because that's where we were created to be.

144
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,000
Yes.

145
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:09,600
In a deep relationship with him. And man always turns aside when the man turns away from the Lord

146
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:16,720
and turns away from what he says, then it opens the door to the enemy. So the Lord's always working

147
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:24,720
to draw us back to him. And he's got his arms wide open for us to come into his presence.

148
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,320
Very true.

149
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:33,120
And I remember one of the visions he gave me in that beginning part when I'm dating him was,

150
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:39,760
I saw myself as a young, very young girl. I was so messed up. And I know I've shared this before,

151
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:48,080
but I was so messed up. In the vision, my hair was a ratted mess. My feet were muddy, filthy.

152
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:54,080
My hands were filthy. And I saw the throne room of Father God, I saw the door to it. And in this

153
00:16:54,080 --> 00:17:00,800
vision, I whip that door open and I go running into that throne room of his and I see Father God

154
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:07,200
ahead of me. And God's allowing me to see this in vision form to impart something to me. So I see

155
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:13,200
him ahead of me and his back is to me and he's in the middle of a very important meeting. Yet he

156
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:19,520
hears me and he stops this very important meeting and he turns around and he opens his arms.

157
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:20,080
Wow.

158
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,200
And I went running into his arms.

159
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:23,920
Beautiful.

160
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:31,120
And he took me into his arms and sat me on his lap. And I proceeded to tell him all the good,

161
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:38,000
the bad, and the ugly in my life, which he already knew. It was for my benefit to run into his arms,

162
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:44,160
sit on his lap, and share everything on my heart. All the times I'd been wounded,

163
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:50,080
all the times I'd messed up. At the end of sharing all these things, I had a peace

164
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:59,280
that passes all human understanding. It was like I was cleansed. I just felt loved in the midst of it

165
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:07,360
and such peace. And the Hebrew word on peace is shalom, nothing missing, nothing broken,

166
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:13,680
and that's how I felt. And I didn't realize until I got up to leave him and I hug him

167
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:20,560
and I go to leave, I turn around and look and his pristine white garment was covered in my mess.

168
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:27,440
It was covered in my ears. It was covered in snot. And I was horrified. I'm thinking,

169
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,600
oh, I'm in trouble because I didn't have the right understanding of Father God.

170
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:40,240
And instead, when I looked at his face, I saw his perfect love, no condemnation. It was this love

171
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:47,280
and this smile that was coming out of his whole being that his daughter came to him

172
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:55,280
in her brokenness, in her need, came to sit on his lap. And he was able to impart to me

173
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:03,120
that healing and that peace that I needed to be cleansed of all that. He took it. Now,

174
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:08,240
he took it by his son, Jesus, but he and Jesus and the Spirit are one.

175
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:15,600
Absolutely. And so, he was showing me his heart as a father for his beloved daughter.

176
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:21,280
And this was, again, part of the being, him imparting my identity as his beloved,

177
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,480
because I used to have very low self-esteem. And when he stopped that important meeting

178
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:33,120
and that vision for me, which he'll do for each one of us, it's because of that love for us

179
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:41,360
personally. That was wonderful impartation and revelation I got in that vision. And that was

180
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:44,960
from spending time with him. Okay. I have a question for you now.

181
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:52,880
Okay. So, you started dating him, and after three weeks, you finally could sit still,

182
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,400
and you weren't bothered by the silence, and you could finally be still. First of all, when did you

183
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:05,120
start having visions, and when did you receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit? So, I started having

184
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:09,360
visions immediately. I prayed that prayer. Wow.

185
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:15,760
It was two visions right from the beginning, even before I went to work the next day and lost my job

186
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:22,560
for a year. He took it seriously when I said I wanted to date him. And when I said I wanted

187
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:30,160
to date him, it wasn't like we think of dating. It was very much, I want to know you're real for me,

188
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:38,080
and I want a relationship. It's not in my head. It's out of my heart. And to know his heart

189
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:46,080
in that relationship. So, I started dating him not too long after my divorce. And the divorce

190
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:52,480
happened in May of 2004, if I remember right. So, it wasn't too long after that. But then,

191
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:58,880
towards the end of that year is when he was putting on my heart the baptism of the Holy Spirit

192
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:04,560
and speaking in tongues. That's when I got that book from the bookstore, a Christian bookstore

193
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,960
in the St. Louis area in O'Fallon. And then I'm like, okay, God, I want to hear this.

194
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:15,120
I want to hear it because I've not heard it. Or if I did, I didn't remember.

195
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:22,400
And so, he brought me to a meeting at a church there I was going to on Friday nights. And

196
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:30,480
Marilyn Hickey was there after the service was ended that night. And it was two weeks into the

197
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:38,240
year 2005. And she was there and at the end she said, anybody that wants to be baptized in the

198
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:47,040
Holy Spirit come forward. But before that point, at New Year's Eve 2004 going into 2005 is when

199
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:53,040
I've heard the speaking and praying in tongues because when I went to the church service to pray

200
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,360
in the New Year, they were praying in tongues. And then I said, Lord, I don't understand what

201
00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:02,400
they're saying. Then the pastor started giving interpretation back and forth. And it was so

202
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:08,720
beautiful. It was so beautiful and I was so drawn. And so, I said, well, wow, Lord, wow,

203
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:14,480
it just really blessed me. So then two weeks later, I went to that service where Marilyn Hickey was

204
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:20,400
preaching on a Friday night. And when she called people forward who wanted to be baptized in the

205
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:26,080
Holy Spirit, about 100 people came forward. They took us to the side and one of their prayer

206
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,200
leader actually had laid hands on me and I was immediately baptized in the Holy Spirit.

207
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:40,480
And to me that was like icing on the cake of dating the Lord because I started getting much

208
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:48,240
more revelation, not just when I'm sitting silent with the Lord now, I'm getting a lot more, like

209
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:57,040
depths. It was like deep calling into deep. And it was just continued through the whole process of

210
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:04,240
the dating and beyond even to now of having these encounters with the Lord. I still have many

211
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:10,400
encounters with the Lord. All I have to do is start thinking about Him. I go in the Spirit and I see

212
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:17,760
the Lord. And He'll give me visions, not just in my relationship with Him because I've had many

213
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,480
visions of being in heaven with Him and just walking with Him. And it's just like extraordinary.

214
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:30,000
It's so beautiful. The thing that gets to me every time I have one of those encounters is His love.

215
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:38,640
There is nowhere you can walk in heaven where you are not just enveloped and you experience

216
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:46,160
His perfect love. I can't even describe it in our natural realm. It is so beautiful.

217
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:52,640
It gives you the greatest experience of wellbeing you can ever imagine. And you get that for

218
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:58,320
eternity. There is nowhere you can walk where you're not getting that presence of the Lord that is so

219
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:08,320
beautiful. His love and His, oh, wow, it's just so beautiful. So this was all, again, part of my

220
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:16,560
being serious about wanting to know Him and wanting to see Him. And it's very important to

221
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:24,800
Him because it says in Hosea 4-6, my people perish for lack of knowledge. It also says in the word

222
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:32,800
that my people don't even seek me to know me. And He is a God who created us for relationship.

223
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:41,520
Absolutely. And what so many people are into, so many things that are so, what He calls evil,

224
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:47,760
and it is evil because He calls it evil, but they are empty and they're seeking for something.

225
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:55,200
They're seeking the wrong things, but God is always there. He has people and He has angels

226
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:04,080
on assignment worldwide to bring people to Him in that relationship. But so many churches even,

227
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:11,440
they're not even preaching on that this is what He wants. That He wants a heart-to-heart relationship

228
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:17,920
with people. And that's what we were created for. And we have to have it for these days we're living

229
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:26,080
in because as we're just watching evil get more evil, you want to put it that way. It's just like

230
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:31,200
there's new realms of evil that have just been coming out. But when the enemy comes in like a

231
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,880
flood, the Spirit of the Lord lifts up that standard. And that's even though we're not seeing

232
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:42,480
it maybe on a national level, we're seeing on an individual level. Yes. And that's just the

233
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:49,360
beginning of the grassroots level. We're about to see an outpouring that nobody has even

234
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,800
hardly imagined what God is going to do. What has the Lord showed you about that, Cheryl?

235
00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:02,000
What's coming? Well, one thing that He has been showing me is He's highlighting the words,

236
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:09,040
examine yourself. In 1 Corinthians 11, when He's talking about communion, He said, examine yourself

237
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:17,280
because He is putting things in order. He's coming as a refiner's fire to refine the people

238
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:23,440
who are calling themselves by His name because He said, many people are, there's so much mixture

239
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:29,520
in the church. They are doing things that if you read His word, a lot of them are abominations

240
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:38,080
to Him. He said, woe to those who call evil good and good evil. And so He is very grieved. So He

241
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:44,480
said, I am coming as a refiner's fire. But at the same time that all this darkness is getting

242
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:51,360
darker and gross darkness on the people that talks about in Isaiah 60, the beginning verses, He says,

243
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:58,080
but arise and shine for the glory of God has risen upon you. And in the midst of Him purifying,

244
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:04,000
getting us ready for His presence in measures we've never even experienced before. And I have

245
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,720
experienced the presence of God. I mean, when you're in His presence over and over, and you're

246
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,840
encountering Him over and over, I experience His glory. But there are times where I literally,

247
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:19,680
I can't stand up. I'm on my face. Even in the Spirit, I can't stand up. I'm on my face in front

248
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:27,280
of the Lord. And I remember when I was in Ethiopia, then we were at this service and the presence of

249
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:33,040
God was so strong. I mean, I literally saw, it was like Pentecost. I saw fireballs coming from

250
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:39,600
people's heads. And they were not little flames from a little candle. They were big. And the

251
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,760
presence of God was so strong, He used me to give some words from His heart to the people. But I had

252
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:51,920
an angel on each side of me just to keep me from falling down because His presence was so heavy,

253
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:59,360
so beautiful and that glory of His. And so He's preparing us. This preparing us and coming as a

254
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:04,720
refiner's fire is not a bad thing. It's actually a beautiful thing so that we can handle His

255
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:11,280
presence when He comes. Because I saw there will be people in the church that He's been dealing

256
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:17,520
with and they have not listened to turn away from sinful things, to seek Him, to know that they're

257
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,880
sinful things. They're participating in things that the rest of the world are participating in.

258
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:32,560
And I have had open visions of people dying in services because His glory comes in and sin

259
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:39,200
cannot stay in the presence of His glory. So you're either going to run to the altar, fall in your

260
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:47,200
face and repent, or I saw people who literally they died. And that's a serious thing. It's serious

261
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:54,000
with the Lord. So He's getting people ready for it and He's saying, examine yourself. I remember

262
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,560
when in 2018 He had me in Haggai for seven months straight. It's only two chapters,

263
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:04,240
but He's talking twice in the second chapter. It talks about the shaking of the nations.

264
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:09,440
And in 2018 He said to me, you're going to see the shaking of the nations. And He said,

265
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,560
but you're going to see the shaking of the church and it will be seen who stands on me and my word

266
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:22,480
and who does not. This is not a one-time thing. He showed me things loosed in the earth. When COVID

267
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,240
was loosed, He said, this is the thing that I showed you that was going to be loosed.

268
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:34,560
But it's being used by the enemy. They're lying. Anyway, they're trying to push things that are

269
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:40,960
very harmful. And God showed me that. He showed me something worse than COVID was coming. And

270
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:46,160
honestly, when the shots came, He said, this is it. He said, people are taking it innocently

271
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:55,360
and with faith in those shots. But He's saying, turn to me. And the more and more things are going

272
00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:01,120
to be loosed in the earth because darkness is getting darker, but God's light is shining brighter

273
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:06,080
in the midst of that darkness and in the midst of gross darkness on people. And He's wanting us to

274
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:14,480
pray for those people. When I see these things and these people that are acting out in such wickedness,

275
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:21,280
I get grieved in my heart, but I'll go into praying for them because God loves them. God so loved

276
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:31,440
the world, the whole world, that He gave His only begotten son to die for all of us. That if we

277
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:37,760
would believe on Him and what He did, the gift He gave through His son, He paid the price. He became

278
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:43,600
sin who knew no sin so that we could become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. It's faith

279
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:48,880
in Jesus. It's a gift and people don't understand that. So here they're involved in so much

280
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:54,080
wickedness and it just seems to be getting more and more wicked, which it is. But now it's because

281
00:30:54,080 --> 00:31:01,280
it's so blatant. It's just out there and the enemy knows it's his time issue. And so, I'm

282
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:09,920
short. Part of this great awakening that's coming is I've seen people come in drawn by the Holy

283
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:15,360
Spirit, having open visions while I'm in prayer, them coming into the places where God's presence

284
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:22,400
is and them just sitting there and the Lord healing them and speaking to them, giving them

285
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:28,560
revelation, giving them peace where they have not had any peace and they didn't want to move. And

286
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:34,800
it's like when I was dating God and even from that point, when I'm in the presence of God,

287
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:43,040
it's so peaceful. You just want to stay there. And He's drawing people there. And He told me when I

288
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,120
was head of prayer at a little church in St. Louis area, I would go in there and pray in the

289
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:55,520
Spirit four or five days a week, an hour each time. And He showed me how many people He's going to be

290
00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:03,120
bringing out of those hard, wicked things, out of brokenness, out of lies. And He said,

291
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:08,240
I'm going to be bringing them into my kingdom and they are going to be so on fire for me because

292
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:14,480
they're going to understand what I've done for them. The woman caught in the act of adultery,

293
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:22,480
she knew it. He says in one part when he's at a dinner and this woman comes and anoints him

294
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:30,080
with oil and then his host is thinking if he were a prophet, he would know who she is and what she's

295
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:39,280
done. But then he addresses that and he says, the one who has been forgiven the most is the one that

296
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:47,440
loves the most. He showed me this in prayer that as He's bringing these broken, lost, messed up ones,

297
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:54,320
really messed up ones, He said, they're going to come to a place of such love for me when they

298
00:32:54,320 --> 00:33:01,600
understand what I've done for them. Beautiful. Beautiful. Well, that's kind of really what

299
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:10,000
happened to you when you said, I want to date you Lord. He dealt with your stuff. He dealt with

300
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:18,080
the cleansing and all the deliverance and getting free from lies and all of those kind of things,

301
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:26,400
which is really the beginning of the walk. You've been walking with Him, what, nearly 20 years now

302
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:33,680
in this, did I get the math right? Yes. Now, I was raised in the church and like I said,

303
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,480
my father, a Bible teacher, and he taught us every day and he didn't just read it,

304
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:45,840
he questioned us. So, that was the foundation. But it was very surface relationship with him.

305
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:52,240
But I always knew, I always talked to the Father. For some reason, it was always Father God I went

306
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:58,400
to talk to. And He answered your prayers. I remember having that, but it was always very

307
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:05,840
childish, like the focus on what I needed, never thinking about what He wanted or needed.

308
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:11,840
And so, He had to bring me out of being a child, a spiritual child for many years. That's why when

309
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:17,440
I saw that vision of going into the throne room of the Father and sitting on His lap,

310
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:25,520
it's because spiritually, I was a young girl for most of my life. Sure. And so, He had to take me

311
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,880
to a place to be able to mature. Yes. And He gave me a lot of revelation that helped me in that

312
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:37,040
maturing. Right. Well, it's about coming into bridal relationship, really. That's really what

313
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:44,480
He's after for all of us is to bring us into that kind of intimacy where you'll kind of lose

314
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:50,000
yourself into Him. And yet, in losing yourself into Him, you're actually getting your identity.

315
00:34:50,000 --> 00:35:00,880
Yes. And you get His heart for all of us, but really, He's wanting that revelation, that

316
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:13,440
impartation to each person who comes to Him. That they were created out of such love. And the depth

317
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:19,920
of His love for us, we have not gone to the depths of understanding of His love. And so,

318
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:26,320
we're… But it says if we come to that place of knowing His love that's beyond knowing in the

319
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:34,320
natural, then we will come into the fullness of God. Like, wow. And so, to me, this whole

320
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:42,960
drawing closer and closer to Him and He is wooing, He's drawing. I can feel it in the spirit. I can

321
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:49,280
feel it in services where I'm at. I can feel it in prayer when I'm praying for people. This drawing

322
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:56,320
of Him. When I'm in the nations, the presence of God is so strong to draw people to Him in relationship,

323
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:04,080
not in religion. That one-on-one relationship with Him. It's powerful, it's beautiful, there's

324
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:11,120
nothing like it. Any stronghold or addiction any person has, if they come into a relationship with

325
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:18,880
the Lord Jesus Christ and the Father by His Spirit, all that stuff will be like nothing in comparison.

326
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:24,640
It changes everything. It does. Because His presence, there's nothing like His presence.

327
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:33,680
Wow. Yes. Like, I can feel Him right now so strong as I'm even just talking about His presence.

328
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:42,320
And I'm just praying right now that anybody that's listening to this, that they feel that drawing of

329
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:49,280
the Lord to Himself, to His heart, that they start being given revelation, dreams and visions.

330
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:54,560
That they start to take that time. I called it dating the Lord, but it was taking that time

331
00:36:54,560 --> 00:37:01,600
to spend with Him, to get to know His heart of love. That He didn't send us, you know, John 3 16,

332
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:07,600
I quoted it for He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten Son. Whoever would believe in

333
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:12,800
Him would not perish but have everlasting life. But the next verse, John 3 17 is so powerful

334
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:17,760
because it says, He didn't send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world

335
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:23,360
through His Son would be saved. Amen. Man, when you come into a place that's not about religion,

336
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:30,960
about what you have to do, you know, but about what He did because we couldn't do it. And He did it

337
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:38,080
through Jesus, the perfect sacrifice for us. It's so powerful. It's so beautiful. When you understand

338
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:46,400
the heart of the Father in sending His Son is that gift, that sacrifice. It is so powerful.

339
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:52,080
It's so life-giving. It's like, I get the joy when I even think about it.

340
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:58,960
You know, I want to dance, I want to sing, I want to shout like, wow, people wake up,

341
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:04,800
get this. It's so good. Yes. Don't run away from the gift, run to the gift.

342
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:13,760
Exactly. And for every single person, they're going to have their own unique calling and identity.

343
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:18,240
They're probably not all going to be called to the nations like you were, but they're called to

344
00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:24,960
whatever God has put on their heart, whatever giftings He's given them and whatever. There's

345
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:31,520
just something unique about every single person that every single person has a voice pattern that

346
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:36,560
is like nobody else. Every one of us thinks a little bit different than everybody else. You'll

347
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:43,760
never find anybody that you're 100% eye to eye with on every single thing. But every single person

348
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:53,920
needs to have their own individual intimate walk with the Lord, with Jesus as the lover of our

349
00:38:53,920 --> 00:39:00,960
soul, with our Father God as our loving heavenly Father, with the Holy Spirit as our best friend,

350
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:08,160
as our helper, as the one who helps us remember what we're supposed to do next and coaches us.

351
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,640
He's like a coach. Yeah. It's like that song we sang the other day, you know, Jesus at the center

352
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:20,160
of it all. Amen. Yeah. And you know, one thing I remember, and I've spoken of this before, being in

353
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:29,040
a maximum security prison where we were doing a conference on the power of purity. And there is a

354
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:34,320
power of purity ministry out there. You can look it up. But the thing is, many of them in there were

355
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:39,520
in there for life, for heinous crimes, a lot of them heinous sexual crimes, even against children.

356
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:46,000
And He gave me a word and the love of God was so strong in there that I teared up. And then the

357
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,760
pastor said, Cheryl, come forward to pray. And when I did, the Lord said, share with them what

358
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:59,120
I shared with you. And I said, God is not holding you bound by your past. He is taking you to the

359
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:06,640
future He created you for. And I remember in ministering the word of God, a Bible study to

360
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:12,960
women coming out of prison and addictions, most of them, was for eight years, I was their Bible

361
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:19,200
teacher. And I would tell you that I kept telling them, He's not trying to beat you up. I said,

362
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:26,560
He didn't come to beat you up. He took the beating for you. He came to draw you and to raise you up.

363
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:34,000
This was one of the biggest things I got out of spending that year with Him was coming into that

364
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:39,680
place where it wasn't about what I had to do to be right with Him. I'm already right with Him by what

365
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:46,640
Jesus did. It was because of what He did. I get to come boldly to the throne of grace, obtain mercy,

366
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:54,240
find grace in my hour of need because of His love for me. I can go there without feeling condemned.

367
00:40:54,240 --> 00:41:00,560
I can go there and be honest and real with Him. I have been very honest and real. You know, there's

368
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:07,920
times I have just like, I mean, I've just laid it all out there, but then He can share with me truth

369
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:14,000
that I didn't know. He can share His heart bringing me through to that better place that I was

370
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:22,880
desiring and freeing me of all my past, all the garbage, all the stinking thinking as well,

371
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:28,560
and the wrong understanding. And I needed a lot of that. It was to be freed of all that

372
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:35,360
because I was raised with the do's and don'ts, the 10 commandments. So it was more about a works

373
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:40,240
than it was about the grace of God, the gift of Jesus to us.

374
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:41,600
Beautiful. Yeah.

375
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:50,240
Beautiful. So since the time that you started with this walk, like did you just arrive at the end of

376
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:55,680
a year and you've been at the same level ever since or what has happened? Have you had milestones

377
00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:02,560
along the way? Yes. And in spending that year and being blessed to spend that year with the Lord and

378
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:10,640
Him taking care of me, I realized this is a forever relationship. It doesn't end when I leave my

379
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:19,120
physical body. I will always be learning even when I go to heaven to be with the Lord because He has

380
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:27,920
so much to impart to us. Even for our eternity with Him, it will be beautiful of learning things.

381
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:37,360
We're going to be wowed forever. You're going to learn forever. You're going to grow forever.

382
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,840
If you're staying in one place, you're not growing, then you're not in the right place.

383
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:48,480
And you need to be thinking and drawing close to Him and saying, okay, I want to know you.

384
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:55,280
I want to know you like Moses wanted to know you. I want to see you just like I said. I want to see

385
00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:02,480
you like Moses and watch what happens. And doing that, it's been a blessing because I can't even

386
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:07,120
begin to tell you how many people I've ministered to and the things that He imparted and revealed

387
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:15,120
to me, I'm able to impart to them. And His presence is so powerful. I mean, sometimes His presence

388
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:22,480
comes so powerfully that like I remember in Ethiopia and I'm praying, I'm teaching, as I'm

389
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:27,360
ministering to people and the presence of God was so strong that they would go on their faces,

390
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:34,640
just worshiping the Lord. And like, wow, but that's how it's going to be for eternity. It's not

391
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:41,600
something that's forced. It is out of our hearts, this worship of who He is and what He's done for

392
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:51,280
us. It's life-changing. Amen. Amen. And so this has just continued. I spend time with Him.

393
00:43:51,280 --> 00:44:00,160
Honestly, this is probably the sixth year that I read the Bible front to back, but I'm not doing

394
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:07,760
it in order, but I'm reading the whole thing twice a year. And I'm reading it because I get revelation

395
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:15,280
in that. Or I might have visions while I'm reading the Bible. Or I might get understanding and

396
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:22,080
visions of things in the future, but really I'm getting a revelation of His heart for us

397
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:30,240
and for me personally too. And I don't want to give that up. I'm drawn to Him. And then being

398
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:37,280
drawn to Him, I'm drawn to His word because it says Jesus is the Word. How can you know Him

399
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:44,080
personally apart from the Word? You can't. And anybody that says you don't need the Word of God

400
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:49,600
is you need to run from them. If you go to church like that and says you don't need to read the

401
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:54,960
Word, you're not in the right place. I'm going to tell you flat out, you are not in the right place.

402
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:56,640
Amen. Wow.

403
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,000
And if you're in the wrong place, you're not going to grow and mature.

404
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,040
Right.

405
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:07,200
If you're being fed things that are not true. But you know what? God is a revealer. So you can go

406
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:13,360
to Him and ask for wisdom, ask for revelation. He gives it abundantly, it says in James chapter 1.

407
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:14,640
Yes.

408
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:20,480
He's not keeping anything back from us. It's ready for us to come to Him and get revelation and get

409
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:28,000
to know Him and get impartation of things. Like you said, He's got books written about every one of us.

410
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:33,440
Psalm 139 when David's talking, he says, there's a book written about me that

411
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,160
every page was written before there was one day of my life. Well, that's true for every one of us.

412
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:44,720
He has a book written about each one of us, our purpose, our God destiny, our pathway.

413
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:50,720
And the enemy has come from the very beginning, even many of us when we were in our mother's womb

414
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:56,720
to try to take us out, to try to get us away from our God destinies, our God purposes.

415
00:45:56,720 --> 00:46:02,880
And when you enter fully into your purpose and you're flowing in that, and it's not something

416
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:09,120
that you've come up with, it's a calling on each person's life. When you get into that,

417
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:16,720
there is joy with that in doing God's will that is His joy, inexpressible and full of glory.

418
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:18,560
Amen.

419
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:23,440
There's nothing like being in the will of God. People say, aren't you afraid to go to some of

420
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:28,080
these countries? I said, I have no fear. I have no fear of death. And many people are afraid of death.

421
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:33,840
Why did so many people take these shots that were not truly tested when COVID came? It's

422
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:39,360
because they were fearing death. They're fearing getting COVID and dying. Well, I don't have any

423
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:44,640
of that fear because I know where I'm going to be. And I've had so many heavenly experiences

424
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:51,360
that I know when I leave this physical body, I'm going to be with the Lord. And it's beautiful.

425
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:57,040
I have no fear of that. But I also know I'm here to fulfill a purpose of God and I'm not going to

426
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:04,320
be out of here before I'm born. I don't want to be out of here until I want to be with the Lord,

427
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:10,160
but I can be with the Lord anytime I want. I can be in the presence of God going in the Spirit

428
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:15,280
and there He is and we will walk together. We will talk together. Praise God.

429
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:22,480
So I encourage people to get into that place where you're not operating by your soul,

430
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:28,160
which is your mind, will and emotions in your flesh. You have a relationship with God

431
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,000
by your spirit man, your real person. Amen. Amen.

432
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,640
Well, would you pray for our listeners to have that very thing?

433
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:44,080
Yes. Father God, I just lift up every person that hears this podcast, Lord, that you would touch

434
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:49,920
them. You would draw them. You would open their eyes of understanding that there's so much more,

435
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:56,480
so much more you have for every single person that they would feel that your presence just light up

436
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:02,560
their spirit being like, wow. And they would be drawn into having this relationship with you,

437
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:08,240
taking the time with you and also being in the Word where you can speak to them and show them

438
00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:14,080
great and mighty things that they know not. And as it says in Jeremiah 33, three, and thank you,

439
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:22,320
Lord, that you are working so powerfully in that drawing people to you and sharing your heart with

440
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:28,880
them, bringing revelation upon revelation that it doesn't just stay with them. You give them a heart

441
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:35,760
to share what you have done for each one of us in sending your son Jesus to reconcile us in this

442
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:41,120
beautiful relationship with you, Father God, in beautiful relationship with you, Jesus,

443
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:47,520
all by your Holy Spirit working through us and in us. And thank you, Lord. This is such a gift.

444
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:54,000
I thank you that you're touching the people that listen to this podcast, even if it's days down

445
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,640
the line that they're going to be touched, they're going to be drawn, they're going to have dreams

446
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:04,160
and visions and revelations from you and the night watches. You're going to make yourself so real to

447
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:13,760
them that they want, you're giving them a want, a want inside their innermost being to have that

448
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:24,000
beautiful love relationship with you. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray this, I speak it, I declare

449
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:36,080
and decree it. It will be so in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.
