(180) “Overcoming Fiery Trials” with Sherry Grubelnik

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400
Lord, fill me up with the oil of the Holy Spirit,

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,300
that I'll be 100% obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

3
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:08,740
I've said that prayer almost daily.

4
00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:10,800
And I think of that now as Lord,

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,980
I am 100% obedient to your leading,

6
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:16,080
what you telling me to do.

7
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:20,380
And it took this second stroke for me to get to that point.

8
00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:23,280
I just think, well Lord, look what you've done.

9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:36,360
God promises in Joel 2:28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity.

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,440
Welcome to Global Outpouring.

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,200
Where we contend for that promised outpouring,

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,480
We equip for that outpouring,

13
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:46,480
that we may engage in that very outpouring.

14
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:47,740
I'm Philip Buss.

15
00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:50,180
And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to the podcast today.

16
00:00:50,180 --> 00:00:52,080
We're so glad that you're with us.

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,120
And we have with us a dear friend of many years, Sherry Grubelnik.

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,920
She has been through some things.

19
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,760
Have you ever been through some things?

20
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,000
Just in case you've been through some things,

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,600
I want to encourage you to stay tuned to listen

22
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,500
how God has been working in Sherry's life to make her an overcomer.

23
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:23,980
And if she can be an overcomer, so can you.

24
00:01:23,980 --> 00:01:27,240
We're so glad that you're with us on this podcast today.

25
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,380
But before we get started, I just want to encourage you to go to our website,

26
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:36,760
globaloutpouring.net, and make sure that we have heard from you,

27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:42,000
at least that you get on our email list so that we can stay in touch with you.

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,740
Something should happen and something comes up and you want to know about it.

29
00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:51,280
You need to be attached to us on that email list so that we can stay close

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,740
and share the heart of the Lord as he gives it to us.

31
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:57,480
And there's so many other things that are on our website,

32
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,120
including a place where you can find our blogs

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,920
and read the things that the Lord has been giving us.

34
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,620
And you can give a donation to help us keep going with this podcast.

35
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:12,660
We would love to get acquainted with you in that area as well,

36
00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:16,000
because if you're being fed by this, it would be wonderful

37
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,760
if you could help us to pay it forward.

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,240
So today we have with us our dear friend Sherry Grubelnik.

39
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,740
We've known each other for a good many years, decades, I would say.

40
00:02:26,740 --> 00:02:31,140
And we've had her with us on a podcast before.

41
00:02:31,140 --> 00:02:36,160
If you remember the podcast that we did with the grandmas

42
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,760
that made a big difference in the city of Lubbock,

43
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,160
making it a sanctuary city for the unborn.

44
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,000
That was an amazing podcast.

45
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,960
And Sherry was a part of that group and helped out

46
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,900
with what was going on in Lubbock, Texas to save lives.

47
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:56,600
And so we just welcome you, Sherry, to be with us again

48
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,740
and share some more of the details of your life

49
00:02:59,740 --> 00:03:03,420
and how the Lord has made you an overcomer by His Word.

50
00:03:03,420 --> 00:03:07,180
Praise God, I'm so happy, happy, happy to be here.

51
00:03:07,180 --> 00:03:08,880
Thank you, Jesus.

52
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,520
Amen.

53
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,260
As we progress in this podcast, telling the stories

54
00:03:13,260 --> 00:03:16,300
that Sherry thinks-- that Sherry's been through,

55
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:18,420
you're going to find out how amazing it is

56
00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:20,260
that she's even here today.

57
00:03:20,260 --> 00:03:22,260
So before we get started with that part,

58
00:03:22,260 --> 00:03:24,640
let's just go back to kind of the beginning.

59
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:26,700
What kind of an upbringing did you have?

60
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:29,700
Were you a churched child, or not?

61
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,240
I grew up in the Methodist Church.

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,820
We went to church Sunday morning, Sunday night,

63
00:03:34,820 --> 00:03:36,480
and Wednesday afternoon.

64
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,120
We grew up with the Apostles' Creed,

65
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,660
quoting it over and over and over.

66
00:03:40,660 --> 00:03:42,980
But we knew the Father, the Son.

67
00:03:42,980 --> 00:03:45,620
They kind of skipped out on the Holy Spirit.

68
00:03:45,620 --> 00:03:48,160
And really not until I was introduced

69
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,920
to End-Time Handmaidens.

70
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,200
And when Amber was born, the Holy Spirit came to Dale and I.

71
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,600
When Amber was born, we were born [again] at the same time.

72
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,400
The Word all of a sudden came to life.

73
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,240
And we knew that there was more.

74
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,700
And we just hungered for more and more and more

75
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,540
of the Holy Spirit.

76
00:04:04,540 --> 00:04:07,580
I was thankful for the upbringing that I had,

77
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:10,980
that my parents taught me to be kind and generous

78
00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:13,920
and to love each other and to love Jesus.

79
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,880
So I did grow up with that.

80
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,860
I just kind of missed out on that Holy Spirit movement

81
00:04:18,860 --> 00:04:21,500
in tongues and with raising our hands,

82
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:23,860
I thought, oh, that's not for me, but whoa,

83
00:04:23,860 --> 00:04:25,800
then here comes End-Time Handmaidens.

84
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,040
Yeah.

85
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,240
Yes, and that was the name of our ministry

86
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,300
before the Lord gave us the name Global Outpouring.

87
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,600
So yeah, that's amazing.

88
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,700
So how old is Amber now?

89
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:42,240
She is 43 years old.

90
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,720
Oh my, so you've been connected to us for quite a while.

91
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,520
I'm 73 now, so yeah.

92
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,620
Wow.

93
00:04:50,620 --> 00:04:53,320
So let's just talk about Amber.

94
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,520
When Amber was born, what did the doctors tell you?

95
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,960
When she was born, they brought her up beside me

96
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,360
and the whole time I carried her,

97
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,900
they didn't do, back then they didn't do the sonogram

98
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:10,060
and all that where they could see the baby.

99
00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:14,500
They brought her up beside me and she was tiny, tiny, tiny.

100
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,400
She had the smallest head and what they did

101
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,240
is they did probably a sonogram of her head

102
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,380
and they thought, does she have a brain?

103
00:05:22,380 --> 00:05:24,740
But they said, yes, she has a brain.

104
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:27,520
But her head size, it was small.

105
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,420
She was real tiny, so everything was small.

106
00:05:30,420 --> 00:05:34,160
And at that time, I know that Dale and I,

107
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,520
when she was born, we were born again.

108
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,920
Just the Lord led us into so much

109
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,400
and calling about the miracles and signs and wonders.

110
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,340
I mean, it was an introduction to all of that.

111
00:05:45,340 --> 00:05:47,840
People started calling us and saying,

112
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:49,700
you need to pray for her to get healed.

113
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:52,040
And I'm thinking, what are you even talking about?

114
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,780
And I said, Lord, I'm gonna go to the Good News Bookstore

115
00:05:55,780 --> 00:05:57,380
and I want you to point out a book.

116
00:05:57,380 --> 00:06:00,980
And so I told Him, I said, this is what I need,

117
00:06:00,980 --> 00:06:02,080
a book on miracles.

118
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,380
And it was Kathryn Kuhlman, "I Believe in Miracles."

119
00:06:04,380 --> 00:06:06,960
I took it home, I started reading it and I said,

120
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,620
Lord, I'm having a hard time believing

121
00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:11,460
that this could happen today.

122
00:06:11,460 --> 00:06:14,460
I said, Lord, I'm gonna call back to that bookstore,

123
00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:17,600
put somebody on the line that has an understanding of it.

124
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,840
Two people answered the phone, one person stayed on

125
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:22,740
and that person, when I told them, they said,

126
00:06:22,740 --> 00:06:26,240
oh, I've been to the Kathryn Kuhlman meetings.

127
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,740
I thought, well, Lord, You knew exactly who to keep on there.

128
00:06:28,740 --> 00:06:31,380
And at that time, I thought I'm taking Amber

129
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:33,820
to Kathryn Kuhlman, but I didn't realize

130
00:06:33,820 --> 00:06:35,820
that Kathryn Kuhlman was already in Heaven.

131
00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:38,260
And so I found out that a Father Diorio,

132
00:06:38,260 --> 00:06:41,720
which you know, I found out that he was gonna be

133
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,960
in Las Vegas, Nevada.

134
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,960
And I told my father, I said,

135
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,560
"I feel like I need to take Amber there to be prayed over."

136
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,100
And my dad said, "You know,

137
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:51,540
I don't think you really have to go there to be prayed for."

138
00:06:51,540 --> 00:06:53,800
But he said, "if that's where your faith is,

139
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,940
I'll get you there."

140
00:06:54,940 --> 00:06:56,680
And so they paid for my ticket.

141
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,940
I got to fly all the way to Las Vegas, Nevada.

142
00:06:59,940 --> 00:07:02,080
And they lined up in a circle all the way around

143
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,540
that big Coliseum.

144
00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:06,520
He laid hands on every single person.

145
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,020
And when he came to Amber, she just kind of went back

146
00:07:10,020 --> 00:07:12,420
like that, you know, I didn't know anything

147
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:14,920
about being slain in the Spirit or anything.

148
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,060
I just thought, well, Lord, I don't know what You did,

149
00:07:18,060 --> 00:07:19,600
but thank You what You did.

150
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,660
Wow.

151
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:25,660
So as Amber grew, she had some learning disabilities.

152
00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:28,700
Is she even verbal now?

153
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:30,940
She's basically nonverbal,

154
00:07:30,940 --> 00:07:34,380
except we communicate very well, expressive.

155
00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:37,540
And she understands me and I understand her.

156
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:39,620
When we go to church, like I said,

157
00:07:39,620 --> 00:07:42,980
she has a spirit realm part of her.

158
00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:45,220
When people have prayed for her before,

159
00:07:45,220 --> 00:07:47,080
she's slain in the Spirit.

160
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,720
She'll put her little head down.

161
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:51,300
Caught away.

162
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:52,620
She'd been caught away.

163
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,700
When we go to church and when the praise and worship music

164
00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,760
is going, she always dances.

165
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,400
They let her even come up to the prayer team.

166
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,740
She gets to pray with the people that are there.

167
00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:07,040
She goes straight to who needs prayer.

168
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,640
The people in the congregation, they always say,

169
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,040
"she came right when I needed it."

170
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,240
She'll hug them and she'll take her hand

171
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,420
and just pat their face and it's amazing.

172
00:08:18,420 --> 00:08:19,680
And she'll go get other people

173
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,560
and drag them over there to be praying for these people.

174
00:08:24,420 --> 00:08:29,100
So Sherry, you have recently had two strokes.

175
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:31,400
Can you tell us about those?

176
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,940
The first one was February, March.

177
00:08:33,940 --> 00:08:36,600
It was, I'd call it a mild stroke.

178
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,380
And I got through it really, really fast.

179
00:08:39,380 --> 00:08:42,900
In that stroke, I lost really my memory of things.

180
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:44,540
I thought, Lord, I'm losing my memory.

181
00:08:44,540 --> 00:08:46,140
I couldn't remember my name.

182
00:08:46,140 --> 00:08:48,180
I couldn't remember Amber's name.

183
00:08:48,180 --> 00:08:49,740
I couldn't remember birth dates.

184
00:08:49,740 --> 00:08:51,980
I couldn't remember people's names.

185
00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:54,780
During that time, I could pray in my prayer language

186
00:08:54,780 --> 00:08:56,120
that whole time.

187
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,460
So I prayed in my prayer language

188
00:08:57,460 --> 00:09:00,100
and I could say the Lord's Prayer, those two things.

189
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:02,800
So I just kept repeating them over and over and over.

190
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,500
And then Mary, my daughter, she came

191
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:07,800
and she got the word out for everybody to start praying

192
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,140
for me.

193
00:09:09,140 --> 00:09:11,400
Whole lot of people started praying for me,

194
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,240
got bombarded with prayer.

195
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,800
And all of a sudden, I looked over at this little plaque

196
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,640
that I hadn't been able to read that had Nana written over.

197
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,240
I looked at it and all of a sudden I could read Nana.

198
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,720
And then all of a sudden I could read everything.

199
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,020
I was even driving after that one.

200
00:09:26,020 --> 00:09:30,460
That stroke was what they call a mild stroke.

201
00:09:30,460 --> 00:09:33,700
The second stroke was in the middle of June.

202
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:37,700
And the second stroke was more of a traumatic stroke.

203
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:39,860
It was way harder.

204
00:09:39,860 --> 00:09:41,800
I was in the same hospital, but I

205
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,740
was in the trauma stroke department on their floor.

206
00:09:45,740 --> 00:09:49,700
And I'd hear crying and moaning and groaning.

207
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:51,420
And I thought, wow, Lord.

208
00:09:51,420 --> 00:09:53,820
And I asked Mary, I said, why is it so different?

209
00:09:53,820 --> 00:09:57,340
She says, because your stroke is more severe,

210
00:09:57,340 --> 00:09:58,860
that you had to be in a place where

211
00:09:58,860 --> 00:10:00,580
you got this kind of care.

212
00:10:00,580 --> 00:10:02,320
And I thought, wow, Lord.

213
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,260
I wanted to go back to that first place.

214
00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:05,620
And I was sad.

215
00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:08,720
When I heard them moaning and groaning, our new son-in-law,

216
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,040
he came in and I said, Isaiah, would you

217
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,380
please go down there and pray for them?

218
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:14,500
So he went down there.

219
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:16,300
He prayed in his prayer language.

220
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:18,700
He left a business card with them.

221
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:20,740
And it was that woman's daughter.

222
00:10:20,740 --> 00:10:23,100
And so that woman's daughter called in a few days.

223
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:26,780
And she said that her mother had gotten to go home

224
00:10:26,780 --> 00:10:28,820
and that she is doing so great.

225
00:10:28,820 --> 00:10:31,860
The nurses said that after Isaiah prayed for her,

226
00:10:31,860 --> 00:10:34,860
it was the most peaceful night that they had had.

227
00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:36,100
And I believe in that.

228
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:38,460
And at that time, and I don't know

229
00:10:38,460 --> 00:10:42,220
if it was because this woman was confused in her head.

230
00:10:42,220 --> 00:10:43,340
I don't know that part.

231
00:10:43,340 --> 00:10:48,020
But I believe that if you are in these places,

232
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:49,980
if you've been saved, and if you've

233
00:10:49,980 --> 00:10:51,480
been filled with the Holy Spirit,

234
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,420
the Lord will get you out of it.

235
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:55,620
He'll bring you out of whatever you're going through.

236
00:10:55,620 --> 00:10:57,180
He'll bring you out of it.

237
00:10:57,180 --> 00:11:00,420
This stroke attempted, I'm just going to say attempted.

238
00:11:00,420 --> 00:11:01,420
It didn't get it.

239
00:11:01,420 --> 00:11:04,660
But to take out my left peripheral in both eyes,

240
00:11:04,660 --> 00:11:07,180
which I still battle with that right now,

241
00:11:07,180 --> 00:11:09,140
with my vision in the left.

242
00:11:09,140 --> 00:11:10,140
I'm going to therapy.

243
00:11:10,140 --> 00:11:13,100
But if you take a piece of paper and I write the alphabet,

244
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:14,420
the alphabet's written on it.

245
00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:16,660
And they tell me circle the alphabet.

246
00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:18,380
I miss it.

247
00:11:18,380 --> 00:11:21,300
Not even circling the alphabet at all.

248
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:24,740
But it just shows me where the therapy needs to be

249
00:11:24,740 --> 00:11:27,140
and where the healing needs to be too.

250
00:11:27,140 --> 00:11:30,100
And I have a therapist that I said, please go back in there.

251
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:32,260
I said, you can take your therapy,

252
00:11:32,260 --> 00:11:34,820
what you need to do in therapy and even medicine,

253
00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:35,780
if that's what's needed.

254
00:11:35,780 --> 00:11:37,820
I said, but most important thing,

255
00:11:37,820 --> 00:11:40,460
lead them to the Lord that they be saved

256
00:11:40,460 --> 00:11:42,140
and filled with the Holy Spirit.

257
00:11:42,140 --> 00:11:45,260
And I think that these places are going to be emptied.

258
00:11:45,260 --> 00:11:46,100
Amen.

259
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:46,940
Amen.

260
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:47,780
Yes.

261
00:11:47,780 --> 00:11:48,820
Amen.

262
00:11:48,820 --> 00:11:50,860
Even now I'm still in recovery.

263
00:11:50,860 --> 00:11:52,140
I'm still recovering.

264
00:11:52,140 --> 00:11:53,860
My vision is still coming.

265
00:11:53,860 --> 00:11:55,860
It's being healed.

266
00:11:55,860 --> 00:11:57,580
And I do, I put the word over it.

267
00:11:57,580 --> 00:11:59,140
I plead the blood.

268
00:11:59,140 --> 00:12:00,740
I've learned to battle in that realm.

269
00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:02,540
But the physical part of it too,

270
00:12:02,540 --> 00:12:05,140
because I'm having to walk out, going to therapy,

271
00:12:05,140 --> 00:12:06,300
actually going to therapy.

272
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:07,900
So it's kind of two prong.

273
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:11,420
It's in the spiritual realm and in the physical realm.

274
00:12:11,420 --> 00:12:13,220
I want to add one thing.

275
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:16,460
There was a verse that I said through both strokes.

276
00:12:16,460 --> 00:12:19,060
And when I opened my eyes, I'd say,

277
00:12:19,060 --> 00:12:22,180
this is the day that the Lord has made.

278
00:12:22,180 --> 00:12:24,220
I will rejoice and be glad in it.

279
00:12:24,220 --> 00:12:26,060
And again, I say rejoice.

280
00:12:26,060 --> 00:12:28,260
And Mary Baker, a good friend of mine, she said,

281
00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:30,020
that's not just a little request.

282
00:12:30,020 --> 00:12:31,860
She said, that's a command.

283
00:12:31,860 --> 00:12:35,260
The joy of the Lord has seen me through so much.

284
00:12:35,260 --> 00:12:36,780
That's wonderful.

285
00:12:36,780 --> 00:12:39,980
Now you told me earlier today when we were chatting

286
00:12:39,980 --> 00:12:43,460
that you heard from the Lord.

287
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:48,020
You got enough vision back since this latest stroke.

288
00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:50,780
You got enough vision back that you could walk.

289
00:12:50,780 --> 00:12:53,140
And what was it the Lord said to you?

290
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:56,900
He said, and this is from the scripture that says,

291
00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:59,980
I'm healed and made every wit whole.

292
00:12:59,980 --> 00:13:02,860
That right there, it made every wit whole.

293
00:13:02,860 --> 00:13:04,740
He put on my arm in me.

294
00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:06,180
He said, walk.

295
00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:10,220
He just kept saying walk and then run and then dance.

296
00:13:10,220 --> 00:13:11,940
And so I'd go outside.

297
00:13:11,940 --> 00:13:14,740
Mary helps with Amber almost every day

298
00:13:14,740 --> 00:13:17,980
and from nine in the morning until five in the afternoon.

299
00:13:17,980 --> 00:13:20,500
So it frees me up to go for a walk.

300
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:22,860
So I took out and I started walking.

301
00:13:22,860 --> 00:13:25,820
Instantly I start praying in my prayer language

302
00:13:25,820 --> 00:13:30,580
and I named it WWC, walk with compassion.

303
00:13:30,580 --> 00:13:33,380
I'm not going out there just to walk for exercise.

304
00:13:33,380 --> 00:13:35,020
I'm walking with compassion.

305
00:13:35,020 --> 00:13:38,820
And I said, Lord, you put people in front of me.

306
00:13:38,820 --> 00:13:41,060
You give me Holy Ghost encounters

307
00:13:41,060 --> 00:13:43,740
and I'll be a hundred percent obedient

308
00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:47,060
to everything you tell me to say and not say

309
00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:49,300
and a hundred percent obedient to do everything

310
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:52,580
you tell me to do and go every place you tell me to go.

311
00:13:52,580 --> 00:13:55,980
And I've been going through our neighborhood.

312
00:13:55,980 --> 00:13:58,300
I'm claiming it for God Almighty.

313
00:13:58,300 --> 00:14:00,380
I'm pleading the blood of Jesus.

314
00:14:00,380 --> 00:14:04,340
I'm praying salvation for every household and the family.

315
00:14:04,340 --> 00:14:06,460
I've gotten to pray for so many people,

316
00:14:06,460 --> 00:14:10,020
so, so many people, even going across a busy street.

317
00:14:10,020 --> 00:14:12,540
And it got real busy and I didn't wanna tempt the Lord.

318
00:14:12,540 --> 00:14:15,540
I said, Lord, send an escorting angel.

319
00:14:15,540 --> 00:14:17,860
And as soon as I said that, the guy that,

320
00:14:17,860 --> 00:14:20,820
it was his wife that I was gonna go to pray over,

321
00:14:20,820 --> 00:14:23,260
he, right there he was, right there on my side.

322
00:14:23,260 --> 00:14:24,940
And he said, do you need help?

323
00:14:24,940 --> 00:14:26,180
And I said, yes.

324
00:14:26,180 --> 00:14:27,860
So he got me to where I need to go

325
00:14:27,860 --> 00:14:30,660
so I could pray for this woman that needed prayer.

326
00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:31,820
I thought, well, Lord.

327
00:14:31,820 --> 00:14:32,860
His wife.

328
00:14:32,860 --> 00:14:35,580
It was his wife.

329
00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:37,660
So yeah, I got to pray for,

330
00:14:37,660 --> 00:14:39,580
I got to pray with both of them.

331
00:14:39,580 --> 00:14:42,500
I'm gonna be going back and I feel that the Lord's

332
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:44,980
gonna have me take communion back to them.

333
00:14:44,980 --> 00:14:48,380
I do wanna say that after this second stroke,

334
00:14:48,380 --> 00:14:51,020
which was the traumatic one,

335
00:14:51,020 --> 00:14:55,620
I have never felt more alive than I do right now.

336
00:14:55,620 --> 00:15:00,260
I have never felt closer to the Lord than I feel right now.

337
00:15:00,260 --> 00:15:04,300
No matter when it's been, I, the Lord,

338
00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:07,260
he allows us to go through what he allows us to go through

339
00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:09,300
so we can turn around and share the Lord,

340
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:11,060
share the love of the Lord with others

341
00:15:11,060 --> 00:15:12,140
that go through the same thing.

342
00:15:12,140 --> 00:15:15,260
And I think that's what's happening to me too.

343
00:15:15,260 --> 00:15:17,180
Wow, that is beautiful.

344
00:15:17,180 --> 00:15:19,740
You know, it reminds me of that scripture

345
00:15:19,740 --> 00:15:22,780
about the fiery trial that is to try you.

346
00:15:22,780 --> 00:15:27,420
And we spoke about this in our last podcast about how,

347
00:15:27,420 --> 00:15:29,380
it's like being in school.

348
00:15:29,380 --> 00:15:33,500
You go to school and you're working on learning a subject.

349
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:36,060
You're learning a part of a subject.

350
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:40,260
And you learn, you listen, you read, you practice,

351
00:15:40,260 --> 00:15:44,060
you do the exercises, and then you have a test.

352
00:15:44,060 --> 00:15:49,060
And the test shows whether you learned this or not.

353
00:15:49,420 --> 00:15:54,100
So once you pass the test, then you go on to the next level

354
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:55,780
and you'll learn something else.

355
00:15:55,780 --> 00:15:57,140
And that's what you're doing.

356
00:15:57,140 --> 00:16:01,380
You are learning to be an overcomer in all of these things.

357
00:16:01,380 --> 00:16:05,780
So let's circle back and let's talk about Amber.

358
00:16:05,780 --> 00:16:10,620
I got into this kind of a whole routine of going places

359
00:16:10,620 --> 00:16:14,980
for her to be prayed for and people to lay hands on her.

360
00:16:14,980 --> 00:16:17,020
And finally I had a dream.

361
00:16:17,020 --> 00:16:20,260
And in the dream, the Lord appeared to me.

362
00:16:20,260 --> 00:16:21,380
He was real.

363
00:16:21,380 --> 00:16:24,380
And I said, you're here, you're right here, please.

364
00:16:24,380 --> 00:16:25,420
Heal Amber.

365
00:16:25,420 --> 00:16:27,780
And he said, don't worry about Amber.

366
00:16:27,780 --> 00:16:29,540
He said, she's fine.

367
00:16:29,540 --> 00:16:31,980
He said, you need to get on with more important things

368
00:16:31,980 --> 00:16:32,860
like your faith.

369
00:16:32,860 --> 00:16:34,860
And I thought, wow, Lord, okay.

370
00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:37,740
So whenever I thought, that's what I really,

371
00:16:37,740 --> 00:16:40,820
I just started really searching the Lord

372
00:16:40,820 --> 00:16:42,340
and building my faith.

373
00:16:42,340 --> 00:16:45,340
And at that time I would pray for Amber.

374
00:16:45,340 --> 00:16:46,780
And this wasn't that long ago.

375
00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:49,500
This was before all these strokes started happening.

376
00:16:49,500 --> 00:16:50,860
I'd pray for her.

377
00:16:50,860 --> 00:16:52,420
I'd cry for her.

378
00:16:52,420 --> 00:16:55,900
And I said, Lord, I believe, help my unbelief.

379
00:16:55,900 --> 00:16:58,780
So before these strokes happened, that's where I was at.

380
00:16:58,780 --> 00:17:01,660
Since these strokes have happened, I believe.

381
00:17:01,660 --> 00:17:04,420
And I know now that I'm gonna be healed.

382
00:17:04,420 --> 00:17:06,340
I know Amber is gonna be healed.

383
00:17:06,340 --> 00:17:09,220
She's gonna be speaking the oracles of God.

384
00:17:09,220 --> 00:17:11,780
That's what the prophetic word was over her.

385
00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:13,420
And the Lord told me the other day,

386
00:17:13,420 --> 00:17:15,700
he said, cup your hand over her ear.

387
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:18,540
So I started cupping my hand over her ear.

388
00:17:18,540 --> 00:17:20,620
And I whisper, I don't whisper in her ear,

389
00:17:20,620 --> 00:17:21,940
I talk in her ear.

390
00:17:21,940 --> 00:17:24,380
And she just, her eyes get real big.

391
00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:26,300
Cause I always knew that she could hear,

392
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:28,500
but how well she could hear, I didn't know.

393
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:31,780
Prophetic words over Amber was that the Lord

394
00:17:31,780 --> 00:17:34,740
was gonna speak through her and that she would be singing,

395
00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:37,660
that she'd be speaking the oracles of God.

396
00:17:37,660 --> 00:17:40,220
And Ellie Matts, when she came through, she saw her

397
00:17:40,220 --> 00:17:42,700
and she said, something is holding her tongue.

398
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:44,220
I don't know what it is.

399
00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:48,220
And then Rhea Van Rinsburg from South Africa, she came.

400
00:17:48,220 --> 00:17:51,460
She saw Amber and she said, something's holding her tongue.

401
00:17:51,460 --> 00:17:52,340
I know what it is.

402
00:17:52,340 --> 00:17:53,980
And I said, well, what is it?

403
00:17:53,980 --> 00:17:55,940
And she said, it's God.

404
00:17:55,940 --> 00:17:59,060
God is holding her tongue until man is ready.

405
00:17:59,060 --> 00:18:02,260
I said, man, get ready, come on, get ready.

406
00:18:02,260 --> 00:18:04,900
And I think that man is ready.

407
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:07,620
And that her voice, her singing,

408
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:09,100
all of that's gonna be released.

409
00:18:09,100 --> 00:18:12,380
And when I believe, because I remember one time

410
00:18:12,380 --> 00:18:15,420
I went to one of the schools with Sister Gwyn Shaw,

411
00:18:15,420 --> 00:18:16,500
they're in Ingottal.

412
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:20,300
And she said, I believe because of the word that says,

413
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:23,300
I knew you before you were ever even formed,

414
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:24,540
you've been knit in the womb.

415
00:18:24,540 --> 00:18:27,540
She said, I believe these kids that have that kind

416
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:31,020
of a challenge, that they volunteered to come

417
00:18:31,020 --> 00:18:33,500
at the way that they are, man, I grabbed onto that.

418
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:34,820
I thought, amen.

419
00:18:34,820 --> 00:18:36,860
And so I put that in the book

420
00:18:36,860 --> 00:18:39,100
because I think there are other people,

421
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:41,900
there's a lot of people that think, well,

422
00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:43,900
there's something wrong with my baby.

423
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:45,940
They told me my baby has Down syndrome

424
00:18:45,940 --> 00:18:48,860
so they wanna abort the baby and they abort the baby.

425
00:18:48,860 --> 00:18:49,740
And they shouldn't have.

426
00:18:49,740 --> 00:18:52,300
And they find out later, if they have the baby,

427
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:53,820
then the baby's fine later.

428
00:18:53,820 --> 00:18:57,180
But that because of the sonogram, they get into fear

429
00:18:57,180 --> 00:18:59,060
about something being wrong with the baby

430
00:18:59,060 --> 00:19:00,140
and they abort them.

431
00:19:00,140 --> 00:19:02,540
And I think that's part of what's happening

432
00:19:02,540 --> 00:19:05,900
in our government too, that they make it easy to do that.

433
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:09,220
And so I do believe, I believe these children

434
00:19:09,220 --> 00:19:10,860
are angels aware.

435
00:19:10,860 --> 00:19:13,060
And that's the name of the book that someday

436
00:19:13,060 --> 00:19:15,300
I'm almost finished with it now.

437
00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:17,940
I'm gonna finish it because of what I've been through.

438
00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:21,180
I finished it years ago, but I never got it published.

439
00:19:21,180 --> 00:19:23,220
And I said, even at one of the conventions

440
00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:25,140
and people come up to me and say,

441
00:19:25,140 --> 00:19:27,820
that prophesy over me at the convention.

442
00:19:27,820 --> 00:19:30,420
They say you have books in you, not just one book,

443
00:19:30,420 --> 00:19:31,700
but many books.

444
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:33,180
And I thought, okay.

445
00:19:33,180 --> 00:19:35,900
I just thought, why Lord, why was this book

446
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:37,260
not being published?

447
00:19:37,260 --> 00:19:40,980
And he said, it's like a hen sitting on the egg

448
00:19:40,980 --> 00:19:42,140
waiting for it to hatch.

449
00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:43,740
He said, it's just not ready yet.

450
00:19:43,740 --> 00:19:45,580
Well, now the Lord told you something about that,

451
00:19:45,580 --> 00:19:46,420
didn't he?

452
00:19:46,420 --> 00:19:47,460
Which part?

453
00:19:47,460 --> 00:19:49,700
So what did he say after the stroke?

454
00:19:49,700 --> 00:19:53,020
After the stroke, I don't think that he specifically

455
00:19:53,020 --> 00:19:57,060
said about that, but what he did say is as you're healed,

456
00:19:57,060 --> 00:19:58,460
Amber's healed.

457
00:19:58,460 --> 00:20:02,460
That book wasn't completed because I didn't have the faith

458
00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:03,700
that Amber would be healed.

459
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:06,380
But now because of the stroke I went through,

460
00:20:06,380 --> 00:20:10,340
I do believe that Amber will be healed and I will be healed

461
00:20:10,340 --> 00:20:12,660
and that she will speak the oracles of God

462
00:20:12,660 --> 00:20:13,700
and that she will sing.

463
00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:15,460
And that's part of the book.

464
00:20:15,460 --> 00:20:18,500
That's hope for a future for these moms and dads

465
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,220
that have children that they think,

466
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:21,740
that they're carrying these children.

467
00:20:21,740 --> 00:20:23,380
They think something's wrong,

468
00:20:23,380 --> 00:20:25,820
that there is hope for, that they'll know

469
00:20:25,820 --> 00:20:28,060
that it's not to be aborted,

470
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:32,420
that it is a call on their life and on that baby's life

471
00:20:32,420 --> 00:20:34,820
and that the Lord's gonna use that.

472
00:20:34,820 --> 00:20:36,980
So I believe that's true with Amber.

473
00:20:36,980 --> 00:20:39,620
I mean, it is, it's been true with Amber

474
00:20:39,620 --> 00:20:42,660
because it says the Lord allows us to go through

475
00:20:42,660 --> 00:20:43,900
what he allows us to go through.

476
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:45,620
So we turn around and share the love of the Lord

477
00:20:45,620 --> 00:20:46,860
with those that go through the same thing.

478
00:20:46,860 --> 00:20:50,180
And so I've had a ministry at some of the churches

479
00:20:50,180 --> 00:20:53,540
just ministering to the parents of these children

480
00:20:53,540 --> 00:20:55,300
and praying with them.

481
00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:58,820
So, and Amber is a blessing.

482
00:20:58,820 --> 00:21:02,780
Even though she's, she is not what you would call normal,

483
00:21:02,780 --> 00:21:04,420
whatever that is.

484
00:21:04,420 --> 00:21:06,820
I've heard that normal is a setting on the dryer.

485
00:21:08,940 --> 00:21:13,260
But even though she's nonverbal, the Lord uses her,

486
00:21:13,260 --> 00:21:15,620
as you said, to pray for people.

487
00:21:15,620 --> 00:21:18,820
So she's an amazing person.

488
00:21:20,020 --> 00:21:23,900
We've spent time with her and she's just wonderful.

489
00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:27,420
She's loving and she's fun.

490
00:21:27,420 --> 00:21:32,020
She lights up when she's, you can tell when she's happy

491
00:21:32,020 --> 00:21:34,180
and you can tell when she's not too,

492
00:21:34,180 --> 00:21:38,460
but she doesn't have to be verbal to express those things.

493
00:21:38,460 --> 00:21:40,220
That's right, that's right, that's right.

494
00:21:40,220 --> 00:21:43,780
And that's why we need to have room for people

495
00:21:43,780 --> 00:21:48,780
that aren't what you might think normal or imperfect.

496
00:21:49,260 --> 00:21:51,260
Do you know anybody that's perfect?

497
00:21:51,260 --> 00:21:52,100
I don't.

498
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:52,940
I don't.

499
00:21:52,940 --> 00:21:53,780
Except Jesus.

500
00:21:53,780 --> 00:21:55,260
That's right, that's right.

501
00:21:55,260 --> 00:21:58,340
And you know, these special needs kids, you know,

502
00:21:58,340 --> 00:22:01,060
to me, they have a ministry

503
00:22:01,060 --> 00:22:03,500
and a lot of people never even recognize that.

504
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:05,500
They think, oh, there's something wrong with them

505
00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:08,300
or they can't talk or they can't think or whatever.

506
00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:10,900
If they've been saved and have the Holy Spirit in them,

507
00:22:10,900 --> 00:22:15,300
now I'm saying if I'm thinking the Lord has a window

508
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:18,100
right there for some reason, I don't know why I think that,

509
00:22:18,100 --> 00:22:21,300
but I just think the Lord uses these children

510
00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:24,820
and then he uses them as a ministry to other people

511
00:22:24,820 --> 00:22:27,940
because they represent love and that's what Jesus is.

512
00:22:27,940 --> 00:22:28,980
He's love.

513
00:22:28,980 --> 00:22:32,580
And I mean, most of these, the Down syndrome kids

514
00:22:32,580 --> 00:22:35,900
and Amber just, if that offends somebody,

515
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:37,420
by the way I'm saying it, forgive me,

516
00:22:37,420 --> 00:22:40,500
but that they are loved

517
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:43,740
and they don't know not to love people.

518
00:22:43,740 --> 00:22:45,180
You know, they love people.

519
00:22:45,180 --> 00:22:46,620
So yeah.

520
00:22:46,620 --> 00:22:49,580
The other thing about Mary, my daughter, Mary,

521
00:22:49,580 --> 00:22:52,180
in the acknowledgement of this book

522
00:22:52,180 --> 00:22:53,580
that I'm gonna finish,

523
00:22:53,580 --> 00:22:56,780
I knew it wasn't just acknowledgement.

524
00:22:56,780 --> 00:22:58,660
I knew it wasn't the perfect timing,

525
00:22:58,660 --> 00:23:01,380
but there's gonna be a chapter in there

526
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:06,020
and it's gonna be Mary, you know, I birthed Mary.

527
00:23:06,020 --> 00:23:08,140
I gave up my time.

528
00:23:08,140 --> 00:23:11,020
I gave up a job to be with Mary.

529
00:23:11,020 --> 00:23:15,140
And now Mary, because of the love of Jesus Christ,

530
00:23:15,140 --> 00:23:18,020
has turned around now for me.

531
00:23:18,020 --> 00:23:20,500
She, with the hospital, she came to see me.

532
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:23,100
She brought me flowers, just like when I took,

533
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:25,060
you know, I don't know that I ever,

534
00:23:25,060 --> 00:23:28,140
when she was born, there was flowers and all that.

535
00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:29,700
I don't remember the details,

536
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:33,940
but everything that I did for her, she is doing for me now.

537
00:23:33,940 --> 00:23:36,260
And I can't tell you, I just think,

538
00:23:36,260 --> 00:23:40,420
well, Lord, more people need to be connected in that way

539
00:23:40,420 --> 00:23:43,100
for their mothers and mothers to the daughters

540
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:44,780
and daughters to the mothers.

541
00:23:44,780 --> 00:23:49,780
And for Mary, she just, she has, she's made me laugh.

542
00:23:50,020 --> 00:23:52,900
She understands me when Dale does not understand me

543
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:55,500
because she's been there with me through it all.

544
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:57,380
She takes me to appointments.

545
00:23:57,380 --> 00:23:59,220
She takes me to therapy.

546
00:23:59,220 --> 00:24:00,660
She picks me up.

547
00:24:00,660 --> 00:24:02,620
She brings food.

548
00:24:02,620 --> 00:24:05,100
Now, Dale is really the one that's cooking for me now

549
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:05,940
and for Amber.

550
00:24:05,940 --> 00:24:09,380
He takes care of me in a most excellent way

551
00:24:09,380 --> 00:24:11,900
with the food for me and Amber.

552
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:13,820
So he's got a ministry too.

553
00:24:13,820 --> 00:24:16,140
I'm trying to kind of help him too.

554
00:24:16,140 --> 00:24:17,900
Cause he's a good cook too.

555
00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:18,980
He's a good cook.

556
00:24:18,980 --> 00:24:21,140
The Lord sent an excellent spirit.

557
00:24:21,140 --> 00:24:22,340
And that was the other thing.

558
00:24:22,340 --> 00:24:24,780
Every place that I've gone, I said, Lord,

559
00:24:24,780 --> 00:24:28,100
wherever I'm going, would you put an excellent spirit

560
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:29,340
on those that are around me?

561
00:24:29,340 --> 00:24:33,060
And that's happened every place I've been, every therapy.

562
00:24:33,060 --> 00:24:36,020
When I was at the therapy center for two weeks,

563
00:24:36,020 --> 00:24:37,740
the people that were there,

564
00:24:37,740 --> 00:24:40,300
they had an excellent spirit on them.

565
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:43,260
Wow. I thought, wow, Lord, you're the one that did that.

566
00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:44,100
You did that.

567
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:44,940
Beautiful.

568
00:24:44,940 --> 00:24:46,020
Beautiful.

569
00:24:46,020 --> 00:24:47,780
Oh, that's wonderful.

570
00:24:47,780 --> 00:24:50,460
And so let's bring that back around to you

571
00:24:50,460 --> 00:24:54,580
because you are not fully healed yet.

572
00:24:54,580 --> 00:24:59,500
You're not fully back to what your normal course of life was,

573
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:01,860
but God is using you.

574
00:25:01,860 --> 00:25:03,900
He's using you as an intercessor.

575
00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:07,500
He's using you as you walk the streets of your neighborhood.

576
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:10,820
He's using you, you knock on people's doors,

577
00:25:10,820 --> 00:25:14,580
you engage them in conversation as you go by,

578
00:25:14,580 --> 00:25:19,020
and you're ministering to people in your weakness.

579
00:25:19,020 --> 00:25:19,860
Amen. Amen.

580
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:23,140
Amen. Wow.

581
00:25:23,140 --> 00:25:26,820
And I'm always, when I come back home after my walk,

582
00:25:26,820 --> 00:25:28,060
Mary will say, how was it?

583
00:25:28,060 --> 00:25:31,580
And I say, wow, it was awesome.

584
00:25:31,580 --> 00:25:33,660
And you still have to go, I don't wanna walk.

585
00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:35,380
I don't wanna go for a walk.

586
00:25:35,380 --> 00:25:37,780
Man, I look forward to it now

587
00:25:37,780 --> 00:25:40,940
because it is a walk with compassion.

588
00:25:40,940 --> 00:25:43,380
And if you walk through the neighborhood with compassion,

589
00:25:43,380 --> 00:25:45,020
you're walking with Jesus.

590
00:25:45,020 --> 00:25:46,460
You're sharing Jesus.

591
00:25:46,460 --> 00:25:49,940
So man, time, and it goes fast for me too.

592
00:25:49,940 --> 00:25:51,220
My feet don't hurt.

593
00:25:51,220 --> 00:25:52,980
My ankles don't hurt.

594
00:25:52,980 --> 00:25:54,940
I went to Austin not long ago

595
00:25:54,940 --> 00:25:57,300
before all this stuff started happening.

596
00:25:57,300 --> 00:25:59,060
When I went up the stairs in the Capitol,

597
00:25:59,060 --> 00:26:00,420
I was huffing and puffing.

598
00:26:00,420 --> 00:26:01,860
I think, not now.

599
00:26:02,820 --> 00:26:06,220
I'm better now than I ever was.

600
00:26:06,220 --> 00:26:08,540
Physically, I'm better, so I know that

601
00:26:08,540 --> 00:26:11,180
whatever the Lord calls me to do,

602
00:26:11,180 --> 00:26:12,780
I'm gonna be able to do it.

603
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:14,580
He's enabled me to do it.

604
00:26:14,580 --> 00:26:17,780
And I tell him, yes, you tell me what to do

605
00:26:17,780 --> 00:26:19,100
and what not to do.

606
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:20,300
And I'm listening.

607
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:25,020
I'm a, Sister Gwen, that prayer that she wrote that one time,

608
00:26:25,020 --> 00:26:28,420
it says, Lord, fill me up with the oil of the Holy Spirit

609
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:30,660
that I'll be 100% obedient

610
00:26:30,660 --> 00:26:32,340
to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

611
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:34,780
I've said that prayer almost daily.

612
00:26:34,780 --> 00:26:36,860
And I think of that now as, Lord,

613
00:26:36,860 --> 00:26:40,020
I am 100% obedient to your leading,

614
00:26:40,020 --> 00:26:42,100
what you telling me to do.

615
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:46,380
And it took this second stroke for me to get to that point.

616
00:26:46,380 --> 00:26:48,940
I just think, well, Lord, look what you've done.

617
00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:53,180
People look at me like, are you all right?

618
00:26:53,180 --> 00:26:57,220
Oh yeah, I'm better than I ever been, yes.

619
00:26:57,220 --> 00:26:58,700
Isn't that wonderful?

620
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:01,060
You know, what you just said a moment ago

621
00:27:01,060 --> 00:27:03,100
reminded me of something that the Lord spoke

622
00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:04,380
to Bobby Connor.

623
00:27:04,380 --> 00:27:07,100
And he brought it out, I've heard him say it before,

624
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:10,220
but he brought it out at the beginning of 2023.

625
00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:13,220
And he said that the Lord said,

626
00:27:13,220 --> 00:27:16,620
I finally found me people weak enough to work in.

627
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:18,340
That's awesome.

628
00:27:19,260 --> 00:27:23,380
And he said, not weak in morals, not weak in ethics,

629
00:27:23,380 --> 00:27:27,300
not weak in character, weak in their own ability.

630
00:27:27,300 --> 00:27:28,380
Yeah.

631
00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:30,380
Died to themselves, amen.

632
00:27:30,380 --> 00:27:31,220
Yeah.

633
00:27:31,220 --> 00:27:34,140
And he said, I have found me a group of people

634
00:27:34,140 --> 00:27:36,020
that's embraced John 15, five,

635
00:27:36,020 --> 00:27:38,140
without me you can do nothing.

636
00:27:38,140 --> 00:27:39,060
Oh, wow.

637
00:27:39,060 --> 00:27:39,900
Wow.

638
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:40,900
That's so good.

639
00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:42,660
And Philippians 4, 13 says,

640
00:27:42,660 --> 00:27:44,820
but I can do all things through Christ

641
00:27:44,820 --> 00:27:47,060
who infuses me with inner strength.

642
00:27:47,060 --> 00:27:48,060
Yeah.

643
00:27:48,060 --> 00:27:48,900
Yes.

644
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:51,580
If I can interject the scripture we had earlier,

645
00:27:51,580 --> 00:27:55,380
talked earlier, you know, it was 1 Peter chapter four,

646
00:27:55,380 --> 00:27:56,700
that was 12.

647
00:27:56,700 --> 00:27:57,940
Now this is King James.

648
00:27:57,940 --> 00:28:00,820
Beloved think and not strange concerning the fiery trial,

649
00:28:00,820 --> 00:28:02,500
which is to try you.

650
00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:05,700
As so some strange thing happened unto you.

651
00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:09,940
Verse 13 says, but rejoice in as much as ye are partakers

652
00:28:09,940 --> 00:28:14,300
of Christ's sufferings, that when his glory shall be revealed,

653
00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:17,820
he may be glad also with exceeding joy.

654
00:28:17,820 --> 00:28:18,660
Beautiful.

655
00:28:18,660 --> 00:28:20,700
You know, that's just really,

656
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,420
and it's sometimes to realize that scripture,

657
00:28:23,420 --> 00:28:25,460
sometimes you have to go through something.

658
00:28:25,460 --> 00:28:26,300
Yeah.

659
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:28,020
Philip, when you read that while ago,

660
00:28:28,020 --> 00:28:30,140
that really, it hit home for me.

661
00:28:30,140 --> 00:28:34,420
I was thinking, yes, amen, that scripture is so true

662
00:28:34,420 --> 00:28:37,620
that, you know, that we go through these,

663
00:28:37,620 --> 00:28:39,460
it's really getting rid of the dross.

664
00:28:39,460 --> 00:28:43,460
I think, you know, that we come out as pure as silver,

665
00:28:43,460 --> 00:28:46,500
you know, and I believe that's what it is,

666
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:48,060
but praise God.

667
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:49,700
I'm thanking the Lord.

668
00:28:49,700 --> 00:28:54,700
What Isaiah, my new son-in-law, he said, suffer well.

669
00:28:54,940 --> 00:28:57,260
When he'd tell me that, when he came up to see me,

670
00:28:57,260 --> 00:28:59,460
he'd say, we have to learn to suffer well.

671
00:28:59,460 --> 00:29:00,940
And at first I'm thinking,

672
00:29:00,940 --> 00:29:03,300
I don't want to learn to suffer well.

673
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:07,060
I'm thinking, okay, well, now I see what you're saying.

674
00:29:07,060 --> 00:29:10,020
I think, yes, we're gonna suffer well, wow.

675
00:29:11,420 --> 00:29:14,100
Let me read it to you in the Passion Translation.

676
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:15,180
Okay.

677
00:29:15,180 --> 00:29:17,740
1 Peter 4.12, beloved friends,

678
00:29:17,740 --> 00:29:21,780
if life gets extremely difficult with many tests,

679
00:29:21,780 --> 00:29:24,700
don't be bewildered as though something strange

680
00:29:24,700 --> 00:29:26,460
were overwhelming you.

681
00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:27,660
Instead, verse 13,

682
00:29:27,660 --> 00:29:32,500
instead, continue to rejoice for you in a measure

683
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:34,980
have shared in the sufferings of the anointed one

684
00:29:34,980 --> 00:29:38,860
so that you can share in the revelation of his glory

685
00:29:38,860 --> 00:29:42,300
and celebrate with even greater gladness.

686
00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:43,140
Yeah.

687
00:29:43,140 --> 00:29:44,860
Wow, wow, wow, wow.

688
00:29:45,740 --> 00:29:48,820
That touches my heart, that reaches my heart, amen.

689
00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:51,580
Thank you so much, Sherry.

690
00:29:51,580 --> 00:29:54,740
We really appreciate you being with us today.

691
00:29:54,740 --> 00:29:56,740
And we're just so proud of you

692
00:29:56,740 --> 00:29:59,180
that you are being such an overcomer,

693
00:29:59,180 --> 00:30:03,740
that you are keeping your attitude so sweet

694
00:30:03,740 --> 00:30:07,620
and trusting in the Lord and standing on his word.

695
00:30:07,620 --> 00:30:11,940
And it's causing you to get brand new great faith.

696
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:15,380
So Sherry, before we close, I would like to ask you,

697
00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:20,380
if you, out of the experiences of how you are going

698
00:30:21,300 --> 00:30:25,500
in your weakness in the strength of the Lord,

699
00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:28,300
can you pray for our listeners?

700
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:29,780
Absolutely.

701
00:30:29,780 --> 00:30:30,620
Yes.

702
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:33,220
Father, I come to you now, right now,

703
00:30:33,220 --> 00:30:35,740
in the name of your precious Son, Jesus Christ.

704
00:30:35,740 --> 00:30:37,900
And Father, I'm gonna wait on You.

705
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:40,060
I don't wanna pray what I'm thinking, Father.

706
00:30:40,060 --> 00:30:43,340
I'm gonna wait on You to pray through me, Father.

707
00:30:43,340 --> 00:30:44,180
Thank You, Father.

708
00:30:44,180 --> 00:30:48,260
[praying in tongues]

709
00:30:48,260 --> 00:30:51,860
Father, I know that You know every person that's listening.

710
00:30:51,860 --> 00:30:54,100
Father, I know that You're touching hearts

711
00:30:54,100 --> 00:30:57,380
in certain areas, Father, that You're quickening them.

712
00:30:57,380 --> 00:30:59,380
Father, to hear what You're saying,

713
00:30:59,380 --> 00:31:01,700
not what I'm saying, but what You're saying.

714
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:06,100
And Father, just You're renewing hope for a future, Father,

715
00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:08,340
that they won't think that this is it,

716
00:31:08,340 --> 00:31:10,620
that they don't have much life left in them,

717
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:13,860
or that they've slowed down, this, that, or the other.

718
00:31:13,860 --> 00:31:16,940
But Father, You have a plan to prosper them

719
00:31:16,940 --> 00:31:19,740
in all their ways and not harm them.

720
00:31:19,740 --> 00:31:22,020
And Father, because of salvation

721
00:31:22,020 --> 00:31:24,180
and because of being filled with the Holy Spirit,

722
00:31:24,180 --> 00:31:28,220
because of You, Father, there is no pit so deep

723
00:31:28,220 --> 00:31:29,420
that You're not there.

724
00:31:29,420 --> 00:31:32,580
There's no darkness so dark that You're not there,

725
00:31:32,580 --> 00:31:34,460
that You never give up on us.

726
00:31:34,460 --> 00:31:36,540
You never leave us, Father.

727
00:31:36,540 --> 00:31:39,060
And I just thank You, Father, for making that

728
00:31:39,060 --> 00:31:41,540
more of a reality to every person

729
00:31:41,540 --> 00:31:43,260
that's listening to this podcast,

730
00:31:43,260 --> 00:31:46,100
that they're gonna know that they know that they know

731
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:47,420
that You're for them.

732
00:31:47,420 --> 00:31:49,140
You are not against them.

733
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:51,700
And Father, that You're building them up

734
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:54,180
to be everything that, Father,

735
00:31:54,180 --> 00:31:57,340
everything that You have called them to do, Father.

736
00:31:57,340 --> 00:32:01,020
And Lord, that You have a plan for them, Lord.

737
00:32:01,020 --> 00:32:04,300
And I thank You that that plan will be complete

738
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:06,860
until the day of Christ Jesus.

739
00:32:06,860 --> 00:32:09,420
You don't leave them halfway, Father.

740
00:32:09,420 --> 00:32:13,260
You don't leave them on the side of the road, Lord.

741
00:32:13,260 --> 00:32:16,460
You finished the work that You started

742
00:32:16,460 --> 00:32:18,700
that only You can finish, Father.

743
00:32:18,700 --> 00:32:21,260
So I thank You for completing every person

744
00:32:21,260 --> 00:32:23,300
that's listening right now and that's thinking,

745
00:32:23,300 --> 00:32:25,940
oh, I'm going through this and I'm going through that.

746
00:32:25,940 --> 00:32:27,580
Father, You know who they are,

747
00:32:27,580 --> 00:32:31,500
that You're completing them in Christ Jesus, father,

748
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:36,020
that You're renewing their hope for a future, Father.

749
00:32:36,020 --> 00:32:39,100
Lord, renew their hope for a future, Father.

750
00:32:39,100 --> 00:32:42,020
That they're not thinking, well, they told me this,

751
00:32:42,020 --> 00:32:44,140
they told me that, the doctor said this,

752
00:32:44,140 --> 00:32:45,540
the doctor said that.

753
00:32:45,540 --> 00:32:47,980
Oh, the reports are this, reports are that.

754
00:32:47,980 --> 00:32:50,460
We don't believe the report of the enemy.

755
00:32:50,460 --> 00:32:53,660
Only the report of God and it's a good report.

756
00:32:53,660 --> 00:32:56,020
We thank You, Father, for Your goodness, Father.

757
00:32:56,020 --> 00:32:59,100
We thank you for these people that are listening right now,

758
00:32:59,100 --> 00:32:59,940
Father.

759
00:32:59,940 --> 00:33:01,020
Lord bless them.

760
00:33:01,020 --> 00:33:03,500
I ask these things in name of Christ Jesus.

761
00:33:03,500 --> 00:33:06,660
And Father, I thank You that You give them quick

762
00:33:06,660 --> 00:33:09,540
and witty ideas, Father, that Holy Spirit,

763
00:33:09,540 --> 00:33:12,460
You lead them into all fullness, Father.

764
00:33:12,460 --> 00:33:14,980
And no matter what it is, Father,

765
00:33:14,980 --> 00:33:18,340
that You give them quick and witty ideas, Father,

766
00:33:18,340 --> 00:33:21,460
on how to walk this out, how to talk it out,

767
00:33:21,460 --> 00:33:23,340
how to live it out, Father.

768
00:33:23,340 --> 00:33:24,900
Lord, I don't know where they're at.

769
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:27,500
I don't know if they're in a rehabilitation home

770
00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:29,860
or a hospital or anything like that.

771
00:33:29,860 --> 00:33:33,020
But Lord, You know exactly where they are, Father,

772
00:33:33,020 --> 00:33:35,740
because of salvation in the Holy Spirit, Lord,

773
00:33:35,740 --> 00:33:37,460
that you can reach out to them

774
00:33:37,460 --> 00:33:39,220
and they can reach out to you.

775
00:33:39,220 --> 00:33:41,100
And Lord, that you can renew them,

776
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:43,380
revive them, restore them, Lord,

777
00:33:43,380 --> 00:33:45,900
from the top of their head to the soles of their feet,

778
00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:49,420
inside out in Jesus precious name, amen.

779
00:33:49,420 --> 00:33:50,260
Amen.
