Keep It 100 with Sean & Christa Smith

With every season that we exit out of and enter into, there are "landmarks" and "land mines", This year 2024 will be no exception and will carry a unique weight of Destiny on it. This year will pose some different challenges, but it's a season of fresh strategies, breakout reformations and unexpected harvest. There will be a need to be open to Holy Spirit "deviations" to disrupt Hell's agenda.

In this episode of Keep It 100, we talk about what we are witnessing in this hour and interview Christa on her sense of what God is speaking to her about this upcoming season (based on a message she preached at "Momentum 2024.

Join us in this space where we take on real issues with real insight and real inspiration.

00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,840
This podcast is for those not looking for temporary relief to change circumstance, but

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,920
revelation to forever change lives.

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,720
Hey welcome to another episode of Keep It 100 with Sean and Christa.

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,680
Hey everybody, so excited to be with you once again.

7
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:34,280
This is truly going to be a special episode because Christa and I and our entire team

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,840
have just come out of a phenomenal gathering that we've been telling you guys about Momentum

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,080
2024.

10
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:47,120
Some of you recall we had our first one in 2023 and then it just began all kinds of stuff.

11
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,120
We began to have monthly meetings.

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,200
We were planning Momentum 2024, but we had no idea what we were in for.

13
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,240
It really has been a sovereign work of the Lord and that is just so encouraging when

14
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,400
God moves in a way you just didn't expect you prayed for, right?

15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,880
You believed for it, but then when you see it actually happen, that began in 2023 and

16
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,400
we're just seeing really just a deeper increase.

17
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,840
Like 2023 Momentum was absolutely incredible.

18
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,000
It was mind-blowing and I felt super changed.

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,960
And then Momentum 2024, the purity in the room, the presence of God in the room was

20
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:26,640
so special and so incredible and we just went really, really deep.

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,960
So it felt again, very marking and I feel once again, like I did last year, I have a

22
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:37,920
really hard time articulating all that God did because it was such a deep and layered

23
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,840
work that he did in the room with all of us.

24
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,000
It was so special.

25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,040
You know, we had a phenomenal crowd of people that packed out.

26
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,640
We had to pull out more chairs.

27
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,200
We had people sitting in the risers and it just opened up.

28
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,360
And I would just love Chris to just to give a quick little recap of just what we experienced

29
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,840
and what we saw.

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,720
One of the things that I think was so important was the worship and people testified about

31
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,640
this boo that it was worship was just so Jesus centered, glory packed.

32
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:10,160
People just felt this pure stream.

33
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,360
People over and over said the worship was so pure.

34
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,040
Didn't feel manufactured.

35
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,160
It was just so pure.

36
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,640
And it was like we were caught up during these times of worship.

37
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:20,640
It's really true.

38
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:24,960
And I had an encounter with the glory of the Lord, a really unique encounter.

39
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,480
And I've actually never had an encounter like that.

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,720
And it was just a realm that opened up in the atmosphere.

41
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,720
And so what we experienced as a corporate body, it felt like everyone was having these

42
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,520
individual encounters and yet we were having one big corporate encounter.

43
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,480
And like Sean said, there was this collective unified agreement on the purity in the room

44
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,760
that there was no agenda.

45
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,280
But Jesus like Jesus was being glorified and it wasn't like anyone was trying to pull attention

46
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,680
to themselves.

47
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,240
It was simply God was in the room and we couldn't help but adore him.

48
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,240
Yes.

49
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:06,200
And we saw people just come and flood the altar's leg out before the Lord.

50
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,320
It was in that time that you could feel such faith in the room that there was a guy that

51
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,880
came on with crutches because of an injury to his leg that literally he got prayed for.

52
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,320
I think his service was starting worship was starting.

53
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,800
And I love it just some people prayed for him and he threw his crutches on the altar

54
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:27,400
and it stayed on the altar for the rest of the conference slash not conference gathering.

55
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,920
And I got a chance to talk to him at the end and hug him and take a picture selfie with

56
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:31,920
him.

57
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:33,320
He just said, he got healed.

58
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,320
God touched him.

59
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,320
Come on.

60
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,320
I love that.

61
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,520
And it was so, it was so cool.

62
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,080
Like I don't know how I missed it.

63
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,920
I think I was just worshiping and I was so focused on Jesus.

64
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,840
I somehow missed it when the crutches crowd surfed and you there's a beautiful picture.

65
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,840
I have it on my social media.

66
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,920
So if you want to check it out, it's my last post.

67
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,040
And it really to me sums up how momentum felt.

68
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:00,080
It was just this like joy, miracles, signs and wonders.

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,080
God of the impossible making it possible moment where Sean's holding the crutch with the biggest

70
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,520
smile like such a joy.

71
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,920
And I just felt like it summed it up.

72
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,120
It captured like, oh my gosh, we're living in the days where we're experiencing the fullness

73
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,240
of what God's intended for us to experience.

74
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:22,880
And I think so many of our faiths in that moment and just throughout momentum conference

75
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,640
was this reminder and maybe for some people, the light bulb went on for the first time

76
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,120
and that is the stuff is real.

77
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,680
God's real and the Bible is real.

78
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,920
The book of Acts is real.

79
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,360
Like God really does this.

80
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,360
Yes.

81
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,360
Freedom in the room.

82
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,360
People receive freedom.

83
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,360
So free.

84
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,360
There was deliverances throughout the conversation.

85
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,360
So many deliverances.

86
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,360
It was beautiful.

87
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,200
You knew they were getting set free.

88
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,200
Yes.

89
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,200
It was amazing.

90
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,200
We broke for souls.

91
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,080
I mean, I was sobbing, just crying out for the loss.

92
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,200
We were challenged in the area of using our voice.

93
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,600
Particularly we've got an opportunity to impact this nation and shape the narrative over a

94
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,600
generation.

95
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,280
We need to use our voice, voice of righteousness, the prophetic voice.

96
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:08,400
We heard messages that just the hunger for the more.

97
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,600
We heard messages on just purity, on hearing the voice of God.

98
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,560
I mean, there were so many different things.

99
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Our identity, the fact that our work is unfinished.

100
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:25,400
It's hard to put in the words, the variety of the way we were spoken to.

101
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,240
It was like the spirit of God just began to deal with all these different areas.

102
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,520
And then we culminated with your session, which is really what this episode is going

103
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:40,280
to be about because Christy, you shared a phenomenal session on just prophetic things

104
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:43,280
that you felt like the Lord was sharing with you.

105
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:46,720
And right before we jump into that part because I'm going to interview Christ and then I'm

106
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,720
going to share some stuff.

107
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,640
I just want you to know, I know many of you, you go, man, I wasn't able to make it to Momentum

108
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,640
2024.

109
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,680
I didn't do the live stream as of right now.

110
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:03,280
You can go on our website, SeanandchristaSmith.com and you can order all of the sessions

111
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:04,840
from Momentum 2024.

112
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:11,360
And we literally just people weeping people talk to us from people that have been around

113
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,920
the faith for a while to new believers.

114
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:19,520
And they all said that it was just something that was so for them earth shattering, like

115
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,600
just something that they'll never be the same.

116
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,240
And so you're going to want to go on right now and you can get all of the sessions on

117
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,480
our website right now.

118
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,480
And so you want to do it.

119
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,480
So let's jump in this.

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,480
You ready for this?

121
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,480
Ready.

122
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,480
Let's do it.

123
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,680
I was listening to some guys talk about this and I just want to say this.

124
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,280
The guy made something, you know, in terms of a point, he made, he said something I thought

125
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:41,680
was really profound.

126
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,800
He says, on one hand, not everybody has to have a brand new year word.

127
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,560
You know, like, I think there's a temptation that's like, Oh, it's 2024.

128
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,560
I got a prophecy.

129
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,560
I got to have a word.

130
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,560
Oh, it's going to be 2025.

131
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,560
I got to have a word.

132
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,280
But at the same time, it doesn't negate the fact that God doesn't want to speak and is

133
00:06:58,280 --> 00:06:59,280
speaking to us.

134
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:02,280
And I could truly say, listen to your message and knowing you.

135
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:06,480
You really have a bead on the word of the Lord.

136
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,360
So Christa, I just want to begin by asking you one of the things that you spoke about

137
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,960
in your message, as you began to speak about one of the things you saw God doing in this

138
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,200
next season was the midwife anointing.

139
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,000
Can you break that down and share with us what it is that God spoke to you as a release

140
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
to that?

141
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,760
I heard the Lord say that this is a year of birthing and that I'm mantling the bride

142
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,600
with a midwife anointing.

143
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,400
I didn't understand the verb it's per se, but he took me through a study in scripture

144
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,800
and then he gave me a prophetic word to kind of break that down to really make that statement

145
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,280
that feels a bit abstract, a little bit more digestible.

146
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,760
And what I heard the Lord say is that because this is a year of birthing, I felt like the

147
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,920
Lord said, I'm raising up people in this hour with a midwife anointing that are going to

148
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,280
help birth this move of God that he's doing right now.

149
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,080
And I really believe that we're in a moment of a divine push and I'm going to kind of

150
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,920
break down what does that push mean and what does that look like in our lives.

151
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,520
But the Lord then reminded me that when something's birthed, imagine a delivery room, there's

152
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:09,360
a cry that's released when something's getting birthed and it's raw, it's undignified, it

153
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,680
can make you uncomfortable.

154
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,960
If you're not comfortable with unusual noises, don't go near a delivery room because there's

155
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,000
all sorts of sounds.

156
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,040
There's all sorts of not your normal everyday sound.

157
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,880
You're like, whoa, I'm here in a location and in a place where something that is not

158
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,960
normally happening is happening.

159
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,840
When you're around something getting birthed, you're like, whoa, hold on, I've got to know

160
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:40,480
why I'm here and what I'm doing here because you feel the sensitivity of the location.

161
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,320
And I feel like that's true of the church right now.

162
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,640
Understand your assignment in this hour and understand the location that we're called

163
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,520
to walk in at this moment.

164
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,880
And I felt like the Lord says, what he's about to release this sound that we're going to

165
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,560
hear in the delivery room of revival, it will make you uncomfortable.

166
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:01,840
And it's going to press on every religious bone in the body of Christ.

167
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,000
And truth is, some of us may not even like it at first, right?

168
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,200
Because it's going to be loud, it's going to be messy, it's going to be radical.

169
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,760
But the push that I'm talking about that's going to happen in this delivery room of God,

170
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:13,920
it's going to bring order.

171
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,360
And it's actually going to push out anything that is not essential.

172
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,520
And what do I mean by that?

173
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,000
All the fluff, all the nonsense, all the things that we focus on that truly don't have eternal

174
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,400
value.

175
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,000
They are going to lose their pull or sway with us.

176
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,840
We're really just going to focus on what's actually really important, the undiluted gospel,

177
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:37,520
the presence of Jesus, worshiping and adoring him, praying, being intercessors, being watchmen

178
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,800
on the wall, and actually partnering with what God's doing and walking in the fullness

179
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,960
of what's available to us.

180
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,560
So when you push and you understand the assignment, all of a sudden the other things that used

181
00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:53,080
to seem so important distract you, take up your time and kind of just get you off focus

182
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,960
of who we are in God.

183
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,160
God's like, as you guys push into the things of what I'm doing, all that other stuff that

184
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,320
is not essential is actually going to just be pushed out of the way because when you're

185
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,600
in the delivery room of revival, when you're a midwife and the anointing, it brings a focus

186
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,960
to why you're doing what you're doing.

187
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,600
And God says, I'm bringing a focus to the church.

188
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,160
And that's why so many people have been battling a spirit of distraction.

189
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,840
I've asked so many people when I've been, when I've ministered or just in private conversation,

190
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,520
like when you are spending time with God or when you're trying to press in, like everything

191
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,440
you're supposed to cover that day, that week, that month, that year pops into your mind,

192
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,440
right?

193
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,440
Anyone relate to that?

194
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,160
Some of you listening or we're going, Christa, that's me.

195
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,120
I'm like, that's a spirit of distraction, but it just shows you God's actually going

196
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,560
to break that spirit of distraction and he's bringing a focus in 2024 to the church.

197
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:44,440
Like we're going to really understand what we're about.

198
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,500
But I felt like the Lord says, as you press in, understand there at times will be resistance.

199
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:53,600
But if you do not give way to their resistance, if you don't come underneath the, the, the

200
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,560
opposition, if you don't come underneath the criticism or what people think or that man

201
00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:03,440
pleasing, if you just stay true to what God has called you to birth in this season and

202
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,400
to be a midwife, and that is you being in position as a coach in the delivery room of

203
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,400
revival.

204
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,200
That's you sitting there looking at the people, the body of Christ, the church, the bride at

205
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:19,720
large, and you're actually in a position to encourage her to coach her and to call her

206
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,320
to a place of birthing.

207
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,880
And so what does that mean?

208
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,600
That means when she lags, you're like, come on, come on, get up, get up.

209
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,920
It's time to get up, mama.

210
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,400
And then it's time to push.

211
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,400
It's time to press in.

212
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,400
Nope.

213
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,400
Come on.

214
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,040
Don't, don't get stuck where the enemy wants you to get stuck.

215
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,040
Don't take the bait.

216
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,160
Don't get caught up in that narrative.

217
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,160
Don't get distracted.

218
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,160
Stay focused while you're here.

219
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:44,000
What you, what you carry, who you are, you are reminded you're in a position to remind

220
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,840
to declare, to pray through and to position, help position the body of Christ to birth

221
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,960
this move of God.

222
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:57,520
So I feel like the midwife anointing has a responsibility of intercession of declaration

223
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,920
and positioning in an area of authority.

224
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:06,240
And I was reminded of Exodus one, versus 13 through 15, were introduced.

225
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,960
The king of Egypt is addressing two midwives named Shifra and Pua.

226
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,080
And these two midwives, they were barren.

227
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,000
That's how a woman was designated and chosen to be a midwife.

228
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,960
It's because she could not have children of her own.

229
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,000
So here's this barren woman that is asked to have an assignment to bring life and to

230
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,840
help give life and to help these women birth what they're carrying in the natural.

231
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,440
But he gets intimidated of the, of the children of Israel.

232
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,440
And so where they were once friends, they're now viewed as enemy of the Egyptian people.

233
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,760
So if you're tracking with me, because the king is now intimidated by the children of

234
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,600
Israel, he now wants to create a genocide and he wants to go after the male baby.

235
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,160
So he calls these midwives in where their assignment up into this point has been to

236
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,160
give life.

237
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:58,280
He's saying, I want you actually to kill every male heir that's born.

238
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,680
But what he did not understand and what he fully underestimated was these two midwives

239
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:04,880
feared God above him.

240
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:11,400
And so the king didn't understand that the fear of God is higher than the fear of a king

241
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:12,760
in the natural.

242
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,280
And so he thought he would have their buy-in because of his authority, because of his,

243
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,200
you know, clout in the natural.

244
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,080
But what I love is these women had a choice.

245
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,160
Who are they going to fear?

246
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,320
Are they going to fear the king?

247
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,480
Are they going to fear the king of kings?

248
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,800
And they chose to fear the king of kings.

249
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:34,080
And because they did this, they ended up saving a nation, a people group, the children of

250
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,920
Israel from a genocide.

251
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:42,560
See, the king was actually wanting to ultimately take out the children of Israel and it was

252
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,040
a slow genocide.

253
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,720
And I mean this because if you take all the males out of a society or a people group,

254
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,640
you're not going to be able to reproduce.

255
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,520
If you take all the males out of a society and a people group, you will have a fatherless

256
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,520
generation.

257
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,040
You will have orphans, which is key to identity.

258
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,020
And so he was going after their identity.

259
00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:05,160
He was going after their ability to reproduce, have legacy, have inheritance.

260
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,320
Like he was going, he was very strategic.

261
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,640
They weren't going to really feel the full consequences of this declaration from the

262
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,840
king for decades in a sense.

263
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,520
Really, when those, you know, people would age, then you would really see the fallout

264
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,760
of this decision.

265
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:26,000
But these midwives, because they had foresight, they were like, we cannot actually have a

266
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,880
new assignment because we already understand our assignment.

267
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:34,160
Our assignment is to honor God and to bring life and to release life and guard life and

268
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,440
protect life.

269
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,520
And because they understood, they actually ended up saving the people, the people of

270
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,320
God and they actually were in the time where Moses was spared.

271
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,000
And this is really cool that when you actually study the history of this story, this is when

272
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,200
Moses, that's why he was found in a basket, right?

273
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,960
In the Nile is because this was during the time where the king of Egypt was trying to

274
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,080
take out.

275
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,480
So his mom and dad had kept him and hidden him for three months, but now he's obviously

276
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,960
too old to hide.

277
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,080
So what do they do?

278
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,800
They put him in a basket and then one of the Pharaoh's daughters finds this beautiful baby

279
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,520
boy, Moses, in a basket, adopts him, brings him into the royal family.

280
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,080
And that's how Moses ends up.

281
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:23,120
It's because of the movement that Shifra and Pua did as a midwife.

282
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,600
They're called for courage, they're called for bravery, they're called to honor God,

283
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,760
spared a nation and it delivered the deliverer, right?

284
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,520
So I just feel like we have to understand in this moment, there's a deliverance anointing

285
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,240
on the midwives for America right now.

286
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,400
And we have to understand that we are called to birth and move of God.

287
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,000
And in this birthing, there's going to be a deliverance of bondage over the nation of

288
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,000
America.

289
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,600
You know, that's so good for a couple of different reasons.

290
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,560
I think we all, Christ have been at places in our walk where we feel like something was

291
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,560
aborted.

292
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,760
Like there was a dream we were given, there was an opportunity we were given.

293
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,520
We begin to step out and feel some, I'm going to use the word again, momentum in the area

294
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,720
of some ministry, whatever it may be.

295
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,240
But then we feel like we get hit, something happens.

296
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,240
And throughout life, people get coaches.

297
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,680
They get coaches when they work out.

298
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,080
They get coaches in terms of tutors when they're maybe in their school or whatever it is, a

299
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,520
skill you want to acquire.

300
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,680
So I love that fact that you're saying in this season, you, we need to help midwife

301
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,960
the callings and giftings in people.

302
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:24,960
Yes.

303
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:25,960
That's the overall purpose of God.

304
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,200
And then one other point you made that I really thought about in Acts seven, nineteen, there

305
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,600
is a retelling of what was the strategy of Pharaoh.

306
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,560
And it said, now this is New Testament now.

307
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:43,200
And obviously where Christ is quoting from goes back to Exodus.

308
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,800
And so it says in Acts 17, it spoke of Pharaoh.

309
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,800
It says, it was Pharaoh who dealt truly and took advantage of our nation and mistreated

310
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:57,360
our fathers and exposed them in order that they might abandon their infants in the Nile

311
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,400
so that they would not survive.

312
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:06,440
So Pharaoh's strategy was to expose the fathers in a way that they would abandon their kids

313
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,640
and there would be a fatherless generation, one, and there would be a boarding of that

314
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,080
next generation.

315
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,360
And so I agree with you right now.

316
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:16,680
I think part of that midwife anointing, it's seen in so many different ways.

317
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,920
That is such a great, great point.

318
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,720
And you know what I love is I find it incredibly encouraging because these two women who were

319
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,800
barren and in the natural really didn't have a lot to give.

320
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,360
They were actually put in this position because they lacked, right?

321
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:37,400
So God used these two women that quote, quote, lacked in the natural and they were used to

322
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,400
bring deliverance.

323
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,240
And if you keep reading the story because they honored God, God gave them their own

324
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,440
family and they were no longer barren.

325
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,160
And I think you can apply that to your life in the natural and you can apply that to your

326
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,800
life in the spiritual.

327
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,680
And I simply want you to understand that, you know, you might feel like you don't have

328
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,680
anything.

329
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,800
You're like, what do I have in my hand?

330
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:56,960
All I see is the lack.

331
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,720
I want you to know God doesn't see the lack.

332
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,320
He actually is just looking for your yes.

333
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,400
If you're just obedient to God, love God, give your life to God, he's going to make what's

334
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:12,160
barren or what feels not fruitful or the place that feels like the place of nothing.

335
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,440
He's going to make it something.

336
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,000
He's going to make it that place of breakthrough.

337
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,400
He's actually going to make it that place that is fruitful for you.

338
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,800
And so I just, I want you guys to understand that God sees our lives different than how

339
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:23,800
we see him.

340
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,480
He sees us sometimes different.

341
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,800
I hope, you know, we have a full, you know, ability to see how God sees us, but I don't

342
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,640
know if we're really able to see fully how God sees us.

343
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,880
God sees us as fully capable, you know, and fully able to partner with him.

344
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,400
He is not concerned about what we don't have in the natural because whatever we need, he

345
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,720
will give it to us.

346
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,720
And I just love that.

347
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,720
I love that these women walked in what seemed like nothing and they walked out with everything

348
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,720
their heart desired.

349
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,880
And I just think all because they just said, you know what, we're just honoring God.

350
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,000
We're just going to honor God.

351
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,160
And so our lives are truly just about positioning ourselves from a place of obedience and honoring

352
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,160
God.

353
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,840
And I think there was even some Bible scholars and they did, they ran the numbers on it,

354
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:11,440
but these two women basically it affected other women who also courageously stood up

355
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,480
to protect these Hebrew babies.

356
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:21,320
And it's easy to say that when you influence that generation, save them.

357
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,640
It could very easily be talking about, we're talking about millions of people in a generation

358
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,440
were spared because of the sets.

359
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,440
So profound.

360
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,120
You know, another thing you hit on on the conference, Chris, I think it was.

361
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:33,240
So profound.

362
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,280
And I even want you to break it out, but it had to do with men and a strategy of the enemy

363
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,280
in this hour.

364
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,280
Go ahead.

365
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,280
Why don't you share that?

366
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,000
Well, I don't know if people have heard me talk about this before.

367
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,280
I'll simply kind of give a little bit of a backdrop from where this is coming from.

368
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,760
You know, we're in a moment where esters are arising.

369
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,960
We're seeing women of God be raised up like never before.

370
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:58,320
We're seeing God really promote women in this hour and it is absolutely God.

371
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,320
It's exciting.

372
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,320
I love it.

373
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,440
And I am just cheering on every woman that's getting released right now, but then the Lord

374
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:11,080
began to speak to me about Mordecais that Mordecais are equally as important as esters

375
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,680
that actually Esther wouldn't have been Esther had Mordecai not come to her and come to,

376
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,000
yes, come to her without his prompting.

377
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,120
She would not have stepped into the assignment of God in her life and would not have spared

378
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:28,240
a nation because we got to remember that when Mordecai sent word to her, she actually sent

379
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,480
an argument back of the King hasn't called me.

380
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,240
He hasn't asked for me in 30 days.

381
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,920
If I go before him, he can kill me.

382
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,520
And then that's when that famous passage where Mordecai response says, if you think you're

383
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,920
going to stay in the palace, sweetie, and you're going to be unharmed, this is a Christa paraphrase,

384
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,520
if you're going to be unharmed, you're kidding yourself.

385
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,040
Not only are you going to be killed, God's actually just going to go ahead and raise someone

386
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,600
else up then to be the deliverer of a nation.

387
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,960
She hears that and she hears the truth and the spirit of God on it.

388
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,800
And that's when she says, okay, fast and pray for three days as my maids and I will, and

389
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,400
I will go before the King.

390
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,040
And if I perish, I perish.

391
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,800
So that's that famous scripture that we know because Mordecai say maybe you were born for

392
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,960
such a time as this.

393
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,960
So this is really powerful.

394
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:18,360
So I say all that to say, as esters are arising in this hour and God is truly releasing women,

395
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:23,120
he's releasing men and for the Mordecais to step into position, for the esters to step

396
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:27,800
in position, but then the Lord spoke something to me in 2024 and he said this, I'm raising

397
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,960
up voices in this hour to break the agenda to emasculate men in our society.

398
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,360
I'm going to say that again.

399
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:35,360
So you really catch it.

400
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:40,240
I felt like I heard the Lord say, I'm raising up voices in this hour to break the demonic

401
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,800
agenda that emasculates men in our society.

402
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,800
So I want you to understand what is emasculation.

403
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:47,800
We hear that word.

404
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,080
Some of you may not understand that definition and it's simplest sense.

405
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,160
It refers to the act of belittling, demeaning or undermining a man's masculinity.

406
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:02,840
It can manifest as disrespecting a man's abilities, questioning his comp competency, ridiculing

407
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,760
his emotions or reducing his worth.

408
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:12,520
And you know, if we really begin to look at our society, many movies, sitcoms, narratives,

409
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,960
films, music is very demeaning to men.

410
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:22,720
It's very emasculating to men to the point where I see as kind of when I felt like the

411
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,440
Lord opened my eyes, it was interesting how the Lord will just begin to make you aware

412
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,080
of you have seen things, but all of a sudden you see it, see it, and that's what began

413
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,080
to happen.

414
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,720
The Lord began to speak that to me and then I kept running across stuff and I actually

415
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,720
ran across an interview.

416
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,040
Isn't this interesting?

417
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,440
And it was on a social media platform and it was asking women that are probably more

418
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,680
Gen Z, more college age.

419
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,440
And they're like, what's the value of men and society?

420
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,840
And every young woman, now the granted, this is just, this was just a random poll and I

421
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,520
don't even know how it popped up on my phone.

422
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,040
But I thought, well, this is interesting, right?

423
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,720
Because God's already speaking to me and I'm like, what are their answers going to be?

424
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,440
Like, where's this going?

425
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,200
And every girl goes, I can't think of one reason why we need men.

426
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,720
And then the host, like girl was laughing and then I think a guy was there interviewing

427
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:08,720
to me.

428
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,720
He's like, wait, what?

429
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,880
And she's like, I can't think of, I can't think of one reason.

430
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,000
Like, what do men add?

431
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,040
Like what can men do?

432
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,040
How can they add?

433
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,640
She's like, they just create problems.

434
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:22,440
And then it was in that vein that every other woman, young woman began to answer in that

435
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,440
same thing.

436
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,440
Like there was no value.

437
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,920
Like no one could think of a reason why we needed men.

438
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,520
And I thought, have they not met amazing men?

439
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,920
Like have they not?

440
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,360
What's their encounter been?

441
00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:35,160
But they have been fed a doctrine, right?

442
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:41,040
They have been fed an agenda that has now become a truth for a generation where they

443
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,640
don't understand the value of men in our society.

444
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,520
And I've seen it creep into the church.

445
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:51,240
And here's what I felt like is really important as women are arising, which is absolutely

446
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,600
biblical and it's God and it's good.

447
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,960
But as women arise, that is not pushing men down.

448
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,800
It's actually when we are walking in kingdom and men and women together, everyone should

449
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,120
be thriving, right?

450
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:07,880
So women should be in their fullness of who they are unapologetically and women should

451
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,920
be able to be strong and powerful and anointed and clear on who they are.

452
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,920
Like come on, Deborah as an Esther is like, know who you are.

453
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,240
And men equally should be strong and powerful and know who they are unapologetically.

454
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,960
And there shouldn't be a shame in either gender walking in our fullness.

455
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,200
And I feel like there's been a shame over men.

456
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,160
And I felt like God wanted to break the shame off of men in our society.

457
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:39,240
And I think us as women, as we're arising, that might feel like an unusual and even unexpected

458
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:44,640
thing to address as a woman, because I think a lot of people view our society as favorable

459
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,640
toward men.

460
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,600
And I think historically that's probably true.

461
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:53,840
I think it has been a masculine focused culture and there has been toxic things connected

462
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:54,840
with that.

463
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:55,920
There has been dysfunction.

464
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:01,560
But I think there's an opportunity here to actually restore it, restore who we are in

465
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,840
God and the fullness.

466
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,840
And I think we cannot expect society to restore something the church has not established.

467
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:13,600
I think this is an invitation in this hour for the church to establish the value of men

468
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:18,200
and women not in competition and not in comparison with one another.

469
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:24,360
But in the fullness of who God created us to be together side by side, if we're actually

470
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:28,720
going to establish the Esther company, we have to establish the Mordecai's.

471
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,880
Like one doesn't exist without the other.

472
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,440
You have to have both.

473
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,840
And so I feel like the Lord is putting this on people's hearts right now.

474
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,520
And I haven't really heard anyone talk about this, but I feel like it's going to become

475
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,520
a conversation.

476
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,520
Yes.

477
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,200
And I feel like I have to bring it forth.

478
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,880
Like we have to break the semasculation of men in the society.

479
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,160
And what's interesting, and you were there, of course, and my conference, I'm a mentor,

480
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,440
my closed it out the conference.

481
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,640
And I had men that resonated with this.

482
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,520
This felt like this minister, like hit them personally.

483
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,720
I had them stand.

484
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,240
And there was many men that stood.

485
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,440
And there were.

486
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,400
And there was healing and deliverance that happened where we're able to break off that

487
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,880
shame and that undermining and that devalue.

488
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:18,160
Because I'm not okay if the full bride isn't in the God identity they were created to be

489
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,160
in.

490
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,760
If only half the church is walking in our fullness and the other half is in.

491
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,760
And that goes both ways.

492
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,400
The women of God up until this point haven't really been in our fullness.

493
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,960
So we're now stepping into that.

494
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,520
But as we step into that, I just feel like we got to make sure there's not this shame

495
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,680
still stuck on men.

496
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,120
Like there's all of us kind of going to this new place of freedom.

497
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:39,680
That's what's available right now in the body of Christ.

498
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,680
You know, I think you're absolutely right on that.

499
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,040
And I haven't heard anyone speak on that as well.

500
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:49,640
And you know, it's funny as I think is maybe in one aspect of it as strategic, maybe as

501
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,480
some people perceive, for instance, let's say the Barbie movie in that sense, that it

502
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,720
was kind of like a woman empowerment.

503
00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:01,080
But there were overtures and this kind of undercurrent of like anti-can, you know, it's

504
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,840
like under the actor Ryan Gosling, you know, even saying a song in there.

505
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,400
And I think it really does as well as the interviews you were talking about.

506
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,840
I think there really is that.

507
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,640
And at the end of the day, what we have to come to is to understand it's got to be kingdom.

508
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,720
What does the Bible say?

509
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,680
What does the word of God say?

510
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,720
And there is this place of honor and there has to be an honor and has to go both ways.

511
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,760
And if it doesn't go both ways and it just goes one way, then it ceases to be kingdom,

512
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:30,760
ceases to be blessed.

513
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,960
It will not get off the ground.

514
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,000
It will not build unless the Lord builds the house in labor and vein.

515
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,960
The Lord, if you're not building your life, your future, your value system, what we pour

516
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,040
into the next generation, there are people out there, you got kids, you're raising up

517
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,240
little girls, you're raising up little boys.

518
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,200
What do you want them to catch from you?

519
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,360
And if they catch a disrespect for a gender, a man hating.

520
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:58,080
And obviously, like you said, it's been a good old boy, good old boy club for too long.

521
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,880
And his grievance, we've been talking to a girl that is in a major movement and she

522
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,400
was just saying that basically women in the movement she's at aren't able to speak and

523
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,000
just look down upon it.

524
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,440
And it was like, it was like, get out, get out.

525
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,080
She had a call like, get out.

526
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,480
And I feel like it's so cool that we have seen conferences for while there was just all men.

527
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,680
Now we're beginning to see women.

528
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,800
And now even women are speaking to men more and more and more.

529
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,280
But like you said, there was that man hating spirit because you brought out a good point

530
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:34,200
too that the early feminist manifesto, one of their goals in view, their in game was

531
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,280
emasculation of man.

532
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,000
And that's totally what happened.

533
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Any males that got around Jezebel, she made them in the Unix.

534
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,000
And that's why Jehu said to the Unix, throw Jezebel out the window.

535
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,960
In other words, she, this spirit has emasculated you.

536
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,440
This is your chance to cast that down.

537
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,240
So I think that's so profound.

538
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,760
You know, it was interesting is that I was, I was studying this and we're preparing for

539
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,080
my session at Momentum.

540
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:06,360
I found it interesting statistic and I felt like the Lord spoke to me and you people couldn't

541
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,680
agree or disagree with me.

542
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:08,680
I'm fine with that.

543
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,000
I just, I'm just simply sharing a, it's very subjective, but this is what I felt like the

544
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:19,040
Lord said, you know, right now in history, historically, men historically have the lowest

545
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,880
levels of testosterone that they've ever had.

546
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,640
And the medical community has no explanation right now.

547
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:31,400
Right now, historically, they're saying 20 something year old men have the testosterone

548
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,640
levels of a 60 something year old man.

549
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,640
Wow.

550
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,680
And so there's been a massive decrease of this hormone.

551
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,120
And I think, and so I began to pray into that because I was like, the medical community

552
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,520
cannot explain it.

553
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,520
Hmm.

554
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,800
I'm going to follow that trail spiritually.

555
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,640
Jesus, what do you say about that?

556
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,200
We have a, we have a physical symptom with no explanation.

557
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,080
It's the lowest to spend historically.

558
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,440
We have 20 something year old men that have the testosterone of 60 something year old

559
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,440
men.

560
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,440
They have never seen this historically.

561
00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,960
They have no explanation why.

562
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:04,520
And I heard the Lord say because of the spirit of emasculation that has gone after men that

563
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,640
this is a physical symptom of a spiritual problem.

564
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,640
Wow.

565
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,640
Hey, y'all, we do call this, keep your 100.

566
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,800
How many of you know right now we're keeping it 100?

567
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Yeah.

568
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:20,160
And I, I felt like that is a physical symptom of a spiritual issue that when the church breaks

569
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,720
this over men and breaks this in our nation, that's when testosterone levels, I would love

570
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,720
to see, right?

571
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,440
If you break it, I'd love to see those.

572
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,920
What if they just begin to rise?

573
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:35,520
Like there would be a physical symptom, a measurable symptom where they're like, we don't know why

574
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,640
they were down, but now they're back up because the church goes after demonic spirit that's

575
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:46,520
trying to actually hold men down because testosterone is a key reproductive hormone.

576
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,200
So fertility rates are at an all time low in addition to that.

577
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:56,400
So if you have all time low fertility rates and you're having a harder time reproducing,

578
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,400
yeah, follow that trail spiritually.

579
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,760
I think there's a demonic agenda on that and people may agree or disagree with me.

580
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:04,760
That's fine.

581
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,240
But when I took it to prayer, that's what I heard.

582
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,600
And I just thought, okay, I want to see the body of Christ thrive.

583
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,800
And I think there's an invitation to go after something that is holding half the body of

584
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,200
Christ down and back, you know?

585
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,600
And I think you brought up a great point.

586
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,480
I want the next generation of young men to go, oh man, women are amazing, powerful, anointed,

587
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,480
strong.

588
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,260
I want the next generation of young women to go, men are amazing, powerful and strong.

589
00:31:30,260 --> 00:31:34,040
And there's this healthy expectation of who we're called to be.

590
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,280
That's what I want to model.

591
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,840
I don't want to model anyone being suppressed or dominated.

592
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,280
I want us to walk as God has called us to walk.

593
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,080
You know, it's funny because, you know, this generation, they want family, but if you're

594
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,760
being interviewed and you're going, what good is meant for?

595
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,360
Like it's almost a contradiction.

596
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,400
Like how are you going to have family, have kids and you have no respect for male and

597
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,880
you don't see the value of it?

598
00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:01,200
So it's an indirect, not only attack on men, it's an attack on the family.

599
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,760
That is just so profound.

600
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,960
Hey, Christa, you know, another thing that you spoke of at the conference that was really

601
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,880
profound is you, you kind of talked about the spirit of betrayal.

602
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:17,120
And I was immediately thinking about a Judas, you know, we talk about a Jesus people movement.

603
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,520
Well, when the original Jesus people move, and I'm not talking about the hippies, I'm

604
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:25,720
talking about when Jesus walked the earth, what rose up against his movement was betrayal,

605
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:26,720
you know, Judas.

606
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,680
And so talk to us about, you were seeing this thing about this year, about the spirit of

607
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:31,680
betrayal.

608
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:32,680
Yeah.

609
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,000
I heard the Lord say, as I was just waiting on him for like, Lord, what do you declare

610
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,000
in over 2024?

611
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,640
And I heard the Lord say, the enemy has unleashed a spirit of betrayal in the land.

612
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,120
This is the hour of the Judices.

613
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,680
And I know that's a bit heavy.

614
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:49,080
And I know I've probably sounded lightweight negative on the things that I've heard.

615
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,320
If you go back to our previous podcast episode, I have a lot of really positive things that

616
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,320
I say.

617
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,320
So this is a bit of a part two.

618
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,400
This is probably a little heavier.

619
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,040
But I think it's important that we talk about the positive, but this is also sometimes when

620
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,640
we call out, maybe what we've reviewed is more negative.

621
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,720
I don't really view it as negative.

622
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,160
I view it as strategy.

623
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,560
And so consider the strategy.

624
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,120
So in second, Timothy three versus one through five, I'm going to read this because I want

625
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,120
you to catch this.

626
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,760
It says, you should know this, Timothy, that in the last days, there will be very difficult

627
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,360
times for people will love, love only themselves and their money.

628
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,320
They will be boastful, proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents and ungrateful.

629
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,960
They will consider nothing sacred.

630
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,880
They will be unloving, unforgiving.

631
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,480
They will slander others and have no self control.

632
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,040
They will be cruel and hate what is good.

633
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,040
Catch this.

634
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,800
They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, love, pleasure rather

635
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:43,800
than God.

636
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,080
They will act religious.

637
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,640
Oh my goodness.

638
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:51,040
But they will reject the power that could make them godly, stay away from people like

639
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,040
that.

640
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,920
So verse four, we read it says they will betray their friends.

641
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,560
And the Lord highlighted this like it jumped off the page.

642
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,400
He said, you know, go to second Timothy.

643
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,400
I went to that.

644
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,720
I read this and it just like jumped off the page.

645
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,360
They will betray their friends and that's when the Lord says a spirit of betrayal has

646
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,200
been unleashed in the land.

647
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:13,640
It's the hour of the Judas is and I felt like the Lord said in the season, we must be diligent

648
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,840
about whom we allow into our lives, not from a place of fear or not from a place of elite

649
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:25,680
ism, but from a place of wisdom and that the Lord is really telling us to really guard our

650
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:32,240
peace and to guard whom we allow to speak into our life and whom we share our heart with,

651
00:34:32,240 --> 00:34:37,280
whom we really allow to influence our life.

652
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,880
And I felt like the Lord says, I will give you wisdom and discernment, but I spoke, I

653
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,480
shared this last week in the podcast episode, so listen to it if you didn't, but that this

654
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,120
year, your, your courage is going to be called upon.

655
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,280
There's going to be demanding your courage and this is where some of the courage is going

656
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,600
to be required.

657
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,480
There are some relationships that are going to have to be adjusted into your life.

658
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,760
Some of them may have to be fully like cut out and I don't love saying that, but I think

659
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,840
there just has to be some of you really hear this for what it is.

660
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,240
There is going to be just God's like, if you're going to go where I'm asking you to go, that

661
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:14,720
toxic relationship, that relationship that pulls you into compromise or calls you in,

662
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:18,880
like there's an appeal of sin in that relationship or friendship.

663
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,840
I'm God's like, you've got to lay that down.

664
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,840
You have to lay down the things that are pulling you away from the Lord.

665
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,320
But here's the thing about the Judas.

666
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,880
Judas was, he was at all the sermons.

667
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,520
He saw the miracles.

668
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,080
He was in the presence of God.

669
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,040
He shared meals with Jesus and he remained untransformed.

670
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,560
And there's people, cause obviously we just read in 2 Timothy, this was not talking to

671
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:40,560
unbelievers.

672
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,960
This was talking about believers.

673
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:47,000
So that's very like, that makes you go, whoa, Jesus, is there anything in me?

674
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,000
I don't know.

675
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,000
That's what it makes me do.

676
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,440
It makes me go, oh my goodness, Jesus, check me.

677
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,000
You know, if there's anything that is in me that opposes you, Jesus, you have full permission

678
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,920
to uproot that out of me.

679
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,560
But I think we have to understand that as, you know, this letter is being written to

680
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:07,120
Timothy and he's reading this and he's challenged to actually go, wow, there's people that I

681
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:12,640
do life with in the church that are actually completely remaining untransformed.

682
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,520
They love maybe the merch.

683
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:15,640
They love singing the songs.

684
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,680
They love being at all the events, but their hearts are not close to God.

685
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,320
And I think you can be in acquaintance with about anyone, right?

686
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,160
But I'm talking about the people whom you really run after God with and the people whom you

687
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,640
really do life with.

688
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,240
They have to be people that are going after God.

689
00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:36,520
And I think we have to be really honest about who those people are because I feel like the

690
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,280
Lord's is inviting us to go to that delivery room, that midwife room, right?

691
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,600
Not everyone's going to get in there.

692
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,000
And again, that can sound really elite.

693
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,800
And I'm not trying to make anything elite.

694
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:52,640
I think there's, I think if anyone comes fully consecrated to God and comes like in repentance,

695
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,840
even if they're walking in things that aren't great, God's going to let you in.

696
00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:00,520
It's just, it's a matter of like having a soft heart, a tender heart, a heart that's

697
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,160
being willing to be moldable and teachable before the Lord.

698
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,360
That's what God's looking for, right?

699
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,520
Because David is a great example of that.

700
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:07,520
David wasn't perfect.

701
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:08,520
David messed up.

702
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,280
But what I love is David was always referred to as a man after my own heart because it

703
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,760
wasn't that he was perfect because he was repentant and he was tender to other things

704
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,760
of God.

705
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:17,760
So there is that on ramp.

706
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,480
I do want to qualify that and bring balance to what I'm saying.

707
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,600
But at the same time, I feel like we have to use discernment and you have to be honest

708
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,600
in this season.

709
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:27,600
I love what you're sharing.

710
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,320
And I think, you know, when you're talking about, you have to use discernment.

711
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,680
I think one of the things that I immediately came to mind as you were saying that is, you

712
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:39,360
know, I would often counsel, you know, singles as it relates to getting married and we would

713
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,720
say, particularly the young ladies, we go, if the dude isn't faithful to Jesus, he isn't

714
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:44,720
going to be faithful to you.

715
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:49,000
In other words, if he would betray Jesus, he's going to betray you.

716
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,000
And then I think another thing, you know, just in discernment, you would discern that

717
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:57,240
because how faithful is a person to Jesus, if they would betray their faith for popularity,

718
00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:00,840
they would betray their faith because the heat is on, they would betray their faith

719
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,600
because they could run with a group or get a raise or you go on and on and on.

720
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,760
They're going to betray you in terms of you getting a relationship.

721
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,720
But the other thing is people that betray confidences, you know, if you see someone putting

722
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:16,840
somebody else's business out there, as we used to say, putting it out in the streets,

723
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,880
you got to know they're going to do that to you too.

724
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:24,840
So I totally, totally am hearing and just going, wow, I absolutely feel like there's

725
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:25,840
something on that.

726
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:26,840
Oh, that's good.

727
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,360
I'm so glad you added that.

728
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,360
That's so good.

729
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,560
You know, and then I, as I was spending time with God about this, I felt like God even

730
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,800
kind of flipped the script though.

731
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,960
So there's that, the Judas is, and then I felt like the Lord says, but don't you become

732
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:37,960
a Judas?

733
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:38,960
Right?

734
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,520
Cause you can hear this word and think, oh, who's going to betray me?

735
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,960
Or you're kind of like, but then it's like, well, we could be the betrayer.

736
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,120
Let's be honest about that.

737
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:47,120
Right?

738
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,840
Like, did Judas know that was in him?

739
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,840
Probably not.

740
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,840
Like, right?

741
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:51,840
You don't quite know.

742
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:52,920
Sometimes you're deceived.

743
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,080
That's why it's called deception.

744
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,200
And you don't know necessarily sometimes what's in you and tell you don't get your way or

745
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,320
you don't get what you want, which was Judas.

746
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:07,040
He had an agenda and his agenda became more important than Jesus and he then ended up

747
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,820
a train because his agenda was more important.

748
00:39:09,820 --> 00:39:13,680
So I felt like the Lord says, be diligent in keeping your heart pure and keeping your

749
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,720
heart clean and keeping your heart unaffended.

750
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:18,800
Because if you look at the model of Judas, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's

751
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,400
he got offended and he got judgmental.

752
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,840
He got accusatory and then he took matters into his own hands and then he made a whole

753
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,160
mess of things.

754
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,040
And so he ended up betraying, betraying the one that was loyal to him, the one that could

755
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,080
have healed him, the one that could have set him free.

756
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,360
He's actually the one that led Jesus to the cross.

757
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,640
And so I felt like it's, it goes two ways.

758
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:45,400
It's like there has been a spirit of betrayal unleashed and this is the hour of the Judas.

759
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:50,080
That means be aware of people not being truthful to you or having a good agenda towards you

760
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,360
or having a good motive to you, but then are you that person?

761
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,800
Are you the one that could betray?

762
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,640
And I felt like this was really important when it comes to covenant relationships because

763
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,200
the enemy hates covenant relationships.

764
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,400
And what did Judas do?

765
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,880
He betrayed a covenant relationship.

766
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:12,200
And I felt like in the area of people's marriages, even the areas of spiritual relationships,

767
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:17,000
you know, spiritual moms and dads or spiritual family or people that you have been really

768
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,080
called to serve or work with or come alongside.

769
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,680
If you're not careful in the season, you could become offended and the people you were called

770
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,720
to serve, you now betray.

771
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:27,800
And God is saying, keep your heart clean.

772
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:34,600
Do not take the bait of the enemy of offense or accusation or self selfish ambition.

773
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,760
But if you keep your heart pure before me, you will not only guard, but you will actually

774
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,760
deepen your covenant relationships.

775
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:42,880
Oh, that's so good.

776
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,200
I think that antidote to betrayal is be loyal.

777
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,520
Yeah, that's good.

778
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,960
Like if you're really focusing on, I'm going to be loyal to Jesus.

779
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,960
I'm going to be loyal to his word written scripture.

780
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,560
I'm going to be loyal to the house of God.

781
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,440
I'm going to be loyal to my, my friends.

782
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,720
I'm going to be loyal to my family members.

783
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:07,280
I think when you put that out there and that becomes your end game, then I think you punch

784
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,720
betrayal in the mouth.

785
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:15,040
I love what you're saying that people do get offended before they betray because it justifies

786
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,040
the betrayal.

787
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,120
I'll breach loyalty because I'm, I'm upset.

788
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,120
I'm mad.

789
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,120
I'm hurt.

790
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:22,560
And I could just see where that thing continually spirals.

791
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:27,640
And before you know it, you got this pride in the fact that you're betraying and really

792
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,480
it's just narcissism is what it is at the end of the day.

793
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,480
You know, I'll end with this of just what I want to share with all of you of what I

794
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,680
heard the Lord say.

795
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,160
And I just want to declare this over you.

796
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,920
If you're a listener and you're just taking time, just if you're able, like just getting

797
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,920
a quiet place or close your eyes and just receive this because I just believe as I declare

798
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,000
over you, it's just something I got prophetically and I just want you to hear this for your

799
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,000
heart.

800
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,680
I heard the Lord say 2024 is the year of knowing my name.

801
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,160
I am Jehovah Jireh, your provider.

802
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:58,320
I am your healer.

803
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,320
I'm your restore.

804
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,640
I'm the mender of the broken things.

805
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,440
I am the God who sees you.

806
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,560
You can never escape my gaze.

807
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,920
This is the time to tuck away into my presence.

808
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,320
I'm your anchor.

809
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:10,920
I am your anchor.

810
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:11,920
Nothing else.

811
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,040
I am your safe place.

812
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,040
No one else.

813
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,200
I am your sounding board, the giver of wisdom and counsel.

814
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,520
Wait upon my spirit to guide you.

815
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,520
I will not lead you astray.

816
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:25,160
This is the year of total dependence, trusting me beyond your current capacity.

817
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,360
This is the year you'll step beyond the disappointment and you'll thrive.

818
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,160
This is the year of experiencing me in new ways.

819
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,560
I've built you differently for exactly this time.

820
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:39,360
This is the year of imagination and dreaming, a year of reconnecting and reigning.

821
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,760
This is the year of turning a new page, starting fresh, starting new.

822
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:47,560
This is the year of taking off the grieving clothes and finding fresh purpose and vision.

823
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,360
This is the year of momentum.

824
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:50,360
I love that.

825
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:51,360
I think that's so profound.

826
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:56,800
And I think one of the things that becomes, I think just the walk away of it all is just

827
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,840
to stay Jesus focused, focus.

828
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:04,080
The Bible talks about in Philippians 4, whatever is on or is just, lovely, good reputed in

829
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,160
the excellence, anything where they're placed, let your mind dwell on these things.
