00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,200
Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Keep It 100
9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,960
with Sean and Christa Smith.
10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,520
Hey, what's going on everybody?
11
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,560
It is great to be with you guys for another episode.
12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,400
We're excited.
13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,960
Yeah, you know, we're coming at you straight from Scotland.
14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,240
We have a little bit of jet lag
15
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,880
and hopefully a whole lot of anointing
16
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,040
and we've just had an incredible trip
17
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,600
and we're gonna tell you about that probably more
18
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,520
in our next episode.
19
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,160
This episode, we really wanna focus on the PMC,
20
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,760
but I do have to say Scotland was incredible.
21
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,120
I love the nation of Scotland
22
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,880
and God just did incredible things there.
23
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,720
We were so honored to be there with Emma and David Stark
24
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,360
and their team with the Global Prophetic Alliance.
25
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,520
They call it that ministry.
26
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,400
And so it was amazing.
27
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,360
But right before we went to Scotland,
28
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,440
we had our second prophetic masterclass,
29
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,400
but this time it was the East Coast.
30
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,760
And you know, you and I agreed,
31
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,000
it was probably our favorite masterclass
32
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,360
that we've hosted to date.
33
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,200
It was.
34
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,120
From the opening worship session,
35
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,880
which was just off the chart.
36
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:15,720
It was incredible.
37
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,880
All the way to the closing activation.
38
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,640
It was just one glorious blur of just God
39
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,640
kissing this masterclass.
40
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,240
So many great praise reports that we heard.
41
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,720
We were really excited as we were in the DC area
42
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,040
and we were really excited to be there.
43
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,800
And that I believe are very strategic region
44
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,960
and equip believers in the prophetic.
45
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:37,720
And we have some great testimonies too.
46
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:38,920
You know, we really do.
47
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,920
And you know, what I love is when people experience
48
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,400
the prophetic, it's life changing.
49
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,800
It's been life changing for me.
50
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,560
It's been life changing for Sean.
51
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,040
And that's one of the reasons why we're so passionate
52
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,320
about the prophetic ministry
53
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,640
and having a pure, incredible prophetic ministry
54
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,080
for people to walk in that
55
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,960
because it's been so life changing for us.
56
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,480
So when we share these testimonies, it's exciting
57
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,960
because people's lives are impacted, changed,
58
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,040
never the same.
59
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:02,880
You know, probably one of the,
60
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,040
my favorite testimonies that we've received so far
61
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,840
was actually from a prophetic word that Sean released.
62
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,520
He called that a mother and he started prophesying to her
63
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,120
and he specifically went into a word about her daughter,
64
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,160
not even knowing her daughter was there.
65
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,080
And come to find out after the fact, you know,
66
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:17,920
that's what I love.
67
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,520
We know in part we prophesied in part.
68
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,880
Sean's prophesying like destiny and purpose over the daughter
69
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,680
and really just giving such a word of encouragement
70
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,320
over her daughter and like that God has them
71
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,000
that she he's heard her prayers
72
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,880
and just really giving a word of hope
73
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,280
and breakthrough and promise and destiny over the daughter.
74
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,560
And the mom's like weeping.
75
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,600
I mean, she's just like undone by the word.
76
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,440
And after the fact, we learned that her daughter
77
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,440
had gone through some really traumatic events
78
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,000
and really difficult situation
79
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,760
and found herself in a very emotionally vulnerable
80
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,840
and fragile place.
81
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,000
And that word, the daughter sitting there
82
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,800
hearing the word about herself.
83
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,640
Sean didn't even know she was in the room.
84
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:56,160
That's just like the coolest, right?
85
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,520
When he started releasing the word
86
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,360
and the daughter gets massively impacted.
87
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,000
The mom gets massively impacted
88
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,560
and the daughter is like doing so good
89
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,760
and experienced God and like, they just feel like
90
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,640
that was like, you know, it turned the corner for them.
91
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:10,720
And that to me is what the prophetic ministry is all about.
92
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,920
The prophetic ministry carries an atmosphere of breakthrough.
93
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:17,080
It carries an atmosphere of transformation.
94
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,120
It carries an atmosphere of the hope
95
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,120
and the love and the compassion of Jesus.
96
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,840
And that is what we saw.
97
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,280
We witnessed that firsthand.
98
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,360
So that was probably one of my favorite testimonies
99
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,120
and that was one of many that we've been receiving in.
100
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,200
And typically what we do during our prophetic masterclass
101
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,840
and that was a phenomenal testimony.
102
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,200
So encouraging is that we have the Holy Spirit
103
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,600
after party is what we call it.
104
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,680
But simply after the first couple of sessions
105
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,040
of teaching on the opening night,
106
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,040
we pray for deliverance, we pray for healing,
107
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,520
we pray if any of these things are needed,
108
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,640
we pray for people, particularly for the baptism
109
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,480
of the Holy Ghost.
110
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,120
So we flowed in the prophetic that night,
111
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,120
you and I and Julian.
112
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,240
And I believe that was one of the nights
113
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,760
that some of these prophetic words landed with people
114
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,600
that really blessed him.
115
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,560
But it was such a blessing to see probably a couple dozen
116
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,920
people baptized in the Holy Ghost for the first time.
117
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:02,760
It was so awesome.
118
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,720
And when you do that, you know that there change
119
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,320
more than just on the ministry level
120
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,240
of being in a position where they're hearing the voice
121
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,520
of God because when you baptize in the Holy Ghost
122
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,000
and you pray in the Holy Spirit,
123
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,080
it will help you attune your spirit to God's spirit.
124
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,000
But also the empowerment and that encounter level
125
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
will open up a greater witness through them.
126
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,800
So we're super excited to see that.
127
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,520
And then we heard a number of people in terms of testimony
128
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,280
that they heard the voice of God for the first time
129
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:33,360
for someone else or they began to identify with clarity
130
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,200
and confidence, the ability to receive the thoughts of God,
131
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,520
receive the emotion and heart of God for someone else
132
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,080
and share those prophetic words.
133
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,600
And in all the activation series,
134
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,720
we had a number of them.
135
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,680
So many people were prophesying over one another
136
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,960
and you could just see.
137
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,200
And even as we asked for the results,
138
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,120
so many people were encouraged by the words
139
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:52,960
someone else gave them.
140
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,120
And so those were a couple of things that stood out for me.
141
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,600
What else stood out for you?
142
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,120
You know, one of my favorites was,
143
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,280
and I love what you just shared,
144
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:00,360
because it's like, it's so true.
145
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,960
It's like seeing people receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit,
146
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,560
game changer, you know, it's just, it's amazing.
147
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,840
And they were so excited.
148
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:08,480
There were so many people we were praying for.
149
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,000
And I love watching that.
150
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
And they were just like, they were bawling, you know,
151
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,520
they were just like so touched that this was happening.
152
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,960
And one woman, remember, she hadn't ever received it.
153
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,840
She'd been praying for like 10, 15 years.
154
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:20,440
She's like, I don't know if I'm ever gonna get it.
155
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,280
I was like, you know what?
156
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:22,120
Tonight's your night.
157
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:22,960
I just have faith for it.
158
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,680
I was like, let's merge our faiths together.
159
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,520
Let's believe for it.
160
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,920
And you actually came and prayed for her
161
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,240
and she got it immediately.
162
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,880
And she was undone because she's been believing
163
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,040
and wanting it for so long.
164
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,920
So that was just so awesome.
165
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,800
But you know, Pastor Mark Lehman,
166
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,880
who's over Cornerstone, he, they're the ones that hosted us.
167
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,800
And that was just like so generous and amazing.
168
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,720
What a great church.
169
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,680
But he actually gave us an amazing testimony.
170
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,440
He said, multiple senior leaders
171
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,480
from the local area of Bowie, Maryland,
172
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,480
the Maryland area came and they were open to the prophetic.
173
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,760
They of course, wanted to learn.
174
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,880
They were there, they were present,
175
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,920
but they also had questions.
176
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,240
They also had some concerns about the prophetic ministry,
177
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,520
but like one, they were open, you know,
178
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,720
open enough to come to a two day masterclass,
179
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,680
which I was really impressed with that alone.
180
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,080
And they came and they said every question they had,
181
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,720
every concern was answered.
182
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,760
That to me was so encouraging
183
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,240
because these pastors walked away feeling empowered,
184
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,440
encouraged, but also equipped to actually raise up
185
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,880
a prophetic ministry in their church
186
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,760
and feeling excited about the gift of the prophetic ministry
187
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,800
and what it could actually add to their congregation.
188
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,280
They were no longer afraid.
189
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:24,280
And I think that's one of the things
190
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:26,080
you and I are really passionate about
191
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,200
is people not being afraid.
192
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,600
We demystify the prophetic ministry
193
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,240
because it's such a powerful tool.
194
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,600
When it is done right and it's done as the intention
195
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,960
that God's intended it to do in the local church,
196
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,240
it can be one of the greatest assets and blessings
197
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,640
of a church culture.
198
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,400
And I think they really caught that.
199
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,240
And that to me was just such an encouraging testimony.
200
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,520
Yes, the prophetic is so profound
201
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,640
in so many different ways.
202
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,000
But I think of what happens when we're not hearing from heaven,
203
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,560
we end up hearing from hell.
204
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,440
And that's the thing that's going on right now.
205
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,880
I believe the anxieties.
206
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,840
I believe people that are literally acting in fear.
207
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:02,160
The situation where people are walking under shame,
208
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,960
people that believe that because of the way
209
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,960
they were raised up, they will always be that way.
210
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,880
We have so many examples in our world today
211
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,920
of people hearing from hell.
212
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,640
And then the other default when we're not operating
213
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,440
in the prophetic or we're not hearing from heaven
214
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,000
is that all of a sudden we begin to have group think.
215
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,520
We let the group think for us.
216
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,240
We become echoes of popular sentiments
217
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,240
rather than have God think.
218
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,360
You know, I don't want group think.
219
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,200
I want God think.
220
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,320
I want to know what does God think about me?
221
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,800
What does God think about my future?
222
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,720
What does God think about the situation
223
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:32,640
where I find myself?
224
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,760
And many times just simply God's perspective on things
225
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,200
can shift everything.
226
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,680
The exciting thing, gang, that we want to share with you
227
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,240
is right now these nine sessions from our East Coast
228
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,360
prophetic masterclass are available
229
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,200
at www.SeanandChristasmith.com.
230
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,000
They have just come up, I believe, within the last week.
231
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:51,840
Yeah, I'm excited.
232
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,680
Just a couple of days ago,
233
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,000
I am really excited about people having access
234
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:55,920
to these nine sessions.
235
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,440
I really believe they can change people's life
236
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,400
and really activate people in the prophetic gift.
237
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,600
And if you weren't there and you're just saying,
238
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,080
man, I love what you're saying.
239
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,320
And this whole episode, hearing from heaven,
240
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,320
we're going to be bringing you in a moment, an interview,
241
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,320
but Chris and I are going to share some of the principles.
242
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,080
But these things that you're hearing are going to,
243
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,360
literally, you're going to get much more
244
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,960
if you order these sessions.
245
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,040
We're going to greater detail and so many different things.
246
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,080
We're just going to give you kind of hors d'oeuvres,
247
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,680
a la Costco or Sam's Club,
248
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,720
depending on what part of the country you're from.
249
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,840
And hopefully you'll make this investment in you.
250
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,520
We believe it will bless you.
251
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,960
And so, Chris, I want you to lead.
252
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,600
What is something that you share that you think
253
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,040
could really be a principle
254
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,360
that you'd want to sow into our people in hundred tribe
255
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:40,320
that could really help them?
256
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,680
You know, I've always really believed
257
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:44,520
that when we catch the revelation,
258
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,520
understand the revelation of the purpose
259
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,720
of the prophetic ministry,
260
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,080
and that is to release and give and help facilitate
261
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,880
and encounter with Jesus, it changes everything.
262
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,480
In a ministry that can often be entangled in people's ego
263
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,880
and people can make it point about them,
264
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,560
when we lay the ego down,
265
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:04,000
when we don't actually make the prophetic ministry about us,
266
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,120
but we understand that the most powerful purpose
267
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,800
of the prophetic ministry is that people encounter Jesus
268
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,120
because the prophetic ministry truly is a ministry
269
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,280
of breakthrough of transformation of freedom.
270
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,520
It breaks chains.
271
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,800
I have seen literally someone go from maybe being open
272
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,080
to the concept of God,
273
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,200
to giving their life immediately to Jesus
274
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,760
because they feel known, they feel seen, they feel loved.
275
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,720
And when they feel known, seen and loved,
276
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,720
they instantly just are like, I want to give my life.
277
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,760
I have seen that again and again and again.
278
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,880
I've seen someone struggling with suicide
279
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,080
and wanting to take their life.
280
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,600
And in almost a last ditch effort,
281
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,480
come to church, come to the service, cry out to God,
282
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,560
and God prophesies destiny and purpose,
283
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:43,800
breaks the spirit of death.
284
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,680
That word just spoke destiny.
285
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:46,800
So what does destiny do?
286
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,760
Destiny breaks off that death,
287
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,080
it breaks off that lie of I'm here by accident,
288
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,400
I don't have a purpose.
289
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Destiny is like, what God thinks of you
290
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,560
and what God says of you.
291
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,800
When someone hears that, it undoes them.
292
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,080
And all of a sudden they're like, hold on,
293
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,200
like I want this, I want this life,
294
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,480
and I want to walk in what God has said over me.
295
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,640
You know, I think for someone like myself
296
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,000
who was raised Catholic and I had a good reverence of God,
297
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,040
I'd certainly had an awe of God,
298
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,240
but when I witnessed the prophetic ministry,
299
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,840
it wasn't even when I was actually prophesied over,
300
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,120
it's when I just saw the prophetic ministry
301
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,280
in it moving in a room, I witnessed it.
302
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,120
That is when all of a sudden the God shifted from master
303
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,240
and kind of this like, you know, big God,
304
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,120
you know that I serve to actually a God that knows us
305
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,600
and loves us and actually knows the personal details
306
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,720
about us. Like I said, it wasn't even the prophetic word
307
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,360
over me, it was me watching someone receive the love
308
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,760
and the compassion and the destiny and the plans
309
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,080
and purposes of God over their life and hearing that.
310
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,160
I was undone.
311
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,640
And so it just got me so passionate about my goodness,
312
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,640
if we could just show that Jesus loves people,
313
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,800
to all these people that are lost and searching and broken,
314
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,520
when we fall in love with Jesus,
315
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,680
we can't help but want to share and encounter with Jesus.
316
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:58,600
And the prophetic ministry does that.
317
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,400
And so for me, that is probably one
318
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,440
of the most exciting things about the prophetic ministry
319
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,040
is that it is a ministry of encounter.
320
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,040
I love that because really what are people crying out today
321
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,000
but they want that very encounter.
322
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,160
We hunger for the transcendent
323
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,480
and we gotta be able to get that.
324
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,360
You know, the principle that I wanna sow,
325
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,400
Boo is just this principle that they say
326
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,200
that the average human being thinks
327
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,640
between six to 8,000 thoughts a day
328
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,880
or six to 8,000 thoughts come across their mind.
329
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,520
I don't know how they get to that number.
330
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,360
I'm just gonna trust the experts on it.
331
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,600
But here is my principle, all thoughts are not your thoughts.
332
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,440
I'm approving to you.
333
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,320
And this is key and crucial for me hearing the voice of God
334
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,440
and going to another level.
335
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,920
It says in Daniel 2, the book of Daniel in the Bible,
336
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,120
verses 28 through 29, Daniel says,
337
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,360
but there's a God in heaven who reveals secrets.
338
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,880
That is the prophetic gang,
339
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,760
God or heaven revealing secrets.
340
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,600
It goes on to say,
341
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,440
he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar
342
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,520
what will be in the latter days.
343
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,920
So now this is what you would call foretelling,
344
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,960
the foretelling aspect of the propheticness.
345
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,920
There's foretelling and there's foretelling.
346
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,520
And it says, what will be in the latter days?
347
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,040
Your dream and the voices, excuse me,
348
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,120
visions of your head upon your bed were these.
349
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,360
So I'll let you know God can speak in dreams.
350
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,880
And now here's verse 29.
351
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,040
And this is the key that I wanna bring to you.
352
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,080
And not all thoughts that come to your mind
353
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,080
are your thoughts.
354
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,240
Here it says in Daniel 2, verse 29,
355
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,240
as for you, okay,
356
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,560
and thoughts came to your mind while you were on your bed
357
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,760
about what would come to pass after this.
358
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,320
And he who has revealed secrets has made known to you
359
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,720
what will be.
360
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,320
So Daniel is establishing in scripture
361
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,880
that Nebuchadnezzar, God revealed a sycrawize on his bed,
362
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,480
but he got specific about it.
363
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,360
He says thoughts came to your mind.
364
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,520
You ever thought that every thought
365
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,160
that comes to your mind is not your own?
366
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,920
Because there's a number, let's say 6 to 8,000 thoughts.
367
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,680
So let's say, let's go with the higher end
368
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:52,840
because I think we think a lot or at least thoughts come.
369
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,960
Let's just say of those 8,000 thoughts a day,
370
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,920
maybe, maybe 4,500 of them are your thoughts.
371
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,120
And how do you know your thoughts?
372
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,960
Your thoughts are analytical, your thoughts are cognitive,
373
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,040
your thoughts are based on the past experience,
374
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,720
what you're dwelling on in that moment,
375
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,840
our thoughts are linear.
376
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,680
But then there's a number of thoughts that are from hell.
377
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:13,640
Let's just get honest.
378
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,160
Thoughts of condemnation, thoughts that are negative,
379
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,920
thoughts are spiteful, thoughts of unforgiveness.
380
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,040
You just think of the fruit of bad thoughts
381
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,320
that come to your mind, ill will, and those kind of things.
382
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,680
Those are proof that there are satanic thoughts.
383
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:30,280
And so I don't know, maybe there's another 1,500 thoughts.
384
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,600
So I said, like, I don't know what it is,
385
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,200
5,500 or thoughts you think of, another.
386
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,600
So maybe, I'd like to believe if you're following God,
387
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,920
you don't realize, but there could be a couple thousand
388
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,720
thoughts a day coming to your head that are from God.
389
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,560
Now, how do you know?
390
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:46,280
Well, thoughts from the spirit realm are spontaneous.
391
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,160
Thoughts from your own mind are linear
392
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,720
and out of the process of reasoning.
393
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,520
And so Holy Spirit thoughts are thoughts
394
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,640
that are spontaneous.
395
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,360
So maybe if I could so just one quick principle
396
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,840
is to understand this.
397
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,440
And God thoughts come out of no place.
398
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,600
God's thoughts don't have a buildup.
399
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,000
God's thoughts aren't a result of you analyzing
400
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:08,920
and reasoning.
401
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,160
Jesus rebuked a group of Pharisees one day
402
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,880
and he said, why do you reason?
403
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,760
And what he's saying is your thoughts
404
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,520
that you're thinking that are critical of me
405
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,760
are coming out of a reasoning process,
406
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,200
but revelation is the opposite of the reasoning process.
407
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,560
Revelation comes directly from God.
408
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,200
And so God speaks as we learn to tune into the spirit
409
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,600
and recognize that his thoughts come spontaneous,
410
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,040
but they line up with his character.
411
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,280
They line up with scripture.
412
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,720
And as you understand these things,
413
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,360
it could revolutionize your ability to hear from God.
414
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,680
Keep going, Head of the Tribe, get ready.
415
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,720
We're gonna have a powerful conversation
416
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,080
that Sean had with Julian Adams via Instagram Live.
417
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,240
And it was such an incredible conversation.
418
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,440
We wanted to bring it to you,
419
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,400
our Keep Going Out of the Tribe, because it really encapsulates
420
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,320
the heart behind the prophetic ministry
421
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,120
and share some powerful revelatory truths
422
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,600
that you do not wanna miss.
423
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,400
Hey, Julie, what's going on, bro?
424
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,240
How you doing?
425
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,040
I'm good, I'm so glad we got here.
426
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,400
I was trying to figure out what's going on.
427
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,120
Bro, isn't it always how it works?
428
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,920
I see so many people, man.
429
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,320
And I never laugh at people where they do lives
430
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,280
and they're having technical difficulties
431
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,960
because I feel their pain, man.
432
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,160
That happens so often.
433
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,280
How are you and Katia doing, man?
434
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,760
Hey, we're doing amazing.
435
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,880
We're just coming off an incredible weekend of meetings
436
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,960
and going to some wonderful things in our local community.
437
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,880
We just had a below our healing meeting on Sunday afternoon
438
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,400
and just saw 70 people getting healed.
439
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,600
Here in Boston on the East Coast, God is moving.
440
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,800
Rewind, did you say 17 or 70, like 70?
441
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,240
I should have had a number of people
442
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,200
getting healed here in Boston.
443
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,040
Gotcha.
444
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,480
We had about, yeah, just some crazy, wonderful healings.
445
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,520
In fact, we heard the story of a lady in our community
446
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,800
who had a dream about her mother getting cancer,
447
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,280
which then happened just a few weeks later
448
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,080
and she was given nine months to live.
449
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,640
Yesterday, she testified to her that the cancer
450
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,200
is in full remission, completely healed.
451
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,240
In her dream, she saw herself praying for her mother
452
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,280
and her mother getting healed.
453
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,720
And that's exactly what happened.
454
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,920
And so we're having a little police for a moment
455
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,320
of seeing some people just coming into healing.
456
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,160
And I love it.
457
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,280
It's just me in Boston on the East Coast.
458
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,000
People have told us the East Coast is hard.
459
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,840
I'm so glad nothing's too hard for Jesus.
460
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,400
Come on, Julien.
461
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,400
I love that.
462
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,240
I love that.
463
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,560
So yeah, we're good.
464
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,680
Hey, you know, I'm thinking about this in revival.
465
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,520
We're gonna quickly get to asking you some questions
466
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,200
on the prophetic, because I know there's some people
467
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,040
that are on.
468
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:33,960
And if you're on right now,
469
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,160
we gotta get a number of people on and stay on.
470
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,520
I'm about to ask Julien some incredible questions.
471
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,360
But the thing I love is that Julien Boston,
472
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,680
or I just did this research in Pennsylvania area,
473
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,760
Massachusetts, Virginia, and Pennsylvania
474
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,520
were the three epicenters for the first grade awakening.
475
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:52,360
Come on.
476
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,760
Obviously, you know, Jonathan Edwards there in Massachusetts
477
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,760
in the North Hampton kind of revival that spilled in.
478
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,160
So you are in one of the deepest wells, my friend,
479
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,320
in our nation.
480
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,720
And yet, as we know today, you know,
481
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,080
they'll tell us statistically is one of the least church
482
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,040
regions in the United States, arts, cerebral, all that.
483
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,760
But that leads us into this whole subject, my friend,
484
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,720
is that the area of the prophetic.
485
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,480
Now you teach people, you've got incredibly
486
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,120
of prophetic collective, you have Vox Day,
487
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:22,520
which is your online school.
488
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,920
You do a lot of different things.
489
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,440
You're out, you're training, you've written books on it.
490
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,120
And the thing that I love about you and people that,
491
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,760
when we had you down for our previous prophetic master class
492
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,760
when we did it West Coast, is that people love your humility,
493
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,800
your integrity, and just how solid you are in the word.
494
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,440
And kind of backing up all for that,
495
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,720
is what the compliment you were that,
496
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,400
but to state that that's so true of my friend.
497
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,280
What are some of the prophetic ministry
498
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,160
or prophetic words that have impacted your life?
499
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,680
Like where you were the recipient of the prophetic.
500
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,320
What are some things that have really impacted your life?
501
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,880
Some words you were given, a dream,
502
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,640
somebody minister of you that really rocked you?
503
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,840
You know, one of the things that I love about the prophetic
504
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,080
is you don't have to have a big name
505
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,920
to be effective in the prophetic.
506
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,880
And similarly, most significant prophetic words
507
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,640
have come from the unknowns.
508
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,560
I grew up in a home that was crazy charismatic.
509
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,320
We believe God for everything that we saw in the Bible
510
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,160
and I'm so grateful I did.
511
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,440
And we had this old, Scottish woman
512
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,000
who we affectionately called Auntie,
513
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,400
who kind of grew up with us.
514
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,960
And she had a dream about me.
515
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,120
I remember so clearly I was 15 years old, I think I was.
516
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:36,240
And I'd been praying and saying,
517
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,040
God, what am I gonna be one day?
518
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,680
And I felt the Lord speak to me
519
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,840
as he had maybe three or four times before,
520
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,280
saying I'm calling you to be a prophet to the nations.
521
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,120
I thought, God, that is such a big thing.
522
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:47,640
I need some confirmation.
523
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,000
And I remember this Auntie, this Scottish woman
524
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,440
that we love so much, coming over one day
525
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,320
and I had just been praying, literally been praying this
526
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,400
in my room, walked out of my room
527
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,720
and I walked into the lounge where she was sitting
528
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,000
and she turned to me with those fiery Scottish eyes.
529
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,160
She looked like Emma Stark, if you know who Emma Stark is,
530
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,000
I know you know.
531
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,240
And she looked at me and said, I had a dream about you.
532
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,560
The Lord is calling you to be a prophet to the nations
533
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,920
and you will be like Jesus at the well,
534
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,360
exposing the hearts and secrets of many broken people.
535
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:21,360
As she said that the power of God overwhelmed me.
536
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,960
I fell out, I was 15 years old in the passageway
537
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,120
outside the lounge, he's the presence of God came.
538
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:28,320
And that really was one of the first words
539
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,440
that propelled me into an awareness
540
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,080
of what it means to be prophetic.
541
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,880
And then we all get to hear God's voice and do the stuff.
542
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,760
I love that, man.
543
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,320
I think that's so profound.
544
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,440
I've received different ones, it's funny.
545
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,880
It was a Swedish intercessor lady
546
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,520
that was at this assembly God church
547
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,640
from like I say, in this campus ministry.
548
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,280
And then she would pray over you.
549
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,720
She said, she's a young man, can I pray over you?
550
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,960
And the moment she began to pray, it was like cold
551
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,000
for she's gonna prophesize.
552
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,240
Some people pray like Lord help them, bless them,
553
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,760
which we value, thank God for people that pray for you.
554
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,440
But she would say, let me just pray for you.
555
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,280
And then she would say, and the Lord would say,
556
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,440
and I was thinking of one instance
557
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,760
that was my most significant, Julian,
558
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:07,920
is that I was at a conference,
559
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,240
Passion for Jesus conference, Kansas City.
560
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,800
Mike Bickle was there.
561
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,480
I had heard of him, but he didn't know me from Adam.
562
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,520
And then he had Paul King get up
563
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,920
and the guy called me out by name.
564
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,480
He called me out by the state I was from.
565
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,040
And so there were 2,000 people,
566
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,920
but there was only one Sean Smith from California, man.
567
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,320
I stood up, I was shaking on the inside.
568
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,760
And what he did is I had seen levels of people
569
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,400
operating the prophetic.
570
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,760
And again, I never despise what some would call
571
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,080
were generalities, because if it comes from the mind of God,
572
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,200
it's by definition not a generality,
573
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,040
it's specific to you.
574
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,960
And so all those words, but for someone to get my name,
575
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,960
and then he prophesied something over me,
576
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,000
and this would have been, oh my God, 30 years ago, right?
577
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,320
He prophesied something over me then that it's weird.
578
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,160
It's a weird thing to do.
579
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,000
It's like an ever ascending spiraling.
580
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,720
It just keeps coming true again,
581
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,200
but at higher levels.
582
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,200
And it's so crazy.
583
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,000
Let me ask you this.
584
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,360
Why, Julien, do you think that prophetic is so important
585
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:14,520
to the body of Christ, to the church, and believers today
586
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,560
in the hour that we live in?
587
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,400
Why do you feel like, not that it's ever not been important,
588
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,920
but why do you feel like it's specifically important right now?
589
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,560
Do you guys want to think one of the overwhelming convictions
590
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,280
that I have is that the reality of the state of the world
591
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,440
means that we have no other choice but to lean into the voice
592
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:32,920
of God.
593
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,400
And if Jesus is not alive speaking today,
594
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,600
we're all in a lot of trouble.
595
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,600
And one of the things that I love is
596
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,560
bright, rooted in Scripture in Matthew chapter 16.
597
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,960
Jesus makes it clear that the church is built upon the revelation
598
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,440
of who he is.
599
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,120
And that's both historically, but also his ongoing voice
600
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:52,880
just today.
601
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,320
And we can only achieve so much by our strategy,
602
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,520
by our business lens.
603
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,640
And then we need revelation from heaven.
604
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,760
And every juncture in Scripture, particularly in the Book
605
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,360
of Acts of the Churches and Vines,
606
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:07,240
what preceded the apostolic advance of the church,
607
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,920
the impact on culture, the bringing of revival,
608
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,840
thousands of years ago, was a supernatural prophetic encounter.
609
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,000
And any theologian worth his salt
610
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,800
has to admit that God's voice is still speaking to us today.
611
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,960
And if you track revival history and the outpouring of this work,
612
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,760
they are intrinsically connected.
613
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,560
And it's not just about the big stuff that I need his voice.
614
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,520
It's about how I raise my kids.
615
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,160
It's about how I do marriage.
616
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,320
But how I impact my space and so that when he's speaking into that,
617
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,840
I get to do more with him than I ever will in my own strength
618
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:41,280
for him.
619
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,320
And that's why.
620
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,440
Oh, my goodness.
621
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,120
That was just so profound.
622
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:48,720
And you know, isn't that true that there's certain people that
623
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,840
move markets?
624
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,880
Yes, and amen, Meg, Jocelyn, I see you in tea and others.
625
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,120
But isn't it true there's certain people that they will move
626
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:58,800
NASDAQ, they'll move Wall Street, certain people that are the insiders.
627
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,160
And when they say something, commodities rise and fall based
628
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,360
on them coming out, there are certain people that when they speak.
629
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:08,840
And I was thinking about this scripture in the Bible that it says,
630
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,960
the voice of the Lord causes the deer, one translation says, to give birth.
631
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,920
And I was just thinking, just meditating on one process,
632
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,400
that one thing that the voice of God can cause someone to birth something.
633
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,000
And I just think there's so many things in the area of movements,
634
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,240
in the area of outbreaks of the spirit, in the areas of a person's
635
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,880
individual destiny, like you said, something that could birth a spark,
636
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,880
that could put a marriage back together, something that could spark,
637
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,880
that could cause a prodigal son and daughter, grandbaby, to come back
638
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,400
home to Jesus, that God can speak.
639
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,240
And as a result of that, something is launched forward that was not there
640
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:42,800
before.
641
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,680
And today we see the power of a lie.
642
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,760
We see the power of, for the Old Testament, it's probably called false
643
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,160
prophecies, and I'm not even talking about people getting up and saying,
644
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:53,960
that's the other Lord and they're off.
645
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,360
I'm just talking about a fallen narrative that does not include the mind
646
00:23:57,360 --> 00:23:59,040
of a heart of God for man.
647
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,600
And we see the damage that that causes.
648
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,440
And it's just crazy.
649
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,440
Speak to this, Julie, because I think you're like, I can talk to you all day
650
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,720
and I know people are being blessed by this.
651
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,160
When someone says, I don't hear the voice of God, I'm a follower of Christ.
652
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,800
I love the Lord, but I don't hear God.
653
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,480
And they're kind of stuck in that area based on, you know, whatever, for
654
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,040
whatever reasons, they're not getting any insight, any revelation, anything
655
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:24,680
exceptional.
656
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,480
What would you say to that person that says, Hey, I just don't hear the God,
657
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,120
like Julie, you hear the voice of God, that other minister is the voice of God,
658
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:34,320
but I just, I'm not good at this.
659
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,640
So I should probably just stick to like here and someone else, you're not for
660
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:39,160
me or something.
661
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:39,760
What would you say?
662
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,320
Yeah, I think that the key things I'd say, the first thing I'd say is you've
663
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,040
already heard the voice of God.
664
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,920
No man can become a Christian without God's voice calling him and drawing him
665
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,120
to himself and that you've had any counter and that if you can believe that
666
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:58,720
God is forgiven your sin, you can believe that he wants to speak to you at any
667
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,920
time because those two are intrinsically connected.
668
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,680
I think the second thing I'd say, and you see this through our scripture, right
669
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,400
from the Garden of Eden, all the way through the narrative of scripture,
670
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:14,440
that both saved and I'm saved, both regenerated and regenerated.
671
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:22,280
People are created with the potential and with the senses to recognize in your
672
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:22,960
God's voice.
673
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,640
God loves you, see the people and I've often said this, that it would be
674
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,320
highly dysfunctional for me as a father, not to talk to my children.
675
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,280
And the reality is that intrinsic to you is an ability to your God's voice.
676
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:40,400
The key is finding out exactly what and how he likes me to you.
677
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,680
And when you discover that, there is a flow.
678
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,080
And this is one of the things that I love doing, these equipping times like
679
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,240
we're going to be doing in East Coast prophets because actually what we're
680
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:54,600
releasing is not just our experience, but a biblical framework for every believer
681
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,240
to encounter the other voice of God.
682
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,640
You were created and designed to hear his voice.
683
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,600
God is a relational father.
684
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,560
He's so relational that he puts on human flesh to be right in the midst of people.
685
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:11,080
Glory takes on dirt in order to be a month's people so that he can relate.
686
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,480
And if you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus.
687
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,840
And that's the most beautiful thing is Jesus is easy.
688
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,200
You're in his voice is easy.
689
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,440
It's not difficult.
690
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,720
And these are, there's just so many keys that are so simple, founded
691
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,440
structure that will unlock this for you.
692
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,160
You mean, I'm just gonna say number one, bro, profound.
693
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,120
I've heard Jesus all over what you said.
694
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:34,920
I'm not a high person, but man, I felt they're no key because I love it.
695
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:35,680
You said it.
696
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,400
We are designed to hear the voice of God.
697
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,960
And so the narrative in our hand that we don't hear the voice of God,
698
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:41,360
I love it.
699
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:45,560
You first refuted it by saying you could come to Jesus without hearing his voice.
700
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,840
And then the next thing is that you are hearing God's voice.
701
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,520
It is more on the lines of finding out how God is speaking to you because
702
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,360
we're, he's speaking, we're not recognizing it.
703
00:26:56,360 --> 00:27:01,520
And obviously, you know, they've got back in the day was this AM FM radio, you know,
704
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:06,480
and then they had serious FM radio and and and except for him or whatever they
705
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,000
would call it.
706
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,200
But if all you have is at AM or I'll rephrase that.
707
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,080
If all you're listening to is you're on the AM dial, you're not going to get an
708
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,600
FM, let alone a serious X FM wavelength.
709
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,800
You have to get on the right frequency.
710
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,960
And I think so often people were in the wrong frequency.
711
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,080
Maybe we're in the flesh.
712
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:28,760
Maybe we're looking for God because the, you have to learn the volume of God's
713
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:29,080
voice.
714
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,280
And this is so key because I love you said it.
715
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,480
I'm just going to throw this out there.
716
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:33,800
We're going to continue our conversation.
717
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,560
But I asked you different examples of how a prophetic word you mentioned a
718
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,400
Scottish lady.
719
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,400
Give us some instances where God used you in a prophetic in some and I feel like
720
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,160
they're all profound, but what stands out to you in terms of the prophetic words
721
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,280
God gave you for others and how it impacted someone else's life.
722
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,760
Wow, gosh, there's so many I'm trying to reach for them.
723
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:59,800
I think I think the best ones for me are the ones where God reveals some
724
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,000
incredible details.
725
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,760
And I'm thinking of a particular word.
726
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,040
I see.
727
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,840
I just saw this lady just recently out in California.
728
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,240
I was in a meeting about a year ago and I brought a word of knowledge about
729
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,200
somebody who had gone through a significant relational breakdown and I gave
730
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,800
the specific date on which it had happened.
731
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,400
And I can't remember the exact date, but let's just say September 12th.
732
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,840
And I began to describe what had happened in great detail.
733
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,440
And this woman was going through a significant divorce after being married
734
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,440
for over 30 years.
735
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,080
I haven't been cheeky on her.
736
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,440
And just in a devastated, broken place, overwhelmed by depression.
737
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,000
Wondering if God knew who she was.
738
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,160
And as I begin to describe, even down to the date that she got divorced on,
739
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,000
she stands up and God brings healing to her.
740
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,040
And a year later, I mean, the same day she comes up to it, she says,
741
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,760
you probably don't remember me, but this is what happened.
742
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,120
And she begins to describe the incredible depression that was overwhelming
743
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,720
out how that lifted off of her and how she's nodding ministry and serving
744
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:06,640
and doing things for God because she found the worth that she was to God in that
745
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,080
single, maybe 10 minute prophetic word.
746
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,960
And it completely changed her life so that she's helping people around her.
747
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,800
I think of moments when I prophesied in unseeing places where it's not at a
748
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,440
conference, it's maybe in the office or a boardroom.
749
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,560
I often do stuff like this and prophesying over individuals to then go on
750
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:28,120
to make significant changes in their country or in different fields of society.
751
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,040
But all of it boils down to now.
752
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:30,840
I'll never forget this.
753
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,840
I thought the looks they do me once said, I don't want you to go for information.
754
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,160
I want you to go for heart.
755
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:40,680
When God comes right into the heart of somebody and reveals amazing things,
756
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,040
all of these great information.
757
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,360
And you've seen me minister, I've seen you minister.
758
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,760
We get some incredible details, wonderful dates, make your name and all of that
759
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:49,680
stuff beautiful.
760
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:55,480
But it's when that intrinsic worth of that individual is revealed to them
761
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,840
that God is so in love with them.
762
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,520
They extend crazy people like us to bring a few words together and it changes
763
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,200
their decision.
764
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,920
That's the heart of the prophetic and that's what can be bro.
765
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:11,280
You just gave me some next level right there hats in the prophetic.
766
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:12,720
May you say I love this.
767
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,360
And by the way, that, that, that testimony is profound.
768
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:16,920
Don't go for information.
769
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,240
Go for heart.
770
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,400
And would you say part of that is kind of as you're about to step it in that
771
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:27,280
moment, just asking the father for his heart, his love for that person in front
772
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:27,760
of them.
773
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,520
Would you say that it also includes connecting to the heart of the person
774
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:32,600
that's in front of you.
775
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:33,800
Just kind of speak to that.
776
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,080
Cause yeah, that can revolutionize someone's prophetic.
777
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:37,880
Come on, man.
778
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,640
Come on, you guys, you guys write this down.
779
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:40,520
This is good stuff.
780
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,480
Actually, what I think that whenever you do function without relationship, it's
781
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,920
legalism at best and at its worst, it's witchcraft.
782
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,800
And we have got to break with the functional dynamics of what we often see
783
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,040
in how we relate to God.
784
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,960
He's relational, which means that when he feels something, he wants to share
785
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:01,880
that with us because that's what brings you.
786
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,400
The Bible says in Psalm 25 that the secret of the Lord belongs to those
787
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,120
of Abraham.
788
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,560
That word secret is the word friendship in the original Hebrew there.
789
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,000
Like if you want to be friends with God, he wants to share his secrets, his
790
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,520
emotions, his heart with you.
791
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,760
And whenever I get up to prophesy, one of the things I endeavor to do is to
792
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:24,520
store my own desires or platform, my own desires for accuracy, my own desires
793
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,200
for respectability and say, God, what are you feeling for the person in front
794
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:28,840
of you?
795
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,960
And very often he moves me to tears or joy.
796
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,800
And in that moment of connecting with the height of God, that somebody comes
797
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,880
into freedom and into liberty.
798
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,840
And so I think for me, love is the free cursor.
799
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,160
Prophecy without love is just fortune telling.
800
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,280
We don't want to do that.
801
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,560
We have to bring a revelation of Jesus because here's the thing.
802
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,280
The spirit of prophecy is the revelation of Jesus.
803
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,840
In other words, all prophetic ministers should lead to a love encounter with Jesus.
804
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,160
Oh my goodness.
805
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,600
People, my people, my people.
806
00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:59,880
Are you guys there watching?
807
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:04,120
I love the different emojis and the different texts that people are sending in.
808
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,240
Amazing.
809
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,800
That thing of just having God's heart.
810
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,640
But even that thing of, Julie, what you said is that when you get up, the love
811
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,600
of wanting to be accurate, platform, all of that, you lay that down.
812
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,200
And it's so, I think that's so needed that we need to hear that.
813
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:20,920
I need to hear that.
814
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,240
I think there's a bunch of people as God is raising up.
815
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,600
We're in a joe two time.
816
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,520
God's going to put a spirit on all flesh.
817
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,760
Sons and daughters shall prophesy.
818
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,760
You've got to know where this thing is heading folks.
819
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:37,080
This thing is heading towards a massive breed of prophetic sons and daughters
820
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,440
rising up, hearing the voice of God, becoming the voice of God, because we
821
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,360
become the voice of God and release it in the earth.
822
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,840
I believe that's a major part of that versus as all of creation is in yearning,
823
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,800
excuse me, groaning in an eager anticipation for the revealing of the sons of God.
824
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:52,920
And part of it is that thing.
825
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,120
I love that man because I think there's such a seduction.
826
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,640
I feel like it's in those moments where it's easier to miss God when all of a sudden that
827
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,360
little bit of sneaky ego thing, that little like wanting to be seen, wanting to be known,
828
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,760
wanting to be accurate, I'd say, oh my God, I was in a social meeting and they got this and
829
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,400
they got that.
830
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,960
But it's a thing of stepping away from that and just saying, God, you love this person.
831
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,280
How do you want the expression that love to specifically take place?
832
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,600
And I love that thing that you basically were saying love demands communication,
833
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,440
love demands communication.
834
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,880
Final question, man.
835
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,640
And I don't want to keep you too long.
836
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,440
And so I love everybody that's jumped on.
837
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,800
Lily or Lily LTV just jumped on others.
838
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:41,480
I have always loved the prophetic and always jumped in it.
839
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,720
And I was modeled it in a very great way.
840
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:48,520
So I have a heart for people that maybe they had bad models and they have to overcome that
841
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,640
bad modeling they have.
842
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,720
I had great models and not saying that their lives were perfect or anything like that.
843
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,640
But they really loved the Lord and they were really kind.
844
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:03,240
I began to realize, bro, that the secret to the prophetic is found in the secret place.
845
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,080
So if I could ask you, I know it's like it's almost the equivalent of one guy saying it's
846
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,800
like asking to go to someone's bedroom, you know, and stuff.
847
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,960
But hey, Maddie, how you doing?
848
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,120
I see some people they wave what's going on, Maddie.
849
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,160
So I'm going to ask you a question.
850
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,320
Everybody, y'all are going to be blessed by me saying so.
851
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,600
I'm sure because I'm great.
852
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:23,080
What components, again, you have no way to fully exhaust what your quiet time is like.
853
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:28,760
But what specifically in the secret place in the quiet time do you do to connect to the heart of
854
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:29,000
God?
855
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,960
Because obviously prophesying is connecting to the heart of God and revealing his mind,
856
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,000
his emotions, his revelation to others.
857
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,960
But what helps you specifically connect to the heart of God in the secret place?
858
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,360
I am so glad you asked me that.
859
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:49,640
I think we're, if I can go on one quick tangent, we are in a place where everybody
860
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:55,400
is looking in on someone else's intimacy, which is really called voyeurism,
861
00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:01,560
experimental voyeurism, and wanting that by way of sight without any covenant.
862
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:06,120
And the big change for me is when I begin to understand my union with Christ,
863
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,480
and so I begin there, Jesus, I think that I'm joined to you,
864
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,320
but I occupy the same space in trinitarian intimacy with you.
865
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:19,000
You see, I can give away the gift of prophecy, but I can't give away
866
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,120
my history with Jesus.
867
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,280
No one can impart that.
868
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:29,560
And so when I say time with him, rather than when I do the hard work of making time,
869
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,400
of finding time to be with him, I always begin with union.
870
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,800
This is who I now am, connect to you.
871
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,640
For me, worship is a big deal, the kind of unabandoned worship.
872
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,800
And I'll just be honest with you, I've got kids now, so that has been crazy,
873
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,880
but I find time to pray in times.
874
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,040
I find moments to spend with him.
875
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,280
I read scripture, not for a sermon.
876
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,040
I read scripture so that it can impact me.
877
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:53,400
These are some of the things.
878
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,800
And then the biggest thing is journaling, spending time writing out what God is speaking,
879
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,360
holding it in my heart, valuing what it looks like.
880
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:06,440
But if I would sum up this whole thing, praying in times, worshiping Jesus,
881
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:12,920
and spending time in listening prayer is what has shifted my intimacy levels with Jesus.
882
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,720
And I want to say this, we can give all the skillset,
883
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:20,840
you can't shortcut intimacy, and ultimately Jesus has called us to be with him
884
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,520
before we do anything for him.
885
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,640
And it's in the being with him that it all changes.
886
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:30,520
Man, what I love about that is, I feel like there are people that are trying to give you
887
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,640
shortcuts in a place where you can't get a shortcut, right?
888
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:33,880
Yep.
889
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,440
You can't get a shortcut to intimacy.
890
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,360
Like, you know, I know when you're little kids, you can meet somebody first thing on the playground,
891
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,760
and you go back and you go, that's my best friend.
892
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,480
And I love little kids' ability to connect like that.
893
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,720
But the truth be told, I think sometimes we think we can just meet with God real quick,
894
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:51,400
and all of a sudden he's our best friend.
895
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,280
He's like, no, relationship takes time.
896
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,640
And I love what you said.
897
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:56,920
Covenant, amen bro.
898
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:01,480
I love what you said about listening prayer, because God began to deal with me one time.
899
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,880
I was watching a late night talk show, somebody was on there,
900
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,960
I wanted to hear their perspective on something.
901
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,680
And I just felt like the Lord started a dialogue while I'm watching,
902
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,560
I forgot, I was one of the Jimmy, you know, Jimmy Kimmel or the other Jimmy,
903
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,320
Jimmy Fallon, I think it was the Jimmy Fallon show.
904
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,600
And he begins with the, I guess they call it the monologue.
905
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,840
And they've done that since back in the day, you know, all them old school talk shows,
906
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,600
you know, they were on.
907
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,280
And I just felt like the Lord says,
908
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,680
do people watch the monologue of this talk show and turn it off?
909
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:31,880
And that's all they wanted?
910
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:36,040
No, it's because someone's going to sit on the couch and there's going to be a dialogue.
911
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,760
And I feel like sometimes we jump up out of our prayer time,
912
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,440
we just had the monologue, we told God, I need this, I need this, Lord bless this,
913
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,040
Lord, please help me pay my bills here.
914
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,520
Do something about my spouse cause they crazy Lord.
915
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,680
Lord, we just pray that my boss at work is good.
916
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:49,880
And then we like, amen.
917
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:50,600
And we jump out.
918
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:56,360
But it's like, hold up, you had the monologue, but now wait and go into the dialogue.
919
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:01,240
It's like in that talk show, someone came and sat on the couch, they got comfortable
920
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:02,840
and they begin to talk.
921
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,880
And I just felt like the Lord says, you're just going to wait in my presence,
922
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,040
watch you've done your, you know, the monologue.
923
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,160
And obviously it's more than that, but I'm taking time to worship the Lord.
924
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,520
I'm telling the time to tell the Lord.
925
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:13,480
It's my checklist.
926
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:13,880
Yeah.
927
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:20,120
That I've found as I wait before the Lord, as I just get still, I feel like for a lot of people
928
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,360
and we're probably right at that point, but there's no time to decide that.
929
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:31,480
I feel like we're too busy and modern America, the pace of modern America is in such a hurried,
930
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,560
everything is blurred landscape, but you can't make the God of your salvation,
931
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,400
the captain of your salvation.
932
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:43,240
You can't make the ultimate lover of your soul, blurred scenery on the high.
933
00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:44,680
You've got to slow down.
934
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:49,240
And when the Bible says, be still and know that I'm God, I found, and maybe you can speak to this
935
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:51,560
and we'll give more plug for the masterclass.
936
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,920
You know, it says, be still and know that I'm God.
937
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,800
I find if I can help teach people how to get still, they'll hear the voice of God.
938
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,760
Their difficulty isn't so much hearing the voice of God.
939
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:07,560
Their difficulty is getting still because you have all the other competing voices in your head.
940
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,520
You got your thoughts.
941
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,120
You got your mama's thoughts, what she wants.
942
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,320
You got your friend's thoughts.
943
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,440
You got what's turning on Twitter thinking you got whatever movie you want.
944
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,600
You got all these things, the worries, and then that's not even talking about the enemy yet
945
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:24,200
and all the stuff he's throwing, but the ability to get still where all this stuff just settles.
946
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:29,000
And all of a sudden I find as we can turn down the volume on their competing voices,
947
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,960
it's weird how the volume gets turned up on the Lord's voice.
948
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,160
What would you say to just the fact that people just said,
949
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,600
I've got so many thoughts.
950
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,440
I've got so much going through my head.
951
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:39,560
I'm so busy.
952
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,560
What can I do to get to that place where I just can become more still?
953
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:50,360
Here I think in an anxiety-obsessed and driven context where many people are
954
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:55,080
struggling with anxiety and thoughts are popping in ways that become uptrusive.
955
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,520
One of the things that really helped me and I've done this in church,
956
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,920
yeah, and thanks to Mark and Patty Berkler who wrote a book called Dialogue with God,
957
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,160
is I'm processing my thoughts with Jesus.
958
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,520
I feel anxious.
959
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,200
Can you help me still before I write a down in a piece of paper?
960
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:17,640
Because eventually all of the thoughts and you'd be surprised that you probably don't have as many
961
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,480
thoughts as you think you do in your head.
962
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:24,840
Get out of your head under a piece of paper so that you can actually be still in the presence of God.
963
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,760
And that's been a game changer for me.
964
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:33,720
If I'm thinking I need to do X, Y, and Z, Z, I'm worried about this and I just write a down in my time with Jesus,
965
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:38,600
process it within for a few minutes because once I've written a down in a second out of my head
966
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:46,200
and it opens me up to being still in His presence, there's something around intimacy that just requires
967
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,200
time and the stillness.
968
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:54,680
And I think that if you can find the space, I enjoy saying it, it helps me still my mind.
969
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:59,640
So a beautiful space that brings me into a calming place as I'm doing it.
970
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,040
But you know what the beautiful thing is, that word there, it says, you still know that I'm God,
971
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,840
is actually that whole Psalm is written in the context of warfare.
972
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,720
It's written in the context of the nation's raging and in the middle of that God saying,
973
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:12,280
be still.
974
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,920
And I've discovered that there's something, there's a place that I go to even in the midst of high
975
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,920
levels of tension where I'm going, God, you're the only one who can help me.
976
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,920
So I'm just going to rest a little bit.
977
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,960
And I intentionally do stuff that's counterintuitive.
978
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,120
Like when there's a demand for us, I will slow it down, step up for a while,
979
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:34,520
breathe in, spend time with Jesus and not allow the rush to dictate my peace.
980
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:40,360
And I think those practices begin to help you because life is inconvenient and we are living
981
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:45,160
in a season where anxiety has been growing at us and we've actually feel like the church is simply
982
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,080
accepting anxiety as pandemic.
983
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:52,600
I'm going, no, the Bible tells us, ask your anxiety onto the Lord, where He cares for you.
984
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:57,960
And I believe that as you begin to practice taking time to be with Him, the peace that's
985
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:02,440
on Him overwhelms your heart and mind and He gives you peace that doesn't make sense.
986
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:03,800
It passes and be standing.
987
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,640
And it's in that place of fullness that He begins to speak so clearly.
988
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,240
I love the interrupt of God.
989
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:11,400
I love the loud, moving voices of God.
990
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,120
But most importantly, I love His still small voice.
991
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,520
And that requires me to be still in order to hear His still small voice.
992
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:23,240
Julien, dude, you're a Jedi, bro.
993
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:25,240
Thanks for taking time.
994
00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:26,440
Oh my gosh.
995
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,160
I mean, that is an incredible conversation.
996
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,480
I'm so glad we shared that with our Keep It On Our Tribe.
997
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,520
There were so many truths and revelations that that was just deep.
998
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:35,800
That was a deep conversation.
999
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,600
I loved it.
1000
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:37,880
So many people love Julien.
1001
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:42,440
This guy is gifted in the prophetic as anyone I've been around.
1002
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:47,960
But in addition to that, his ability to break down the concepts and make them bite
1003
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,040
sized or understandable for people is simply amazing.
1004
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,360
And the guy is deep in the word.
1005
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,040
And he just comes.
1006
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:00,680
There isn't a religious bone in his body, but there's a complete respect for the word of God
1007
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,200
and for the person of the Holy Spirit.
1008
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:09,160
I am so glad that we were able to bring Julien to you guys in this incredible masterclass.
1009
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,280
