We are super excited to come at you because we have got a big surprise interview on this

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:35,560
episode.

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,560
Oh yeah it's so good.

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,440
I'm so excited for everyone to hear it because oh my goodness it is so powerful.

Next level y'all.

14
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:42,440
Next level.

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,920
But before we jump into that we are super excited that God has responded in such a unique

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,600
way by giving us a modern day stirring.

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,080
Asbury College is in the midst of revival meetings that began February the 8th my understanding

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:04,440
was and a bunch of students walked forward Christa and began to repent during their chapel

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:10,720
and it all happens in this small town of Wilmore, Kentucky and it's crazy what's going on because

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,760
this past weekend they said that over 20,000 people came to Asbury over the weekend with

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:23,840
five overflow buildings, a grass lawn filled where there is even a 2.5 mile backup of cars

22
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,040
going into Wilmore and there is this huge cry for first love, fervency and even one

23
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,120
of the leaders of it is quoted as saying Lord let the fire of your spirit fall like

24
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,520
the latter rain.

25
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,960
So it's so incredible to see what God is doing at Asbury University.

26
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:44,760
I mean it is really a generational move of God that's happening right now.

27
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:50,160
We've been prophesying and believing, praying and preaching and contending and like so many

28
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,480
other people that have just known there's a move of God that's about to get unleashed

29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:01,560
and in fact we are living in it and it goes from Asbury to now Lee University even BSSM

30
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,880
up in Reading have had an extended move.

31
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,920
Unusual, you know all this stuff that people are reporting is unusual and I think someone

32
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:12,840
put on social media and I'll be honest I haven't gone and fact checked everything but they

33
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,920
were saying 17 locations are in fact experiencing like unusual moves of God and responses in

34
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:23,280
the area of repentance, accostecration and the miracles and just people won't stop worshiping

35
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,040
and I'm like this is so beautiful.

36
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:31,800
Like to me this is just what an incredible response in what has been such a hard season

37
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,200
some people have come out of and yet it has produced a hunger and a desperation that I

38
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,120
just think we're seeing the fruit of what we have been praying for and contending for

39
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,840
and I love it because Gen Z is leading the way.

40
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,680
These are all students and you know it's not people with like well-known ministries or

41
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:54,440
people really leading this it's just students and people for that matter that are just want

42
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,440
more of God and we saw the beginning of an outpouring of God here in the Bay at Momentum

43
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,280
and we're asking the Lord how do we foster that here in the Bay I think it's available

44
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,360
for everyone.

45
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,960
I think Asbury and Lee University and all these other colleges are experiencing it and

46
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,200
now services we had a friend in Charlotte text us on Sunday and they're like we're just

47
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,400
getting out of church it's 2 30 in the afternoon and people just would not leave they just

48
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,120
want to worship and so this is happening in many churches.

49
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,560
I know a couple other people that that happened as well and so I'm just I'm like God I'm

50
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,680
getting provoked like a holy provoking just going God like let that happen in the Bay

51
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,520
and then where we're at in services I'm just asking for God just to pour out a spirit

52
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,960
like I'm just so desperate for an authentic move of God and we're really seeing it and

53
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,960
I want to be a part of that.

54
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,520
I think every one of our listeners and they keep wanting to try they want a part of that

55
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,000
and so I want you to hear what God's doing and then be provoked to be an intercessor

56
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,800
and a forerunner for your region and your city because I think it's available forever.

57
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,000
So true even the president of Asbury just talked about that there are people that came

58
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,840
from all over the hungry hunger for the more and as you said you know they're Baptist schools

59
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:11,520
evangelical schools that is spread to Cedarville, Samford University but also as you mentioned

60
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,960
Lee University is a school of Pentecostal roots in Tennessee but we're hearing it as

61
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,440
you said all over and it's so interesting because three days prior to this outbreak

62
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,480
of God and repentance that took place at Asbury is very interesting.

63
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,720
Sam Smith Grammy award-winning singer he's a talented guy by his own admission he's a

64
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,760
non-binary in terms of his expression out of the UK.

65
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,680
He at that Grammys I believe that would that would be February 5th he says this is going

66
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:46,080
to be specially tweeted he showed kind of a little Satan horn little emoji and then

67
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:53,600
CBS was very interesting the television broadcasting network responded to Sam Smith's tweet by

68
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,320
saying you can say that again quote we are ready to worship and obviously here Sam Smith

69
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:05,520
had satanic horns and so it's very interesting and his Grammy award-winning performance was

70
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,440
called unholy.

71
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:14,560
And three days later God has students 24-7 worshiping CBS says you can say that again

72
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,920
we're ready to worship and it's like God took over that narrative and took over that hunger

73
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:24,120
and we've been praying that Gen Z millennials and even people that have come to faith in

74
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,480
this generation would have a reference point of what a move of God looks like and we're

75
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,400
seeing that beginning to happen so it's so exciting and I think what God is saying is

76
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,120
even after the pandemic even in the midst of balloons coming over the United States from

77
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:47,520
China wars inflation the situation with economies divisions and all that none of that intimidates

78
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,480
God from moving into generation they've said that this generation is the most agnostic the

79
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,400
most atheist the most androgynous the most you you can go down the list and yet none

80
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,320
of that stuff intimidates God nor does any of that stifle the hunger of an emerging generation

81
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:10,720
that says I want more and that is just such a profound thing especially in light of I

82
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:17,480
love how God responds it's one thing you know to blast certain secular people that don't

83
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,440
know God about their activities I'm I'm not here to say that people that call them out

84
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,960
are wrong in terms of calling out the immorality I think we should as believers but at the same

85
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:34,200
time what is really God's response to unbelievers doing what is their nature which is to sin

86
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:40,200
and I believe that is for believers to manifest the spirit of God as others would manifest

87
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,560
whatever spirit thereof and to see God pour out his spirit and demonstrate because I always

88
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,920
think the answer is Mount Carmel like the world calls upon their God and Elijah didn't

89
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:58,200
in a sense spend as much time decrying literally how crazy or off they were he rather called

90
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,360
upon his God who responded by fire so please hear what I'm saying anybody's listening I

91
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,400
believe that we should decry evils I believe we should speak out against injustices all

92
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:12,000
of that but at the same time our job isn't finished if all we do is decry what is wrong

93
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,040
without crying out for what is right and that's what I love I believe asbury is a response

94
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:24,000
to what others have been decrying I love that you know it's like I always I always kind

95
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,640
of laugh because I'm always like nice try nice try devil right and it's like when Sam Smith

96
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,160
is putting that out on hunt unholy and Demi Lovato is her latest album is called Holy

97
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:40,600
and it's the F word it's so defiling it's it's such blasphemy and God just won't stand

98
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,120
for that and nor will the people of God and what I love is there's a generation that has

99
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:52,680
been inundated with a blasphemous just rebellious attitude toward the things of God like there's

100
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,280
nothing sacred there's nothing holy and in fact there is something very holy and very

101
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:03,640
sacred Jesus and and I think there's a generation that is creating a standard that the world

102
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,000
has tried to tear down and that's really the spirit of Elijah and I prophesied this and

103
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,960
really even preached on it at momentum and prior to that that we're in a moment where

104
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,960
the spirit of Elijah are talking about Mount Carmel just to kind of continue that that the

105
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,320
spirit of Elijah is arising on a generation where we saw it on Elijah we saw it on John

106
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,960
the Baptist but now it's on a generation where the spirit of Elijah comes and it and it restores

107
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,760
what's been torn down and there's been a there's been an unholiness there's been a

108
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,800
defiance there's been a rebellious spirit that has run rampant and be given permission

109
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:41,000
and it has been very casual even in the church and I love it because there is now this like

110
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,320
absolute standard that's being reset for a generation that's going no we're not okay

111
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,800
with that and we're not going to worship a false God anymore and I just want to tell

112
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,120
you keep 100 tribe as Sean was talking I just had this like holy holy righteousness kind

113
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,480
of like rise up in me just this righteous indignation that's like don't give an inch

114
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,400
right now like for everything we're seeing that God's doing there's there is pushback

115
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,520
like what's interesting is as asbury is happening Lee University moves a God churches all over

116
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,400
extended services like there the church is awakened right now and there's a move of God

117
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:21,480
that's being poured out all over and then February 17 through the 19th the most mass

118
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,800
shootings and a mass shooting is anytime there's over five people right that's considered a mass

119
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:33,080
shooting right so February 17 through the 19th there was 10 mass shootings in America that's

120
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:39,560
insane right and it just shows as we're having this move of God the demonic pot is being stirred

121
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:45,240
days before asbury move of God revival outpouring what everyone to call it God's moving let's just

122
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:51,880
say that God is moving and the Grammys is like this demonic platform that's being sent out to

123
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,360
a generation and being called entertainment and it's just this agenda and I just felt like the

124
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:02,120
Lord's going don't give up an inch right now what has been rebuilt in the spirit right because

125
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:08,440
asbury Lee University all these outpourings it has created a reminder of who our God is and the

126
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:14,040
holiness of our God and so I just felt like the Lord's like don't give up an inch keep that standard

127
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,200
intact because there is a war over the soul of this nation we're seeing an outpouring but there

128
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,560
is a battle for this outpouring and and we battle in our worship so this isn't us just going oh it's

129
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:30,280
like us going God you are worthy and we're just reinforcing the altar of the Lord being erected

130
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,760
once where it was torn down we're saying no this is a there is a people in this nation that will

131
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:40,040
worship you that is so good and even as you're talking christ i'm just reminded and I just pulled

132
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:45,160
up and saw this tweet that right now students are gathering to pray for revival at Baylor University

133
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:51,960
so here you are over in Texas and they're outside gathering to pray for an outpouring of the spirit

134
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,520
now remind it that there's an author dr. david mackenna he wrote a book called the coming great

135
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,000
awakening and it's put out by internet or university press and I was really impacted by that book

136
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,600
because he basically prophesied in his book that america's next great awakening was going to begin

137
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,440
in the college dorm room and I'm wondering if man that guy was profound and I'm super excited

138
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:18,680
about that well keep it 100 tribe you are in for a great treat because we have uh right now imaginary

139
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:26,120
drum roll please we have a general of the faith uh she is literally one of the most respected

140
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:32,120
voices in the prophetic male or female and she is patricia king and uh she's apostolic leader

141
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,000
she's a prophetic minister she's an entrepreneur she's a spiritual mentor she's even become a

142
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,840
spiritual mentor to christa and I she is basically a true mother in the faith definitely and her

143
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:50,120

146
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,000
now I want you to get ready to jump in this interview with patricia king hey everyone we're

147
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,880
so excited to have patricia king here on our podcast today she has been such a powerful role model

148
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,440
for shon and I for years and then recently we've just really developed a relationship with her

149
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,480
personally as we've just really admired from afar but getting to know this woman has been such a

150
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:29,160

156
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:04,600

157
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,240
and a lot of other leaders and you just called us to this place of intimacy and connection with the

158
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:15,880
Lord and it truly felt like this beautiful posturing the Lord invited us into walking into 2023

159
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:21,400
but just your wisdom your revelation and your mentorship in those couple of days we had with

160
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,120
you shon and I said it felt like it set the trajectory for our year but before we dive into

161
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,920
that I want people just to hear a little bit of your origin story and how you came to encounter

162
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,520
God because we love to hear people's stories of how God encountered them yeah thank you what an

163
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:42,200
honor to be able to boast on Jesus yeah right for the work he's done in my life and your life and

164
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:48,680
anyone that knows Jesus you have a story to tell and it's an honor to tell it so um I grew up in

165
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:55,640
Canada I'm Canadian um by origin and uh have been transplanted into the USA so I have dual citizenship

166
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,680
right now but I grew up in a home that did not know the Lord but my parents were partiers so they

167
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:05,240
went to parties on saturday night and sent the kids off to Sunday school Sunday morning so that

168
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:11,640
they could sleep in so I actually had knowledge about Jesus and I learned that oh Jesus is loving

169
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,920
he's kind he loves children um and I learned the Bible stories like Moses Daniel and David and

170
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,880
in Goliath and all those stories and so I had a little bit of understanding about Jesus but there

171
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,200
was no teaching about you know being born again or having a new life in him or anything I used to

172
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,680
sleep with a picture of Jesus that I received Sunday school under my pillow every single night

173
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,640
because I thought he was so wonderful right I just didn't know him personally but my heart I think was

174
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:42,600
always for him so anyways fast forwarding to my early 20s um I just because of things that I

175
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:48,360
choices I made but also things that happened to me like um I was just messed up really really messed

176
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:54,680
up and I was you know making all kinds of wrong choices and I buried so much guilt undemationed

177
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,400
shame and I tried to help myself so I went into the new age actually to see if I could get some

178
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,280
kind of spiritual help and um I enjoyed the new age community I found the people they were really

179
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,160
loving and everything and you know I'm spiritually inclined I like I love spiritual things so there

180
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:14,040
was a lot of great things but it didn't resolve the conflict within and so I just got more messed

181
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:19,640
up and more messed up and it brought me to a point of one night um that I've been invited to a Bible

182
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:25,720
study at an Anglican church and I heard testimony and every single person they are testified of how

183
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:31,080
Jesus came into their life and forgave them of all their sin and gave them a brand new beginning a

184
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:36,680
brand new start and I thought oh I would love I would love what they've been given but I didn't

185
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,720
know if the Lord had a limit because they were they were saying what they had had been delivered

186
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,120
out of it and I thought my stuff was worse than theirs so I thought well maybe he's got a limit

187
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:52,760
right but I went to love that night I love that night and I fell on my floor and just wept and I

188
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,160
said Jesus those people up the street there they said that that you came into their heart and you

189
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,560
forgave them of all their sin oh I've got is a mess I have nothing to offer you I'm probably the most

190
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,640
gross person on the face of the earth and I'm evil inside that's what I felt at time I was

191
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,840
totally bad inside and I said but I'd really like for you to come into my heart and bring

192
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,480
my sin like you did theirs and I honestly didn't know if he would or not but you know what he

193
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,200
didn't hesitate and he came in and the way I describe it the only way I describe it is it felt

194
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:26,280
like liquid love coming inside of me wow and it was like it lifted all the guilt all the shame all

195
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:33,320
that evil identity that I had on the inside instantaneously left wow and I felt so beautiful

196
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:39,560
inside and so loved and my whole being I believe was baptized in love that day actually wow because

197
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:45,160
I was immersed in it and I wept all night wave after wave of his love presence came over me and I

198
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,320
just couldn't believe that you would love me like that like I couldn't believe anybody would love me

199
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,800
like that and so I would weep again and we begin and when I got up off the floor in the morning my

200
00:16:53,800 --> 00:17:00,200
eyes were swollen from crying so much but it was it was elation though and and I noticed my neighbors

201
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,640
light we lived in a townhouse of the townhouse across from me had the light on I ran over because

202
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:11,000
I just thought that the reason the whole world didn't know Jesus was because they didn't know

203
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,040
like I didn't know wow that kind of love right I didn't know he could give you a brand new start

204
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,440
like that and so I ran over I knocked on my neighbor's house it was about six in the morning or

205
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,280
something as he was getting ready for work and he opens the door he said Patricia are you okay

206
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:29,240
what's the matter and I said I'm great last night Jesus came into my heart and he forgave me of all

207
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,560
my sin and he can do it for you too would you like him and he looked at me like holy shock because

208
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:39,000
we had been big party people and stuff like that you know drug users and stuff yes right are you

209
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:46,760
okay have you gone crazy and I said no no I was crazy but now I'm not crazy and you know so anyways

210
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,960
he did not get it but I didn't care I just I had so much love for him and for everyone in my

211
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,440
neighbors I mean I loved everything I mean it was just like I couldn't help it and that day I went to

212
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:01,000
my new age friends later on told them what had happened I said you don't have to search for anything

213
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:07,080
or anyone anymore Jesus is the one and he is the one and they said well well you know how do you

214
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,920
know that I said because he forgave me of all my sin he came into my life he gave me a brand new

215
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,000
life and they looked at me so strange and they said well you're not trying to tell us he's the only

216
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,160
way I say yeah you don't have to look for anything else all those ridiculous things that we've been

217
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,640
doing and holding our breath and going off into la la la and we don't have to do that anymore

218
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,360
because he is the answer and they were just like they got upset with me they said you can't say

219
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:33,640
like how do you know he's the only way and I I said well the Bible says so and I had never read

220
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:39,960
the Bible yet but I just assumed it says so and I said the Bible the Bible anyone can write a Bible

221
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,920
you know it's just people writing the stories or whatever and I said well I just know I just know

222
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:50,600
that I know that I know I know or know and so I felt so much love for them they were so angry at me

223
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:56,040
but I couldn't help because I just love I mean nothing landed and I preached the gospel every

224
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,920
day I mean that's what I found out it was afterwards all I was doing is sharing what happened with me

225
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,400
and offering it to everyone else and people were getting saved on the street and giving their lives

226
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:12,840
to Jesus it was so amazing so that was my introduction to Jesus and I fell in love I was

227
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:19,560
completely smitten and overwhelmed by his love and to this day to agree yes I totally he just gets

228
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,920
better and better and if there's anyone watching right now and you don't know Jesus I'm telling you

229
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,760
he is that good I am not exaggerating in fact I agree yes I can't even describe to you the

230
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,240
greatness of who he is and you just call on his name because what he did for me what he did for

231
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:41,320
Christa what he did for Sean yes he'll do for you too yes oh and you know what I love Patricia

232
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:46,520
everything you're describing that original revelation that original encounter with Jesus

233
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,960
of his love that's literally you today as I was laughing because I was like that never left

234
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:58,360
and that shows how real it is that shows you how authentic Jesus is is because if that wasn't

235
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:03,800
actually real or Jesus that would have dissipated years ago when people got mad at you were upset

236
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,120
you would have like toned it down you were like no no this is not an option like this isn't just

237
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:12,200
you know this is a decision one day and it changes the next day you're like I'm forever

238
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:18,120
changed I've been forgiven I've been set free and you are you are like you're like walking

239
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:24,120
liquid love with Jesus I mean that's literally who you are and so I just smiled so big because I was

240
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:29,560
like oh my gosh you've never changed and that's the beauty that's the beauty it's like Sean's

241
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:37,320
testimony was the Lord the Jesus showed up in his room and he he was so full of gratitude my husband

242
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,880
such a natural worship or all he does is talk about how grateful he is to God it's that initial

243
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,480
encounter he's never changed he's doing the same thing he did from day one of encountering Jesus

244
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,600
and so are you and I just love that because the first thing someone feels when they're around you

245
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:58,360
Patricia is a love of Jesus and it's like exactly what he marked you with you know and so I just our

246
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:03,880
listeners what I love is you said is there any limits I love that you know when you were listening

247
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,440
to other people's testimonies you're like uh and you're comparing your story to their story and

248
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:14,200
you're like man is there is there a cap is there a time where God goes ah there's no cap there's no

249
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:20,600
limit and you you model that I model that Sean models that and so many other we model there is no

250
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:26,280
limit to the love of Jesus and for everyone that's watching right now we honestly from the bottom of

251
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,800
our hearts we want you to know that because he loves you so deeply and he's not looking at all the

252
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:38,280
mistakes and the flaws and the ugliness you know you know he can transform you and for me like it wasn't

253
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:43,720
like I have that initial visitation but there was things I had to work out and there was over the

254
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:49,080
years you know the discipline of the Lord and I'm a well-disciplined child I've been taken out to the

255
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:55,560
the witch a few times because that's what love will do right and it's like we are forever being

256
00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:02,040
transformed so like you know it's just like one degree of glory to another and he's so patient

257
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:08,520
like he's been so patient and so kind and so wonderful and you know he is love for stuff oh my

258
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,640
goodness yes and he said that in the new testament is in the old testament of course we have the

259
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,600
lausmosis and they're awesome those commandments are amazing I love them but they're fulfilled in love

260
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,160
so like we don't have to think oh I've got to obey this I gotta obey that we just have one we just

261
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,280
have one love God love others it's all wrapped up in love and that all the law and all the prophets

262
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,920
is fulfilled in that so in the new testament all we have to do is receive more love so we can be

263
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:38,280
more love right that's it more love so yeah be more love and that's it and then all those other

264
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:44,760
commandments are in that it's so amazing I love it I love that and so well said because it's not

265
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,480
it breaks out works mentality when it comes from a place of love when people think man I can't do

266
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,720
that you're right we can't do that we can't love other people that are hard to love we can't even

267
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,760
love ourselves we're not even able to love God unless God puts his love within us right there's

268
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,800
so many stoppers and hindrances until the love of God is encountered in our lives and it's through

269
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:09,000
his love that heals us it transforms us it sets us free and it's through that revelation and

270
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,520
encounter with the love of God everything changes and our ability to love that that is such an

271
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:20,440
increase of our capacity you know and so I always I marvel at my ability to navigate situations

272
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,840
that are maybe difficult but it's through the love of God that I'm able to approach it and

273
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,840
my goodness I've seen you do that you approach hard situations but you're able to do so with

274
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:34,040
such a love because of the love that you're filled with and so my goodness is love the answer to

275
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,960
navigate a hard world absolutely you know it loves the answer to navigate hard people and hard

276
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,520
situations the more love the easier it is to navigate and so maybe there's some people listening

277
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:49,800
today that just need to be reminded just the simplicity but the profoundness and life changing

278
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,680
encounter of the love of God like you can't have you can't you can never have too much love right

279
00:23:54,680 --> 00:24:00,280
never it'll change you and love also because I'm just sensing when someone might be thinking yeah

280
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,240
but you know sometimes you have to you know be strong and confront things and yeah love will

281
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:10,440
confront but it's different but if you confront outside of love so if you do need to confront

282
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,400
make sure your heart's full of love for the person first and because confrontation will save them from

283
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,040
hard things from destructive things and you know I mean we we all you know fail and fall

284
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:25,640
turn different areas but when we love one another we'll help each other through so good I love that

285
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,560
I think someone did need to hear that I mean I need to hear that right we all need to hear

286
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,200
just that truth on the love of God you know Patricia you wrote a powerful book and what I

287
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:39,720
love is your prophet and so when a prophet writes a book it's not just a book project I really believe

288
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,760
it's the word of the Lord and there is probably a story that led you or a prompting from the Lord

289
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,320
that led you to even write this book the book's called Unoffendable we're going to tell you ways

290
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,160
at the end of the podcast how to get that book how to order that book I want that in everyone's

291
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,800
hands Sean and I have a copy we're reading it right right now that's why we're like we got to get

292
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,520
her on the podcast because it's such a profound message what was the process the Lord took you

293
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:08,520
through you knew this had to be written to a book yeah right so I think it's really important

294
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:14,920
Christa as prophets that we we discern the times right that we we have eyes to see um what is

295
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,560
happening not only in the natural but what what is happening on a spiritual plane and then know

296
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:27,320
what to do to lead the people into a place of safety and blessing right so when when 2020 hit

297
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:33,160
it was very clear that we were entering into a new era not just a new year a new era and it was

298
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:41,160
an era transition and very soon into 2023 of course we got hit with COVID that year was pivotal on

299
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:47,160
so many different levels because we had COVID with all the with all the complications of it the

300
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,880
intricacies of it the way it was handled and people's opinions on it and everything and then we had a

301
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:59,160
lot of death from it we had racial tensions that year we had conflicts on every side we had an

302
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:05,000
election year where the campaigning was very volatile and it was just a really big big year

303
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,200
on many fronts and what the Lord showed me and many others I'm not claiming that I may only want

304
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:16,920
to see things like this of course you know because God will reveal it all too many but I saw a principality

305
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:23,640
of fear and offense just come in like a floodgate it was like a principality it was yes powerful

306
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:29,640
ruling forces not just an attitude of fear or an attitude of offense it was ruling forces of fear

307
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,680
and offense and you almost didn't need spiritual discernment to see it because it was just everywhere

308
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,440
you could see it on the news broadcast you could see it everywhere including the church so on social

309
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:47,080
media especially there was so much offense and hatred and discord that was shared that I know for

310
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:52,600
myself there was you know at least two or three posts that I had to take down completely and they

311
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:58,120
were really safe posts in the natural yeah what happened here but someone would be offended with

312
00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:03,240
what was said and they would state it in anger and then someone would be offended with what they said

313
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:09,560
and then the next person was offended with what they said so 50 60 comments down right on one

314
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:15,400
thing there was this offense offense offense so I had noticed it and we were praying into it praying

315
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,440
for God's love to permeate and trying to address some of the issues so that we could see safety for

316
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:27,400
the people of God but in December of that year God really got my heart he started speaking to me

317
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:33,320
about about the power of offense and he said would you be willing to live an unoffendable life

318
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:40,280
and I thought yeah I mean I didn't think I was offendable like sure I I thought I was very careful

319
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:47,000
not to take offense until I was and then it was like within 24 hours of that invitation I give God

320
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,520
a big yes you know I was driving down the highway and I was getting offended with the car in front

321
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,000
of me with the driver in front of me because he was in the passing lane and he wasn't going the

322
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,280
speed limit and so I was offended with it and no one was in the car with him he couldn't hear me

323
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:07,320
but I actually yelled at him and offense was coming out of my mouth I heard it myself and the Holy

324
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:13,320
Spirit sitting beside me said yeah that's what I'm talking about oh man oh man I'm getting convicted

325
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:22,040
right now Patricia because I'm a bay area driver oh man this is good I found myself offended in the

326
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:29,960
grocery store I've even watching tv with one of the characters in the drama I was watching I got

327
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,840
offended with that and he said you know I mean this is just a story it's not even a real scenario

328
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:40,440
sure that's what your heart and he said I want to teach you how to speak the truth in love how to

329
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:46,200
address issues of justice but in love and not with offense because the moment you step into offense

330
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:53,000
you have dissipated the strength of the truth you have compromised and you've got threads of evil

331
00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:01,080
inside of it that that take away the power of who I am and so I was really convicted and began to get

332
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:06,200
more understanding the Lord actually showed me christen that there's five five just elements

333
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:12,360
of sin transgressions five transgressions inside of every single offense and so if there's consequence

334
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:17,160
for every trans transgression that's a lot of consequence that hits your life in other words

335
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:22,360
when you enter into offense you are not only feeling the atmosphere with some nasty you are

336
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:28,600
also filling your life with landing strips for the enemy to really make your life miserable and

337
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,880
we just accept it as part of like our culture something you know it's okay I'm just offended

338
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,920
you know but it is not okay to be offense because in the passion translation I believe it is one of

339
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,640
the definitions of love is it doesn't take offense and by the way if you're offended you've taken it

340
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,440
it's not given you can't say or someone made me offended no if you're offended you took offense

341
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:55,720
and so we have to be responsible for that offense and so we are really working especially in the

342
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,600
prophetic because you and I are both prophets and so it's really important that we don't prophesy

343
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,880
out of offense and what the Lord shows so good is is that when you step inside of offense especially

344
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:12,360
like let's take one example because we're in an election year coming up soon um campaigning is going

345
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:18,440
to be starting soon um on the political level if you are offended as a prophet and you step inside

346
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:24,680
of it you can get into a deception through the offense and end up prophesying words that you

347
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:29,720
think are true but they're actually coming from a cesspool of devotion because you went inside

348
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,200
of the offense and you start prophesy out of personal offense political offense and the Lord

349
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,200
showed me this because I was wondering Lord there's been so many political prophecies that didn't

350
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:44,120
happen to pass right what what is that right like what what happened you know I want to know so that

351
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:49,720
we can be protected not so that we can condemn or right to be judgmental or anything but just what

352
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:57,080
happened learn yeah so it's like this is a really big deal if we are going to see a harvest if we're

353
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:03,320
going to see um the increased um revival that that's already happening right now um we need to be

354
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:08,840
committed to this love walk and love is not offended oh my goodness you said so many truths I mean

355
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:14,440
because I'm trying to make sure I'm not interrupting you too much on the inside Patricia I'm shouting

356
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:20,360
you down I mean what you said was so profound and I really want to echo this one statement you said

357
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,200
because I want our listeners to really grab ahold of it and correct me if I'm saying this wrong

358
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:29,880
but I heard you say that if we take offense it dissipates the strength of truth and that to me

359
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:37,640
is so huge because we not only will minimize who God is it taints who God is in us but it also

360
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:43,160
actually deconstructs the strength of God's truth and I think that we have to understand the ripple

361
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:49,160
effect of it's not just us being offended in a moment or toward a situation but actually what

362
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:56,760
comes out of us is now tainted with this spirit of offense and that to me is such a key um of us

363
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:03,480
understanding the the negative power of offense right and so for us to be so intentional about

364
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:09,080
not allowing that thing into our lives so what you were sharing Patricia my goodness there were so

365
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:14,360
many profound elements in what you were sharing you talked about the five transgressions in every

366
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,680
offense I know the listeners are like I need to understand that can you break that down because I

367
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:23,640
was certainly like I we got to understand kind of the fullness and the depth of what offense looks

368
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:29,640
like in our lives I know it really helps actually when you know how awful it is yes right it keeps

369
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:36,440
you from from entering into it but um yeah so the first one that the Lord showed me was anger so in

370
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:43,160
every in every offense there is a level of anger in it it could be from being slightly miffed all

371
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:48,520
the way through to full on rage right but there is a level of anger there now in James it says that

372
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:55,240
the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God right so in Romans one we see that God

373
00:32:55,240 --> 00:33:01,000
has wrath which is anger he has wrath but what is it against it's the unrighteousness and the

374
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:06,680
ungodliness of man so he has it against the transgression not against the person when Jesus

375
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:13,320
died on the cross he died for all mankind so it's it's like he loves every single person and he's

376
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:19,640
not angry per se at people but he's angry at the transgressions and that's really important that we

377
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,440
keep that separate because when we're talking about being unoffendable we're we're needing to

378
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:31,320
position ourselves so that we can execute justice in a very real way without having the anger of

379
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:36,200
man fueling it so I like to give the example of when I first went to Bangkok Thailand the Lord had

380
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,360
had called me in a fair time he said I want you to go to Bangkok I'm going to teach you some things

381
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:46,600
about sex tourism sex trafficking that and and so I went in obedience to him took a friend with me

382
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,960
met some missionaries over there that we knew and the first night that we arrived we went over dinner

383
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,360
in a restaurant and we were in a neighborhood where there was brothels I mean they're everywhere but

384
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:01,160
they were right next door to the restaurant there and there was a man a western man in about his

385
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:07,480
mid 50s sitting there with a Thai girl who was maybe 15 she looked like about 14 15 yeah she was

386
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:13,240
a little bit older but I could tell what was going on there he had bothered for the night and I got

387
00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:19,880
angry right away and I was angry at him you know I thought this is disgusting that you would go over

388
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:25,480
here and do what you're doing to this young girl right and I was just thinking how can I grab her

389
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:32,360
and put her in safety and give him some five-fold ministry and I was just stirred on the inside

390
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:38,360
but then the Lord said I want to show you something and he gave me words of knowledge Christa on what

391
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:43,160
had happened to that man when he was a little boy and it was clear as crystal and I all of a sudden

392
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,960
had compassion for him because he was abused and and then he showed me throughout his life that he

393
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,600
always wanted to be loved but never felt loved and so his purpose in going to Thailand was that he

394
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:58,200
could maybe with no one watching just kind of have that hole in his heart build somehow and so now

395
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,920
I'm emotionally a wreck because I've got compassion for him now and compassion for the girl but I've

396
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,680
still got this anger and I don't know what to do with that and the Lord said I'll show you what to

397
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,600
do with it because as long as you have anger towards him you are not going to be able to help

398
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:17,000
this situation but I'm going to show you just to to go after the truth and to go after the enemy

399
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:24,840
in this and to not be fueled by offense or anger that is unholy and so long story short that was

400
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:30,680
our call actually into dealing with anti-trafficking and stuff like that and we had you know tremendous

401
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,160
success and fruit in it but we had to learn how to rightly divide it because we've led

402
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,360
traffickers through the Lord not only rescued people who have been trafficked but we've we've

403
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:45,560
actually led traffickers through the Lord we've you know ministered to sex tourists and not them

404
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,040
rescued out of the stuff so it's like we wouldn't have been able to do that if we didn't settle the

405
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:57,320
issue on the inside so Paul said in Ephesians 4 26 and 27 out of the amplified he said be angry

406
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:04,840
and then he says how at sin at immorality at injustice at ungodly behavior yet do not sin

407
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:10,440
right be angry at those things but do not sin so as soon as you cross over into an offense toward

408
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:16,040
the sinner you have transgressed okay so that's so good offended and anger is at work and the

409
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:21,640
consequence of that anger is at work the second one is bitterness and it says in Hebrews 12 15

410
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,920
that um that when there's a bitter root it will defile many and when you're bitter it's the opposite

411
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,560
of sweet so like when I was getting ready for the podcast today Christa I got hardly wait because I

412
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:37,800
like when I think of you or Sean I feel like happy thoughts right right but like if you're bitter

413
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:44,760
towards someone it's like oh I don't know I gotta see them oh sure we've got that right so that's

414
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:50,280
how I gauge bitter sweet is a lot of times like what is my what is my you know emotional thermometer

415
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:56,360
doing there and um and so the problem with bitterness and the problem with offense is we don't keep it

416
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:01,720
to ourselves because we want everyone else to be on the stage so we'll say did you hear about Johnny

417
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:05,960
so-and-so and what he did is not disgusting because you're offended with him now you want everyone

418
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:12,280
to be able to sing as you do so and so it defiles many and whole churches can be divided because

419
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:17,160
of offense it spreads like angry it's actually worse than a virus it's worse than a global

420
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:22,840
pandemic in the natural it just spreads like wildfire and social media can spread it really fast

421
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:28,600
oh my goodness the third one is judgment so um Matthew 7 verse 1 and 2 says that when we judge

422
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:33,560
we're going to be judged by the same measure so I can't afford that you know like I don't want to

423
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:39,640
be under judgment and um I love the story of how Jesus handled it when we see the woman who is cut

424
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,600
in the act of adultery right so the scenario is Jesus is in the temple and he's teaching and the

425
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:50,680
scribes and Pharisees are offended with them they are offended with them so their offense is saying oh

426
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:55,480
we're gonna get him good we're gonna we're gonna put him in a position where we're gonna be able to

427
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,720
take him down so that's where their offense led them so they bring up this woman who's caught in

428
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:04,040
adultery they're offended with Jesus and they're offended with the woman and they say Jesus the

429
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:09,080
law says that because we caught her in adultery that we're just stone such one they've got stones

430
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:14,040
in the hand what do you say so he says nothing you know he just starts writing something in dirt

431
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,520
and then they're still going at him what do you say you know what are you gonna answer us and he's

432
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:24,280
just silent but when he finally does speak he he doesn't enter into critical judgment he just speaks

433
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:30,280
the truth so he says you who are without sin cast the first stone he doesn't judge them for their

434
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:37,480
stinking attitudes right he doesn't do that he just calls it for what it is he says okay I'm gonna

435
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:42,760
uphold the law I'm not against the law of Moses I'll uphold that so if you're without sin you can

436
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,240
throw their stones so they had to drop their stones and leave and that was interesting because now

437
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:51,400
everyone in the courtyard who watched that who they were hoping would be on their side is now

438
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,080
looking at them saying what their sinners are just admitting that they dropped their stones on the

439
00:38:55,080 --> 00:39:00,920
left right right so now Jesus is there with a woman caught in adultery and he says where are

440
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,400
your accusers and she says there's none he says well I don't accuse you either I don't damn you I

441
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:10,840
don't judge you either but he could have the one who could have because mercy triumphs over judge but

442
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:17,800
then he says okay go and sin no more so he wasn't soft on sin at all right Jesus was never soft on

443
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:25,560
sin but he he released mercy triumphs over judgment there's no critical judgment inside of love it's

444
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:31,640
like like there's a discernment there's a statement of judging a situation or judging good and evil

445
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,920
but it is without offense it is just speaking the truth and love which Jesus did so I love that

446
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:43,560
unforgiveness is the fourth one and in Matthew 18 21 to 35 we see that whole scenario played out

447
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:49,240
because in in offense if you're offended there is unforgiveness inside of it you can't be forgiving

448
00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:55,240
and and offended at the same time if you've got any kind of offense there there is a level of

449
00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:59,880
unforgiveness there because when you've forgiven the offense goes that's right okay so you can still

450
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:05,480
say the situation is wrong this was a wrong decision that you made um this is a hurtful decision but

451
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:11,080
it's without offense because there's forgiveness right and if you are unforgiving whoa the consequence

452
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,240
of that one is big time you know you live in torment with it right and then the fifth one is

453
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:21,080
pride there's always an element of pride inside of offense because you you you can't offend and

454
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,840
being in a servant role you're in a condescending position you're looking down on the one that

455
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:31,560
you're offended so pride is fifth one and it says pride comes before what of all yeah that's a big

456
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:37,560
consequence so I want to stay away from offense at all costs because a lot of it is selfish I don't

457
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:43,560
want the offense of it right but the other part of it is I just want to be like Jesus right he's

458
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:49,320
never been offended with me he has addressed many issues in my life of course and and you know corrected

459
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:54,280
me and brought discipline to me and spoke truth to me and confronted me and I welcome all that but

460
00:40:54,280 --> 00:41:00,280
he's never been offended with me and and he's never been offended with you he loves you and and if

461
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,760
you're you know watching right now he's without offense he just loves you so much he will speak

462
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:09,080
the truth and love you but he um he will never be offended with you my goodness that is that's

463
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:13,560
profound I know people are probably ordering the book right now unoffendable by Patricia King you

464
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:18,280
know I just I know many people are like I hear it I don't want anything to do with it you've

465
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:23,400
convinced me Patricia I need to get a fresh revelation of what it is to not be offended to

466
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,440
not be petty that's another common word that's kind of trendy right now I'm just being a little

467
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,840
petty but petty is rooted in offense you know it doesn't have to be this massive thing it can be

468
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:37,560
this small little pebble but if you have a lot of pebbles over time they become a big boulder

469
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,880
they become that big rock when you add it all together how can someone that's listening today

470
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:46,280
and they've had that kind of revelation their eyes have been open to this and now they're seeing

471
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,920
offense in their heart they're like oh my gosh I am offended I didn't even realize I was offended

472
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:55,240
how do they combat that what do they do with current offense that they're finding in their heart

473
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:59,640
by even listening to this episode today sure well let me give you a few little things but there's

474
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:05,400
more in the book or helping people come into a place where they can soar in being unoffendable

475
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:11,880
but um if you are hungry to be unoffendable you are already stepping over that line into living

476
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:18,120
an unoffendable life it's just your desire for it so when I gave God my yes I came under connection

477
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:23,560
within 24 hours he's showing the areas where I'm offended in and so when he did that when when God

478
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:28,520
shows you because as soon as you as soon as you get an understanding on being offended you'll see

479
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,480
it everywhere you know so when you see it in yourself when you see it in yourself and he's

480
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:38,840
convicting you right away say God I'm so sorry and I repent from this which means to change your

481
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:43,480
mind about it make a turn in a different direction and I just replace this with love right now I

482
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:48,760
receive your forgiveness I replace it with love so when I first was walking with God in this um I

483
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:55,560
was convicted three four sometimes more times a day I mean I had no idea what a sin sure I did it I

484
00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:01,880
get it yes but then over time I I felt myself I could go a whole week without even being convicted

485
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:07,400
once right right I can catch it as soon as I am now I can catch up because you're aware of it right

486
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,720
and it's really helpful but the more that you repent from it receive forgiveness from it and

487
00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:17,240
and just be committed to it the the better that you will um or the easier you'll be able to identify

488
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:21,320
and stay away from it and it gets longer periods and and you'll start to see it in others like you

489
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,960
were talking about being petty earlier yeah well you see can you imagine the things that we even think

490
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:31,640
are big issues God sees as petty right so it's like that's it is mine and so we can ask him for that

491
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:36,440
that's another thing is ask him God I want to feel about things like you did like Jesus on the cross

492
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,680
right think about Jesus on the cross he wasn't offended with one person he wasn't looking over the

493
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:45,880
crowd of sinners everyone that he had beated and saying you know what I've got an offense with you

494
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:51,160
that is really hard for me to overcome here and so I don't know maybe I'll forgive you later no

495
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:57,080
he just said father forgive them all you know forgive them all and he didn't hold any offense

496
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,400
and he loved them all and then he gave himself for everyone and will sometimes think if we're

497
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:06,200
hurt by someone we think well God's for me but he's against them because they're my enemy no he is

498
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:12,040
actually for them even the person that you you feel really you know gross about you know you think

499
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:16,840
oh God's got to be upset with him he's got to you know despise him like I despise him no he

500
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:21,880
actually loves him and wants him set free so if you ask God for his heart say God I want to see

501
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,520
people as you see them I want to see situations the way that you see them yeah I want to be a

502
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:31,640
solution I want to be a solution to the problem I don't want to just you know I mean anyone can

503
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:36,440
you know rumble and complain and now I want to be a solution so if you ask God to see a situation

504
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,920
where he sees a he will and then just invite the Lord to ill you with love and in uh first

505
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:48,040
Corinthians 14 one Paul said let love be your greatest aim and I find like I deliberately make

506
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:53,240
learning to love like my greatest aim I've got a long way to go but when when you make it your aim

507
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:58,120
when you make it your goal in life you can move towards that and it's it's it's really awesome

508
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:02,360
making that quality decision because actually we only have one man to fulfill and that's love that's

509
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:07,400
that's it so if we make it our aim it puts everything else in place you know Pritchard I tell you what

510
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:12,840
I'm thinking to myself is you're just sharing such nuggets of wisdom such truth and revelation

511
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:18,520
there's a healthy conviction you know that I think a lot of our listeners are feeling even myself

512
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:24,040
and I think we all just need to go spend some time with Jesus because there's just that response

513
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:29,160
from this word that you want to really just get your heart clean before the Lord because we're

514
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:34,920
such a pivotal time in history we're seeing such a beautiful move of God and yet what an assignment

515
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:40,040
from the enemy to rob so many people from from what's available right now to how to partner with

516
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:44,760
God right now and what God's doing it's like I don't want to miss anything and offense is one of

517
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:49,640
those things that such a robber of what God's doing and so I think probably myself and so many

518
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,880
other people are like oh my gosh Lord clean my heart and so you gave us such truth but you

519
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:59,160
also also gave us that practical application of what to be aware of but then also how to walk

520
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:03,480
through it and then not partner with it and I love just you even sharing the first just when

521
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:09,000
you were really beginning the process of walking out what it is to be unoffendable first few days

522
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,480
was like maybe three four times a day but then there was a week that would go by and then a longer

523
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:18,280
amount of time and that's so encouraging because I think the more intentional we are the more quick

524
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:23,320
we are to be able to discern you know I'm not taking that bait I'm not I'm not taking that

525
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:28,120
bait of offense I am actually going to align myself with the love of God and ask for a greater

526
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:33,960
increase and impartation of love of God in my life that's life changing um you know so so grateful

527
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:39,400
for what you share today I mean just truth and revelation I know some people want to hear more

00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:15,560
prophetic voices you're a prophet we lean into we listen to uh we certainly really pay attention to

545
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:21,880
what the Lord says through you you operate from such a place of love but you also you never waiver

546
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:28,280
from the truth but it's always uh such it's marinated in so much love um that I just feel

547
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:34,040
like you really model uh Jesus really well and I always point people towards your prophetic voice

548
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:38,840
and how the Lord ministers through you and in you and so if I can do that for the keep it 100 tribe

549
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:43,080
where I just say hey you know really get connected with Patricia what she carries what she's releasing

550
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:48,680
she's truly she's one that walks with Jesus and we want to have those voices speaking into our

551
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:54,120
lives to disciple us because we all want to go deeper with the Lord but he uses you so profoundly

552
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:59,080
is there anything else you want to release before we sign up on this podcast zero pressure but just

553
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:03,880
always give people the opportunity just to say any last thing burning your heart for our listeners

554
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:09,640
yeah thank you so much Christa and um you know I feel such honor towards you and Sean as well it's

555
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:16,360
just a mutual adoration society here when you're in Jesus there's so much to love about one another

556
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:21,960
right but um I just want you all to know that this is a journey and I'm still on this journey big

557
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:27,400
time that's good and when you're when you're growing in the Lord um give yourself lots of grace

558
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,320
you know give yourself lots of grace I just feel like someone needs to to hear that there's someone

559
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:36,440
watching right now that you are you're self-critical and um you've got offense towards yourself

560
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,920
and God wants out lift it off because he just loves you so much and he wants you to see yourself

561
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:47,000
the way he sees you and when you just draw near to God he will lead you and guide you and he will

562
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:51,800
he will just put grace on you that will enable you to do better and better and better and it just

563
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:57,480
is so beautiful the way he does that so take the pressure off yourself and know that hey this is a

564
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:03,080
journey I've got a long way to go in learning how to love and being unoffendable I still catch myself

565
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:07,960
time to time stepping over a line into offense but when you have people around you that love you

566
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:13,400
and say hey that sounds like offense me you know it's so so good right so I would just like to

567
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:18,760

so rich in your life all I got to say is that I told you that was gonna be powerful oh my goodness

576
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:09,000
such a key word right I mean we have to learn what it is to be unoffendable it's when she talked

577
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:14,360
about that element where it literally pulls away from the strength and the true character of who God

578
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:19,400
is right it pulls away from the depiction of God and I think that that's what's so key is we understand

579
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:25,880
that offense not only takes away from us but it pulls away from our witness of God and man that is

580
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,480
a sobering reality and she breaks down the transgression I mean it's so powerful I mean she

581
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,320
has an e-course available I want to jump in that I'm certainly in the middle of reading the book

582
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:39,080
myself and I'm just so excited to keep it wanted to try and got exposed to this word because it's

583
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:45,160
such a prophetic word for now friends grab this word share this podcast this is a word that needs

584
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:50,120
to go forth we need people to get a revelation we must be unoffendable in a time where the enemy

585
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:55,720
wants to throw that bait your way absolutely I 100% agree with that and I just say keep 100

586
00:51:55,720 --> 00:52:02,120
tribe right now imagine that there is this scale of zero to ten where ten is everything

587
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:08,040
caused you to fly off the handle everything causes you to become salty causes you to become petty

588
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:13,800
causes you to go in a road rage that's ten on the scale zero is nothing offend you we want to

589
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:19,400
challenge you today as a takeaway to live as close to zero unoffendable determine right now

590
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:24,920
that you're not going to take the bait the Greek word literally for offense comes from the almost

591
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:31,080
like the part of a mousetrap where the bait is and so that's the term don't take the bait choose to

592
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:35,720
walk in love choose to not be offended and maybe right now there could be someone that the Lord

593
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:40,600
is challenging you to forgive that maybe you've held a grudge you've had resentment and you might

594
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,840
even feel justified in it but we just want to challenge you right now forgive because you

595
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:51,400
got to remember number one you do not stand in a place of ultimate judgment God does and nor

596
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:58,680
can you carry the weight of what it takes to judge someone's soul it has collateral damage the

597

Bible is very clear so we just want to challenge you to love challenge you to forgive and to move
