No. [Music] Hi, this is Trina Olsen with Radical Launch International Ministries. I am excited to bring you, oh, the word of God. Come on, like I had an encounter that I just want to share with you, and it correlates with some scriptures that I want to share with you. Like, God is in the encounters. God is in showing you what to do and what not to do, if we just listen. And we just have to just bow our knees to Him and not to the world. Doesn't mean we can't use people in the world to help guide us and direct us back to Him. You know, but this is amazing.
So I just want to share with you, um, God gave me this scripture, um, John 17:4. And this is Jesus speaking. He says, "I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began." Oh, yeah.
I had an encounter a few years ago. Yeah, I had an encounter about a year and a half ago. I was driving up through Tennessee, and I had been in a, a pack of cars that were speeding, and it was, there was no room for error, you know. And everyone was speeding, and probably going about 80 miles an hour, so at least 10 miles over the speed limit. And, um, and it was just, we were just traveling like, you just couldn't slow down, you would have got run over, you know.
And how many times we get caught up in what the world is doing? Yeah. How many times we get caught up when everyone else is doing and thinking it's okay? It's not okay, you know. We, we have to stand and be accountable someday for what we do. And so in this encounter, this was real life, and it was manifesting in my life. And so I'm driving, and, and also, all of a sudden, I noticed that my, my gas gauge was falling down. And so I knew I needed to jump off the highway to go get gas. And I felt like there was a gas station off this next exit. And it was, um, an exit that really wrapped. It was an exit that wrapped around. And so I, I jump off the exit, and all of a sudden, I lose my commitment. So you can't go back on. And, uh, I saw all the traffic backing up on the exit, and I knew that I could not get stopped in time before I would hit all those cars. And everyone else was struggling to get stopped. What do you do? You know, what do you do in that moment when you know that if you don't get stopped, you're going to be kissing the engine in the car in front of you? Yes. That's how bad this was going to be. And in that moment, I don't know why or how, but I just knew that something supernatural happened in my life. And I, I have lost my commitment to get back in the highway. And so I get back in, I merge right back in, I go across the gravel, cross that little, you know, divide, and, and I'm able to get back in the highway. And no one has an accident. No one squeals their tires. No one beeps their horn. It was supernatural. It was like angels provided a place for me to get my car back in. And I'm driving, and just as soon as I'm, you know, I have a moment, and, and I hear God in an almost audible voice, and it was so clear. And He said, "Did you finish what you were called to, man?" I remember that moment like it was yesterday. And I said, "No, no, I did not finish what I was called to." And I, you know, I slowed down, and I, I thank God for giving me the ability to get through that. And, you know, life goes on.
You know, about a month later, I'm in Brazil. And, and God says, "Hey, I want you to take your, your playlist on your phone, and I want you to go, and I want you to go spend some time with me. Put on some good worship and go sit by the pool and then just enjoy the day." You know, "I just want you to take a break." And so I did that because I love the pool. And my Father knows that, his daughter loves to go swimming and spend time in the sun. But He also knows I love to worship Him more than anything. So I'm laying there on this chair by the pool, and I put my headsets in, and I put on this amazing playlist, and I go out into the spirit. And I'm not kidding you, this was the most amazing, incredible experience I've ever encountered in my life. And I feel like it will talk to you. And I pray that my testimony will be the wings for you to get up and go and do the greater with God also.
So in this encounter, I am seeing this little girl when she's running across the field. And as she's running across the field, um, I realize it's me. And I'm probably about somewhere between 12 and 15 years old in the encounter. And, um, and all of a sudden, I'm in the body. So, you know, like Paul said, "in the body or out of the body, I don't know." But so I was out of the body, and then I was in the body. And I'm looking up, and I'm looking up at this beautiful sky. And this beautiful cloud forms an eye. And, and in it is these beautiful sun rays. It comes out of like the, the pupil area, and it's this piercing, this beautiful sun rays coming down. And it encapsulates me. It raptures me. God enraptured me in that moment. And He pulled me into Him. And I was drawn up into heaven. In the body or out of the body, I don't know. But I know that I was just having an amazing encounter with the Father. And I was enjoying this warmth, this love that I've not ever encountered. I'm not kidding you. I don't think I've ever felt what I felt in that moment. And so He draws us into Him. And He pulled me up into Him. And as I'm drawn up into heaven, in this encounter, up and through this eye, all of a sudden, the next thing I know is I am standing in heaven. And right behind me is Jesus on the cross. So God, take me back into time. There is no time or distance in the spirit. There is no time or distance in the spirit. I want you to understand that. And so I see Jesus on the cross, and He's behind me. And all of a sudden, I'm drawn up into the cross. We were crucified with Him. In that last moment, in that last breath that Jesus had, I'm pulled up into Him. Just like everyone else was pulled up into Him. All of our sins, all of our sicknesses, all of our diseases, everything was pulled up in Him in that moment. And I died with Him on the cross. Scripture says that we were, we were, we died with Him. They pull us off the cross. I'm inside of Jesus. And I believe many of you are, all were inside of Jesus in that moment. And then pulled down off the cross with Him. And they take us to the tomb, and they lay us down. And I'm inside of Jesus. And all of a sudden, the tomb, the stone is rolled across. And in that moment, I realized scripture says that we died with Him, we were buried with Him. I was buried with Him in that moment. The next thing I know is Him and I were standing beside each other. And we're standing there. And in an instant, we're in hell. I could smell it. I could feel it. I knew where we were. It was a horrible stench. You could feel the heat. You knew where you were. And it was only for a moment. And He hands me a set of keys. Yeah. He hands me the keys to my life, to my destiny. And, and I realized as I grabbed a hold of this set of keys, it was like on an old, like gold ring with like skeleton kind of keys. And as I grabbed a hold of this key ring, instantly I knew that these were the keys that Adam and Eve lost, that were mine. The keys that they lost, that Jesus went to get. These were my set of keys for my destiny, to unlock my destiny. Yes.
Was it Isaiah 22:22 that the Key of David is on His shoulders to unlock the doors that no man will, um, close and to close doors that no man will open? Maybe possibly. But in an instant, as soon as I grabbed all of those keys, we're back into the tomb. And I'm, I'm like, "Where, where did it go?" I was by myself. I felt like alone. But a new, wait a minute. No, I'm not alone this time. He's in me. Renewed mine. Jesus lives in me. All the hope of glory. He gives me a full measure of His joy. I was resurrected with Him. Yeah. I'm living out the scriptures. It was amazing in this encounter. And all of a sudden, I knew that these keys unlock the tomb. And so I went and unlocked the tomb. And as I unlocked the tomb, this bright white light just encapsulated me again. And it pulled me out. I was renewed. I was refreshed. I was in a heavenly place, like a place that you never could even imagine. A place that was beyond what your imagination could ever dare dream or imagine. I felt a love that I never felt before. I felt a warmth and an acceptance I've never experienced before. And all of a sudden, I look to my right, and the Father, Father God, was off His throne, and He was running towards me. He was running towards His daughter. The prodigal daughter was coming home. Oh my gosh. Like when He grabbed me, He twirled me around in circles. We were both running to each other. And as I was embraced by Him, He twirled me around in that moment. I am embraced by the Father. The Father of all fathers embraces me. Embraces His daughter. Like, I think every part of my body came alive. I felt that I was created for that moment. That I was always created for that moment. And in that moment, what comes to my mind is an encounter I had with God years ago. And in this encounter, He said, "Trina," He says, "What if I didn't go against your will when I brought you to Earth? What if you played a part of it? And what if you had a yes? And what if your yes said, 'Yes, I will be the daughter to Dot and James Olson. I will be their little girl that they don't know they're going to conceive yet.'" And I said, "Yes." And God put me in the womb and allowed me to be their daughter. And He said these words before He departed from me in that moment. And He said, "Will you overcome everything the enemy throws your way to make your way back to me, and I make my way back to you?" And what if I said, "Yes"? And in that moment, I felt like that yes came alive in my heart. That I overcame everything the enemy thrown my way to make my way back to the Father. And He made His way back to me in that moment. I, like, life itself was so amazing that I didn't want to ever leave it. I was created for that love. In that moment, that acceptance, everything that my spirit ever longed for met with God's yes that day that we encountered each other once again. In that moment, and in that moment, He puts these, His shoes on me. That I felt like I was walking on clouds. It was amazing. Like I felt like nothing could ever stop me from going where God was calling me to go. Like I felt like in that moment that I was unstoppable. The enemy could not interfere in my life anymore. Then I, I put on the shoes of peace. And in that moment, He puts on this robe of righteousness. He embraces me with a love that, that it just wrecks you to think about it. Wow. In John 17, it says that Peter put on his outer garment. And if you look at the Greek root word of that, it's the same Greek word as wedding garment. And that same Greek word in the wedding, wedding garment is the same as outer garment that Peter puts on. And it says to be put in, to come in, to put on. We put on Christ. Peter took it off because he denied Jesus three times. I, like, was embraced by this robe of righteousness. That it was Christ. It was His identity. It was my identity. I put on the righteousness of Christ. And I felt this acceptance and this love that I never could get from the world. Never can get from my family, any friends. I cannot find that love here on Earth. Never, never, never. When I was embraced by love, that is the full measure of Jesus's joy. I was embraced by a love that we can't even fathom here on Earth. And when I go back to that place, I don't want to leave it because it was a place that I was always created to be. And so as He puts on that robe, I'm looking in His eyes, and they're piercing, beautiful eyes. And I can't even tell you, I can't explain it in English what they were like. It was, it was a beauty that I can't even put in words. And He's looking at His daughter with this acceptance. And He puts on a ring on my right hand. And as He slides it on, I know that it's my identity. I know it's who I was called to be. I knew, no without a doubt, that I will finish well because that moment is the most glorious moment of my life. And nothing can hold a stick to it. And in that moment, I put my fist down into a seal, a raised seal of a document. And I knew I was sealing my destiny. And then that moment, I was sealing my destiny. I knew that I had a great call in my life, whether it's to talk to one person or a thousand people, it doesn't matter. But I knew that I was making a choice in that moment. I knew I had a conversation with a Father in that moment. And I was choosing to come back to Earth. I was choosing to come back into my body. I was choosing to come back and leave that moment of brilliance, that moment of intense love, because I knew that I would overcome everything the enemy throws my way to make my way back to the Father, and He makes His way back to me. Once again, there is no time or distance in the spirit. And I know without a doubt that that is my destiny is to make my way back to the Father and to overcome everything the enemy throws my way. There's a yes in my spirit. And God knew that I had a yes in my spirit. And as I had this conversation, which my mind cannot understand what my spirit was saying, I don't remember what I said that day, but I know my spirit did. And I know my spirit will be one with the Father as it's one with Christ. And it will guide me into the right direction by the Holy Spirit. And I pray that I will overcome everything the enemy throws my way to make my way back to the Father and allow Him to make His way back to me. I came back into my body that day because I wanted to finish what I was called to complete. That scripture in John 17:4, that I just read to you, it says, "Father, I give you all the glory because I've finished what I was called to complete." I believe it is for you and me also because Jesus comes to live inside of us. We were crucified, we died, we were buried, we were resurrected with Him. When you accept Christ, when you're baptized by water, and you come out of that water, you're a new person. When you're baptized in the Holy Spirit, you are filled with a full measure of Jesus's joy. You have the Father in you because you're one with Jesus, and He's one with the Father. And it all comes together through the Holy Spirit. You can't have one without the other. And when you have that, you have all the gifts. And God can use you because He's looking for one to intervene, to intercede. He's looking for you to stand up in your situation because Christ lives in you. Let the hope of glory rise up inside of you. Let the Holy Spirit guide you. And start looking to where the Father is in every moment. He will help you get through what you're going through. He didn't create you to sit on the couch and wait for end times to happen. He created you for such a time as this to be the one who stands firm to the end, who will be saved. He created you for such a time as this to allow the Christ of all hope and glory to rise up inside of you and to stand firm and to take that step into the Jordan, that over-flooding moment in your life that scares the hell out of you. Let your step stomp the hell out of the enemy. And you stomp, you step into your destiny. And watch God remove the flood waters. Watch God remove the mud and the muck and the mire. Watch God allow you to walk across into your promised land. I don't know what your promised land looks like, but I know that Joshua and Caleb walked into it. And they were the only two people out of millions of people who were in slavery. They could get rid of the slavery mentality. They've walked into their promised land. God doesn't want you in your promised land if you can't get rid of doubt and unbelief. You can't get rid of fear and anger and whatever and, and traps you. You gotta lay your life down and allow Him to fill you up. Allowing to be your strength. Allow Him to be your love. You are a vessel filled with the Holy Spirit that you pour out Jesus everywhere you go. And you allow the Father to carry you because He's the one that pours you out. You're filled with the Holy Spirit. You're filled with a living water. And you pour out the new wine of Jesus everywhere you go. And in that moment, when I'm, I have time to process all of this, I realized that I wouldn't have died that day on that chair by the pool. No. God showed me that if that yes would not have been in my heart, I wouldn't have made it out of Tennessee that day. And the crazy thing is that everything that I had done, all the people that I've seen come to know Christ, all the people that I seem to get healed, it wouldn't have mattered what mattered in their lives, but the world wouldn't have seen it. And it wouldn't have been a witness. And I wouldn't have left a legacy because I would have been in a car accident that I would have killed other people. And the legacy of Radical Launch and Trina Olsen would have died that day. And everyone would have remembered the tragic accident, like a lot of revivalists that don't always end well. We don't remember what they did. We don't remember the perseverance and excellence they've walked in. We always seem to remember that last moment of their life. And we're creatures of habit for some reason. But my destiny would have been shortened. My life would have been shortened. Other people's lives would have been taken. The enemy tried to come to steal, kill, and destroy. And I don't know why sometimes people are killed in accidents and lives are stolen. I don't have the answer. But I do know that because I'm here, that I'm called to be here. Just like Paul said in Philippians 1:21-26, "I would rather be with Jesus." I would rather be in that moment with God. I would rather be in that moment of that love that is piercing every atom of my body, every molecule of my body, that penetrated His love. But because I'm called to be here, I'm called to be fruitful. And in, in John 14, Jesus says, "If you love me, you obey my commandments." And it's not just the love commandments. Yes, we need to let God love us first. And we need His love to penetrate every part of our heart, every part of our body, to remove every doubt, every piece of unbelief, every piece of fear. Because so many times, fear stops men and women from walking where they're called to, where they don't finish well. His love, when it flows through us, will allow His love to penetrate other people's hearts. But there is something where we're called to do the Great Commission. We're called to go. And everywhere we go, we're called to see people healed, the dead raised. We're here on Earth for a reason to seek demons cast out of people. We're here to see captives set free. We're here to see leprosy healed. We're here to see cancer healed. We are here because we stand in who we are. Our identity is not in this world. It's not in your job. It's not in your family. It's not in your best friend. It's not in your spouse. It's in you. And that identity is Christ, the hope of all glory. And He lives inside of you. And when He lives inside of you, it will pierce the darkness that is in front of you. Your words will be God's words. Your eyes will see what He sees and how He sees it. Your ears will hear what He wants you to hear so that you can speak what you're called to speak. You will allow the Holy Spirit to rise up inside of you. And you will pour out Jesus in front of you. I could have died that day in March of 2022. There's a yes in my spirit that met the yes with God. And He knew that He had a plan in my life. And He has a plan for your life, just as He has a plan for my life. And I am super excited to watch you walk out your call in life. My call in life is to see the youth of America encounter Jesus. I don't know what that looks like. I don't know what avenues God is taking me down to walk that out. But I am excited to see America, not just an age, not just the 18 to 20 year old, not just 18 to 30 year olds, not just a youth, but I believe in this, what God is saying, the youth to me is not an age, but a generation. And it spans throughout four generations at least in America, throughout the world. And I believe that God is looking for the hungry. And are you a hungry person? Are you one that says, "God, flaming, flame me and love the hell out of me so that I can be loved to others"? Or are you, "Hey, God, you know, I'm, I'm okay. I can be used by You today, but not tomorrow. And, oh, please don't do that, God. That hurts. Don't take me through that." Do you limit God? It's time to get rid of the fear because Jesus says in John 15:16, He says these words. He says, "You did not choose me, but I chose you and I appointed you to be fruitful and to have lasting fruit. Then my Father will answer everything that you ask in His name." There's a condition. If you look at it in the NIV, in the older NIV, that's how it says. And I believe that's what it was meant to be, a condition that when there's fruit in your life, then the Father will answer everything that you ask in His name. Because He is not going to get you, give you the power and authority if you are not walking in maturity and righteousness and purity. Yes. As you're being rose up, as God rises you up, as God grows you up, He will allow you to see the power and authority. But you will not see the full measure, I believe, until you step into that yes in your life. And then you will see people heal left and right. You will see lives changed because your words match God's words. Because a yes in your heart says yes to God's heart. I am glad that I am alive today. And I'm glad that you're alive today. You know, in John 14, I love this scripture, and I'm going to end with this. Jesus says these words. Says, "If you can't believe that the Father is in me, and then I'm in the Father, so if you can't believe that Jesus is in me and the Father is in me, or that I'm in the Father, and, and in Jesus, at least believe in the miracles that follow me." Scripture is taking that word miracle out. So it must be significant. And they're replacing it where the word works. Works could be from man or God, but only God can create a miracle. It's nothing that I can do. It's only by His hand through my life that can create a miracle. It is only by His hand that I was saved and pulled off that embankment in 2007. That my life was radically changed. I wasn't evangelized. Actually, people that tried to evangelize me pushed me further away from God because they didn't understand the love of the Father. And it's not shame on them. I mean, kudos for them for trying. They only knew what they were taught, and they did the best they knew how. But when we don't pull, when the spirit of God, it's not good enough, and we hurt people. So get filled up with the Holy Spirit. Lay on the floor and cry out to God and let Him fill you up today. Go out into the woods if you have to and allow God to fill you up. Be like Finney or Whitfield or Wesley, who were undone by the presence of God and transformed their life. Can you imagine riding a horse for 20 hours to get to the next destination? People think that I make them tired when they look at my life when I drive all over the place. Some people don't believe that it's God. But what if I am a modern-day circuit rider going to and fro throughout the world, going to the next location just to be loved to that person? What love looks like to each person? What if God calls you to do something like that? Are you gonna walk away from your job or in your family to go and do the will of the Father? Jesus says when they say, "Hey, your mother and your brother are out here." He says, "Who is my brother and my mother? It is those who do the will of the Father." I'm not dismissing that we have a family and we have an importance to help them come into knowing who Christ is. I'm not saying we're not called to go to a job and be diligent with what God gives us. I'm not saying that you are not called to to work a job to provide for your family. I'm not saying that. I'm saying it's time that we put God first. And we allow the yes in our heart match the yes in His heart. And then we come in alignment with Him in our life first, before our spouse, before our parents, before our siblings, before our kids, before our boss, before friends, before your pastor, before bishop, a prophet, apostle, before the president, before the law. God must be first in your life. And that yes must come in alignment with His yes. Because anything else is short-changing God. And not just short-changing God, short-changing your life. Because you may never understand what it is to have the full measure of Jesus's joy inside of you. You may never understand what it's like to have a destiny that you're walking out, a purpose in your life, a vision that you have, something greater to live for. You may never understand that if you never let God fully into you. And I encourage you that no matter where you are today, get on your knees, get on your face, cry out to God and say, "God, I need You in my life more than I ever needed You before." Not because I need You to take care of my situation, because I want to finish well. I want to run this race. I want to endure what the enemy throws my way to overcome it. I want You to build a character in me so that I can sustain the dreams You put in me. Said the dreams don't crush me. Father God, I wanna be one who finishes the race, finishes what You call me to do so that I give You all the glory. And that Jesus gets the glory through me as I do it. Father God, You are mighty and powerful. And You can smite the wicked or You can love the hell out of them. Father God, but today, come into me in a measure that I've never experienced You. And remove every part of my heart that is broke. Heal it. Seal it. Give me a new heart today. Allow my health to come in full measure of Your expectations of what health should be. Let me be whole. Let me have Jesus sealed in me. Let me endure the race. And let me at the end of my race be found faithful. Let me overcome every obstacle the enemy throws my way to make my way back to You. And I make my, and You make Your way back to me. Father God, I want everything You have for my life. And Father God, I want everything You have for everyone that's watching this. I want You to encounter them in a great measure. Allow them to experience Your love like You allowed me to experience. And allow them to run unthrottled with Your zeal, asking for Your wisdom to know how to run, but never to let anyone throw cold water on it. I ask You to forgive me every time I've shut down Your Spirit, not knowing that I shut it down unknowingly and knowingly. I ask You to forgive me for not being the vessel that can be filled with You fully, then I could be like the virgins filled with Your oil, the lamps being filled with Your oil, so that I'm ready day in and day out. God, let me be ready to be used by You in every moment. Let me be a match that lights other people on fire. Let me be Your called one to love the hell out of the person in front of me. And help me to be a laid-down lover that You are first in my life. And nothing else comes first. Not my spouse, not my parents, not my children, not my job, not my pastor, not the president, not the army, nobody, nothing, but You. So that You can guide me in all the ways that You have for my life. That the enemy will have no stronghold in my life. That he will not have any way to pull me away from You because I am so one with Christ, that He's one with the Father. And we're so filled with the Holy Spirit that we pour out Jesus everywhere we go. And we claim territory. And that we finish well. In Jesus' name. Thank you so much. I pray that you have an encounter with God today. I pray that it takes you to a place of looking to see where the Father is in your life. Looking to see where Jesus is in you. And how full are you of the Holy Spirit? Are you drained? Are you full? Get filled up. God bless you.
