Skyhawk Leadership Week 6 - Dreams, Visions, & Tattoo

The sound, oh, you don't have a test. Okay. All right, we're just going to get started. Um, can we have everybody come on with your videos? Because it's going to be a lot of interaction tonight. Start with some worship. More worship? No, no, no, more worship. Pray though.

So, Father God, I just thank you right now. I ask you to come, Holy Spirit. Come, Holy Spirit, crash into this place and completely remove every electrical issue we have in Jesus' name. Push back the darkness right now. Everything was working fine until we had amazing worship in here. So God, your worship doesn't affect the enemy or affect us, it affects the enemy. So the enemy needs to flee right now in Jesus' name. Come, Holy Spirit, right now. There, it left. The crackling left. That's crazy.

So thank you, Father God. I thank you for the teaching and thank you, Father God, for touching every student out there. And thank you for anointing their mouths. I thank you, Father God, for doing an impartation where they take this and go into the streets and the byways and highways. And thank you, Father God, for giving us the anointing to be able to speak your words, nothing but your words. And thank you, Father God, that you pour out mightily and powerfully in Jesus' name. God, push back the darkness so that your sons and daughters can hear what they need to hear. Do not let any, in any attacking, the enemy, see anything to go wrong with the electronics at anyone's house. I thank you, Father God, that the lines of communication would be completely open. And I thank you, Father God, for allowing us to be able to see and hear what people are speaking about. Come, Holy Spirit, come mightily and powerfully, rise up inside of us and combat the enemy and push him back, push him back, and allow us to do mighty things today.

Wow. So this is amazing. Um, Tina and I went, um, out for breakfast this morning. We were playing on disco and for coffee, but, you know, it kind of got a little, little, little, little different. We went, um, went for a place and thank God we didn't do it at 7 o'clock because there's nothing up in downtown at 7. So we went at 8:00 and, you know, it's always in God's timing. It's always in God's timing. And so we went at 8:00 and the place wasn't even open. I'm like, what? That's crazy. So we walked about a, almost a whole block and we went to another place, they call the tracks, and we went down there. We decided we're going to have breakfast. So we went and we got some breakfast. And on the way down, I had a word of knowledge for a shoulder problem. And I checked with one person, he didn't speak any English, and I think he's, I scared him. The next person, um, he didn't, neither of those guys had shoulder problem. And that's okay. You know, I'm on my way, I'm on my journey, I'm looking for the person. And I just want to be real with you.

So we sat down and the waitress comes and I said, "Hey, do you got a shoulder problem?" And she's like, "Yes, I do." And it was the exact shoulder that it pointed to. Yes! Come on, Jesus! And we prayed for her and she didn't have any pain. And she was so excited at the end, she came over and gave me a big, big hug. And so when I'm leaving, paying for a bill and, you know, want to encourage when you don't have money, but you have just enough, you give it all away. And a tip is really good. So I did. I gave the waitress a really good tip today. I usually try to do it all the time, but not always. And but the hostess, I walked up to her and I said, "Hey, you got a back problem?" And she's like, looking at me like, "Huh? Yes." And trying to figure out why I'm asking. And I said, "It's your lower back, right?" And she's like, "Yeah, how do you know?" And so, um, she's like, "Well, I, I said, God. God knows and he wants to heal it. He's going to heal it right now." And she's like, "Okay." You know, and I think she even says, you know, "I'm a Christian." You know, and all of a sudden I'm like, "That's awesome." Like, I'm not denying, you're not a Christian. I, all the cross, you know. And, uh, so anyway, she's like, "I have herniated a disc." So I said, "Well, I'm believing God's going to heal them right now." And so I prayed for her. And the awesome thing is, is I said, "Hey, you need to talk to the waitress that we had, and you need to just talk to her about her testimony because God just healed her of a shoulder problem." She's like, "What? She did?" Like, "He did." And like, like, come on, like God loves you that much that he's going to tag team someone else in the building that got a healing. So she wasn't tested out, but I'm believing that she got completely healed. You know, sometimes when people have pain and they don't have it at that moment, they're not going to try to make it because, you know, especially when you got to work all day and you're on your feet, that's not a good day. So I'm believing that the next time we go in there, maybe tomorrow, you never know. We're going to wander around Chambersburg again in the morning and and the next day and the next day. And, um, we're going to try to hit every, every day somewhere new, some another place. And I want to challenge each of you. You know, we still want you to go and do testimonies. And we're going to start calling you out on the testimonies. And I think we're going to have you start writing them up. I'll send out a paper this week that Tina's going to prepare for you, or we can get Kelly to do it. Where's Kelly? Hey, Kelly. Hey, can you create a paper for us so that people can write down their testimonies? Sure. All right, there you go. I'm going to delegate. Tina is like, so we'll send out a paper and we'll just have you guys fill it out and send it into us. Um, we're going to start holding you accountable. You know, we're halfway through, so we all should be starting to step out and pray for people. And we're going to, um, require three, three, um, three written testimonies. You write down three testimonies, or you give us videos of them. You know, just a video clip, like a one-minute video saying, "Hey, what God did." And maybe how bad the situation might have been. You know, even if it's an epic fail, that is so okay. Like, it doesn't matter because we just want you to take the opportunity to be stretched by God and step out and learn when you're hearing and what you're not hearing. And, you know, I still get it wrong sometimes. You know, I have not arrived in heaven, so I'm not going to be perfect. And I'm still learning to hear God's voice. So that was two of my testimonies. And, um, me and Tina just had fun all day today. It was awesome. Did, yeah. So you want to talk about the book of Acts yet? Jumping? We're jumping in that. Yeah, we're going to start with the book of Acts. How many of you guys did your homework? Mhm. Yeah, I know there was probably about maybe two or three, maybe. And, um, and the reason why we're, I know that you didn't get the questions until yesterday, and I apologize, but I was hoping that people still read the, the three chapters. Um, and if not, you know what, we're going to still go. Come on up here, grab your microphones, take them on. So it's chapters Acts 8, 9, and 10. So if you all turn to them pages, and we're going to, we're going to have fun tonight because what we're talking about is actually exactly Acts 8, 9, and 10. And it's about dreams, visions, and tattoo interpretation. Like, they didn't have any tattoo interpretation in the Bible, but, you know, you know, I learned by from this guy named Doug Addison back in 2009 and 10. And he's this crazy guy that looks like Rod Stewart or Barry Manilow, and he's out in Hollywood doing amazing exploits for God. And he taught on dream interpretation and tattoo interpretation when I was in school. And the awesome thing is, you know, he would say, you know, the scripture says that Jesus comes back with, um, Lord of Lords and King of Kings on his thigh. Um, you know, and then we're, our names are tattooed on on the hand of the Father. Is it the Father or Jesus? Actually, now it's both of them. Okay. You know, and so is a tattoo, you know, our hand is, our name is written on his hand. Like, that is amazing. So, you know, um, it's nothing to be afraid of. It's an actual amazing opportunity to use something that a lot of people don't even like on their body, and we're going to show you how to flip it and create an amazing conversation with them that you wouldn't have had prior to talking to them. So you want to jump in on eight at first? I want to share mine. What I, yeah, my testimony. Here, closer, closer. Okay. All right, good volume. Okay, jump. I don't care. You can say I'm not that long. I was sitting there like, okay, right, who do you have me to share something? I kept looking over at this older lady. It was kind of sitting across from us, kind of. And I'm like, what? Okay, God, what do you have for this lady? And I, all right, I'm like, she looks like Grandma. Like, almost look like my little grandma that I used that you hold. I hear no. You don't. It don't matter what you hear. It's probably through the speakers. It's fine. No, you just need to water. I want to eat this microphone here soon. Is eat it? It's better. Okay. Kept looking at this little lady. She looked like a little grandma. So I'm like, okay, right now, what do you have for her? So I'm like, okay, like, all right, a sweet little grandma. What, what your sweet little grandma's have lots of love? So I'm like, I went over and told her, like, you look like my sweet little grandma that I used to have because she passed away already. And you look, you look like you would have a grandmother's heart and just, just the love on people. Like, and she's like, "Oh." She just, she just started being smiling really big. And she's like, "Can I have a hug?" So I gave her a hug. And then we're like, "Right, okay." Then she told me her name. I'm like, "Oh my goodness." And her name was Mary. And that was the same name as my grandmother's name also. So I'm like, "All right, right, God." So I think I get just not out of that as much as she got out of it. So all right, you go ahead and start.

I'm going to start. Okay, we're going into Acts 8 here. It talks here about Saul's persecution of believers. So Saul was going around and, um, after this, this is right after Stephen was stoned to death. So he was going around. Saul thought he was just high and mighty here now, and he was one of, he started persecuting all the believers. He would go from door to door, dragging people out in the streets, men and women, persecuting them, like, and sending them to jail. So this caused a lot of believers to be scattered throughout the countryside. Of course, as they scattered throughout the countryside, they, uh, start preaching the gospel wherever they went. So that, but so this really helped to spread the gospel throughout, um, what, out the rest of Israel. And then also they went over to Samaria and I think Judea, and they went out all different places. They went outside of Jerusalem. That's where a lot of the outpouring was first originally happened right after the, um, the Pentecost, Holy Spirit fell on them. So just the way he, he just kind of spread the gospel. Started getting spread. Just, you know, just kind of how, like, you know, in America, like how much persecution do we really have? Not a whole lot. Some people might say things to us from time to time that, you know, kind of hurt our feelings, but really don't have true persecution that we get dragged out into the streets and you get sent to jail for. I wouldn't say not yet, but I hope we don't ever. But some parts of the world, that happens. So there's persecution. So, so hopefully we never experience that. But, but I'll go into the next story here. It talks about Simon the Sorcerer. I guess, um, who is it? Yeah, Philip, who went up to preach, started preaching the gospel up in Samaria. And he came across this guy named Simon the Sorcerer. And he was, um, known for his magic and boasting to everyone about his greatness. Everybody thought he was dazzled. Everybody was dazzled by his sorcery. They considered him the greatest wizard of all, all in the divine power of God walks. And he, they said, "The divine power of God walks among us." And then here comes Philip unto the scene. He starts preaching the wonderful news of Jesus to this. And so shown signs of wonders in this area of Samaria. Many became to believe in Jesus and were baptized, including even Simon. Simon said he believed. He did he believe? I don't know. And he was baptized. Makes you wonder. But there was a problem. What was the problem? What was the problem? What was the problem? What was the problem with Simon? Anybody want to share? How about you, Kelly? Aha! Now we're popping up. Is this where he's offering to pay some money? This? Yes, a little exchange and try and buy God. Yeah, yeah. So you think Peter was justified in the way he prayed? The way he prayed? Sorry, I got back up. Sorry. That's okay. I'm not catching people off guard. Yeah, I love it. Just wait till this weekend, Kelly. Mmm. I think to, I'm reading that even Simon himself trusted in the teachings of Philip. And after being baptized, devoted himself constantly to them, seeing signs and miracles and great power before being performed. And he was utterly amazed. Yes, he was amazed by everything that he saw. But there was a problem. Ask. Can hear you. What you heard me whispering? Yeah. Oh, that's because the mic is on me. [Music] Du. I got my button. My button is metal and it lights the magnet on the little lapel. So yes, um, I think we answered that kind of. Yeah. Well, what was really the problem was Simon's heart was not right. He wanted to thought he could pay to get these powers. But, you know, they're not for payment. You can't buy them. There's every one way you receive them as a gift from God. Yeah. You know, and, and Peter just dealt with Ananias and Sapphira, you know, and, and he's, maybe he saw something very similar, you know, that the heart wasn't right. And, you know, and but there's something tangible about the baptism of Holy Spirit. Like, that's amazing. You know, the baptism of Holy Spirit. So someone who sees in the spirit, but they may see not of the right spirit, you know, through the demonic powers, but still, it's seeing in the spirit. They were, he was able to see the transference from Peter and John to the other people that had already been water baptized who had received Christ. So that's really awesome because, like, it is a tangible transference. It's a, it's a tangible anointing that comes from God. You know, and he wanted it. So, like, I, I love this because this guy, he was known as like the God, you know, and he was walking in these divine powers. And, and it's like, so we really think about this. So it says, um, um, up in 10, um, 8:10, it says, "And all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, 'This man is the divine power known as the Great Power.'" You know, and I'm not sure what all translations. And they followed him because they had been amazed. Then he had amazed them for a long time with his magic. And then, then Philip comes in town with the true power of God, and that just messed with his, probably his, uh, income and his little, little thing that he had going on. Kind of like the lady that followed Paul and said about these are the, the godly men. They're man. What did he say? What did she say? The one that was the, um, that he cast out the spirit out of her and she lost all of her power. Oh, and that Act 16. Yeah, it's coming up here. The story with the girl with the spirit of divination. Yeah. So Paul cast out the spirit because he got tired of hearing this woman. She was speaking truth, but she was speaking from a negative spirit. And he turns around and casts the spirit out. So, like, these people were, are seeing things, but they don't have the right heart. They're walking with the, the enemy's power. And it's nothing but, um, imitation. It's not the true. So when the true power came in with Philip, it's like, game's on, dude. It's just like with Elijah and all those false prophets of Baal. Like, it was like, game on. God showed up. Where's your God? Yeah. I didn't think so. You know, and it's like, so it messed up his income. And I believe that he followed him around. You know, so I don't think that he accepted Jesus with the right heart. I think he did the same thing that in, um, Ananias and Sapphira. I really do. I feel like they were very similar. They didn't have the correct understanding of who Jesus was. And, and with him, he was dabbling in the enemy's power. Like, so he did see power. I mean, the enemy does have power, but it's only power that we've been given him. Like, he doesn't have, he can't create power. And so, you know, he get thrown out of heaven. So he's, he's little. You know, he should be this lowly worm or this snake on the ground, you know, slithering around that can't be everywhere at the one at one time. And, but this guy had his power, and now he's like, you know, showtime, and he's not doing real well. So was he following Philip around to see if he could figure out what he was doing, then maybe he could copy it, or he could figure out the formula, try to figure out, you know, why you have something I don't? You know, and because Philip saw the demons leaving, they screeched as they left. Like, I love that up in, um, seven. It says, "With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed." So there was a great joy in the city. I don't believe that Simon saw great joy. Come, yeah. And so he knew there was something different. But he wanted to buy it because he didn't understand it. Kind of feel sorry for the dude. But, yeah. Sorry, I jumped in there.

Jump in, jump right in there. And also the part about after he, Peter came in and corrected him and said, "Your heart's not right with God." He starts telling him, "Repent this moment. You're allowing this wickedness to fill you. Plead with your God that perhaps you will heal, forgive you for this treachery in your heart. For I discern that jealousy, envy has poisoned you and bind you as a captive to sin." And what was Simon's response? He says, "Peter, please pray to God for me. Plead with me so that nothing you just said over me may come to pass." Yeah. Good for it. We were talking about this earlier. Yes. So he's, Simon is asking him to pray for him, not he's not, doesn't he doesn't want to pray for himself. He's asking Peter to pray for him so he can be forgiven. Can we pray for someone else for the repentance? I mean, there's some people that try, and I'm not sure if it works or not. I don't know. We haven't really dug too deep in it. But I don't think we could pray for somebody else's repentance. But not if the person's right in front of you, you know. I, if his heart is not repentant, I would think you need to repent your, of your own self. Yeah. I don't know if anybody else has any thoughts on that. Yeah, I really feel like get anything come or summer. Yeah, it's kind of like, you can lead the horse to water, but you can't make them drink. So you can share with them, you know, what's right and what's scriptural, but they've got to take those steps. You know, and I think you even really, if you're talking about repentance, you really even have to be real careful about how you do that depending on the person because they could just give it lip service. "Oh, okay, she wants me to say this and pray this prayer," but not need it in their heart. And that's even worse, I think. Yeah, because it's only head knowledge. It's not the, our connection, right? And the conviction has to come from the Holy Spirit. So that's a good way to pray, but I agree with you guys and Tina that you can't pray repentance on behalf of somebody else. No. It's probably kind of like, you know, delivering somebody that's not there that wants delivered too, right? Right. Yeah. We was even talking a little bit about, you know, how, I guess we think it was, was it Billy Graham? We're thinking that started the repentance prayer, dis people call prayer that you can repeat. I think I believe you can be saved through that because it all depends on the position of your heart. And when you say that, if you're just repeating it because you're repeating it, you may not. Yeah, there wasn't a sinner's prayer before Billy Graham. We'll talk a little bit more about that, I guess, in Philip and in Ethiopia. And it talks a little bit more about that. But you want to jump in there? But I think Billy Graham preached before leading people that preach the gospel and let them know what it was, you know, and, and if you want that, you can repeat with me, you know, to have that. So I think, and under that, I think it was good. But we've taken that sinner's prayer and we just have people say a sinner's prayer out in the streets, and it's not always an understanding of what they're receiving. And I think it's a dangerous place. You know, then we get another notch on our belt, "Hey, get another one saved today." They really, did you? But did they? Yeah, yeah. And that's, that's the kind of thing that I feel is, you know, a little negative. I'm not negative about how Billy Graham did it, you know, but I just feel like the way we picked up and ran with it may or may not be the greatest. Remember, Jim, here, ahead. If you go to verse 37, this is when he's talking to the Ethiopian. He says, "If you believe with all your heart, I'll baptize you." And the man said, "I believe that Jesus is the Anointed One, the Son of God." Yeah. So that's, and just him just declaring that he believed in the Son of God was enough, I guess, to confessing with your mouth. We talk about in Romans 10, it talks, "By confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, then you're saved." That kind of goes with that. Yeah.

So let's jump in the Philip and the Ethiopian. Oh my gosh, this is like one of my favorite stories ever. You mind if I steal some thunder here? You want to? I'll start it and you can finish it. Okay. Philip was traveling with his, some of the other disciples and the apostles. Going, they, they had left Samaria and they were going back to Jerusalem. And the angel came to Philip and gave him a message and told him to go south to the desert road to, to Gaza. And well, he just got up and went. He just left. He did not ask why. He did not ask what he was going to do when he got there, or who he was even going to meet. He just went up, just left the rest of the group and went. What if Philip argued with the angel? What do you think when it happened? Do you think he would have missed that opportunity? He would have missed that assignment he had. What if he waited to get confirmation? Yeah, you know, and, and, you know, I think the, the eunuch would have missed an opportunity. You know, and we might want to think, well, now, I'll get someone else, but what if he wouldn't? Like, I, I think about this all the time when I think about my, me committing suicide. Like, I was in a really, really large church. And, you know, I kind of backslid a lot in that, in that like year or two prior to it. Um, had a lot of things going on. And, um, probably some depression going on there. But, you know, I knew a lot of people. And a lot of people don't understand walking in the gifts of the Spirit. A lot of people don't understand about the importance of baptism of Holy Spirit for Christians. You know, and it's not taught in churches. So if we don't have the spirit of discernment, and if we're not really hearing God for other people, what if there was nobody that God had to intervene for me? And that God had to actually grab a hold of my car that day as I'm committing suicide? What if he would have had a Philip come by, you know, at work one day and said, "Hey, you know what? I know you're dealing with this, and I feel like, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah," and and pulled me out of it? What, what if that would have happened before I even would have left work? Or maybe sitting in a red light? Oh, this was awesome. We need to share this today. So this was awesome. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that story. This is better. We're driving down the road and this fits right in. So we're driving down the highway and I went, um, a different way than I normally go to go get the mail from the mailbox. And, um, and I went to turn this one way, and the road was closed. And so I had to go through a parking lot and ended up going the way, way that I didn't want to go. And it's up past the high school. And I just don't, it's, you have to slow down and, and, you know, it's just out of the way. So anyway, I had to go there. And we passed this guy that was walking down the street. And I really felt like as soon as I passed him, I'm like, "God, like, highlighted that guy." And he said, "I want you to go back there and tell him how much I love him and to share with him what was it, um, there's a time, there's, there's something that's on his heart that he needs to press into God." Like, he needed to press into God and have an expectation and watch God show up. And I'm like, "Okay." So I turned the car around. She's like, "No, you, you could go this way." I'm like, "No, no, no, I need to go this way." Turned the car around and went down. I'm like, "Okay, God, be really nice if you get a red light." Got a red light right at the guy. This is awesome. And I rolled down the window and I said, "Hey." And he's getting ready to turn the corner. I'm like, "Hey, dude, like, um, I have a word from God for you." It was so cool. And he's like, "Nobody came up behind us either." So when the light did change, nobody was honking a horn or anything like that. So it was perfect. We sat through two red lights. And the, the guy, I said, "Hey, I just want to let you know that God really loves you. And he said, there's something on your heart, you need to press in with expectations to God and watch him show up." And he's like, "What?" And he walked over the car. He left us pray for him. He reached his hand in the car. Yeah, he reached his hand in and let us pray for him. And he's like, "Man, he says, I really, really needed that." He says, um, "something about looking for a job and he needed a vehicle to get to the job, and he was looking for breakthrough." And he was walking. So at least he wasn't sitting in the house doing nothing. You know, so that was like, so cool. So what if someone would have, you know, sitting at a red light, I'm sitting at a red light, getting ready to go commit suicide because, you know, in the last moment that day, I chose to do it. Like, it was not something that really was on my mind until I did it. But what if someone would have come up to me on the red light, you know, just like Philip did with his Ethiopian, and he ran alongside the chariot? Like, are you going to run alongside a car? Like, I think we should do that. Like, I think you just did that today. You ran alongside of you. You approached somebody in the car. I know it was so cool. It was the opposite. Yeah, you know, and it was a, it was a person of a different color too. So, you know, I could have freaked him really out. You know, and, um, it, it's so cool to watch God change people's lives. And, and so we were also talking about the Ethiopian. He's a eunuch. So a eunuch is stripped of all their powers, like they are not going to reproduce at all, short of God recreating some things. And so he is stripped of all his powers, but he's working for the Ethiopian queen. So he has some powers, maybe like Daniel, you know, he could be like Daniel. And he has, he has the ability to be in a chariot. So, you know, somewhere along the line, this guy could have came from another royal family that they overtook their their nation or brought them in, or somehow they knew that they would be a threat. So that's why they stripped them of their powers so they can't recreate, reproduce children that would come up and take over because they don't want that DNA or genetics to rise up. They don't want that DNA. So he was, it looked like he was Jewish too, because he was actually going to Jerusalem to worship God. And, and the awesome thing is, he had one of the scrolls of Isaiah with him. Like, that's even crazier. A eunuch had a scroll. Like he was going to Jerusalem. Like, that makes my head just like, want to ask all kinds of questions. Like, I don't want to just read this Bible to read it. I want like, "Hey, God, like, he's going to Jerusalem to worship you. Like, he's a eunuch, he's a Jew, he got permission by the queen of Ethiopia. Like, that had to been a heck of a distance." Like, you know, I flew into Ethiopia, um, you know, and that was good. Um, it was a short visit, but it's not a short distance. Like, that had to been a huge, a couple days journey. Yeah, you know, and I flew. So, and, you know, it's like, but I want to ask questions to God. Like, he's reading. So God gets Philip out of his comfort zone and plants him on this road. And he's talking to, he's running up alongside this chariot. Just picture that in your head. Like, just close your eyes as we read this, because I really want the Bible to come alive with you guys. Like, I feel like there's some an impartation coming from the Bible when you listen to the, the visions and the dreams that we're talking about. So now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Go south to the road, the desert road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." So he started out, and on his way, he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, Queen of Ethiopia. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and on his way home was sitting in the chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet. The Spirit said to Philip, "Go to that chariot." So he didn't know that before that moment. So, you know, God might tell you, "Hey, you know, we live in Chambersburg, and we, we live outside of Chambersburg, you know, outside city proper. It's probably about 10 minutes to get into town." And you might say, "Hey, I want you to go into Main Street, you know, at 9:00 tonight." Okay, we're going to go. You know, and so you go in there, you might not know where, because it's a big long street, you know, and there's a lot of things, you know, good, bad, and different all over that area. And so you just have to trust that you just go. And like God did here, the Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it." And then Philip ran up to the chariot. He didn't just walk, he ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. And then he spoke these words, "Do you understand what you were reading?" Philip, best like, you know, there could have been even a language barrier. Doesn't say that, but somehow Philip understood what he was saying. And was, I guess he was reading it maybe in Arabic or Hebrew. So I guess he would, I guess it would be the same. Yeah, never mind, forget that. But do trust that even if you is a place where it's a different language, that God can give you the language to speak it. Like, I really feel like we're about ready to walk into stuff like this where we're going to see it more and more and more. And then, you know, Peter or Philip reads that to him. And it's like, I just, I just love. You want to go? Go to the rest. You want me to read the rest? Or yeah. The man answered, "How can I possibly make sense of this without someone explaining it to me?" So he invited Philip up, up into the chariot to sit with him. He invited him up. Yeah, come sit in the chariot. So he was reading a part of Isaiah which read, "He was led away to the slaughter like a lamb to be offered. He was like a lamb that was silent before those who sheared him. He never even opened his mouth. In his loneliness, justice was stripped away from him, and he could fully express his struggles for his life was taken from this earth." The Ethiopian asked Philip, "Please tell me, what is this Prophet telling me?" And he started explaining the passage to him. And this, the wonderful message of Jesus. Wow. And as he traveled down the road, the man says, "Look, there's a pool of water. Why don't we go get baptized there right away?" Philip says, "If you believe with all your heart, I'll baptize you." And, and that's what the man answered, "I believe that Jesus is the Anointed One, the Son of God." So they went down to the water, and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of the water, Philip suddenly disappears. He was snatched up in the spirit and instantly carried away to the city of Ashdod, where he reappeared preaching the gospel in that city. Well, that city was like 15 miles away from where they were at. So he didn't just run really fast. He was transported, translated, different terms for it, but he was found himself in another place. Yeah, yeah.

So who else we got on there? Who's down on the bottom? J. Oh, Jenna. Jenna. All right. So Summer, can you bring your your volume or your, um, mic on? I haven't been able to hear almost anything you guys for some reason. I've been trying to get my earbuds to work. There was a moment in time where there was no sound. Okay. So we're just reading. We're reading the book of Acts. Well, we can go to Jenna. You want me to just go? Go to Jenna. Can you hear us now? I can hear you. Okay. It's really hard now whenever Trina talks for some reason. I can't hear it. Tina or Trina? This one Tina. Sorry. Just checking too. Similar. My poor brain. My volume is all the way up on the computer though. I may have to disconnect the computer and do it on my phone. Okay. Well, we, we'll have Jenna share then. Is that okay? Yeah, that's fine. And we'll come back to you the next time. Okay. Jenna, you are you listening? Yes. All right. So, um, can you imagine being snatched up to find yourself in another location? What that would be like? Like, so, and I feel like the spirit, like this guy got water baptized and baptized in the Holy Spirit at the same time. And the spirit was so over Philip that he launches him spiritually. I don't know, you know, maybe it was like a flying eagle. I don't know what it was like. But what it was, about 15, 15, 20 miles. 15, so miles away. Yes. It was not something he could walk, like, you know, in a few minutes. Could you imagine like if God would do that now? Just fly me somewhere else to do ministry. And he landed, you know, preaching the gospel. Like, can you imagine what that might look like? Beam me up, Scotty. You can beam me up and transplant some place else. I'm getting convicted right now, actually. Uh, I don't think I have been. Have you been transplanted some place else right now? Do you want to share or not? It's not that I share with somewhere else. I feel like a lot of times I, um, I feel like a lot of times I'm misunderstood in my home. And it's like, I almost feel like I'm, feel like as the adult, like I'm fighting like a little kid, misunderstood or something. So when you say that, I'm almost like, well, God, I don't want to be somewhere else. I love my family. I just want to be closer to them. I want them to understand like me. And when you talk about this type of stuff, you know, I'm preaching and talking to people. It's like, some of the stuff I shared and wrote answers for the homework, you know, and even what I shared about deliverance. I don't want any of it to be negative. It's just, so what about this prep you on what it means to be married and when you don't have real strong, um, So do you get a chance to go outside without him? Like to go shopping? Uh, sometimes. I don't feel like I've gone anywhere lately. As you hear my voice, we haven't felt so great. But like, even last night, we were at a concert, a big Christian concert. And when we were leaving, I had some penny crosses in, in a bag that Tina had been given out before. I gave him something to give out. And my husband was just, he just wanted to get out of there. He just wanted to get out of there. I got to work in the morning. I got to. And in my head, I'm like, you know what? We just sat here for hours and people are getting poured into. You know, who knows what's going on for, yeah, this old well. And do it for myself too. But I let my son start to see what it's like, right? To love our people. That. And so it's just kind of hard when it feels like it's, that's the resistance is like, he doesn't get it. And, and I was telling that to somebody earlier today. I said, you know, one time we were at a restaurant, and the Lord told me to do something that was, that one I shared about going there was more detail to it. When the guy walked in, he had a walker. He came in with the whole family. And I couldn't stop looking at him. And what I heard in my head was, "Stroke." And I'm like, "Okay." And he just, you know, so I ended up going to the bathroom, um, but it wasn't just to use the bathroom. It was like I had to sit there and kind of prep myself because I'm like, "Well, my husband's going to be upset where I at family dinner over here. He, he's going to be like, 'What are you doing? Why are you going to the table?'" And I'm not trying to talk bad about him. I'm just saying more different that way. He's not like that. Yeah, understands it fully in me. And, and I'm still trying to understand it, you know. And I, I went to the table anyways. But it was like, I knew. And I think the hardest part is because he always ends up being fine with it. I mean, you met him. You know, he comes, he does Bible study, he believes, he loves the Lord. I think it's more triggered feeling like when growing up years or even my adult years working at the PD towards the end where it was just like resistance, right? Just make a decision about who they think you are, and they really know nothing about who you are. Yeah. So I think that's what happens for me. So sometimes it's easier, yes, when I'm alone because that I can, I feel like I can hear and I'm not getting those triggers. And, and but in a way, here comes the conviction. It doesn't matter if you get the triggers. It's being obedient to me. Like, you got to walk it out. It doesn't matter. Yeah. What I just have, I have some thoughts too. I just, yeah, I don't, yeah, I don't like how it feels when I'm feel like it's to cause discord, but I don't want it to look like I'm, yeah. So one of the things you can do, have you ever watched Todd White in his early years? So his, you need to, I'll try to get you a copy of his testimony. You really, really need to listen to his testimony. So when he first got transformed, like God took nine bullets for him, and he knew that he knew that God saved his life, not just once, but nine times in one night. Um, he checked himself into Team Challenge and was had crazy encounter with God. And then had three dreams. I mean, it's just, I won't, won't share a lot of it. But, um, when he, when he got out of Team Challenge, and he only stayed two months, and Dan Meller said, "Y'all need to get married." You know, and he, she had an encounter also with God, and she really wanted to get married also. So they ended up getting married. But he, she, she was embarrassed by Todd. And like, she was not happy with Todd. And, and I don't know all the ins and outs, but he talks about it. And he says, you know, she wouldn't go shopping with them for a year. Yeah. So, you know, he would take his daughter and they would go, and it would take forever because he'd go and minister to at least 10 people a day. You know, and he would go and just pray for people. And he started to see signs, wonders, and miracles. And he didn't see it right away, but he started to see it. And one day, what changed his wife was one day he saw, um, she saw a miracle happen, I think in Walmart, and that made a huge difference. And that changed her life completely. And she didn't doubt that God was using her husband. Like, that's, that's one thing that, you know, I'm not around my family like you. A lot of people. I mean, I can be. I just, um, you know, I'm working, work in progress in that area. I'm not married, but that's still, you know, it's still hard, you know. And, and I go, um, I had, bra thought it just left me. I know Alex wanted to share something too. Who's Alex? Okay, sweet. So, um, but, you know, as we go, and as we see God move in our, our life, and then when people come alongside of us, they can't deny what we do. It becomes a lifestyle. You know, and I believe as you work that out, you're going to see God move more and more and more. So we have, um, Alex wants to share something too. So you can pop him on. He has a video. One. Hey, Alex. There you are. So here, what you were talking about, perspective, is that with your husband? Yes. He's probably going to be okay with it. But at the same time, he's probably, he's probably thinking in the background, like, "Okay, is she done yet? Is she, are we done with this? Can we go now?" But at the same time, you have to walk out whatever it is that the Lord is telling you to walk out. Only because of the fact that in the case of with Trina, what happened with her, she's now standing in front of you, not six feet under. Same thing with me, is that I've had people that I've talked to and run across.

Where they said, "Okay, well, what about this? What about this?" And I had to speak to others and literally said, "Okay, well, here is what I hear God saying to you." And this is, and this, and literally laid out in front of them and say, "Okay, here's your life. Here's all this that's going on, and this is all that you need to do."

And I'm still learning to operate in a prophetic, but at the same time, it's one of those things where you want to release what you have and ask them a very simple question of, "Okay, does it make sense, or am I completely off?" And that's how you learn because we, uh, at least probably most of us didn't get on a bike and say, "Okay, able to ride it," uh, without any problems. All of us probably had some stumbling where we got to the bike, fell off the bike, maybe pedaled a few, pedaled a few, pedaled, and then fell off. But most of us, I'm guessing, have some background of being able to ride a bike now. And because of that, yeah, you might fall off, uh, because you, you probably haven't been on the bike recently. But all the same, is you learn what things do, or what you learned how things work. And you also learn how to hear from God to know that, "Okay, yeah, this was God," or "This was the, the pizza that I had from last night." That it's a, what we call a pizza prophecy, and it was completely off.

Amen. Amen. I love that answer. Thank you so much. Much, Alex. Does that help you, Summer? Or, I'm sorry, um, Jenna? Does that help?

Yes, it does. Like I said, it's just, I think it's just to be more bold. And maybe that is exactly what it is, like what Alex is saying, and like what you're saying about the light. You get that. I know my husband has strong faith. I know he does. And I know that he came from a background where, sure, his mom, I think, with this stuff, don't dad as much. One, but one of the things, yeah, but I think one of the things that we got to realize, like, when we stand before God, it's no one's going to be with you. You know, that's what I told him when we had that. I was like, "You know what?" Pretty much said, I was like, "I have to answer for this stuff." And if I don't do it, how do I know? You know, how do I know if, if I don't, like you said, if you walk away too early, or if you don't do something, or if you don't go and say something, then, yeah.

I mean, the more, the more that we learn in class, and the more that I listen to certain videos from the school and different things, and just look back at my life sometimes, I'm like, "Well, I'm believing in a video, and I don't know where it went." Um, but I got it, maybe at least halfway through it. But, or maybe it was the one with Bill Johnson, he was talking about I to do the against your anointed, see it different. I'm like, "Maybe that's why there was always so much controversy because what I didn't totally know about myself, right?" The enemy doesn't know everything like God, but he probably knew more than I knew as I was growing up. And I'm like, "There was always so many battles that would come against me. I felt like I had to fight all the time." And then I kind of became known for that, right? Which then became distraction again. "Well, you're just being judging," or "You're just being like this." And it was like, "One more." I learn now, I'm like, "Well, maybe I was being discerning, and maybe I was being, maybe I knew something, and I brought it out, and it just wasn't what people wanted to hear." I wasn't trying to be there. Just things now noticing different than I ever been before. And I'm, yeah, trying to make sure that I'm doing what's right.

One thing that popped in my head, it didn't have anything to do with talking to anybody. When you were talking about even paying attention, one night I was going to go to the store, and I decided, I don't even remember if I went in the one store at first, and I had Tobias with me, and he was in his car seat. And I just had this overwhelming feeling before I went home, like, "You have to go to the other store. You have to go to the other store." And I'm like, "Well, five minutes away, I can go to the other store another time." Like, "Why do I have to go to the other store?" But I'm like, "Okay." So I'm driving down one of the lanes, and I hear like the loudest engine. And I'm like, "What in the world is that?" As I'm coming up, and to the left of me, or to the right of me, sorry, going across the T intersection, there's a stop sign, right? And the crosswalk for people to come in and out of the store. And there's more lines because it's the parking lot. But I hear this engine. I, it almost seemed like nobody else must have heard it. I don't know. It was really weird. And I think my windows were even up. This car comes barreling down the lane to the left of me, and just flips, turns right, just flips, goes, and just barrels through the stop sign. And as it was going, before it hit the stop sign, like, and rolled through the sign at high speed, I slammed on my horn because that's all I could do. I'm like, "I don't have anything else, but I got the horn." Well, there was a lady walking to the right, and she almost in the cross. Yeah, we all, I don't know what happened. She didn't see the car. She didn't hear the car. But something in my audible ear could hear that car sounding like it was in a racetrack.

My God saved your life. Crazy. Brings me to tears to talk about it because all I thought, she could probably died. That because there were other people out there. And it didn't seem like anybody else even heard it. Or for some reason, it was just so in my car. It was a crazy thing.

Yeah, that's awesome that you were obedient. It was so. Summer, you have a question? Or, yeah, I was just going to comment on what Jenna said, you know, that about, you know, what if it's just because we've been discerning our entire life? And it reminded me of, um, so one of the videos you showed, um, from Chris Valton, it was on discerning, one, I believe. And it was so good. And he was talking about that many people that are discerners get diagnosed with bipolar because we feel things so intensely, and we get upset, or we get real excited. All that kind of stuff, which can be looked at as bipolar. But even he said it, and I'm just like, "That is so interesting." Because prior to this season of my life, I've experienced so many fluctuations and feelings around certain people and this and that. I had absolutely no idea that, you know, it was something in the supernatural world. Yes.

I don't know if you guys know who Jamie Galloway is. Jamie Galloway, when he was growing up, he was, he was put in and out of psychiatric wards. And he's a prophetic seer. And so no one could understand what he was seeing. And, you know, and people just, um, yeah, it was just crazy, you know? Yeah. I do believe that society doesn't understand us. Yeah. I go to a psychiatrist once a month, and she always gets to that question, "Are you, do you see? Do you hear anything that I see here?" And I'm like, "I was guilty of..." [Music] "...that." Shared with them, you know, this and asked a lot of questions. And I'm like, "Don't, I don't know how to even describe it to a doctor that, you know, is not a believer." Because, um, I, I was gonna ask that question, is that person a believer? They should be hearing voices too. But, yeah, we'll put up, um, the video of Todd White and the psychiatrist. It's hilarious. Yeah. So, yeah, Todd White, the psychiatrist, you can watch it on YouTube. I'll put it up in, um, in, I'll, I'll send a video link out to you guys. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Yeah. Todd's asking, um, he's being asked if you're hearing voices. And he's like, "Yeah, but you're a Christian too. You should be hearing voices too. The voice of God." It's funny. It's a, it's funny. Yes. Yes, it is. It is.

So, we're going to jump into nine. So, um, you, huh? You're not ready? You want to do it on Wednesday? Yeah. We're going to, we're going to start on the prophetic, um, on the dream and visions because we're going to start that. We get started. Yeah. We're going to, we're going to jump into the homework on Wednesday. So y'all be ready. So do your homework. Cuz, and then, or not Wednesday, next week. Next Monday, duh. So next Monday, we're going to do nine and ten, and maybe even eleven. We'll have to see where, where God takes us. But I love to do this interaction. This is what is really needed. And so I'm trying to just encourage you guys that we want to help you. You know, Jenna, you know, and Summer, and Kelly, and Keith, I know you're on there, and Lori, you know, we really want to, we want to really help you all walk out, you know, and, and, um, sorry, my iPad is doing something crazy. So, we, we really want to help you walk this out. And I know we only have twelve, twelve weeks. And this is the sixth week. I can't believe that it's halfway already. Wow. We got six more weeks. You know, and so we really want to help you walk this out. You know, and give us some ideas of some areas that you're struggling in. You know, send me a message and let me know areas that you're struggling in. And I will set up, um, I think we're going to, we're going to, we have more time now to do some more things. We want to set up a way to get you guys to be able to interact with each other too. And we'll get your approval before we do that. So, um, we're really excited about this.

So, we're going to jump into, um, visions. You know, we talked about it with Philip, and also in your homework, you know, Ananias and Saul also had visions. You know, and so you want to do the dream stuff first. Get my stuff all right. She, while she's getting ready out, I'm going to discuss some of this stuff. So, we, I love talking about dreams and visions because visions and dreams empower you to be who you're called to be. It empowers when you have an encounter like Ananias or like Philip. It empowers you to go right now, like, go immediately. You know, and I'm going to talk about Ananias here for a second. Ananias is, um, he, he's talked, God, the angel of the Lord comes to Ananias and he says, um, let's see here. "In Damascus, there was a disciple named Ananias. And the Lord called to him in a vision, 'Ananias.' Yes, Lord," he answered. And the Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying." So, like Ananias said, "Yes, Lord." So he said, "Yes, ma'am." But, you know, when he finds out who God wants him to go talk to, he's like, "God." And, you know, and I love this. God does not even entertain his fear. He has fear. He says, um, let's see, down in 13, "Lord," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem. And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name." So there was great fear there. But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go. This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for My name." And Ananias went to the house and he entered it, placing his hand on Saul and he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and went and was baptized. And after taking some food, he regained his strength. Instantly, the scales fell off his eyes. Like, we don't realize. Like, I don't have a family in the way that some of you. Like, I'm not married. I don't have children. Um, you know, and yes, I do have more freedom. But God used people throughout the Bible, whether married or not married. Like Joanna in Luke 8. She was Herod's manager's wife. And Herod's manager's wife at the time, John the Baptist gets murdered, he gets beheaded by Herod. That's not a good moment to be serving God from the palace. And she's helping Jesus and the disciples with her own money. You know, I don't, it doesn't say, like, we can't read into it. Some people say that it was such and such a guy. You know, one of the centurions that, you know, Jesus healed his son. Well, that's not what the scripture says. And we can't read into some of that stuff because we don't know for sure. But the awesome thing is, is she helped Jesus with her own money. And, and in a time when there was fear, and she probably was afraid for her life in moments. But the fear of not being able to walk where Jesus had her was greater than the fear of her losing her life. And, and I don't know what it's like. I don't. But if you think about this Joanna, it doesn't say that her husband approved. It doesn't say he was along with her. Doesn't say they were divorced. Doesn't say he was dead. Doesn't say any of that. We don't know if he was. You know, the movie "The Chosen" portrays him as not happy with her and not on the same page as her. You know, I don't know that for a fact. But the biggest thing is, we just have to practice hearing God's voice. And when we hear it, when we see visions, when we have dreams, just acting on those and trusting God to show up and show off. And I really believe that when, when I'm in moments when I need to see God show up, I see more powerfully, especially when he showed me something. And I see him show up, and I see him show off, and I see people come into the kingdom. Like, that is what we were created for. And that's like, I get you, Jenna. I do. I get you. And I, and I don't know how to help you, but to just encourage you to continue to step in and out. You know, and maybe when we're done with school, out, maybe we come out in April and just walk beside you a little bit. You know, that might be awesome. You know, maybe we'll come out and we'll, we'll take Jeff with us and hang, go out with your husband. We'll throw Jeff out of the boat. How's that sound? You know, and just, um, you know, go and hang out with Carol and her husband or something. You know, and, um, you know, even with Judy, whatever, you know, there's a lot of people up in that area that I know. So, um, but the awesome thing is, is Ananias, this is crazy. So Saul, I believe, was told by God that Ananias was going to come to his house or come to the house. And he was, before the angel of the Lord even talked to Ananias. Isn't that crazy? God knew that he was going to go. God knows what's in our heart. He knows that we have struggles. But he also knows when there's a "yes" in our spirit. And when there's a, and, you know, I know people say, "Well, God won't give you more than you can handle." Sometimes I think that he stretches us beyond our handle so that he carries us. You know, and, um, yeah. So I just want, I just really wanted to dive into that because I really feel like it's important with what we're going to talk about about is visions. You know, we need to understand the visions that it gives them power. So it gave Ananias this confidence to go in there and say, like, "I just love this." You know, he says, he went to the house and he entered it, placing his hands on Saul and he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord said, wait a minute, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Like, he had this, like, he was confident. He knew that God was going to show up in that moment. And that's what visions, and that's when we hear God, when we know we hear him without a doubt. And a lot of it comes with practice. Today, you know, I believe that they heard so loudly, or not loud, but so clearly. You know, they were just, they just witnessed Stephen getting persecuted. You know, and the other thing that we wanted to do is when you go back to think about Philip. Who was Philip? Philip was one of the seven, I'm pretty sure it's one of the seven that was chosen to, um, and he was alongside of, of, uh, Stephen, you know, and back in seven. And it says, "Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom." And then it says, and this is what it says about Stephen, "He chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit." And they also filled up, and then they named all the other ones. They were filled with the Holy Spirit. You know, during the day, or throughout the day, make sure that you find a way to step into the presence of God. And I'm just going to show you some things that that really can help. So if you're, if you're sitting there on your couch, okay, and you have some worship music on, or don't have to have music on, but you just sit there and you, you take a deep breath and you lean into the Father, Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. You just lean into Him. You just picture, whatever it might look like, lean past the veil. Just lean into heaven. And then take a deep breath and you lean back. And you lean, let them lean into you. And, and it's the scripture of John 17. And you, and you can even repeat the scriptures. "I'm in you as you're in the Father." And then you just lean back. "And you're in me as you're in the Father." We're in perfect unity. And just watch the Holy Spirit just come and just envelope you in that rapture, you in that place. And you can do it several times. Like literally picturing you in Christ, you know, the hope of glory. And then leaning back and watching them. They're in you as much as you're in them. We're in unity. We're in heaven as we here. And so practicing that, you know, allowing the Holy Spirit to just, just pray. It's like, you know, this is a good one. Yahweh. Okay. Yahweh is, is Jesus. You know, it's, it's God's name. It's actually, you know, his, his original name. And, and when you just sat there, and so you go, you breathe in, and you just breathe in Yahweh. And you breathe out. And you breathe in, and you breathe out. And you breathe in. And you can pause it there. It's, wow. You know, you, if you have to, you go to the bathroom, five minutes, you get away from people. You know, and in there, you can sit on the throne. And you can just, sorry, God has a sense of humor. And you just breathe, take deep breaths, breathe Him in, and exhale all the garbage. Breathe Him in, exhale all the garbage. And just allow the Holy Spirit to just fully, fully rapture you in that moment. And just get rid of all the negative words that were said. And allow Him to speak to you. You know, and you can also do, there's a five-step wholeness that I can send out. Kate, if you watch Katie's video, she talks about it a little bit. But I'll send you some information. It's called five steps. And it's: Identify the lie, confess the lie, hand over the lie, um, invite the Holy Spirit, and, and then you ask the Father for truth to replace the lie. And, you know, when, when someone's, um, hurting you, you know, spiritually, physically, emotionally, whatever. And you take a few minutes to get away from. And you just ask. It's like, Jesus, or Holy Spirit, or God, whoever you want to talk to, all of them, they're all the same. They're different, but they're the same. And you just say, "Holy Spirit, what lie am I believing? What lie am I believing that allows them to push my button?" Because we need to be without buttons. We need to be not poked anymore. That is the goal. I really believe that is the goal. And I believe that the disciples did it really well. And they didn't do it perfect, though. They still had buttons. Paul, he had a thorn. You know, Peter, he went off there a little bit. You know, they all had moments. They were human. But in that, you just say, like, say, for instance, I, I just got slapped around this past week. We had a bad week. We really had a bad week. We pray for our ministry. And, you know, and some really not so nice words were spoken. Like, really, really nice, not so nice words from. And, and I can take that, and I can let it cause an offense. Like, nope, no offense. I'm not going to allow that to stick. You know? So, you know, I'm like, "Okay, God, what is it?" And my negative core judgment that I believed about myself after I get delivered was that I was an inconvenience. So, what, so what if you're an inconvenience? When was Jesus an inconvenience? He wasn't an inconvenience to the Pharisees. Oh, they hated him. They hated him with a passion. The religious spirit hated him. And so that's pretty much what we're dealing with here. You know, and, and so it just like, "Okay, I believe that I am an inconvenience." And I hand it over to Jesus. I give Him all that inconvenience. You know, and I ask the Holy Spirit to come into that place and heal my heart where I just got hurt. Like, "Holy Spirit, to spend time with God. Let the Father wrap His arms around you. Let Him remove the emotion, the trauma." You know, you can practice some of the stuff that Craig Miller has taught. You know, and, and so after the Holy Spirit comes in there, this is important. A lot of ministries don't always do this. They, they have you declare things and repeat things, but they don't invite the Holy Spirit in there. So when it's, it's head knowledge until the Holy Spirit comes. When the Holy Spirit comes, it creates revelation. Revelation is what you stand on. So if, so if I have Jeff, and he tells me something that he encountered that he has revelation from God, and when he shares it to me, it's just head knowledge. And when I chew on it with God, and I, and I talk to God about it, then it becomes revelation to me. And when it comes revelation to me, I can stand on it. It becomes my word, and I can stand on it, and the gates of hell cannot invade. They can't. You stand on the rock. And so then you ask God, "Okay, God, so replace it with truth." You know, and, you know, I don't know. Well, actually, I did know. And this is what He told me. He said, "I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb, and I set you apart." And He said it with this clarity, and it was like, like, cut through all the garbage. And, you know, the greatest thing, we, I talked about this when Wednesday's class, and you guys weren't there. But I had an encounter on Wednesday where I saw God, like the Father, polishing up my, uh, breastplate of righteousness. And He cleaned it all up. And He said, "You got a little dirty on the last one. You got a little dusty on your last battle." And He's cleaning it up. I didn't ask Him. Like, He's cleaning it up. And He's cleaning up my shield. And He says, "I want you to reflect My Son." Because when they, when the warriors went to battle, when the Romans went to battle, they would face the sun so that it would reflect into the enemy's eyes. And so then when I went to get up, He's like, "Wait a minute, wait a minute." He says, "You forgot something." And He handed me a brand new sword. It wasn't new, it was actually ancient. And it was the sword that David took from Goliath. And it's, when the sword that cut off Goliath's head. And I'm like, "Wow." And I had this moment, like, "Who am I?" And like, God snapped me out of that. He's like, "You know who you are." And He does. We do. We know who we are. And we cannot let those people, anybody, sayers, not tell you that that you're not who you are. Like, for so long, I've heard chitter-chatter in my ears about, "Oh, you can't do that," or "Oh, you shouldn't do that," or "Oh, that's no, you're no, you're a sinner. You're a sinner." I'm like, "No, I'm not a sinner anymore. I have been saved by grace, and I'm on the other side of the cross." And doesn't mean that I don't sin. But when I sin, I recognize and I turn the other way, and I go the other way. I am no longer a sinner. I have been saved by grace. I am a daughter of the Most High. And I am seated in heavenly places with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And I reign on Earth with Christ in me, the hope of all glory. He lives in me. And when we live that way, when we know who we are, the enemy cannot win. And so as I was getting ready, He's like, "Wait a minute, one more thing for you. You need this." And I don't know if I've ever had Him hand me this. And I'm about ready to cry. He handed me David's slingshot and five shiny smooth stones. And He said, "You're going to need that." And I'm like, "And then we had one of the greatest battles this week." You know, we're not discussing it because we're not going to give the enemy any room because it's been defeated in the kingdom of God. And, you know, the only time you get attacked is when you're doing something. You know, and the religious spirit does not like at all what we're doing here. And that sucks to be him.

So, we're going to jump into the prophetic. Or not the prophetic. I keep wanting to do the prophetic. We have Tina come up here. Hey, she's smart. She took her little things off while she was busy wherever she was. You, you don't want to hear me cough. You stand because I'm not going to talk that long. I'll be right back. Oh, you can take a little break. Okay. She, she is going to take a little break. And let me introduce and start the dream stuff. I was, we were listening to a little bit of James, go. I don't know if you guys have ever listened to any of his stuff. I had a little, a part, a little podcast that I was given through because of a master class I had taken on dreams. So we were listening to that this morning. And I'm like, "Oh, I think we need to share. Start out with this because he has a very good introduction on dreams." So I'm going to start out here by reading Mark 4:10-13. It reads here, "When he was alone with his followers and the twelve apostles, he asked them about the stories." So this is Jesus talking, okay? Jesus talking about the apostles, okay? "Jesus replied to them, 'The mystery about God's kingdom has been directly given to you. To those on the outside, it is given in stories. They see clearly but they can't perceive. They hear clearly but don't understand. They never return to me and are never forgiven.' Jesus asked them, 'Do you understand this story? How then would you understand any of the stories I see as illustrations?'" I thought that was a good way of how to introduce that, how we as believers, um, He speaks to us, we, actually believers, or anybody, He speaks a lot of times in stories and riddles and, um, not riddles, but parables. So a lot of times He's telling that because He wants us to come out and see and to look further into, um, what He is trying to tell us. This is kind of God is kind of creating like a tapestry for His people. He's kind of like a dream weaver. He kind of creates. I mean, what trans Oh, he was to, oh, that was God's word translation. But he wants to know and he's creating a tapestry. So it's kind of like piecing things together. When you have, I don't know how many of you guys are dreamers on here, but a lot of times when He gives you dreams, He doesn't tell you directly what He's trying to tell you. He gives it to you like, like a storyline, or he might hear a few words, you might smell things, you might see things, you may see colors. All those little details, you had to kind of look at it. And what is God highlighting in those, in those dreams? What is He trying to tell you? Usually the best way I usually do is I kind of write down the dreams and then I kind of like, you know, start searching scriptures. Trina has a good book with it. Did you bring that book? Oh, Divinity Code book. It has, it's pretty thick. There's a lot on on there about dreaming. I just going to put it on the picture so you can see it. It gives you a lot of, um, details on like different ways like you would have for instance, um, see, was a good example. I'm just flip the both of them. Let me see. Oh, atomic bomb. Never had that one. That's probably a good thing. I'm trying to figure which one I want to talk about in there. I should have picked one out. Oh, cheeseburgers. Going to make me hungry. All right, for instance, maybe let's, let's stop with this one. Let's say you find, have a dream with a clock in it. He might be telling you about time. He might be telling you to wait on God. He might be telling you to God's appointed life span. An hour is near. The end is near. Or maybe the last hour. Divine appointments. Opportunities. Timing is important. Harvest. Fullness of time. Time to awaken. Waiting. A waiting. The time of God to release a situational ministry. And note that time would look up individual meanings of numbers. Oh, then it gives you of a bunch of references of where to look up clocks within or time within the Bible. So it just kind of gives you a good reference. Of course, when you get one of that, you had to kind of figure what kind of resonates in your spirit and what that meaning would be. So a lot of times I, I grab the book out of her room and look up a few things from time to time. But, you know, God just wants to reveal more. Wants us to come to Him. He just wants to spend time with us. He wants to teach us, teach us different ways to stories and these symbols to come of so we can discover who He truly is. When He speaks to us like that, it's kind of like in His, His own little like, like heavenly language. He has his own little language. He speaks to us from, from heaven. He wants us to come and search out the hidden things because they're not just revealed usually to you, let you're like, sometimes when you get revelation, he might speak directly to you something. But, you know, when it's more dreams, it's more symbolic. Dreams is actually mentioned in the Bible 200 times. So if you would do a search of that, you could find all sorts of types of dreams. I think Trina is going to go a little more detail on different types of dreams. Dreams. But the most important thing is just kind of, you know, being grounded in the word. So when you look up information about dreams, just being grounded in Him and just looking through the Bible and helping you to study that further so you can have a deeper understanding. He kind of gave a little bit of a story about kind of on being anchored in Him. It's kind of like, um, sometimes we just need to study His word and just be anchored in Him. Just kind of like sailing in the boat, you kind of go into the waters and you just kind of sit. Sometimes you just need to go into the harbor and just kind of sit and just be anchored and just sit there and wait and study His word and meditate. And sometimes He tells you to pull up that anchor and take Him along with you when, when your travels and you're, when you're sailing along and just kind of travel with you. And He wants you to go, just, you know, take Him with you wherever you go, wherever that may be. He wants us to take adventures with Him. All right. And next here, um, turn to Numbers 12 on verse six. There. Numbers. Oh, way in the beginning. Let me switch a different translation here. Did I, did HCSB? What did I just say? 12:6. Okay. Lost my number. "And He said, 'Listen to what I say. If there's a prophet among you, for from the Lord, I make myself known to him in a vision. I speak with him in a dream.'" So it tells you right there that He, God speaks to us, visions and dreams. He wants to reveal thing, mysteries to us. He wants to reveal things to us, information to us. He wants to, this all the times. Visions are revealed more the nature of God. Who the nature of God? And dreams often time is usually more personal and usually reflect more to what He wants to tell you. Occasionally, He can tell you things, maybe how to address a situation. But usually times it's something that maybe you need to do in your own life. Joseph talks about in Matthew, um, 2:19. Now Joseph had dreams. Had a dream to leave Israel. Okay, maybe let's go read the verse here first before explaining it because it talks about this is right shortly after, uh, Jesus was born. Actually, no, this is a little bit later on. Says, "After Herod was dead, and the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt. The angel said to him, 'Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to Israel. Those who have been trying to kill the child are dead.'" So who's giving this is an example of just giving instructions on what needs to be done. He's told him to get up and go. He can go back home again. Doesn't have to be a foreigner in, in Egypt anymore. Let's go to Job 33:14. This is just little dialogue. It looks like between Job and, let me read it here. I forget who he was talking to. Says, "God speaks in one way, even in two ways, without people noticing it. He speaks to us in a dream, prophetic vision at night when people fall into a deep sleep. When they sleep on their beds, He opens people's ears and terrifies them with warnings." So sometimes He warns us of things to come. Actually, I had a dream. I'll finish reading this and I'll say this. "He warns them to turn away from doing wrong and to stop being arrogant. He keeps their souls from the pit and their lives from crossing the river of death." So sometimes He has to warn us of things to come. Just like kind of the situation Trina was talking about, um, some people were coming up against us and saying some unkind things to us. And God had given me, actually Trina, a dream. And actually I had a dream also where we had a dream. I was driving down the road in a vehicle with a trailer behind us. And I all of a sudden I heard, um, "Slow down." Okay, so I start, you know, listen. I listened in the dream to slow down. And next thing you know, I see a, uh, dump truck sitting along the side of the road. And then the car that was in front of me hits the dump truck and explodes in the dream. He tells me to slow down to warn me that something was about ready to happen. But in the dream, though, I stopped. I did not slow down. So I was being disobedient in the dream. And it showed me the consequence of not listening. So there was lots of debris and stuff on the road from the explosion, the car exploding. And I stopped, and of course then I got hit. And then I kind of saw like an aerial view of everything that was going on. And I saw that my car, the trailer was behind the truck, wasn't damaged. But the trailer behind us was damaged. So He was warning me as you're moving forward, something's about ready to happen in front of you. Don't stop. I need to just slow down but keep moving. Not to allow that. What was usually cars mean like ministries? So maybe sometimes somebody's ministry was about ready to stop in front of me, or something, something was about ready to happen in front of me. And I was supposed to keep moving. So just, just be open whenever you do have dreams to what God said. And He sometimes He does warn you of things. And also these verses also tells us about God opening the ears of man. He comes to them while they're sleeping and He seals instructions to us. So I don't know if anybody you guys, anybody on here has any big dreams or anything. We'll probably talk about that a little bit later on. But all right, then I'll turn the next verse. I turn to is Joel 2:28. This is more familiar verse that probably some of you may have heard before. Talks about prophesying in dreams and visions. What was 2:28? Oops. Oh, it switched translations. I guess I'll stay that translation. It says, "After this, I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. In those days, I will pour my Spirit on on the servants, both men and women." So that's just, lot, you know, it tells us plainly here, He's want, He will speak to us through dreams. As for the old men and young men, I'm not exactly sure if that means the maturity level of our, how we are in our Christian walk or not. But when, you know, I have dreams, I have visions. I talk to Trina. I feel she's a little more mature than me. Yet she has dreams and visions. So He's, I don't think that's a maturity level. So I'm not sure what the young and the old means. But, you know, you can have dreams, you can have visions. There's a slight difference between the two. But, uh, it's not really, we're not going to get too deep into that. Know the big difference. But just different ways that God speaks to us. He just wants to speak to each one of us. This is more just important to know. We just need to listen to Him and just speak out. He says here, "I am the Lord. Speak to us." He wants us to invade our space. This is one of those things we can do if we want to have more dreams and visions is at nighttime before you go to bed, just ask God, "Can you speak to me during the night?" He says here, "I am to speak to me." And just see what happens. Do we want to get into more? You want me to share more about some of the other unbeliever dreams that unbelievers have? Or you can, you want me to go ahead? Your on that. So dreams are not, you know, everybody has dreams. It says not just believers have dreams, but unbelievers can also have dreams. So I was going to give you a couple examples here about to Trina's ready to jump back on here. She's messing with the camera at the moment. So, so Genesis 20:3. This is, okay, this is God came to say King Abimelech, I guess the practice says Abimelech. He, one of the kings in the area there. God came to this king in a dream one night and said to him, "You're going to die because of the woman that you've taken. She's a married woman." So God has warned him in a dream that he was well with a married woman. So he needed to not be with that woman anymore. So he does speak to, um, was an unbeliever. So he does speak to everyone. In the story, I'm not going to read the whole chapter. Judges 13-14. This talks about when Midian was going to invade, going to go into, um, not Midian, oh, Gideon was going to go into defeat the Midianites. And he went into their camp. And he wasn't sure. He kind of, he sent a spy into the land over to there to see what's going on. And he came across these two guys talking about a dream that he had. You see, I can find exactly what verse it was. Judges 13-14. Um, well, he was just talking about he had a dream. And, and it was just confirmation that they knew that this, they were about soon going to be defeated. That somebody was going to come in and they were, they were going to be despised of them. So now I can't find exactly where it's at. I should look that one up. The other one, you know, it's also in Genesis 42. It talks about Pharaoh and the butler and the baker. They both were unbelievers. And they both had dreams. One had a dream that he was going to be restored to his, his job. And the other one had a dream that he was going to meet his demise in a few days. And both of those dreams came true. King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream about what was to come to pass. And he was also an unbeliever. And is that the one in Daniel? Let me look that up. Daniel 2. Yeah. Daniel 2, verse 1. "During the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, he had some dreams. He was troubled, but he stayed asleep. The king sent for the musicians and the mystics and the sorcerers and astrologers and everybody else to tell them about his dream. The king said, 'I have a dream and I'm troubled by it, and I want to know what the dream was.' The king's astrologers spoke to the king in Aramaic, 'Your Majesty, may we live forever. Tell us your dream, and we'll interpret for you.' The king said, 'I meant what I said. If you can't tell me the dream, you'll be torn limb from limb, and your houses will be turned into piles of rubble.' And they said, 'But if you tell me the dream and its meaning, I'll give you gifts and rewards and high honor.' And then he said, 'Tell me your dream. We'll tell you the meaning.' Let me see some of this out here. And the king replied, 'I'm sure you're trying to stall some time because you know that I meant what I said. If you don't tell me the dream, you also receive the same punishment you have agreed upon yourself to make up a phony explanation to give me, hoping that things will change. So tell me the dream, and then you know, naturally had explained the meaning to me.' Well, well, I guess that's the story about he didn't want to tell him the dream. Fast forward, I guess Daniel was, Daniel was able to tell him what the dream was, and he was actually able to save those charlatans. And is that the same one? Excuse me here. He was able to save them because he knew what the dream was. He had the power of God upon him, the Holy Spirit upon him, that he was able to, God was able to interpret the dream for him, that, you know, gave him what it all meant. See, and also, you know, what the dream of Jacob that he had when he laid, he was laying, I guess, out in the desert or out in the wilderness, and he laid his head on a rock, and he had a dream, the one of Jacob's Ladder. He saw the angels descending and."

Ascending on this ladder, we're reading a little that today, and he, we didn't realize, actually, in that dream, he actually saw God at the top of the ladder. So we were like, "What? Somebody saw God and lived?" But I guess when you have a dream, you can't see God. I got this nasty tickle in my throat. Okay, I'm just about here to the end. Trina, so God just really wants to impart wisdom in the dreams to us. God wants to us to even ask us questions in their dreams. We can talk to God when we're in dream, in that dreamy state. We can actually ask him questions, and he sometimes we answer them. Sometimes he even asks you different things, like, "What do you want?" Well, I had a dream one time, he asked me what I wanted. Oh, I had no idea what I said. But well, I woke up when I had that dream, and I started telling God what I wanted, and I had no idea what I said. So I guess I'll find out. I think I'm starting to live whatever I told God what I wanted because God brought Trea into my life, and and she's dragging me into the school and making me teach in front of you guys. So I guess that was part of the dream to reach other people and bring them closer to God, to help to empower them.

All right, you're up. I'm ready. Whether I am or not, I am. Whether I am or not, I am ready. Ready, set, get launched. Am I still? If I stand over here, am I still center? Ever on the on all the cameras up there? Yeah. So this is an amazing book, and then I can share with you some other stuff too. Let me hold on a minute. I'm going to, I can share with you some other other ideas of things. But the biggest thing is, is you know, you can learn what the symbols mean. But the biggest thing is, is you know, see, for instance, I just open it up here to, you know, say, for instance, you're in a dream and you have, let's see, let me find something that's, say, for instance, you see a pilot in an airplane or something, you know, in your dream. You know, in here, it could be the Holy Spirit, one who is steering, spiritual guidance. Um, you know, and there's other, this is, of course, this is not the one that I wanted to read. Um, let me think. But there's, there's sometimes there's negative and positive things to different symbols, you know. Um, you got the biggest thing that you got to do is even if you get this book or one of the books, J. James G. has a book that has information in it that helps you with stuff like that. But the biggest thing is, it's not what that book says, it's what God says. And I, I want, I want you to understand that it's the relationship with you with God that will reveal what he wants to speak into that person. You know, when you're, if you're interpreting a dream or a vision or a tattoo, doesn't matter what it is. And all of it, you need to have that relationship with God more than anything. Like the relationship with God is key because, you know, Jesus was standing before some guys and they said that, you know, um, Jesus, we healed the sick in your name. And he said, "Depart from me, I know you not." Like that is important.

Want to say something? Oh, what? I don't know. What Kelly wants to say something? Oh, Kelly. Kelly, you want to say something? Yes, go for it. Hold on. Oh, all right. Can you pin her? Pin her? Yeah, wait a second. We're going to pin you. You've been pinned. There you go. Okay. Can you hear me? Yes. Okay. So, um, I was just, as you were talking about, it could be one object, but it has maybe a good and a bad meaning or connotation to it. Yes. And the most important thing is, you know, we cultivate, uh, hearing God's voice. But one example, um, that just came to me early on as I was learning about dream interpretation was like, say you dream about a dog, right? One person, a dog might be man's best friend. Oh, my buddy, my pal, you know, my companion, my loyal companion, my dog. To another person, they could have been attacked by a dog when they were little, and they see a dog, and it's instant fear. So it's one object that has two different things. But I heard, I don't know if it was Doug, a or but years ago, that said this phrase that the, the God of heaven, creator of heaven and earth, will bend down, or was L angle, will bend down, learn your language. Yes. Seek a dream in your language. Whether Trina is afraid of dogs, and I love them, or vice versa. He'll use those things, um, because he knows us even better than we know ourselves. So just wanted to give that dog example that. Yeah. Yeah.

So, um, I'm going to, I'm going to jump into tattoo interpretation and then I'm going to come back to wrap it all together and help you understand a little bit more of of the vision and dreams. Does that sound good? You all good with that? And I'm going to come over here a second. And J, want to share something when you do the ti teaching, okay? Just hold on. I need to share the screen. All right. Yes. You two fingers. All right. So I just want to share with you like this is one of my most amazing stories ever. So if you notice in the picture that the guy is car H holding a camera, that was my camera. And I was on a trip to Brazil. And I was in Brazil. And I had even been on a trip a couple days. And I had the camera in my backpack because it didn't really have any safe place to keep anything. So I had to carry everything with me that was valuable. And, um, this guy has a tattoo in the back of his calf. And so I, I started to prophesy. I felt like I was show me they had a call into media. And, uh, let's see, um, it's been a while. Um, he had a call into media. And I just started to prophesy. I don't exactly remember everything that I prophesied. And and he's, he's like, um, yeah, he says, I do have a call in the media. He said, and so I, I heard God say, "I want you to get your camera out of your backpack." And I'm like, "You want me to do what?" You know, and you have that little head conversation. I'm like, "Sorry, I get my camera out of my backpack." And I go up beside of him after I prophesied a little bit. And I, I put it behind my back and I said, "Hey, by chance, do you have a camera?" He said, "No." He said, "I've been believing by faith for a camera." So he had a tattoo of a camera on his calf, and it was a really nice done tattoo. Yet he did not have a camera to walk at his destiny. And he had faith to believe that God was was going to fulfill that call and give him what he needed to walk in where he was going. That's faith to get the tattoo. And, and so I pull, I pull the camera out from behind me and I said, "Here, God said I'm supposed to give you my camera." And tears are streaming down his face. Like he is totally, totally undone because he got the tattoo by faith, trusting that God would would fulfill it.

Um, so if you can swipe up there, two of them. Um, yeah, this picture here, this is really cool. So this is, um, a young man in a skate shop. And we went, we were in Brazil and we were out doing ministry. And these two dudes are amazing. Like they are really amazing. It's a tattoo shop and a skate shop together. And, and God gave me a word of knowledge for, I think it was the curly-haired guy first. And then the other guy is the manager of the place. And they got so rocked that they let me go back and prophesy over people that were getting tattoos that day. It was so crazy. He said, um, let me see. Tears were streaming with joy. And the fruit of God was moving. And God wrecked me for more of him. Show me the obedience of him as he poured out. And the awesome thing is, is the young man, I think he, I, I forget which one it was, to be honest. But one of those two young men messaged me a few years later, and they're working, or they were working for the ministry that I was with that day. They actually joined up with a ministry and they were helping with the meia and that ministry. So you just never know when you are the connecting point for two people or a person to join up with another group of people. And you never know how you're going to change their life. Um, you know, I don't remember. So flip it up. Um, two more. I think it's the scorpion. And so this is crazy. Okay. I don't know if you noticed that there's a line across right where the two claws are. I didn't see that. And so that whole day was crazy. That's the day I got rid of my camera. I gave away my camera. And my friend who I met up with, um, in sou Paulo, um, she, she said, "Well, can you meet up with my sister?" And I'm like, "Sure." Well, we had to jump. One, it's kind of like a metro in America. We jumped on the, the train and we took it to another train and got out there. And we went to a park. And it was like a long trip. It was just crazy. So we go to this park and we meet up with her sister. And I see this tattoo. And I hear God say, "The enemy tried to poison her." I didn't see the, the line where you try to commit suicide. I saw I saw the tail. And I heard God say, "The enemy tried to poison her." And I told her some other stuff. And she got so freaked out that she started yelling at her sister. They're talking, and I don't understand anything that they're saying. And she is like, mad at her sister because she thought that her sister told her everything about her. And I had this, um, word for her. I said, "I am, how was it? I seen a woman." Let me see here. It's been a little while since I had these. Um, and this was actually the first time. And I had this boldness and sense of urgency well up inside of me to tell her that day that she needed to decide what side she was going to be on. If she was going to be on God's side and F fill her destiny, or the enemy. And it was so, so strong. Like I only ever had that one other time. And I mean, it was really strong. Like she needed to make a choice. And I said, "The enemy tried to poison you." And she's like, "Just wrecked." When she hears that, her sister said, "No, I did not tell her anything. Just listen to what she has to say." And, um, and so here, the awesome thing is, is she had a dream. And in the dream, this woman is trying to pull her out of bed. And she knows that it's demonic. And she cried out to Jesus. I knew that the enemy was actually her. And I knew that she had to commit her life and had to commit it seriously. Like she needed to give her life to God. And not just pray the way, pray the word. She needed to really commit her life. And so she commits her life to God because the dream coincided with the words that I said to her. Like that boldness came, rose up inside of me and said, "Hey, you need to commit your life to God today. Like it's really, really urgent." And she was in really deep witchcraft at one time, you know, um, where she wore the whole outfit and everything. And she was seriously deep, deep into this. And God, like, just slowly started pulling her out, you know. That's, that's stuff that you need to, you got to pray that they have someone walk beside of them. But you can't be afraid because you got to trust that what God gives you, God's going to give someone else something to walk beside of him too. You know, I, I feel that we're, we're just a portion of the greater picture. And we literally have to be obedient to what God is showing us and trust that God is going to fulfill the rest of the story with other people. You know, if you've ever, um, prophesied with a group of people, you'd be surprised that sometimes you want to just share and share and share. But if you pull back and you only share, cuz like when, when we practice with Global Awakening, we were only allowed to share for like a minute, and then we had to let someone else jump in. And because they only had like five to seven minutes to prophesy over these people, and you had probably had four or five people in your group, so you had to be honoring. You learned how to honor everybody else that was around you. And you also learned that when you really pulled back, God had someone else say something very similar to what you were going to say. You're like, "Wow." You know, and, and you watch, like when you're really hearing God, you may even get the full picture. But each person gets a piece of it. And God's just trying to encourage you to help you know that you don't have to say every piece, especially when there's a group of people there, because God is going to fulfill it through someone else. But sometimes it is so strong that you have to share it. And you got to know that the only way you can know it is to practice. You know, and if someone tells you that you, you shouldn't be messing with God, you should be practicing. You know, what doctors have been practicing for centuries and they haven't gotten it right yet, you know. And I think there is a scripture that says you got to practice the gifts. The only way you're going to hear God's voice and know that it's his voice is if you learn what voice you're listening to because you have the voice of the enemy. You have the voice of all the people around you. You have the voice of your parents, your, your spouse, your kids, your co-workers, your bosses. And you need to determine, and even that silent voice from within you, you need to know, okay, is that my voice? Is that my thoughts? Is that my dream? Is it God's dream? Is it someone else? You know, what I heard someone else talk about that, I need to make sure that that's me. You know, we need to make sure that it's God. And the only way you know is the more you, the more you walk in discernment, the more you test each situation out as God's given it to you. And he's amazing, daddy. Like I believe that he's there trying to encourage you, trying to nudge you, and just trying to help you walk this out. You know, um, I mean, I literally feel like that's sometimes we get to be the one to save someone's life. So then we're going to go to. We have some more. Oh, so Jenna, you want to go ahead and share? I will. Yeah. Let me. You can. All right. There's one with a tattoo of the. You have to close that. That we'll get with you in a few seconds. You going to pin now? All right. There you go. Jenna, can you hear me? Yes. Okay. So actually, well, two things popped in. But the first one, again, there's something about food, restaurants. I don't know what. I'll have to consult. But the Lord, what what that is, because it seems to happen a lot with restaurants. But one night we were wai s and it might have actually been the same night when I ended up praying to those other people. Can you hear me or no? Yes. Yes. Okay. I'm trying to tell someone else. We were waiting to get seated. And this young lady came in. And she was waiting for a big cup of food. And she had a tattoo on her back. And for some reason, my eyes were just drawn to it. I couldn't stop looking at it. And it like, two little babies, I think it was, with like wings or something. And I just got this overwhelming feeling about it. And once again, you know, there's that like, not even about, not not worried about my husband or anything. Some of times it's just me like, okay, do I, am I supposed to say something or what? And I'm standing there. I'm looking at it, looking at it. And she checks out, she gets her food, she leaves. And then there's the overwhelming like, okay, I need to go see if she's still out there. Does I think I'm supposed to say something to her and ask her about that tattoo? And I go out towards the parking lot because he's like, okay, yeah, go ahead. And I go out to the parking lot. So, cuz I'm like, if you get stay in, I'll find you. But I'm going to, I got to go do this. And as I'm walking out, she was actually coming back in. She was coming in to get something because she forgot. She needed, she wanted like more packets of sauce or something. It was hilarious because I seen a car. I didn't know she was the one in it. I saw a door open. And I'm like, well, hopefully that's person. But I can't see. And then she got back out and she started walking in the parking lot. As she's coming towards me, I start goinging towards her. And I asked her about the tattoo. And I tell her, I meant that I noticed it when she came in to get her food. Well, she had lost babies. Those were those were babies that she lost. And so we got talking for a few minutes and stuff. And I asked if I could pray for her. And I mean, just like tears. And she, I don't, I think if I recall, cuz I don't know where it is. I know I journaled about it. But I believe she hadn't even been to this restaurant. And if she had, it had been quite a while. But she lived out of town. But she was looking for that type of food. So she had to come there that day, right? Like she just happened to be there. And I told her about about Victory Reigns and stuff too. Um, you know, just because I thought, well, maybe if she ever wanted to come for here and ministry. She up. It was just like one of those, you know, if I wouldn't have walked out there, who knows what that would have done for her. And then another night, same thing. I ended up at a restaurant talking to a young man. And he had a big Tanto on his arm. And that wasn't even the tattoo I initially asked him about. I looked at one and I saw his hand. I didn't see the inner part of his forearm. And he flipped his forearm over when I mentioned it. And it was a huge tattoo of his whole forearm of Jesus's head, um, with the crown of thorns and stuff. And, um, he had, he had gotten it as a cover-up. He said, over his girl, girl's name that he had tattooed on his arm. And I was like, well, I'm like, why'd you get that? I'm like, you know, I said, I have an idea why you got it. And he just listened to me so intently. I asked him how old he was. He said he was 17. I said, "You know, God wants us in covenant relationship. Doubt he doesn't want us in a place where you know, we can cause harm to ourselves or others." And I said, "I feel like you got that because you know, you, you were making right with the Lord about something for you and for her." And it was just interesting because he was so intent. Like he did, he did not veer away from my face when I was talking to him. I was like, you know, he, no disrespect, nothing. That's just what, that's what I saw. But I literally did not even see that tattoo. That's what was interesting. Cuz I was like, "Hey, what's that tattoo?" He flips his arm over. I'm like, "Oh, okay. That tattoo." So I've had some, I've had some cool encounters with that with people that come. That's amazing.

So I forgot to share with you the girl that had the scorpion tattoo. Can you hear me? Is it good? Is it, give me a thumbs up. It's good. Okay. Um, I forgot to share with you that when I told her that I saw the enemy poison her, she had tried to commit suicide several times. But the one time she drank anif freeze and she's in the hospital. And there's a nurse in theal hospital that told her that she was not going to die. Like, I don't know exactly what it was. It was like, "You're not going to die on my watch." Like, and she went after that in prayer. And like, she had a praying nurse in the hospital. You know, drinking anifree is not a good day, you know. And, and so the enemy did try to poison her. You know, I didn't, I didn't see the obvious, you know, where the scorpion had a hold of the, the lifeline on her on her wrist where she had tried to commit suicide, you know.

So we're gonna, if you can do the share screen again for me. And there's some pictures of some tattoos. If you can do The Hourglass one, if it's one in there. Hold on a second. Oh, yeah. All right. Well, have on the screen there. I, Thursday talking about tattoo interpretations. I was talking to a friend of mine. And here he had, um, um, him and his wife both got TCT to wedding bands. And they've been married for almost 20 years now. He's saying, "I don't know why why it is, but you know, I can't really get rid of it now." But I said, "Well, think of it this way. You got the permanent tattoo. You are the bride of Christ. He's the bridegroom. You're married to him. You plan on not divorcing him at all. You plan on having that relationship the rest of your life." And with that reminder around your finger, that he, you, you are planning never to depart from him. You'll be married to him the rest of of your life. You committed your life to him. And it's just a reminder every time you see that around your finger, that's a permanent mark on your finger. And once you realized that, he's like, "Oh, okay." So I went visiting another friend of mine, uh, Saturday. And I was telling about that testimony because he's not a huge fan of tattoos. And after telling him about that story of, you know, being married to him, and this is a permanent reminder every time you look at the tattoo on your finger, it's a permanent reminder. He goes, "Well, I think I might have to go get a tto now." So it's just, it's just awesome how God works. Sweet. That is awesome. Thank you. Thank you for sharing.

So there's a, we have a tattoo up there. And, um, so if you notice, like in this tattoo, just pretend that it's a tattoo, okay? It's kind of a drawing, but someone can actually have this actual tattoo on their arm. So if you notice over on the right, I have some information written, um, where go, when this disappeared, come back. And I just want to give you an example. Like the dove can be the Holy Spirit. It could be a piece. You know, there's so many different things. Even though what I have written there on to write. So if you can look at the picture without reading what I have written there, let's do it that way. So don't look at what I wrote, and just look at the picture and ask God to show you what he showed showing you about it. You know, and maybe he's showing you that there's some color in it too, because it doesn't have to be just black and white, you know. Ask God. We're just going to take a few seconds here. And we're just going to let you guys look at this. And and then we're going to have you guys interact a little bit. Um, we're going to just, we'll be able to use your voices. We won't be able to put your pictures up there, just to show who's talking. But everybody that's aw. One more. All right. So does anybody have any ideas of what God might be saying about this picture? Um, just go ahead and jump one. How about Joanne? Kathy? Joanne? Lori? You don't have to have your audio or video on. You just speak audio. Anybody out there? I had to get my unmute done. But but I would, I kind of asked Holy Spirit to show me kind of, um, what I see is on that hourglass. How intricate the design is that is around it, um, the swirls. But it's kind of like our life. It's very intricate in detail. And then as I'm looking at the dove, I thought at first it was branches. As whenever Genesis during the flood, that he came back with olive branches. But I looked through arrow and I asked the Lord, I said, "Why would the do be carrying arrows?" And what he, he, he revealed to me that arrows pierce our hearts. Oh, wow. Those hearts. I mean, arrows are piercing our hearts. The Holy Spirit is piercing our heart. It's not just our mind, but he's piercing our heart. And that's kind of what I've gathered from it. Okay. Continuing to study. Yeah. How about the rose? Do you? Well, actually, do you feel like the bird is like a piece of or, um, do you, you feel like God showing you anything about the bird itself? Well, it's definitely the Holy Spirit. Okay. Holy Spirit. That's cool. Yep. And, and those arrows that he's using, the Holy Spirit's using is piercing our heart. Okay. And, and that Holy Spirit is doing a number on my heart. That he's piercing it with, with the spirit of the Lord. Oh, wow. Come on. That's awesome. Anything else? How about Joanne? How about, um, Kathy? Mickey? Hello? Is anybody out there? Oh, Summer. Oh, Kelly. Sorry. Summer. We'll go. We'll get Kelly first. And then we'll get you. Go ahead, Kelly. Oh, okay. Sorry. I had a call from my son, so I couldn't hear what other people were just saying. So that's good. Okay. So I'll tell you what I saw. I heard at the end part. But, um, I felt like it, it was saying time. Like it's something about to happen soon because there's like only one quarter of the sand left and three quarters in the bottom. So that's saying it, it's like running out. But it's something going to happen soon. And I felt it was a visitation of Holy Spirit, you know, the dove, um, but bringing direction. And at first, I thought too, oh, something that's going to pierce the heart with the arrows. And then I, I really kind of felt I heard the Lord say that it could pierce the heart, but it's he's bringing direction because arrows can point, you know, like a street sign. Arrows are directional. So something coming soon from Holy Spirit that's going to bring direction. And it's going to be beautiful because that was the rose. The foundation of it was the rose. And the foundation is beautiful. Wow. So this is really cool. Like, so how about you, Summer? What do you get? Can you guys hear me? Y- Yep. Okay. Can you guys hear me? Yep. We got you. Okay. It was echoing. My voice was echoing back into my. It's okay. So the second that I looked at it, I immediately, like Kelly, heard or the thought came to mind about time. Like time is running out. Um, and yes, I see the dove, and I know that's the Holy Spirit. But I think I was more focused on the rose because I know the way that I am with when it comes to any kind of flower, especially roses, that it's such a beautiful gift from God. And so I put the two together as time is precious, and time is beautiful, and to make what time you have left beautiful. So I put together the, and it's funny you guys see arrows because I don't see arrows. They're in the mouth of the dove. Oh, and hold on. If you guys are talking, I can't hear. I don't know what's going on with my sound. Hold on. The arrows are in, in the Dove's mouth.

We can type it in the chat for you. Okay. Okay. Um, so I love this. You know, every one of them have, you each have something a little different. And, you know, and also like when we see like time is running out, we want to flip that kind of. So one of the things that I was seeing was, I wrote down here, "Time is running out." And it's a, but it's a new season. And so one of the ways that I got that was at the top of the of the hourglass, there looks like it had been connected, but it's not connected anymore. And I felt like, like God was creating a freedom. Like there was a freedom coming. That that there is the time, even though the time, the sand was coming down, it was an ending of an old season and a new season was coming, like a season of freedom. You know? And then I got, um, like the Holy Spirit, like saying the believers, the spiritual boundary, you know, like the, but you can also get, it could be disobedience. But I, I feel like that it's like, in, in this, I feel like even though like what, what God, what the enemy meant for harm, God is going to create something greater. So all the time that the enemy has destroyed, I, I felt like in this, in this tattoo, that God is going to create an avenue for this person to see. Because people represent the grains of sand. Like Abraham was going to have, you know, a huge amount of children. It was greater than this, the number of the amount of sand that was out there, which is a lot, you know. And we're seeing that today. But I feel like, like it, trying to think, um, I'll pull it all together here. And sometimes when you try to dissect it, it doesn't always sound as good as when you're going to actually just say it. Um, and a lot of times when you're saying it, it's going to be the Holy Spirit. And you may not remember how you say it. So the arrows, it could be direction. It could be even deliverance. You know, it could be the prophetic. I think I love when you said about direction. I love how you, you said about it's going to pierce the hearts. And I feel like that's the deliverance part too. So when it pierces the heart, it's like a double-edged sword. You know, God's going to remove the bad and, and put in some really good stuff in there. You know, when it's negative, you want to flip it. You want to flip it good. Like sometimes if the, the sand is running out, it could be like judgment. It could be like a time when it's not going to be good. And that's what you see. But you want to be talking to God in the process. Like, "God, what are you saying about this?" And that's the important thing. Um, the rose could be Jesus. It could be because he's the rose of Sharon. It could be the church. It could be love. It could be beauty. It could be heavenly Father as your gardener. You know, and I love how you brought it together and you said it was like a beautiful gift from God. You know, I just, I love the creativity. You know, is this is awesome. I love this. Seeing, you know, it could also mean death, you know, that their time is running out, you know. And if you see that, you want to speak life into it. You encourage them. Hey, hey, you know, um, what are some of the things you're dreaming about? Have, do you have like a bucket list? And you want to finish the things on your list? You know, saying in a way that it doesn't mean death, you know, but encouraging them to run after the things that are in their life. You know, somehow bring it together where you help them to want to grab hold of God in these moments. You know, and, and in that, you never know when God can like flip it. And it's not, you know, maybe the enemy is trying to take them out, but God can do greater. And so your prayers can be powerful. And you can even pray against that thing. You know, you can pray, God has substantial life for you. Whatever God is showing you, that's what you want to pray. But if it's negative, you want to really tap into God and make sure that it's God. Because God is edifying, encouraging, and uplifting. And he'll show you how to flip something. Um, leaves are healing. They, life. Their righteousness. In, and there's a lot of leaves around the rose. Um, you know, and, and I have that at the bottom. The Holy Spirit is bringing deliverance that will release the old and bring the new season. You know, and you can even go as far as, you know, you know, in this, there's pencils all over the place. There's colored pencils in there. And, you know, God is, is creating a beautiful tapestry in you. And, and the story is not finished yet. You know, that's one way of flipping it. If you see something negative, you know, what the story is not finished yet. Even though you feel like the sands of time and, and you're, and things are running out, is like, you know, grab a hold of God because your time is not done yet. You know, that person hasn't died yet. You know, you never know when God may step in. It's like with, with the guy, um, Hezekiah. I think, um, Isaiah went to him and told him that he was going to die. Was it Isaiah? I think. No, Elisha. Elisha was telling him he was going to die. And, and, and he begged and begged. And God gave him 15 more years. Like, just because someone says something or just because you see that we have the power of our words. And when we hear what God is saying, and we come in agreement with that, we can create, like, you know, we are creative beings. And we can create, you know, it's forthtelling and foretelling. And so the prophetic is, is not just telling the future, but also creating the future. If that helps. Let's see if you can flip it. Um, um, see, get questions. Someone said they had some songs that come up with with the picture. Songs? What kind of song? I don't know. Who is it? She has a, she has Doug P. What's her name? Oh, Jenna. Jenna. Um, go ahead. Actually, we have to just wait. And we'll, we, yeah, go ahead and, and unmute yourself. Jenna. When I looked at the picture, the first thing I heard in my head was "Time Keeps On Slipping Into the Future," that song by Steve Miller Band. And that, that song's come up again recently, like not too long ago for me. Um, I don't even remember what it was like where I was, but that came into my mind. So that was the first thing. And I just Googled like what it was like what they were talking about with it. And it says in here, it says, "Time keeps on slipping away from the narrator in the song. It keeps disappearing into the future." So the only logical thing to do is turn into an eagle and fly into the future into freedom. That's awesome. Picture about, you know, like renewing yourself on eagle's wings. And eagles being freedom. And actually, not too long ago, I think it was last week, we had an eagle flying over our backyard, like in the field behind our house. And then it flew over towards the neighbors. I've not seen that before here. Wow. I've seen eagles, but not here at this property. Like that. That's pretty cool. On the bottom right away, the three beads under the rose, to me, was the Trinity. Yeah. And then the rose, recently on the radio, there was a song. There was a song by Andrew Ripp that I had not heard before. But it's about roses. And basically, what he's talking about is like, why would God make the rose knowing that the thorns right were going to be on there? And later, the thorns would be used for the crowd W and Jesus would die. And it's, it's actually a beautiful song. And what he's talking about is like the hardship, but also the beauty in it. You know, there's the beauty in it. And then the arrows were children. The Holy Spirit was carrying children. W. And I actually am wearing a sweatshirt tonight that, um, our kids ministry at church is, um, it's called Aros. And then they fashion it after Psalm 127, 3-5. Wow. That's amazing. I don't know what it all means, but that, that's really cool. If that popped in right away on that, I'm like, "Wow, okay." Well, that shows us that God speaks to each person differently when we allow the Holy Spirit to breathe on us. Like Edie, most of you know who Edie is. You know, she's one of our ministry partners. Um, she, she was prophesying over a tattoo on somebody. And she, don't always like to tell them which one she's, she's talking about because then they focus on that tattoo. And, and they kept saying, "Well, which one are you talking about?" Because this guy like had a big sleeve of all kinds of tattoos. And, and she's like, "No, I don't want to tell you which one it is. I want you to focus on, I want you to focus on the word that God gave me from it." And there, they were adamant. She, they just didn't let her learn. And she said, "All right, fine." And she goes, "It is not there." That's crazy. I saw it. This is what I saw. And she explained exactly what tattoo she saw. And it was not there. So God allowed her to see something visual, you know, a vision, but it wasn't even in existence. Like, that's even crazy, crazy. So I wouldn't be surprised if the person didn't go get a tattoo somewhere on their arm.

So one of the things I'll send you, I'll send you an email of like the different, um, the different tattoos that I, I experimented with and what I got with them. And these are some of the questions that you can ask. You can say, "Does the location of the body make a difference in the tattoo?" Anybody has have an answer to that? Anyone want to answer? Kelly, go ahead. Oh, I was just nodding my head. Yes, it does. It does matter. I don't know if you want me to go into it or not. You want to give an example? Pardon me? Do you have any examples? Um, a lot of times on the right arm or the right leg can be something new. And the left, I believe, because it's closer to the heart, can represent family or something very dear to them. Yeah. That's good. So, like, also, um, sometimes God will will ask you, "Hey, have them step forward." And so normally, when someone steps, they usually step with their right first. But a military person will step with their left. So it's usually backwards. Yeah. So, yeah. So I'm believing, Kelly, someone's gonna, God's going to give you a military person and flip it on you. And you're going to get to test it out. Yeah. So, like, um, around the head, um, a lot of times people have, a lot of times, like around the eyes, they're usually visionary. They can see. Um, around their nose, like even piercings can be the same thing. You could start to prophesy. Ever piercings, like around their nose, um, it means that they have discernment. They, they know things. A lot of times it's a play of words too, you know, like the L times you'll see like they'll have a tear. And you know, yeah, it could mean that it's a gang member or, I don't know exactly what all it means. But what if it's the compassion of Christ crying? You know, God can give you all kinds of things to flip what was meant for harm and create something. So I had this guy one day, um, I guess we could end to stop the share. And it should pop us right back out. When you're back into the share, then later. Yeah, there you go. And then up in the, click that right button, the green one, clear up on the on the left. The green. Yeah. There you go. Sweet. All right. So this guy had this huge, ginormous Pitbull tattoo on his on his forearm. It was ginormous. And, um, and it was, it was really, really done nicely. You get it? So I walked up to him. And we were in a very well-to-do area of California when I saw this. And I asked him, I said, "Hey, I said, I love, love your tattoo." And the reason why I tell people I love their tattoos, it might not be that I really love tattoos, cuz a lot of them are really ugly, but they do because they tell me a story about the person. And it opens a door where I did not have a door open. Because a lot of times people can be really closed off and they don't want to hear what other people have to say. You know, and they've been hurt by people with tattoos. So this guy's like, "Oh, no, man. I don't like the tattoo at all." You know, "I got that when I was college and it's just, it's it's a horrible remembrance every time I look at it." So the awesome thing that God did, he flipped it. And he flipped it good on him. So I said, "Well, can I share with you what God is saying about you?" It, and it is really, really good. And he's like, "I, yeah, I guess so." He let me share. And I said, "What God said about you, and it was a pull." I said, "So, you know, sometimes it's a play on words. Like, what does a pit bull mean in the world? A pit bull, when it grabs a hold, it locks its jaw." And so what I heard God say is, "Tell him that he's like a pit bull. And what he grabs a hold of, he gets like that death grip. One things and hell and high water is not going to stop him from persevering in that place." And I, and I told him, I said, "As you press into the Lord more, I feel like you're going to see the things of God come true in your life. And as you grab a hold of them and you become one with Christ in that thing, like you're going to really see these things come together." You know, I don't always get real Christian ease on a lot of people, but sometimes I do because they're, especially right now, they're teetering. So you need to know what God is saying for that person. Because, you know, we know somebody that just by praying for that person, just like took them off on the deep end and lost all connection with that person. And you just got to know what you're who you're talking to and what you're talking to them about. And a lot of it is, if you're not asking God, and you don't have the relationship with God, you kind of miss it. But don't be afraid that you're going to miss it. Like that's the enemy. And you cannot walk in that place of fear.

Um, another, another thing is, what are some of the characteristics you see in the tattoo? You know, when we saw the one with the hourglass, you know, certain things popped out at certain people. You know, the arrows popped out. You know, Summer didn't even see the arrows at first. You know, um, it's, it's what God shows you. And you focus only on that thing. What God is showing you to focus on. You might not see anything else on that tattoo, but that one thing that God shows you, um, is what you're going to, you're, you're going to see God prophesy out of. And, um, so we're going to share the screen one more time. And you want to do it. And it's the tattoo, um, of the sleeve. And while they're getting that ready, I'm going to share a story about this. So it is really important for us to to be obedient to what God says. And learning obedience is key to which one, um, the one up there in the, oh, hold on a second. Think believe scene all the, there it is. Had.

To do Zoom to zoom to fit. First, all right. So this tattoo, we're going to give you a few minutes to focus. And I just enlarged the one on the right. It's just enlarged of what you see on the left. So I know the picture kind of cuts off a little bit of the face on the left, but I apologize for that. So this is going to give you a few minutes, and I'm not even going to share with you anything.

[Music] Yet. Sorry. You, that's funny. I talked about cloths, the cloth in that b. Question for, for, for, for e.

All right, anybody got [Music] anything? Anybody who hasn't jumped on yet? A, I got scared. You get what scared you get scared? A weird feeling like when I look at the clock, okay? Then I see the little boy run. Okay. Okay. Can you hear me? Yeah, yeah, we can hear you. Okay. Um, like the little boy running up the stairs, which automatically scares me because it looks like there's water there. Mhm. But then I know that you didn't zoom in on the woman on the bottom part of the forearm, but I see that too. But it gives me a creepy feeling. Like, so every so often I have really big, eerie dreams. Mhm. And when I look at that, that's the same feeling I get. Okay. I don't, I don't know what it means. Okay.

All right, well, we can talk. We can, we can call you and talk about that and help you. Yeah, a beautiful tattoo. Like, I'm in awe, especially over the woman on the bottom part. I'm like, wow, that's really good. Yeah. So Kelly, did you get something? Yeah, I did. And, um, at first, my computer is small, and at first, so I enlarged it a little. I made my screen a little bigger. Cuz at first, I just thought, oh, dark, evil, which might be. But, um, so I saw then that the bottom part, the face on the arm, was more looked like a woman. I couldn't tell that until I enlarged it. And I felt that that is the person. And then the, the child running up the stairs is either their inner child or a memory that that person may be having of trying to escape something. And like this just said, running over the water, you think you're going across, which it might be scary if it's like, you know, a bridge is so far high above the water, or crossing over into something in hopes of it being better. But this inner child or memory of a child is trying to escape, but they're really feeling dread because they, they're just going to go into something else that's shattered. I see the clock is shattered. Time was shattered. So it might have been a traumatic, um, experience or something in that child's life. And the woman below is reflecting on that. That's, that's what I got.

That's really good. Anybody else? Joanne, are you in there? All right. I know there's other people out there. What are you doing? Talk to me. How about Lori, Kathy, Mickey, or whoever Mickey Mouse is? Yeah, this, this is Lori. Okay. What do you get? My husband is very good at that Back to the Future movie. The, what with the, with the Back to the Future movie? Okay. With the lightning, the lightning strike on the clock tower. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm seeing there lightning bolts. And it's that such a powerful, um, it, it's a powerful force of nature from God, the lightning. I mean, even on when you read scripture, it talks about thunder and lightning and earthquakes and, and, and it's just all God's hour. Mhm. And I see the clock is at 125. And I'm, I'm, I'm trying to figure out what purpose is of that time. And I haven't quite gotten an answer to that. Maybe somebody else has that. But you see that all the, the, the cogs inside the clock have to be connected. And they have to be working properly for that clock to keep moving. And that child, I mean, God works outside of time and space. And when I'm looking at that, it reminds me that God works outside of time and space. And you had talked about forthtelling, um, in prophecy. And in a way, I keep hearing forthtelling. Something has been forth told in this person's life. And this child is going in that direction where that, where something was forth told. There was a prophecy spoken. Here come on. And that God's power, in God's power is in the midst of it. His, his lightning is in the midst of this. And, and, and even though the cogs are all in line, God still has control of that time, of of that child's life. And whether there's a flood coming or whatever, God is still in the midst of this. And he's, he's doing what he needs to do in this person's life. I don't understand the picture of a woman unless this child is a part of that woman's life. Sweet. That's really cool. Here, we're going to have, um, Tina and Jeff share a few minutes. Up.

All right. Uh, first thing, I, you know, I've seen a child in the steps. So looks like a child's wearing like sweatpants. So the first thing it comes, the step, steps, and sweatpants is like the Rocky movie. Like he's training, the going uphill. And that's like the worst thing for training is uphill training because it just takes up so much time and energy. But in the end, after, you know, do so much training, it, it's victory because you have conquered the steps. So as you're racing up the steps, as he's going over waters, as he trouble water, so you're racing over top of troubled waters into victories where he's heading into. So come on. That's awesome. Awesome. Come on, Tina. Jump in. Get the hot seat. Whatever. I immediately drawn to the boy racing, running up those steps. I feel like he's just running up those steps. It's like he's running kind of like against, maybe against the current, or he's running against time because he's running that to that clock. And as he runs up to that clock, the clock is actually disappearing, starting to disappear into the water. And as you can see in the one corner of the clock, it's missing. So it's like it's, it's disappearing. The cogs are out of line. And just like he's running against something, like he's like something's happening in his life that he's racing towards before he runs out of time. Wow. That is amazing.

So, um, this is what I got. So, and, and I love, like, none of us are wrong. Like, that's the amazing thing. And I love some of the cool, the cool ideas. You know, like I love the, the Rocky, you know, Rocky Balboa, you know, training, like, you know, and running, you know, um, where the clock's disappearing. And people are saying, you know, time, you run, running against time, running against the current, you know. And I just love what you guys were saying. You know, and this is what, what I felt like God was saying for me is, I felt like it's like, oh, sleeper. You know, and like the little boy is running into God, who is beyond time. Like he's running up the stairs, he's climbing, he's leveling up, he's finding who he is. Like he's getting away from the enemy. Me, um, you know, the clock is breaking apart, time is, time is running out, but he's going to make it because God's beyond time. And I just love how the stairs goes through the clock. And the clock has it, like, I love how Lori said that the, the works of the clock have not run out yet, you know, they haven't broken apart yet. But the, you know, the lightning and like the storm, like even the stormy water, you know, it could be the Holy Spirit too, or it could be the enemy. You know, in the storm, um, you know, there's, there's so much. And, and Lori, you said about, you felt like there was something significant about the time. So I've heard Ephesians, um, 1:20. Let's see. Um, they don't have 1:25, but it felt like it was like 1:20. I'm, wasn't quite sure about that. But this is what I, I, I got. It says, um, starting in 1:18, it says, I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, his holy people, and his incomparable great power for us who believe. The power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at the right hand in the heavenly realm, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is the body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Like, um, I, I was amazed because I, I knew that someone passed. When I was doing this training, I used that, that particular picture. You can actually, um, stop the share. Um, and let me share with you this story. And then we're going to go into a little bit of the visions and stuff. And I'll send you some more information about the tattoo interpretation because that's my heart. Um, I think I might have some actual teachings that go more in depth. Um, so this, this is how God will purpose you to be in the right place at the right time. I've been on like four different trips to Costa Rica. And I love how God purposes. Like, as you go, my, my measuring stick as I go is deeper and wider. And since 2012 and 13, when I'm traveling, everything is deeper and wider. Like I, there's a greater understanding of like, when I go back, the relationship with the people that I stay with is deeper. I always love staying with the people. And then it's wider. I meet more people. So like with Jenna, you know, um, I first met, um, a friend named Margaret and Roy. And I met them in 2009 at at a global awakening event in VA. And so as I started traveling, I, I started going to visit. Then I get to meet their, her, their friend Judy. Like Margaret says, hey, you need to meet my friend Judy. And so then I meet Judy's friends, Jenna, Carol, and someone else. And I meet them at Bear Creek one weekend. Like, and we just happen to be at Bear Creek. And now I go to visit Carol and go hang out with Jenna and Judy and Margaret. And so I even had an opportunity to speak at a church that, um, Margaret and Roy go to up in Wisconsin. And I got to actually teach on tattoo interpretation up there. So it's, it's greater. Like every time you go back, it's deeper and wider. And I love, like, you know, people keep telling me I need to grow roots. I do. And they're just everywhere because the root system that I have goes deep. And his name is Jesus. You know, and so anyone tells me that I need to grow roots in this town, yeah, they can like follow me around for a little bit and they can see what I do. Because, you know, if we look at what Jesus did, Jesus sent them out by twos. And he said, look for the peace in the house. You know, he said, go, and as you go, heal the sick, raise the dead, set in liberty the captives, cast out demons, you know, cleanse lepers, whatever. As you go, he doesn't care where you go. He says, as you go. And some went to Asia, some went to, you know, all over the Middle East. I don't know. Um, they didn't have, they didn't have, uh, USA yet. That's another animal of itself. So, but when they went, they looked for the peace in the house. You know, and sometimes they did, weren't received. You know, there's some places I've been that I wasn't received real well. And it's okay. You just dust, dust off your feet and you go on. And you may or may not go back there. You, sometimes you may be invited back. You might have to choose. God, is this you? Do I go back? You know, what I encountered the first time, is it you to go back the second time? And sometimes he'll say yes. And you might have an amazing moment. It might be a hard time. You just never know. So I was in, um, Costa Rica. And, um, I got invited to go back on a second trip. And this trip was a crazy trip. Um, I ended up going into Nicaragua. And literally, we, we thought World War II was breaking out. And there's more to the story. Some of you may have heard it. Um, I think I'll probably do a video clip of it and send it to you that way I can share more later. So anyway, it was a trip through hell with God. Let's just put it that way. And at the end of, at the beginning of it, I do need to share this. God just reminded me because this is a testimony for you all. At the beginning of the trip, I thought everything was planned out. We think everything is planned out. I heard three days before I left. I heard a voice. I didn't know that it was God. I heard a voice and it said, don't go. God, was that you? Nothing. God said, did you just say don't go? I'm like, the next day came by and I'm like, God, if that was you, like, let me know. You know, I, I had most of the money that I needed to go on the trip. I had the flights. Um, I thought everything was lined up. You know, it was, it was crazy. I'm even walking on a plane. I'm like, God, if that was you, I won't go. I just need no. I'm not hearing anything. No. Crickets. Nothing. Nothing. I'm telling you, nothing. I go on a trip. And it literally was a trip through hell with God. And I literally put three other people's lives in danger. And to the point that we saw, um, military, um, soldiers with AK-47s at point blank, pointing the guns with fingers on triggers at us. And there was eight of them. And, and, and I say that I caused three other people's lives to be in danger because God said it was God's voice that said, don't go. And the way I knew that was, um, when I got on the plane that day, I heard numbers 2222. And I'm like, I love when God gives me scripture. And I'm like, done. Like I am toast. I can't wait to get to Fort Lauderdale to kiss the ground, you know, of USA. And they know that I'm free. American. I don't care what anybody says. American. You are free. Like if you don't believe that we're free, go to another country and you can find out how free we are. And so I, I'm like, all right. So I look, I get my Bible out and I look it up. And I'm like, um, it's the story of Balaam, by the way. And I'm like, you, you, you're talking to me. Like, and I found horrible. And I'm like, what? Like, and I, and I, I'm like, talking to him like I have a person beside me. So I'm like, trying not to like be too boisterous, you know. And I'm like, and I'm about ready to cry. And I'm just a wreck. I am totally a wreck because like God's telling me that I was blaming him. And I'm like, God, I asked you, like, for three days, I asked you. And I'm like, all but cry. And I'm like, God, I asked you, like, if it was you. And this is what I heard. God say to me in an audible voice. I hear God say, why do I need to tell you twice? Wow. I think it like sucked all the air out of me. And I'm like, I was a wreck. And because I walked in disobedience, I jeopardized three other people's lives. And, and I will share the video. Um, it is an amazing story. It's an amazing testimony of God. And this is this part I will share. So while I'm in a shower on that last day before I go to the airport, I feel like my shoulder like has extreme pain in it. I think it was the right shoulder. And I'm like, like, and I'm in the shower, okay? So, and I'm like, oh, God, is a word of knowledge. I know it's more knowledge. God, I just want to go home. I just want to go home. God, I just want to go home. Like, I'm too tired. Like, didn't know that I was walking in disobedience already. And I'm whining. I am whining. Literally, I was just wanting to get home and kiss the ground in Fort Lauderdale. And I did. So we get to the airport. And I'm, I'm looking for where the person, cuz I knew God was really serious. And I see this lady in a wheelchair at the gate. And so I walk up to her. And she has an arm and a sling. There's no cast or anything. So I don't know what's going on. It's just an arm and a sling. And so I walked up to her. And I asked her, hey, by any chance, do you have a problem with your shoulder? She's like, yeah. How do you know? I said, well, I was in the shower this morning. And, and I felt like I gave me a word of knowledge for someone to going to get their shoulder healed this morning. And she's like, what? Like, how do you know? And so she injured her shoulder. She broke her shoulder while she's in the shower. So even that part was word of knowledge. And so the crazy thing is, is, um, all of her shoulder pain went away when I prayed for her. And when I pulled my hand across her, her, like her collarbone area, she had actually twisted the bone. Like she really, really broke it. And it twisted the bone. It ripped the bone. And when I pulled my hand across it, literally healed the bone. And you could see almost like the stripe of fingers coming across in the X-ray. She gets back to America. And I didn't know that she had broke her arm in a couple of other places. I would have prayed for all of it. But, you know, she didn't, I guess she was excited that her shoulder got healed. And all of her pain went away. Well, when she got to the doctor's up in, I think she was up in Illinois, the doctor was mad because he said, you should have got surgery the day you had that accident. I didn't even know that she didn't get surgery right away. So she's in jeopardy. Like if it would have been for God healing her shoulder, she would have had a jacked up shoulder for a long time. And he said, you better hope it did not start to set, or you're going to be really in trouble. And so they come back with the X-rays. And she had a set of X-rays from the accident. But she didn't have the money to get anything done in in Costa Rica. So she was waiting till she got home. Well, he's like, you have the wrong X-rays. This is not your shoulder. These X-rays that you brought with you are not your shoulder. And you could see the swipe across her shoulder bone that that where God healed her. Like he didn't make it perfect. He literally made it so you could tell that she did have it broke, but it was healed. And it was completely healed. She has no problem with her shoulder. So God healed her shoulder that day. So we stayed in touch, but not a lot. And I didn't really know how much she really got healed. I didn't really know how much she gave God credit. So, um, I was praying for another guy. Me and Edie were praying for another guy in Starbucks one day. And he literally had two casts on his feet. And he was walking on crutches. And he broke the heel on one foot and the outer bones on the other foot. And he was really messed up. He fell off of some scaffolding. We prayed for him. And God healed both of his feet in Starbucks. So we're like excited. He's jumping up and down. And, um, um, with the next day, he cuts the cast off of one foot without talking to doctors. Was not, uh, we did not tell him to do that. His boss is really good friends with us. And he talked him into saying, hey, dude, could you like, wait at least one week before you cut the other cast off? So as soon as he cuts the other cast off, he's jumping up and down on his feet. Like they're completely healed. And it was only like two or three weeks after the accident. Well, if you shattered your, your heel, you're not going to be jumping up and down in two to three weeks. No. So God, he completely heals. And I'm posting this video. She comes up and she's, um, in a text and she says, or in a message, she said, yeah, God used Trina to heal my shoulder a few years ago. And I'm like, what? Like, oh my gosh, I forgot all about that. It opened up a door to stay in another location in Costa Rica. So we're on outreach. We're staying in Costa Rica in this beautiful, um, stone house, cleared up on the top of Hako mountain that oversees all of Hako. It's a gorgeous area. And we went down into Hako to do some ministry with some friends while we were, um, staying for the house while they were in America, America. It was this beautiful opportunity. Like we were there for two weeks. Like, so God can open doors like this. Just walk in obedience. And he can show you favor and show you other opportunities. So if I wouldn't have prayed for her and God healed her shoulder, this opportunity wouldn't have opened up. This is amazing. Okay, I'm going somewhere. So we're in Hako. We're down and we're the, so the missionary friend, he drops off his wife and I on the street corner. And we're waiting for a translator to come. And he takes Edie there to get gas. Well, what is the chances of that tattoo that you just prophesied over with the woman at the bottom and the little boy running up the arm? What is the chances of that same tattoo being when the young man is walking his bike with a friend right past me? I got that tattoo off the internet. I had, I had, um, taught on tattoo interpretation about a week before I left to go to Costa Rica. That time. What is the chances of God bringing a person? And I had in my phone at that time, like, just like you guys, I wrote down the stuff you guys were talking about. And I'm going to try to put that all on my phone because I just never know when God might bring that tattoo around again. So this young man stops. My friend can translate enough to help him understand what I'm saying. And we get to prophesy over his tattoo. Everything that the people in America said. Joanne was one of them. She's on here. I don't know if she's not got a video on or she like checked out or not. But anyway, it was amazing. And it, you should have seen the smile on that kid's face. We have a picture of the tattoo. And I'll have to get it to you because I don't know where I do with it. I have it somewhere on my computer, but I'll send it to you to show you. It's totally different tattoo, but it's exactly the same tattoo. And you can tell that it's not the same, um, person that designed it. God can put you in places like that to help you, um, speak life into somebody. And it is important to walk in obedience. Like that is what I, I pray that if you can learn nothing more in this class, but learn the importance of hearing God's voice and to walk in obedience and to go after him with every ounce of your heart, your soul, your spirit, your strength, and learn to love him so you can learn to love yourself and that you can love the person in front of you. You know, and go after the, uh, like we're not going to arrive tomorrow, but we don't have to be where we were yesterday either. And the more we get whole, the more we can get filled with him. And you get filled up more and more and more. And God's going to talk to you more and more. You know, um, so I'm going to go back to some scriptures to help you with, um, some dream interpretation and some t, uh, not tattoo interpretation. I didn't have that in there. So let's see. I really feel like, um, Nebuchadnezzar. Anybody know what where that might be? That's in that was Joseph, right? No, Daniel. Daniel. Oh, sweet. You're awesome. Jeremiah has it too. I'm not sure which one, which story. The, the one in, um, Nebuchadnezzar and in Daniel is the one. And, and it's so, I feel like I pray that you take back to God everything that we talk about today and any day. And anything that any pastor tells you, take it back to the word of God. And go, go back and ask God, what is he saying? Because we may not always be right. And you don't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater. You know, and so I just want to encourage you, um, Daniel, um, is it starting, uh, is it going 48? Talks about the, the meaning of it. Oh, that's the second dream. Okay. We want to go to the first dream. Okay. Two, try two. Okay. So we're just going to set the stage here. So I think I might have talked about this a little bit prior in another, another one of our classes, but so it really will go hand in hand. Um, so Daniel found favor with Nebuchadnezzar. And he found favor with lots of kings. So I believe that as you walk in obedience, there's a good chance that just like Jesus, because Jesus lives in you, he found favor with God and with man. And Daniel found so much favor with the man who was in charge of them that he gave them the ability to eat what they wanted, eat what they wanted to eat. So they're honoring God. You know, that's the biggest thing is honoring God over honoring culture. Because when you honor culture over God, you open a door to the religious spirit that is no more than lukewarm Christianity. And, and so Nebuchadnezzar gets furious because he has this dream. And none of his, um, what do you call them? The sorcery people, the, um, astrologers and the diviners, none of them, none of them know how to do what he wants. He wants them to tell him his dream. So that's crazy. Like I wish Edie was here. And I'm going to get her testimony because she saw this in in in Malo back in April. She literally told a guy what his dream was without him telling her anything about having a dream. And she said, I know you had a dream and this was blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He's like, freaked out. He's like, like, how do you know? And she gave him the translation. It can happen. And I'm pretty sure that, um, because Chris heard Ed's faith on that and courage, he gets into a church service, um, a couple days later and does something very similar. So I'm going to get them to share their testimonies. It's just radical. Like where God needs to show up and he has obedient people, he will show off. And, and it's not because he wants to build you up, he wants to, he wants to shine. So in the midst of this, Nebuchadnezzar down in 12, he said, this made the king so angry and furious that he orders the execution of all, all, all wise men of Babylon. That means Daniel and his three friends are going to be executed. So the decree was issued to put the wise men to death. And the men were sent to look for Daniel and his friends to put them to death. So these guys are coming to kill them. But in the midst of it, this is awesome. The commander, King's Guard, had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon. Daniel spoke to him with wisdom and tact. So he wasn't arrogant, and wasn't prideful. He had God's wisdom. He had the spirit, the wisdom on him. And he asked the king's officer, why did the king issue such a harsh decree? Can you imagine someone coming to kill you? You're like, oops, hey, can I ask, like, why is it such a harsh decree? And so then he explained the matter to Daniel. And at this, Daniel went in to the king. He went to the king and he asked for time so that he might interpret the dream for him. Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. I can't say their real names, I'm sorry. He urged them to plead for mercy from God of heaven, discerning the mystery, so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. During the night, the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. And Daniel praised God of heaven and said, so he praised God for the answer. God gives him the dream and God gives him the interpretation. But this is what I love. So in the interpretation, when Daniel gives him the interpretation, he doesn't just save his own hide. He doesn't just save his friends' lives. But he asks this of the king. Then Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men of Babylon. And he said to him, do not execute the wise men of Babylon. Take me to the king, and I will interpret his dream for him. So he asked for all the wise men not to be killed. Like that's a leader. As we start walking out more of who we are and how we walk out as a leader, we're not just looking out for the Christians. He's looking out for people who were probably against him. He didn't care. They people, he didn't care about that. He didn't want anybody to perish. You know, and so in the dream, so the dream was, um, verse 31. Oh, down to 31. Wow. It's clear down there. That's very right. Thank you. You looked, oh King, and there before you stood a large statue, an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. The head of the statue was made of pure gold. Its chest and arms of silver. Its belly and thighs of bronze. Its legs of iron. Its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue and its feet of iron and clay, and smashed them, or smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken into pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. This was a dream. And now we will, we, oh, now we will interpret it to the king. You, oh King, are the King of Kings. The God of heaven has given you a dominion and power and might and glory. So I believe that each one of those, like, you know, we can look at the symbolism of, um, the king. He stood large, and it was a large statue, enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. You know, so he, he knows that it's Nebuchadnezzar. You know, God showed him that. So you can use dream interpretation. You can take, take it back to scripture and look at some of the symbolisms of what, what scriptures say about different things. And that's what some of this, this here is. But I don't know the person. You know, and you still want to take everything back to God. Um, in that, it also talks about how to interpret. And it, and it gives you examples of dreams and how to interpret them. So, but I, I just really love getting back into the word. So he says down here, he was given dominion and power and might and glory. In your hands, he has placed mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over all of them. That you, you are the head of gold. After you, another kingdom will rise, inferior to yours. Next, the third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. And finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron. With iron breaks and smashes everything. And as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom. Yet it will have some of the strength of the iron in it. Even as you saw iron mixed with clay, as the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be mixed and will not remain united anymore than the iron mixes with clay. I mean, that, that's pretty wild. You know, if you think about it, look at some of the other religions. You know, look at the, the statues of Baal. You know, look at the statues of, um, what's the Hindu statue? Huh? Buddha. Yeah. Buddha. Yeah. Buddha. Yeah. You know, and a lot of them are clay. You know, I don't know what they are over, you know, in India, you know, but, you know, it's a mixture. I thought that was so cool because it's not the same group of people. There won't be any united. You know, if you have a mixture of even metals, you know, um, this was crazy. In my car, I had a sheared pin. It was a bolt that sheared off, um, around the air compressor, um, the air conditioner, and the, um, radiator. And it was because they put two different kinds of metal together. And it, and it gave way when it was too much pressure. Like it sheared off because the two different metals didn't hold together. Like, so taking, like when you get a dream, you know, look at some of the, the dream interpretations in the Bible, Bible. And just see if there's any similarities. You know, taking it back to God and watching God show you, you know, and, and so in the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. This is the meaning of your vision of the rock cut out of the mountain, but not by human hands. The rock that broke the iron and the bronze and the clay and the silver and the gold to pieces. The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future. The dream is true and the interpretation is trustworthy. Wow. I think God just showed me something, but I can't talk about it right now. It's crazy. I think I needed to read the other one, but I clearly heard God tell me to read this. But like, if you think about this, God is going to crush all these other religions. Wow. How many of us read this time and time and we didn't see them? I just feel like God just like, expedites all over this. Wow. You know, his kingdom will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. Like, wow. I, I just feel like I need to meditate on that. I, I feel like it goes together with some other scriptures that God's been giving me lately. Wow. I think I'm speechless. But in that, the king gave favor to Daniel and put him in charge of all of Babylon. Like literally put him in charge of all of Babylon. But I love what Daniel did. Then the king placed Daniel in a high position and lavished many gifts on him. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and placed him in charge of all of its wise men. Moreover, at Daniel's request, so Daniel requested that the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego administrators over the province of Babylon, while Daniel himself remained at the Royal Court. So he put in place his friends. Like he didn't do it for himself. There's like no self-edification in this stuff. Like it, there's, as we go, it's not about what Trina wants. It's about what God has for my life. And how can I help him see other people come into the kingdom of God? That's what we want to do. You know, it's, I get there's people beside us that are going to hinder us from really hearing or having the faith to step out. But the more we hear God, and the more confidence we let rise up inside of us, and that's only going to happen if we, we have encounters with God. Because we see the visions, we saw the visions in in Acts, how it gave people power, gave them confidence and boldness to go and say, hey, Saul, like a man that could kill him, a man that could arrest him, he's like, Saul, God is going to open your eyes. And as soon as he lays hands, these, um, what are they? The, the, the things fall off his eyes. Scales. Scales. The scales fall off his eyes. As soon as he lays his hands on, scales fall off. Like he had a boldness, encounters, visions, dreams. Like we want them because, because we see God. And in the power of God, we see amazing things. The next one, you talked about Gideon, and that's in Judges 6, I think. Let's go there. We got a little bit of time, not much. Where's Judges? I have a problem trying to read my Bible sometimes because it's in Portuguese and English. So I'm looking into, uh, army, Joshua, Judges. Judges 6. And so the Midianites have this dream. And I think it's [Music] down. Let's see here. Get down. 22. Uh, 7:22. So actually, we're going to, um, no, wait a minute. Is that for down 13? Gideon arrived just as a man was telling a friend his dream. I had a dream, he was saying. A round loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent with such a force that the tent overturned and collapsed. So, and I'm pretty sure God sent him down there. Yeah. And so he gets there just as he's hearing this guy share his dream. This is crazy. So then he hears what the guy says. His friend responded, this cannot be nothing, nothing other than the sword of Gideon, son of Joash, the Israelite. God has given the Midianites and the whole camp into his hands. Would that build your confidence? Have you heard that? You know, you just happen to be in the right place at the right time because you're obedient to God. You know, Jenna, you were in the right place, the right time, maybe to help save that woman's life. You just never know. You know, and so, and we know the story. You know, God only used 300 men. It says Gideon and 100, oh, 100 men with him. Reached the edge of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch. Just after they had charged the guard. They blew their trumpets and broke their jars. And were in their left hand, in their hands. The three companies blew the trumpets and smashed the jars, grasping the torches in their left hands and holding in their right hands the trumpets they were to blow. They shouted, "A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!" While each man held his position around the camp, all the Midianites ran crying out as they fled. Then the 300 trumpets sounded, and the Lord caused the men throughout the camp to run on each other without their swords. The army fled to whatever. But Gideon had the confidence. So can you imagine you're going to war and you have, let's see, trumpets and jars in your hands? You know, God saying he wants you to blow the trumpet and break the glass jars. You know, and I think there was lights. Was there lights in the jars? Oh, they had torches. What was it? Sorry. They had torches in their left hand, holding in their right hands the trumpets they were to blow. Can you imagine going to war like that? I'm like, God, you can like get us killed. Like, um, can we have like a sword? Maybe one? God's like, I don't need them. And then you go and you hear this dream. And the fear that enters into the Midianite camp. And you're surrounding this place. You have 300 men who are fearless, who are truly devout to God. Like that, that's the army that God is raising up right now. Is people that are devout to God, who are sold out to God. And that's the goal. Like when we stand before God someday, no one is going to be there with us. Like, yes, I, I believe that there's accountability needed in in our, in us. You know, iron sharpening iron. You know, you take everything back to God. God, what are you saying? This is what my pastor said. This is what my best friend said. This is what my parents said. God, what are you saying? My husband is not on the same page. God, you need to bring him on the same page. You know, you need to show him. You know, and, you know, sometimes God may, sometimes God may not. You know, we all have free will. And God will not make someone do something that they don't want to do. And you got to, you got to figure out a way how to honor that person, but not be disobedient. And I don't know what that looks like. All of us have have obstacles supposed to walk in. I walk across. We all have differences in our lives. It's all, um, none of it is easy. It is simple, but it's not easy. It never was created to be easy. You know, all through this Bible, God had little, um, me and used in this Bible. A lot of them were teenagers. They followed after God. God. And they didn't have any courage. They didn't have any confidence. You know, if you think about it, Esther, she had no confidence. She kind of like was like, when Mordecai told her that she needed to go stand up to her husband, the king, he's, she's like, ah, no. And he's like, it's not going to be well with you and your family if you don't do that. And God will raise up someone else to do what you need to do. You know, it's going to be a bad day. You know, I don't know what God is calling any of us to do. The more you spend time with him, the more he'll reveal his plans to you. The more you hear him, and you set your ears and your eye gates and your heart gates open to hearing what he has to say. I believe you're not going to miss it. You know, I was disobedient when I went to Costa Rica, but I can tell you there were many times that God saved my life, life, and saved our lives when I put myself and other people's lives in danger. Will he save my life if I did it again? I don't know. You know, I don't know. We, none of us know the times or season or what we're walking in. But as we end tonight, I really want to pray. You want to, you want to say anything? Or either of you guys? You're good. Okay. So anybody have any questions before we we pray it out? What's it say? I think hear that. Oh, yeah. I think we did. I care that. So does anybody have any any questions about anything that we talked about? We have like, uh, not quite 10 minutes, but five, five. Anybody? Everybody good? So I'm going to put some more videos out. Um, I, I sent you, um, some emails. So if you didn't get my emails, check your spam folder, jump folder, wherever it might go. Let me know if you didn't get the emails. Um, I sent you an email, I think with Craig's videos in it. Um, I have the last one finished. I will send it out tonight. Um, I think I sent out an email with Bear Creek stuff. And also, um, it has two videos about deliverance and one about, um, unforgiveness. And that's really, really good. I will send you out, um, a link about the, the acronym I see him, which is identify the lie, confess the lie, hand the lie over, um, invite the Holy Spirit in and ask.

God to give you truth and make a declaration about that. Um, the more we go after wholeness, that is key. I can send you information about Craig Miller. He's open to anyone who needs help. You can, you just have to follow his criteria. Um, he does it on donations, so it's no, you know, if you can't afford it, you know, awesome. You know, if you can afford to give a little more, you give whatever you feel like God is saying.

He, he, he came here to, um, to help us and he paid for his own hotel room and he paid for, um, his own airline ticket. You know, we helped him out with food and travel while he was here, you know, and we didn't get a lot of donations to help, you know, and we had to pay about $180 to $190 to rent the facility that we had. So God showed up. But, you know, a lot of times it's, will you go? You know, God is showing us that it isn't about paying. You know, we're, we're doing this free and and it's, it's not just out of the goodness of our heart, it's being obedient to God. And, you know, when one of the things when he says, we in this, did I charge? Okay. And and I, I did. I've learned that the hard way over the years. And we were going to charge $200 a person.

And, and know that Sharon is just pray for us, you know, as we walk out these next six weeks. We want to end well. Um, I'm, if you, anybody has any testimonies that you can do like a one or two minute video of, send them to us of what God is doing through the school, you know, we're getting ready to see what God wants to do in this next season. We're really excited. Um, you know, we, we're going to put out some more videos from Bethel out on the website. Listen to what you can, if you have an understanding of something you want to learn that we haven't addressed yet, please let us know because we really want to help you understand how to grow.

Um, we, we're going to be talking here in the next week or two on, um, teaching and we're going to give you opportunities to share and to teach, um, kind of preach, kind of thing. The next couple homework assignments will be where you put things in your words. So we're practicing already. So, um, we want you to share testimonies. If you can get them out, we'll put them out on on Facebook, like we want people to see what God is doing because we're, we don't know where we're going with this. We're, we're, it's a pilot program, but the more people share what God's doing in their heart here, it will help the next group of people. You know, um, there's been quite a few people that have stepped aside and not done the class because of whatever the reason is, you know, and I really feel like if you haven't watched this one M video, um, what was it again? The dealing with opposition. Yeah, the one that's dealing with opposition, it is really, really key because I feel like this, this class is so pivotal to your future.

And the biggest thing is, is we want to help you know the importance of going deeper, deeper, deeper into God and learning how to step into the fullness of Christ. And we can do that here on Earth. We haven't even seen a glimpse of it, you know, and there's some stuff about there teachings that about from Bear Creek that we're literally going walking into 10% of our brain. And as we allow God to heal us, more of that opens up, more of that opens up. We can see the fullness of God start to rise up inside of us. And as we walk in obedience, as we allow him to heal us, as we allow, um, the buttons to be removed so that people can't poke us like they used to poke us, that's some of the goals that we want to help you. We want to help you walk in a lifestyle where you're listening everywhere you go, you're listening to where the father is highlighting people and you're allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you. That unction, that thought, that, that, that just moment, and and you just follow it. And it's like, hey, wait a minute. I'll be back. You know, and it's like, people can wait. People can wait. You know what? I don't think people are going to die if you just say, hey, can you wait a minute? I need to go over here. That person might die if you don't go share what you have. Like I believe that if somebody would have shared with me, I wouldn't have been on that embankment committing suicide. I really do.

I feel like that's part of my heart is to help people understand the importance of how we need to listen to what God is saying, bring back the fullness of the gifts, bring it back into our lives so that other people can see us walking out and we can be like Philip and we draw crowds, not because of the signs and wonders to make us big, is because Christ needs to be seen in our lives so that others come follow Christ. That's the goal. Of people say, oh, it's not about the signs and wonders. I'm like, oh yes, it is. It is all about the signs and wonders. And you know what? Those people have no clue what they're saying. And you can't argue with them. But the biggest thing is, is say, you know what? If there was no signs or wonders, there'd be no one led to Christ because we were all led to Christ through some sign or wonder. So I'm going to end it on that.

So Father God, I thank you. I ask that tonight that you would just pour out amazing dreams. Show us destiny. Show us, um, directions. Show us how to walk out the things that are in our lives. Show us how to lay down offenses and get rid of unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness, and anger. God, show us how to stop allowing people to poke us. Allow us to FedEx the problem back to the person and embrace with such a love instead of anger. God, allow us to see people's lives changed because we change our prayers. Father God, I ask that you would bring down the fire of heaven and touch us and burn away all the dross in us. God, allow us to feel your presence in a great and mighty way. Allow us to see the strongholds tore down in our lives. Allow us to see you rise up in us, a boldness, a confidence, and the courage that we've never experienced before. Father God, bring us to the full measure of your joy, the full measure of your fullness. God, let us experience your goodness here on Earth so that others can see what you really are about. Father, I thank you that you created us for such a time as this, that we're Esther, we're Daniels, we're where Shadrach, Meshach, and the boys. We will stand, stand in the fire, and we will know that Jesus is there with us. And like they said, Nebuchadnezzar, it doesn't matter if our God doesn't show up, but we believe he will. And if he doesn't show up, we're still not going to bow our knees to you. And he went into that fire when other people, when they went even close to it, got burned up, they didn't get burned up when they got thrown in. And when they're standing in there, they, they see Jesus with them. We're in the fire pit of on Earth, Jesus is in the fire with us. And we can be not even smelling like smoke. Flames could be all around us, trouble could be all around us, but we can stand in peace and love and harmony. We can stand in a balance of heaven and earth here right now.

So Father God, I ask that you would just rain down your spirit. Allow us to be so embraced by you that we can't see but smell you. We can't hear but know you. Allow us to see your signs, wonders, and miracles as we step out. Father God, please. I thank you for showing up and showing off so that you build the confidence and the courage and the boldness inside of each and every one of us. God, show us how to walk out B, um, obedience. Show us how to walk out love. Show us how to be that little child on your foot and you carry us everywhere you go. We don't want to go. We don't want you to go anywhere without taking us. Father God, let us be so in love with your Jesus. Let him be one with us as he's one with you. And there's a unity that will not be breakable. Allow the Holy Spirit to come alive in us to destroy the path of the enemy in our lives and in the lives of those around us. In Jesus name, amen. Love you all. Good night. Good night. Good night. God impart dreams and vision and tattoo interpretation in Jesus name. Amen. W love you guys. Good night. Y. What happened to this one? Die. I switch the. I don't understand it. I don't understand. Minutes. You can, um.
