And, oh man, we're gonna leaninto that this morning.
I have three scriptures that Iwant to share, but before I get

reminders as well, and I'm goingto obviously share my screen,
because that's how I do.

Okay, I'm trying to just havelike one post for the month, tie
it to a theme.
We also have a theme for ourAugust teachings always have.
(06:59):
So you'll see that on Thursdaysat seven and Saturdays are just
kind of whatever the Lord showsme.
That's what we talk about, okay, so for the rest of the month
of August, we're going to focuson this being the month of
blessings, new things, newmindset, new vision, all of the
things.
Um, like I said, I did have afew announcements that I wanted
to share.
So for first off, lord, we'rejust so grateful that you've
(07:21):
allowed us to see this month ofAugust.
Thank you for waking us up inour right minds, in our willing
and ready to hear from you.
I thank you, lord, that you arethe creator of all.
You've given us breath thismorning.
We thank you for waking us up.
That means our assignment isnot complete.
We have another day to witnessand praise and worship and
glorify you, and we thank youfor that.
(07:43):
Wherever you send us out today,lord, whether you're sending us
out into a job or you'resending us into our own
household, whatever that lookslike for each and every one of
us, we know that we'll see yourglory today and we thank you for
this month of August.
We thank you for what you'regoing to show us, lord.
We're preparing our hearts andminds right now and I even ask,
lord God, as we move intoworship and prayer because
(08:05):
that's what this is that we askfor your forgiveness, anything
that we've thought or said ordone, even over the course of
the night, in our dreams.
Lord God, we ask that you'llforgive us, lord God, we confess
all and everything that we havesaid and done that has been
counter to what you've taught us.
Forgive us, lord God, foranything we've done to harm each
other, any harsh words withfamily members, children,
(08:28):

We ask that you'll forgive us,lord, god and Lord, we ask that
you'll just help us to stayfocused on you, especially this

We thank you, lord, god, forwhat's coming this week.
I'm looking for everything new,all blessings, every single day
, and we're receiving thatYou're the God of all.
(08:51):
So we worship you, we thank youand we bless your holy name.
Amen.
You got to start off right,okay?
So before I go into the threescriptures, I just want to share
again three quick announcements, reminders and things that
we're going to be praying for.
The first one is just areminder, maybe a shout out,
also tied to prayer requests,that we do have the Facebook
(09:17):
chat, the prayer group, so youknow, remember, you can drop
your prayer requests in there oryou can call the phone line,
Okay.
But I just want to do a quickshout out to all the kids
especially.
You know I have a heart forkids going back to school,
especially in South Forsyth andFulton County, georgia, today.
So they're all going back toschool this morning.
So, though, their kids areprobably trying to wake up right
(09:41):
now, and maybe parents as wellteachers, staff members and
everybody's trying to geteverything going.
But a quick shout out to all ofyou I'm so excited about this
new school year and I pray thatthis is going to be one that's
going to be truly a blessing nobullying, great grades, and kids
are going to actually have fun.
(10:01):
I pray for the hearts of theteachers and staff that are
there to help and serve our kids, and also the parents y'all.
We got to make it easy forpeople to do their job, so don't
be a bully parent, okay.
So, taking care of the kids,having them in focus.
A shout out to all the kids inour neighborhood that's going
out today and for those, we hadsome kids who started last week.
(10:21):
So you know, happy school yearand all of that.
The second thing is that themonth of August, this is our
month when we pray for those jobseekers.
So again, remember, we'veshifted August to the phone
prayer line.
Three Prayer Sisters is everyThursday at 7 pm Eastern
Standard Time.
So come be blessed.
(10:41):
If you're not a job seeker,come help us pray for job
seekers, okay, like.
Come on y'all.
And also, if you're busy atthat time and you can't, you
know you're not a job seekercome help us pray for job
seekers.
Okay, like, come on y'all, andalso, if you're busy at that
time and you can't you knowyou're not available just
dropping it in your heart topray along with us Wherever you
are, just standing in agreementand praying for job seekers for
the month of August.
And the last thing is anotherreminder that Testimony Tuesday
(11:04):
is tomorrow night at 8 pmEastern Standard Time.
We typically share the video.
We share it from the YouTubechannel.
This is Makisha's channel, theDumping Run.
It's probably better if youjust subscribe to her channel.
That way you'll get thenotifications, like I do.
But I hope you'll come out andlisten to another.
She has another amazingtestimony tomorrow night, so I
(11:27):
hope that y'all will join usthere.
Remember, we don't do Tuesdaynight prayer anymore.
We've shifted to testimonyTuesday.
So y'all come out and supportand be uplifted.
So now I'm gonna get into thescriptures that we have for
today.
I'm calling it new mindset.
That's what we're gonna focuson, and it's really about
reframing the way we think, notjust for the season, but for
(11:50):
some of us, like for me, it'sfor the day ahead.
Okay, so it could be for thethinking the season ahead, the
month ahead, the day ahead, thehours ahead, the minutes ahead,
whatever it is, but renewing ourthinking.
And as I was getting ready, Iwas downstairs, you know,
getting my espresso together,and I was in the kitchen just
(12:11):
having this conversation in myhead, because this is the time
of year, y'all, that a lot ofconferences happen or would have
just happened.
There was a huge one here inGeorgia and you know I'm not how
do I put this I'm not a hugefan of mega conferences.
(12:31):
I'll just keep it short.
But I think, for me, I'm moreof an action person and I'm more
interested in what you do afteryou've left that conference.
Right, there's a lot of reallygood conferences, there's a lot
of really good conferences.
There's a lot of really greatinformation.
(12:51):
But we get excited and then weleave and then we do what Like?
What are y'all doing with it?
If you don't reframe or retrainor renew your thinking, then
you would have just wastedthousands of dollars to go and
listen to some great speakersand some singers and get hyped
up, and you come back and dayslater you're on empty.
(13:13):
So the intention is whatever.
Wherever you got your fill,even if you went to, you know,
maybe, maybe you didn't go to aconference, you went to church
and it was a great message.
On Sunday Maybe you had a greatvacation and you know, you, you
, you, you heard from the lord.
Whatever it is right.
If you don't do something withthe information, then the same
zero percent you had beforethese encounters, you're going
(13:36):
to end up there again.
And what we are trying to dothis year remember the word for
the year is discipline is havesome kind of discipline with the
way we do things, whether it'sin our finance, in our our
health, on the job, likewhatever it is, in our
relationships, in our worship.
Have some level of disciplinein what you do.
And discipline is painful.
(13:56):
Okay, there are some thingsthat you know, as I'm talking
about renewing our thinking.
This requires discipline.
Okay, it's not just going tohear someone and you catch a
clip and you share it on TikTokand you're excited for a moment.
It takes work and we know ittakes work because we see it in
the word.
Right, we know that with thehelp of the Holy Spirit, it's
(14:17):
not just us doing it byourselves that we can do these
things.
So this week we're going tofocus on a new mindset.
We're looking at these threeverses.
First one is Romans 12.2.
Do not be conformed, but betransformed right.
Conformed basically just meanslike you look and sound like the
(14:38):
world, and the more I hear someof these churches and their
amazing singers and bands, themore they sound like the world,
the more even church musicsounds like you know, the stuff
you'd hear on the radio Like wehave actually conformed more to
this world because people wantthat same level of entertainment
, not education, when they go tochurch.
(15:00):
Right, we're supposed to betaught and led when we go to
church and a lot of us havefallen into the trap of just
being entertained by greatspeakers.
Well, you're not going to beable to transform your mind if
you're sitting under and I don'tand listen.
I don't care where you go tochurch.
It could be a mega church, itcould be a little church.
Whatever it is.
If you, if you become conformed, if you become, you know,
(15:24):
there's so many believers like I.
Look at them and I can't seethe difference between them and
someone who follows Christ Likefor real, not just not even
people who say I'm a Christianbecause I don't even buy that
anymore.
Just to be honest, I'm watchinghow you walk, right.
So we're not supposed to beconformed and be identical and
look like the world.
(15:45):
We're supposed to betransformed, but it starts in
our mind.
It starts with the renewal ofour mind.
And why is that important?
So that we can test and discernwhat God's will is in all of
the situations in our liveswhat's good, what's acceptable
and what's perfect in his sight.
Not even what's in our sightright, because we might see
(16:05):
something and think it's goodaccording to what we think,
acceptable according to what wethink and perfect according to
what we think, but it's notnecessarily His will.
The will of God so that's thefirst one is not being conformed
, being transformed by therenewal of our mind.
Why?
So we can test y'all, so we cancheck into things we can check
(16:25):
into, we can discern what God'swill is in every situation.
Now the second verse isPhilippians 4.8.
And this actually tells yousome of the things that we
should be thinking about.
Right, this is what.
So now I'm saying you know,okay, we've got to renew our
minds so that we can test, etcetera.
So how?
So what are some of the thingswe should focus on?
So finally, brothers, whateveris true, whatever is honorable,
(16:48):
whatever is just, whatever ispure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is commendable, ifthere's any excellence, if
there's anything worthy ofpraise.
It says think about thesethings, right, think about these
things in your lives.
So what's true?
There's something I tell mymentees all the time.
What's true?
There's something I tell mymentees all the time I only
believe what's true about me.
(17:08):
I only believe what's trueabout me.
So no one can come and tell mesomething that's counter to what
God told me about me.
I believe what he says about me.
I'm the head and not the tail,so you can never come to me and
tell me anything different.
Okay, what's true?
Because I've tied it back tohis word.
(17:32):
What's honorable, what's just,what's?
You know what's pure, what'slovely?
Doesn't say anything aboutgossip and hate.
Is that?
It doesn't say anything abouttossing people under the bus.
It doesn't tell you anythingabout worshiping your pastor,
okay, like he's God.
Or your first lady, like she'sGod, but it doesn't say any of
anything about that, right?
So, so true, honorable, justand pure.
What's honorable about yourmarriage or your friendships?
(17:52):
What's just?
You know, you can see thingshappening around you.
What's just, or tied to justice, what's pure?
Y'all, what's lovely andbeautiful, the lives that we
have, we are so grateful.
Remember that the life you have, there is someone else who's
looking at your life, wishingthey have it.
So what's lovely?
Our children, our friends, youknow all those things.
(18:14):
What's commendable If there'sany excellence.
I'm just in a season right nowwhere I'm seeking out what
excellence looks like for mylife.
What does that look like?
And then I'm working towardsthat.
What's excellence look like?
And if there's anything worthyof praise, we're going to think
about these things Worthy ofpraising back to God.
(18:35):
The last scripture is that wedestroy arguments.
This is 2 Corinthians 10 5.
We destroy arguments and everylofty opinion raised against the
knowledge of God and take everythought captive to obey Christ.
There's a lot of arguments andlofty opinions that are actually
coming out of pastors right nowthat when you hear someone and
(18:57):
they sound great, they sound sogood and people will pick a
scripture and then they'll tiesomething that they picked up,
maybe in the Torah, and they tieit together and it sounds like
this is what it is and it'stotally against the knowledge of
God.
They don't have the knowledgeof God.
People are just spewing stuff.
Okay, because it gets ourattention right, so it gets into
(19:20):
our mindset, we start tobelieve we know more than what
the Lord says.
We have lofty opinions aboutwhat God says and what God's
going to do and all the thingswe start to create.
You know, we start to even saythese things out loud and we
start telling people.
We start we call it falseprophesying to people what God's
(19:40):
going to do in their lives.
And it's one thing to saysomething because you want to
support someone else's ideas orthoughts or whatever, but we've
got to be careful that we don'thave lofty opinions raised
against the knowledge of Godbecause we don't know what he's
going to.
We don't know what God's goingto do.
We have to again checkourselves.
(20:02):
So this is holding ourselvesand our minds accountable
because it starts in ourthoughts.
So this is holding ourselvesand our minds accountable
because it starts in ourthoughts.
We start thinking about the waysthat we can, you know, correct
or teach, but we're actuallycreating these arguments that
are against the knowledge of God.
So we're going to be asking theLord.
Lord, first of all, I don'teven want any thought, anything
(20:23):
that's against the knowledge ofyou.
I don't want to speak againstyou.
I don't even want to thinkagainst you.
And if there's any loftyopinion that we have Lord,
that's against you and who youare and how you're going to work
in this season.
We're asking that to be takencaptive, because what we don't
want to do is we don't want tospeak against.
I don't want to pray againstanything that's happening in
(20:46):
your life that God has meant foryou that season.
Okay, there are some thingsthat I'm not going to do this
month, and my mindset is I amnot going to pray people out of
a situation that they're in ifthat's not what the Lord is
telling me.
The Lord is asking us not askingus directing us to allow him.
(21:07):
Right, let him, let God be God,let God work.
You know, we've done such anincredible job of being the
folks who stand up for those inour families.
Right, we intercede and we prayfor folks, but there are times
when people have to learn thelesson and we're busy trying to
(21:28):
pray them out of the lesson andthe Lord's like yo, let me be
God.
They have to go through thispain, they have to go through
this disappointment, they haveto go through this period.
So what we pray for then is weask God to give them strength
while they're going through thisseason, and that also means
that we have to transform theway we think about what the will
of God is and we start to askGod whatever is good and
(21:51):
acceptable and perfect.
That's what we're asking for inthis person's life.
So we have to shift the way wethink, not just in our own
mindset and our thoughts when itcomes to our lives, but we also
have to change the way that weapproach the throne and when it
comes to knowledge of God andhow we apply that when he sends
us out to do an assignment.
Amen, I know that's a wholemouthful.
(22:11):
I hope that makes sense toy'all.
But now we're going to shiftinto prayer and again, like I
said, the theme is mindset, newmindset.
I'm giving you three scripturesand I'm encouraging you to pray
alongside me.
So, father, we thank you againfor this morning and this new
month of August.
I thank you for all of thethings that you've already shown
(22:31):
us in your word when it comesto renewing our mind and, just
as your scripture has taught us,we have no business trying to
be gods.
We are not you, and we glorifyyou, we honor you and we thank
you, holy Spirit, for correctingus and reminding us that there
is only one God, and that is notus.
So we ask, lord God, that youtake the rightful place in our
lives as our Savior and our Lord, and we submit ourselves, our
(22:55):
thoughts, our words and ourdeeds to you, this morning and
even for the rest of this monthand the rest of this season,
father, as we're asking that ourmindsets are renewed, we start,
lord God, by asking you, father, to forgive us, those of us
who've allowed ourselves to beconformed to the world, that you
can't tell any differencebetween a believer in Christ or
a believer or one who lives inthe world.
(23:17):
We are in the world, but we'renot supposed to be of it, and
yet we look so much like theworld that is confusing to those
who don't believe in Christ.
So I'm asking, lord, that youwill show every person, under
the sound of my voice, show themthe areas in their lives where
they have become conformed.
Lord God, all of us, so that wecan correct it.
We don't want to be, lord God,like those around us who don't
(23:40):
believe in you, who think likethat.
We don't want to think like theworld.
We want to think like you, lordJesus.
So we ask that you point thosethings out, every dark place in
our hearts, our thoughts, in ourminds, even in our dreams, lord
God, in our own desires.
If anything we've done we'veconformed in any way to this
(24:03):
world, show us, lord God, sothat we can course correct.
Today we want to be transformedinto you, jesus.
We wanna be more like you, tothink more like you, to treat
people around us like you wouldhave us treat, to follow your
example.
So, lord, renew our minds, lordGod, so that we can test and
discern your will in everysituation for what is good and
(24:25):
what is acceptable in your sight, not even in our sight, because
we don't understand the thingsthat are happening around us.
We can't put two and twotogether.
Father, we know that we havevictory in you.
We thank you that we havevictory in Christ.
There is no weapon formedagainst us that will ever
prosper because we have beencalled and marked by you.
Therefore, today, we declarevictory in everything that we
(24:48):
put our hands to.
We know that this is going to bea productive and a highly
blessed season.
We thank you, lord God, thatyou're going to fill our barns,
lord God, lord God, restore ourhomes, anything that was taken
or stolen, that you willreconcile it back, lord God, you
will restore it.
So we don't have to worry aboutwhether or not you will provide
, because you will provide,because we are your children.
(25:10):
So, lord God, we're standing inagreement and believing that
everything good and acceptableand pure, all of those things
will happen to us this month, nomatter what the enemy has
charted out, any incantations orlies or anything that the enemy
has set up as trap in our homes, in our cars, in our minds.
Lord God, lord God, even on thejob, any trap that the enemy
(25:32):
has set, even with technology,lord God, that you will, of
course, correct it right now.
And we come before your holyaltar and we thank you for your
grace and your mercy in thissituation and in this request
that we have before you.
Lord, you've given us, you'vegiven us examples of what we
could think about anythingthat's true and honorable and
just and pure and lovely,commendable, and anything where
(25:55):
there's excellence and anythingworthy of praise.
So, father, I just ask that,day after day, as you send your
holy ones to minister unto us,that they will also remind us,
point out the situations andremind us what is true and what
is honorable, what is just andwhat is pure, what is lovely,
commendable and excellent, sothat we can align back to those
(26:16):
things and praise you, anythingthat is worthy of praise, father
.
Would you bring it up?
Bring it back up to the frontof our minds so that we can
focus on these things, not on Idon things.
Lord, I don't even want to hearabout how enemies attacking
anybody this month.
I only want to hear about howyou're blessing us this month,
lord.
That's where I'm at, lord.
(26:37):
I don't care what plans theenemy has.
We are walking victorious inChrist.
I don't care any of that.
That is not the mindset thismonth.
We have a winning mindset,knowing that all things are
working together for our good.
So I don't care any of that.
That is not the mindset thismonth.
We have a winning mindset,knowing that all things are
working together for our good.
So I don't even want to hearthat.
Lord.
God, if there's any electricalissues going on in our houses,
even right now, I know that allthings are working together for
(26:58):
our good.
Anything that's happening withanyone's cars under the sound of
my voice, we know that allthings are working together for
our good.
Anything that's been anyschemes or confusion or chaos
that's happening on the job.
We know that all things areworking together for our good.
Anyone who's going through anyhealth issues, we know that all
things are working together forour good.
Even those who are sufferinggreat, great loss, lord God, in
(27:22):
their family, even death, lordGod, we know that all things are
working together for our good.
Any situation that comesagainst our children while
they're at school, we know thatall things are working together
for our good.
There is nothing that the enemycan do to us because we have
been marked and set apart by you.
We thank you, god, that you'resmiling on us and so we're going
to align ourselves with thatmindset that we are walking
(27:44):
victoriously in Christ and thatall things are working together
for our good.
We thank you, lord God, thatyou will show us, lord God, this
month, so that we can bereminded, even even when we have
days when you know tough daysthat will come, that will come
across, lord God, disappointingdays, exhausting days that
you'll remind us, lord God, thatall things are still working
(28:06):
together for our good.
We thank you, lord, that youwill remind us, lord God, that
all things are still workingtogether for our good.
We thank you, lord, that youwill destroy any argument,
anything that comes out of ourmouth that comes out as a lofty
opinion that we have beenmistakenly calling it prophecy
because we do not have theknowledge of God.
Lord, we're asking that youwill even shut our mouth.
We don't want to say anythingthat's counter to your will in
(28:26):
anyone's life.
Lord, god, those who are seekingout these great titles, lord, I
just want to be your daughter.
I just want to be Shelly.
I don't want to be nothing butthat I am the lowest of low.
I thank you, lord, that youhave used this broken and very
chipped vessel and I will doeven the bare minimum, the
(28:48):
things that other people don'twant to do.
I will do that.
I will be a laborer for you.
Lord, god, that's all I want isto glorify you and honor you.
I don't need a title, I justneed your presence.
And, father God, I ask that youwill cast down any lofty opinion
that will come out of thisministry, anything that will
cause any kind of confusion.
(29:11):
Lord God, that you will shut itdown, because that is not our
purpose.
Our purpose is to worship andglorify you and draw men back to
you.
So we hand over again thismonth, lord God, our phone line.
We hand over testimony Tuesday.
We hand over everything,anything connected to this
ministry in any way, so that youget all the glory and all the
(29:31):
honor and all the praise.
We thank you, god.
As we honor your name, we knowthat you will bless us, your
children, bless us in overflowfor those who are oh, we're all
standing in need of that, lordGod.
Bless us, give us high favor,lord God, in our jobs, in our
projects, in our communication,in our encounters.
Give us your supernatural favor, lord God, go before us and go
(29:52):
with us.
Holy Spirit, in every encounterthat we have.
I pray, lord, that this monthof August, as you give us new
blessings and new ideas and newcreative thoughts, lord God, you
give us even new energy, sothat you know, for those who are
worn out, father, I ask thatyou'll, even for those who need
all of us who need to work onour health better, lord God,
that this month we won't justwaste another 30, 31 days.
(30:16):
Lord God, 30 days.
I ask that you'll use thisthese next few weeks, lord God,
that you'll even show us how tomake improvements in our health
and what we put in our body,what we eat, what we speak,
where we go, father, and limitany distractions that we've
created.
(30:36):
Lord, God and Father, we thankyou and we bless you.
We're receiving.
We thank you that our heartsare ready.
Lord God, we want to hear fromyou that this is a month of
downloads for me.
We thank you for that.
Well, we are open to that andas we hand over everything, any
thought, anything that wasthrowing us off course, anything
that was distracting us,anything that was coming up as a
(30:56):
thought, as a negative thought,we're capturing that that is
not our thoughts, that is notfrom you, and we're even handing
over our minds, lord God, so wecan hear, we want to think like
you this month, lord Jesus,we're asking you to help us to
do that in every area of ourlife, and we thank you in all
these things that we ask in yourson's name.
(31:17):
And so, lord God, when we offerup our declaration, we do this
in alignment with what you havesaid and, week after week, and
month after month and year afteryear, we have been releasing
these words according to whatyour instructions are.
When we say these words, it'sbecause we're in agreement with
what heaven says about us, whatis true about us.
So, lord God, as it is trueabout us, because it is your
(31:40):
will and written in your word,when we release these words,
they're not just words.
These are our agreement, it'swhat we come in agreement with

This is what is true about usand therefore we stand in
alignment with this.
This is what is true.
Thank you, lord, that you say.

Lord God, no weapon formedagainst us can prosper, because
we are the righteousness of God.
Favor surrounds us as a shieldand your divine protection

right time.
We can't be defeated ordestroyed, and every tongue that
accuses us and every tonguethat attacks us, we can condemn
with our own words, because ofthe power of the Holy Spirit.
(32:23):
This is our heritage, this isour right as a child of God.
We're made in your image,father.
We're made with your dominionand authority, living in us and
coming forth out of our ownspirits through our words.
Thank you, father, that todayand no day, there is no day ever
when Satan will have power overour life, because every weapon
(32:44):
he has has been defeated by theblood of Jesus Christ and fear
is cast out.
Your love is what makes ourfaith work, and we can't fail.
Your word can't fail and that'swhat we're made of.
We're made of your word, we'remade in your image, we're made
after your likeness, with thepower of the holy spirit and
authority living in our words,kebras, therefore, by the power,
(33:09):
by the blood of jesus.
We know we dwell in the secretplace of the most high.
We know we abide under theshadow of the almighty god.
We know that we can say, we canstand in agreement and declare
this day you are our refuge, youare our fortress, and we know,
god, that it's in you that wetrust.
We thank you, god, for blessingus.
(33:31):
We thank you for what your wordsays about us and we believe
what you say.
So, father, god, even as we gothrough the rest of this week,
we ask that you renew ourmindset to believe and remember,
remember, remember what yourword says, that we have your
supernatural favor and we haveyour divine protection and
(33:51):
there's no weapon formed againstus that can prosper, because
these are the things that aretrue about us.
We thank you, god, forreminding us this week of our
identity, that it lives in you,that, in the same way that you
are in us, holy Spirit, we arein you, holy Father.
So, father, I thank you thatthis week, that, no matter what
(34:11):
the enemy had set forth againstany person under the sound of my
voice, any plan or anyincantation, or any witchcraft,
or any lies or any ugly thoughtsor any distraction, it is set
on fire now.
Any plans, anything that waswritten down with their names on
it by blood or by water or byfire, it is destroyed.
In the name of Jesus Christ,they are set back on course.
(34:34):
Or, god, father, I thank youfor blessing us in the name of
your son, jesus.
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.
Name of your son Jesus, amen,amen, amen, amen, Amen, amen.
So now, y'all, if you want toreconfirm your relationship with
Jesus, you just say amen at theend of this prayer.
Or for those of you who, again,if you're watching the replay
and you've heard me for sometime now and you want to be born
(34:56):
again, obviously you know thenext thing I always say you got
to find a Bible-based church.
I'm very specific when I say aBible-based church.
I'm not telling you to go findthe biggest one you can find.
I'm not telling you any of that.
I'm saying find a church thatcan teach you that you can join
(35:18):
into a prayer, a praying family,where you can go and serve and
be a part of community.
Okay, but even when you go tochurch on Sunday, remember you
got to leave that church andcome into the parking lot in the
car.
So go to a church that teachesyou who to be when you get into
that parking lot in the car,okay, amen, lord Jesus, I
believe you are the son of God,that you died on the cross to
rescue me from sin and death andto restore me to the father.
(35:39):
I choose now to turn from mysins, my self-centeredness and
every part of my life that doesnot please you.
I choose you and I give myselfto you.
I receive your forgiveness andask you to take your rightful
place in my life as my saviorand Lord.
Come, reign in my heart, fillme with your love and your life,
(36:00):
restore me, jesus.
Thank you, god.
In Jesus' name, I pray.
If you agree, you just say amen, father.
For those who have reconfirmedtheir lives to you, even in a
thought, lord God, I ask that,as you receive them, that you
make it known to them thatyou've heard their cry.
Thank you for forgiving us forour sins, those of us who have
(36:22):
committed sins that we've beenso ashamed of, and as we hand it
back to you now, lord, god, wethank you that you've forgiven
us and give us the peace thatcomes with us.
Father, we know that thesemistakes and sins that we have
done, there are so many folkswho, under my voice, have been
condemned by the past, and youhave already, um turned the page
(36:43):
.
So I ask for god, in order forthem to renew their mindset,
that they'll be able to let goof past mistakes, thoughts,
words and deeds being harsh inspirit to others.
And I ask for god that you,that they will, uh, release that
now, release those things,release any thought that tells
them that they can't moveforward in life or that they're
paying a penance in any way,because you, truly you, already
(37:07):
paid that penance for us.
You were the ultimate lordjesus in in standing in and and
taking the, taking the heat forus, literally, you know.
So thank you, lord god, forwhat you've done, and ask that
you'll give them the peace thatpassed, all understanding that
can only come from you.
Give them the peace andknowledge now, lord God, so that
they can move forward, so thatthey won't be trapped in any
(37:28):
lies anymore.
Unshackle them, lord God, fromthe hate and any bitterness that
they've held on to, from pastdisappointments, and so that
they can move forward.
Thank you, god, that there is aclean slate today, that there is
a renewed mindset, and that yougive us peace.
I'm so excited about whatyou're doing in our lives and
(37:48):
whether it's on jobs or in ourhomes or God, even in our
communities where we serve, evenjust within our families.
I thank you that you've givenus another opportunity to just
watch things play out.
You're such a good father and Ithank you for blessing us today
.
Thank you for reframing ourthoughts and our minds so that
we can keep moving forward inChrist, and even as I'm saying
(38:09):
that, your word says to givethanks in all circumstances.
So that is what I'm thanking.
I'm thanking you that the willof God is playing out in our
lives, that for every personunder my breath, whether they're
here now or they're listeningto this years from now, that
they will come to know you asour true loving father.
I thank you for loving us somuch, lord God, that I mean the
(38:31):
God of all gods, of heaven, ofearth, the creator of everything
, the creator of the stars andmoon.
You, the creator of darkness,the creator of light, of all of
it, of time, even that you wouldseek to turn your ear towards
us and it blows our minds.
We'll never be able tounderstand truly you, we will
(38:55):
never have the full knowledge ofyou.
God, you, god.
So I just it's just so.
It's hard to understand thevastness and the beauty and the
awesomeness of you, god.
It's so hard I can't even putit into words.
It doesn't make sense that you,the creator of all, will look
(39:15):
upon your own creation and turnyour ear towards us, and you'd
still hear our ridiculousness,the things that we ask for when
it compares to all of creation,the things that we pray for.
And yet you still bless usbecause you love us.
And it will never make anysense until we meet you that day
(39:36):
and we thank you, god, for whatyou have done.
You are so good, you're soawesome, you're so gracious.
So, father, for those of us whoare asking to be more
transformed into you, lord Jesus, to be more like you, that
you'll give us your grace sothat we can do that, so that
we'll be more, we'll be kinder,we'll be happier, we'll be
(40:00):
filled with joy when we'reexperiencing your blessings this
month.
We don't take anything forgranted, that we have smiles on
our face, because we still havereason to worship and praise you
, and, if nothing more, it'sjust to be reminded that you are
our Father and that you see usand that you hear us, and that
you're still a part of our lives, as mundane as it is.
(40:22):
So I worship you and I thankyou, lord God.
I thank you for the holy onesthat you've sent to minister
unto us.
Thank you for the angels thatyou've assigned to us.
We receive them into this dayand we ask that they will
deliver every single message,everything that you have marked
out for this territory, for thisday.
That you'll bless our homes andour doors, lord God.
(40:42):
That no evil come near our tent.
That you'll touch our children,our friends, our partners, lord
God, as we go out and go in,that you will take us safely to
and from our destination.
For those who are waiting for adoctor's report, lord God, I
pray.
Lord God, you know how thingswill pan out, but we still ask
for your favor in every doctor'sreport, lord God, that you'll
turn things around in theirhealth, from the top of their
(41:03):
head to the bottom of their feet, but those, lord God, who are
seeking to be healthier, thatyou'll help us to manage our
intake, the things that we eat,and even to exercise, and even
find joy in that, the excellencein that.
Father, I thank you for all ofthese things and I give you all
the honor and praise.
Amen, amen, all right, y'all.
(41:25):
So we're at the benedictionnumbers 624 to 26.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make his face to shineupon you and be gracious to you
.
The Lord lift up hiscountenance upon you and give
you peace.
Amen.
All right, I'm going to stopsharing.
Come on to the room here.
Good morning.
So we see that in the world, we have to be careful
about what we say.
We have to be careful aboutwhat we say.
We have to be careful aboutwhat we say.

We have to be back to your home.
So I'm going to go back to myhome and I'm going to go back to
my home, and I'm going to goback to my home and I'm going to
go back to my home and I'mgoing to go back to my home,

didn't, morning y'all, happyAugust everybody.
Nothing is impossible.
And, oh man, we're gonna leaninto that this morning.
I have three scriptures that Iwant to share, but before I get
into it, I do have a few, justquick announcements, maybe
reminders as well, and I'm goingto obviously share my screen,
because that's how I do.
(06:16):
That's how I do.
I've only had one shot ofespresso so far, so I'm not at
my her peppy best, but I'mgrateful to be here.
So, with that said, goodmorning Also, good morning to
those, or good afternoon tothose who watched the replay.
For the next four weeks, so theentire month of August, this is
(06:38):
our theme.
So you may not see me post areminder every week that, like
we meet up every morning at 6.30on Mondays, we meet up every
morning at 6.30,.
Okay, I'm trying to just havelike one post for the month, tie
it to a theme.
We also have a theme for ourAugust teachings always have.
(06:59):
So you'll see that on Thursdaysat seven and Saturdays are just
kind of whatever the Lord showsme.
That's what we talk about, okay, so for the rest of the month
of August, we're going to focuson this being the month of
blessings, new things, newmindset, new vision, all of the
things.
Um, like I said, I did have afew announcements that I wanted
to share.
So for first off, lord, we'rejust so grateful that you've
(07:21):
allowed us to see this month ofAugust.
Thank you for waking us up inour right minds, in our willing
and ready to hear from you.
I thank you, lord, that you arethe creator of all.
You've given us breath thismorning.
We thank you for waking us up.
That means our assignment isnot complete.
We have another day to witnessand praise and worship and
glorify you, and we thank youfor that.
(07:43):
Wherever you send us out today,lord, whether you're sending us
out into a job or you'resending us into our own
household, whatever that lookslike for each and every one of
us, we know that we'll see yourglory today and we thank you for
this month of August.
We thank you for what you'regoing to show us, lord.
We're preparing our hearts andminds right now and I even ask,
lord God, as we move intoworship and prayer because
(08:05):
that's what this is that we askfor your forgiveness, anything
that we've thought or said ordone, even over the course of
the night, in our dreams.
Lord God, we ask that you'llforgive us, lord God, we confess
all and everything that we havesaid and done that has been
counter to what you've taught us.
Forgive us, lord God, foranything we've done to harm each
other, any harsh words withfamily members, children,
(08:28):
spouses, friends, even those whodon't care for us.
We ask that you'll forgive us,lord, god and Lord, we ask that
you'll just help us to stayfocused on you, especially this
month, and we worship you and wethank you for another Monday
morning, lord.
We thank you, lord, god, forwhat's coming this week.
I'm looking for everything new,all blessings, every single day
, and we're receiving thatYou're the God of all.
(08:51):
So we worship you, we thank youand we bless your holy name.
Amen.
You got to start off right,okay?
So before I go into the threescriptures, I just want to share
again three quick announcements, reminders and things that
we're going to be praying for.
The first one is just areminder, maybe a shout out,
also tied to prayer requests,that we do have the Facebook
(09:17):
chat, the prayer group, so youknow, remember, you can drop
your prayer requests in there oryou can call the phone line,
Okay.
But I just want to do a quickshout out to all the kids
especially.
You know I have a heart forkids going back to school,
especially in South Forsyth andFulton County, georgia, today.
So they're all going back toschool this morning.
So, though, their kids areprobably trying to wake up right
(09:41):
now, and maybe parents as wellteachers, staff members and
everybody's trying to geteverything going.
But a quick shout out to all ofyou I'm so excited about this
new school year and I pray thatthis is going to be one that's
going to be truly a blessing nobullying, great grades, and kids
are going to actually have fun.
(10:01):
I pray for the hearts of theteachers and staff that are
there to help and serve our kids, and also the parents y'all.
We got to make it easy forpeople to do their job, so don't
be a bully parent, okay.
So, taking care of the kids,having them in focus.
A shout out to all the kids inour neighborhood that's going
out today and for those, we hadsome kids who started last week.
(10:21):
So you know, happy school yearand all of that.
The second thing is that themonth of August, this is our
month when we pray for those jobseekers.
So again, remember, we'veshifted August to the phone
prayer line.
Three Prayer Sisters is everyThursday at 7 pm Eastern
Standard Time.
So come be blessed.
(10:41):
If you're not a job seeker,come help us pray for job
seekers, okay, like.
Come on y'all.
And also, if you're busy atthat time and you can't, you
know you're not a job seekercome help us pray for job
seekers.
Okay, like, come on y'all, andalso, if you're busy at that
time and you can't you knowyou're not available just
dropping it in your heart topray along with us Wherever you
are, just standing in agreementand praying for job seekers for
the month of August.
And the last thing is anotherreminder that Testimony Tuesday
(11:04):
is tomorrow night at 8 pmEastern Standard Time.
We typically share the video.
We share it from the YouTubechannel.
This is Makisha's channel, theDumping Run.
It's probably better if youjust subscribe to her channel.
That way you'll get thenotifications, like I do.
But I hope you'll come out andlisten to another.
She has another amazingtestimony tomorrow night, so I
(11:27):
hope that y'all will join usthere.
Remember, we don't do Tuesdaynight prayer anymore.
We've shifted to testimonyTuesday.
So y'all come out and supportand be uplifted.
So now I'm gonna get into thescriptures that we have for
today.
I'm calling it new mindset.
That's what we're gonna focuson, and it's really about
reframing the way we think, notjust for the season, but for
(11:50):
some of us, like for me, it'sfor the day ahead.
Okay, so it could be for thethinking the season ahead, the
month ahead, the day ahead, thehours ahead, the minutes ahead,
whatever it is, but renewing ourthinking.
And as I was getting ready, Iwas downstairs, you know,
getting my espresso together,and I was in the kitchen just
(12:11):
having this conversation in myhead, because this is the time
of year, y'all, that a lot ofconferences happen or would have
just happened.
There was a huge one here inGeorgia and you know I'm not how
do I put this I'm not a hugefan of mega conferences.
(12:31):
I'll just keep it short.
But I think, for me, I'm moreof an action person and I'm more
interested in what you do afteryou've left that conference.
Right, there's a lot of reallygood conferences, there's a lot
of really good conferences.
There's a lot of really greatinformation.
(12:51):
But we get excited and then weleave and then we do what Like?
What are y'all doing with it?
If you don't reframe or retrainor renew your thinking, then
you would have just wastedthousands of dollars to go and
listen to some great speakersand some singers and get hyped
up, and you come back and dayslater you're on empty.
(13:13):
So the intention is whatever.
Wherever you got your fill,even if you went to, you know,
maybe, maybe you didn't go to aconference, you went to church
and it was a great message.
On Sunday Maybe you had a greatvacation and you know, you, you
, you, you heard from the lord.
Whatever it is right.
If you don't do something withthe information, then the same
zero percent you had beforethese encounters, you're going
(13:36):
to end up there again.
And what we are trying to dothis year remember the word for
the year is discipline is havesome kind of discipline with the
way we do things, whether it'sin our finance, in our our
health, on the job, likewhatever it is, in our
relationships, in our worship.
Have some level of disciplinein what you do.
And discipline is painful.
(13:56):
Okay, there are some thingsthat you know, as I'm talking
about renewing our thinking.
This requires discipline.
Okay, it's not just going tohear someone and you catch a
clip and you share it on TikTokand you're excited for a moment.
It takes work and we know ittakes work because we see it in
the word.
Right, we know that with thehelp of the Holy Spirit, it's
(14:17):
not just us doing it byourselves that we can do these
things.
So this week we're going tofocus on a new mindset.
We're looking at these threeverses.
First one is Romans 12.2.
Do not be conformed, but betransformed right.
Conformed basically just meanslike you look and sound like the
(14:38):
world, and the more I hear someof these churches and their
amazing singers and bands, themore they sound like the world,
the more even church musicsounds like you know, the stuff
you'd hear on the radio Like wehave actually conformed more to
this world because people wantthat same level of entertainment
, not education, when they go tochurch.
(15:00):
Right, we're supposed to betaught and led when we go to
church and a lot of us havefallen into the trap of just
being entertained by greatspeakers.
Well, you're not going to beable to transform your mind if
you're sitting under and I don'tand listen.
I don't care where you go tochurch.
It could be a mega church, itcould be a little church.
Whatever it is.
If you, if you become conformed, if you become, you know,
(15:24):
there's so many believers like I.
Look at them and I can't seethe difference between them and
someone who follows Christ Likefor real, not just not even
people who say I'm a Christianbecause I don't even buy that
anymore.
Just to be honest, I'm watchinghow you walk, right.
So we're not supposed to beconformed and be identical and
look like the world.
(15:45):
We're supposed to betransformed, but it starts in
our mind.
It starts with the renewal ofour mind.
And why is that important?
So that we can test and discernwhat God's will is in all of
the situations in our liveswhat's good, what's acceptable
and what's perfect in his sight.
Not even what's in our sightright, because we might see
(16:05):
something and think it's goodaccording to what we think,
acceptable according to what wethink and perfect according to
what we think, but it's notnecessarily His will.
The will of God so that's thefirst one is not being conformed
, being transformed by therenewal of our mind.
Why?
So we can test y'all, so we cancheck into things we can check
(16:25):
into, we can discern what God'swill is in every situation.
Now the second verse isPhilippians 4.8.
And this actually tells yousome of the things that we
should be thinking about.
Right, this is what.
So now I'm saying you know,okay, we've got to renew our
minds so that we can test, etcetera.
So how?
So what are some of the thingswe should focus on?
So finally, brothers, whateveris true, whatever is honorable,
(16:48):
whatever is just, whatever ispure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is commendable, ifthere's any excellence, if
there's anything worthy ofpraise.
It says think about thesethings, right, think about these
things in your lives.
So what's true?
There's something I tell mymentees all the time.
What's true?
There's something I tell mymentees all the time I only
believe what's true about me.
(17:08):
I only believe what's trueabout me.
So no one can come and tell mesomething that's counter to what
God told me about me.
I believe what he says about me.
I'm the head and not the tail,so you can never come to me and
tell me anything different.
Okay, what's true?
Because I've tied it back tohis word.
(17:32):
What's honorable, what's just,what's?
You know what's pure, what'slovely?
Doesn't say anything aboutgossip and hate.
Is that?
It doesn't say anything abouttossing people under the bus.
It doesn't tell you anythingabout worshiping your pastor,
okay, like he's God.
Or your first lady, like she'sGod, but it doesn't say any of
anything about that, right?
So, so true, honorable, justand pure.
What's honorable about yourmarriage or your friendships?
(17:52):
What's just?
You know, you can see thingshappening around you.
What's just, or tied to justice, what's pure?
Y'all, what's lovely andbeautiful, the lives that we
have, we are so grateful.
Remember that the life you have, there is someone else who's
looking at your life, wishingthey have it.
So what's lovely?
Our children, our friends, youknow all those things.
(18:14):
What's commendable If there'sany excellence.
I'm just in a season right nowwhere I'm seeking out what
excellence looks like for mylife.
What does that look like?
And then I'm working towardsthat.
What's excellence look like?
And if there's anything worthyof praise, we're going to think
about these things Worthy ofpraising back to God.
(18:35):
The last scripture is that wedestroy arguments.
This is 2 Corinthians 10 5.
We destroy arguments and everylofty opinion raised against the
knowledge of God and take everythought captive to obey Christ.
There's a lot of arguments andlofty opinions that are actually
coming out of pastors right nowthat when you hear someone and
(18:57):
they sound great, they sound sogood and people will pick a
scripture and then they'll tiesomething that they picked up,
maybe in the Torah, and they tieit together and it sounds like
this is what it is and it'stotally against the knowledge of
God.
They don't have the knowledgeof God.
People are just spewing stuff.
Okay, because it gets ourattention right, so it gets into
(19:20):
our mindset, we start tobelieve we know more than what
the Lord says.
We have lofty opinions aboutwhat God says and what God's
going to do and all the thingswe start to create.
You know, we start to even saythese things out loud and we
start telling people.
We start we call it falseprophesying to people what God's
(19:40):
going to do in their lives.
And it's one thing to saysomething because you want to
support someone else's ideas orthoughts or whatever, but we've
got to be careful that we don'thave lofty opinions raised
against the knowledge of Godbecause we don't know what he's
going to.
We don't know what God's goingto do.
We have to again checkourselves.
(20:02):
So this is holding ourselvesand our minds accountable
because it starts in ourthoughts.
So this is holding ourselvesand our minds accountable
because it starts in ourthoughts.
We start thinking about the waysthat we can, you know, correct
or teach, but we're actuallycreating these arguments that
are against the knowledge of God.
So we're going to be asking theLord.
Lord, first of all, I don'teven want any thought, anything
(20:23):
that's against the knowledge ofyou.
I don't want to speak againstyou.
I don't even want to thinkagainst you.
And if there's any loftyopinion that we have Lord,
that's against you and who youare and how you're going to work
in this season.
We're asking that to be takencaptive, because what we don't
want to do is we don't want tospeak against.
I don't want to pray againstanything that's happening in
(20:46):
your life that God has meant foryou that season.
Okay, there are some thingsthat I'm not going to do this
month, and my mindset is I amnot going to pray people out of
a situation that they're in ifthat's not what the Lord is
telling me.
The Lord is asking us not askingus directing us to allow him.
(21:07):
Right, let him, let God be God,let God work.
You know, we've done such anincredible job of being the
folks who stand up for those inour families.
Right, we intercede and we prayfor folks, but there are times
when people have to learn thelesson and we're busy trying to
(21:28):
pray them out of the lesson andthe Lord's like yo, let me be
God.
They have to go through thispain, they have to go through
this disappointment, they haveto go through this period.
So what we pray for then is weask God to give them strength
while they're going through thisseason, and that also means
that we have to transform theway we think about what the will
of God is and we start to askGod whatever is good and
(21:51):
acceptable and perfect.
That's what we're asking for inthis person's life.
So we have to shift the way wethink, not just in our own
mindset and our thoughts when itcomes to our lives, but we also
have to change the way that weapproach the throne and when it
comes to knowledge of God andhow we apply that when he sends
us out to do an assignment.
Amen, I know that's a wholemouthful.
(22:11):
I hope that makes sense toy'all.
But now we're going to shiftinto prayer and again, like I
said, the theme is mindset, newmindset.
I'm giving you three scripturesand I'm encouraging you to pray
alongside me.
So, father, we thank you againfor this morning and this new
month of August.
I thank you for all of thethings that you've already shown
(22:31):
us in your word when it comesto renewing our mind and, just
as your scripture has taught us,we have no business trying to
be gods.
We are not you, and we glorifyyou, we honor you and we thank
you, holy Spirit, for correctingus and reminding us that there
is only one God, and that is notus.
So we ask, lord God, that youtake the rightful place in our
lives as our Savior and our Lord, and we submit ourselves, our
(22:55):
thoughts, our words and ourdeeds to you, this morning and
even for the rest of this monthand the rest of this season,
father, as we're asking that ourmindsets are renewed, we start,
lord God, by asking you, father, to forgive us, those of us
who've allowed ourselves to beconformed to the world, that you
can't tell any differencebetween a believer in Christ or
a believer or one who lives inthe world.
(23:17):
We are in the world, but we'renot supposed to be of it, and
yet we look so much like theworld that is confusing to those
who don't believe in Christ.
So I'm asking, lord, that youwill show every person, under
the sound of my voice, show themthe areas in their lives where
they have become conformed.
Lord God, all of us, so that wecan correct it.
We don't want to be, lord God,like those around us who don't
(23:40):
believe in you, who think likethat.
We don't want to think like theworld.
We want to think like you, lordJesus.
So we ask that you point thosethings out, every dark place in
our hearts, our thoughts, in ourminds, even in our dreams, lord
God, in our own desires.
If anything we've done we'veconformed in any way to this
(24:03):
world, show us, lord God, sothat we can course correct.
Today we want to be transformedinto you, jesus.
We wanna be more like you, tothink more like you, to treat
people around us like you wouldhave us treat, to follow your
example.
So, lord, renew our minds, lordGod, so that we can test and
discern your will in everysituation for what is good and
(24:25):
what is acceptable in your sight, not even in our sight, because
we don't understand the thingsthat are happening around us.
We can't put two and twotogether.
Father, we know that we havevictory in you.
We thank you that we havevictory in Christ.
There is no weapon formedagainst us that will ever
prosper because we have beencalled and marked by you.
Therefore, today, we declarevictory in everything that we
(24:48):
put our hands to.
We know that this is going to bea productive and a highly
blessed season.
We thank you, lord God, thatyou're going to fill our barns,
lord God, lord God, restore ourhomes, anything that was taken
or stolen, that you willreconcile it back, lord God, you
will restore it.
So we don't have to worry aboutwhether or not you will provide
, because you will provide,because we are your children.
(25:10):
So, lord God, we're standing inagreement and believing that
everything good and acceptableand pure, all of those things
will happen to us this month, nomatter what the enemy has
charted out, any incantations orlies or anything that the enemy
has set up as trap in our homes, in our cars, in our minds.
Lord God, lord God, even on thejob, any trap that the enemy
(25:32):
has set, even with technology,lord God, that you will, of
course, correct it right now.
And we come before your holyaltar and we thank you for your
grace and your mercy in thissituation and in this request
that we have before you.
Lord, you've given us, you'vegiven us examples of what we
could think about anythingthat's true and honorable and
just and pure and lovely,commendable, and anything where
(25:55):
there's excellence and anythingworthy of praise.
So, father, I just ask that,day after day, as you send your
holy ones to minister unto us,that they will also remind us,
point out the situations andremind us what is true and what
is honorable, what is just andwhat is pure, what is lovely,
commendable and excellent, sothat we can align back to those
(26:16):
things and praise you, anythingthat is worthy of praise, father
.
Would you bring it up?
Bring it back up to the frontof our minds so that we can
focus on these things, not on Idon things.
Lord, I don't even want to hearabout how enemies attacking
anybody this month.
I only want to hear about howyou're blessing us this month,
lord.
That's where I'm at, lord.
(26:37):
I don't care what plans theenemy has.
We are walking victorious inChrist.
I don't care any of that.
That is not the mindset thismonth.
We have a winning mindset,knowing that all things are
working together for our good.
So I don't care any of that.
That is not the mindset thismonth.
We have a winning mindset,knowing that all things are
working together for our good.
So I don't even want to hearthat.
Lord.
God, if there's any electricalissues going on in our houses,
even right now, I know that allthings are working together for
(26:58):
our good.
Anything that's happening withanyone's cars under the sound of
my voice, we know that allthings are working together for
our good.
Anything that's been anyschemes or confusion or chaos
that's happening on the job.
We know that all things areworking together for our good.
Anyone who's going through anyhealth issues, we know that all
things are working together forour good.
Even those who are sufferinggreat, great loss, lord God, in
(27:22):
their family, even death, lordGod, we know that all things are
working together for our good.
Any situation that comesagainst our children while
they're at school, we know thatall things are working together
for our good.
There is nothing that the enemycan do to us because we have
been marked and set apart by you.
We thank you, god, that you'resmiling on us and so we're going
to align ourselves with thatmindset that we are walking
(27:44):
victoriously in Christ and thatall things are working together
for our good.
We thank you, lord God, thatyou will show us, lord God, this
month, so that we can bereminded, even even when we have
days when you know tough daysthat will come, that will come
across, lord God, disappointingdays, exhausting days that
you'll remind us, lord God, thatall things are still working
(28:06):
together for our good.
We thank you, lord, that youwill remind us, lord God, that
all things are still workingtogether for our good.
We thank you, lord, that youwill destroy any argument,
anything that comes out of ourmouth that comes out as a lofty
opinion that we have beenmistakenly calling it prophecy
because we do not have theknowledge of God.
Lord, we're asking that youwill even shut our mouth.
We don't want to say anythingthat's counter to your will in
(28:26):
anyone's life.
Lord, god, those who are seekingout these great titles, lord, I
just want to be your daughter.
I just want to be Shelly.
I don't want to be nothing butthat I am the lowest of low.
I thank you, lord, that youhave used this broken and very
chipped vessel and I will doeven the bare minimum, the
(28:48):
things that other people don'twant to do.
I will do that.
I will be a laborer for you.
Lord, god, that's all I want isto glorify you and honor you.
I don't need a title, I justneed your presence.
And, father God, I ask that youwill cast down any lofty opinion
that will come out of thisministry, anything that will
cause any kind of confusion.
(29:11):
Lord God, that you will shut itdown, because that is not our
purpose.
Our purpose is to worship andglorify you and draw men back to
you.
So we hand over again thismonth, lord God, our phone line.
We hand over testimony Tuesday.
We hand over everything,anything connected to this
ministry in any way, so that youget all the glory and all the
(29:31):
honor and all the praise.
We thank you, god.
As we honor your name, we knowthat you will bless us, your
children, bless us in overflowfor those who are oh, we're all
standing in need of that, lordGod.
Bless us, give us high favor,lord God, in our jobs, in our
projects, in our communication,in our encounters.
Give us your supernatural favor, lord God, go before us and go
(29:52):
with us.
Holy Spirit, in every encounterthat we have.
I pray, lord, that this monthof August, as you give us new
blessings and new ideas and newcreative thoughts, lord God, you
give us even new energy, sothat you know, for those who are
worn out, father, I ask thatyou'll, even for those who need
all of us who need to work onour health better, lord God,
that this month we won't justwaste another 30, 31 days.
(30:16):
Lord God, 30 days.
I ask that you'll use thisthese next few weeks, lord God,
that you'll even show us how tomake improvements in our health
and what we put in our body,what we eat, what we speak,
where we go, father, and limitany distractions that we've
created.
(30:36):
Lord, God and Father, we thankyou and we bless you.
We're receiving.
We thank you that our heartsare ready.
Lord God, we want to hear fromyou that this is a month of
downloads for me.
We thank you for that.
Well, we are open to that andas we hand over everything, any
thought, anything that wasthrowing us off course, anything
that was distracting us,anything that was coming up as a
(30:56):
thought, as a negative thought,we're capturing that that is
not our thoughts, that is notfrom you, and we're even handing
over our minds, lord God, so wecan hear, we want to think like
you this month, lord Jesus,we're asking you to help us to
do that in every area of ourlife, and we thank you in all
these things that we ask in yourson's name.
(31:17):
And so, lord God, when we offerup our declaration, we do this
in alignment with what you havesaid and, week after week, and
month after month and year afteryear, we have been releasing
these words according to whatyour instructions are.
When we say these words, it'sbecause we're in agreement with
what heaven says about us, whatis true about us.
So, lord God, as it is trueabout us, because it is your
(31:40):
will and written in your word,when we release these words,
they're not just words.
These are our agreement, it'swhat we come in agreement with
what you say about us.
This is what is true about usand therefore we stand in
alignment with this.
This is what is true.
Thank you, lord, that you say.
(32:01):
Lord God, no weapon formedagainst us can prosper, because
we are the righteousness of God.
Favor surrounds us as a shieldand your divine protection
surrounds us as a shield, andwe're in the right place at the
right time.
We can't be defeated ordestroyed, and every tongue that
accuses us and every tonguethat attacks us, we can condemn
with our own words, because ofthe power of the Holy Spirit.
(32:23):
This is our heritage, this isour right as a child of God.
We're made in your image,father.
We're made with your dominionand authority, living in us and
coming forth out of our ownspirits through our words.
Thank you, father, that todayand no day, there is no day ever
when Satan will have power overour life, because every weapon
(32:44):
he has has been defeated by theblood of Jesus Christ and fear
is cast out.
Your love is what makes ourfaith work, and we can't fail.
Your word can't fail and that'swhat we're made of.
We're made of your word, we'remade in your image, we're made
after your likeness, with thepower of the holy spirit and
authority living in our words,kebras, therefore, by the power,
(33:09):
by the blood of jesus.
We know we dwell in the secretplace of the most high.
We know we abide under theshadow of the almighty god.
We know that we can say, we canstand in agreement and declare
this day you are our refuge, youare our fortress, and we know,
god, that it's in you that wetrust.
We thank you, god, for blessingus.
(33:31):
We thank you for what your wordsays about us and we believe
what you say.
So, father, god, even as we gothrough the rest of this week,
we ask that you renew ourmindset to believe and remember,
remember, remember what yourword says, that we have your
supernatural favor and we haveyour divine protection and
(33:51):
there's no weapon formed againstus that can prosper, because
these are the things that aretrue about us.
We thank you, god, forreminding us this week of our
identity, that it lives in you,that, in the same way that you
are in us, holy Spirit, we arein you, holy Father.
So, father, I thank you thatthis week, that, no matter what
(34:11):
the enemy had set forth againstany person under the sound of my
voice, any plan or anyincantation, or any witchcraft,
or any lies or any ugly thoughtsor any distraction, it is set
on fire now.
Any plans, anything that waswritten down with their names on
it by blood or by water or byfire, it is destroyed.
In the name of Jesus Christ,they are set back on course.
(34:34):
Or, god, father, I thank youfor blessing us in the name of
your son, jesus.
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.
Name of your son Jesus, amen,amen, amen, amen, Amen, amen.
So now, y'all, if you want toreconfirm your relationship with
Jesus, you just say amen at theend of this prayer.
Or for those of you who, again,if you're watching the replay
and you've heard me for sometime now and you want to be born
(34:56):
again, obviously you know thenext thing I always say you got
to find a Bible-based church.
I'm very specific when I say aBible-based church.
I'm not telling you to go findthe biggest one you can find.
I'm not telling you any of that.
I'm saying find a church thatcan teach you that you can join
(35:18):
into a prayer, a praying family,where you can go and serve and
be a part of community.
Okay, but even when you go tochurch on Sunday, remember you
got to leave that church andcome into the parking lot in the
car.
So go to a church that teachesyou who to be when you get into
that parking lot in the car,okay, amen, lord Jesus, I
believe you are the son of God,that you died on the cross to
rescue me from sin and death andto restore me to the father.
(35:39):
I choose now to turn from mysins, my self-centeredness and
every part of my life that doesnot please you.
I choose you and I give myselfto you.
I receive your forgiveness andask you to take your rightful
place in my life as my saviorand Lord.
Come, reign in my heart, fillme with your love and your life,
(36:00):
restore me, jesus.
Thank you, god.
In Jesus' name, I pray.
If you agree, you just say amen, father.
For those who have reconfirmedtheir lives to you, even in a
thought, lord God, I ask that,as you receive them, that you
make it known to them thatyou've heard their cry.
Thank you for forgiving us forour sins, those of us who have
(36:22):
committed sins that we've beenso ashamed of, and as we hand it
back to you now, lord, god, wethank you that you've forgiven
us and give us the peace thatcomes with us.
Father, we know that thesemistakes and sins that we have
done, there are so many folkswho, under my voice, have been
condemned by the past, and youhave already, um turned the page
(36:43):
.
So I ask for god, in order forthem to renew their mindset,
that they'll be able to let goof past mistakes, thoughts,
words and deeds being harsh inspirit to others.
And I ask for god that you,that they will, uh, release that
now, release those things,release any thought that tells
them that they can't moveforward in life or that they're
paying a penance in any way,because you, truly you, already
(37:07):
paid that penance for us.
You were the ultimate lordjesus in in standing in and and
taking the, taking the heat forus, literally, you know.
So thank you, lord god, forwhat you've done, and ask that
you'll give them the peace thatpassed, all understanding that
can only come from you.
Give them the peace andknowledge now, lord God, so that
they can move forward, so thatthey won't be trapped in any
(37:28):
lies anymore.
Unshackle them, lord God, fromthe hate and any bitterness that
they've held on to, from pastdisappointments, and so that
they can move forward.
Thank you, god, that there is aclean slate today, that there is
a renewed mindset, and that yougive us peace.
I'm so excited about whatyou're doing in our lives and
(37:48):
whether it's on jobs or in ourhomes or God, even in our
communities where we serve, evenjust within our families.
I thank you that you've givenus another opportunity to just
watch things play out.
You're such a good father and Ithank you for blessing us today
.
Thank you for reframing ourthoughts and our minds so that
we can keep moving forward inChrist, and even as I'm saying
(38:09):
that, your word says to givethanks in all circumstances.
So that is what I'm thanking.
I'm thanking you that the willof God is playing out in our
lives, that for every personunder my breath, whether they're
here now or they're listeningto this years from now, that
they will come to know you asour true loving father.
I thank you for loving us somuch, lord God, that I mean the
(38:31):
God of all gods, of heaven, ofearth, the creator of everything
, the creator of the stars andmoon.
You, the creator of darkness,the creator of light, of all of
it, of time, even that you wouldseek to turn your ear towards
us and it blows our minds.
We'll never be able tounderstand truly you, we will
(38:55):
never have the full knowledge ofyou.
God, you, god.
So I just it's just so.
It's hard to understand thevastness and the beauty and the
awesomeness of you, god.
It's so hard I can't even putit into words.
It doesn't make sense that you,the creator of all, will look
(39:15):
upon your own creation and turnyour ear towards us, and you'd
still hear our ridiculousness,the things that we ask for when
it compares to all of creation,the things that we pray for.
And yet you still bless usbecause you love us.
And it will never make anysense until we meet you that day
(39:36):
and we thank you, god, for whatyou have done.
You are so good, you're soawesome, you're so gracious.
So, father, for those of us whoare asking to be more
transformed into you, lord Jesus, to be more like you, that
you'll give us your grace sothat we can do that, so that
we'll be more, we'll be kinder,we'll be happier, we'll be
(40:00):
filled with joy when we'reexperiencing your blessings this
month.
We don't take anything forgranted, that we have smiles on
our face, because we still havereason to worship and praise you
, and, if nothing more, it'sjust to be reminded that you are
our Father and that you see usand that you hear us, and that
you're still a part of our lives, as mundane as it is.
(40:22):
So I worship you and I thankyou, lord God.
I thank you for the holy onesthat you've sent to minister
unto us.
Thank you for the angels thatyou've assigned to us.
We receive them into this dayand we ask that they will
deliver every single message,everything that you have marked
out for this territory, for thisday.
That you'll bless our homes andour doors, lord God.
(40:42):
That no evil come near our tent.
That you'll touch our children,our friends, our partners, lord
God, as we go out and go in,that you will take us safely to
and from our destination.
For those who are waiting for adoctor's report, lord God, I
pray.
Lord God, you know how thingswill pan out, but we still ask
for your favor in every doctor'sreport, lord God, that you'll
turn things around in theirhealth, from the top of their
(41:03):
head to the bottom of their feet, but those, lord God, who are
seeking to be healthier, thatyou'll help us to manage our
intake, the things that we eat,and even to exercise, and even
find joy in that, the excellencein that.
Father, I thank you for all ofthese things and I give you all
the honor and praise.
Amen, amen, all right, y'all.
(41:25):
So we're at the benedictionnumbers 624 to 26.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make his face to shineupon you and be gracious to you
.
The Lord lift up hiscountenance upon you and give
you peace.
Amen.
All right, I'm going to stopsharing.
Come on to the room here.
Good morning.
