When God lets go of your hand, it's not abandonment but preparation for your next spiritual phase. He's given all the instructions and guidance needed, and now it's time to exercise faith even when His presence feels less tangible.
• God sometimes releases our hand to develop our spiritual muscles
• Discipline feels painful in the moment but yields righteousness to those trained by it
• The Lord establishes the work of our hands through His favor
• We need the tongue of those who are taught to sustain the weary
• Cutting back on social media consumption can restore spiritual clarity
• Our testimony comes through how we live, not just what we say
• God's favor makes our path and purpose unshakeable
• Training comes through everyday application of God's wisdom
• This season requires character building more than spiritual experiences
• Our homes should be portals for God's presence to come and go
This is a week where we'll witness miracle after miracle and encounter after encounter. Heaven will be busy this week, stepping into our homes, blessing our doors, windows and every corner.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Thank you, thank you.
There's a war going on in theatmosphere right now.
Somebody take me to that place.
I'm trying to get your mindback.
I'm trying to get your mindback.
There's a war going on.
(02:20):
Oh my God.
Thank you, amen, amen.
(03:46):
I think I'm gonna start just acouple minutes early because
there's no song.
I have that last two minutes,so I'm gonna go ahead and just
say good morning y'all.
Good morning to those, or goodafternoon or good evening to
those who are gonna watch, um,us on replay, um, so shout out
to those who watch us onfacebook, good morning to those
who are going to pick us up onum youtube and just wherever you
(04:10):
are.
I'm so grateful that we havey'all we've come into.
Is it the last week of july?
Hold on, let me look at mycalendar real quick.
Oh, it's almost the last weekof july.
I'm counting down through julyand July and I'm excited about
what this week has to offer.
So this one is going to feellike a ripcord short one,
because I want to jump rightinto scripture and I want to say
(04:36):
a couple of things before we dothis y'all, because I feel like
this past weekend and I've hadlike very little sleep last
night, but this past weekend Iwas in such a mood.
I just felt like um, like whereare you, holy spirit?
I don't know if, I don't knowif you go through these phases
(04:58):
where you just feel like there'sa, there's distance and I, I am
so, um, I'm very, I'm hyperaware.
Probably this is not part,probably not a good thing, but
I'm hyper aware of his presencewhen he's like fully activated
in me.
And then I'm also hyper awarewhen, um, when he's not as like
(05:22):
a thousand percent you know whatI'm saying Like I, I.
There's some times where I feellike, um, this is just my, this
is just my, uh, this is just myjourney.
Okay, there's some times when Ijust feel like it's me and the
Lord Jesus and the Holy spiritis like holding my hand, like a
father or like an older brother,if you will, don't get offended
(05:46):
, all right, but he's holding myhand and I'm a little kid, I'm
a little girl, and he's kind ofwalking me, marching me through
things, walking me throughcrowds, through situations,
through thoughts, just likeholding my hand.
And then there are times whenhe lets go of my hand, and it
doesn't mean that he's notcarrying me through something.
It's just he's let go of myhand and now it's up to me to
(06:07):
put my foot forward.
And it's scary.
I don't like it.
I don't like it at all.
And so I felt this weekend likeI'm in a weird season where
he's let go of my hand, he'sgiven me all of the instructions
and guidance that I need.
He's given me courage, hisstrength, his favor, even though
(06:29):
things are like fuzzy, like Idon't have the answers to
everything.
Nobody has the answers toeverything.
But I felt like he's let go ofmy hand and now he's like okay,
now you go.
And when I put my foot one infront of the other, it's doing
it firmly, believing that he'sstill like.
He's still like right here, hehasn't left me.
(06:50):
He's like right, he's on myright side, my left side.
He's even standing behind me.
The word talks about goodnessand mercy following me.
I feel that in my life, butthere are times when, just for
me, it feels like he's let go ofmy hand, and this is where we
have to rely on the word.
Sometimes the Lord puts a wordin your heart, in your spirit,
(07:13):
but you're expected to dosomething with the word.
You're expected to act on itright.
He might have given you a greatidea, he might have given you
guidance, y'all.
He might have told us what todo, what not to do, what to do,
what not to do, and then he letsgo of our hand.
And letting go of our handdoesn't mean he's let go of us.
All it means is that now wehave to do.
(07:33):
We have to do the work.
This is a journey.
This relationship we have withthis awesome lord jesus goes
both ways.
There's sometimes when he's,you know, I mean, I'm so
engulfed.
I try not to do this, I try notto like.
I call it like going up on themountain with the Lord and I
will just pull myself away fromeverything and everyone and I
(07:56):
want to just sit in his presenceand soak in everything, and I
don't want to come back, youknow.
But there are times like thiswhere the Lord is like it's like
you've been on a training wheel, like I don't listen, I don't,
I don't, I'm not, I don't knowwho experiences these, the, the,
their walk um in the same way,or or have gone through
(08:16):
something similar.
But I've been praying for thelast couple of weeks for the
Lord to tear down walls, andwe've been doing that
consistently through praise andprayer.
And I've watched him as we havetorn down emotional walls,
spiritual walls, physical walls,financial walls.
I've watched him spring upbecause we were obedient in
(08:38):
doing that.
I'm watching him spring upthings in other people, watching
other ministries blossom andbloom up things in other people,
watching other ministriesblossom and bloom, watching the
women around me grow and becomeempowered and filled with
courage.
Watch them not only speak lovebut receive it, like I'm
watching the Lord tear downwalls in other people.
And it's a scary thing.
(08:59):
Y'all we're doing new things.
We're being challenged to keepgoing the dreams that we have.
They didn't die.
Some of us just didn't botherwatering the seeds God planted
in us, or we wanted somebodyelse to do it, or we wanted the
plant to look a certain waybefore we believe in it.
Right.
And yet here's this week thatwe're entering into, where,
(09:20):
again, you might feel like he'slet go of your hand, but the
truth is he's still with us.
And so the scriptures thatwe're going to go into today,
they're going to do three things.
Three things we're going to do,right.
The first one I've got somewords bolded.
The first one is discipline.
The second one is establishedand the third one has to do with
(09:40):
our mouth and our ears.
All right, because we stillwant to speak with wisdom and
want to hear in the same waywe're taught.
So, father, before we even gofurther, I just thank you for
awakening us this morning.
For those who feel like you'vekind of let go of our hands and
we know that doesn't mean thatyou've left us we know that
there's nowhere that we could go, that we will be without you.
(10:01):
But for those of us that youhave taken off the training
wheels, lord God, and you'veshifted us, we've been asking
for promotion and expansion andwe want more and we want
blessings and we want to breakcurses and all the things, lord
God.
And yet you have been doingthat, you've been preparing us
for this amazing journey, forthis season that we're in.
So I even ask, lord God, thatas we're entering into this new
(10:24):
phase of our walk with you, aswe're building up our
relationship with you, my desireis to have more and more of you
, more encounters with you, tohear from you, Lord God, that as
we're making decisions, thatyou'll give us the wisdom to
make the right call, the rightdecision, not just for ourselves
, but our family, our children,our spouses, our partners, even
(10:46):
the folks we work with.
Lord God, we desire you morethan anything this morning and I
ask for God that you know, forthose of us who are growing and
expanding, as you're speaking toour hearts and you're giving us
, even bringing the joy back,lord, I ask that you'll bless us
and lead us.
Father, forgive us for anythingwe have said or done, anything
(11:07):
that was impure, any thoughts,any dreams, anything, lord God,
that we've touched, anything,any doors we have opened that
were never meant to be, anyagreements we came in with
anyone.
Lord God, that you'll shut nowanything that we have caused,
any ripple effect that we havecaused because of the words that
we've used.
Lord God, that you'll shut itdown.
(11:28):
We want to start afresh andanew this morning, this Monday
morning, lord God, and as we goforth into this week, lord God,
that this week that you'll showus, in every area of our life,
what we need to do and bless usand give us your favor, as you
always do.
Amen, amen.
Three scriptures, very, verysimple.
The first one is arounddiscipline, and discipline.
(11:50):
Remember is our word for thisyear and if you have been
consistent.
If you've been consistent,there should have been some
changes in your life by now.
Right here, we are almost atthe end of July, so there should
have been some changes in yourlife for the better.
Hebrews 12, 11 says for themoment, all discipline seems
(12:11):
painful rather than pleasant,but later, y'all, it yields the
peaceful fruit of righteousnessto those who have been trained
by it.
So discipline, there's a measureof training that comes with it.
Right, we can't just be like,well, I'm going to be
disciplined in exercise.
Well, there's a, there's a okay, that's, that's great.
But there's something that youhave to do.
(12:33):
There's a training involved.
And how do we know this?
Well, we know that when we saywe want to be disciplined in our
exercise, a lot of us will goto.
Maybe you'll go to a final oldvideo, maybe you'll join a gym,
maybe you'll, you know, but youwould have.
Maybe you talk to your friendswho have already done it, people
who could give you advice onhow to build up a training that
(12:53):
works for you.
So there's some level oftraining or guidance that comes
with that.
And it might seem painful whenyou're working out or you're
cutting off the you know, thesweet and the snacks and all the
things that you know you needto do it in order to have that
level of discipline.
But but we know that it's goingto give you the peaceful fruit.
Right, there is a fruit thatcomes with it at the end of this
(13:16):
training, right, so it is whenwe're having discipline in our
uh, in a walk with the lord, orthe way that we discipline, we
know again, we discipline ourchildren and we know that's
going to yield a peaceful fruit.
We know that if we disciplinethe way that we speak, where we
go, who we have friendships with, all the things that we have
discipline and how much time wespend on social media.
(13:39):
I was thinking about thisyesterday that I've had to just
kind of cut back even on mysocial media intake, because on
social media, especially onTikTok and Facebook facebook
people give you two categoriesof content.
You either get the best ofthings or you get the absolute
worst of things.
It's very rare that you getsomething that's in the middle.
(14:00):
People are either celebratingor they're denigrating, because
that gets views right, and inthe middle they sell you stuff
right.
So if you are on social mediaand you're becoming consumed by
it where all you're seeing arethings that are fed to you based
on your own thoughts, your owndesires.
Right, you start to believeeverything.
(14:20):
If you're on social media andyou over consume, you really
start to believe one that bodyoil is going to save your life,
right?
Or everybody goes to abu dhabi.
You might believe thateverybody's going on vacation to
europe.
Like.
You're gonna believe the bestof what people show you, the
best of best, right, um?
Or the worst of worst.
(14:42):
You're gonna start seeing allthese fights and it starts to
feed your mind.
You start really thinking thatthe only people that fight are
black people, right, becausethat's what's on social media
and it will keep getting you.
You'll start to your mind, willstart to be trained, your
thoughts will start to go acertain way, your attitude
changes.
So you have to have a measureof discipline.
(15:05):
So, so, um, again, and it mightbe painful for you to come off
that thing, right, but again,peaceful fruit, peaceful fruit,
and you've got to be trained byit.
So the first prayer point isdiscipline.
The second one I'm going to dolike one whole prayer and y'all
pray along whatever the Lord isshowing you and including people
he puts.
Don't wait for me to pray forsomeone.
(15:26):
You have that you can do thesame.
Psalm 90, verse 17 let the favorof the lord, our god, be upon
us and establish the work of ourhands.
It says, yes, establish thework of his hands.
What does it mean?
When my hands established onsomething, nothing is going to
move it right.
When god's favor is upon me, Idon't care, care what scheme, I
(15:50):
don't care how, I don't care whosaid what.
I don't care about none of that.
It is established.
The Lord's work is established.
I don't care about competition,I don't care what I'm saying,
none of that stuff matters.
So when we know that the workof our hands is established, we
don't have to worry about whatso-and-so said and what
so-and-so is trying to do, andwe don't care about any of that
(16:12):
because it's established.
We have the favor of the Lordand it's upon us, like it's on
us y'all, and his favorestablishes the work of our
hands.
It's his favor, amen.
And Isaiah 50, verse 4,.
Now it says the Lord has givenme what?
The tongue of those who aretaught, the tongue of those who
are taught, and by him.
(16:33):
We want him to teach us.
But also, the Lord will sendyou mentors or friends or
coaches or folks who have wisdomright.
So I want to have the tongue ofthose who are taught, so that
when I speak, my words are wise,right.
It says that I may know how tosustain with a word him who is
weary.
(16:54):
So it's not just speaking right, it's not just saying stuff,
it's how do I sustain my family,my daughter, my husband, my
friends, how do I sustain peoplewho are weary?
Again, it's one thing to knowscripture.
I say this all the time it'sone thing to know scripture.
It's one thing to be baptized,it's one thing to call yourself
(17:15):
a Christian.
But if the life you're living,y'all, when you close, when you
close your Bible, or when youcome out of your church and
you're in your parking lot,that's when the life actually
begins right, it's literally,it's how we live out this life.
And so if you're seeking God'sdeep mysteries and you wanna
know about heaven and the secondheaven, you wanna know about
(17:38):
angels, you wanna know all thosethings, and you're asking for
wisdom so that, so again, thetongue of those who are taught.
Are you doing it so that youcan sustain those who are weary?
Are you doing it so that youcan sustain those who are weary.
Are you doing it so that youcan puff yourself up?
Morning by morning, he awakens.
He awakens my ear to hear.
Right, he has to wake up my earto hear, as those who are
(17:59):
taught.
So, every single day.
We're asking him this week Lord, awaken my ear to hear.
You Give me wisdom.
Right, I want the tongue ofthose who are taught.
Lord, give me that.
Amen.
Discipline establishing us thetongue of those who are taught
and awakening our ears to hear.
Those are the four points thatwe're going to pray over this
(18:21):
morning and, if you're inagreement, you can pray along
with me.
If there's something else theLord has put on your heart, you
go ahead and do that.
So, heavenly Father, we thankyou for your holy presence.
I thank you, holy Spirit, forjust reminding us of who you are
and the power that you have,the amazing power that you have.
That's what we're tapping intothis morning.
(18:43):
It's not that we're asking forpower for ourselves.
What we're asking for is anacknowledgement of your presence
in our hearts and our lives,and we thank you, lord Jesus,
for all that you have alreadydone.
You've already broken downevery single spiritual wall
there is, you've already foughtevery battle and every single
victory, as the song says, hasbeen won.
So I thank you, lord God, thatyou have already gone ahead into
(19:06):
this week and you have alreadydeclared victory over each and
every one of us.
So now, as we approach yourholy throne, we ask for God
first, that you will forgive usfor our sins, and we repent for
every thought and deed, everyaction, anything that we would
say.
Even after we leave this prayerthis morning, lord God, as we
go into the day, we know that weare sinners or God.
(19:26):
So even as we leave this prayer, lord god, even this afternoon,
I ask that you'll forgive usfor what is to come, what we
will do, and we thank you, lordgod, that you're such a grateful
father, gracious father.
We thank you, we're gratefulfor you, we're grateful for you,
we thank you, lord.
So, lord, we first, we thankyou for discipline.
We thank you, lord god, thatthat this keeps us on track so
(19:48):
that we can accomplish the greatthings that you have marked out
for each and every one of us.
Father, the road has been sorocky for so many, lord God, but
, lord, I ask that you willreframe the situation today.
Lord God, show us how to applydiscipline in everything that we
say or do, any place that we go, any person that we speak to.
(20:10):
How do we use your wisdom tomake wise decision?
Your wisdom, lord, we want totap into you, lord God.
We want to build ourselves up,lord God, so that we can
accomplish the very task thatyou've set us out to do, but we
need discipline.
We need discipline so that wecan continue to have a personal,
one-on-one relationship withyou, lord God, not just waiting
(20:31):
until something is wrong, but,lord, coming to you every single
day, every moment of the day,with every breath that we take.
Lord God, we glorify you and wehonor you as our creator and we
thank you, father God, forgiving us guidance.
I thank you, lord God, for thedoors that you have closed and
the ones that you have opened.
I thank you, lord God, for thedoors that you have closed and
the ones that you have opened.
Father, thank you for giving uswisdom and the keys, lord God,
(20:52):
so that we know where to go, whoto speak to.
Today, I call down favor onevery single one of us, lord God
, in every conversation, everymeeting, in every encounter,
that your supernatural favorwill be upon us, lord, god, lord
God, we thank you that you willspeak to each of us and
establish the hands, the work ofour hands, everything that we
(21:13):
touch, anything that we need todo today, lord, god, that will
take us to the next level thatwe're trying to get to, whether
that is promotion, whetherthat's acceleration, whatever it
is that we're hoping to do,everything that we touch is
established because of yourfavor upon us that you will
establish our works, that no onecan steal our ideas and no one
(21:35):
can steal our identities.
No one can take us off thispath, no one, not even ourselves
.
And when the thoughts of doubtor God or anything like that,
any words or anything that wasplanted by someone before, when
it shows up to try to take usoff track, it will be destroyed.
In the name of Jesus, lord, weask for this.
We thank you, lord, god, we arecarrying your banner when
(21:57):
people see us.
We want them to see you.

field, lord God, to work, lordGod, whatever assignment you
have given them, whether they'rein a job or they're running a
business or they're building abusiness, lord God, as we are
(28:50):
waiting to hear word for thosewho are still looking for
employment, lord God, thatyou're shifting things in their
minds, lord God, so when theymove into that next job, they
won't lose themselves.
Father, I thank you that this isa character-building season
that we're in, that we don'tjust call ourselves Christians,
we don't just call ourselveshighly favored, but you're
(29:10):
shaping our character.
You're shaping us as leaders inour own household.
Father, I thank you that thisis a season that we are to model
who we should be in front ofour children and yay, even in
front of our spouses.
So many of us have taken thattitle as being a Christian, but
we've walked so far away fromyou, lord God, and we've walked
(29:32):
so far away from our desire ofyou, lord God.
So, father, today we want todelight in you, we want to
commit all of our works back toyou, we want to give you honor
and praise and we want to seeyou work this week, father, let
us not be put to shame beforeour enemies.
Fight for us as only you can,in the name of Jesus.
Fight for us and send thosethat you have marked for us for
(29:55):
God.
Lord, you have established usand you have given us your high
favor.
You've given us your face thismorning and I thank you, father,
for hearing our prayer.
All of these things I askbecause of your son, jesus,
because it was sealed, becauseof his sacrifice.
I thank you, holy Spirit, forreminding us of your power.
Everything that we need is inyou, and so we're asking you to
(30:19):
pour out yourself among us today, lord God, and wake us up,
those who have fallen asleep.
Lord God, bless us this day,lord God.
Thank you, father, for all thatyou have done.
Thank you for this amazing week.
Lord God, thank you, father, forall that you have done.
Thank you for this amazing week.
Lord God, thank you forblessing on blessing seven times
seven.
Lord God, thank you for openingdoors that we had never
imagined.
Thank you for the meetings thatwe're going to have, every
(30:41):
single one of them, lord God,and give us wisdom as we go into
these meetings and theseconversations.
Oh, I thank you, lord God, thatthis is a week that we will see
your greatness, lord God, andeven though you might have let
go of our hand and taken off thetraining wheel, because it is
time for us to move up, to stepinto this grace and to step into
(31:01):
the work that you've called usto do, that we know that you
haven't left us a bit.
You are still with us.
You're to the right and to theleft, you've even gone ahead of
us.
Oh God, you're still behind us,you're still with us, that
there's nothing we could do ornowhere we could go, where you
have left us alone.
We love you, holy Spirit.
Thank you for your grace, thankyou for your love, Thank you
(31:24):
for everything that you havedone.
I thank you for the angels thatyou've put around us, those who
have been sent to fight for usand our children, and our
spouses and our partners, thosewho are marking our homes as we
speak.
Each of us are homes, a portalopen to heaven.
Come and go as you please.
I thank you, lord Jesus, thatyou'll deliver unto us and
(31:45):
minister each of us what we needfor this moment.
Thank you, lord, for your grace.
Amen, amen, amen, amen.
All right, y'all, we gostraight into declaration
invitation, thanksgiving, andthen we wrap it for the morning.
Amen.
I declare this day that noweapon formed against me can
prosper because I am therighteousness of God.
(32:06):
Favor surrounds me as a shield,divine protection surrounds me
as a shield.
I am therefore in the rightplace at the right time.
I cannot be defeated ordestroyed and, in fact, every
tongue that accuses me and everytongue that attacks me, I
condemn with my words.
That's why you gotta be carefulwhat you say, father, thank you
(32:28):
.
This is my heritage, this is myright as a child of God.
I am made in his image, madewith his dominion and authority
living in me, coming forth outof my spirit.
Through my words, I declaretoday that Satan has no power
over my life, that every weaponhe has has been defeated, that
(32:48):
fear is cast out, that lovemakes my faith work and
therefore I cannot fail.
God's word cannot fail andthat's what I made.
His word.
I made in his image, after hislikeness, with the power of you,
the Holy Spirit, and theauthority of your words.
Therefore, by the blood ofJesus, I dwell in the secret
(33:11):
place of the Most High.
I abide under the shadow of theAlmighty.
I say of the Lord.
Lord, you are my refuge and myfortress, my God, and you I will
trust.
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,amen, amen.
And just a point, if you agreewith me, just say amen at the
end of this, whether you want tobe born again, if you just want
(33:33):
to reaffirm your relationshipthis week with our Lord and
Savior, jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus, I believe you arethe Son of God that you died on
the cross to rescue me, all ofus, from sin and death and to
restore all of us to the Father.
And we choose to turn now fromour sins, our self-centeredness
and every part of our lives thatdoes not please you.
(33:56):
We're choosing you and we'regiving ourselves over to you.
We receive your forgiveness andask you to take your rightful
place in our lives as our Saviorand as our Lord, reign in our
hearts and fill us with yourlove and your life and your
light and restore us, jesus.
Thank you, father.
(34:17):
In Jesus' name I pray.
If you agree, you just say amen, amen, amen.
So y'all, we're just gonna takea few minutes just to thank God
for all it says.
Give thanks in allcircumstances, because this is
the will of God in Christ Jesusfor you.
And yes, it is hard to givethanks when you're in the middle
(34:37):
of a circumstance that's maybenot the circumstance you hope
for, right.
Death isn't something that wehope for.
Debt D-E-B-T isn't somethingthat we hope for.
You know, health issues isn'tsomething that we hope for.
Working with crazy people onthe job isn't something that we
hope for.
Having unrest in your home orunrest in your finances being
(34:58):
broke isn't something that wehope for, right?
None of these things.
Your car falling apart?
None of these things right.
These are things that we hopefor.
And yet when the scripture says,give thanks, we're thanking him
.
It's not just thanking himblindly, right?
It's not Pollyanna Jesus, wherewe just say thank you and we
look away when everything'sfalling apart.
We're thanking him because weknow that he has a way out for
(35:21):
us.
We're thanking him because weknow that he's still a God that
provides that you might be broketoday, but there's a check
coming tomorrow.
That you might not have a jobtoday, but there's an offer
coming tomorrow.
That you might have poor healthissues today, but there's
healing coming tomorrow.
That even in death, when he'sremoved people from our lives
and called us home, we're tocelebrate the lives that we had
(35:42):
with those folks and move on.
Y'all Amen, even with ourchildren, whether they're adult
or young.
That if they're not listeningto you right now, it doesn't
mean you start becomingjudgmental and mean and all the
things right, things right.
No, we still thank god becausehe gave us those children right.
He gave us those blessings.
If you're, if you're on a joband and things are kind of out
(36:05):
of whack and you don't knowwhat's going on and people are
fighting for all the things arehappening right now, but we're
still thanking him for theopportunity to show up and be a
witness on that job.
We don't have to be a part ofthe chaos.
We are peace peacemakers right.
So we give thanks in everysingle circumstances.
It's the will of God in Christ,because that puts in our heart.
(36:25):
We can be grateful.
We can look forward to the goodthings that's coming.
You know better and better iscoming for me.
I don't know about you.
All things are working togetherfor my good.
I don't know about you.
I'm just telling you what's inthe scripture, right.
That's why you got to do morethan just read the word.
You got to live it, you got tobelieve it, you got to stand on
it.
So we give you thanks in everycircumstance.
(36:46):
Lord, god, that's happeningunder the sign of my breath, for
every person representedeverything that's happening in
their lives.
Though we may not understandyour timing, though we may not
understand what's happening, wedo believe that you're the
creator of all of everything andthat you are still in control.
No matter what it looks like,it might look like the enemy's
(37:08):
winning, but you have mastermind, a way out.
You have mastermind, victorythat you have removed people.
Right now, and though we sufferand mourn and we are
heartbroken, we can still giveyou thanks for the time that you
gave us with them.
We bless your holy name and wewill not curse your decisions.
Lord God, we do not understandwhat you're doing in every
(37:32):
single area of our lives, but weknow that that will be done and
we give you thanks because foras long as we have breath and as
long as we desire and delightin you that you'll continue to
pour out your favor on us.
We don't know how long we have,lord God, but for the time that
we have on this plane, on thisplanet, I pray that every person
(37:56):
who is a believer that theywill render themselves up as
vessels where you can live withus, that we will be the light,
that when we go out, the more welive, the more we witness.
We witness to others throughthe way we live, the way we
speak, the way we show up, theplaces we go, the way that we
(38:17):
eat, all of those things.
That is a witness of whose weare.
So it's not just about showingup on Sunday, it's not just
about being a pastor.
It's nothing to do with that.
It's how we are living out thiswalk, father, for those who are
God.
We thank you for that.
We thank you for wisdom thatyou're ushering into us, even
(38:39):
wisdom to our children, some ofour situations.
Our children are wiser than theadults.
We thank you for the wisdom.
We thank you, lord God, forblessing our children that they
are wise, they are smart,they're intelligent, that they
know how to work throughsituations.
And for those who are stilllearning, lord God, I thank you
that you're going to continue.
They are smart, they'reintelligent, that they know how
(39:01):
to work through situations.
And for those who are stilllearning, lord God, I thank you
that you're going to continue togive them wisdom, that you have
never left them, you haven'tforsaken them.
Our children are still theapple of your eye.
They are your beings.
You have created them, lord God.
So I thank you for our children,I thank you for our friends.
I thank you for our children.
I thank you for our friends, Ithank you for our spouses, I
thank you for our colleagues.
(39:21):
I thank you for each and everyperson that you've put along our
path, those some who were sent,you know, even out of their own
hate, to motivate us to keepmoving forward right.
We thank you, lord God, for thedoors that you have closed
because they would havedestroyed us.
I thank you for the open doorsthis week and the tremendous
amount of wisdom and downloadsthat we're going to get as we
(39:44):
are seating, as we're seatedwith you in our prayer closets
or in our cars or wherever weare, that we'll be consumed with
our desire for you and that youwill show up Holy Spirit and
speak to us in a different waythat this week.
Lord God, when we finish thisweek, we'll look back on this
one as a mark like look at whatGod has done.
(40:05):
This is a week where we'llwitness miracle after miracle
and encounter after encounterthat heaven will be busy this
week.
I thank you, god, that you willstep into our homes, that you'll
bless our homes, our doors, ourwindows and every corner,
father.
I thank you that, god, that youwill step into our homes, that
you'll bless our homes, ourdoors, our windows and every
corner.
Father, I thank you that ourhomes are portals so that you
can come and go as you see fit,ministering onto each and every
(40:27):
one of us.
Thank you for choosing us thismorning and speaking to us this
morning.
Thank you for blessing us.
Thank you for watching over us.
Thank you for watching over us.
Thank you for taking us safelyto and from our destinations,
whether we're going by cars orbuses, or trains or airplanes.
As we travel, lord God thatyou'll take us safely back home
or you'll take us to whereverwe're going.
(40:48):
Lord God, I thank you for thosewho've been able to spend time
with family this weekend,whether it was on a good term or
because of a loss.
But I ask, lord God, thatyou'll continue to heal and I
ask, lord God, that you'll useevery single situation as a way
to heal and bring us together.
Father, I thank you that youhave blessed us to grow this
little prayer ministry.
(41:09):
Lord God, that you continue touse, come Out of the Wilderness
to spark and start ministrieseverywhere.
Lord God, that the more peopletap in, the more they come to
realize that we're just afueling station and as they go
off to do great and amazing andwonderful things, that you get

(41:32):
Thank you, god, for what youhave sparked and started in us.
Bless us today, lord God.
Thank you, father, amen, amen,amen, all right y'all.
Benediction, my favorite I thinkthis might be my favorite
Numbers 6, 24 to 26.
Obviously, the A Shelley Eansbyversion.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make his face to shineupon you.
(41:54):
Shine on me, lord, and begracious to you.
The Lord lift up hiscountenance upon you and give
you what Give you peace.
Amen.
Thank you Lord, thank you Lord,thank you Lord.
I'm going to stop sharing.
Good morning y'all.
I'm going to stop sharing andlet me hit.
Thank you, thank you.
There's a war going on in theatmosphere right now.
Somebody take me to that place.
I'm trying to get your mindback.
I'm trying to get your mindback.
There's a war going on.
(02:20):
Oh my God.
Thank you, amen, amen.
(03:46):
I think I'm gonna start just acouple minutes early because
there's no song.
I have that last two minutes,so I'm gonna go ahead and just
say good morning y'all.
Good morning to those, or goodafternoon or good evening to
those who are gonna watch, um,us on replay, um, so shout out
to those who watch us onfacebook, good morning to those
who are going to pick us up onum youtube and just wherever you
(04:10):
are.
I'm so grateful that we havey'all we've come into.
Is it the last week of july?
Hold on, let me look at mycalendar real quick.
Oh, it's almost the last weekof july.
I'm counting down through julyand July and I'm excited about
what this week has to offer.
So this one is going to feellike a ripcord short one,
because I want to jump rightinto scripture and I want to say
(04:36):
a couple of things before we dothis y'all, because I feel like
this past weekend and I've hadlike very little sleep last
night, but this past weekend Iwas in such a mood.
I just felt like um, like whereare you, holy spirit?
I don't know if, I don't knowif you go through these phases
(04:58):
where you just feel like there'sa, there's distance and I, I am
so, um, I'm very, I'm hyperaware.
Probably this is not part,probably not a good thing, but
I'm hyper aware of his presencewhen he's like fully activated
in me.
And then I'm also hyper awarewhen, um, when he's not as like
(05:22):
a thousand percent you know whatI'm saying Like I, I.
There's some times where I feellike, um, this is just my, this
is just my, uh, this is just myjourney.
Okay, there's some times when Ijust feel like it's me and the
Lord Jesus and the Holy spiritis like holding my hand, like a
father or like an older brother,if you will, don't get offended
(05:46):
, all right, but he's holding myhand and I'm a little kid, I'm
a little girl, and he's kind ofwalking me, marching me through
things, walking me throughcrowds, through situations,
through thoughts, just likeholding my hand.
And then there are times whenhe lets go of my hand, and it
doesn't mean that he's notcarrying me through something.
It's just he's let go of myhand and now it's up to me to
(06:07):
put my foot forward.
And it's scary.
I don't like it.
I don't like it at all.
And so I felt this weekend likeI'm in a weird season where
he's let go of my hand, he'sgiven me all of the instructions
and guidance that I need.
He's given me courage, hisstrength, his favor, even though
(06:29):
things are like fuzzy, like Idon't have the answers to
everything.
Nobody has the answers toeverything.
But I felt like he's let go ofmy hand and now he's like okay,
now you go.
And when I put my foot one infront of the other, it's doing
it firmly, believing that he'sstill like.
He's still like right here, hehasn't left me.
(06:50):
He's like right, he's on myright side, my left side.
He's even standing behind me.
The word talks about goodnessand mercy following me.
I feel that in my life, butthere are times when, just for
me, it feels like he's let go ofmy hand, and this is where we
have to rely on the word.
Sometimes the Lord puts a wordin your heart, in your spirit,
(07:13):
but you're expected to dosomething with the word.
You're expected to act on itright.
He might have given you a greatidea, he might have given you
guidance, y'all.
He might have told us what todo, what not to do, what to do,
what not to do, and then he letsgo of our hand.
And letting go of our handdoesn't mean he's let go of us.
All it means is that now wehave to do.
(07:33):
We have to do the work.
This is a journey.
This relationship we have withthis awesome lord jesus goes
both ways.
There's sometimes when he's,you know, I mean, I'm so
engulfed.
I try not to do this, I try notto like.
I call it like going up on themountain with the Lord and I
will just pull myself away fromeverything and everyone and I
(07:56):
want to just sit in his presenceand soak in everything, and I
don't want to come back, youknow.
But there are times like thiswhere the Lord is like it's like
you've been on a training wheel, like I don't listen, I don't,
I don't, I'm not, I don't knowwho experiences these, the, the,
their walk um in the same way,or or have gone through
(08:16):
something similar.
But I've been praying for thelast couple of weeks for the
Lord to tear down walls, andwe've been doing that
consistently through praise andprayer.
And I've watched him as we havetorn down emotional walls,
spiritual walls, physical walls,financial walls.
I've watched him spring upbecause we were obedient in
(08:38):
doing that.
I'm watching him spring upthings in other people, watching
other ministries blossom andbloom up things in other people,
watching other ministriesblossom and bloom, watching the
women around me grow and becomeempowered and filled with
courage.
Watch them not only speak lovebut receive it, like I'm
watching the Lord tear downwalls in other people.
And it's a scary thing.
(08:59):
Y'all we're doing new things.
We're being challenged to keepgoing the dreams that we have.
They didn't die.
Some of us just didn't botherwatering the seeds God planted
in us, or we wanted somebodyelse to do it, or we wanted the
plant to look a certain waybefore we believe in it.
Right.
And yet here's this week thatwe're entering into, where,
(09:20):
again, you might feel like he'slet go of your hand, but the
truth is he's still with us.
And so the scriptures thatwe're going to go into today,
they're going to do three things.
Three things we're going to do,right.
The first one I've got somewords bolded.
The first one is discipline.
The second one is establishedand the third one has to do with
(09:40):
our mouth and our ears.
All right, because we stillwant to speak with wisdom and
want to hear in the same waywe're taught.
So, father, before we even gofurther, I just thank you for
awakening us this morning.
For those who feel like you'vekind of let go of our hands and
we know that doesn't mean thatyou've left us we know that
there's nowhere that we could go, that we will be without you.
(10:01):
But for those of us that youhave taken off the training
wheels, lord God, and you'veshifted us, we've been asking
for promotion and expansion andwe want more and we want
blessings and we want to breakcurses and all the things, lord
God.
And yet you have been doingthat, you've been preparing us
for this amazing journey, forthis season that we're in.
So I even ask, lord God, thatas we're entering into this new
(10:24):
phase of our walk with you, aswe're building up our
relationship with you, my desireis to have more and more of you
, more encounters with you, tohear from you, Lord God, that as
we're making decisions, thatyou'll give us the wisdom to
make the right call, the rightdecision, not just for ourselves
, but our family, our children,our spouses, our partners, even
(10:46):
the folks we work with.
Lord God, we desire you morethan anything this morning and I
ask for God that you know, forthose of us who are growing and
expanding, as you're speaking toour hearts and you're giving us
, even bringing the joy back,lord, I ask that you'll bless us
and lead us.
Father, forgive us for anythingwe have said or done, anything
(11:07):
that was impure, any thoughts,any dreams, anything, lord God,
that we've touched, anything,any doors we have opened that
were never meant to be, anyagreements we came in with
anyone.
Lord God, that you'll shut nowanything that we have caused,
any ripple effect that we havecaused because of the words that
we've used.
Lord God, that you'll shut itdown.
(11:28):
We want to start afresh andanew this morning, this Monday
morning, lord God, and as we goforth into this week, lord God,
that this week that you'll showus, in every area of our life,
what we need to do and bless usand give us your favor, as you
always do.
Amen, amen.
Three scriptures, very, verysimple.
The first one is arounddiscipline, and discipline.
(11:50):
Remember is our word for thisyear and if you have been
consistent.
If you've been consistent,there should have been some
changes in your life by now.
Right here, we are almost atthe end of July, so there should
have been some changes in yourlife for the better.
Hebrews 12, 11 says for themoment, all discipline seems
(12:11):
painful rather than pleasant,but later, y'all, it yields the
peaceful fruit of righteousnessto those who have been trained
by it.
So discipline, there's a measureof training that comes with it.
Right, we can't just be like,well, I'm going to be
disciplined in exercise.
Well, there's a, there's a okay, that's, that's great.
But there's something that youhave to do.
(12:33):
There's a training involved.
And how do we know this?
Well, we know that when we saywe want to be disciplined in our
exercise, a lot of us will goto.
Maybe you'll go to a final oldvideo, maybe you'll join a gym,
maybe you'll, you know, but youwould have.
Maybe you talk to your friendswho have already done it, people
who could give you advice onhow to build up a training that
(12:53):
works for you.
So there's some level oftraining or guidance that comes
with that.
And it might seem painful whenyou're working out or you're
cutting off the you know, thesweet and the snacks and all the
things that you know you needto do it in order to have that
level of discipline.
But but we know that it's goingto give you the peaceful fruit.
Right, there is a fruit thatcomes with it at the end of this
(13:16):
training, right, so it is whenwe're having discipline in our
uh, in a walk with the lord, orthe way that we discipline, we
know again, we discipline ourchildren and we know that's
going to yield a peaceful fruit.
We know that if we disciplinethe way that we speak, where we
go, who we have friendships with, all the things that we have
discipline and how much time wespend on social media.
(13:39):
I was thinking about thisyesterday that I've had to just
kind of cut back even on mysocial media intake, because on
social media, especially onTikTok and Facebook facebook
people give you two categoriesof content.
You either get the best ofthings or you get the absolute
worst of things.
It's very rare that you getsomething that's in the middle.
(14:00):
People are either celebratingor they're denigrating, because
that gets views right, and inthe middle they sell you stuff
right.
So if you are on social mediaand you're becoming consumed by
it where all you're seeing arethings that are fed to you based
on your own thoughts, your owndesires.
Right, you start to believeeverything.
(14:20):
If you're on social media andyou over consume, you really
start to believe one that bodyoil is going to save your life,
right?
Or everybody goes to abu dhabi.
You might believe thateverybody's going on vacation to
europe.
Like.
You're gonna believe the bestof what people show you, the
best of best, right, um?
Or the worst of worst.
(14:42):
You're gonna start seeing allthese fights and it starts to
feed your mind.
You start really thinking thatthe only people that fight are
black people, right, becausethat's what's on social media
and it will keep getting you.
You'll start to your mind, willstart to be trained, your
thoughts will start to go acertain way, your attitude
changes.
So you have to have a measureof discipline.
(15:05):
So, so, um, again, and it mightbe painful for you to come off
that thing, right, but again,peaceful fruit, peaceful fruit,
and you've got to be trained byit.
So the first prayer point isdiscipline.
The second one I'm going to dolike one whole prayer and y'all
pray along whatever the Lord isshowing you and including people
he puts.
Don't wait for me to pray forsomeone.
(15:26):
You have that you can do thesame.
Psalm 90, verse 17 let the favorof the lord, our god, be upon
us and establish the work of ourhands.
It says, yes, establish thework of his hands.
What does it mean?
When my hands established onsomething, nothing is going to
move it right.
When god's favor is upon me, Idon't care, care what scheme, I
(15:50):
don't care how, I don't care whosaid what.
I don't care about none of that.
It is established.
The Lord's work is established.
I don't care about competition,I don't care what I'm saying,
none of that stuff matters.
So when we know that the workof our hands is established, we
don't have to worry about whatso-and-so said and what
so-and-so is trying to do, andwe don't care about any of that
(16:12):
because it's established.
We have the favor of the Lordand it's upon us, like it's on
us y'all, and his favorestablishes the work of our
hands.
It's his favor, amen.
And Isaiah 50, verse 4,.
Now it says the Lord has givenme what?
The tongue of those who aretaught, the tongue of those who
are taught, and by him.
(16:33):
We want him to teach us.
But also, the Lord will sendyou mentors or friends or
coaches or folks who have wisdomright.
So I want to have the tongue ofthose who are taught, so that
when I speak, my words are wise,right.
It says that I may know how tosustain with a word him who is
weary.
(16:54):
So it's not just speaking right, it's not just saying stuff,
it's how do I sustain my family,my daughter, my husband, my
friends, how do I sustain peoplewho are weary?
Again, it's one thing to knowscripture.
I say this all the time it'sone thing to know scripture.
It's one thing to be baptized,it's one thing to call yourself
(17:15):
a Christian.
But if the life you're living,y'all, when you close, when you
close your Bible, or when youcome out of your church and
you're in your parking lot,that's when the life actually
begins right, it's literally,it's how we live out this life.
And so if you're seeking God'sdeep mysteries and you wanna
know about heaven and the secondheaven, you wanna know about
(17:38):
angels, you wanna know all thosethings, and you're asking for
wisdom so that, so again, thetongue of those who are taught.
Are you doing it so that youcan sustain those who are weary?
Are you doing it so that youcan sustain those who are weary.
Are you doing it so that youcan puff yourself up?
Morning by morning, he awakens.
He awakens my ear to hear.
Right, he has to wake up my earto hear, as those who are
(17:59):
taught.
So, every single day.
We're asking him this week Lord, awaken my ear to hear.
You Give me wisdom.
Right, I want the tongue ofthose who are taught.
Lord, give me that.
Amen.
Discipline establishing us thetongue of those who are taught
and awakening our ears to hear.
Those are the four points thatwe're going to pray over this
(18:21):
morning and, if you're inagreement, you can pray along
with me.
If there's something else theLord has put on your heart, you
go ahead and do that.
So, heavenly Father, we thankyou for your holy presence.
I thank you, holy Spirit, forjust reminding us of who you are
and the power that you have,the amazing power that you have.
That's what we're tapping intothis morning.
(18:43):
It's not that we're asking forpower for ourselves.
What we're asking for is anacknowledgement of your presence
in our hearts and our lives,and we thank you, lord Jesus,
for all that you have alreadydone.
You've already broken downevery single spiritual wall
there is, you've already foughtevery battle and every single
victory, as the song says, hasbeen won.
So I thank you, lord God, thatyou have already gone ahead into
(19:06):
this week and you have alreadydeclared victory over each and
every one of us.
So now, as we approach yourholy throne, we ask for God
first, that you will forgive usfor our sins, and we repent for
every thought and deed, everyaction, anything that we would
say.
Even after we leave this prayerthis morning, lord God, as we
go into the day, we know that weare sinners or God.
(19:26):
So even as we leave this prayer, lord god, even this afternoon,
I ask that you'll forgive usfor what is to come, what we
will do, and we thank you, lordgod, that you're such a grateful
father, gracious father.
We thank you, we're gratefulfor you, we're grateful for you,
we thank you, lord.
So, lord, we first, we thankyou for discipline.
We thank you, lord god, thatthat this keeps us on track so
(19:48):
that we can accomplish the greatthings that you have marked out
for each and every one of us.
Father, the road has been sorocky for so many, lord God, but
, lord, I ask that you willreframe the situation today.
Lord God, show us how to applydiscipline in everything that we
say or do, any place that we go, any person that we speak to.

How do we use your wisdom tomake wise decision?
Your wisdom, lord, we want totap into you, lord God.
We want to build ourselves up,lord God, so that we can
accomplish the very task thatyou've set us out to do, but we
need discipline.
We need discipline so that wecan continue to have a personal,
one-on-one relationship withyou, lord God, not just waiting
(20:31):
until something is wrong, but,lord, coming to you every single
day, every moment of the day,with every breath that we take.
Lord God, we glorify you and wehonor you as our creator and we
thank you, father God, forgiving us guidance.
I thank you, lord God, for thedoors that you have closed and
the ones that you have opened.

the ones that you have opened.
Father, thank you for giving uswisdom and the keys, lord God,
(20:52):
so that we know where to go, whoto speak to.
Today, I call down favor onevery single one of us, lord God
, in every conversation, everymeeting, in every encounter,
that your supernatural favorwill be upon us, lord, god, lord
God, we thank you that you willspeak to each of us and
establish the hands, the work ofour hands, everything that we

that is promotion, whetherthat's acceleration, whatever it
is that we're hoping to do,everything that we touch is
established because of yourfavor upon us that you will
establish our works, that no onecan steal our ideas and no one
(21:35):
can steal our identities.
No one can take us off thispath, no one, not even ourselves
.
And when the thoughts of doubtor God or anything like that,
any words or anything that wasplanted by someone before, when
it shows up to try to take usoff track, it will be destroyed.
In the name of Jesus, lord, weask for this.
We thank you, lord, god, we arecarrying your banner when

invitation, thanksgiving, andthen we wrap it for the morning.
Amen.
I declare this day that noweapon formed against me can
prosper because I am therighteousness of God.
(32:06):
Favor surrounds me as a shield,divine protection surrounds me
as a shield.
I am therefore in the rightplace at the right time.
I cannot be defeated ordestroyed and, in fact, every
tongue that accuses me and everytongue that attacks me, I
condemn with my words.
That's why you gotta be carefulwhat you say, father, thank you
(32:28):
.
This is my heritage, this is myright as a child of God.
I am made in his image, madewith his dominion and authority
living in me, coming forth outof my spirit.
Through my words, I declaretoday that Satan has no power
over my life, that every weaponhe has has been defeated, that
(32:48):
fear is cast out, that lovemakes my faith work and
therefore I cannot fail.
God's word cannot fail andthat's what I made.
His word.
I made in his image, after hislikeness, with the power of you,
the Holy Spirit, and theauthority of your words.
Therefore, by the blood ofJesus, I dwell in the secret
(33:11):
place of the Most High.
I abide under the shadow of theAlmighty.
I say of the Lord.
Lord, you are my refuge and myfortress, my God, and you I will
trust.
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,amen, amen.
And just a point, if you agreewith me, just say amen at the
end of this, whether you want tobe born again, if you just want
(33:33):
to reaffirm your relationshipthis week with our Lord and
Savior, jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus, I believe you arethe Son of God that you died on
the cross to rescue me, all ofus, from sin and death and to
restore all of us to the Father.
And we choose to turn now fromour sins, our self-centeredness
and every part of our lives thatdoes not please you.
(33:56):
We're choosing you and we'regiving ourselves over to you.
We receive your forgiveness andask you to take your rightful
place in our lives as our Saviorand as our Lord, reign in our
hearts and fill us with yourlove and your life and your
light and restore us, jesus.
Thank you, father.
(34:17):
In Jesus' name I pray.
If you agree, you just say amen, amen, amen.
So y'all, we're just gonna takea few minutes just to thank God
for all it says.
Give thanks in allcircumstances, because this is
the will of God in Christ Jesusfor you.
And yes, it is hard to givethanks when you're in the middle
(34:37):
of a circumstance that's maybenot the circumstance you hope
for, right.
Death isn't something that wehope for.
Debt D-E-B-T isn't somethingthat we hope for.
You know, health issues isn'tsomething that we hope for.
Working with crazy people onthe job isn't something that we
hope for.
Having unrest in your home orunrest in your finances being
(34:58):
broke isn't something that wehope for, right?
None of these things.
Your car falling apart?
None of these things right.
These are things that we hopefor.
And yet when the scripture says,give thanks, we're thanking him
.
It's not just thanking himblindly, right?
It's not Pollyanna Jesus, wherewe just say thank you and we
look away when everything'sfalling apart.
We're thanking him because weknow that he has a way out for
(35:21):
us.
We're thanking him because weknow that he's still a God that
provides that you might be broketoday, but there's a check
coming tomorrow.
That you might not have a jobtoday, but there's an offer
coming tomorrow.
That you might have poor healthissues today, but there's
healing coming tomorrow.
That even in death, when he'sremoved people from our lives
and called us home, we're tocelebrate the lives that we had
(35:42):
with those folks and move on.
Y'all Amen, even with ourchildren, whether they're adult
or young.
That if they're not listeningto you right now, it doesn't
mean you start becomingjudgmental and mean and all the
things right, things right.
No, we still thank god becausehe gave us those children right.
He gave us those blessings.
If you're, if you're on a joband and things are kind of out
(36:05):
of whack and you don't knowwhat's going on and people are
fighting for all the things arehappening right now, but we're
still thanking him for theopportunity to show up and be a
witness on that job.
We don't have to be a part ofthe chaos.
We are peace peacemakers right.
So we give thanks in everysingle circumstances.
It's the will of God in Christ,because that puts in our heart.
(36:25):
We can be grateful.
We can look forward to the goodthings that's coming.
You know better and better iscoming for me.
I don't know about you.
All things are working togetherfor my good.
I don't know about you.
I'm just telling you what's inthe scripture, right.
That's why you got to do morethan just read the word.
You got to live it, you got tobelieve it, you got to stand on
it.
So we give you thanks in everycircumstance.
(36:46):
Lord, god, that's happeningunder the sign of my breath, for
every person representedeverything that's happening in
their lives.
Though we may not understandyour timing, though we may not
understand what's happening, wedo believe that you're the
creator of all of everything andthat you are still in control.
No matter what it looks like,it might look like the enemy's
(37:08):
winning, but you have mastermind, a way out.
You have mastermind, victorythat you have removed people.
Right now, and though we sufferand mourn and we are
heartbroken, we can still giveyou thanks for the time that you
gave us with them.
We bless your holy name and wewill not curse your decisions.
Lord God, we do not understandwhat you're doing in every
(37:32):
single area of our lives, but weknow that that will be done and
we give you thanks because foras long as we have breath and as
long as we desire and delightin you that you'll continue to
pour out your favor on us.
We don't know how long we have,lord God, but for the time that
we have on this plane, on thisplanet, I pray that every person
(37:56):
who is a believer that theywill render themselves up as
vessels where you can live withus, that we will be the light,
that when we go out, the more welive, the more we witness.
We witness to others throughthe way we live, the way we
speak, the way we show up, theplaces we go, the way that we
(38:17):
eat, all of those things.
That is a witness of whose weare.
So it's not just about showingup on Sunday, it's not just
about being a pastor.
It's nothing to do with that.
It's how we are living out thiswalk, father, for those who are
God.
We thank you for that.
We thank you for wisdom thatyou're ushering into us, even
(38:39):
wisdom to our children, some ofour situations.
Our children are wiser than theadults.
We thank you for the wisdom.
We thank you, lord God, forblessing our children that they
are wise, they are smart,they're intelligent, that they
know how to work throughsituations.
And for those who are stilllearning, lord God, I thank you
that you're going to continue.
They are smart, they'reintelligent, that they know how
(39:01):
to work through situations.
And for those who are stilllearning, lord God, I thank you
that you're going to continue togive them wisdom, that you have
never left them, you haven'tforsaken them.
Our children are still theapple of your eye.
They are your beings.
You have created them, lord God.
So I thank you for our children,I thank you for our friends.
I thank you for our children.
I thank you for our friends, Ithank you for our spouses, I
thank you for our colleagues.
(39:21):
I thank you for each and everyperson that you've put along our
path, those some who were sent,you know, even out of their own
hate, to motivate us to keepmoving forward right.
We thank you, lord God, for thedoors that you have closed
because they would havedestroyed us.
I thank you for the open doorsthis week and the tremendous
amount of wisdom and downloadsthat we're going to get as we
(39:44):
are seating, as we're seatedwith you in our prayer closets
or in our cars or wherever weare, that we'll be consumed with
our desire for you and that youwill show up Holy Spirit and
speak to us in a different waythat this week.
Lord God, when we finish thisweek, we'll look back on this
one as a mark like look at whatGod has done.
(40:05):
This is a week where we'llwitness miracle after miracle

Lord God, I thank you for thosewho've been able to spend time
with family this weekend,whether it was on a good term or
