Speaker 1 (00:00):
I feel like it's about time for the enemy to
start understanding that that enmity is a two way street,
that you're not just gonna keep attacking me, and you're
not just gonna keep depressing me, and you're not just
gonna keep oppressing me. That I don't care how I
have to do it, or who I must become, or
(00:21):
what I have to go through to make it to
the other side.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
There's gonna come a point in.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Time where you are opposing me, not because of what
I went through, but because of what is still yet
to come out of me. So my texts begins to say,
so he he this, he is Jesus and Simeon. So
Jesus is just born to the Virgin Mary, and she
(00:49):
is following the customs and rituals of that time, and
she is presenting him in Jerusalem. They make it to Jerusalem,
and they are presenting him to Simeon. And so he
that he is Simeon came by the spirit into the temple,
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to
do for him according to the custom of the law,
(01:11):
he took him up in his arms and blessed God
and said, Lord, now you are letting your servant depart
in peace according to your word. For my eyes have
seen your salvation which you have prepared before me, for
which you have prepared before the face of all people,
a light to bring revelation to the gentiles and the
(01:33):
glory of your people Israel. And Joseph and his mother
marveled at those things which were spoken of him. Then
Simeon blessed them and said to marry his mother. Behold,
this child is destined for the fall and rising of
many in Israel, and for a sign which will be
spoken against Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul,
(01:59):
also that the thoughts of many hearts.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
May be revealed.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
God, I want to thank you for opportunities like this,
opportunities to be in your presence and amongst your people,
and so Father, you and I have spent time communicating
and me receiving your perspective on the women in this room.
My prayer God is that you would flow through me,
that there would be nothing that stands in your way,
(02:27):
no nerves, no fear, no anxiety, just your strength, your power,
your rich revelation about women in this season and generation.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That it would flow, and that it would break.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Chains in this room, that it would give me identity
in this room, that it would give us power like
never before. Lord, let your glory fall as only it
can do. That our lives may be radically changed.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
In Jesus' name. Amen had to pray to get the
jitters off. So I am.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Part of the reason why this is gonna be a
little awkward is because of all of my father's children,
I was the least likely to be in ministry, and
because I thought the Bible was boring, which List already
told me I was boring.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It wasn't the Bible. It means fine.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But part of my mission in life is to make
it less boring for people, and so I like to
share ministry in a way that is relatable. Part of
what I think God wants me to do I'm just
waiting for confirmation is to create any bonx version of
the Bible. I don't have a release yet, but I
(03:40):
feel like it's going to happen before it's all said
and done. In this Ebonics version of the Bible, I
would just like jump right into the story, you know,
so like Genesis would just begin with Eve just going
in telling us how she messed it all.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Up for everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
But it's Ebonic, so she's got to say it in
a way that we can understand.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She would be like in.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
The West Garden of Eden. I was born, put out
and raised by the Euphrates is where I spend most
of my days, chilling out, maxid and relaxing, all cool
to creep. A little serpent came up and messed up
my groove. S Ebonics is going to be amazing. It's
going to take off. You guys should pre order it
on Amazon right now, sell like hotcakes. The only thing
(04:31):
that I haven't quite figured out for my Ebonics version
of Eve's story in the Bible is how I'm going
to explain the beef that took place between her and
the serpent, Because in the Ebonics version, I want to
say that her and the serpent had beef.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You know, for those of you unfamiliar.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
With beef, actually not talking about filet. I am talking
about a word that we use in some and culture
that explains when you have a disagreement of sorts with someone. Yeah,
I would say that they had beef, but I love
the way the King James version puts it. It says
(05:11):
that they have enmity Enmity is such incredible word. I
looked up the definition because I wanted to share it
with you. Enmity means the state or feeling of being
actively opposed or hostile to someone or something. In Genesis
(05:32):
three and fifteen, God says to the serpent, I'm gonna
put enmity between you and the woman, and that her
seed will bruise your head, but your seed will bruise her.
Heal that word enmity. I love that word enmity. I'm
gonna read it one more time. It says the state
or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone
(05:57):
or something. And I don't know about you, but there
are moments from me when I feel that enmity. I
feel that opposition from the enemy. I feel that hostility
from the enemy. It's like I take two steps forward
and sometimes he takes me ten steps backwards. It feels
like every time I start pursuing that vision and that
(06:20):
identity that God has for me, that he sends someone
who reminds me of who I used to be, or
the shame from who I was creeps up behind me.
I feel that hostility every time I start pressing towards
the mark, and so that enmity is such a powerful
word that I don't think that I could replace it
with anything else. But what I love is that God
(06:42):
didn't just say that I'm going to put the enmity
against the woman from the serpent.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
He says that this enmity is going to be a
two way street.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That the woman is not just going to feel opposed
by the serpent, but that the woman is going to
represent opposition for the serpent as well. Somebody understands that
what I'm saying is that when a woman steps into
her purpose, and when a woman steps into who she
(07:16):
is in God, that the enemy may have some opposition,
but she is opposition for the enemy too. That means
that when you register for propel, and you made arrangements
for the kids, and you decided that you were going
to be in here by any means necessary, I'm gonna
stand in line at seven am, not because I don't
(07:37):
have anything else to do, but because I am opposition
for the enemy, and there's a word waiting somewhere with
my name on it. I am the enemy's opposition. I
know it doesn't look like it because of all I
went through, but I'm just dusting off the dirt from
what I went through so that I can become the
enemy's opposition. I'm not in here to be cute. I'm
(07:57):
not in here to play games. I'm in here because
I'm opposition against the enemy. He's claimed too many of
my women. He's claimed my mother, he claimed my sister.
But he can't have me. I'm my position. I'm your
worst night mayor. I'm gonna need a little more heat
in the microphone because I need somebody to know that
(08:18):
they are the enemy's worst nightmare.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
When you woke up this morning and.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You dressed yourself to come into this room, that demon
started trembling because I didn't want you to get a
revelation about who you are. But I came to set
somebody free in this place. You are his greatest threat.
A woman who knows who she is and God is
(08:43):
the enemy's greatest threat.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I know that I went through some things that may
have bruised my heel, but you still better be afraid
of me.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
It wouldn't have looked like it when I was thirteen
years old and pregnant, but I was the enemy's greatest threat.
It wouldn't have looked like it when you were going
through divorce, but you were the enemy's greatest threat. It
wouldn't have looked like it when you were struggling with
that addiction, but you were the enemy's greatest threat.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You are.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
His opposition. And that is why there will always be
war over what a woman can put in the earth.
Because a woman knows how to take a seed and
turn it into a person. She knows how to take
a seed and turn it into a nonprofit. She knows
(09:41):
how to take a seed and turn it into a business.
It wouldn't even make sense if you saw the seed,
if you saw what some of these women had gone through,
if you would have seen the seed that started Christine Kane,
you would have never believed that it would turn into propel.
But she's a woman who recognized that I am the
enemy's greatest threat.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
About you, but I feel like it's about time for
the enemy to start understanding that that enmity is a
two way street. That you're not just gonna keep attacking me,
and you're not just gonna keep depressing me, and you're
not just gonna keep oppressing me. That I don't care
(10:22):
how I have to do it. Or who I must become,
or what I have to go through to make it
to the other side. There's gonna come a point in
time where you are opposing me, not because of what
I went through, but because of what is still yet
to come out of me, still something that must come
(10:43):
out of you. And I asked myself, I said, God,
why is it that the enmity couldn't be between the
serpent and the man? Why did it have to be
the woman? This notion that we are the weaker vessel,
then why not put the stronger vessel up for the fight?
(11:05):
But when I study my word and I look at
the character of God, and I believe wholeheartedly that he
makes no mistakes, and means that when he put enmity
between the woman and the serpent, the woman and the enemy,
that it wasn't just a fair fight, that it was
(11:26):
a fixed fight. That he didn't put us into this
position because he thought that a loss was even possible.
That he put us in the position because he knew
the wind would be guaranteed. That means that not only
is it fair, which means that if you roll up
(11:46):
your sleeves and you'd be who God has called you
to be, and you start trusting what he says about
who you are and what you can do in the earth,
that the fight is going to turn in your favor.
I hear God telling somebody you're the woman for the job.
I know what the doctor said about the cancer, but
I hear God saying you're the woman for the job.
That I put you in a fight that was already fixed,
that I put you in a fight that you were
(12:08):
bound to win. I know the child is acting crazy,
I know they're cutting up on the job, but you
are the woman for the job. If you don't hear
anything else I say in this place, I want you
to know that there is nothing that is happening in
your life that is designed to take you out. That
thing is designed to birth the best version of you.
My girl, my sister, you are the woman for the job.
(12:31):
When the enemy tried to make me feel nervous, I
told the enemy, you can't have my mind today because
I'm the woman for the job. I'm gonna do flat
footed what God has called me to do, because I'm
the woman. I'm the woman for the job. I'm the
woman for the job. Somebody's gotta start prophesying over that.
Situation that's trying to tell you you're not gonna make it.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Honey.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I'm the woman for the job. I'm gonna raise that
child anyway. I'm gonna start that business anyway. I don't
care what the bank said. I don't need a bank.
My God shall provide all of my needs. I'm the
woman for the job, baby, I'm the only one who
can do what I do the way that I do it.
(13:13):
And you, you're the woman for the job.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You're the woman for the job.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I want to rebuke depression trying to make you believe
that you're not the woman for the job. I want
to rebuke suicide, trying to make you believe that we
would be better without you. Ill bind you, Satan. You
have no power here. And when you attack my sister,
you attack me. I'm the woman for the job. I
know how to warfare for the woman who can't war
for herself.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I'm the woman for the job.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
So when we talk about positioning and the way that
life has the tendency of putting us in positions that
we don't always feel qualified for, I can't help but
think about Mary and how God saw that she was
the woman for the job even though Mary initially didn't
(14:09):
believe that she was the woman for the job. Man,
I can relate to that, someone says, Pastor, I want
to believe that I'm the woman for the job, but
if I'm honest, I don't feel qualified. I'm in position,
(14:30):
but I don't feel qualified for the position I'm in,
and the position is trying to make me believe that
I don't have what it takes to make it to
the other side. And for a moment, I want to
glean some wisdom from Mary that I hope can help
you in the position that God has placed you in,
(14:50):
because if we remember, God doesn't make mistakes, and if
he called you into that position, no matter how overwhelming
the position is, it's because he believe that you are
the woman for the job. And so our task then
becomes to ask God, what is it that you know
about me that would have you place me in this position?
Because if you place me in this position, then you
(15:12):
know something about.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Me that I don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And sometimes our greatest prayer should be God, would you
open up my eyes so that I can see who
I am supposed to be in your kingdom, that I
would not compare myself to everything that came before me
or the things coming up behind me, but that I
would trust that you place me in this position because
no one else could do it like me but me.
(15:38):
Mary teaches us that the most powerful thing that any
of us can do when we have this.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Feeling is to go anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, so Mary doesn't feel qualified, but she goes anyway.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
She goes not knowing.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
How she's supposed to take this baby and turn it
into a king.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
When the Angel of the.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Lord appears to Mary, he tells Mary everything that that
child is going to be, but she doesn't receive the
promise in the form that God said that it was
going to end up in. God help me to say it.
There are moments when we receive something from God that
doesn't look like where it's going to end. Oh, I
(16:26):
feel like that's a word for somebody that you're looking
at the baby wondering how the baby's going to become king.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
You're looking at the.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Small thing trying to figure out how is that ever
going to become the big thing. God, you told me
that I would be the one that would break the
generational curse. But right now I look like every other
generation that came before me. How am I gonna take
this small thing and turn it into a big thing. God,
you told me that you would bless my business, but
I can't even get the financing god need. God says,
(16:57):
I didn't give it to you in the form that
it's going to end up in. I gave it to
you in the form that would grow you up and
to the person who could raise it into everything that
it could be. I feel like somebody's got to get
that down in your spirit. Do not despise the days
of small beginnings. That it started off small so that
you could grow with it, because when you grow with it,
(17:20):
it grows you up. When you grow with it, it
grows you up. And so Mary teaches us the power
of going anyway. She questions her ability initially, but ultimately
she chooses to trust God's plan for her life. Mary
chose to just go anyway. Sometimes you have to just
(17:44):
go anyway. God gives you what you need as you go.
And sometimes we want all of the answers, and God,
I want to know how you're going to do it.
I'm not saying I won't go, I'm just saying, can
you tell me exactly how it's gonna happen, and God says,
I'll tell you how it's gonna happen when you start moving,
you see, because God is looking for someone who he
(18:07):
can order steps along the way. I feel like there's
someone in this room that if God gave you all
of the steps right now, that you would feel more
in control than you actually are. When you go anyway,
it is a sign to God that I don't have
to have all of the answers. I just want to
be where you tell me I am supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
God. I don't know how you're going to do it
in my marriage.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I don't know how you're gonna do it in my family,
But I am going to go anyway. And when I go,
you meet me where you tell me you were going
to meet me. When you go, God meets you.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
He's calling you to where he is.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
That's why we have to go, because God calls you
to where he is, and when we move in that direction,
it is assigned to him that we can be trusted.
Because there are moments when God orders our steps, but we.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Gotta tell take them first.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I gotta forgive, I gotta go anyway. I want to
stay stuck in this bitterness. I want to stay stuck
in this pain. But I can't stay here, so I
gotta go anyway. And Mary starts going anyway. And so
some of you are wondering, Okay, I'll go anyway.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I'll do what God told me to do. I don't
know how he's gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I don't have all of the resources that I need
in order to do it, but I want to go anyway.
And so Mary teaches us a valuable lesson. And if
you're taking notes, I want you to write this down,
because what Mary teaches us in those moments where we
have to go anyway, is that the power in going.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Starts with you using what you know.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Mary begins to just follow the customs of the Jewish people.
At that time, God gave her something that is going
to ultimately deliver Israel, but right now she doesn't know
how it's going to become a deliverer.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And so because she doesn't.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Know how she's going to get from a to Z,
she just starts working what she knows. She knows that
when I have a baby, that I need to wait
until my time of purification is over, and after that,
I need to go into Jerusalem and I need to
present the baby.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
She works what she knows while she goes.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
The most powerful thing that any of us can do
is activate what we know, because when we activate what
we know, it gives God permission to show us more
and to teach us more. Imagine had even in the garden,
and she simply activated what she knew. There are things
that we know about our lives that we haven't activated
(20:48):
yet because we don't know what's waiting on the other side.
But when you use what you know, it starts to
lead you into the direction that God says he's calling
you towards.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
That means the relationship has to end.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
That means that we have to have the forgiveness down
in our heart even though we don't believe that the
person is truly sorry. Our forgiveness is not predicated on
whether or not that person is actually sorry.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
My forgiveness is.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Predicated on the fact that I'm going anyway, that I'm
not gonna stay stuck where that pain met me. I'm
not gonna stay stuck where that disappointment met me.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm going anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
So Mary begins to go anyway, and she's using what
she knows because learning how to go anyway and using
what you know, I think is one of the most
powerful things that any of us can do. So after
she's come out of the presence, Mary begins the task
of living out what God said to God said to do,
(21:45):
and so in the process of doing this, she is
presenting this child Jesus into to Simeon. And I have
to be honest, when I read this text, I felt
like I felt like it was out of order, because
Simeon says in verse twenty nine, he identifies with Mary
(22:06):
and confirms with Mary what God already said about what
she was caring.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
She says.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
He says, Lord, now you are letting your servants apart
in peace according to your word. For my eyes have
seen your salvation, which you have prepared before the face
of all people's a light to bring revelation to the gentiles.
Mary already knew all of those things, that that is
what she was caring, and that's who the child would become.
So in many ways this is confirmation for her. But
(22:33):
then Simeon says something that seems like it is contradicting
what he just said, because he says, behold, this child
is destined for the fallen rising of many in Israel,
and for a sign which will be spoken against Yes,
a sword will pierce through your own soul.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
When the Angel of.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
The Lord came, he didn't say nothing by no swords.
Let's see bonnux version slipping out again. God, when you
gave me the promise, when you told me what I
was carrying, when you told me who I would become,
when you told me I was fearfully and wonderfully made,
When you told me that all things were gonna work
(23:13):
together for my good, you didn't tell me about the
swords that were gonna be a part of the journey.
This feels like a contradiction from what you said. I
don't know if anyone else in this room has ever
been in a position where God made you a promise,
but then a sword came, and the sword didn't look
like the promise, and the trauma didn't look like the promise,
and the bankruptcy didn't look like the promise. God, how
(23:34):
am I supposed to lay hold of the promise with
a sword piercing through my soul? I felt like Simeon
should have given the bad news first, and then the
good news. I felt like he should have said, all
of these things are going to happen. But he's gonna
(23:57):
be resurrected and everything's gonna be okay the end. But
for some reason, it doesn't work like that. He gives
the revelation and the promise first, and then he gives
the process afterwards, because it is not on Simeon to
remind you what the promise is. It is on us
(24:20):
to remember what the promise is. In the middle of
the process. When I was studying, all I could hear
was God said, I put the butt first. I put
that thing that you thought should be the butt at
the end of the bad News. I said it first.
And then I started looking back over my own life
and all of the moments where I felt like a
(24:41):
sword was piercing through my own soul, where I was
waiting for God to say, but this is gonna work
out in the end, and butt, you're gonna be healed,
and but all things are gonna work together for your good.
But God says, I'm not gonna repeat what I already
told you. I put the butt first. And I just
came to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to let somebody know that
I know it took a lot for you to get
(25:02):
into this room, and I know you're wondering how God
is going to work it out, but I hear God
saying I put the butt first that when I wrote
in the scriptures that all things were gonna work together
for your good, I wasn't just talking about the people
in the text. I was talking about the people who
would hear my voice and follow what I said to do.
That means that at the end of the day, the
(25:22):
bet is still on. At the end of the day,
the promise is still yes and amen. That means that
no weapon formed against you will prosper. I'll put that
in there first. I know you're looking at the weapon,
but I'm telling you it won't prosper. I know you're
looking at the depression, but I'm.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Telling you the joy of the Lord is your strength.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I know you're looking at the struggle, but I'm telling
you that when it's all said and done, though he
slays you, you.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Can trust in him. I put the butt first.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
That means that you gotta start telling your situation. I
know what it looks like, but I know what God
said first, and I'm hanging on to what God said first.
In the middle of what's taking place, I don't let
the middle shit shake me.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I remember what God said first.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
God said I was fearfully and wonderfully made. God said
that I was gonna make it to.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
The other side.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
God said that his spirit would overtake me and it
would show up right on time. I put the button.
I put it first. I put it first. So don't
let this idea of the promise going through a hostile
environment convince you that the promise doesn't exist anymore, because
(26:32):
that hostility, remember, is a two way street, and when
we go silent, when we feel that hostility, it is
one of the most dangerous things that we can do,
because then that hostility becomes a one way street and
we start feeding off of the images of our past
(26:56):
and the statistics about women like us and girls like us,
because that hostility is a one way street. But all
I wanted to do when I came here was to
open up that other side of the street again and
to give you permission to really be prepelled for sure,
to give you permission to really be activated again, to
(27:19):
give you permission to get back in position and recognize
that God is still working and the midst of everything
that is happening, that our God is still in control,
and that he is.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Looking for a few good women.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I know they did a movie about a few good men,
but I'm telling you, according to Genesis three and fifteen,
that he is just looking for a few good women
who wouldn't mind letting Hell know. You picked the wrong woman,
you pick the wrong family, you pick the wrong marriage,
you picked.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
The wrong child.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
This hostility is a one way street.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I'm so sick and tired of the devil telling me
who I can be and why I can't do. You
don't have no power here.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
When not Savior God on the cross, this hostility became
a one way street. It's a two way street, baby,
It's a two way street. And I want to prophesy
that when you leave this place that eyes haven't seen
and ears having heard what God is gonna do down
on the inside of you. Not so that you can
(28:24):
look good, but so that He can look good. I'm
looking for women who don't mind making their life my stage.
I'm looking for some women who don't mind making their
marriage my stage. I want to be your stage. I
want to be a stage for the glory to fall.
I want to be a stage for the spirit to fall.
(28:46):
Everyone else can be scared when they read the news.
That just makes me go harder because I recognize that
everything the enemy is trying to use for evil, that
my God is gonna turn it around for good.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
How do I know it for sure?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Because he picked a few good women from Fort Lauderdale,
Florida to go to war with him, as only they
can do.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
And that's why it had to be you.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Because he needed a woman who would get so angry
and gets so tired at having their back up against
the wall, that when everyone else would lay down in life,
she would wake up one morning and say, you know.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
What, devil, I've had enough of you playing with my mind.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I've had enough of you playing with my finances. I've
had enough of you playing with my marriage. I wish
I had some women in this room who didn't mind
saying I don't mind going to war with the devil.
I'm not afraid of darkness because I carried the light.
I'm not afraid of dying a flavor because I am
the sort of the earth.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I need some.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Women, just one or two of you, really, because one
of us could chase one thousand, two of us could
chase ten thousand. I wonder for high of us got
together in this room and decided that the days of
women being oppressed and silence are over. That I've got
(30:09):
something to prophesy over these dry bones, and I won't
close my mouth until everything that God has put in
me comes out of me like fire.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Shut up in my bones.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
They gonna make me preach, and for a lot of
their Florida. I promise I wasn't gonna preach. But now
I'm starting to feel like it's some devils in this room.
And I came to run some devils out of Florida.
I came to run depression out of Florida. I came
to make a woman get back in position and to.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Take her rightful place.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
As a woman who has victory over the enemy. I
got victory over that. I've got victory over addiction. I've
got victory over cancer. I've got victory over everything that's
been happening in my family. I've gotten victory over suicidal thoughts.
I got victory over that. I know it doesn't look
(31:06):
like victory. I'm telling you where it's gonna end. You're
looking at the middle. But I'm listening to what God said.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
First.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
God said I was gonna come out of this. God
said that this thing wasn't gonna take me out. I'm
prophesying because I don't care what the middle says. I
care what God said first. And the most powerful thing
(31:36):
that ever happened to me, it's when I was.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Six or seven years ago.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I decided that even though I got pregnant at thirteen,
had my son at fourteen, even though I dropped out
of college, even though I was waitressing at a strip club,
even though I did all of these things that were
supposed to disqualify me, the most powerful thing that ever
happened to me as I went back to what God
(32:07):
said first, I stopped looking at where I was in
the middle, and I zoomed out of the picture. And
when I zoomed out of the picture, all I could
see was when I was formed in my mother's womb,
to where He promised me that I was gonna make
it to the other side. What is the other side?
(32:28):
The other side is when His glory can be manifested
through my life. And I realized that I could not say,
zoomed into where I was and let glory be manifested
through my life at the same time. So I had
to make a decision to clear the way for Glory,
to clear the way for his anointing to fall, to
(32:51):
clear the way for him to show up. That's why
Eve is really one of my favorite women in the Bible,
because Eve found a way to clear the path for
the seed that was meant to bruise.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
The head of the serpent to be birthed. I love.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
That Eve wasn't concerned with whether or not she would
see the seed. All she was concerned with was setting
the promise in motion. So Eve has Cain and Abel
and they had beef, but she did not allow the
(33:38):
fact that Cain and Abel did not look like the
seed that would bruise the head of the serpent to
keep her from still producing. She chose to keep on
producing even when the thing that was supposed to be
the seed, or could have been the seed died. She said,
if that seed didn't work, then there must be another seed.
(33:59):
If I had time, I would preach a message called
throw another seed at it, because there are moments in
life when the first seed doesn't look like the seed
that is supposed to be the seed, and we.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Shut down all together.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
When God really just wanted you to throw another seed
at it. Eve throws another seed at it through Seth,
and Seth becomes ultimately the first line of redemption that
would lead us to Jesus. So all Eve decided to
do really was not focused on whether or not she
(34:34):
would see it, but whether or not she could do
something that would just set it in motion.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
That's my prayer for you, activate.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Is that you would not be so consumed with whether
or not you are the one who actually pulls everyone
over to the other side, that you would not be
so concerned with whether or not your business that is
just starting off becomes a Forbes company right now.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
You're thinking too big that you have.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
To work what you know until you get to where
God said you would go. So the only thing that
I want you to focus on is setting something in motion.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
If you set it in motion, God will do the rest.
I feel like it's about time for the enemy to
start understanding that that enmity is a two way street,
that you're not just gonna keep attacking me, and you're
not just gonna keep depressing me, and you're not just
gonna keep oppressing me. That I don't care how I
have to do it, or who I must become, or
(00:21):
what I have to go through to make it to
the other side.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
There's gonna come a point in.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Time where you are opposing me, not because of what
I went through, but because of what is still yet
to come out of me. So my texts begins to say,
so he he this, he is Jesus and Simeon. So
Jesus is just born to the Virgin Mary, and she
(00:49):
is following the customs and rituals of that time, and
she is presenting him in Jerusalem. They make it to Jerusalem,
and they are presenting him to Simeon. And so he
that he is Simeon came by the spirit into the temple,
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to
do for him according to the custom of the law,
(01:11):
he took him up in his arms and blessed God
and said, Lord, now you are letting your servant depart
in peace according to your word. For my eyes have
seen your salvation which you have prepared before me, for
which you have prepared before the face of all people,
a light to bring revelation to the gentiles and the
(01:33):
glory of your people Israel. And Joseph and his mother
marveled at those things which were spoken of him. Then
Simeon blessed them and said to marry his mother. Behold,
this child is destined for the fall and rising of
many in Israel, and for a sign which will be
spoken against Yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul,
(01:59):
also that the thoughts of many hearts.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
May be revealed.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
God, I want to thank you for opportunities like this,
opportunities to be in your presence and amongst your people,
and so Father, you and I have spent time communicating
and me receiving your perspective on the women in this room.
My prayer God is that you would flow through me,
that there would be nothing that stands in your way,
(02:27):
no nerves, no fear, no anxiety, just your strength, your power,
your rich revelation about women in this season and generation.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That it would flow, and that it would break.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Chains in this room, that it would give me identity
in this room, that it would give us power like
never before. Lord, let your glory fall as only it
can do. That our lives may be radically changed.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
In Jesus' name. Amen had to pray to get the
jitters off. So I am.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Part of the reason why this is gonna be a
little awkward is because of all of my father's children,
I was the least likely to be in ministry, and
because I thought the Bible was boring, which List already
told me I was boring.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It wasn't the Bible. It means fine.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But part of my mission in life is to make
it less boring for people, and so I like to
share ministry in a way that is relatable. Part of
what I think God wants me to do I'm just
waiting for confirmation is to create any bonx version of
the Bible. I don't have a release yet, but I
(03:40):
feel like it's going to happen before it's all said
and done. In this Ebonics version of the Bible, I
would just like jump right into the story, you know,
so like Genesis would just begin with Eve just going
in telling us how she messed it all.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Up for everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
But it's Ebonic, so she's got to say it in
a way that we can understand.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She would be like in.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
The West Garden of Eden. I was born, put out
and raised by the Euphrates is where I spend most
of my days, chilling out, maxid and relaxing, all cool
to creep. A little serpent came up and messed up
my groove. S Ebonics is going to be amazing. It's
going to take off. You guys should pre order it
on Amazon right now, sell like hotcakes. The only thing
(04:31):
that I haven't quite figured out for my Ebonics version
of Eve's story in the Bible is how I'm going
to explain the beef that took place between her and
the serpent, Because in the Ebonics version, I want to
say that her and the serpent had beef.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You know, for those of you unfamiliar.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
With beef, actually not talking about filet. I am talking
about a word that we use in some and culture
that explains when you have a disagreement of sorts with someone. Yeah,
I would say that they had beef, but I love
the way the King James version puts it. It says
(05:11):
that they have enmity Enmity is such incredible word. I
looked up the definition because I wanted to share it
with you. Enmity means the state or feeling of being
actively opposed or hostile to someone or something. In Genesis
(05:32):
three and fifteen, God says to the serpent, I'm gonna
put enmity between you and the woman, and that her
seed will bruise your head, but your seed will bruise her.
Heal that word enmity. I love that word enmity. I'm
gonna read it one more time. It says the state
or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone
(05:57):
or something. And I don't know about you, but there
are moments from me when I feel that enmity. I
feel that opposition from the enemy. I feel that hostility
from the enemy. It's like I take two steps forward
and sometimes he takes me ten steps backwards. It feels
like every time I start pursuing that vision and that
(06:20):
identity that God has for me, that he sends someone
who reminds me of who I used to be, or
the shame from who I was creeps up behind me.
I feel that hostility every time I start pressing towards
the mark, and so that enmity is such a powerful
word that I don't think that I could replace it
with anything else. But what I love is that God
(06:42):
didn't just say that I'm going to put the enmity
against the woman from the serpent.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
He says that this enmity is going to be a
two way street.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That the woman is not just going to feel opposed
by the serpent, but that the woman is going to
represent opposition for the serpent as well. Somebody understands that
what I'm saying is that when a woman steps into
her purpose, and when a woman steps into who she
(07:16):
is in God, that the enemy may have some opposition,
but she is opposition for the enemy too. That means
that when you register for propel, and you made arrangements
for the kids, and you decided that you were going
to be in here by any means necessary, I'm gonna
stand in line at seven am, not because I don't
(07:37):
have anything else to do, but because I am opposition
for the enemy, and there's a word waiting somewhere with
my name on it. I am the enemy's opposition. I
know it doesn't look like it because of all I
went through, but I'm just dusting off the dirt from
what I went through so that I can become the
enemy's opposition. I'm not in here to be cute. I'm
(07:57):
not in here to play games. I'm in here because
I'm opposition against the enemy. He's claimed too many of
my women. He's claimed my mother, he claimed my sister.
But he can't have me. I'm my position. I'm your
worst night mayor. I'm gonna need a little more heat
in the microphone because I need somebody to know that
(08:18):
they are the enemy's worst nightmare.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
When you woke up this morning and.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You dressed yourself to come into this room, that demon
started trembling because I didn't want you to get a
revelation about who you are. But I came to set
somebody free in this place. You are his greatest threat.
A woman who knows who she is and God is
(08:43):
the enemy's greatest threat.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I know that I went through some things that may
have bruised my heel, but you still better be afraid
of me.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
It wouldn't have looked like it when I was thirteen
years old and pregnant, but I was the enemy's greatest threat.
It wouldn't have looked like it when you were going
through divorce, but you were the enemy's greatest threat. It
wouldn't have looked like it when you were struggling with
that addiction, but you were the enemy's greatest threat.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You are.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
His opposition. And that is why there will always be
war over what a woman can put in the earth.
Because a woman knows how to take a seed and
turn it into a person. She knows how to take
a seed and turn it into a nonprofit. She knows
(09:41):
how to take a seed and turn it into a business.
It wouldn't even make sense if you saw the seed,
if you saw what some of these women had gone through,
if you would have seen the seed that started Christine Kane,
you would have never believed that it would turn into propel.
But she's a woman who recognized that I am the
enemy's greatest threat.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
About you, but I feel like it's about time for
the enemy to start understanding that that enmity is a
two way street. That you're not just gonna keep attacking me,
and you're not just gonna keep depressing me, and you're
not just gonna keep oppressing me. That I don't care
(10:22):
how I have to do it. Or who I must become,
or what I have to go through to make it
to the other side. There's gonna come a point in
time where you are opposing me, not because of what
I went through, but because of what is still yet
to come out of me, still something that must come
(10:43):
out of you. And I asked myself, I said, God,
why is it that the enmity couldn't be between the
serpent and the man? Why did it have to be
the woman? This notion that we are the weaker vessel,
then why not put the stronger vessel up for the fight?
(11:05):
But when I study my word and I look at
the character of God, and I believe wholeheartedly that he
makes no mistakes, and means that when he put enmity
between the woman and the serpent, the woman and the enemy,
that it wasn't just a fair fight, that it was
(11:26):
a fixed fight. That he didn't put us into this
position because he thought that a loss was even possible.
That he put us in the position because he knew
the wind would be guaranteed. That means that not only
is it fair, which means that if you roll up
(11:46):
your sleeves and you'd be who God has called you
to be, and you start trusting what he says about
who you are and what you can do in the earth,
that the fight is going to turn in your favor.
I hear God telling somebody you're the woman for the job.
I know what the doctor said about the cancer, but
I hear God saying you're the woman for the job.
That I put you in a fight that was already fixed,
that I put you in a fight that you were
(12:08):
bound to win. I know the child is acting crazy,
I know they're cutting up on the job, but you
are the woman for the job. If you don't hear
anything else I say in this place, I want you
to know that there is nothing that is happening in
your life that is designed to take you out. That
thing is designed to birth the best version of you.
My girl, my sister, you are the woman for the job.
(12:31):
When the enemy tried to make me feel nervous, I
told the enemy, you can't have my mind today because
I'm the woman for the job. I'm gonna do flat
footed what God has called me to do, because I'm
the woman. I'm the woman for the job. I'm the
woman for the job. Somebody's gotta start prophesying over that.
Situation that's trying to tell you you're not gonna make it.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Honey.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I'm the woman for the job. I'm gonna raise that
child anyway. I'm gonna start that business anyway. I don't
care what the bank said. I don't need a bank.
My God shall provide all of my needs. I'm the
woman for the job, baby, I'm the only one who
can do what I do the way that I do it.
(13:13):
And you, you're the woman for the job.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
You're the woman for the job.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I want to rebuke depression trying to make you believe
that you're not the woman for the job. I want
to rebuke suicide, trying to make you believe that we
would be better without you. Ill bind you, Satan. You
have no power here. And when you attack my sister,
you attack me. I'm the woman for the job. I
know how to warfare for the woman who can't war
for herself.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I'm the woman for the job.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
So when we talk about positioning and the way that
life has the tendency of putting us in positions that
we don't always feel qualified for, I can't help but
think about Mary and how God saw that she was
the woman for the job even though Mary initially didn't
(14:09):
believe that she was the woman for the job. Man,
I can relate to that, someone says, Pastor, I want
to believe that I'm the woman for the job, but
if I'm honest, I don't feel qualified. I'm in position,
(14:30):
but I don't feel qualified for the position I'm in,
and the position is trying to make me believe that
I don't have what it takes to make it to
the other side. And for a moment, I want to
glean some wisdom from Mary that I hope can help
you in the position that God has placed you in,
(14:50):
because if we remember, God doesn't make mistakes, and if
he called you into that position, no matter how overwhelming
the position is, it's because he believe that you are
the woman for the job. And so our task then
becomes to ask God, what is it that you know
about me that would have you place me in this position?
Because if you place me in this position, then you
(15:12):
know something about.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Me that I don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And sometimes our greatest prayer should be God, would you
open up my eyes so that I can see who
I am supposed to be in your kingdom, that I
would not compare myself to everything that came before me
or the things coming up behind me, but that I
would trust that you place me in this position because
no one else could do it like me but me.
(15:38):
Mary teaches us that the most powerful thing that any
of us can do when we have this.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Feeling is to go anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, so Mary doesn't feel qualified, but she goes anyway.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
She goes not knowing.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
How she's supposed to take this baby and turn it
into a king.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
When the Angel of the.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Lord appears to Mary, he tells Mary everything that that
child is going to be, but she doesn't receive the
promise in the form that God said that it was
going to end up in. God help me to say it.
There are moments when we receive something from God that
doesn't look like where it's going to end. Oh, I
(16:26):
feel like that's a word for somebody that you're looking
at the baby wondering how the baby's going to become king.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
You're looking at the.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Small thing trying to figure out how is that ever
going to become the big thing. God, you told me
that I would be the one that would break the
generational curse. But right now I look like every other
generation that came before me. How am I gonna take
this small thing and turn it into a big thing. God,
you told me that you would bless my business, but
I can't even get the financing god need. God says,
(16:57):
I didn't give it to you in the form that
it's going to end up in. I gave it to
you in the form that would grow you up and
to the person who could raise it into everything that
it could be. I feel like somebody's got to get
that down in your spirit. Do not despise the days
of small beginnings. That it started off small so that
you could grow with it, because when you grow with it,
(17:20):
it grows you up. When you grow with it, it
grows you up. And so Mary teaches us the power
of going anyway. She questions her ability initially, but ultimately
she chooses to trust God's plan for her life. Mary
chose to just go anyway. Sometimes you have to just
(17:44):
go anyway. God gives you what you need as you go.
And sometimes we want all of the answers, and God,
I want to know how you're going to do it.
I'm not saying I won't go, I'm just saying, can
you tell me exactly how it's gonna happen, and God says,
I'll tell you how it's gonna happen when you start moving,
you see, because God is looking for someone who he
(18:07):
can order steps along the way. I feel like there's
someone in this room that if God gave you all
of the steps right now, that you would feel more
in control than you actually are. When you go anyway,
it is a sign to God that I don't have
to have all of the answers. I just want to
be where you tell me I am supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
God. I don't know how you're going to do it
in my marriage.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I don't know how you're gonna do it in my family,
But I am going to go anyway. And when I go,
you meet me where you tell me you were going
to meet me. When you go, God meets you.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
He's calling you to where he is.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
That's why we have to go, because God calls you
to where he is, and when we move in that direction,
it is assigned to him that we can be trusted.
Because there are moments when God orders our steps, but we.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Gotta tell take them first.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I gotta forgive, I gotta go anyway. I want to
stay stuck in this bitterness. I want to stay stuck
in this pain. But I can't stay here, so I
gotta go anyway. And Mary starts going anyway. And so
some of you are wondering, Okay, I'll go anyway.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I'll do what God told me to do. I don't
know how he's gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I don't have all of the resources that I need
in order to do it, but I want to go anyway.
And so Mary teaches us a valuable lesson. And if
you're taking notes, I want you to write this down,
because what Mary teaches us in those moments where we
have to go anyway, is that the power in going.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Starts with you using what you know.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Mary begins to just follow the customs of the Jewish people.
At that time, God gave her something that is going
to ultimately deliver Israel, but right now she doesn't know
how it's going to become a deliverer.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
And so because she doesn't.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Know how she's going to get from a to Z,
she just starts working what she knows. She knows that
when I have a baby, that I need to wait
until my time of purification is over, and after that,
I need to go into Jerusalem and I need to
present the baby.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
She works what she knows while she goes.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
The most powerful thing that any of us can do
is activate what we know, because when we activate what
we know, it gives God permission to show us more
and to teach us more. Imagine had even in the garden,
and she simply activated what she knew. There are things
that we know about our lives that we haven't activated
(20:48):
yet because we don't know what's waiting on the other side.
But when you use what you know, it starts to
lead you into the direction that God says he's calling
you towards.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
That means the relationship has to end.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
That means that we have to have the forgiveness down
in our heart even though we don't believe that the
person is truly sorry. Our forgiveness is not predicated on
whether or not that person is actually sorry.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
My forgiveness is.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Predicated on the fact that I'm going anyway, that I'm
not gonna stay stuck where that pain met me. I'm
not gonna stay stuck where that disappointment met me.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm going anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
So Mary begins to go anyway, and she's using what
she knows because learning how to go anyway and using
what you know, I think is one of the most
powerful things that any of us can do. So after
she's come out of the presence, Mary begins the task
of living out what God said to God said to do,
(21:45):
and so in the process of doing this, she is
presenting this child Jesus into to Simeon. And I have
to be honest, when I read this text, I felt
like I felt like it was out of order, because
Simeon says in verse twenty nine, he identifies with Mary
(22:06):
and confirms with Mary what God already said about what
she was caring.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
She says.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
He says, Lord, now you are letting your servants apart
in peace according to your word. For my eyes have
seen your salvation, which you have prepared before the face
of all people's a light to bring revelation to the gentiles.
Mary already knew all of those things, that that is
what she was caring, and that's who the child would become.
So in many ways this is confirmation for her. But
(22:33):
then Simeon says something that seems like it is contradicting
what he just said, because he says, behold, this child
is destined for the fallen rising of many in Israel,
and for a sign which will be spoken against Yes,
a sword will pierce through your own soul.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
When the Angel of.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
The Lord came, he didn't say nothing by no swords.
Let's see bonnux version slipping out again. God, when you
gave me the promise, when you told me what I
was carrying, when you told me who I would become,
when you told me I was fearfully and wonderfully made,
When you told me that all things were gonna work
(23:13):
together for my good, you didn't tell me about the
swords that were gonna be a part of the journey.
This feels like a contradiction from what you said. I
don't know if anyone else in this room has ever
been in a position where God made you a promise,
but then a sword came, and the sword didn't look
like the promise, and the trauma didn't look like the promise,
and the bankruptcy didn't look like the promise. God, how
(23:34):
am I supposed to lay hold of the promise with
a sword piercing through my soul? I felt like Simeon
should have given the bad news first, and then the
good news. I felt like he should have said, all
of these things are going to happen. But he's gonna
(23:57):
be resurrected and everything's gonna be okay the end. But
for some reason, it doesn't work like that. He gives
the revelation and the promise first, and then he gives
the process afterwards, because it is not on Simeon to
remind you what the promise is. It is on us
(24:20):
to remember what the promise is. In the middle of
the process. When I was studying, all I could hear
was God said, I put the butt first. I put
that thing that you thought should be the butt at
the end of the bad News. I said it first.
And then I started looking back over my own life
and all of the moments where I felt like a
(24:41):
sword was piercing through my own soul, where I was
waiting for God to say, but this is gonna work
out in the end, and butt, you're gonna be healed,
and but all things are gonna work together for your good.
But God says, I'm not gonna repeat what I already
told you. I put the butt first. And I just
came to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to let somebody know that
I know it took a lot for you to get
(25:02):
into this room, and I know you're wondering how God
is going to work it out, but I hear God
saying I put the butt first that when I wrote
in the scriptures that all things were gonna work together
for your good, I wasn't just talking about the people
in the text. I was talking about the people who
would hear my voice and follow what I said to do.
That means that at the end of the day, the
(25:22):
bet is still on. At the end of the day,
the promise is still yes and amen. That means that
no weapon formed against you will prosper. I'll put that
in there first. I know you're looking at the weapon,
but I'm telling you it won't prosper. I know you're
looking at the depression, but I'm.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Telling you the joy of the Lord is your strength.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I know you're looking at the struggle, but I'm telling
you that when it's all said and done, though he
slays you, you.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Can trust in him. I put the butt first.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
That means that you gotta start telling your situation. I
know what it looks like, but I know what God
said first, and I'm hanging on to what God said first.
In the middle of what's taking place, I don't let
the middle shit shake me.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I remember what God said first.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
God said I was fearfully and wonderfully made. God said
that I was gonna make it to.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
The other side.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
God said that his spirit would overtake me and it
would show up right on time. I put the button.
I put it first. I put it first. So don't
let this idea of the promise going through a hostile
environment convince you that the promise doesn't exist anymore, because
(26:32):
that hostility, remember, is a two way street, and when
we go silent, when we feel that hostility, it is
one of the most dangerous things that we can do,
because then that hostility becomes a one way street and
we start feeding off of the images of our past
(26:56):
and the statistics about women like us and girls like us,
because that hostility is a one way street. But all
I wanted to do when I came here was to
open up that other side of the street again and
to give you permission to really be prepelled for sure,
to give you permission to really be activated again, to
(27:19):
give you permission to get back in position and recognize
that God is still working and the midst of everything
that is happening, that our God is still in control,
and that he is.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Looking for a few good women.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I know they did a movie about a few good men,
but I'm telling you, according to Genesis three and fifteen,
that he is just looking for a few good women
who wouldn't mind letting Hell know. You picked the wrong woman,
you pick the wrong family, you pick the wrong marriage,
you picked.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
The wrong child.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
This hostility is a one way street.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I'm so sick and tired of the devil telling me
who I can be and why I can't do. You
don't have no power here.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
When not Savior God on the cross, this hostility became
a one way street. It's a two way street, baby,
It's a two way street. And I want to prophesy
that when you leave this place that eyes haven't seen
and ears having heard what God is gonna do down
on the inside of you. Not so that you can
(28:24):
look good, but so that He can look good. I'm
looking for women who don't mind making their life my stage.
I'm looking for some women who don't mind making their
marriage my stage. I want to be your stage. I
want to be a stage for the glory to fall.
I want to be a stage for the spirit to fall.
(28:46):
Everyone else can be scared when they read the news.
That just makes me go harder because I recognize that
everything the enemy is trying to use for evil, that
my God is gonna turn it around for good.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
How do I know it for sure?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Because he picked a few good women from Fort Lauderdale,
Florida to go to war with him, as only they
can do.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
And that's why it had to be you.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Because he needed a woman who would get so angry
and gets so tired at having their back up against
the wall, that when everyone else would lay down in life,
she would wake up one morning and say, you know.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
What, devil, I've had enough of you playing with my mind.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I've had enough of you playing with my finances. I've
had enough of you playing with my marriage. I wish
I had some women in this room who didn't mind
saying I don't mind going to war with the devil.
I'm not afraid of darkness because I carried the light.
I'm not afraid of dying a flavor because I am
the sort of the earth.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I need some.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Women, just one or two of you, really, because one
of us could chase one thousand, two of us could
chase ten thousand. I wonder for high of us got
together in this room and decided that the days of
women being oppressed and silence are over. That I've got
(30:09):
something to prophesy over these dry bones, and I won't
close my mouth until everything that God has put in
me comes out of me like fire.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Shut up in my bones.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
They gonna make me preach, and for a lot of
their Florida. I promise I wasn't gonna preach. But now
I'm starting to feel like it's some devils in this room.
And I came to run some devils out of Florida.
I came to run depression out of Florida. I came
to make a woman get back in position and to.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Take her rightful place.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
As a woman who has victory over the enemy. I
got victory over that. I've got victory over addiction. I've
got victory over cancer. I've got victory over everything that's
been happening in my family. I've gotten victory over suicidal thoughts.
I got victory over that. I know it doesn't look
(31:06):
like victory. I'm telling you where it's gonna end. You're
looking at the middle. But I'm listening to what God said.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
First.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
God said I was gonna come out of this. God
said that this thing wasn't gonna take me out. I'm
prophesying because I don't care what the middle says. I
care what God said first. And the most powerful thing
(31:36):
that ever happened to me, it's when I was.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Six or seven years ago.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I decided that even though I got pregnant at thirteen,
had my son at fourteen, even though I dropped out
of college, even though I was waitressing at a strip club,
even though I did all of these things that were
supposed to disqualify me, the most powerful thing that ever
happened to me as I went back to what God
(32:07):
said first, I stopped looking at where I was in
the middle, and I zoomed out of the picture. And
when I zoomed out of the picture, all I could
see was when I was formed in my mother's womb,
to where He promised me that I was gonna make
it to the other side. What is the other side?
(32:28):
The other side is when His glory can be manifested
through my life. And I realized that I could not say,
zoomed into where I was and let glory be manifested
through my life at the same time. So I had
to make a decision to clear the way for Glory,
to clear the way for his anointing to fall, to
(32:51):
clear the way for him to show up. That's why
Eve is really one of my favorite women in the Bible,
because Eve found a way to clear the path for
the seed that was meant to bruise.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
The head of the serpent to be birthed. I love.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
That Eve wasn't concerned with whether or not she would
see the seed. All she was concerned with was setting
the promise in motion. So Eve has Cain and Abel
and they had beef, but she did not allow the
(33:38):
fact that Cain and Abel did not look like the
seed that would bruise the head of the serpent to
keep her from still producing. She chose to keep on
producing even when the thing that was supposed to be
the seed, or could have been the seed died. She said,
if that seed didn't work, then there must be another seed.
(33:59):
If I had time, I would preach a message called
throw another seed at it, because there are moments in
life when the first seed doesn't look like the seed
that is supposed to be the seed, and we.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Shut down all together.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
When God really just wanted you to throw another seed
at it. Eve throws another seed at it through Seth,
and Seth becomes ultimately the first line of redemption that
would lead us to Jesus. So all Eve decided to
do really was not focused on whether or not she
(34:34):
would see it, but whether or not she could do
something that would just set it in motion.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
That's my prayer for you, activate.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Is that you would not be so consumed with whether
or not you are the one who actually pulls everyone
over to the other side, that you would not be
so concerned with whether or not your business that is
just starting off becomes a Forbes company right now.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
You're thinking too big that you have.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
To work what you know until you get to where
God said you would go. So the only thing that
I want you to focus on is setting something in motion.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
If you set it in motion, God will do the rest.
