Speaker 1 (00:01):
Did you know that fifty seven percent of people are
actively searching for their purpose and twenty one percent have
just given up. That means only twenty two percent of
people actually know their purpose. And guess what of those
majority of people who are searching for their purpose, they
(00:22):
are feeling stuck and overwhelmed and confused, frustrated, and it
even leads to depression. Well, guess what, God has a
better way. And I am inviting you to free masterclass
purpose and passion because not only were you called to
have passion, but you are called to have passion on purpose.
(00:47):
You are called for an assignment for such a time
as this, and this is a great time to step
into the more that you've been feeling God has for you,
But you didn't know how to figure out how you're
going to address the three biggest challenges that keep you
from being passionately on purpose. Won't you join me? Well,
(01:23):
hello there, welcome to the nth degree. Donna and I
have been getting down to business this morning. We want
to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yes, indeed, we have praise the Lord Jesus Christ. We
exolve him. It's just phenomenal being a child of God
and Jesus Christ is it not.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It is a phenomenal journey and journey it is progression
and processing all the way through and increasing one's capacity
to relate to a spirit God who came in the flesh,
who is in heaven with his blood, and relating to
(02:07):
that covenant that we have with heavenly Father, and being
willing to be beckoned, invited, moved upon, impressed with what
Holy Spirit is saying, as he is the Godhead that
is in the earth still and just moving with him.
(02:29):
It's a privilege, and it also blows my mind every time.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So what we were doing this morning,
we just realized that we were pressing into the mature
things of the Lord, and Hebrews six one says, therefore,
let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and
be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation
(02:56):
of repentance from acts that lead to death, faith in God,
an instruction about Oh, I don't like this. This is
the NIV. It says cleansing rights instead of baptisms, laying
on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
So he what this verse is saying that these things
(03:17):
are foundational and these are the elementary teachings. And I
don't know how about you, Donna, but I haven't resurrected
the dead very often, well well dead things.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It's interesting that you say it like that, because I
could say, well, there's times I think I have contributed
to what Father wanted you to raise a dead Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, you're right, there are there are things.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Have I seen a physical body? Do that I have
breath come back into it? No, I have, like Lazar, No,
not yet.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, but have I.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Prayed person that have contributed to these things? Yes, I
would undoubtedly agree with that.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I have.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Interesting. So that verse in case you guys are listening
and want to put that down in your journal, that's
Hebrews six one.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Six one and two. That last bit was part of two.
I was going to read it in a different translation,
but it's all good that you guys out for yourself
do your own research.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So interesting is that we had been praying prayers this
morning in a courtroom of heaven scenario. We had been
on behalf of another person. We had been pressing in
and every step we prayed, we knew Holy Spirit was
saying okay, this, okay, this correct say this, And so
(04:41):
we were using our practiced skills, our own experience in
prayer and in the natural to take his nugget or
his direction. He is the guide, he's our teacher, and
go with it and do it boldly. And so after
we finished praying, that's when I kept hearing that. And
(05:03):
I'm like, Brilin, what is that verse that says leaving
the elementary things behind? And she's like, oh, oh, I
know that verse.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I know because I was just using it in my
encounter Jesus' program, so I had just written it down.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So yeah, I was stumbling all around. I'm like, no,
I keep hearing that verse. But that's what maturing sense
of God in Jesus Christ do. That's why we're here
on earth to work with God in the boundary lines
of where our progress is with him, our maturity and
(05:39):
our understanding, because you have to work with understanding and
to accomplish what not our will, but Father's will, to
accomplish what not our government or our dominion, but the
rule of Heaven, the rule of Elohem and the earth realm.
And this is who we are, ladies and gentlemen. Let
(06:03):
it really sink into your heart deeply. This is why
you're here. Yes, the Lord wants you to enjoy your life.
That's abundant life, but he came that we would have
more than abundant life. More than abundant life then has
to have a facet of an expression that involves something
from the unseen realm. And of course we do that
(06:24):
through Holy Spirit, Yeshiah and Heavenly Father, according to their will.
The occult does it in like manner, according to their
will and the will of the Kingdom of darkness.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, yeah, so I'm I thought that it was later
in Hebrew six, but it must be somewhere else. I
don't want to waste my time or not waste my time,
but I don't want to take the time to look
court right now. But there are just what you said
is seeking his will, not our will is in there
and I was just perusing around, so it might be
(07:03):
Ephesians five. I don't like I said, I don't want
to look. It's somewhere around there. Twice it says look
at his will twice within I don't know ten verses,
so not you know, go to see what the Lord
would say about a situation. That's what we're saying is
that is the mature way to pray for someone.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yes, oh boy, if I could take my golden megaphone
and shout that to the universe, I would say. Remember
when the disciples who had grown up in the Jewish community,
but they said to the Savior, teach us how to pray.
We're not sure how to do this. What is this
thing praying? And he said right away, he pointed not
(07:48):
to his will, but to the Father's will. And he said,
in order to pray, you're going to pray the Father's will.
You're going to pray his kingdom. That's he didn't say,
that's why you're here, But this is why you have
breath in a mouth and lips, and.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
It is to pray.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
But it's not to pray according to your will, because
let me tell you, your soul will take you against
the will of God if you're not careful, because your
soul's very emotional. But the manifest wisdom of God is
that he left Holy Spirit here in the europ for
our leaning upon him. So my exhortation to you is
(08:27):
to lean more heavily on him, really lean like leaning
so much that's you're off balance. You feel off balance
you're leaning on Holy spirit so hard, and that from
that position you receive the will of Father. As to
how to pray for someone.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Okay, I found those verses. It's actually a Fijians five.
So let me read those two Heresians five eight, Ephesians five, nine,
and ten. Let me just say that, for the fruit
of light is found in all that is good, right
and true, and try to discern what is pleasing to
(09:08):
the Lord. Okay, so let me just back up to seven. Therefore,
do not become partners with them. Okay, back up to six.
Let no one deceive you with empty words. Because of
these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons
of disobedience. Therefore, do not become partners with them. For
one time you are in darkness, but now you are
light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. For
(09:30):
the fruit of light is found in all that is good,
right and true. And try to discern what is pleasing
to the Lord. So, in other words, get his will
on a thing, right, and try to discern means you
can discern, right, I can look it up in a different.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
No, no, no, that's fine, that's the ESV.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But right, this is when I pointing out the word
try to the American mind is like, oh, but I
might fail. But no, you can't think like that. If
you're encouraged to try, that means you're encouraged to succeed.
So by faith, if you mix face with that faith
with that verse, that means you can discern. Believing that
you can discern the will of the Lord, or what
(10:11):
pleases him, asking him, leaning on him, searching out, seeking
first the kingdom. Those are the verses that also go
with that.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, the NIV says, find out what pleases the Lord.
And then remember we were talking about wake o sleeper.
It's right here next Ephesians five fourteen. Therefore it says,
a wake o sleeper and rise from the dead, and
Christ will shine on you. So they're quoting an old testament.
I think that's probably in Isaiah somewhere. Sure it comes
sounds like Isaiah's talkin.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah it does, but that go ahead, and.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
So then the next time it says that it's right
there after in Ephesians five point fifteen. Look carefully, then,
how you walk not as unwise? But why this is
all about maturity, making the best use of time, because
the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but
understand what the will of the Lord is.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yes, So there you have it. Ladies and gentlemen. You
are designed with the capacity and the ability in Jesus
to discern the will of Father.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And you can hear from him.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yes, And so you can hear from him. You can
receive impressions from him. You can receive a dream from him.
You can receive Jesus meeting you in heavenly places and
telling you. You can receive any being like an angel
of a holy angel to visit your atmosphere where you're like, whoa,
what do you have for me? A messenger angel? That
(11:42):
happened in the Bible. We're not going off the deep
in here. That's normal for the Christian.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Right and I wasn't even taking it to the NS degree.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's right, right, that baby pool step right. So so,
but you can. So the exhortation to your heart today
is expand your belief that you can discern what makes
Baba happy. You can discern what is the will of
Jesus as King and he wants to have ruling dominion
(12:10):
in the earth through you in your mouth? What is
Holy Spirit impressing you on or just passing thought. These
are These are the seeking of the Kingdom about issues
in your very life. He cares for you, he knows
what's going on, he wants to help. He has every
resource available to you. You just have to receive the
(12:33):
flow of that and how to get in it to
walk it out. And this is done by waking up
your spirit.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Right, and this in general and also in specific. So
in general, and you know, I'm all about finding your
purpose and then lighting yourself on fire to go after it.
So purpose and passion, I'm all about that. In fact,
I'm doing a masterclass on that. But here's the in
(13:03):
the specific too. If you want to pray for someone,
you kind of want to either get some specifics to
pray about or just ask the Lord for specifics. To
be very direct and strategic in your prayers so that
you can target the thing, not just in general, oh
bless them, Lord, but really specifically. And I am coming
(13:27):
off of a forty hour fast. I was specifically praying
for a friend of mine to get pregnant, and the
Lord was giving me specific strategies to pray for what
that looks like. And I looked up the verses that
talk about bearing children you know, come overcoming barrenness that
the you know everything that has to do with birthing
(13:48):
and fruit and those kinds of things, and the Lord
had me put those together and personalize them. And so
that was one of the strategies that I got from
Heaven to be very specific about what you're praying for.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Very and I think Heaven just outdoes itself when you
set your heart to intercede for another or here's another scenario,
when you are ministering one on one with someone. You
and I do that a lot. We have the capacity
to hear from Heaven and He'll use everything to help us.
(14:25):
And what my favorite is is the closeness of his
presence that drops into your heart and knowing you had
no knowledge of Some people may call that a word
of knowledge. That word knowledge is fine, but in knowing
on how to help somebody get free, because listen, God
(14:46):
is all about getting people free. He's all about free.
Jesus is every time. He's just so all about it,
like that's what he is missioned on earth was free us, but.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It's broken hearted and set the cap free.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, that the captain is free and he led them captive.
You know from the depths of the earth. But he
led captivity captives. Sorry, he's got Hebrews. And I think
that what's just every time I give with him in
this heart stance, his frequency of I want to free
(15:24):
that person. I want to free that person. I want
to free that person. And sometimes the people don't even
know they're bound or enslaved. They don't even know that
they have a mentality they can't get free of, or
they have a broken heart that's causing them not to
see truth. And there's just so many ways. But God
is so about it. He's so about it, And I
(15:46):
love the resources of heaven that are available to us.
Open your heart to the resources of heaven, and ask
your heavenly father, Father, out of all the storehouses of heaven,
whatever is available for me to help this person I'm
ministering to get free. Would you deliver that to me
or to her or him?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, And that is definitely a stepping into the maturity
and understanding how to interface, engage, participate, co labor, co create,
whatever the words you want to use all of the
above with Heaven to get a thing done in the earth,
whatever that looks like. That is the hallmark of maturity.
(16:29):
To be able to do that, to get his will
for a situation and then execute it well. And when
you hear things like when Donna and I were getting
down to business this morning, we heard some things that
may have sounded crazy to someone who hasn't looked into
all of the schemes of the enemy. And so if
(16:50):
you hear something, if you hear or feel or sense
something odd strange, research it, look it up. Say what
are you saying to me here, so that you can
better articulate and bring what you're seeing or sensing or
hearing in heaven into the earth through your voice. Either
you're declaring a thing, you're coming into agreement with what
(17:13):
the Lord said about a thing. But if you don't
understand what he is saying, you won't properly articulate it.
So don't be afraid of the weird stuff, the nth
degree kind of stuff. Research it. Look it up. If
the Lord says something you have free a captive that's
in a test tube, what do you mean, Lord, show
(17:34):
me it should be more.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, there's been a couple of times where in prayer
I would just bust out laughing because my natural intellect
and brain was like blown and trying to make sense
of this, you know, process, process, process, But what will
come out of my mouth is one I was like,
I would be praying by the unction of the Spirit,
(17:56):
and I would be praying in English with him, and
I would pray, it would pause and go, Jesus, is
that even a thing?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Oh my gosh, how many times have I said that?
Like I didn't know that was a thing.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You know, like, stay the course, let's it's okay, But
later to go, okay, Lord, where would you want to
teach me about that? Or where would you want me
to receive instruction from that?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
This Holy Spirit is the one He really wants to
give it to you, but you're not making time for
it because that requires listening. And oh boy, have had
to learn that lesson and to sit and listen is
to be taught by the Lord is just it's it's
wonderful Saturday.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
And so if you're asking where is that in the Bible,
it's in Oh here I go again, not remembering Hebrews.
And it's have nothing to like he I've got Ephesians
open over here, got brain over here, Yeah, exactly, two
great books. It has says, has nothing to do with
the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. So
(19:07):
you doing the research and exposing them, is you stepping
into aure more mature understanding of what the Lord might
call you to do to release the captives in those situations,
or you know, give you better tools to do that
if the if the Lord is calling you to see
(19:28):
a thing, then you're supposed to do something about it,
right right, yeah, and you can. You have you have
the ability and.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You do have that authority. It is amazing to me
how patient the Lord is with us. Then he works
with us so we get it. Like, I mean, I
just had something in my own life happened. I'm not
going to go on all the details, but I mean
I was aware of something on like a Wednesday. Today
(19:58):
is the following two day, and finally yesterday morning, I
was like, oh, and I you know, you feel like
a child first grade. But it's okay. That's a beautiful
state of being with the Lord and there and then
he's connecting the dots for you because you didn't get
(20:19):
the resolution. You're still praying about it, right, I started
praying about it on Wednesday, But you're still praying about it.
And he's like already answer to you. You're like, I
missed it? How did you answer me? Lord? And the
slightest impression upon your heart? Folks, I cannot stress that enough.
I have more invitation to the spirit realm. I actually
move into the spirit room and talk to the Lord
(20:40):
more and listen to him and received from him, because
he initiates it with a very slight impression. He is
a small, still voice. He is a breeze on the wind.
He is an invitation. He will not force down the door.
And if your heart is cold to him, go ask
for flends, go ask for help, because a heart that's
(21:03):
warm to him receives the slightest touch, just the slightest nudge,
And then you're like, okay, I felt that.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Let's talk about that, and you can practice that just
even in little decisions throughout the day. Lord, what do
you say about this and go with it? Go with
whatever the first little inkling is, or especially if it's
opposite of what you would usually do, or opposite of
something that is soulish. You know, give more than you
(21:36):
thought you were going to give, or you know or or.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
There's just so many ways. I have a lifetime full.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Of this exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You know, examples the other day, I have known for
a couple of weeks I need to purchase an item.
And so when you finally get to the you know,
the you know, you're researching, okay, the ite of my need,
the side of my need, and I'm like, okay, I'm
this size, and right away I'm like, I'm supposed to
get the bigger size, more expensive, more but I'm supposed
(22:08):
to get the bigger size. I've decided him. And I'm like, okay,
that's a stretch for my faith. Almost like the Holy
Spirit like is like, yeah, okay, so why you're like,
oh I get it now, just stretch for my faith.
It's gonna build me.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
So good. All right, So we just encourage you to, yeah,
press on toward maturity so that you can say, second
Pimothy for seven that said I ran the race, I
fought the fight, and I kept the faith. So you know,
or there's also the Versus says, well done, good and
(22:47):
faithful servant. You know, we want to we want to
come to full maturity. It's our it's it's the highest
calling that we could ever have, is to come to
maturity so that we can fully do what he's called
us to do, and he do what he designed us
to do in the earth and fulfill his plans and purposes.
(23:09):
So that's just our encouragement today, press onto maturity.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yes, very well said. And on that note, we will
land this plane, we will land this planet by reminding
you to take your faith to the innth degree.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Oh so good. I wanted to end on that. Let
that so, But we do want you to share this
out because people need to hear this. This might be
a message that people need to hear. Okay, now go yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Okay, take your faith to the inst degree. So good.
Did you know that fifty seven percent of people are
actively searching for their purpose and twenty one percent have
just given up. That means only twenty two percent of
people actually know their purpose. And guess what of those
majority of people who are searching for their purpose, they
(00:22):
are feeling stuck and overwhelmed and confused, frustrated, and it
even leads to depression. Well, guess what, God has a
better way. And I am inviting you to free masterclass
purpose and passion because not only were you called to
have passion, but you are called to have passion on purpose.
(00:47):
You are called for an assignment for such a time
as this, and this is a great time to step
into the more that you've been feeling God has for you,
But you didn't know how to figure out how you're
going to address the three biggest challenges that keep you
from being passionately on purpose. Won't you join me? Well,
(01:23):
hello there, welcome to the nth degree. Donna and I
have been getting down to business this morning. We want
to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yes, indeed, we have praise the Lord Jesus Christ. We
exolve him. It's just phenomenal being a child of God

(02:29):
It's a privilege, and it also blows my mind every time.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So what we were doing this morning,
we just realized that we were pressing into the mature
things of the Lord, and Hebrews six one says, therefore,
let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and
be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation
(02:56):
of repentance from acts that lead to death, faith in God,
an instruction about Oh, I don't like this. This is
the NIV. It says cleansing rights instead of baptisms, laying
on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
So he what this verse is saying that these things
(03:17):
are foundational and these are the elementary teachings. And I
don't know how about you, Donna, but I haven't resurrected
the dead very often, well well dead things.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It's interesting that you say it like that, because I
could say, well, there's times I think I have contributed
to what Father wanted you to raise a dead Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, you're right, there are there are things.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Have I seen a physical body? Do that I have
breath come back into it? No, I have, like Lazar, No,
not yet.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, but have I.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Prayed person that have contributed to these things? Yes, I
would undoubtedly agree with that.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I have.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Interesting. So that verse in case you guys are listening

and shout that to the universe, I would say. Remember
when the disciples who had grown up in the Jewish community,
but they said to the Savior, teach us how to pray.
We're not sure how to do this. What is this
thing praying? And he said right away, he pointed not
(07:48):
to his will, but to the Father's will. And he said,
in order to pray, you're going to pray the Father's will.
You're going to pray his kingdom. That's he didn't say,
that's why you're here, But this is why you have
breath in a mouth and lips, and.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
It is to pray.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
But it's not to pray according to your will, because
let me tell you, your soul will take you against
the will of God if you're not careful, because your
soul's very emotional. But the manifest wisdom of God is
that he left Holy Spirit here in the europ for
our leaning upon him. So my exhortation to you is
(08:27):
to lean more heavily on him, really lean like leaning
so much that's you're off balance. You feel off balance
you're leaning on Holy spirit so hard, and that from
that position you receive the will of Father. As to
how to pray for someone.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Okay, I found those verses. It's actually a Fijians five.
So let me read those two Heresians five eight, Ephesians five, nine,
and ten. Let me just say that, for the fruit
of light is found in all that is good, right
and true, and try to discern what is pleasing to
(09:08):
the Lord. Okay, so let me just back up to seven. Therefore,
do not become partners with them. Okay, back up to six.
Let no one deceive you with empty words. Because of
these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons
of disobedience. Therefore, do not become partners with them. For
one time you are in darkness, but now you are
light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. For
(09:30):
the fruit of light is found in all that is good,
right and true. And try to discern what is pleasing
to the Lord. So, in other words, get his will
on a thing, right, and try to discern means you
can discern, right, I can look it up in a different.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
No, no, no, that's fine, that's the ESV.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But right, this is when I pointing out the word
try to the American mind is like, oh, but I
might fail. But no, you can't think like that. If
you're encouraged to try, that means you're encouraged to succeed.
So by faith, if you mix face with that faith
with that verse, that means you can discern. Believing that
you can discern the will of the Lord, or what
(10:11):
pleases him, asking him, leaning on him, searching out, seeking
first the kingdom. Those are the verses that also go
with that.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, the NIV says, find out what pleases the Lord.
And then remember we were talking about wake o sleeper.
It's right here next Ephesians five fourteen. Therefore it says,
a wake o sleeper and rise from the dead, and
Christ will shine on you. So they're quoting an old testament.
I think that's probably in Isaiah somewhere. Sure it comes
sounds like Isaiah's talkin.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah it does, but that go ahead, and.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
So then the next time it says that it's right
there after in Ephesians five point fifteen. Look carefully, then,
how you walk not as unwise? But why this is
all about maturity, making the best use of time, because
the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but
understand what the will of the Lord is.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yes, So there you have it. Ladies and gentlemen. You
are designed with the capacity and the ability in Jesus
to discern the will of Father.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And you can hear from him.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yes, And so you can hear from him. You can
receive impressions from him. You can receive a dream from him.
You can receive Jesus meeting you in heavenly places and
telling you. You can receive any being like an angel
of a holy angel to visit your atmosphere where you're like, whoa,
what do you have for me? A messenger angel? That
(11:42):
happened in the Bible. We're not going off the deep
in here. That's normal for the Christian.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Right and I wasn't even taking it to the NS degree.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's right, right, that baby pool step right. So so,
but you can. So the exhortation to your heart today
is expand your belief that you can discern what makes
Baba happy. You can discern what is the will of
Jesus as King and he wants to have ruling dominion
(12:10):
in the earth through you in your mouth? What is
Holy Spirit impressing you on or just passing thought. These
are These are the seeking of the Kingdom about issues
in your very life. He cares for you, he knows
what's going on, he wants to help. He has every
resource available to you. You just have to receive the
(12:33):
flow of that and how to get in it to
walk it out. And this is done by waking up
your spirit.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Right, and this in general and also in specific. So
in general, and you know, I'm all about finding your
purpose and then lighting yourself on fire to go after it.
So purpose and passion, I'm all about that. In fact,
I'm doing a masterclass on that. But here's the in
(13:03):
the specific too. If you want to pray for someone,
you kind of want to either get some specifics to
pray about or just ask the Lord for specifics. To
be very direct and strategic in your prayers so that
you can target the thing, not just in general, oh
bless them, Lord, but really specifically. And I am coming
(13:27):
off of a forty hour fast. I was specifically praying
for a friend of mine to get pregnant, and the
Lord was giving me specific strategies to pray for what
that looks like. And I looked up the verses that
talk about bearing children you know, come overcoming barrenness that
the you know everything that has to do with birthing
(13:48):
and fruit and those kinds of things, and the Lord
had me put those together and personalize them. And so
that was one of the strategies that I got from
Heaven to be very specific about what you're praying for.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Very and I think Heaven just outdoes itself when you
set your heart to intercede for another or here's another scenario,
when you are ministering one on one with someone. You
and I do that a lot. We have the capacity
to hear from Heaven and He'll use everything to help us.
(14:25):
And what my favorite is is the closeness of his
presence that drops into your heart and knowing you had
no knowledge of Some people may call that a word
of knowledge. That word knowledge is fine, but in knowing
on how to help somebody get free, because listen, God
(14:46):
is all about getting people free. He's all about free.
Jesus is every time. He's just so all about it,
like that's what he is missioned on earth was free us, but.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It's broken hearted and set the cap free.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, that the captain is free and he led them captive.
You know from the depths of the earth. But he
led captivity captives. Sorry, he's got Hebrews. And I think
that what's just every time I give with him in
this heart stance, his frequency of I want to free
(15:24):
that person. I want to free that person. I want
to free that person. And sometimes the people don't even
know they're bound or enslaved. They don't even know that
they have a mentality they can't get free of, or
they have a broken heart that's causing them not to
see truth. And there's just so many ways. But God
is so about it. He's so about it, And I
(15:46):
love the resources of heaven that are available to us.
Open your heart to the resources of heaven, and ask
your heavenly father, Father, out of all the storehouses of heaven,
whatever is available for me to help this person I'm
ministering to get free. Would you deliver that to me
or to her or him?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, And that is definitely a stepping into the maturity
and understanding how to interface, engage, participate, co labor, co create,
whatever the words you want to use all of the
above with Heaven to get a thing done in the earth,
whatever that looks like. That is the hallmark of maturity.
(16:29):
To be able to do that, to get his will
for a situation and then execute it well. And when
you hear things like when Donna and I were getting
down to business this morning, we heard some things that
may have sounded crazy to someone who hasn't looked into
all of the schemes of the enemy. And so if
(16:50):
you hear something, if you hear or feel or sense
something odd strange, research it, look it up. Say what
are you saying to me here, so that you can
better articulate and bring what you're seeing or sensing or
hearing in heaven into the earth through your voice. Either
you're declaring a thing, you're coming into agreement with what
(17:13):
the Lord said about a thing. But if you don't
understand what he is saying, you won't properly articulate it.
So don't be afraid of the weird stuff, the nth
degree kind of stuff. Research it. Look it up. If
the Lord says something you have free a captive that's
in a test tube, what do you mean, Lord, show
(17:34):
me it should be more.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, there's been a couple of times where in prayer
I would just bust out laughing because my natural intellect
and brain was like blown and trying to make sense
of this, you know, process, process, process, But what will
come out of my mouth is one I was like,
I would be praying by the unction of the Spirit,
(17:56):
and I would be praying in English with him, and
I would pray, it would pause and go, Jesus, is
that even a thing?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Oh my gosh, how many times have I said that?
Like I didn't know that was a thing.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You know, like, stay the course, let's it's okay, But
later to go, okay, Lord, where would you want to
teach me about that? Or where would you want me
to receive instruction from that?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
This Holy Spirit is the one He really wants to
give it to you, but you're not making time for
it because that requires listening. And oh boy, have had
to learn that lesson and to sit and listen is
to be taught by the Lord is just it's it's
wonderful Saturday.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
And so if you're asking where is that in the Bible,
it's in Oh here I go again, not remembering Hebrews.
And it's have nothing to like he I've got Ephesians
open over here, got brain over here, Yeah, exactly, two
great books. It has says, has nothing to do with
the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. So
(19:07):
you doing the research and exposing them, is you stepping
into aure more mature understanding of what the Lord might
call you to do to release the captives in those situations,
or you know, give you better tools to do that
if the if the Lord is calling you to see
(19:28):
a thing, then you're supposed to do something about it,
right right, yeah, and you can. You have you have
the ability and.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You do have that authority. It is amazing to me
how patient the Lord is with us. Then he works
with us so we get it. Like, I mean, I
just had something in my own life happened. I'm not
going to go on all the details, but I mean
I was aware of something on like a Wednesday. Today
(19:58):
is the following two day, and finally yesterday morning, I
was like, oh, and I you know, you feel like
a child first grade. But it's okay. That's a beautiful
state of being with the Lord and there and then
he's connecting the dots for you because you didn't get
(20:19):
the resolution. You're still praying about it, right, I started
praying about it on Wednesday, But you're still praying about it.
And he's like already answer to you. You're like, I
missed it? How did you answer me? Lord? And the
slightest impression upon your heart? Folks, I cannot stress that enough.
I have more invitation to the spirit realm. I actually
move into the spirit room and talk to the Lord
(20:40):
more and listen to him and received from him, because
he initiates it with a very slight impression. He is
a small, still voice. He is a breeze on the wind.
He is an invitation. He will not force down the door.
And if your heart is cold to him, go ask
for flends, go ask for help, because a heart that's
(21:03):
warm to him receives the slightest touch, just the slightest nudge,
And then you're like, okay, I felt that.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Let's talk about that, and you can practice that just
even in little decisions throughout the day. Lord, what do
you say about this and go with it? Go with
whatever the first little inkling is, or especially if it's
opposite of what you would usually do, or opposite of
something that is soulish. You know, give more than you
(21:36):
thought you were going to give, or you know or or.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
There's just so many ways. I have a lifetime full.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Of this exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You know, examples the other day, I have known for
a couple of weeks I need to purchase an item.
And so when you finally get to the you know,
the you know, you're researching, okay, the ite of my need,
the side of my need, and I'm like, okay, I'm
this size, and right away I'm like, I'm supposed to
get the bigger size, more expensive, more but I'm supposed
(22:08):
to get the bigger size. I've decided him. And I'm like, okay,
that's a stretch for my faith. Almost like the Holy
Spirit like is like, yeah, okay, so why you're like,
oh I get it now, just stretch for my faith.
It's gonna build me.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
So good. All right, So we just encourage you to, yeah,
press on toward maturity so that you can say, second
Pimothy for seven that said I ran the race, I
fought the fight, and I kept the faith. So you know,
or there's also the Versus says, well done, good and
(22:47):
faithful servant. You know, we want to we want to
come to full maturity. It's our it's it's the highest
calling that we could ever have, is to come to
maturity so that we can fully do what he's called
us to do, and he do what he designed us
to do in the earth and fulfill his plans and purposes.
(23:09):
So that's just our encouragement today, press onto maturity.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yes, very well said. And on that note, we will
land this plane, we will land this planet by reminding
you to take your faith to the innth degree.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Oh so good. I wanted to end on that. Let
that so, But we do want you to share this
out because people need to hear this. This might be
a message that people need to hear. Okay, now go yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Okay, take your faith to the inst degree. So good.
