(00:50):
It's time to get started. Hi, and welcome to the podcast.
This is Christy Kennell coming out of Brookville HOW Warship
saying hello to you. Hope that you're having a wonderful day.
I pray that you are blessed in the Lord and
in the power of His mind, walking in your purpose
that He purposed for you. I'm excited about today's podcast.

(01:13):
This is a story that I encountered many times reading
through the Old Testament and loving the book of Nehemiath.
You have your Bible handy, you can turn to Nehamiath.
Today on the podcast, it's time to turn up our enthusiasm,
build up our pain threshold, and grab a hold of
some great tools to rebuild the Temple of God. And

(01:35):
may or may not be talking about the actual temple
of God. Okay, so I in a way, I'm talking
about our bodies also. But in the story, they are
rebuilding the Temple of God, the actual taking the stones
in the wood and putting the Temple of God together.
So we're going to get in there and we're going
to watch him. It's like watching a movie. We're going
to see what they do. Only this really happened. This

(01:57):
is based on a very true story. It is a
true story. None of the facts have been changed. It's
the word of God and it's an example for us.
And these guys did amazing things. So today on the podcast,
we'll see that there are strength in numbers and that
unity goes a long way. Our Christian walk is kind
of like a game of chess. It's a waiting game.

(02:20):
You make a strategic move with prayer, fasting, scripture, worship.
I'm taking an action, and then your opponent makes a move,
you have to counteract it with a move. A game
of chess can last as long as it takes before
someone captures the other's king. You don't want to be
the one in checkmate. You want to be the one
putting checkmate on somebody. And I know I might be

(02:41):
murdering this. I am not a chess player. I'm intrigued
by it. Jess never sat down to do it. And
you know what, after thinking about this, I think I
want to learn at least the basics. So don't let
the enemy capture you. Don't let the enemy capture your king,
especially not your king. Right we're in a kingdom. I

(03:02):
have to give a shout out to champ Champagne has
been on a couple of the podcasts and we love
to talk about the Word of God, and we're both
in worship and we love to talk about worship. And
champ was the one who got the revelation last night
we were at a church function, and so I'm just
just taking the concept from it in case she teaches
on this. I don't want to take her idea, but

(03:22):
I just thought it was really it really fit in
and I couldn't resist tossing that in there because it's
so true. I just this is what we want to
learn today. You know, we ask God for something, or
we see the vision and we think, like at he split,
God is God. We saw Jesus touching people and they
were instantly healed, and that's going to happen for us.
And then we wait and we wait, we get discouraged,

(03:43):
we get frustrated, we get angry. Or do we just wait?
Do we wait and pray and fast? Do we take
on our next assignment and just do our assignments daily
and just take care of the Kingdom of God? I
don't know how did you approach it? So many Christian
believers become frustrated, experience and patience, anger, wanting to move up.

(04:04):
Some rehears their struggles over and over again. They loop
it into their conversation. You can see this person in
two years later, they're still talking about the same problem,
and you're thinking, oh, when what's going on there? Why
haven't they advanced in the kingdom? Why haven't they advanced
in their life? Why have they advanced in their healing,
in their skills and their strategies? And so I'm thinking

(04:29):
about the I can't mean the name of it, that
the pool in the New Testament. I apologize. I'm suddling
a little bit here. The paralyzed man who was lying
by the pool, and Jesus walked in and he asked him,
do you want to be healed? And so many of
us have tried to interpret that, they've done sermons on it.
And when Jesus asked the guy the question do you

(04:52):
want to be healed? He didn't say yes or no.
He said, nobody's helping me into the pool. When the
pool has stirred and gets healed, I can't get there. Therefore,
I've been laying here for years and years and years
because nobody would help me, and that mindset nobody will
help me. Nobody will help me. It can paralyze you
and leave you laying there besides some other source other

(05:14):
than your God, the Christian God. Yah wah, these are
like God. Yeah, wayh it can. It can turn your
focus to the pool and you could be lying there
for a year after year after year waiting for that
pool to stir to get your healing. Or you can
pick up your bed and walk. You can pick up

(05:35):
your bed and walk, and you have to ask the
Holy Spirit for interpretation on that. What does that mean
to me? Lord? Well, first of all, don't focus on
the pool, don't focus on the stirring the waters. Focus
on Jesus Christ. Focus on the Holy Spirit's guidance and leading.
Focus on the Word of God. You know, Jesus is
the Word and that is where our focus needs to be.

(05:58):
It shouldn't be on this bull that we're lying beside,
paralyzing us. You know, the Kingdom of God is real.
Having said that, you know we all need support and
we need those people in our lives who understand us,
understand our call, that are willing to jump in beside us,
fight the good fight, honor the call, and in honoring
the call, follow God's will and plan. We all need

(06:20):
to build up a race story the Kingdom of God.
We need to fight the good fight, need to keep
the faith, and we need to endure to the end.
If you feel alone in your battle, hang in there
until the end. Don't give up. Don't lie down on
your mat and go on perilous. They can't move unless
somebody helps me. Pray, pray, pray, Son, Jesus, send the

(06:41):
Word of God, Holy Spirit, show me the scriptures, what
is my next right move? Even if I can't give
get up, I'm not giving up. Show me what the
next right move is. Because it's a waiting game. Okay,
you might be a person who walks away from a
game like chess or even monopol but there's waiting in it.

(07:03):
There's planning, there's little moves along the way that you're
taking your little assignments along the way to get to
that big vision, get to that big plan, to get
to that point where so many of your skills and
gifts are being used. Because we're all born with gifts,
it's just up to us whether we use them or not,
whether we perfect them or not, which kingdom we're going
to use them for, but we all have them. The

(07:26):
gifts are irrevocable, the Bible says. So the truth is
only in following God with all of your heart, your soul,
your mind, your body, your strength, all of your life.
Can you truly find peace, joy and contentment. You know
healing will come. We can find our true identity, We
can find our worth, our true purpose, the thing that

(07:48):
drives us, the thing you know, do what you love
and you know are you satisfied in that? Are you
loving what you're doing. Are you making a difference in
others lives? Are you leaving a mark on the squorld?
These are all questions we need to ask ourselves. Only
God knows our true identity and the plan because he

(08:09):
wrote it before the creation of the earth. And if
you've listened to any of my podcasts, hopefully you can
even quote it by now so I'm one thirty nine sixteen,
because it tells us he wrote our plan before the
beginning of time. And you know there are times in
the Word where it says he unrolled the scroll. Well
just ask him, say, Father God, I don't roll my scroll.
What is your plan for me today? What's my next

(08:30):
right move? You know? What is my If you don't
know yet, what's my purpose? Why was I born? Because
we all have one. So if you feel like you
don't if you feel like you're invisible, if you're miserable,
if you're depressed because you don't know what to do,
ask the Lord God yahweh ask his Holy Spirit to
give you revelation, to fill you up, and to turn

(08:52):
on the things of God. To turn on your spiritual eyes,
turn on your spiritual ears, wake up your spiritual senses
because it exists. It all exists, the good, the bad,
the evil, the lovely, the true, the loving, the kindness
compassions in the world. Ask God to wake you up
to it, to melt your stony heart, give you a

(09:13):
heart of flesh, turn on your love, you know, and
to feel God's love. To give God's love to others.
It's out there. Grab a hold of it. Get up
and do something with your life. And don't worry about
what others think of you. Only worry about what God
thinks of you. Only think about acting in love. Only
think about reading the Bible and doing what it says.

(09:35):
That's how you're going to break out of this this
thing that you're in. If you're tired of being broken poor,
exhausts to stick alone, you can prosper and be in
health as your soul prospers. What is your soul. It's
your mind, your will, and your emotions. I know Christians
are around a lot of terms, and I always try
and tell you on a very practical level what we're

(09:55):
talking about. And so the soul is the things that
are part of our body, you know, the mind that
we have, our thoughts that we have, how we act
on those thoughts, whether we choose God or not, whether
we choose to be kind or not in a moment,
to love or not in a moment, that is part
of your soul. Your emotions are part of your soul.

(10:15):
Your emotions can take over and mess you up real good,
or your emotions can be part of your decisions that
you make to make the right choices and to do
the right thing. So you know, emotions aren't even necessarily
a bad thing. And we're going to see some of
that too as I go. So who wants to prosper
in sixty one hundred percent in your time here on earth?

(10:36):
I know I do? How can we do it? While
you seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness
Matthew six thirty three, Begin to apply this to your
life by focusing on God and God alone and putting
his kingdom first in your relationship with Him and your interests,
your relationships with others, and especially your focus. If you

(10:57):
focus on the desires of God's heart, what is that? Well,
when there's a tragedy, go help those in the tragedy.
When somebody is suffering, poor, lonely, broken in jail, go
see them, pray for them, give gifts, give hugs, give money,
weather grass like, just start to function in the Kingdom
of God and just continually asking God. It's so easy,

(11:19):
Like you don't have to worry or fear of God.
Just start talking to him just like you would your
favorite friend or the friend you wish you had, or
the mom or dad you wish you had. He's there,
So just talk to him that way, you know, don't
I don't know what to do next. I don't know
if this is the right thing. Am I doing? Okay?
Have you forgiven me? You know? Am I doing your will? Lord?

(11:40):
Just talk to him because he's listening and he's going
to help you through all of it. He promises that
in his word. So let's go ahead and go to Namayah.
And we're starting right in the very beginning, chapter one,
verse one, and it says, these are the memoirs of Namayah,
the son of Hakalayah. I'm just gonna say it. I
don't know if some males we always say this, if

(12:02):
you know how to pronounce it, just you know, just
forget me if I murdered it or something like that.
But I'm just reading that part of it because then
we know who wrote the book. Namayah wrote the book himself,
so this is right straight out of his brain and
out of his long short term memory, which is really awesome. Okay.
And like I said, it's a true story. Like none

(12:23):
of the facts are changed, none of the names are changed.
This really really happened in the Old Testament of the
Bible thousands of years ago. So Niamayah asked his brother
and some men that were with him about Jerusalem. The
answer revealed in Niamyah one, verses three and four. They

(12:44):
said that there was great trouble and disgrace in the
province of Judah. And we'll see, as you read throughout
the Bible, Judah had a worship team and they were
sent to do worshiping many times. And if you just
keep that in mind, that Judah was the worshipers, all right.
So then the second bit of news, the wall of

(13:04):
Jerusalem had been torn down, the gates had been destroyed
by fire and the miasis. When I heard this, I
sat and wept. In fact, for days, I mourned, I fasted,
and I prayed, And then I stopped to think about that.
Do we get upset, do we get that upset about
the temple of God, because number one, he doesn't have

(13:26):
one here on earth anymore, he doesn't need one, but
it was destroyed and never rebuilt. In fact, something else
is in its place. So do we get upset about that?
Do we mourn and pray for days? And then the
Bible says that our bodies are the temple of God?
So do we mourn, fast and pray for days? Because

(13:47):
our bodies aren't built to a point where they should
reflect the glory of God to where we are healthy
and nourished, nourished and living and enjoying contentment and peace
and trusting God for everything and refusing to fear and worry.
Are we there? And if we're not there, are we

(14:09):
upset about that? In a way that we're going to
go to God and we're gonna weep about it and
we're gonna take days and morning fast and pray about it.
I mean, this really made me think. And then in
chapter two, Niam Mayah is going about his daily business
and living his normal life. Ni and Maya served the king.
That was his job, and so he got up that

(14:31):
day he continued to work while he petitioned God about
this matter in Jerusalem that was breaking his heart. You know,
the Bible says Proverbs eighteen sixteen, a man's gift makes
room for him and brings him before great men. And
I thought about Niamiah working for the king and how
this affects his story. And you'll see that I'm going
through this, But like, what are we doing with that?

(14:53):
We are all born with gifts, I said earlier. They're
irrevocable according to Romans eleven twenty nine. So we have them,
whether we serve God with them or not. Are we
going before great men and the influence of those great
people to build and rebuild the Kingdom of God, the
Temple of God. That's a good question, and I've been

(15:18):
thinking about that. So the kingdom is sitting Himyah was
not his usual self, and he asked if he was
deeply troubled. He saw that Namiyah was very sad. He
just he saw he was off his game, and it
says Neomiah became terrified. And I kind of want to
highlight that because I've seen where Christians are sometimes very

(15:39):
they seem to be very uncomfortable around people who are emotional,
as if they're not trusting God. And I just wanted
to point out here, Naamiyah was emotional. He got very sad,
and he wasn't even able to hide it from the
king that he was serving his employer. So things do
show up on us even when we don't realize it,

(16:01):
and we have to have patience for that for each
other and pray for each other and hold each other
up and support each other when we can. There there
are times when we maybe dwell on it too long
or spend too much mourning. I mean, God told him
to quit mourning. Moses and Samuel and the Bible. There
are times when God says, okay, enough, let's move on.
You don't want to be that person that's stuck there

(16:21):
looping about their problem or mourning over something that happened
long ago. You know you have to move on. But
if you're sad about something legitimately sad, then you're sad.
It doesn't mean that you've fallen. It doesn't mean that
you're a sinner, it doesn't mean that you're not mature
as a Christian. You're just sad, and we should really

(16:43):
help each other through those times. And then verse three
says me and Maiah is terrified but replies to the
king anyway, So He did it scared. He did it afraid.
And sometimes when we're called into something it's so big
that we do get afraid doing this right? And am
I sure I heard God? Am I supposed to move?

(17:04):
Am I supposed to quit the job? You know? Whatefft
is that God is asking you to do? Are you afraid?
And if it lines up with His word and it
brings peace in your life as far as helping out
the Kingdom of God, advancing the Kingdom of God, sometimes
you got to do it scared. Sometimes you just have
to do it, even if Nolway's looking responding or acting

(17:27):
upon it, even in the moment, just follow through whatever
it is, and just do it between you and God,
let him love on you as his daughter and some
and just know that you are helping out the Kingdom
of God and helping out the desires of God's heart,
you know. And so maybe I was terrified. But he
replied to the king anyway, He told him like you know,

(17:49):
he was sad and that you know, there was trouble
in jude in the province of Judah and Jerusalem, and
that he wanted to go rebuild the city. And so
I'm going to skip down here. I have mine, it's
in front of me. In verse four, me back it

(18:10):
up here a little bit with a prayer to the
God of Heaven. It said, so Nia and Mya prayed
before he responded to the king. And we should follow
that example. We should always ask Holy Spirit, even when
you open your eyes in the morning, pause, don't start
up on anything else in your life until you pause.
Tell Yah Way that you love him, and just say

(18:32):
the day is in front of me, Lord, and I
need to hear your voice, Holy Spirit. I need to
know what the next assignment is. And then just love
on God. You know, God, You're just in that mighty
awesome God. And I know that You're going to order
my steps today and I'm going to walk in your will.
I want to do what you say to do, and
I want to be what you say I should be.
And then follow what he says is be obedient. When

(18:54):
you open the word and you read it, do it,
you know, follow through prayer to the God of Heaven.
Niemiah replied to the king, and I remembered in this
moment that the king was his employer and the master
that he served. Because he asked the King his employer
his master. He said, send me to Judah to rebuild

(19:15):
the city where my ancestors are buried. He didn't say,
can I have some pto? He said, can you send me?
So that means resources from the employer, from the king
of the kingdom, from his master that he was a
servant to. That was a big move. I think when

(19:36):
I approached someone higher in my employment to ask for
something to rebuild the Kingdom of God, I'm thinking about that.
I'm thinking about that because he prayed for the favor
of God upon him in front of the king that
he could get his request, and God honored that. So
in verse six, the king asked Namayah for the details.

(19:56):
The king wanted to know how long will you be
gone and when will it be that you return? And
Niamayah had the plan in mind. He had already counted
the costs, and so he was able to answer the king,
I'll be gone this long. But I noticed he didn't
say when he would return. He didn't really give him
a timeframe. So he was abandoning everything to stop his

(20:18):
life and move over there to Judah and rebuild the
temple for his God. That is beautiful to me. It's
beautiful to me. That took a lot, you know. And
then Niamiah requested and received upfront legal documents to travel

(20:38):
safely through the other foreign territories, and the king said yes.
And not only that, but the king voluntarily sent along
his army officers and his horsemen to protect Namayah. So
did this employer, this king of the kingdom, the leader.
He he supplied Namayah with the legal documents, his safety

(21:03):
officers and horsemen to guard and protect him his entire journey.
Isn't that amazing? That's what happens when we step out
with prayer and we do what God asks us to do,
and He supplies us with everything that we need. It's
just the way it goes. And then boom, next we
see the first action of the enemy. The enemy heard

(21:24):
the plan. They didn't see it. They heard it, and
they heard that there's a plan to rebuild Jerusalem. And
they am trying to find here where wrote it. Anyway,
they were mad. They were upset. It's sand Bellet the

(21:45):
hero Knite and Tobiah the Ammonite. They were upset that
someone was coming to help Israel. They were very displeased
about it. So when we start out to rebuild the
cannon of God. We will get opposition, and we need
to just tighten up our relationship with God. Every day
that we're alive on this planet, we should be moving
in closer and closer and closer and closer to our God,

(22:09):
just getting closer to him, praying to him, submitting to him,
doing what he says, obeying him, let him lead us
and guide us in the plan that he wrote for us,
so that we do what we're supposed to do here
and live for him. It's the best plan. We need
to make sure we have our armor on, be prayed up,
spend time in the word, seeking God first above all else.

(22:32):
This gets us ready for our battles, because, as we
see here, the moment the enemy heard it, became displeased
and it started a plan against him. And he was
on his way to Jerusalem. He hadn't even gotten there
yet or even started to build the temple. So this
is what I was saying in the beginning about the
chest game. You know, we get this vision and this

(22:55):
plan from God and then it's you know, we're snapping
our fingers at him. Where is it? I'm so mad
at you. I need this for this I need that
for that. I would like to have this. I would
like to have that. I'm thinking that God is going
to respond rare way. But he's rolled out the scroll.
He's got your plan in his hands. If you leave
him as Lord and God of your life and you

(23:17):
don't take over and make yourself Lord and God of
your life, then you have to sit on that chest
spot or on that place in your Monopoly game of life,
and you need to just stand there and wait on
the Lord until he rolls the dice or he makes
his next strategic move, and then you take your step.
This isn't clap clap, Jump God Jump, And I'm not

(23:41):
I'm praying that I'm not in your reverend when I
say that, But it's prideful. It is. And I think
that a lot of us, if not all of us,
could admit that we've been there before we understood the
love of God and his plan and how it works
to just oh, we see the big picture and wow,

(24:01):
we want that, not understanding what it takes to get there.
You know, the enemy was displeased. The enemy fears Christian
believers who were on the move to advance or repair
the Kingdom of God. He fears it. He doesn't want
that to happen. He hates us, he hates the Kingdom
of God, and he hates God. He doesn't want it
to happen. So he's going to plan. So you will
have things come at you. You can be sidelined, things

(24:24):
can go wrong. It's just part of the whole thing.
But that the enemy tends to use patterns and antics
to stop your call us is stopping us, stops our
purpose and help that we could bring many others while
we're here. He doesn't want the kingdom to advance. Resist it.
How submit to God, go into his word, pray fast,

(24:46):
do what he wants you to do. When he asks
you to do it, say yes and move. Say yes
and move. Be obedient. That's the biggest thing. When you
see it, you know you don't have to analyze it
over and over. Turn it around, call ten friends, and
you know, take your choices down fifty percent and hope
you pick the right one. You heard him, go do it.
If you mess up, he'll be there with you. He'll

(25:08):
help you. He knows your heart and you're trying to
do it right, and he'll turn it around. Because he
wants the plan as much as you do. In fact
more I'm sure. Okay, so we we also something I
wanted to point out in religion, many times there are

(25:29):
people in charge who sideline you and they decide when
new lunch. When you come in close to God and
you make a relationship with God and you become obedient
to God, you don't have to wait on somebody to
launt you. God will bring you everything you need. God
will bring you everything you need. That's fate, that is
what exists in the other realm, that pulls into this

(25:52):
realm and moves things around in this realm so that
you can advance the kingdom and come through with the
plan that He's put on you. He doesn't give you
a planet around walk away. God is there every step
of the way, and everything you need is already in
the storehouse for you. Just trust God. That's what brings
it over. Be obedient, that's what brings it over. You

(26:15):
can stop it by being dissiplated, by running, by fearing,
by giving the devil credit, by becoming a lord of
your own life, but making your own decisions, by getting impatient,
by doing what you want. Don't don't just wait on
the Lord and let him come through for you each
and every time. You know, you might go out and
pick the building, or you can set back and get
up in the morning and open the Word up and

(26:37):
you know, meditate on the Word and say, God, was
my next move. And then you're driving to work and
you see a building and next thing you know, you're
in it. You don't have to fast and pray for
thirty days and beg God and call ten friends to
pray with you and all of that. Sometimes you do.
If you're in the middle of a battle in the
building's yours and the devil gets in the way, and
the evil came and was fighting you, there is time
to call in warriors and intercessors and worshippers and say, hey,

(27:00):
we're going after this. God supplied it. But I'm meaning
walk but for you to just go out and choose
on your own and your own will, with your own
emotions and your own strength something and then say, okay, God,
keep up. That's a whole different ball game. And I
pray that everyone's eyes are open to that follow His
will and it falls to you. It comes to you.

(27:21):
There might be some opposition, but God helps you with that.
God will wipe off the enemy and sometimes I'll let
you fight to build up your strength for the next move.
It gets exciting once you get in this frame of
mind by God. Right now, I just pray that you
just open the eyes and ears to the spiritual side
of this Father. God, change the mindset. Lord, put them
in the frame of mind that they understand this. This

(27:42):
is truth. There is God's timing for everything. When Christians
getting patient and give up, usually in the waiting, you know,
we see the vision, but we are willing to trust
and wait on the Lord to bring it to pass.
That's it. Don't lose your battle in the waiting. It's
just way waiting. It's just waiting for the next move.

(28:04):
And I pray that God is the master who's moving
my chest piece, because I look at the chess board,
I certainly don't I don't know clue. I don't have
a clue. By You're always saying this one, put it
over here, and then I just walk over to that
spot and then I'm waiting again. And it's hard. It's hard,

(28:25):
especially with healing, when you're in pain or you know,
you have all these complications. Maybe you're exhausted, maybe you're fatigued,
maybe you lost your job, and you just want the
answer now. I just don't want to be in this
exhaustion father, I don't want to be in this place
of waiting and not knowing. But sometimes we just are.
Because he's waiting. The enemy is making a move, and

(28:46):
he is counteracting the move. He's waiting for somebody else
in their game of life to just be moved to
their position that lines up with our position, and then
we line up with him together and we end up
working together, side by side. There's more than we can
ask to think or imagine in the plans of God,

(29:06):
and this is why we trust him. He sees the
whole picture. You know, when a bunny rabbit jumps across
the road in front of you and you want to
slam on your brakes so that you don't run over
this rabbit. The rabbit just saw the grass on the
other side. The rabbit doesn't see the whole big picture
of you coming out of work that day and getting
in this great, big car and coming down this road

(29:27):
at fifty five miles an hour. The ribit just knows
it's going on the other side. And that's us, you know,
we don't see the whole big picture. God does, and
we have to trust him for that. And he has
to take a car and put its brakes on so
that you can hippity hop across the road and eat
your grass. Sometimes, you know, it's a waiting game. Waiting

(29:50):
isn't bad. It can be hard, but it's not bad.
And we can't get that confused. You know, me and
I had a waiting period. Don't tell me those legal
documents didn't think him five minutes lining up the armies
and the horsemen that went with him, the army officers,
the guys that were in charge, they had people under them,
they had plans of their own, they were running a kingdom.

(30:10):
That stuff takes time. And you don't see Nimia, you know,
you don't see the scripture with his name. I went
to the door kit knock it until the king answered,
and then told the king what to do. He just
went to buy his business, and when everything was lined up,
he got, you know, on his transportation, and they went
across you know, territories with the letter and arrived in Jerusalem.
And then on top of that, by the way, it

(30:31):
says he waited three days for his next move, and
that was very strategic. So whatever time It took for
the king to order and organize the legal documents, the
letters to assure his safety as he passed through the
foreign borders, organized the king's army officers and horsemen to
accompany him through foreign territories, and prochecked him along the journey.
It took time, and it is prid to say to God,

(30:51):
I see my vision, and I want it, and I
want it now. The Bible has numerous stories of people
who waited many, many years. It takes time to equip
someone with the mindset and the education, the experience, the strength,
and to go through a boot camp of sorts to
become strong enough to endure to the end, to fight,
to conquer in battle. So think about Joseph's trip from

(31:14):
his dream to his promise. I mean, he was falsely accused,
went to prison. He it was a mess, but his
dream came true. But it was years, and it was agony,
and it was waiting, and it was being in jail
when he was innocent. Moses was eighty, Joshua and Caleb
were old, Abraham and Sarah were old. The matter of

(31:36):
a woman in the New Testament who got healed and
straightened up loose from the infirmity. She was old, she
or I don't know if it told her age, but
she had been bent over for a very long time.
We mentioned the paraplegic by the pool. He was there
for thirty something years. Jerry's' daughter died. Lazarus died before

(31:56):
Jesus even got there to them. How do you think
Jerry felt when they came to him and said, your
daughter's dead, and what was he doing? He was waiting
on somebody else's miracle and his daughter dies. That's agony.
That's a grief beyond what many of us can even comprehend.
Lazarus died, their brother. They're crying, Lord, if he would

(32:19):
have just come, if you had just been here, he
wouldn't have died. Sometimes when we're waiting, bad things are
just agonizing for us. But God has a plan. He
Jesus resurrected that daughter. Jesus resurrected Lazarus. Sometimes life is
what it is. You know. Jesus himself was thirty three

(32:42):
years old when he went to the cross the death
and went through with resurrection to fulfill his whole purpose.
That was his dream. Can you imagine having that dream?
Those of us who think we're going to be comfortable
all our lives and become rich and run these great,
big ministries. We don't even know what that means. Do
you know what kind of boot camp that would take
to run a multi billion dollar ministry? And some of

(33:05):
you have that vision when you're three, four, five years
old and you think you're going to do this when
you're don you know. I mean, that's the exaggeration probably,
but that's kind of our mindset as human beings. I
thought about the Olympic ice skaters. I was going to
use as I think I will follow through with that.
So ice skaters for the Olympics. Okay, they're not born

(33:27):
ice skating. Wouldn't do any good to yell at their
coach when they're eight years old, Hey, I told you
I'm going to be an Olympic skater. That's dream. I
saw this vision. I saw, Now get me into a competition.
But they can't skate yet, and they're not effective at it.
Their overall body strength and balance are not balanced. They
don't have the will or determination to skate, the endurance

(33:50):
to skate eight to ten hours a day at least,
to build endurance for traveling miles on a plane, going
to a different time zone, practicing the same move over
and over and over, to the same music, over and
over and over daily, again and again and again and again.
Do they have the endurance for that when they first
decide that they want to go to the Olympics? Most

(34:13):
likely not. I'm sure there are maybe some rare cases.
But you know, screaming and alien at your coach. Hey,
I said, this was my vision and I want to
go tomorrow. Why would you do that? It's going to
take you a very long time to build up your endurance.
Change your diet, you know, and stick with it consistently
with the right diet to nourish your body, make your
bones strong and your muscles, build your muscles, and the

(34:36):
endurance of these long days. And like I said, the airplane,
the time zones. Are you thinking of all that out
of the gate? But your coach will? God does? And
even what if you end up being a mother Teresa,
or what if you have to live in poverty your
whole life? Are you ready for that? God can prepare
you for that? You can have joy and contentment and
piece in that. If that is your purpose and you're

(34:57):
living it. That's the idea of this whole thing, and
why are you there? Well, look how many people Mother Teresa. Help?
Can anybody I don't know if I've heard anybody. Maybe someone,
but I haven't hear anybody say anything mean or horrible
about Mother Teresa. It's always good. She was so giving,
she was so sweet, she was so humble Jesus Saint,
and yet she was like Jesus. She didn't, you know,

(35:19):
she didn't worry about worldly goods and everybody knowing your
name and all of that. It was just her purpose
in life. She was living it, and she was peaceful
and happy in doing that. She was a joy There
was joyful. She was joyful, she was content. She was
loving on people, and people were getting healed and benefiting
from her joy in living out the life the way

(35:40):
God intended her to live it. So let's not quit.
Let's not get weary and well doing. You know, your
call may have many aspects to it. It may be
simple either way. We must have the mind and a
durance of the Kingdom of God to effectively complete or
whatever it takes for follow through, and not to quit

(36:03):
or be taken out by the enemy. Trust God with
the process of our life. Just like Nia Mayah is
so Niya Mayah was following through. He gets there, and
then it talks about how he went out quietly at night,
he snuck around. He didn't tell anybody what he was doing,
not one person, and we need to take a hint

(36:24):
from that too. There are times when God wants us
to be quiet and not advertise everything that we're doing.
Sometimes God wants us to be invisible. Many times I've
been invisible. I have done some really cool stuff and
in my heart been all excited about it, and somebody
by name got credit for it. By God's saying, it's okay,

(36:44):
I didn't want you to have credit. I'm building something
in you. I don't want people to know that you're here.
I don't want people to know who did that, and
I don't all the glory. And if they got some glory,
then you're gonna learn to trust that. And it's okay
because it wasn't you anyway. This is the lesson, and
I learned it. You know. Sorry, I have to laugh,

(37:05):
but I think some of you have been there and
you're like, oh yeah, oh yeah. So he didn't tell
anybody and he snuck around at night. There's a time
when his donkey couldn't get through the rubble. His donkey
was his transportation, and he got sidelined a little bit there.
So he's sneaking around and then he has to go
out of his way and go a different way. So
that was it was a it was a change of mind,

(37:28):
It was a change in strategy. He might have put
himself at a little bit of a risk there being discovered.
It doesn't say, but that's going to happen too, you're
Sometimes it's not straight from A to B. Sometimes it
goes in different shapes and directions, and you have to
trust God, you know just how it goes. So then

(37:53):
we come to verse seventeen, chapter two, we know very
well what trouble we are in. And when Namaya was
talking to them and they were saying that they know
he was letting people in on the plane at this point,
and they said that they knew very well. I looked
at the word we, and that shows collectively, corporately, like
they were all on board. And so Namiya's plan was

(38:16):
he said, let us, in other words, we're in this
together as one unity. Rebuild the Wall of Jerusalem. Let
us end this disgrace, okay, and just pay attention to
this whole story, like, this is not instant healing and restoration.
Read on, is not instant healing and restoration. This it

(38:38):
gets intense. So he told them how the gracious hand
of God has been on him. And that's another thing
that I wanted to point out, because God has grace
for us. It's his power to work in us and
through us for the kingdom and our plan and his
love for us. It's to set things right. It's to

(38:59):
help us about the purpose, for the good of everything
and everybody, for the good of Him, for the good
of us, for the good of his kingdom. It's all
good with God. He has to work it out that way.
So they're saying, yes, we build the wall. So they
were in obedience to God. They were in unity, and
they began the good work. In other words, it was
immediate action. Verse eighteen. Okay, God is looking for immediate obedience. Okay.

(39:25):
Then we go from eighteen, where everybody's like rallying, like woo,
we're going to do this all together, reuniting. We're going
to do it to verse nineteen. The very next verse,
the enemy wants to also unite, and that and act immediately.
Apparently because the enemy is still conspiring and it starts
to grow. It goes from sam Bellat and Tobia to

(39:48):
adding on Gisham there. So now now they've got another
person in their little group and they want to come
against Namaya and his buddies. You know, the people of Judah,
the province of Judah. So don't be surprised by enemy attack.
The armed, be educated. Have your plan from God drawn
close to Yahweh God. Let the Holy Spirit coach you.

(40:10):
Connect with the Holy Spirit in God. Keep the lines
of communication open, have the Word of God open. Ask
the Holy Spirit to bring it alive to you to
be able to apply it to your life. Because the
enemy at this point turned it up. Now they're scoffing contemptuously. Okay.
In verse twenty, the Amias replied, the God of Heaven

(40:31):
will help us succeed. They are aligned and focused on Yahweh,
not themselves. Not the state of their health, is not
the state of their finance, is not, their family, not
their job, not the fear of the enemy. Just the
fight and realization that Yahweh was with them and Yahweh
was helping them succeed. They acknowledge that they're servants of

(40:51):
God and no one else. He is the Lord and
the God in the situation right now. He is the
master of the project. Gahwah is. None of them are
playing Lord here. None of them are doing it on
their own. None of them are acting in their flesh,
as we say, doing it their own way. Everybody's united
under God, one nation under God. They're and they're doing

(41:14):
this together and saying that God will succeed. We will
succeed because God is helping us. God is with us.
So whether we are physically building Jerusalem or spiritually his
kingdom on this earth, symbolic symbolic, symbolically, he's meetly rebuilding
our bodies as his temple, the Church of Christ, Body

(41:35):
of Christ? Are we rebuilding that? Right now? We know
the enemies coming against us, But what do we do?
We put our focus on God. God is helping us.
We will succeed. God is helping us. We will succeed.
God is helping us. We will succeed. Praise the Lord. Okay.

(41:56):
And then in chapter four it goes on to say
that sam Bellot was very now, very angry. So the
enemy was escalating, and again he heard what was going on.
So the whole way through this. The enemy heard. It
doesn't say that he came in saw or anything like that.
He heard. So I was saying about earlier when Meamiyah,
you may hear my pages turning. I apologize if that's

(42:18):
what it is. But you know, here Niyamyah being quiet
and not telling people his plans and things like that.
So there are times when the enemy hears what's going
on and then he starts to act. And so he's
scoffing and he's saying, what does the bunch of four
people just think they're doing. Do they think they can

(42:39):
build a wall in a single day or just offering
a few sacrifices, And nobody had mentioned that. So I'm
thinking in the enemy in his fear, he knows what
Christians can do when they unite. He knows what Israelis
can do when they unite. You know, the Ya always
got of us when God's on board. The enemy is

(43:02):
he just knows he's defeated. So his only act is
to come against us and try and defeed us, take
us out of the picture, so we can't help God,
you know. So he said, do they actually think this
is the enemy speaking? Do they actually think they can
make something of stones from a rubbish heap and charred

(43:22):
once that, Yeah, we can make beautiful ashes. God makes
beauty from ashes. Okay, get over to enemy. It's the
way it is. And I think about that too. I
was thinking about that too, the rubbish heap and the
charred the charred stones and things like that. You know,
there would be charred wood and things in there from

(43:43):
the old temple that they burn it down and ripped
off the gates and everything. How many of us, Lord
forgive us, have talked about our bodies that way? You know,
we're saying nasty stuff about our bodies. How we're almost
driving the rubbish heap and we're talking about it and

(44:04):
talking about the ashes of our past dwelling there. This happened,
and now I'm broken. You know, all the things that
we're saying out loud, are we agreeing with the enemy
or are we agreeing with God? In those moments, we
really need to watch what we say. We really need
to make sure we don't pick up those negative thoughts

(44:25):
and turn them into something that we are talking about ourselves,
as if our walls and our gates were burnt down
and ripped down, as the temple of God. You know,
we need to stand strong. Just pick up the rubbish heap,
move it out of the way. You know, anything that's
rubbish in our life, get rid of it, including past memories.

(44:47):
Let's move on. Okay, God can He's healed us from
that if we've asked him to, We're forgiven, We're delivered.
Let it go. It doesn't exist anymore. Let it go.
The past is gone. There's nothing you could do to
go visit and fix it. So the best thing to
do is let it go and walk with God. Walk
forward with God. Let him rebuild you, rebuild and go

(45:08):
on in peace, Be blessed, prosper as your soul prospers.
This is big news, you know. And he does. He'll
pick up the charge stuff and he'll make beauty out
of it. But God has to move as you let
him move. If you want to sit there and cry
and play sandbox with your ashes, God's not going to

(45:30):
force you to make better choices in that. He'll, you know,
he'll send things along and influence you. The Bibles are
to influence you. Christians are here to influence you, you know.
But you have to make a choice to get off
the mat and walk. You have to make a choice
to move the rubbish out of the way and start
to rebuild a beautiful new temple, beautiful new body, a

(45:53):
beautiful new life. Let the stuff the enemy did to
you be behind you. You get behind me, Satan, get
it behind you. You're so beautiful as a person. You're
an amazing person, and you have a special call in
your life. And when I say that, don't think it's

(46:13):
you're a preacher something. Let that. No, your call is
whatever God made it to be. You might have a
career that you're in that you just love, you know,
and that's your call. So be in your call. Follow
God in it, though, let him orchestrate your moves. Become
beautiful again. Don't sit there and play sandbox in your ashes,

(46:36):
in your rubble. You need, you need, He'll get behind you.
Pick up a beautiful stone and put it in place,
and get back and admire it. You know, I picked
up water today and I drank my water. Stand back
and go there's my first one. You know. I did
some pushups this morning. There's another stone. I walked a

(46:57):
mile today. There's another stone. I was good to somebody today.
There's another stone. I smiled a lot today. There's another stone.
It's a process. It's a process. It takes time. And
the whole time the enemy's mad and he's setting up
all these goofy things he does. And if you stop
every single time and cry about that and let the

(47:18):
enemy win, he's just gonna keep a rip on your
stones down. You have to just get before God and
submit to God and stand on his word and say,
I'm strong enough to do this because God is with me.
God himself is with me. This is God's plan. He's
backing me up. And get out there and get it done.
Get it done. You have the power to do that
through his grace. God's power itself helps you. God's Spirit

(47:44):
himself will be with you and be inside you. You know,
he'll baptize you with this holy spirit and he lives
within you and it brings everything alive. And then you
live with God as your God. You're building a beautiful temple.
Just stick with it, don't give up, don't give up,
don't give up. So I'm going to wrap this up.

(48:04):
But what happens is the enemy continues to come against them,
and it says, don't be afraid of the enemy. Remember
the Lord who is great and glorious and fight for
your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes. Okay,

(48:25):
because there was a point where this is what I
wanted to point out earlier. Judah the worshippers, the worship team,
and they're not all worship team, but I like to
refer to it that way because if you read the
Old Testament, you're going to see it in there, which
I think is cool because I love to worship God
with song and music and everything, and that's what they
were doing, their instruments and singing and all of that,
so I think that's really cool. But instead of worshiping God,

(48:48):
they were complaining. The people of Judas started to complain,
and I looked up the word complaint and the definition
was that it's actually a legal move in Core, like
you can file a complaint against somebody that they did
something wrong. And I wouldn't want to be the one
who complains and have it be legal in the court

(49:10):
of God accusing God of doing something wrong against me.
That's a revelation that I had. Can you file a
complain against somebody and you take them to court. So
Judah was filing complaints. They were tired, They were exhausted.
They have larger families, but they didn't get more food.

(49:30):
And it just there's this list in the Amayah of stuff.
And then when you turn the page to that scripture
that I just read in chapter four, I think it's
verse fourteen, don't be afraid of the enemy, remember the Lord.
So what happened when they started complaining, They started focusing
on not enough food. They started focusing on the enemy

(49:52):
was attacking and scaring them. They their endurance was low.
You know how I talked about the Olympic skater and endurance.
Their endurance was low because God was stretching that endurance
through building this temple for each and every one of
them for their purpose. And so what happened was the
enemy grew like all of these other enemies. There's a

(50:13):
list in there. It wasn't just the three men anymore.
It grew into others coming as a mob, and they
were attacking. And so the workers they ended up splitting
up the workforce to where some were guarding, some were working.
And then it came to a point where they were
working with a tool in one hand and a sword

(50:34):
in the other defending themselves. They had people guarding the families.
They had leadership inside, and they had a trumpet person
who was blowing the trumpet and sounding an alarm and
then you would leave your spot and you would go
to that place because they needed help there. They needed
more help there. So there was a lot of strategy
going on. They were fighting while they were building. And

(50:54):
that is what we're doing. That's what we're doing. And
that's the importance of this entire message is that life,
it can be joyful and it could be peaceful and
content when you're doing the will of God. And yeahwait,
when you know God is in charge, there's nothing like
it because you know he'll come through, and you know
there's waiting periods, and you know there's times when you suffer,

(51:17):
and you know there's times when you're persecuted, but when
you have your eyes on God. And when the province
of Judah, the people of Jewas started to complain, they
took their eyes off God. They lost their focus. And
then ne and Maia is saying, remember God, don't fear
the enemy. Remember God. Remember God. And in these days
when it's getting fearful out there, it's getting a little scary.

(51:37):
You know, we're people are war there's huge things going on,
bad sense of persecution. People are killing, and the weather's
gone crazy, and the volcanoes are erupting, and the earthquakes
are going and tsunami is because of earthquakes and just
going on and on, the storms and all this stuff,

(51:57):
the floods. People can get scared. But he's saying, remember me,
get your focus on me, Get your focus on me,
and live out your purpose. I will give you everything
you need to work out your purpose. And God is
always there. Worst case scenario, we pass from this life,
we're right there with him. He is alive. We do
have eternal life through our Lord, so we could be
with him when we pass. Now, if you're not with

(52:19):
God and have no relationship with God, when you pass away,
you cannot be in the presence of God. So there's
a place we call hell that is out of the
presence of God, and it is horrible and you can
never leave. So this is a good time. I'm just
going to toss the sin here. That sounded a little
bit like it wasn't very formal, but from my heart
to yours, it's so it's just easy to say, God

(52:41):
be my God. You know, the God of the Christians
and the Jews. Yahweigh be my God too, be Lord
of my life. And then with every decision that you
make from now on, you know, get yourself into a
community of people who truly believe the Bible and who
love and support you, and who will tell you the truth.
When you do something wrong, you will support you. If

(53:03):
you're addicted to something, gets you into it, help you
get into rehab. If you know, if you're hungry and
you need, you have needs that, they'll help you find
resources for that and help you through that and support
you with love and prayer through that. And just continually
just follow God, read your Bible, whether it makes sense
or not. Just continually keep asking. Holy Spirit brings alive
to me, makes this exciting to me. Help me to

(53:25):
understand this. God has everything, absolutely everything you need. You
do have a purpose. You're the only one that can
live it. That makes you special. If you want to
be special, you are. You are, because if you don't
live out your purpose, He's going to have to have
somebody else take on some of that because you're not
doing it. You want to be special, go do it
and just see what He unrolls for you, what he

(53:46):
has in your book, and the joy that can come
from that is amazing. I'm living it. I'm living it.
You know. I have struggles. I have waiting times, I
have exhaustion, I have something that I'm fighting right now physically,
and it's not fun. But I know, Yeah, always got me.
You see the smile and the joint. It's real. It's

(54:06):
real because I've been through so much. But he has
come through every time, and he comes up underneath me
and the smile comes back. The joy just bubbles up
from somewhere, and it's him. To give your life to him.
Just give your life to him. Don't worry about anything
else right now. Do that. And then just each time
you wake up in the morning, before you get to

(54:27):
bed at night, all through the day, just say, what's next? Lord,
what's the next? Lord, be my Lord, be my God. Yeah, wah,
and what is next? Let me do it, Let me
do that, let me do that. And then things just
start to work out. He starts to take that bad
stuff out of your life, and he starts to support
you under the stuff that happens that you can't control,
that hurt you. And then he gets under there and

(54:48):
you start to do things that matter the things that
you love, love what you do. You're gonna start towards that,
and it might be a lot. I know. When I
started praying for the Kingdom of God to come into
my life and his will to be done, and that's
the Lord's prayers. From the Lord's prayer, my life turns
upside down. I lost everything but one person and a

(55:08):
couple friends. Literally lost my dogs, my house. Like I
just went through one thing after the other. And in
the beginning, I thought, how will I ever get through this?
I was grieving, I was exhausted. I would worked three
jobs at some point, and God just kept coming through.
And I tell people about it. Now, I had more
food than I could eat. I was giving food away.

(55:30):
I always had guests in my car. I don't know
how just people were handing me things, gift cards and
things pump and paying for my guess at the pump.
Getting more and more hours at work. That was hard.
It was hard to work that much. But I was
thankful that I could work. I was thankful that I
had a check that I could budget with. You know,

(55:51):
we have to focus on God and the good books,
on a light book, us on love, doing things for
other people, when you're hurting, helps so much because it's
just it is such a blessing and so much fun
to pay for. Just like if I had a twenty
dollars bill and I would go through and get myself
a drink at McDonald's. I paid for the person behind me.

(56:12):
I did that. You hear about people doing it, I've
done it. I've done it many times. And I remember
the one time that I got not just a reward
and have him, but the person I pulled over because
I got fries and I want to put ketchup on
my front and he starts beeping, and I was praying
was gonna wreck his car. He swerving all our place.
He has his hand off the one and waving thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you. I thought, or what

(56:35):
kind of day is he having? Like I wasn't having
the best day, but I think it just sort of
made his And you know, it wasn't that much. I
think he got some like a coffee and a biscuit
or something, and just to have some to pay for
that made him that happy. I mean that just set
my mood right there, like I'm like, thankful, thank you

(56:56):
God that I got to experience that today, you know,
because I'm not really looking for a reward here because
then it says you get your reward here, you don't
have it in Evin. And I want I just want
to please God. That's my reward. I want him to smile.
I want people to be blessed. I don't want people
to go hungry. I don't want people to cry. I

(57:17):
don't want people to go without. And so every day
that I get up, I do what God has to
me to do, and I obey him. And as I
was saying, it cost me almost everything, but you know what,
He's redeeming it. He's reconciling some things and some people
back to me. He gave me beautiful blessings. I don't

(57:38):
want to start naming them, but they're there, and I'm smiling,
and I have my tribe, my family supporting me, my church,
beautiful people with big hearts and just you know, givers
and encouragers, and they tell me the truth. If I'm
having a struggle, they will say, hey, you know, that's
not good faith, or I need to ask the Lord

(58:01):
about that, or maybe that is something, maybe that's something
that needs to change your life, you know, And in
the moment you feel like, ooh, which has happened? But
then to go to God and say, you know what, Lord,
let's talk about that God. Does that need to go?
Does that need to change? And letting God change it
just needs it better. And I'm glad that not everybody
says yes to me in my life now. In fact,

(58:23):
I don't know that they've ever had, but I think
I've had people along the way just cheer me on
and I'm doing stupid goofy things. But I thank God
for that because I want to align with Him and
his word, and I want to stay in alignment with
the tribe and being unity with the family of God
that He's put around me and these beautiful friends that
He has put in my life. It's a blessing to
have good, supportive friends. And it's not about quantity, it's

(58:47):
about quality, you know. I mean the people I have
very close to me that I actually tell things too
is so small and people have walked away with that
information and I trusted them for a season. They were
here for a season, and I trust that they were
godly enough that what they've walked away with they'll keep
to themselves. You know, This is how good God is.

(59:09):
So they were fighting this battle and with a tool
on one hand and sword and the other. And I
just want to encourage you. Sometimes you're going to be
like I was, in a place where things go and
you have to let them go. And I did grieve,
I did cry, I did loop de loop with a conversation.
Sometimes somebody would meet me three months later and I
would go over it again. I'm still hurting. You know,

(59:30):
this person did this, this person did that. And you
know God delivered me and he healed me, and I
was able to let go. I was able to forgive.
You know, there's no bitterness and no anger and no resentment.
You know, they're broken people. I've done things to hurt
people accidentally or on purpose. We're all human beings. And

(59:51):
just to know that God's hand is on us, and
that as we're rebuilding his temple, as we rebuild our
bodies and become healthier and more nourished, as we begin
to live out our planet purpose, as we make God God,
and we just don't make ourselves lord when we take control,
we make ourselves lord. God cannot be Lord if we

(01:00:14):
have somebody else as Lord, even if it's us, If
it's somebody that we could dependant on. If it's our parents,
if it's our best friend, it's not God. Watch your step.
That can be subtle and deceiving. You know. Sometimes we

(01:00:34):
want to solve the problem or we want to be
quick about it. Make sure God is in on that,
because if he's not, you just became lord again. Very
important point. He cannot be God if you have something
in front of him. That's an idol. It's an idol
if you wake up in the morning, even if you
put on worship music when you know you need to
get the word out and you need to pray, or

(01:00:54):
maybe you need to fast because you've come to a
point in your life where you're not sure how you're
serving Him is correct, or you don't know the next move.
But you listen to worship music to improve your mood instead,
that can be an idol. As crazy as that sounds,
it sounds so godly, doesn't it. But where's your motivation?
Where's your heart? And not saying it's wrong to listen

(01:01:15):
to worship music if you need to improve your mood
and it's all all systems, go put it on, because
worship is your warfare. It is anytime you are praising God,
and putting your focus on God, the enemy loses ground.
And that's what we want. We want God's came into advance. Amen.

(01:01:35):
All right. So in the end, Nea and Maya and
those guys, they get the city built, and they get
the gates all put on. They assign everybody their positions,
They get the leadership and the government set up. They
do a census so they know who all the people are,
and they take account and it's done. Did they succeed

(01:02:00):
as God helped them? As it said in the one Scripture? Yes?
Did they lose their focus? Yes? Did the enemy attack? Yes?
How hard did the enemy attack? Well, they were up
all day and all night. There was a point where
they didn't even change clothes or take the clothes off.
I don't know exactly what that meant, but when you

(01:02:20):
don't have time to even change your clothes or take
a shower, you know the enemy's on you. Okay. So
whatever you're praying for today, if God has given you
a vision, you know, I got a vision way back
in my twenties of a ministry, and I've seen little
parts of it, and I see my skills building, but

(01:02:40):
haven't quite made it to that yet. And I don't
know that that's going to be liberal or not, but
you know what, it's okay because today I got up
and my assignment was to get this podcast out to
help you. And I did it, and I did it
as quickly as I could, not in a haphazard way.
But just not say and we'll I'll do it next month.

(01:03:01):
God said do it, and right now. The timing is
that you whenever you see this, it's you. He wanted
this for you, he wants it for me. I learned
a tremendous amount and I shared some of it with
some of my godly friends and they're learning. So this
is this is how God works in the Kingdom. We're
all in it together. Let's stick together. Yeah, let's pray

(01:03:22):
for each other and let's get it done. So praise
God for me a maya testifying and writing it down.
Here we are thousands of years later and we're advancing
the kingdom right now. Praise to the Lord Father God.
I just pray for this person right now who's picked
up this video and stuck with it to the end,
because they're about to be blessed with this prayer. Lord,

(01:03:43):
because we're going to welcome you into this situation, Father God, Father,
I pray that their eyes of open, their ears of open,
so that they understand that the next step the next
right thing, regardless of whether they're very very sick, whether
they're lost, whether they're getting divorced, whether they've been through
church hurt, whether you know, they don't they don't know

(01:04:04):
what the purpose or the plan is. Maybe they're addicted
to things, whatever the enemy has brought at them. God,
let them pick up the bat and let them hit
the ball out of the park. Let them turn to you,
which we call repent in the Christian lingo. Let them
turn to you, Father God, turn and put their eyes

(01:04:24):
on you, and say, Today's day, this moment, right now, Lord,
this moment, right now, Lord, I want you to be
my God. I want you to be Lord and in
control and the leader of my life. And I want
to serve you. Father God, unroll the scroll in heaven,

(01:04:48):
the one with my name on it, the one that
you wrote before I was even thought of read it,
Father God, and let me do what it says to
do in this moment, Father, remain God and Lord. When
I lose my grip and you are not Lord, and

(01:05:09):
I have become Lord, I pray that I will not
complain and file it complain against you in the legal
realms of your court, but that I will continue to
worship you and praise you. That I will continue to
focus on you, Father, that I will continue to ask
the Holy Spirit for the next move Lord. That I
will continue to be obedient and do what you ask

(01:05:29):
me to do the way you have asked me to
do it, regardless of what it costs me. Father God,
I pray for healing in the life of this person,
from the top of their head to the tips of
their toes and everything in between, up above, around and underneath. Lord,
I pray for healing to come and their families and
their businesses and their finances. Lord, as they align with

(01:05:54):
you and seek your kingdom first, everything else will be
added to them. Father God, I pray for the grace
to pour out on them to live this today. Other
I pray for their joy, they're peace, and their contentment
to come with their purpose and Father, if it cost
them like it did me, like it cost some of

(01:06:16):
the other people out there who have been through even
worse than I have, God, I pray that they'll always
keep their focus on You and Father, that the victories come. Yes,
the enemy took their step on the chessboard. Yes, the
enemy came at them and they had to carry a
tool in one hand and build with the other era
a sword and the other and they didn't get time

(01:06:38):
out the Lord. In the end, the temple was built
and they were all rejoicing. They're united, they're working together,
supporting each other and love. Yahweh is God, and it
all worked out for the good Father. I pray for
all to work out for the good in this person's life.
In Jesus name. Amen, Hey, you have a wonderful day.

(01:07:02):
Get a smile on your face. Let y'all be your God,
take your next right step and enjoy the blessings. Stay
in gratitude, thank God for everything that happens. As it
happens all the good. Let Him work out the bad.
Don't complain, just speak his word and may God. May

(01:07:23):
the God of peace rest upon you and bring the
people into your life quickly that you need to support
you and give you the strength and the grace to
separate from the things and the people that you don't
need to be around anymore. In Jesus' name, Amen, thank
you for joining in with us. Today. I hope you
