Judah Team :Holy, holy, holy. The Angels, they cry, Holy. I step into Your presence, Lord, You are holy, we surrender all. Lord you are all Lord. You are holy. We all bow down. You are holy. Oh, you are the air we breathe. You are the water we drink. You are the song we sing. You are holy. We all Bow down. You're holy holiness is your soul. You are holy.

 

Ruth Ann: So Father God, we just exalt you. We just worship You. We declare that you are Lord. We declare I don't know why I'm hearing this, but you're sovereign. We're a man who's tried to mess with your sovereignty, Father God. Father God where man has set traps for your people, Father God that has attempted to mess with your sovereignty. That's important. Okay, it's big, important. I don't know why, because when God set his self as sovereign, that means he can't come into his stuff. But Father God, where we have let man, where we've let the enemy in, where we've let the enemy in to your stuff, yeah, that's right, okay, where we've let the enemy into your stuff, because they had to have a way in, and we were the way in, Father. Father God, we repent. I stand before you. Father God, even as leaders of churches, even as leaders of ministry, ministries where we've led the wrong thing into your sovereignty, Father. I repent where our ancestors did it I repent. Father God, what you plan for Mississippi, what you plan for Alabama, what you plan for the United States Father God, when you put this country and we let a door open in the spirit realm, where we let a door open in the spirit realm, and we shouldn't have done it, Father, we shouldn't have done it, and we left that door open for our people of the enemy to enter Father, I repent. I repent Father, where we have done these things.

 

Rahka: So the enemy has placed several stereotypes and misconceptions about people that live in the south. What the Lord has been telling me was certain things that people have said about living in the South, or what this what the northerners or other states say about us. I heard that because we talk slow and we talk with the slaying that makes us mentally slow, but I rebuke that. We are not slow. We may be slow to talk, slow to anger, but that does not mean that intellectually we are slow. It just means we are careful. So, Heavenly Father, we just rebuke those words that are laid on people of South. I also heard that the southern states were poor, states that it was poor down here, and Heavenly Father, we just declare that we are not poor, but that you have sustained us. You are sustaining us. You are providing us with a livable wage, a livable living down in the south, as opposed to a higher requiring a higher living medium that's required in the north and other parts of the United States. And I think this attempt to miscalculate or misclassify, misconstrued, to name, call, to reclassify, is an attempt for the enemy to keep us at a lower level, and we're not. So it's time, as I went back earlier before, the southern states, all of these misconceptions that have been laid upon us, we must come out.

 

Ruth Ann: So, Father, we've taken a false identity, and we said we're poor, we're in poverty, we're not we're a land of resources. We're land of blessings. And so, Father God, we move with you. Father God, we move with you. Father God, we move with you. Father God, to where you want us to be, where you want us to become, what you meant for us. And so, Father God, part of us not opening the door to the enemy, is getting a new mindset. And so where our mindset has been, our own trap. That's huge. Where our mindset has been our trap, so Father in the name of Jesus. So Father in the name of Jesus, where we allowed ourselves to be trapped. We break the trap Father God today, and we come out of it. We break the trap that we set, that was set for us, and it goes with exactly what I was looking for. Because I have been just overwhelmed with what the Lord has been showing me about this. It's Matthew 16:23, and I've read it 1000 times. I've taught from it hundreds of times. And finally, I captured what the Lord was saying. Because when Peter said, Jesus, Jesus, come over here. You're not, we're not going to do all this. You're not going to die on the cross, you're not going to do all this. And Jesus said, back to Peter. And we've misinterpreted this. When Jesus said back to Peter, he said, Get behind me. He was talking to Peter. He wasn't talking to Satan. He was talking to Peter, because the word Satan there does not mean Satan. It does not talk to the physical being Satan. It talks to someone that is opposing Jesus. It does not talk just it does not call his name. He's not talking to Satan, he's talking to Peter. And what he said to Peter is, you are the stick that's holding your trap open for me. You are the one that, if I follow what you say, you've trapped me and where we have believed what people have said about us, we walk into a trap. You got to come out of the trap because they were the stick holding the door open for you to go in the trap. And that's exactly what Jesus said to Peter. You are the stick holding this door open for me to be trapped.

Judah Team Sheila: Can you hear the lion running. Hear the lion running. It's time to move. It's time to move. It's time to run with the lions, overtake the horsemen. Are you ready? It is time to run.

 

Sonja: I've just got to share. What I'm seeing is Ruth Ann was well, as Rahka was delivering the word of the Lord, and then Ruth Ann came up and shared and wow. Labels of the labels of preconception, are coming off. I saw all these little labels and says, That's not you at all. The enemy. The enemy. Oh, my goodness, the enemy with these labels, I saw them being magnified through false perception of who we truly are in Mississippi and in this region, and I saw him just coming off. They were just flying off. It looked like confetti, but the confetti was going up and off of Mississippi and off of the mindset of this state, of the land, of the true identity of who this land is, and who God has called this land to be. And I saw all those words, those labels coming off, and they were just, I was just like, joyfully, rejoicing So, Father, we thank you that as the lion roars and the lion runs through our state, through this region, from Louisiana to Oklahoma, Father, and the blood is over the doorpost, Father, I thank you. Oh, I thank You, Father, God. Oh, my, my, my, my, that the riches of this land, the riches of this nation, the  riches of this region and in Mississippi, makes headlines. It makes headlines in the natural, in the spirit. Hallelujah. Oh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, they're coming off. They're coming off. They're coming off. And Father, I thank. You for the fire. You had me praying about your fire this morning, and so Father, I thank you for the fire that burns up every demonic every pre conceived label, a miss labeling of who we are because, Father, you have set this land, you have set this region. You have set our state in alignment with what is written in your book in heaven about this state of Mississippi and this region. And, oh, my goodness, I'm telling you, God is opening up the floodgates in Mississippi and in this region, he is, he is, he is, and it's already started. I'm telling you there are riches in this land. There are riches in this region, in the state of Mississippi. And I'm telling you, not only is it going to make local and national news, but it's going to make international news in the name of Jesus. And what's going to happen. What I'm seeing is that the states, the northern states, will follow suit. They will follow suit. They will either get in the flow or stay out of the flow. There will be a division. There will be a separation. Hallelujah. And I thank You, Father God, for the flow of righteousness, the flow of wealth, and what you have for this nation, for this region, for the state of Mississippi, y'all Father. I thank you. Oh, my goodness. Father, where there has been a cap on small businesses that cap is removed to flow and to prosper. Every demonic and every natural thing that has held small business owners down is removed now. And Father, I thank you that the lion is running. You are running through this state. You are running through this region. You are running through this nation. Yes, Lord, the borders are secure. The borders are secure. And Father, we extend our tent pegs and we volve the state of Mississippi for your glory. In the spirit, in Jesus name, and we say, prosperity, come forth, spirit, soul and body in the land, in your people, in the atmosphere. In Jesus name, there won't be people moving out of the state of Mississippi. There'll be people moving into the state of Mississippi. In Jesus name.

 

Rahka: So piggybacking off of what Sonya was saying, what I heard specifically was Elon. I'm speaking to you, Elon, you are coming to Mississippi. All the labels have been pulled off of Mississippi, and the border has been laid down. So as you enter Mississippi, you must work with the apostolic you must work with the Christians in the state of Mississippi or AI will be no more. Wow. Say that again, wow. Or AI will be no more before. You will work with the apostolic work, work with the Christians of Mississippi. And the Lord is speaking to Elon today. It's time for, it's time for, it's time for a change.

 

Ruth Ann: Let me just add some thought power to this. A horse can run 55 miles an hour, top speed. I knew they could go 50 I didn't know 55 a lion can run top speed, 60 miles an hour. Wow. The horse can sustain its speed longer than a lion, because the lion is built, listen to this. The lion is built for an ambush and explosive power. When it comes and strikes, it's bringing an explosive power. The horse is built for endurance and sustained running. So when the lion, this is my thought, okay, at the start, the lion will win because of the lion's incredible acceleration. So the lion has to ambush the horse, just like God told me about Dan the Viper this month, would ambush the horse and rider, because they don't see. The lion, would have to ambush the horse and bring in his explosive acceleration, explosive power, to take the horse down before the horse could sustain and keep running. So Father, as we come to you as a lion. We come to run with you as a lion, as we come to run in this nation. And we heard this prophesied early this morning, as we come to run across this nation with you, with you, running as a lion across this nation. Father, we come with the burst of speed that you're running at. We come, Father God to ambush where you come to ambush. Father God to release your power, where you come to release your power that what the enemy is doing cannot be sustained. What the enemy is doing can no longer continue to run across this nation, but it is under your power. It is immediately ambushed and stopped. So, Father, you can do away with AI, you can do away with anything when people enter your paradise and they don't follow your way. And so Father, we declare Mississippi to become your paradise. Doesn't look like it now. But Father God, as you run across this place, as you run across this nation, as you run Father God, as you come with your accelerating speed and you ambush, and you come upon as an ambush for those that don't expect you to take them out. So, Father God, you explode here. There's an explosion of you, Father God, there's an explosion of your power released where you ambush the horse and the rider and you take them down that they cannot keep a door open for the enemy any longer, in The name of Jesus.

 

Judah Team Sang : Prepare the Way

 

Sonja: Lord says For I have released the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, yes, yes, across this land, yes, across Mississippi, yes, across this region, and even into the nation and the nations. And the Lord says, I have released my lion across the oceans and the seas down deep in the earth. Ha, that's where you'll find me. He says, I have released my lion, and my roar goes with fire, for I am burning up, oh, all the sludge in this very hour. For my fire burns bright and it burns hot into the atmosphere. Can you see? Can you feel what I'm doing, even inside of thee? For, I am burning those things out with my fire and my sound, ha, you will see my glory like never before. And yes, it will be found. For many will say, but is this God? Is God really doing this? Yes, I'm doing this. For you will begin to see and hear and even smell my glory. For run with me on the back of my lion, and you will run with speed. The Lord says the Paw of my Lion has left an imprint in the earth. The Paw of my Lion has left an imprint in the earth. The  Paw of my Lion has left an imprint in the earth. Ha that the enemy cannot trace. The tail of my lion has stirred up the four winds from the north, south, east and west for the for the wind is whirling at its best. The mane of my lion has gone forth this day to bring the words of Heaven. Can you hear what I have to say? The breath from the nostril of my lion has blown this day, clearing the path for what's coming your way.

 

Rahka: And in those four winds, he's also bringing in people from the north, from the south and from the east and from the west. And the Lord asked today, he asked the ecclesia, are you ready for the people that he's sending in?

 

Ruth Ann: So you've got to receive the work of the lion in your life. He's in the earth today. When I woke up this morning, God was telling me He was here. Chuck Pierce was saying he's here today. And you'll see some things this week that's gonna, thought last week was Something, gonna see some things this week. But you gotta let the lion do his ambush. Because that's the only way he can outrun a horse. Remember, he runs faster and ambushes. So you have to run with him. You have to run with him as he ambushes those things that have been a trap for you. You have to let him work in you. You have to let him work in your region, in your state, and you have to run with him. You have to run with him fast enough that you're faster than the horse, and you ambush and destroy you. So the thing is, Will you surrender to run today? Will you surrender to run that fast? The lion runs about 60 miles an hour. That's about how fast I drive. Wow. That means lion would run right alongside of me. Think about that. But you can't let the horse outrun you. You cannot let the horse and the rider outrun you, because a horse can sustain 55 miles an hour and sustain it and sustain it and sustain it, while the lion comes to ambush and destroy.

 

Rahka: So earlier, when Sonya was talking about heaven, I had heard this earlier, about bringing in people, bringing in people, but what I heard was south of heaven, and then I went to Southaven. But also there's the Golden Triangle area. And then when you were talking about taking over, we have to rumble in north Mississippi if the ecclesia is going to be ready for the people that are coming from the north and the south, from the east, from the West. Then we have to rumble in northern Mississippi so that the ecclesia can have foot, the welcoming of the ecclesia and that the opportunity for the Christian business in Southaven.

 

Judah Team: Get ready, get ready, get ready. Get ready. Get ready. Get ready. Get ready. Get ready. From the north, south, east and West. Get ready. Ready to rumble.

 

Ruth Ann: I know when you rumble, you're going to a street fight with Jesus, and you got to be ready. You got to be ready to move like the lion moves. He moves Swift, he moves fast, and he ambushes and he takes out what he comes after. And God is sovereign, and So Father God, we're ready to rumble with you. We'll go to the north, to the south, to the east and the west, and we will rumble. We'll fight where you fight, yes, we'll take out what you take out, and we'll build our borders of security where you're sovereign. You are the sovereign God, and where we lost rulership by letting people holding sticks trap us. We Father God come and we make you sovereign in our borders once more. We start with the borders of our own home, and we make you sovereign there, Father, you're the ruler there, you are Lord, you are king, your Savior, you are mighty. And we steward what you gave us to steward properly.

 

Declarations: So Father, I declare this day, I will not turn to the right or the left, but I will walk in full alignment with the Word of God in total obedience to you and I will not give into pressure, provocation or intimidation. I declare I am strong in the Lord and the power of his might. I declare I'm strengthened to stand, to advance and possess my land. My mind is firm. I'm anchored in truth and fear will never I say never cause me to retreat or reprogram my mind. I declare that every assault against my assignment falls useless to the ground. I declare that I stay on course and I finished my course, and I declare that all provocateurs, all people who cause me contention, are moved out of my way, and I move into enlargement because I declare I pursue, overtake and recover all with seven fold interest on all that I've lost. I declare that my fellows, members of the Body of Christ will rise with me in strength and courage and walk in Dominion. So I declare together, we hold fast to the truth, stand firm in Jesus Christ, and we do not turn to the right or to the left, and we advance in obedience. And I prosper everywhere the Lord sends me in the name of Jesus amen.

101126 Covenant Fire

By Ruth Ann McDonald • October 12, 2026
101126 Covenant Fire Keywords Covenant, Power, Authority, Altar, Rejection, Destruction, Miracles, Sound, Rhythm, Fire, Consuming fire, Government, Victory, Judgment, Worship Ruth Ann Father God, where we have not made covenant with Your power, where we still on a lower level with Your power, where we forget to bring Your power to every place we are, Father. So Father God, we just say this month, Father God, we have to renew our covenant with your power and authority. So we welcome your power here, Father. We welcome your power-the power to heal, the power to speak to a mountain, and the mountain moves automatically. The power to declare, and our declarations go through the earth and produce what we declare. Yeah, the power, Father God, that we have that we often misplace and we forget the power because we get caught up. So, Father God, we renew today. We ask for your power to flow here, Father God. We ask for your power. Jesus said, "I have all authority now. You go. He didn't say, "I'm going. He says, "You go. I know it's no telling what sometimes when he says, "Oh, let's go, so Father God, we just thank you for your power, your power, your power. What have you got, Rakha? Rakha Friday, I was talking to Maggie, and we were talking about the preparation she was making for the hurricane, and at the time we didn't know, you know, there's an assumption that it could go in between Mobile and where it was specific, but they knew the general area, so she was getting prepared, and it and I told her, so you know, we were praying about it, and she was saying how when she was praying into it, the prayer that she got was bring the bring the wind, and whatever needs to, you know, be gone, you know, it's blown away. Whatever the blood destroys something evil, it destroys it. Blah blah blah blah. But we Did not say stop the hurricane. It wasn't anything like that. It was you know we're on the rain, rain is cleansing, and afterwards I said, well, what I heard was after the rain is gone and the rain and the floods were receded, we need to do what Noah did. the first thing he did when he got off the ark was build and alter. All these places like Selm , all these places ya'll been praying over. Ruth Ann You're right. We're going to the fairgrounds. We got to reestablish an altar at the fairground. What this did, I don't know if y'all know this because I prepared it to talk tonight on prophetic table talk. Is it pushed out the pressure system that's been causing the drought? It's interesting. Wow, wow! Ruth Ann So, Father God, we just start right here, and we just reestablish the altar to you, Father. Here, we just reestablish anywhere that we have doubted you, anywhere we have let our own emotions get on an altar that we built here for you, Father God, we just reestablish the altar here to you. We declare this is your place. This is your place to abode. This is your place to reside. This is your entry point into this region, we open it up to you, and we declare again: this altar, this place, this house is yours to turn the region, or the state, or the nation, however you want to use this altar, Father God. But it's your place where we worship you. It's your place where you can come in and out because you're the only one worshiped here, Lord Jesus, and is your place, Father God, where we establish you. Ruth Ann I'm gonna pray this because it hit me somewhere. Y'all pulled a set of rejections, a set of renunciations for rejection. I wrote years ago. Don't know how y'all. Anyway, I think it was God that got us there. Okay, so I wrote them years ago. Okay, and since we've had other sets that I've written since, okay, but we went back to an older set, and we found out in that set that I wrote, I was breaking the Rejection with agreement with Abaddon. Now y'all know who Abaddon is. He's locked in the Euphrates River until the end of time. It's from Revelations. I was correlating rejection to Abaddon, and I'm like Sheila pointed it out to me. Okay, but you'd already used them. You pointed it out to me, and I'm like, where'd I get this? So yesterday morning, God woke me up at 5o'clock, and He says, "Okay, you're gonna take that deeper. Five a.m. I'm like, God, I came here not to get up at five a.m. I was in Dekalb, and I got up at five a.m. Are y'all good with me, and so I got up and I went back on that set, found my set, and kept going, and realized I got them from Dr. Olakoa in his book on rejection. Okay, and he was equating a person who feels rejected will do things to destroy their opportunities. They will do things, an Abaddon is the ultimate destroyer. So he was saying in his work that a person who takes on rejection will also take on things that are destructive to themselves. That's interesting, is it not? Pretty interesting. I thought it was too, so I understood exactly where I got them. So it's an ultimate destruction. If you feel rejection, you will allow it to come. I think we could even tie that into suicide. I have not done it, but I correlated it yesterday morning. When you get so rejected, you start attracting things that let you be destroyed to yourself. Ruth Ann Okay, so Father, where we have built over this year or whatever since the last time we renewed the altar, anywhere we have brought rejection and felt rejected, anywhere we looked around on Sunday morning instead of looking at the count behind the camera and we looked around and said, "There's not enough people here, and we felt rejected, Father God. Anywhere we put rejection on an altar, Father, we take it off, and we're building a clean altar here today, Father God, where we feel accepted, where we know what our purpose is, where we know what you have us doing, and we don't look at what we see with the eye. We investigate, and we know the whole story and the whole truth. And we investigate, and we look at what we have here. We look at the building. We look at the property. We look at what God is doing here, and we know that is a lot more with us than it's against us, Father God. When we look around and see. So Father God, we tell the spirit of rejection where we have felt rejected by what the eye sees at 1030 on Sunday morning. We take rejection off of this place, off of this house, and off of ourselves. We do not put ourselves into being rejected, and we build you a clean altar here, an altar that says we're accepted, that we're in the work of the Lord, and we are no longer attracting any destruction to us. So we tell any spirit that has come here to destroy anything, you're dismissed from this ministry. You're dismissed from this property. You cannot stay here because the power of God is what we're building this altar to today. His power to come through and fulfill the promises. His power to be established here. And so, Father God, we ask for signs, wonders, and miracles. We say signs, wonders, and miracles. We're asking for the miraculous at this time of the new covenant, we say miraculous this year. We're asking to walk in the miraculous Father, and we build this altar to walk into the miraculous Father. Ruth Ann Who's got anything? Any thoughts? Anybody want to add to that? Because I don't know what this has to do, but this is my thought. Ms. Robin Bullock won a Grammy. Did y'all know that? Yeah, she won a big type award because she's released a new single herself. She won three different awards, and one of them was for the new sound, new, and I thought it was very interesting. It's the sound they're producing. Okay, but it’s one on the secular market. You see what I'm saying? And I was I've been pondering that sound. You know, people have pushed back against Robin, and I mean, like, wait a minute. She's got the Grammy. This is the sound that's being produced from there. It went into the country music. It's a Christian song on the country music. What she won the Christian artist division. That's what she did for the song and something else. She won three. Yeah, it was three. She got three different awards out of it by that one song. But now the world is accepting the sound, the beat, the rhythm that's being produced. She won it because it goes into their sound that they're producing. It's called Horse and Rider, and she's singing directly from the Bible. It's amazing, is it not? So, Father, we just give you the sound, whatever new, wherever you're taking next level, whatever the beat is, whatever the rhythm is, the beat of the flags is being released on the ground, is picking up your sound, your rhythm, Father God. Whatever it is, we will. We're going to plow there. We're going to plow it out of the land and produce it into the atmosphere, Father. So we just give you the sound, the sound. And so, Father God, we renew our altar of sound here to you. We re-covenant the sound to you. We give you a new covenant in this month of chess band, Father God. We re-covenant and build a brand new altar to sound here, and we probably need to do this physically here and at the fairground with something to symbolize the new altar of sound, the new covenant to go to the next level of sound, and so Father, we thank you for what you are producing here. We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father, and we come into your beat and your rhythm, Father. We just thank you for that, Father. We thank you for that, Park. They were almost ready when we left, so they should be ready. They Ruth Ann So, Father, we just give you the sound, whatever new, wherever you're taking next level, whatever the beat is, whatever the rhythm is, the beat of the flags is being released on the ground, is picking up your sound, your rhythm, Father God. Whatever it is, we will. We're going to plow there. We're going to plow it out of the land and produce it into the atmosphere, Father. So we just give you the sound, the sound. And so, Father God, we renew our altar of sound here to you. We re-covenant the sound to you. We give you a new covenant in this month of Cheshvan, Father God. We re-covenant and build a brand-new altar to sound here. We probably need to do this physically here and at the fairground with something to symbolize the new altar of sound, the new covenant to go to the next level of sound. Father, we thank you for what you are producing here. We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father, and we come into your beat and your rhythm, Father. We just thank you for that, Father. We thank you for that. Sheila When Shane and I ,when it was just he and I doing praise and worship, and one of the people that came, I think from CI said, "Y'all are not to be imitators of a sound,. And this this Judah team, this praise and worship, has never been about being imitators of a sound. It's always been about Because people will say, "Well, I hear that song on the radio. It doesn't sound the same when y'all do it. I'm like, "Well, yeah, because it's not on the radio. I mean, you know, it's moving. However, God says move in it, and yeah, just with what you're saying. So, what do you want to do? Rakha So let me just go in ahead, and we're talking about building a new altar for the sound here. I just go ahead and repent because the Lord showed me a time where somebody outside imitated something that we did here, and I said, "Well, we did that first, and what I did was, I glorified what we did. I didn't glorify what the Lord does. So, Heavenly Father, where I said that, where I glorified what we did and put us on the pedestal instead of putting you on the pedestal, for giving us the ability to do what it is that you want us to do, I repent for that in Jesus' name. I ask for your forgiveness, Lord. Please forgive me, and I ask for your mercy. Judah team It's all for Your glory, Lord. It's all for Your glory. It's all for Your glory, Lord. It's all for Your glory. Sheila So we were talking about covenant this morning before we started, and I didn't say anything. But this morning, when I got ready to come to church. One thing I always do is I have my covenant ring, my wedding ring with my husband. And a few years ago, I felt to get a covenant ring for my covenant with Jesus, and it's got Hebrew on it. It says, "I am my beloved. And this morning, when I put it on, I was real intentional. It was like, Lord, I am I'm putting this ring as a symbol of the covenant I have for you. And as we're playing, I keep. I'm not sure that I would say seeing it, but it's like I don't know what it means, but it's like covenant of fire or fire covenant, and I don't even know what that would be, but I keep feeling the fire. I keep feeling the heat, so I'm putting it out there. Yay! And I keep like the only pictures I have my eyeballs on turn this way. We got looking like fire. You have the horses in the fire, and the lion breathing fire, and that one up there looks like fire. I keep seeing the fire in the paintings, like the ones over there by you. Okay, so I can't say I had a vision of it, but I kept. It's like hearing fire covenant or covenant of fire, and I don't even know what that means. Rakha Because I heard crackling. When a fire is is ablaze, and you hear the crackling of the wood, that's what I was hearing. Sonja Well, can I share? We're talking about sound this morning. I saw. Well, when I was sitting over there, the Lord said, "You got to push through, push through. So I just made that adjustment, push through. Then all of a sudden, I was caught up into the third heaven, and a portal was opened up, and I began to see all these colors, and I began to see all these musical notes being released from heaven into the earth, into the earth, releasing a new sound, and I heard the Lord say? This is what I heard Him saying, and I'm like, Lord, okay. The midterms, He says, I'm resetting the sound of the midterms to my sound, and He says, no longer will it be in heaven as the midterms, but it will be full term. And the Lord says, "I'm birthing my sound within the government to full term. Then I was reminded of a dream I had, and I'm not going to go in a lot of detail about it. The Lord just spoke to me about that dream. But in, and I'm going to share this particular part, and it's going to tie in with what the Lord's saying. I feel like. In the dream I was on a dirt road walking with somebody, and these cows, foreign cows, a herd of them, herd of them, not from around here that I've ever seen, had horns, and they were coming at us, and there was a fence, and it was bright, beautiful day, and it was a beautiful meadow. The pasture was beautiful over there, and I jumped over the fence like in a movie, how you jump and then you roll. And I got up, and we were safe, and the cows came to the fence and were looking at me. Well, behind me the fence was down, and some of the cows had begun to come over, but they weren't chasing me. They were eating in the in the field. There was a half-grown cow and a little calf that was coming up by me, trying you know trying to. I don't know what they were doing, but I took my had my sippy cup, my cup that I take my coffee in and was gonna hit them, and I didn't. And I said, "We've got to get out of here. But as I began to walk, there were horses just everywhere, horses everywhere, and there was this one particular horse in front of me that was black and white with little polka dot. I mean, just beautiful horse, and he was just standing there. And I'm standing up here, and the Lord said, "You can ride with the horses, and you can soar and be safe. For I've called each and every one of you to run your race. Get on your horse. Get into the sound. There you will find peace that abounds. And I said, "Lord, what has that got to do with what you're showing me about these notes? He says, "I'm resetting my ecclesia. There will be those that will fall by the wayside, and there'll be those that get on their horses. But the Lord says, 'Know, that I am changing the redirection of the government. He says, "There's no more straddling the fence. You got to get on the other side of victory. You got to get on the other side of the chaos and the sound that the world's putting out. You have to rise above it, and you have to jump over the fence because I'm telling you, I don't know what all what's happening, but I do know what's happening with the Lord. There's a reset of the sound within the government, and He said to me, standing up here, He said, "No more midterm." IT's full term. Because what I am birthing in the land and within the government is going to literally turn 360 degrees. And you have to rise above what's on the other side of the fence. Ruth Ann I'm not trying. I'm not. I do not tag on. That's huge. Okay, but I'm going to teach something just a second because I've been looking up fire since Sheila mentioned fire, and it's going to be exactly actually now y'all have to love me anyway. God reminded me first. A lot of a lot of people understand the wrong use of something, and they don't know what they're doing because the church hadn't taught it. It's not because people are not wanting to know. The church just doesn't teach things, okay? But your two most powerful. Your most powerful covenant is a blood covenant. Your second most powerful covenant is a salt covenant. Now people will go grab salt and they'll put salt around their houses as a protection, but actually salt is a covenant and it's the second most powerful covenant made with God, and that's Numbers 18:19, talks about the salt covenant. Leviticus 2:13 talks about the salt covenant. So actually, what you're doing is you're asking when you covenant with salt, you're asking God to come, and you're asking whatever, like if you're covenant your land, you're asking him to come into your land, but you're asking him to come. Deuteronomy 4:24 is a consuming fire. Y'all understand what I'm saying? When you make covenant, you're asking him to come as a consuming fire. Whether it's a salt covenant or a blood covenant, you're asking him to come as a consuming fire. Ruth Ann And that goes with Deuteronomy 4:24. So the Hebrew word for fire is esh, meaning a flame, a fire, or a burning. It is a covenant. It's referring to a binding agreement, a solemn commitment. And I'll talk more about this when I teach. Because my message is on covenant today. So when I ask him to come as this consuming fire, I'm asking for him. That's just like if I go around my property with salt. I'm really not putting it out, and I'm not. See, people will put it out and make covenant with an entity or something. It's really a covenant with him for him to consume everything on that property, that's not of Him. His fire has to consume it. Ruth Ann Or if I dedicate the elections to Him, I'm asking for His fire to come in and consume everything that's not of Him. Y'all understand what I'm saying? This is covenant. When I make covenant, I'm asking, I'm giving myself up for Him to be a consuming fire. I'm giving everything I put in that covenant. If I covenant anything, y'all understand. I'm asking Him to come be the consuming fire. Now I read a lot about this. This is why I've been so quiet. Okay, I'm asking for His judgment. When I covenant with Him, I'm asking for his fire to judge, and when I covenant with him, I'm making a commitment to do my part that will activate his promises. Do I understand what I'm saying? I'm here. Activate your promises in my life, even though you're going to have to judge and consume to get me there. I'm letting you consume. So, covenant and is I'm letting him be the consuming fire in my life. Whatever I covenant with him, if I give him my property, come consume it with your fire and get everything out of here that's not of you, isn't that amazing? That's where the fire part of the covenant comes. I let him come as the consuming fire, and whatever I'm making covenant with him. Ruth Ann So Father, today as we are in the month of covenant, as we are in the month, Father God, where Noah came off of the ark, and he made a new covenant with you. And so, Father God, we're laying down the framework for a new covenant with you. Just consume everything, consume everything that we have brought into this year that we brought this year. Along with us, that shouldn't be in our covenant with you. Just consume it, Father God, and just become a consuming fire. That we, Father God, come to a new sound, and that sound, Father God, even as we dedicate everything to you, and I've never thought about dedicating midterm election, but it's yours, Father. It's yours, Father. All of this is yours, Father, and we quit trying to do it on our own, Sheila and we rename it full term election Sonja That's what the Lord said. What He called it. You have any questions or comments? Don't don't send no ugly texts. Just ask the Lord. Take it it out with Him. That's what I heard. Judah team Oh, consuming fire, You're my heart's desire, and Lord, we long to worship You. Worship You, You're an all-consuming fire.. Our heart's desire. We worship You, send Your fire. We worship you. We worship you. Worship you. We worship you. And Lord, we desire you. We worship you. We worship you. We worship you. We worship you. Oh, consuming fire, consuming fire our hearts desire. You are desires. We worship you. We worship you. We worship you. We worship you. Our hearts desire, and we worship you. We all are consuming fire. We all. all-consuming fire we worship you. We worship you. You are our heart's desire. You are consuming fire. We welcome Your fire here today, Lord. Burn up what's gotta go. We wanna have a new fire for You now. We welcome your fire here today, burn up what needs to go. We wanna be on fire, be on fire for you. for you! Judah Team Sonja It's burning up the blackmail. It's burning up the blackmail. Sonja And the Lord says it's on My terms, it's not on man's terms. Oh my my my my! And the Lord says I'm burning up the agenda of the wicked one. The Lord says I am burning up the blackmail, and the Lord says it's not on man's terms. It's not on the evil one's terms. But the Lord says it's on my terms. Full term, baby. Full term, baby. Hallelujah! Oh, the Lord says, "Oh, watch what comes forth in the news. Watch what comes forth in the news. Mama, mama, ma. Oh, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma. I'm seeing a wheel with fire. I'm seeing a wheel within a wheel. Fire, fire, fire. Father, I thank you for the fire. It's like a wheel. It's a wheel, and it's got fire, and I saw it. Pretty amazing. I saw it just rolling across the land, and I heard, and I saw it, and I don't know what's going on there, but this was I saw South Dakota, North Dakota, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Washington. Kentucky, Maine, Maine, Maine. Keep seeing Texas, and around the state of Texas, I'm seeing fire outlining the borders. It's going out, going out, going out, going out, going out. Georgia. I don't know what this means, but I'm just gonna say it. But I heard blackout, and I heard California blackout, California. And I don't know what, I'm hearing, I hear the Lord say, "Whatever decisions are being made in California, you need to make them quick. You need to make them." Quick. Sheila Washington State or Washington State? Judah Team Sonja Washington D.C. I saw Washington D.C. Rakha Okay, so the Lord is really pressing this on me about the fire, and if we want this fire, this redemptive fire that's that He wants to bring down, you have to call for it. So for the, and you have to, we need to call for it in our English, in our native tongue. So, if you're English speaking, you say fire. If you are Spanish descent, you say fuego. If you are Choctaw, Speak it out in your native tongue. Call for it. Fire, fire, Say it. Fire. [Blew shofars] Judah team Let your firefall. Let your fire fall. Fireball. Fire fall. Let your fire fall [shofars blown] Let your fire fall Let your fire fall.. Oh, getting hotter, but there's always the fourth man in the fire. 'Cause he's always in the fire, always in the fire. Always in the fire with us. Jesus is always in the fire with us. Jesus Always in the fire with us. Always in the fire. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Burn, baby, burn. And Lord, in Your fire, bring the coal to our lips, bring the coal to our heart. Fire burn, let His fire burn.

I thank you, Father, that you are the great I am, and Father, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that you are Lord. And Father, I thank you for the fire that blows from Judah's mouth, Father, literally burning up the pathway of the enemy. Father, I thank you that the fire of God consumes the enemy and refines us, Father, that our light may shine brighter in darkness. Father, I thank you for the release, a release, a release, in Jesus' name, Judah Team Sonja You are the lion of the tribe of Judah, and fire comes from your mouth, holy fire. You are the lion of the tribe of Judah. The gates are open wide. Won't you step inside? The gates are open wide. Step on inside. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Step in, step in, step in, step in. Arise, arise, arise. Step in, step in, step in. The gates are open wide. The gates are open wide. Come on inside, inside, inside. Ruth Ann So I hear the Lord say, "Walk up and face your gate. Walk up. He's going to walk with you, and he's going to start kicking it down with you. He says, "Walk up and face it. Whatever you're facing, he says, walk up. Don't walk away from it. Don't walk away from it. I remember, and God just brought this to my mind when I taught the book of Absalom. When I book, I wrote a workbook on Absalom, and I went through and I taught every one of David's mistakes he made with Absalom. Every mistake I pointed it out, and then I came back and pointed out how he overcame the mistake. Now, in Second Samuel, you start with chapter 15, and you keep going all the way down to verses 31. Okay, so what happens here is that, news comes to David that the people's hearts have turned against David, and they've gone to Absalom. And not only that, so his adviser-I can't pronounce his advisor's name, but his adviser also started advising Absalom. And what does David do? He packs up his family and runs. He said, "We're leaving the temple. We're going. This is a huge mistake of David. Huge mistake. He said, "You know, verse 14. He says, 'Arise and let us flee.'" For we shall not escape from Absalom. Listen to his mouth, man after God's own heart. Listen to his mouth. He just said he can't escape from his own son. Wow, then he crosses the Kidron Brook, and they even say, "David, come take the ark with us. And David said, "I'm not taking the ark. He left the ark in the castle. He left the ark. He left the ark of God. I'd have taken that ark, folks. He said, "God come with us, but He left it there. And what did He do? You get to verse 30, and David went up by the Mount of Olives and wept, and he had his head covered, and he went barefoot. And go to verse 31, and one told David, saying, "Your advisers among the conspirators. And then David said, "Okay, I can't take it any longer. When he found that out, and he prayed, he turned around and he started praying. Where he'd been running, where he'd been weeping, where he'd been saying, "Oh, Absalom's going to overtake me. He put the words out there. He said in Scripture, Absalom was going to overtake him, and then he turns around and says, "God, I can't take my counselor counseling Absalom. Let him give foolish advice. He got angry enough. He prayed a prayer, and God answered it. And the counselor gave Absalom foolish advice, and Absalom became defeated after that. Just one simple prayer. One simple prayer. I'm going back. God, let them have foolish advice. Wow, wow! That turned the whole thing, and David loads up and goes back and takes his place. So, Father, we come and we look at our gate. We look at our gate, whatever our gate is, whatever the gate of hell has got there for us, we look at it, and you're here, and you're here with us. I've heard you walking in this room this morning. I heard you walking through here. It was your footsteps, Lord Jesus, and you said, "Look at that gate, and I'll start kicking it down with you. David got mad enough when he heard his counsel betrayed him. He quit being sorry for himself, and he prayed one prayer that turned the whole battle at the gates.{ Sonja blew the SHOFAR] Judah Team Sheila Coming for you, coming for you. Nothing can stop us. God is on our side. No more running, no backing up. Storming the gates. Storm in the gates, storming the gates of the enemy. Judah Team Sonja Storm in the gates of the enemy, watch out, devil, or you're about to see the churches are rising, taking their stand, walking through the gates, taking the land. Ruth Ann So I remember years ago we built a gate right here. We needed 100 something thousand, didn't have it. We stood right here and we took on Leviathan and all the witchcraft and everything that comes with Leviathan. We stood right here and we pulled it down and we faced it and we took that battering ram and we went through that gate. Next day, next day, not a year. Next day, money came through. Next day, we had no hope, but we had hope when we faced the gate, and we took that gate out. But we faced everything that was in front of that gate. We faced it. We called it out. We faced it, and we took it out, and it came down. We did it so good. Darrell told us to go back and do it a second time, and we did, and we own a piece of property totally paid for. We went after Satan. We did not let him keep us. We went after him that day. Let me say it again. I said we went after Satan. We went after him. That's what storming the gate is. We went after him. We faced every guard he put at the gate. You always face a Leviathan when you're going through a gate always, and we took out Leviathan and went over the gate. Sonja Well, you know that's interesting because when I came up here and we started praising and you know and everything, I saw a gate. I saw the gate, and at the bottom of the gate across the threshold was a snake. Wow! I saw it. Wow! And I was like, "Lord, why am I seeing a snake? And now you just explained it. Judah Team Sheila Wow. So is it still there? Sonja Yeah, I saw it. I mean, I saw it. I didn't, you know. I was like, okay. At first, what came to me is I need that sword back there to do a prophetic act that's hanging on the wall. Yeah, I saw that sword and doing a prophetic act and cutting that head off and removing the snake and stepping over the threshold into the gate, into it. Rakha So when you were talking about. fleeing from fleeing from the gate, so yesterday somebody asked me. They said, "Well, if you are a Mississippi Choctaw, how did your people survive? And I said, "We fled. We fled into the swamps. And for a minute there, I felt shame, and I was like, "No, no, no, no, no! Hold on, hold on. That's the enemy talking. Why does the enemy want me to feel shame, shameful for my ancestors retreating into the swamp? Because the swamp was their survival. That's how we survived. But what I saw later on was, because of that retreat, it was still in the land. The retreating of the people, the stepping back, stepping away. We weren't at the gate. We weren't protecting the gate. We were we were stepped back away from the gate. So heavenly Father, where my ancestors retreated, where we stepped away from the gate that you had established us to steward here, we come out of that, Heavenly Father. We repent for that, and Heavenly Father, we remove this out of the land. We remove it out of the atmosphere. And Heavenly Father, we remove it out of the DNA. We remove it out of the RNA. Whatever else a A is out there that needs to be removed from, we remove it out. And Heavenly Father, we stand. And whatever loss there may have been. Whatever loss you may have that is preventing you from charging into for storming your gate, it's time for you to. If you're crying over, if you're remorseful over that loss, you need to use that energy. Use those tears. Use that energy that you have to storm the gate. Storm the gate with your tears, and drop that loss. It's time to remove that loss. And when you storm that gate, he will dry your tears. When you storm that gate, the treasure is on the other side. Sonja Okay, I'm gonna do something with this sword because I saw it, and I'm gonna take it personal for me and my family, and all the families out there that are going through things, because when you attack my family, whoa, devil, you better watch out. And it's like that with any child of God, with people being under attack with different things. So this gate is not just for me. I don't. I won't believe. I believe it's for many of us. So, Father, right now, in the name of Jesus, I stand at the gate with the sword, doing a prophetic act to cut the head off of this serpent that has attacked my family and my heritage, my inheritance. So, right now, in Jesus' name, I cut it off, and I pick the snake up, and I throw it into the fire of Holy Spirit. Father, we step over the threshold into Your glory, into Your treasures, into Your blessings. Father, in the spirit realm, and I thank you, Father God, for the ecclesia and for all those that have been suffering, Father, that have been under attack through their whatever attacks there are, and Father, I thank you that we step into glory, we step into your presence, we step in to what you have for now, Father, for what you want to do, that your plans and your purposes would be accomplished here on earth as it is in heaven, for the ecclesia, Father. Father, I speak to each and every child of God, Father, with the sound of my voice that's here and those that will listen and those that it will go into the spirit realm, Father, that it would go across this nation, Father, that they would rise up and take their position, and take their gates, take your gate in Jesus' name. Take your gate and go over the threshold, and whatever's stopping you, you stop it, and Father, I thank you that just as David faced Goliath, he didn't run. He didn't have that armor on. He took it off because it was too big for him. It didn't fit right. It wasn't his armor. Father, you've equipped us with our own armor with your word, and Father God, I thank you that we don't run from the battle; we face the giants. Father, we stand strong and we step over the threshold for this nation, for this land, for this region, for this county, for this city, Father, for our families. Father, I thank you right now for the blood of Jesus, Lord, and we set a boundary around us and around this place, around this ministry with the blood of Jesus that the enemy cannot cross. And Father, I decree blessings, Father. Even though, let me tell you something: we take back, we take back this season where the enemy has perverted it for witchcraft. In the name of Jesus, we take it back for God. In the name of Jesus, and Lord, we're not ,I'm not gonna just expect this to happen and expect that to happen because of the way it's always been in the past in the month of October, but Father, we're I'm gonna look at you and what you are doing, and not what the enemy's doing. And if he sticks his ugly head up, we'll cut his head off too. We just cut it off in Jesus' name. We take it back. We take back. Territory for the kingdom of God, which the enemy has perverted, and where wickedness has come in. Father, we take it back. I take it back for Jesus, Lord.. Sonja And Father, I thank you that you are a redeemer, that everything that has been lost, Father, you give back. The enemy's got to get back what he stole seven times, sevenfold return in Jesus' name. Ha, Father, you are a God of redemption. You are God of healing and restoration, and Father, I thank you. Ha, ha! No, in Jesus' name. But we take back what the enemy has stolen in Jesus' name. You get what you settle for, people. That's what I'm hearing the Lord say. You get what you settle for, and if you settle for whatever is looks like in the natural, whatever handed to you, and you come in agreement with that, that's what you get. But the Lord says, "Don't settle, don't settle, because you'll become like sinking sand and get lost in the situation. But the Lord says, "You cannot settle for what the enemy has handed you. That's not God. Absolutely not God. And the Lord says it's time for you to rise up and take your position. Take possession of your own gate, and the Lord says, "Not every gate looks the same. Ha. You know, I think about President Trump and how it's all about securing our borders to keep the enemy out, and what's been going on in the with Hamas and different areas, and how the war and the fighting and the infiltration of the enemy and how God has used him stop a lot of things and a lot of things have happened, but it's securing the border, our borders in the natural for our land and for America, and it's the same thing in our own personal lives. We have to secure our borders, and sometimes that doesn't. You know, it looks different from some for some folks. But I hear the Lord say, "Secure your borders. Secure your borders. Rakha And when you're talking about securing the borders, so what I see when we're storming the gates is I think I'm starting to understand where this is coming from and where this is going. So for the most part, what we have done is we have put the enemy in a border and put them put a gate right there and said, okay, enemy, you this is you, this is you right here in this box. This is your gate, and as Christians, we shouldn't have even done that. We should not have given them an inch to even have. So when we're storming those gates, what we're going in to doing is we're gonna push through that gate. And we're gonna reclaim that that area that we allowed Satan to roam in. Basically, you know, it was, for the lack of a better word, you know, that was that was the area that, I mean, they we allowed the enemy to have that area, but as Christians, we're going to take it back. So whatever, and I'm just putting this out there, especially for Philadelphia, Mississippi, Neshoba County, the state of Mississippi. I'll even go regional and national. Whatever you are, enemy, we're gonna find you. We're storming the gates. We're gonna kick you out of that boundary that you once ruled and reigned over. As Christians, we are coming in. We are taking back what is ours. We're going to be the equivalent of ICE for the Lord. Ruth Ann I just like the thought of being ICE. And come on, and remember, this is what we talked about earlier. Second Samuel chapter 15. David said, "David said, arise and let's flee. Arise and let's go. He said it out of his own mouth. He let the enemy in the door. Y'all see what I'm saying, even though something happened, he said, "Arise, for we shall not escape from Absalom. He's the one that said it. God didn't say it. It's just like Job in the conversation with his three, two friends, three friends. I had to count his friends sitting around. Okay, they had that conversation, and God said, "I can't move as long as y'all talking like this guy, he did. What did he say to Job? I put it in Southern English. As long as you're talking to these folks, I can't do nothing for you. Pray for them. Get up, dust yourself off, and get away from their thought pattern. Isn't that what he said? Come on, I've taught it in detail. I know this stuff, and David wouldn't even take the ark to Jerusalem back with him. He wouldn't take the ark with him. He left God sitting there. Come on, that's bad. Ruth Ann He was mad. He was feeling all pity party. He took on a victim spirit. Can you see that? You want me to tell you what gifting he is? Redemptive gift, mercy. He went victimization. So, what happens then? Finally, when they tell him his own counselors turned away, he finally gets enough gumption in him to say, "Let him give foolish advice. That's all he did, and God answered it, and it turned the whole gate. So sometimes we don't, we can't figure out how Satan got in. We let him roam in our place, and we have to tell him to get out. I like what you said, Rakha. I like being ICE against the enemy and putting them out of the border. Judah team Sang : Revelation19 Sonja You know when we got started this morning, Ruthann was praying and she was talking to the Lord, and she said, "I heard you, Jesus, when you walked in here. I heard your footsteps walk in here, so He's here. So whatever you have need of, whatever you need Jesus to do, He's right here. And I'm telling you, Judah Team Sonja One touch from the Lord, one touch from the Lord, just one touch from the Lord, just one touch from the Lord, and things will change and rearrange. One touch from the Lord. He's looking at your heart. He's looking at your heart. So whatever you have need of, Just ask Him. Thank you, Lord. Ruth Ann Some of us just need to surrender to let him touch us. You know, we sit around and say he's going to touch somebody else, and we need to get that. We need to get that attitude gone and let him touch us. Just one touch, and just let him come and let him take away, take away everything you're carrying, and just let him heal. Just let him heal. Judah Team Sheila Going deep, going deep, deeper. Let him go deep. Let him go deeper. It's deeper than you think. Surrender all. Surrender all. Ruth Ann Just put yourself on the altar and just let him heal you in a different way. Let him heal you deep, both emotional, physical. That is an attitude. Judah Team Sheila Lay that last piece of paper down. That thing you're holding on to, gripping in your fist. Lay it down. Lay it down. Lay it down, give it to Him. It really only works when you give it all to Him. Give it all to Him. Surrender all. Surrender all. to Jesus, to Jesus, to Jesus. Ruth Ann Deeper and deeper. Let him go deep . Let him take all the attitudes. People tell me I have an attitude. I always say I don't. Sonja You know, one of the things that we've talked about when we're coming up to the gate is standing, and something happened. I'm gonna testify. You know, you just testify and you just do it because you overcome, and it just makes the devil mad. But I had something happen to me a couple of days ago. I was carried on a conversation with somebody and listening. Something just rose up. I can't say it rose up in me. It came from me, from my spirit, where there was just a calmness and just a firmness in me. And I'm standing up here, and you're reflecting back over it. And the Lord says, "Share that, because that's what standing is, where you're immovable, unshakable, or that you know something. Now, your emotions might tell you one thing, okay? Because I mean, I know that, but I know one thing: when you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know that you know, and there's just this standing on the inside, it doesn't matter what it looks like on the outside. It doesn't matter. It doesn't. I mean, I'm not saying those things don't exist, but I'm telling you, and I'm standing up here, and the Lord said, "That's standing. That's standing in your faith, because the Bible says without faith it's impossible to please God, and it's faith that pleases God, and it's faith that moves His hand to create and to move on your behalf. But the Lord spoke to me a while ago, and He said, "That's standing in your faith, standing. Judah Team Sheila We gotta stand. Everybody, stand up! Stand up! Gotta stand. Gotta stand. Gotta stand with Jesus.
