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.

Ruth Ann: We have come through AV. We shake off anything from the last season that caught us in bewitchment, and we just let it go. So, Father, we're ready to raise up with you, Father God. We're ready to raise up to a new place, a new place, Father God. That means a new threshold, and we hear the sound of the land today. And the land is ready for you, Father. All of the crud, all of the stuff, all of man's belief system that the land has absorbed and wants your belief system back, Lord. Father God, we speak to the atmosphere here, and we say, "Atmosphere, you be filled with Yeshua, Yeshua. Oh yes, the sound, the frequency, the tone of Yeshua. Father, I heard Chuck call Glory of Zion a portal. So I call Global Vision Faith Center a portal. And from this portal today, Father God, we say, we say we're going to new places. We're going to new places in You. We're going to new places in the physical and the spiritual. We're going into a place, Father God, where it's like being in a, oh my gosh, what am I seeing now? It's like being in the eye of a whirlwind, where whatever's in the whirlwind, we're the place of protection. You step in and step into the miracles. You step in and you step into the place of protection. And so, Father, we just come. We just come, Father God. And while everything else is going around, and people are looking for the way to find themselves out of the whirlwind, we step into the center with you, Father God, with you. We speak to the heavens, and we say we bypass everything in second heaven till we go to third heaven to you, Father.

So come, Father, and meet today, Father, with us. JT Sheila: Stepping up, stepping up, stepping up. Let this fire burn, fire burn. Fiery ones are crying holy. Fiery ones are crying holy around the throne. Fiery ones are crying, Holy is the Lord, May His glory fill the temple, fill the earth. Are you ready? Are you ready for the fire to burn? Are you ready? Are you ready to get out of the old and into the new? Clean up the things that need to be dusted off, cleaned off in His fire. Lay it down, lay it down. Hey. Hmm. Sonja: Well, what I saw was like a-it's not a hornet; it was more like a bee, a bee like a flying bee, but it was huge, and it had its stinger out, and it was from the Lord it was not from the enemy. It was going into the center of the U.S. And then the the vision switched. What I saw was, and I had the tambourine. The Lord kept saying, "Hit it! Hit it! Hit it! Hit it! I saw the the praisers and the worshippers of the Lord, angelic host, going as we were doing the music at a battlefield, and there's a line. There was a line, and they were dancing and they were praising the Lord. Then I saw the ecclesia behind the worshippers, and this is what kind of threw me off because there was more of the enemy than it was of the ecclesia, a lot more. And he says, "You've entered into a battle, and the worshippers, my angelic host of worshippers, have gone before you, and you will defeat the enemy. I saw as the ecclesia moved forward with the angelic host all these demonic entities, I mean, oh my gosh, just all over the place, and they begin to part, and they were hissing, and they were snarling, but the ecclesia went forth to the battle, and won the battle. But where, and I don't know why I saw a bee, but that's what I saw, and it hit in the middle of the United States in the center. Rakha : So this morning when I was getting dressed, the Lord told me, you know how you said the Lord told me to wear my green. Well, the Lord told me to wear my black and white striped shirt and my yellow pants, and I'm like, Lord, I look like a bumblebee. I don't want to wear that. But He told me to wear it. Sonja: That's so cool. That's God. Sonja: Oh, and the Lord said, "Yea, daughter, I told you to wear those colors because of the native bloodline. For the native bloodline that's coming into alignment with Yeshua Hamashiach will carry this nation into the battlefield that they've already won. Hallelujah! Oh my goodness. Sonja: And daughter, that's me. He's speaking this. I told you to wear green because it represents prophetically the wealth, the wealth of the land among the Native Americans and my church, the Ecclesia. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Somebody shout Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Wow, Jesus. Ruth Ann: Okay, so what I saw is I saw different natives in this church, and I was arguing with my vision, and I just said, "Okay, I'll table it, but apparently not. And they were down on the land. I mean, they were sitting on the land. Some of them were leaned over, looking very closely at stones and rocks in the land. And it was nothing bad. It was like, look again, look again, you've overlooked the wealth of the land. Look again, look again, see the wealth of the land. You're not seeing it, but the native people were looking deep. I mean, I mean, I saw the natives that come to this church were looking deep again for the wealth of the land. Wow, wow! It goes with just exactly with what you're saying, and then Isaiah 7:18 says, "In that day, the Lord will whistle for the flies from the Nile Delta in Egypt, and for the bees from the land of Assyria. And He brings the bees when He brings judgment. JT Sonja : We think Jesus is a silly God, but He's on the throne, and His spirit is moving, and He is hilarious, and He is fine. He is serious, and yes, he's already won. So, Lord, we worship you in spirit and in truth. We thank you, Father, for the bumblebee. We thank you for the wealth of the land that's coming on. It's not just coming on; it's been there a while. And oh, Lord, they dig deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep in the land where righteousness and wealth is found. And Lord, we move forward in You. Yes, there's few, but oh, the power, the power, the power that's gone before us, Lord. It's praising, worshiping, dancing and singing, making melody, singing songs of praise, hymns and songs of praise, and the sound, in the sound of your people, Lord, and the sound of the land. We worship you, we honor you, we thank you because you're pretty funny, you're pretty serious, and you're really bold, and you're laughing now at the enemy of all the lies that's been told, 'cause truth will prevail. It's prevailing in the land. Hallelujah! Ruth Ann: But listen to the verse that follows, Isaiah 7:19, and they will come talking about the bees and the flies, and settle in the steep ravines, in the crevices, and in the rocks, and on the thorn bushes, and at the water holes. And in that day, the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates River, the king of Assyria, to shave your head in private parts and to cut off your beards also-that's humiliation. So, Father, as you come into this land to judge, and the bees are called to hide in the crevices and the rocks and the water holes, and so, Father God, as you bring exposure, you reach deep into even this land of Mississippi, and you bring exposure, Father God, you reach deep. You're reaching deep, Father. You're reaching deep. You're sending the bees into the crevices. You're sending them into the places we don't expect them to be there to expose us and to hide. Father God is deep. Is deep in the land, and where the people have been taught to look at the land and not see the wealth, Father God, and not see what's there. Father God, those that have hidden the wealth are about to be exposed. Those that have blinded our eyes, those who have taught us mindset, Father God, that causes us to overlook what's really here, Father God, are about to meet your bees, are about to meet your flies, are about to meet your judgment, Father God. So, Father God, today as your judgment comes into this land, Father God, into this nation, Father God, as it hits the center of the nation and goes out, Father, and the exposure comes to all of those, to all of those. God said, exposure, arrest, trial, convictions. Exposure, arrest, trials, conviction. JT Sheila: Hey, yeah. Can you hear the beat? Step into the beat. Can you hear the beat? It's a war beat. It's a war dance. It's a celebration for the victory. Get in step. Get in God's step in God's time, Oh. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Coming together, coming together. Rakha: So, when we were talking before church, Ruthann was talking about she has a gazebo, and all that gazebo is a vine that has been growing over it, and it's been about 30 years old. And so, what the Lord has highlighted to me is, we may have some people here who are 30 years old. We may have some that are younger. We may have some. We definitely have some that are younger. We definitely have some that are older than that. However, what happened is the whirlwind has come by, and it has taken off the vine and has exposed the newness that was all always there. It was always there, but it was just covered. We couldn't see it, but that whirlwind came by and it uncovered it. And like Sonja was saying, she had to clean something to expose the beauty of a piece of furniture that she had, so that she created that whirlwind of exposure to expose what it had, what there was. So I say this, say all that to say this: the Lord is fixing to release a blueprint to the apostle. However, in order to construct and build what He wants us to build, we have to have all parts. We have to have every subcontractor in every position in order for the apostle to be able to instruct us on building what it is that the Lord wants us to build properly. So, whatever your gifting is, it's time for you to dust it off. It's time for you to allow the whirlwind to come through and take off that vine, so that we can see what it is that you have, what you have, what your gifting is. It's time for you to bring your gifting to the ecclesia. Sonja: And the Lord says, not only will we see the gift that you have, but the Lord will instruct you on your assignment, in your purpose for this season, in what He has called you to do. It's one thing to have a gift, but it's another thing to use that gift. So the Lord says, as the vine comes off, and the gift is exposed, He knows what the gift is, it's time for you to put action to that gift to bring about. Listen, to bring about God's purposes and plans on earth as it is in heaven. So the Lord says, "Shake off, shake off your battle boots. Shake that off from the past season, and step in to the new in what he has for you to do. The Lord says nobody can battle like you can battle because of the size of the boots you wear, the type of battle boots that you wear. So when you have on the right attire, the right boots for the battle, you will fulfill your assignment, and you will stay on your path and not wear somebody else's boots and get on their path because either they're too tight or too little, or they don't fit. He says, wear your own and do what I've called you to do, because the Lord says, and I feel this very, very strongly. It's one thing to know what your gift is, but you can know what your gift is, but if you're sitting on it, it's not bringing about God's plans and purposes on the earth. The Lord says, "Do not be hearers only, but be doers of the word, which is Jesus Christ. Jesus went about doing great and mighty things, signs and miracles, and He said in His word that we would do greater than He did. Y'all, that's a lot, but you cannot drive a parked car. You can have it cut on. You can have all the everything fixed, the gas, the oil, and have all the equipment. But until you put it in drive and you put your foot on the accelerator that carries those warrior boots that's on your feet. You're just you're idle. So the Lord says, take your gift, listen to me, and do what I've called you to do in this season. Amen. Ruth Ann: So your gift is a treasure. So you're looking for treasure, but the first treasure you've got to find is your gift because your gift is going to help you see the real treasures of the land, of your life. Your gift is a treasure, and it's a treasure that God gave each one of you, even me. You know, we were talking before church how we each receive prophetic messages. You know we can land on the same thing and we just receive it in different ways. And I had to recognize my gift of how I receive it and not shut it down, in order for God to use it. But I'm just going to kind of bring something back together, and I'm going to go back because earlier Sonja prophesied about a bee, then Rakha had a conversation with God about a bee on the, so let's just go back, and I'm just going to start. Let me see if I can find my place. And of course, if it's a right prophetic word, it's in God's word, and here it is, Isaiah 7:18. And in that day, the Lord will whistle for the flies from the Nile Delta in Egypt, and for the bees in the land of Assyria, they will come and settle in the steep ravines, in the crevices of in the rocks on all the thorn bushes, and at the water holes. And in that day, the Lord will use a razor hide from beyond the Euphrates. His river, the king of Assyria, to shave your heads and your private parts and cut off your beards. That's when God releases judgment. That's judgment, but that's a good judgment because when God releases judgment of those that's been holding the land, that's been holding the wealth, that's been holding the people with the wrong mindsets. That's what he did today. He's releasing judgment, and you've got to flow with Father. So you've got to find your gift and release your gift. And I saw earlier this morning, I saw probably every native person that comes to this ministry, whether on Wednesday night or on Sunday, and any time in between, and you were looking at the land again. The land looked different to you. I saw you, Leslie, particularly. I saw you looking at the land, saying, "Oh, I've overlooked that. I've overlooked that. And you were saying, "I didn't know there was this much wealth in the land. I didn't know there was this much to be had from the land. I didn't know the land had this much. You see, when you release your gifts and let God use your gifts, and you start flowing your gift, that's your first treasure. It allows you to see how God sees it allows you to move as God is moving. It allows you to know what He's doing. But then God wants us to take that and realize what's really around us, what we have access to, what He put in this land that some people made us believe wasn't here. It couldn't be ours, but it can. If we're His people, it belongs to us. So, Father, we give you back our gifts. Every dreamer, you're sitting on your dreams. Hand him your dreams. Give him your dreams and let him bring it forth. Every seer, because if you would let God show you, you'll see what's really here. You'll see what's really here. That dreamers and seers, you'll see what's really here, you will see. Discerners, you feel it. You feel that's good. That's evil. You feel it. You know what's really here. If you turn your gift on and you let your gift mesh with a seer, and you let your gift mesh with a hearer. You can't hide it. You got to let your gifts mesh together. So you put the whole story together. So if you're a hearer, if you're a feeler, release your gifts to the Lord. If you're called to make money, let God have your gift. Don't hold it back anymore. If you're called to wealth, it is a gift. He created a gift called a giver, and if you think they give away, they don't. They give to God, they're God's givers. If you're an administrator, He created something called a ruler. Aha! They're administrators. That's a gift. That's a gift. See, don't look around and say, "Sonja, you're prophesying. I don't have a gift. Are you administration? That's a gift. Don't hold it back anymore. Rakha: And talking about giftings, so having a gift is kind of like having a car, your own car. Where if you were, if I were to go sit, let's say I were to go sit in Ben's vehicle. Oh, well, he's taller than me, so his seat is probably a little bit further back from the pedals and from the steering wheel. So, in order for me to drive Ben's vehicle, and I can drive Ben's vehicle, it's not my vehicle, it's not my gift, but I can learn somebody else's gift, somebody else's car. I can learn somebody else's car, so I'd have to pull up. I'd have to adjust the mirrors to make sure everything's okay. I would have to learn Ben's vehicle. I would have to learn the radio settings, the where the windshield wipers are, where the turn signals are. I would have to learn somebody else's gifting. Whereas, if I just hop into my vehicle, oh, I'm ready to go, because I know what my gifting is. My car, my gifting. I know what it is. So, Everybody needs to know what their gifting is and how to drive their gifting. What drives your gifting, and everybody's gifting is necessary. We have to have. You can learn anybody's gifting. You know, my vehicle sitting out there is standard. Can you drive a standard? Maybe not, but you can learn how to drive it. You could learn how to drive my vehicle. You can learn how to drive my gifting. But it's just easier for you to learn how to drive your vehicle. It's easier for you to learn how to drive your gift in because it's a gift from God. So it's natural. It's organic. Sonja: And I just want to tack on to this because, and it's really short. But when she's talking about the standard, you have to shift gears. And Rakha, what I saw for you in the spirit realm, shifting gears is moving up and operating in different levels of your gifting. Sheila: I just keep getting this, so I'm gonna say it. Just tagging on. For some reason, I was talking about spider webs the other day and cobwebs, and I was like, "Why do we call them cobwebs? So anyway, I was looking it up, like Ruth Ann always says, Google it. And what it was saying, there was a whole history, but where it comes from. But cobweb is generally refers to an old spider's web that is no longer used. You know how to just be hanging there, and it's not active or whatever. And I keep thinking about the wisteria being pulled off the gazebo, and I'm sure there was lots of cobwebs, things that were hidden that you couldn't see because of the branches. Not that, well, I mean, in this prophetic picture, I think the the wisteria is not good. It's taken over, and so I just I just feel to pray in the name of Jesus. Father, I thank you for the encroachment that is being removed and has been removed. I thank you, Father, for the things that have been covered up, that have even hidden the cobwebs, hidden the places. Even with you talking about the furniture, Father, even the places as we're talking about gifts, things in people that they have just laid down has become old and dormant because of hurt, because of wounding, because maybe because of things in the bloodline, maybe because of not knowing how to use the gift, not being trained. Father, I thank you right now for your wind that is blowing, for your cleansing of the atmospheres and cleansing of the old cobwebs, the things that have been hanging in the way, the old vines, Father, that are no longer useful and no longer needed for this new season. When we need to walk in the new things and really walk in a deeper level in our gifts, where we need to all come together and put together what God has gifted in us to make the picture and bring the army that walks in the beat that defeats the enemy in the name of Yeshua. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. Ruth Ann: So just surrender to the Lord. Surrender your gift. Surrender what you've been hiding. First Corinthians 12:4, there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. They're different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it's the same God who does the work in all. A spiritual gift is given to each of us. Each of us. It didn't say just some people. It said each of us, so we can help each other. To one person, the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice. To another, the same Spirit gives the message of special knowledge. That's discerning of spirits. The same spirit gives faith to another, and to someone else the spirit gives the gift of healing. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the spirit of God or another spirit. Still, another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person shall have. So pick your gift back up. Pick the things you put down back up. Don't be afraid to be called on. Don't be afraid to speak up, give up the fear. That's just what Paul said. Oh, foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you? Well, I can say, Global Vision, who has bewitched you and said you can't do when God says you can. Sheila: And in the midst of that, it's okay to say I like to speak to everything and say I think I have this, or one of the leaders. I think I got this going on. I think maybe gift of prophecy is one of my things, and then submitting to training. You know, it's okay to not be, not feel like you're ready, but to feel like you have something and bring that forward to be trained in. Sonja : I won't say everything that the Lord just spoke to me, but I will. I feel like I need to put this out there because it concerns this ministry, Global Vision Faith Center, and all the ministries that Apostle Ruth Ann McDonald is leader over. But I heard this, and I'll share the other part later, in private, that there's an uncovering taking place, and it's a good thing. There's an uncovering. Amen. So, Father, I thank you for the uncovering. Thank you, Lord. Ruth Ann: Let God uncover you. That's one of the things that sometimes that's the hardest thing to give into is when you'll tell everybody else to go ahead and you'll say, "But God, don't expose me. Well, exposure is not always bad. Exposure sometimes gets you to where you need to be. If I didn't have different people that came around me on my journey, I would have been sitting on a gift, and I might still be sitting on a gift or two. Who knows? So exposure can be a good thing, and don't stop it. Sometimes when it's exposing who God wants you to be, Amen. And the gifts are something to really go into a a deep study on. Let God expose what He needs to expose in you, and then if nobody's letting them expose you, just lean over to that person and say, "I've noticed you seem to move in this. Now let's expose it. You tell, or I'll tell. Yeah, that's a good telling. Right, we need to get this person brought out. Ruth Ann: So Father, as we stand up and as we pray, Father God, when Your prophetic voice is spoken and You've given direction, Father God, and any one here that's gotten off a direction, they can't even remember the prophetic word. We're asking you to rebirth it in them, Father. So just bring back your directions, bring back what you want for every individual. And some of you just need to say, and I don't know who I'm talking to, but when things got bad, you ran and made a lot of bad choices. And God said, "I don't remember him. I just want you to come back to where you're supposed to be. Y'all hear what I'm telling you? Repent means not only God, you're sorry, but it means I have totally changed my direction. See, David ran. You're not a bad person when you ran. David ran. Do you understand what I'm saying? He ran from his problem. Some people get in bad relationships running. Some people make wrong choices about going to school or education or not. I'm being honest, okay? Some people get caught because we ran, but David ran, and he had to face the fact that he ran. He had to face the fact he got in the enemy's camp and was helping the enemy fight. Y'all hear what I'm saying? And then he said, "I got to get back to God, who I was anointed to be, who I'm called to be. Ruth Ann: I hear you, Lord. Let me listen to you. So I'm just going to say, if you just need to come up here and just stand to say, Father, I'm through running. I'm finished, just make a statement. If you feel like you need to make a statement, I'm coming back to my assignment, what you called me to be, who you call me to be, and I realize that you gave me the dominion and the authority to overcome. If you need to stand up here, it's just to say, God, I'm coming back. It's open for you to come up. So Father, we just thank you for each and every person. Anybody online, if you'll just post, I'm coming back. If you'll just put it in the thread, I'm coming back to where I'm assigned to be. I am not running from my assignment ever again, I am taking my place. I am doing my assignment. I am not moving. I am anointed for what God called me to do and be, and I'm letting my gifts take me to where I'm supposed to be. So, Father, in the name of Jesus, Father God, we call this a rededication day to who we're called to be. Father God, we call this and we say, "Who I'm called to be, I will be. Even though I haven't taken the position, I'm walking the path. I will take the stand now that I will be that Father, In the name of Jesus, Amen. Sonja: This is what I hear the Lord say, and it's for all y'all. This is the time, and this is the season, and yes, you will know the reason, for you have surrendered your heart, not only in part, but fully to the call that I have given you. As you step out and you do what I show you to do, you will see more, you will hear more, and the door will be open more. The The Lord says, "The more you seek me, Jesus is the door. And as you knock on the door of my heart, my Son's heart, it's going to open, and you're going to have more revelation, more impartation, more transformation in your life. The Lord says, "Quit looking at the past, and you're moving forward to what is new. And I heard the Lord say, sitting over here, and I thought, Lord, okay. When Ruth Ann was was teaching, and she was saying, and I don't know if I'm gonna say it just right. Quit asking God to bless what you did not obey him, something to that effect. What you didn't obey him, and it was really funny. I'm sitting there, and I heard the Lord say, "Tell them it's time! It's time! It's time to come out of the 80s. It's time to come out of the 90s. It's time to move forward. The Lord said, "There are those of you, and those of you, and those of you that are stuck in the past of what happened to you in 1980 and 75. And the Lord says, "Yes. And there are those that weren't even alive back then. But the Lord says, "It's time for you to get out of the mud and quit being stuck in the past to what was and what happened to you, and walk on through. He says you've been stagnated, you've been stuck in the past. He says it's time to move in to 5787 into His time, into His rhythm, into what He has for you. For those of you that are up here this morning, the Lord says He blesses you. He is well pleased. The Lord also says that there have been those up here that you have been stuck on what happened to you a year ago, and he says healing is a process. But because of your commitment and because you have come forward, I'm washing all that pain, all that trauma off of you because you have committed your heart and said yes to what I have destined for you and what I have called you to. Those things will not affect you. And the Lord says that even the things that have robbed you, your emotions, your joy, your finances, relationships. The Lord says, "This is a new and this is a fresh walk ye in it today, in Jesus' name. Rakha: And I'll kind of add on to what Sonya said because I feel like it affects more than just me, and so the Holy Spirit had said, "Look at your life. Look at the past. Look at from yesterday on back. Where are you at? And I was like, "Well, Lord, I'm here. I'm breathing. It's Sunday. I'm at church. I think I'm doing pretty good. I think I'm doing pretty well. And the Lord said, "Just imagine how much further along you would be had I listened to Him each and every every time. There are sometimes when I am going along that mountain, the side of the mountain, and instead of going straight, I'll go down down this little side door, Side road, and with God's help, I come back up and get back on on that on that road, that main road that He wants me on. But eventually, if I keep going down them little side roads. I might not. I might come to a point in my life where the road is collapsed, and I don't want to get to a point in my life where there is not a bridge ahead of me to get back up on that road that the Lord has me on. So Heavenly Father, I just thank you for today. And Heavenly Father, those many times that I have gone down that path, that unwinding road, and have fallen off of the path that you have set for me, Heavenly Father. I repent for that, and Heavenly Father, you have gotten me to this point in my life, and I thank you for this. I thank you for my health, wealth. I thank you for everything in my life that you have provided to me, to steward. Heavenly Father, I'm ready for more. I'm ready to take on more, and we just come to you today, Lord, and let you know that we are standing here. We are standing here to let you know that we are done with that. We are done with the things of the past. We are done listening to the enemy, and we come forth to hear your word and to follow the map, to follow the path that you have set for us in Jesus's mighty name. Sonja: Rakha, this is what the Lord says to you. You're on a mountain, and you are going around, and you've had you have taken many, many paths. But what I see, I saw a vision as soon as my feet hit the platform, because I was down here prophesying to these people, and my feet hit the platform. I wasn't hearing what you're saying, but I was seeing, and what I saw was you on a mountain. You're in the driver's seat, and it's going really fast. And it also it reminds me of Israel when you're going like when you're going on the mountains, and it's a drop off, and the roads are this narrow, and the little driver's going, and you're hanging on for dear life, but you're in the driver's seat, and the Lord says I am carrying you, and you're going at a high speed to higher levels in me, and you're about there at the mountaintop where things are going to be revealed. And he says, "Don't look over to the side because you're not going to fall off. But he's carrying you, and you are driving, and you are going, and you are persistence, and you are focused in Jesus' name.
