Ruth Ann: Father God, we tell that fire we finished with you. We follow the fire by night, we follow you, Father God, we follow you into the night, Father God, that brings us into the light of day. We see your cloud by day and your fire by night, and we follow, Father God, to Pentecost. And so, Father, today we don't stand at the foot of the mountain and send Moses up. We climb the mountain to you, Father. We climb to your thunder, and we're not afraid of it. We climb, we climb, Father God, way to your fire, the lightning, and the thunder, Father. And we're not afraid of it. We step into it, Father. We step into what you're wanting, Father. We step in, Father. We step in. We not only step in, we jump in. We jump in, Father God, to the sounds of Mount Sinai. We jump in to the sounds of the mighty rushing wind. The wind that was on Mount Sinai, the wind that came to the upper room, was you both times. Oh, Father, we come in. Ruth Ann: And so today, Father God, we they worship baal at the foot of Mount Sinai. We come out of the baal system. Where the baal system has labeled us with woes, where the baal system has said that we're under baal's feet and not over. We come out of the baal system, which is Babylon, and we come to you, Father. We surrender to you, Father. We surrender to lightning thunder. We surrender the pitch, the sound of you, Father. Ruth Ann: So let the thunder come, let the fire fall, let the thunder come, let the fire fall, let the wind blow. It'll let us move to a new level of fire, a new level of fire, a new level of, of just you, Father, a new level, Father God, of signs, wonders, and miracles, and we surrender today, Father God, to your signs, to your wonders, to your miracles, Father. And we don't run back to get who won't come, we make them run to us, we go and they have to run to us, we don't pull back for them, they have to run to us, they have to find you, Father, they have to find you, not the baal system. So Father, we say fire, fire, and wind, thunder and lightning, fire and wind and thunder and lightning, let it come, let miracles abound, Father, let healing, let healing come, let deliverance come to a deeper, deeper level. JT Sheila: There's fire on the mountain. His fire is on the mountain. Are you ready to go? Are you ready to climb? There's fire on the mountain. God's presence is coming down there's fire on the mountain. Do we want to stay at the bottom or look up. Are we ready to climb? Lord, I'm climbing to you, going up, I'm going up, I'm moving up, I'm coming up. Oh, nothing can hold me back. I won't let someone else come up for me. I'm ready to go. Wanna go up for myself and see your face and rest in your fire, your presence, your purifying. Are you ready to go? Are we ready to go? Are you ready to go, ready to go? Fire burning on the mountain. Can you see the glow? Can you feel the heat now? Are you ready to climb? Ready to move in deeper, deeper with him now. There's a place we can go where there's no worry, no fear, no anxiety. Are you ready to go? Are you ready to go? Where there's a boldness to speak his truth. Are you ready to step in? Let him burn up. What needs to go, gotta go now, gotta go now. JT Sonja: I hear the Lord say: There's fire in the valley too. When you think you're consumed by the enemy God's got you in a place where all you need to do is look up, he's on the mountain top calling you to come out. Let it go, let it go, let it go, all the stuff around you. Let Him burn , let him burn through out you and you'll be just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Coming out of the fire on the mountain top where healing flow. Don't resist the fire, don't resist his fire, let it burn , let it burn , let it burn this very hour. Rising above the situation you're going through, you'll take off like the eagle and soar above the moon. Let it burn, let it burn, let him burn, let him burn in you. Come up higher, come up higher, so you can see the truth. He's in the fire, he's in the fire with you. JT Sheila: Fourth man in the fire with you, you're never alone now. There's never a moment that we are alone now. Sonja: You know one thing about the Lord. He said this to me , I don't waste anything. I don't waste anything, anything, the good, the bad, the ugly. He don't waste nothing. He is all sufficient. He is limitless. And what we all got to do, and what the ecclesia got to do, is get their eyes off themselves and get their eyes on Jesus. Because whatever you focus on is what's going to be magnified. But when you focus on Jesus, and he's magnified all this other stuff, he doesn't waste it. Hallelujah. JT Sonja: Let Him burn, let Him burn in you. Open your eyes, open your eyes, and see the truth. Rise above, rise above rise above on the mountain top. He's in the fire with you. Ruth Ann: So this is what I hear. God just said pray in tongues, so just pray in tongues. Global Vision : prayed in tongues Ruth Ann: I hear the Lord say, He said, 'Stop, and He's going to show you what you've got to lay down for the next level. So just put it down, put it down, whatever it is, put it down, put it in his fire, and let him refine it. Let him do it, let him fix it, let him do it. And now the Lord says, let me take you to a new tongue, a higher place, a higher place. So, just surrender your tongue again to Him, and let Him take you higher. Let Him let you pray in a tongue you've never prayed in before. You know, let Him speak through you in that tongue, and you speak in that tongue you've never spoken before. So, just when you're ready, just pray. Just pray in tongue. Ruth Ann: He said, pick it up, pick it up, pick up the pick up the strength of your gifting, pick up the strength of your gifting, whatever your gifting is, let it increase, let it increase, let it increase, if it's sound, let it increase, if it is prophetic, let it increase, if it is teaching, if it's seed, whatever it is, let it increase, let it come, let it come, and let him magnify through you. Let him increase you go up, up, up, up to a different place, let it fall on you, let him increase, let him increase your gifting. If you can heal the sick, then go deeper, deeper. Let him increase you in that ability to heal, even determinedly ill. Let him increase, let him increase, let him increase. If you have an anointing for wealth, let him increase it now. Let him increase it, if you haven't got it , pray in tongues again. Pray till you get it. Pray to you, feel the increase. You let yourself go, you let yourself go, and you let him come in. Rakha: So while everybody was praying in tongues, the image that I got was it goes along with the beat of the drum. And what the drum is beating is, the Lord is chopping down trees today, and what I saw was the lumberjack chopping the trees down, and then there's an ox there with a cart, and what it's doing is loading up the cart with the trees, and what that symbolizes is that growth. The ministry is going to be receiving, receiving new, receiving more resources from the earth. The resources are coming to us, coming to the ministry, and that's what the, that's what the drum is symbolizing today, the drumbeat. Ruth Ann: We receive that Lord, we receive the resources. We say, Earth, oh earth, oh earth, we welcome your increase. We receive your increase. We work with you, earth, because you are the Lord's. Oh, earth, we receive the increase, we receive it. Sonja : And also with trees being chopped down. When she said that, I heard the smell. I heard this. I didn't smell it, but I heard it, and I saw it. Can you hear? Can you hear smell, but anyway, cedar, cedar, cedar trees, cedar. Ruth Ann: Deborah's telling me the brick, that's there's this piece of cedar that's under that camel, you know, what we were pulling up was the hard cedar at New Year's Eve was the cedar , or the hard thing that was in our foundation that was wrong. Ruth Ann: We said the camels are coming, The camels, the camels is what brought wealth in the time of Jesus. So, Father, we receive the increase, the increase, and so, Father God, where Israel destroyed the wealth of a nation. Father God, we receive, we receive, and we prosper, we increase the wealth, Father God. We do not destroy the wealth. So, anywhere in our DNA, anything has destroyed wealth. If anything is in our DNA now that destroyed wealth, we let you pluck it out, Father God. We let you pull it out. We surrender it to your fire. We put it in your fire, Father God. Anywhere this ministry is ever, ever mishandled wealth, we pluck it out and we burn it, and we receive, Father God, we receive, we receive from the earth. Ruth Ann: In the Bible, the cedar trees symbolizes strength, majesty, durability, righteousness, glory, spiritual statue, protection, and kingdom building. The cedar trees are talked about in Psalms, Ezekiel, Song of Solomon's, First Kings, and Isaiah. They were the prize because the cedar tree is resistant to decay and insects, is fragrance, it's tall and strong and is valuable for building temples and palaces. And it says in Psalms 92:12 the righteous shall flourish like the cedar trees, he shall grow like the cedars of Lebanon. So, Father, we receive your work, we receive what you're doing, Father. So, Father God, we become more stable, more, more stable in you, Father. New place, new place, like the standard trees, Father. Sonja : You know, there's a thing that Holy Spirit's doing here today, talking about mountains, we're talking about trees, we're talking about valleys, fire. Sheila: So I just feel to share something that the Lord is. I said some things this morning that the Lord is working in me. It started with a dream, and I was just spending time with Him this morning. And the back story is, bird house that Darrall gave me, probably two or three years ago, for I think Christmas, that has one of them little cameras. I love my birds, and so you can watch it nest. And so I've had it up, and we moved it once. It's got Wi-Fi, you know, so you see what's going on. And it's been empty until this year, but I didn't even see the first nesting thing, because I didn't see it. I'd quit looking at it. I'd given up on it, and I saw the baby birds had already come out of the nest. I heard them just making a fuss, and realized, looked at my camera, and realized they had been in there this whole time, and I hadn't seen it. So, it was like, wow, cool, you know. And so, clean the nest out. Well, two blue birds started making nests in it. You know, it's not really at a spot, it's not really specifications. I love my blue birds, but they're kind of particular, so I was really surprised. So we've been watching it, watching them nest, make build the nest every day, every morning, back and forth, and you know, the Lord knows that's one of my things, is the birds watching the birds. So, like, three or four days ago, they didn't weren't coming in anymore, you know what's going on with that. So, finally, last night, so I'd had Nick move his car, so wouldn't be in the way. I had to move it back in case they needed that to be able to see the nest, and I was just like, Lord, you know, and it was like the Lord was trying to tell me just chill out, and I was kind of listening, halfway listening, and last night I just read, I put it, you know, Google it. Do they do they quit after they build the nest? Is their absence for a while? And they said yes, they can take a break. It's called a honeymoon period, sometimes three or four days. Like, cool, but I was still like, still kind of in this thing, you know, where we get is this really cool thing that I want to happen. Is it really going to happen? So this morning Darrall looks, and I had looked, and there was nothing. He looks, he saw the mama bird on the nest, and she flew out, and there was one blue egg in that nest, this morning, Pentecost weekend. And what the Lord and I was, as we were talking about what are we putting in the fire, I heard worried, there's things that I'm believing for, but I'm worried about them, right. And I kept seeing the nest in my mind, the empty nest, and then the nest with the one blue egg, and it's like I felt heard the Father say is your lack of faith, so that worry is there because you don't have the faith, which is believing in something for you hope for, but you hadn't seen yet, so now that the eggs there is not faith, it's real, right, so there's several other things, which seems like a really small thing, but I keep seeing in my mind, and it's like I hope I took a picture of the empty nest , because I keep seeing in my mind the empty nest. So, that's where the faith is. It's not there yet, it's empty, but then there's an egg. All of a sudden, in a moment there's an egg, and there's several things that I've been hoping for that I haven't seen yet. And it's like Sheila, do you know, or can you take this, and can you take a picture of that egg in that nest and say it's coming, like I always have your best, and maybe the timing or the process is not necessarily like you're expecting, but can you have the faith, so like in the midst of the fire, when we're hoping, don't give up, don't quit pressing in, because it's coming. And so, Father, when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and I can't say their Hebrew names, I always try to say that instead of their, the name Babylon names, but Father, when they were in the, they went into the fire without seeing you yet. They walked in that fire, and you weren't there when they first went in. It was when the king looked later, he said, "Who's this fourth man in the fire? But you came and met them in the midst of that, because they knew you could, and they went in knowing that their life lives were in your hands. And so, Father, help us be willing to truly walk in the fire, even though we hadn't seen the thing yet, maybe we haven't seen Jesus, Yeshua, in the fire yet, but you're in our process, whether we see you or not, whether we feel you or not. Grow our faith. I keep saying, I keep thinking about Thomas, you know, he didn't believe till he saw it, and Jesus said, How much better if you could believe before you saw I was here. So, Father, grow our faith. Let us step up to new levels, and then maybe it's not just faith, whatever our thing is, let us step up to the new next level in you. The next thing, embrace, embrace what we gotta embrace, and lay down what we got to lay down, so that empty nest isn't empty anymore. We believe it before we see it. JT Sheila: Let a new sound come out of us, Lord, a new sound, sound of faith, sound, the sound of faith, sound of our faith in you. It's not a faith in us, it's a faith in you, and what you're doing, because you are a good God. You are a good God. Oh, will you walk through the fire today? Will we walk through the fire today? You're way is better, Lord. Not our way, no way. Your way is better, Lord. We're moving with you. Sheila: It's like, just for each one of us, there's a picture God wants to give, like for me that nest empty, and then with the egg. What is your picture that He wants to give you, so that you know that you know that you know that He's here in everything, that he's right there, that he's working. JT Sheila: You gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, you JT Sonja: He's the God in the mountain, he's the God in the valley, he's the God in the fire, he's the God in the nest, he's the God on the mountain, he's the God in the valley, he's the God in the fire, he's the God in the nest. Open up your eyes and see. He is the best. Open up your eyes and see, and come into his rest he's the God on the mountain, he's the God in the valley, he's the God in the fire, he's the God in the nest. As you open your mouth as the little baby birds, and make the noise. You'll prophesy your future and be victory. Make some noise, make some noise, make some noise in the fire today. Open up your heart and hear what He has to say. You're coming out, you're coming out without a stench of smoke on you. Sonja: You know, driving over here, I was just listening to the Lord, and I was listening to some music someone sent me this morning of worship, and it was so good. And the Lord began to speak to me about prophecy, and I was just listening and conversating with him, and marinating over what he was saying to me about prophecy. And he says, you know, you've heard people say that you're the prophet over your own life, because life and death are in the power of the tongue, and what you say is what you're going to get, whether it's negative or whether it's positive. I said, "Yes, sir. I said, "I get that. I said, "What are people saying over their life. When you prophesy, when someone prophesies, or you prophesy over your life, you're speaking into something that hasn't happened yet. Okay, and the Bible says in the, and he told me, he says, "You know, Sonja, he said, you know, according to your faith being unto you, you can prophesy to a level that you have faith for, to believe me, for because everything operates in faith. The Bible says, without faith, it's impossible to please God. You can't throw the baby out with the bath water. Amen. Faith is what pleases God. He says, you call those things that be not as though they are, and the more you prophesy something, the more you speak it out, your faith increases. So he was just talking to me about people and words, and what people are saying over their destiny, over their life, and what they've come into agreement with, whether it's positive or negative, and they're speaking it out, and they're reaping the benefits, or not benefit, not, you know, whether it's, it's good, if it's beneficial for you in the Kingdom of God, but it's, it can be destructive also. So, as you speak words over your life, and you prophesy into the future, it becomes a reality into the present. I don't think I could say that again if I tried. Prophecy is very important. Sonja : The word of God is the sword of the spirit, so if you want to take a giant down, you use your sword. When David last night, I was thinking about King David, and I was thinking about Goliath, and I was thinking about that whole scenario, and the Lord gave him five stones, and it only took one to take him out, but it wasn't the stone. Listen to me, this is the revelation that I got last night, and you go have to take it with the Lord if you don't agree with this, because this is my revelation that God gave me. It wasn't the stone that actually killed Goliath, what did David do? He said, 'You come with me with a spirit of sword or something like that, but I come to you in the name of the Lord. He prophesied the releasing of the stone was the prophetic act of God's power of His word that David spoke. That's my revelation, and I'm sticking to it, because God said that to me. Prophecy is important, y'all. The Bible says life and death are in the power of your tongue. So, if you're praying the victim, and woe is me, as we address this morning before the service, then you're already defeated, because you've just opened the door to the enemy to empower what's going on in your emotions. Hear me, use the sword, the word of the Lord to defeat your enemy. When Jesus and the Lord showed me this morning, He says, "Son, when, when Jesus was up thereon that mountain top and Satan was tempting him, telling him all these verbish. What did Jesus do? He quoted the word and defeated Satan. You know, I was thinking, y'all hear me now, because I, Lord, help me. I was thinking this morning I said, Lord, I've got on a little hot pink notepad at my job. I brought it home and put it on my because I had to bring it home. I've had it for months, and it says, and I wrote it down. I don't know where who said it, but I wrote it down because it stuck with me. The best defense is offense. And so many times we stay on the defensive, fighting the devil all the time, and fighting and fighting and fighting. Yes, we gotta fight. I'm not saying we don't, but God wants me, me at a place where I'm fighting on the offense before the attack happens, covered it in the word of God. Years ago, this was years ago, I went through a period in my life where, for two years, y'all. I'm ashamed to say this. I'm not ashamed, because it's a testimony, because I learned a valuable lesson. I quit praying about some things, just quit praying. I just gave up, wasn't seeing nothing, just gave up. Hell broke loose in my life. It was awful, and the Lord reminded me what I had done, and I repented. When you are at the brink of victory, the enemy will come in like a flood, but the Lord says, I raise up a standard against the enemy, for I am your great champion. I am the great warrior, and I will fight for you. Just when you're about to give up, God's about to show up, and we're singing about being on the mountain top. God doesn't want us falling off the mountain. Back in the valley again, once we get to the mountain top, he wants us to keep soaring. Amen. What we say, what we prophesy, the word of the Lord, it does not return void, but it accomplishes that which it sent forth to do. And I was looking at the armor of God this morning. I was just in my, in my, my heart, in the spirit. I was looking at it, and we have the helmet of salvation, we have the breastplate of righteousness, but we have the sword of the spirit. The breastplate is right here. The sword is out here, cutting away and stopping the attacks from the enemy from trying to hit us in the chest, and all the armor that we have on. The word of the Lord is our first line of offense to use against the devil. It ain't the helmet, it's the sword of the spirit, it's the word of God. So, whatever you've been saying over your life and your situation. I pray that the Holy Spirit, because I don't know, I pray Holy Spirit will show you, and you know what happens when you start quoting the word, the sword, it affects your mindset, your mentality, your thinking, it protects your heart. You have the belt of truth on, and you're able to walk in the gospel of peace of Jesus Christ in the offense, in an offensive manner. Sonja: Father, those that have ears, let them hear what you are saying this morning, because Father, I know that if you are saying this to me, you're saying it to other people too that need to hear this, let them hear, Father, and grab a hold of Your word in Jesus' name. I know I used the word, and I said it on purpose, because the Lord had me too. We talk about the first line of defense, but the Lord says no, it's the first line of offense, thinking ,thinking like God, amen. When David swung that rock, it was a demonstration of God's power, and how powerful he is. Amen. Sonja: I heard this. I don't know what all it means, but this one I heard: gold, gold. Where are you? Gold, gold, gold. The enemy had a hold. Gold, gold is being released. Gold, gold. You'll see it. You'll see it. I keep hearing gold, gold, it has to do with the resources with the trees she was talking about. Ruth Ann: Johnny Enlow stood right here where I'm standing, and he said, I saw a literal gold. I saw literal gold being found around here, and heard the Lord is coming. I heard that the Lord is coming. I want y'all, y'all get the words. I heard the Lord is coming to cause a mini gold rush, extend it more into the state of Mississippi, but it was around here in Philadelphia. I saw in the spirit the destiny of the city. It's a beautiful city, lots of colors, trees, a city of 100,000 people, sometimes in the future. So the goal has to come before the 100,000 people, but you know, the city, this town has been growing and growing and growing, and it keeps growing. Okay, and you just say where all of the people are coming from, sometimes you wonder, right? And then you wonder why they're here, right? Okay, and the traffic gets tighter and tighter and tighter. Okay. So, welcome to the day of Pentecost. Okay, we are here.
