102526 Master Key



Ruth Ann: Father God, how to reach down and turn the locks that brings you back into this land, back into each part of the United States, because we're seeing it bigger and bigger than just us. Father God, show us, Father God, which key is going to unlock things, Father God, to bring you, Father, to let your glory flow, Father God, because you said 2027 is ours. It's the year of multiplication. It is the year for your people to multiply. So, Father God, in the name of Jesus, we come and we are ready to unlock that your glory can flow, Father God. That you can flow, Father God, and that you become you become the central focus of everything, Lord Jesus.

 

Sheila: We had a whole lot of keys that I thought we have a master key that opens everything, like all the rooms. Oh, that's good. And we had a whole lot of keys that I thought were just like for the classrooms. Well, it turns out they are all masters. They opened everything in this church, a whole lot of them.

 

Sonja: That's good. Yes, we are the key.

 

Sonja: I want to share this. What I saw with the root system and the web in the demonic, when there is a like she was talking about a straight line of anger, and you know how in a root system I'm thinking about a plant and how it'll put off a root. [Lord, help me explain this. What I'm seeing] Within a on a web, let's do this on in a spider web. They'll start and they'll go this way, and then they'll go this way to attach to something, and then it's all these fibers of that web that that crisscrosses with one another. Okay, when there's a straight line being,[ I'm telling you, God, I see it.] When there's a straight line in that web, then hat happens is it opens the door. That's the open door for the other things, the demonic things, to come off of it that compile, and you have to get to the root system. You have to get to the root. It's the same thing with a good root in our DNA. We may have whatever that blessing is, whatever that call is, whatever that mantle is that takes a root, and then the and then on that one root, other roots sprout that are Godly, and you have to get to the root system to unlock it.


 

Sonja: And as I was sitting out there. I kept getting master key, master key. Rakha you hit it. That is so good. And this morning, coming over here, I saw this. Anyway, I was tearing down a web that had begun, demolishing it. It wasn't. fully formed yet, and the Bible says that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. And I said, Lord, because I saw the the big one over here that's being you know, and then I saw this one over here that was forming, and I started dismantling that that web, and it's but it's the same thing with the root system where there's blessing in our DNA where there's callings. I mean, we are blessed of God, y'all, and everything that God says above all, I want you to prosper even as your soul prospers, and you know, and you know, I was listening to Chuck coming over here, and boy, he was nailing it left and right, talking about your emotions, talking about it was so good. And so I started personally calling my soul into alignment with, the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. Where, you know, a lot of times I'll say, "Lord, I call my soul into alignment with my spirit," and the Lord corrected me this morning. He said, "You call your soul in alignment with Me, my Son, and Holy Spirit." Isn't that good, Ruth Ann? Girl, we are the key. We are the master key that unlocks all the the stuff in our life. And Father, I thank you. 

 

Ben Stephens: I came across Isaiah 22:22. I will give him the key to the house of David, the highest position in the royal court. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them. When he closes doors, no one will be able to open them.



Ruth Ann: Have the master key, according to that verse, is the highest position. And read it again: it's the highest position in the royal court.

 

Ben: The highest position in the royal court. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them. When he closes doors, no one will be able to open them.


Ruth Ann: That's huge. It's the highest position. So when we're not unlocking things, we're letting our position go.

 

Sheila: Can y'all read that one more time? Read it again. Yeah, loud.

 

Ben : Isaiah 22:22. I will give him the key to the house of David, the highest position in the royal court. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them. When he closes doors, no one will be able to open them.


Ruth Ann: Giving you the key of David, the highest position in the royal court. That's big. So to have the right key and to have the keys is the highest position in the royal court. So Father, where we have missed that. Oh, Father, I just repent. I repent, Father God. I just start for this ministry. Anywhere we've ever missed having the key is the highest position, where we thought something else was the highest position. The key is the highest position. Who holds the key?  So, Father, we come, Father God, and we say where we've overlooked holding the key is your highest position in your court.

 

Ruth Ann: And see, when we came back from Israel, we were so particular to bring back the keys to the land. We found it with me today. We found the key in the upper room, and God sent us back with a key from the upper room. 

 

Ruth Ann: So God said, "Rattle your keychain. Look how many keys you have." And He said, "Look how many you still had put on your keychain." He said, "Let me put them on there."

 

Judah Team: Rattle your keys, eh?. We have the keys. We have the keys. Oh, We are the key. We are the key to unlock the doors. Open your mouth and let Him feel it more. We are. are the key. We are the key. Let this word flow from your belly out your mouth. We are the key. We are the key.

 

Sonja: You know, I was thinking about how in these old houses there was a key for every door, and they called them. They called them skeleton keys. And I've been sitting, standing, and then we were talking about the keys. I kept hearing skeleton key, skeleton key. Why did they call it a skeleton key? I don't know why. I don't know why they called it a skeleton key because they're skinny, but when I came up here, I heard the Lord say, It's okay that it's called a skeleton key, because in the spirit realm, you don't want all the junk attached to your key, because then you get mixture, and so when you use your key correctly, it builds. It builds, and it becomes the master key. Because you're overcoming obstacles and you're cutting off ungodly things in your bloodline and in your DNA when you use your key correctly. And what I saw was a skeleton key, those old-timey skeleton keys. And every time we quote the word out of our mouth over into the atmosphere, we're building that master key in our own life, in our own DNA, and in our bloodline. I don't know if that makes sense, but that's what I saw. That's what I heard. So we are the key that unlocks the door to whatever has been locked up and bound by the enemy, and even y'all, even we unlock doors that are Godly. That God's not keeping them from us; He's waiting on us to open the door, because Jesus is the door, and the only way you can open that door is to run to Him and use your mouth. So not every door that's locked, and not everything that's locked up, is bad. That's what I'm hearing. It's not. It's not necessarily bad. There's bad, and there's good, and there's evil. Whatever the enemy's withholding from you, and it's been locked up for generations in your bloodline, and things that have been locked up in the that God, things that God has for us in our bloodline that has never been released through our ancestors, through our DNA.


Ruth Ann: So a skeleton key got its name actually in 1796. because it was stripped down to the bare essentials, much like the framework of the body. So it it relates to your bare essentials. Your bone structure is your first essential for everything to stand up, and it's used to unlock multiple locks. Which is huge, multiple locks. There's one other thing, but it goes with which Ben's already read Isaiah 22:22. Read of Revelations 3:7.

 

Ben: Revelations 3:7. Write this letter to the angel of the church in Philadelphia. This is the message from the one who is holy and true, the one who has the key of David. What he opens, no one can close, and what he closes, no one can open.

 

Ruth Ann: Our mouth is our key. We have a lock we can lock and unlock. Our mouth is our weapon. We can lock and unlock. In what we lock, no one can open. In what we unlock, no one can close.

 

Sonja: There's some things, y'all. We need to lock up. Access denied.

 

Judah Team: Sound is a key. Our sound is a key. Dance is a key. Our movement is a key. Our alignment. 

 

Team Judah : HELP IS ON THE WAY           , 

 

Judah Team: Jesus always has a way. Jesus always has a key. There's nowhere we can be that He hasn't seen. Jesus always has a way. Yes, He always has a key. There is nowhere that we can be that He hasn't seen, hasn't been. Oh. Help is on the way.


Sonja: You know, I think about when Daniel prayed. I believe it was Daniel. Wasn't Daniel? It took 21 days for him to get his prayer answered.


Judah Team sang:     Help is on the way.



Judah Team: When we're coming into these midterms and it seems. Seems like the troubles are starting, but Jesus says they're full term, and He's coming in the middle of them. Help is on the way. Help is on the way. Help is on the way. on the way. Help is on the way. He's on the way. The devil can defeat him. Really, the devil cannot delay, our Jesus, the help is on the way. Keep your eyes on Him. Help is on the way. Help is on the way

 

Judah Team Sonja: Help is on the way. Oh, He's on His way. Help is on the way. See Holy Spirit is our helper. Help is on the way. Oh, help is on the way now. Take your key and open the door. Oh, my goodness! There's so much more. Help us on the way. Gotcha! Ha!


Judah Team sang : BUILD A BOAT


Ruth Ann: Here we are, and Tuesday happens to be the anniversary of when Noah's flood started. He closed the door. He built a boat. He built a boat when they'd never seen rain. Because God told him, it's amazing. But look, you got to realize it's also the anniversary when God judged the wickedness in the earth. Wow is the anniversary of the judgment of the wicked. So you can always watch God because He remembers those dates. Wow! Just think about that. Yeah, I'm just saying, just saying, it's the time of judgment of the wicked.


Sonja: While they were singing that song, I heard the Lord say, "There are those you need to build your boat. You need to build your boat, and you need to lock the door to the enemy. And the Lord says, "I've made a way of an escape for you, and I will cause it to rain." Though the enemy would like to parade around as though he is the victor, the Lord says, "I'm going to rain on his parade with my glory and demolish the works of the enemy in your life and in this nation, and the Lord says, "You build your boat by focusing on me and what I tell you to do." Just as Noah was obedient to what I told him to do, and everybody thought he was nuts. But the Lord says he wasn't nuts; he was being obedient. The Lord says you've got to stop listening to the naysayers. You've got to stop listening to the multiple multiple voices that are speaking to you. That's not me, and build your boat. The Lord says, "For I've made a way of escape for you individually and in this nation, but as long as you listen to the outside voices, your boat won't be built, and when I rain, you will drown." But the Lord says, "I've given.". You the lifeboat of my word, and as you build your foundation on my word, and you build your own boat, I will cause you to rise up in the storm, and you will sail to many places in the spirit, and I will cause you to land On solid land, solid foundation. Who is me. And the Lord says, "What am I telling you to do? What am I telling you? Are you listening to what I'm telling you to do? Build your boat. Take your key, which is your mouth, my word, and lock it where the enemy cannot get in. And there you will find much, much multiplication in your life, in your generations to come, there will be multiplication in America. There will be multiplication in America. Come on, there will be multiplication in America, and the Lord says, "You know, when I told Noah to build the ark, and I told him to gather every animal, two of its kind, both male and female, that was for multiplication purposes." And the Lord says, "The enemy has come and infiltrated this land and in your life that's caused mixture of religion that has literally tried to choke out my ecclesia. But the Lord says, "I have a remnant. I have my people." And the Lord says, "This is a time of judgment. Judge your words wisely. Judge your actions wisely. Judge your motives wisely. Come on, because it's your choice, and when you choose me, and you choose on the right side of what I put in you, there's great multiplication. And when you get to the other side, and you get to the land which I've called you to, and the and you're you're built on the foundation which is me, and it is true. You will find, oh my goodness, much, much blessing and prosperity will come into your hands, and it will form this land With wealth, wealth not just the wealth where it causes money to come into your hands, but wealth within your soul for which you stand. So the Lord says, "Build your boat." Some boats are going to look different than other boats. Some are going to be big and large. Some will be small. But just because your boat is small doesn't mean that blessings for you are left Out, for the Lord says, "I've called many to do my will and to fulfill my plan in America, and there are those that have fallen short, and I'm judging them. For there are those that I have dealt with for generations in their bloodline, and they say, "Lord, not this time." But the Lord says, "I've removed my hand from those, and their demise is on them, but the Lord says, "I have called those that from generations back to rise up and take my hand, and I'm speaking to them today, and they're reaching out to me to what I have to say." And the Lord says they're building their boat that will cause a shift in this nation and in this land. And the Lord says. Don't build your boat in the sand because it's not a firm foundation. He said, "You build your boat on solid ground, and that is me." Hallelujah.


Judah Team : You're the map. You're my compass. You help me navigate the currents under me. Take the key. I surrender. You're the map. You're the map. You're my compass. You help me navigate the currents under me, take the key. I surrender.

 

  Y'all have a great day. Hallelujah.

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.

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.
