Keep Smiling

October 13, 2024

Sonja

Huh, for the words that are written that are alive and active in the earth today. And I, thank you, Father, for the sound of your spirit that drives the enemy far far away. I thank You, Father for your song that you're singing. Deliverance is here because holy spirit is near. I thank You, Father for the fire and the wind of your spirit as we yield our vessels as we yield our vessels to the One true living God, Jehovah, provider. Praise You, Lord. praise you.


Sonja

Driving over here, I was just, I've been in the presence of the Lord, oh my goodness. And I would say, Lord, you know, we talk about going to that higher place in you. And the LORD, begin to talk to me about that, and he says, there's a lot of Christians that feel pressure that's not of Him to go to that high place, because it's like they're trying to get their striving to get there. And he says, it's real, real simple, and I want you to tell them. I'm telling you what he said to me. He says, you get to the high place by yielding. God looks at your heart. You're not trying to get your flesh there. You're wanting to soar in the spirit to that higher place. It's not like you're going to jump up and you're going to be up in the sky somewhere or on a building. You soar in the Spirit, and you go to the high place by yielding your spirit and being open to whatever he wants and whatever he wants to show you, whatever he wants to speak to you. And then, as he gives you things in Prophecy, a lot of times, he will only give me a word, and I go with that word, and he gives me the rest of it as it flows, but it's a willing heart to speak out what He tells you to speak out, what to declare in your time of soaring, whether you're alone in your room, in your prayer closet, in your car, or whether you're in an assembly like this, and the Lord says, take the pressure off. Quit striving. He wants you to thrive in the spirit. It's real simple. You have to quieten your soul and your mind to the noise around you and what happened five minutes before you come in here, or whatever happened yesterday, or an hour before you got here and you yield. It's all about yielding your spirit and coming in union with Him. So He says, take the pressure off of yourself. Well, we're talking about Sheila sings about rising up and standing up and going, moving up and pressing in, pressing you're pressing in with your spirit, not your soul, and not your body. And when you do that, your spirit, man is dominant over your soul and your body, and you will go there. Amen. So that's what he was talking to me about, about going to the high places, renewing, hearing and seeing, because he wants us to go there, but it's a matter of yielding . Amen. I


Ruth Ann

So Father, we thank You that we can come to the high places with you. We can stay in a high place. We can be with you, Father. And what the Lord is showing me, as Sonja was talking, I see his army gathering behind. Him, and I see the Lord on his horse, because he's riding. He said, I ain't losing, and my people are going to learn how to win. You hear what I said? He said, I'm not losing, and my people are going to learn how to win. He never loses. We just got to learn how to win with it. We got to learn how to win. And there's a lot of mindsets that the Lord is wanting to change over the next few years, over the next few days, over the next few months, but I see him on this horse and his armies behind him, and he's got his eyes focused. He's got his eyes focused on the intensity of everything that's going on. He is focused. He's focused on where the enemy is. He's focused on what the enemy is doing, and he's focused on winning. But what I see, I see him with a red robe coming across down off of his shoulders, and it's coming down off of the back of the horse, and it just turns into a flowing river of His blood that his people on their horses are standing in. He said, My army's protected. My army's just gotta learn to win. My army's gotta have visions of winning. My army's got to have visions of me and control. My army's got to have visions of my kingdom come. My will be done on earth as it is in heaven. My army's gotta feel it, see it, breathe it. My army's got to know that it's me. My army's got to live it and come soar, meet me in the spirit realm so you can see. Come soar, meet me in the spirit realm so you can see, but I want You to see so you'll win.


Sonja

Do we really understand? Do we really understand the power of the name of Jesus? Do we really understand even the demons knew who he was and said, Jesus, have you come before our time? We are joint heirs with Jesus Christ, seated in heavenly places. We are the hands and feet of Jesus on the earth in the natural doing great exploits for the Kingdom. When people look at you, do they seek Jesus? Do we understand how powerful his name is? The Bible says that anything you ask in my name, believing that you have it you can have it according to His plan, according to his Word. It's not because of who we are, but because of who He is in us. That same authority in the name of Jesus, God has given to us his children to use. Do people see Jesus in us? Do they see the authority and the power and the anointing that we carry? Do they see the glory of God in our lives? There is no other name that's more powerful than Jesus. His name is not just to be thrown around as a noun or a verb or an adjective, but his name establishes things in us and on this earth and in the atmosphere, when we know who we are in Him, we sang, hallelujah. Lord Almighty reigns. Hallelujah. Glory to His Name. We have to get a revelation of the name of Jesus, amen. Amen


Sonja

How are we going to defeat the enemy if we don't know who we are in the authority of His name, how are we going to overcome if we don't understand the name of Jesus that is more powerful than any principality, power or wickedness or demonic structure in us, in our home, over our cities, over our state, and over This nation and the nations .we are glory carriers. There's a baptism of fire in the name of Jesus that's coming to the body of Christ, that's coming to the ecclesia, into the land. I just decree it in Jesus name, and I declare that everything that is not of God, will burn up, and everything that is that fire will purify it, in us and in the land and in the atmosphere.


Sonja

The Lord says, Do not look to man to stir the embers in your soul and in your spirit and in your body. Do not look to man to stir up the Holy Ghost that's within you. He says, You come to me. You focus on me. You come sup with me. You come feed on me, and I will fill you with that fire. I will fill you with water that you don't even know that I have, but by my Spirit. He said, there are those that have been filled with the Holy Ghost that's using yesterday's fire, yesterday's infilling, but the infilling of the Holy Ghost is every day, every day, and it is up to us as we yield to him. He says, Do not look to man to get stirred up in a meeting. He says, You come to me in your prayer closet. He says, You assemble together to learn and to grow and to come into a unity of power, a union of power, he says, but when you individually come to me and spend that time with me, and you come into a service, you bring the fire, you breathe the infilling of the Holy Ghost that will spill over to the sinner sitting next to you, that will drive demons out of your services and off your land. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I woke up this morning and there's a shift in me. I can't explain it. I don't have to explain it. But God is moving. God is moving in me. He's moving in you as you yeild your vessel, your heart, your will to him. And there is something, there is a deep, deep work the Holy Spirit is doing in our land, in the state of Mississippi, and it's with fire and wind. I'm telling you, Mississippi, you're on fire. For God, you're on fire. Hallelujah, and what does fire do? It gets rid of all the bushes and all the junk. It purifies and it leads the way for the nation, because with fire comes light. Sound


Sonja

There is a sound coming from Mississippi. There's a sound coming from Mississippi. Oh, it's a good sound. The Lord says intercessors those things you've prayed for, those things you've to wared over. Watch and see the fire move in your state, in our state, hallelujah.


Ruth Ann

So let the fire come and let it burn. Let it come and let it burn. Let it start burning in us. But let it start the land we set the land. Father God on fire to burn with you. Father God, we speak right here to this portal, Father God in Philadelphia, Mississippi. And we say, burn. Burn the corruption out. Burn. Burn, burn, burn the corruption out. Go through this land and burn and burn from the north to the south, the east and the west. The fire of God is a fire that you see in the spirit. It's a fire that you know you're walking into and you can feel it. Let it burn. Let it burn the corruption out. Oh. Let the corruption in this land become like ashes in the hand of Yeshua. Let it burn. Let it burn. Let it burn deep into the ground. Let it go down and get the root of corruption and pull it out. Let it burn that taproot cannot stay in the land, but it comes up and it comes out, and it's pulled out. And this fire, this fire goes even into the waters, even into the waters of Mississippi, and burns a corruption out


Sonja

let me tell you the fire. Let me tell you something about fire. When it comes to healing, there's a fire that burns by the Spirit, that drives out every infirmity, every sickness, every infection, every perversion, and it's the fire of Holy Spirit. And when that fire burns, it causes healing, it causes healing.


Sonja

When people go to a prayer line and hands are laid on them and they and they describe it as fire, there's fire, there's fire. What is that fire doing? It's driving out that infirmity. It's burning up the demonic. And that's what God is doing in our land to bring healing and restoration and redemption. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Glory to God. I say Glory to God. Hallelujah, YAHWAH


Sonja

Father, I just heard this Lord, I ask that the fire go deep within the earth, burning the tunnels up. Burn everything out of the tunnels in Jesus, name.


Ruth Ann

So Father got everything dug in the earth that was not sanctioned by you, Father, let it feel you now, Father, God, let it feel you come through. Let it feel the presence of YAHWAH , flow with the presence of YAHWAH , everything, Father God, this is yours. This is yours. This is YAHWAH . This belongs to the feet of Yahshua to walk on. This is his land. This is his land. This is on the earth, above the earth, and below the earth is his, and everything that is not put there by him. Let it burn. Let it burn. Let it burn. Let it feel the fire. Let it feel the deep, deep fire of YAHWAH . Let it know. Let the people who run it know that YAHWAH walked in. YAHWAH himself. YAHWAH cleaning it out.


Judah Team Sheila

Fire burn, burn deeper. Burn higher. Fire burn, healing. Fire burn deeper. Let's go.


Jay Crewdson

So while we're worshiping here, I was seeing. Uh, it's like I saw this oppression over the oppression across the land. And there it was, like people were beginning to stand up and smile again, and as a few would stand to smile, who I call the Forever loser. He didn't like it, and he's yelling, quit smiling, quit smiling. And the more he yelled it, the more others began to stand up and smile. And so he yelled even louder, quit smiling, quit smiling. And more and more stood to smile. And as they stood to smile in great multitudes, He began to dissipate and disappear and turn to dust. And as as he began to turn to dust and fall into that that place he's screaming, quit smiling, quit smiling. But the smiles just increased more and more and more. Amen


Ruth Ann

Amen. Someone verify what Jay is saying. Driving over here, Chuck gave a very similar prophecy, but we're going into the Feast of Tabernacles Wednesday, and he said, the more God's people celebrates him, they find joy in him, the closer God is going to Get into the earth to do away with this Corruption.


Judah Team Sheila

the joy of The Lord is our strength .The ene.my is defeated. Already, already the enemy is defeated. the joy of the Lord is our strength. Joy of the Lord is our strength.


Sheila

So I'm struck by how much what Sonja was saying about the fire, and what different ones are saying about the fire, as we let Holy Spirit fire burn in us and get rid of what needs to go it burns up all the stuff, all the stuff that weighs us down, that brings the heaviness and the joy comes and the smile comes. Then from that release,


Judah Team Sheila

Holy Spirit, fire, you're burning us burn away. What's gotta go we step in, step in, let the weights burn away. Joy of the Lord is my strength. The joy of the Lord is my strength. Joy of the Lord is my strength. The joy of the Lord is my strength. Gotta go.


Rakha

So talking about the fire burning inside and to do away with all the junk. Yes, the fire does burn inside us, but you also have to remember the enemy creates a mockery out of everything that the Lord does. So in addition to the fire burning inside of us, the Lord doing away with all the junk in us. There's going to come a fire around us in an attempt to intimidate, the next couple of weeks is going to be very vital, because we're going to be attacked by fire coming in from the outside the fire that's not. Burning inside. But there's fire that's going to be burning out, out at us. It's an attack. It's an attack by non believers. So whatever their fire, whatever fire they're emitting, you're going to have to, you're going to have to fight against that as 


Sonja

You good, well, I agree with what she's saying, what the Lord's saying, because, you know, I take that as a personal, I mean, for all of us, what she just said, that when the fire comes, don't lose your faith and don't lose your focus, because and I'm speaking from experience with my everyday life, with where I go to every day and work. So we have to understand what month we're in, and there's a high level of witchcraft going on. So with that, you've gotta it's it's not, you're not, you're not striving. You're gonna thrive. You're gonna put on the armor of God, you're gonna praise the Lord, and not what's going on around you. And what will happen is that when the fire tries to come and attack you, because Holy Spirit shows us things to come, that word she just gave, that's Holy Spirit showing us and speaking to us on what's to come to pray against it. It's not saying it won't come, but pray against it. And what will happen is when the enemy tries to put that false fire on you and cause confusion and witchcraft in your life and attack you, it will bounce off of you because you're covered in the blood of Jesus, and you have your armor on, and you're focused. And I'm speaking that from experience, from years ago, of something that happened to me, and stepping into that place that Sheila's talking about with the Lord, and what Rahka is talking about with the fire. And you, you know. 


Sonja

And so, Father, I'm just going to pray this. I pray for discernment, for an increase in discernment on the true fire of God and false fire. Father, I pray for discernment. When the enemy tries to come up in like a flood, you raise up a standard against it. Because, Father, you are with us, you're around us, and we have the victory. And Father, I thank you that no weapon that is formed against any of us or trying to be formed against any of us will prosper in Jesus. Name it will not, Father, because greater is He that's within each and every one of us than he that's in the world. And Father right now, in the name of Jesus, I just plead the blood of Jesus over all of us, over this ministry. No attacks on the ministry in Jesus name, no financial attack, no division or discord among the brethren, among the elders, among leadership and among the flock. In the name of Jesus, no, no, no, no. And so Father, I thank you for this warning, and this showing us what's to come, so we can pray. And so Father, I just I just pray that everybody's emotions would be intact, that they would be lined up with our spirit, and then we will not react in a negative way to the fire of the enemy. But Father, we will. We will react to the fire of Holy Ghost, to the fire of Holy Spirit. In the name of Yeshua HaMashiach, Father, I pray for divine protection over this ministry. Divine protection over this ministry and over the land. Over red water, over cowboy church, over Ruth Ann, over everyone of us, and Lord, I just thank you for your protection. Thank you for the Army angels that protect and war on our behalf, and we partner with you. Holy Spirit.


Ruth Ann

Psalms 18 :7, it says, the earth itself shivered and shook. It reeled in rock before him as the mountains tremble they melted away for his anger was kindled on my behalf. [That's huge. It was on my behalf. He shook the earth so your behalf. He shook the earth]. Fierce flames leap from his mouth, erupting with blazing burning coals with smoke.[ And I saw God handing out burning coals when Rakhs was talking, it's like it's a weapon to throw into that fire, throw the weapon and get the source of the fire, the burning coals]. And it says, fierce flames bleep from his mouth, erupting with blazing burning coals and smoke and fire encircled him. He stretched Heaven's curtains open and came to my defense, swiftly, he rode to the earth as the stormy sky was lowered. He rode a chariot of thunder clouds amidst the thick darkness. His steed was a cherub soaring on the outstretched wings of the Spirit wind wrapped in thick cloud, darkness. He thundered tabernacle surrounding him, and he hid himself in the mystery darkness. The dense rains were his garment. Suddenly, the brilliance of his presence broke through with lightning, bolts and hail and a dripping coat of fire. [Whatever God is fire, he's fire, and he burns, and he burns on our behalf, and he will shake the earth for us.]


Judah Team Sonja

Hey, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,


Sheila

And even before Ruth Ann read that, I was thinking about, how do you stop fire? You know, they use fire breaks to stop fire. So as our fire is hotter, the enemy's fire cannot reach us.


Judah Team Sheila

Let us burn for you.


Sonja

Oh, you know, I saw a picture where she said shake, and I started singing, shake, shake, shake. The Bible says that we are the salt in the earth. Amen, and I saw salt shaker, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,


Sonja

grease fire what do you do put it out, that brings destruction in your home, trying to catch my house on fire. You pour salt on I mean, you ever done that we are the salt of the earth to put the fire of the enemy out in Jesus name,


Sonja

shake, shake,shake, shake, shake, shake, shake,shake. Shake, shake, shake, shake.


Judah Team Sheila

Keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling. Joy of the Lord is my strength. Keep burning, keep burning, keep burning. The joy of the Lord is our strength. .


Ashton

The same fire that boils water to harden the egg is  same fire that boils water to soften a potato, and also, when you put salt in boiling water, it rises its temperature to a higher boiling point. So in our lives, in our ministry, in our jobs, everyday lives. I just ask God that, you know, we rise the temperature to boil things in our life that may be hardened to soften, to take off of us and things that need to be molded to be hardened in our lives, harden in our lives,


Sonja

shake, shake, shake, shake, come on, Shake, shake, shake, shake, come on, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. There's something about this generation that God's raising up. There's something about this young generation that God's raising up among the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. They're not going to lay down and be taken advantage of, but they're going to rise up. They're rising up and taking their position. Hallelujah. Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.


Sonja

Father, I thank you right now in the name of Jesus for the shaking that's going on at the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and the young people. I thank You, Father God, for the fire of the Holy Spirit that engulf them, that indwells them, that they are they are blaze trailers leading the way for this next generation, and this next I hear' phase of the tribe'. So Father, I thank you for the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Thank you, Father, that they are glory carriers. They are Blaze trailers leading the way that's on fire for you in the name of Yeshua hallelujah


Ruth Ann

We surrender to you today for your vision, for plan A, and I don't care if I'm at plan Z, Father, and we're going into negative A, B, C and D, you can still take me back to your original plan, because I write your vision and I'm going to behold it for what you're going to do. Not only, Father God, do we want your revelation for us Father God, we want your revelation for our town, for our tribe, for our state and for our nation, that we can behold what your vision is, even though it looks like it's filled with Chaldeans right now, even though we see the work of the Chaldeans Father God, we want your behold that you're going to do this and what you're going to do, because we want to look at that. And so Father, we receive your vision. We receive what you want to do. We receive your blessing. Just write it on our hearts today, but as he writes it on your heart, we stand here and we just stand. We just stand. Do you give it to us and we want to write it down and make it plain that even the generations that come after us can read it. See, God's a generational God. Babylon has taken away the generations and the generational wealth. God's a generational God. He's not a God of Babylon. He's not a god of the Chaldeans. He said they're too proud. And so Father God, we move away from the pride of the Chaldeans Babylon. We come away from their pride and how they teach people to be too prideful in what they do. And we take our focus to you, our focus to you, where we humble ourselves to you, Yeshua Jesus, and we humble to your vision, what your vision is, and we thank you for your vision.


Ruth Ann

Can feel the Lord He's here we settle down on you. You hear the sound, the original sound that God put in the land. Just receive what he wants to do with you. Just receive the vision. Just receive what he's saying to you. Listen intently. You as you go through the day to day, write it down. Write it down that you can behold His outcome. That is there where it doesn't look like he's going to come, but it does. You so Father. We, thank you for your fire burning and us. We, thank you for your waves of glory. Somebody wants to heal in the fire today, you haven't seen a vision of you being healed, but God says, I see it. You've got to see it, write it down. There's somebody watching this in the same way you keep on looking at your sickness. And God said, Look at what I want you to behold. I want you to write it down. I want you to behold what I see, not what you see.

Feel the heat of the Holy Spirit. Jesus. Get in the dance, get in the dance, get in the dance of the glory, get in the dance, get in the dance, get in the dance of his glory, oh. Sheila: Don't stop at the beat, it's in the beat. Yay! Rakha: So when the service started, I heard Sonja prophesying, and what I heard was when saying prayer or giving the Lord praise instead of just speaking it out. The Lord wants us to get into His rhythm. The Lord wants us to start singing the praises, singing the prayers, and if you're sitting there thinking, well, I don't know how to do that, I don't have any kind of rhythm or any kind of way of knowing how to do that. Listen to your heartbeat. Your heartbeat is the same heartbeat that Jesus had, is the same heartbeat that the Lord has given to us, so we all have that heartbeat of the Lord. So listen to your heartbeat, and however your heart is beating is the rhythm of what, how you're supposed to sing, how you're supposed to pray, how you're supposed to praise him. Rakha: Another thing that I heard was Armenia. There is a planned attack on Armenia, and I don't know if it's a state, I don't know if Armenia is a country, I don't know if it's whatever it is, but intercessors need to pray for the people of Armenia JT Sheila: Here we go, here we go, here we go, moving in, here we go, moving in, here we go, here we go, moving in, pressing in, pressing deeper, going deep. We're going higher, we've never been. How deep do you want to go in him? How deep do we want to go in Him? Is there anything deeper than pressing for the heartbeat of God? Going deeper, going deeper. Ruth Ann: So, Father, we just come with you, we just go with you, wherever you need to give you, take us there, take us deeper, take us much, much, much deeper in your glory. Let's come to you, Lord, that's what he wants us to do. He wants us in his rhythm, his rhythm. Let yourself come to his rhythm. Ruth Ann: So, Armenia, let me answer that. The Armenian people are talked about in the Bible, but it was the first nation to officially adopt Christianity as its state or its national religion in 301 AD, but actually as a trade route between Iran and Russia. It's a trade route, a land trade route, not a water trade route. Is a land trade route between Iran and Russia goes to Romania. That's significant. Sonja: So, Father, right now, in the name of Yeshua Hamashia, in the name of Jesus, Father, I lift up the Christians and the innocent in Armenia, don't say it correctly. Armenia. In the name of Jesus, Father, I just thank you for your divine protection over them. I thank you for the shield of faith that surround them, and I thank you, Father, for the fire of Holy Spirit that surrounds them, and the blood of Jesus that covers them, in the name of Jesus. JT Sheila: We release your heartbeat, release your heartbeat, release your heartbeat. Rakha: The Lord's really highlighting heartbeats today, and so what I saw was I saw a gentleman sitting down, and I saw the doctor taking his stethoscope and listening to his heart. So if you're 6 ft 4 in and you are part of this ministry, or if you're listening or watching this program, you need to go have your heart checked. Six four is the number. If you are six foot tall, six foot four inches tall, go have your heart check. Sheila : I can almost hear the love dub in the, in the drum beat. Ruth Ann: Every time we get to that that beat right there, where Rakha is right there and where you just went, I've been seeing angels in a rhythm, in a rhythm of that beat. I keep going to this word from Chuck Pierce over Mississippi, it is from August the 26th 2010 It was at the Mississippi Burning Conference, in 2010. This is a very profound word and it caused much over the state of Mississippi. Ruth Ann: He says: It's about a two page prophecy, but I'm going to a part of it. It says first state Chuck drew after the vision he had in May 2028 was Mississippi, because it was so unique. Now, if you don't know what I'm talking :about, God took Chuck to all 50 states in a vision, and he showed Chuck all 50 states in a vision, and Mississippi was the first one he drew out after the vision of the 50 states, and he says the spirit of God is taking us to the next level. We're divine connectors between heaven and earth for our land. A gold fiery river ran through each state. The gold fiery river is the tribute reserve. Every state has one, and they have to be activated by May 2011. Okay, that was 2011. He saw fiery hubs that looked like castles, and every state had a fiery hub, and throughout Mississippi. Y'all will be surprised where the fiery hub is. A state that was in covenant also had to be a state that had staked the land, complete prayed completely around their land, and yet apostles and prophets that are aligned watching for the spirit of God to come. Mississippi looked like a hub of glory, but it also looked like a spider's web. It had a tremendous connection to what God wanted to do. It had a place where visitation could come. It was almost like Ezekiel saw when he saw the wheel turning, Mississippi was centered to determine how things turned in the future. It also had eight smaller networks working out of the center place. It was coming as if out of Jackson. There was going to be a moving God that produced a river that would start the wheel turning in the state, except it also looked like a spider's web. The spider's web is the strongest substance, is stronger than steel. It looks strange. It doesn't look just like a wheel that can turn, it looks like a web, a network that should also capture the future of creation. Ruth Ann: So, what I keep seeing is we're doing this beat, and we're in a heartbeat rhythm. It is a heartbeat rhythm. What I see, and I didn't understand this until I looked it up, and what I'm seeing is Ezekiel 1:22 spread out above the heads of the living creatures was something that looked like a vault sparkling like crystal and awesome, so in Ezekiel's vision of God's throne he sees the four living creatures with the magnificent expanse or vault above them, and it looks like crystal, and he keeps calling this vault a firmament, but what I see as the beat is going on, this crystal in this firmament is raining down and it is hitting this spider web, and I looked up how large pieces of crystal, how much they can weigh, and they can weigh anywhere from 20 pounds to 1000s of pounds, and I see it hitting the spider webs over Mississippi, and it's weighing it down and breaking it, and it's weighing it down and breaking it. So Mississippi is no longer captured in a web, it's weighing it down and breaking it. So, Father, we come into your rhythm, into your beat, that everywhere we have been captured in a web, we can come out of that web, that web that is holding us and holding our state, and even it says Mississippi can hold a nation with this web is breaking as we come into a beat with you, into a rhythm with you, Father God. We come above and we break out of the strands of web that is holding us, and we come above it, and we come to a glory, Father God. So, Father God, let your fiery hug come up, let your fire come here, Father God. As Philadelphia breaks out of this web, as Neshoba County comes out of this web, Father God, because this place, there was eight places known for the hubs of Mississippi, and this is one of them. Ruth Ann: So, Father God, today we say this place, our place, this place, Global Vision, you are no longer overtaken with the web of the spider, but you come above it into God's glory. We say, Glory, come, come, let the crystal expanse fall here to the point, Father God, that it breaks the web and it brings your glory. It brings your glory here, Father God. So let the fire, let your fire fall, and let your glory come, and let your fire fall, and let your glory come. Rakha: So the whole purpose of the spider web is to capture, capture whatever the spider is going to eat, but also in with the Native Americans, not only do they have, you know, we have spiders are everywhere, of course, but for Native Americans they have a dream catcher. If you look at the inside of that dream catcher, it does resemble a spider web, but what we have learned is the meaning, or the intent for the dream weaver is to capture dreams, capture bad dreams. However, what I'm seeing, or what the vision that I've seen, is that Dreamcatcher is a web for all dreams, and our dreams sometimes are messages from the Lord, and we definitely don't want those captured by any means. Our message from the Lord has to be released. So, Heavenly Father, this dream catcher, this web that has been laid upon the Native American community, my brothers and sisters from the north, south, and east, and west. Heavenly Father, we just break that off. We come out from under that dream, that dream catcher. We no longer allow that dream catcher to capture our dreams, the dreams that you have downloaded into us. Heavenly Father, we are missing. We have missed a lot of what we should, could, and be become because of this dream catcher that has been waited over us. Heavenly Father, I just see it over, over the people, and we just break it off. We break it off. We say, dream catcher, you are no longer going to catch our dreams. The crystals are going to I see them coming down, I see the dream catcher laying flat, but I see those crystals coming down, and the sharp pointiness is breaking those threads. So, Heavenly Father, we just thank you for this in Jesus' name. Ruth Ann: Father God, with the people of this land, miss your warnings, because the dream didn't come through, Father God, send the dreams back, send the dreams back to get everyone here, get the government, get the people on the right track. Father, get the finances on the right track, get the people back in the right track. Release your dreams back, Father. JT Sheila: We release your heartbeat, we release the frequency, the disruptor of the web of the enemy. We release your heartbeat, we release your frequency, Lord. It's a disruptor of the web of the enemy. We release your heartbeat, we release your frequency. We release your heartbeat, we release your frequency, Lord, you're the disruptor of the web of the enemy. The strands are breaking, they're dissolving. We release your frequency. No more capture, no more capturing by the enemy. Once we release your sound, we call on your wind to carry it everywhere it needs to be. As we release your sound and your frequency, we call your wind to carry it everywhere it needs to be. The disrupter of the web of the enemy, you are the disrupter of the web of the enemy. Oh, I see the lines of the web, they're popping, they're popping, they're breaking, floating in the air. No more strength, Lord as the web is being taken down, we call for your glory. Just line up in its place, Lord, that space is being emptied. Now we're calling all your presence, your glory, your heartbeat in that place. Sonja : In the name of Jesus, anywhere a politician, a government official has been caught in the web of the internet through false accusations, lies, manipulation, control, allegations. In the name of Jesus, I command them to be released where they've been captured on the web. I command them to be released now in Jesus' name, and I decree and declare the only thing that can be caught in the web, is the enemy in Jesus' name Sonja: And, Father, right now, in the name of Jesus, where the Black Widow has been released on the web to pour out poison and lies, accusations, entrapments. May that poison return back to the Black Widow and destroy this evil, evil spider. Where those have been called in the web of death and destruction, death of reputation, death of finances in the web. I command them to be released now in Jesus' name. In the name of Jesus, where this web has been over the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indian Nation, and had captured truth, prosperity, health, progress in the name of Jesus. I command it to be released now into the hands of God, and I decree and declare that they will fulfill their destiny and their purpose in Jesus' name. In the name of Jesus, where minds have been caught on the web of the internet programming, I command that to be released now, in Jesus' name. It comes up, out, and off of minds in Jesus name. Where not reality, but the reality of the enemy has been caught on the web, programmed into the minds of children, young adults, older adults, mankind, I command them to be released now in Jesus' name. And, Father, right now, in the name of Jesus, I know that technology has increased, and AI is doing its thing, but Father, you said I AM . It's not AI. We don't get information from AI, we get information truth from I AM, and that is you , Lord, in Jesus' name. Judah Team sang Native Warrior Sonja: Father, I thank you right now for the blood of Jesus. Father, I thank you for the heartbeat of our Father. Father, just as the body has many vessels and many arteries and very all different pathways, Father, within the human body, the heart pumps the blood, and it pumps it out. I thank you, Father, that your heartbeat is pumping today through the ecclesia, and through each and every one of us, clear in the pathways with pure oxygen, your pure breath flowing through our veins and our arteries. Father, we worship you. We honor you, Lord. Father, we just thank you for your glory. We thank you for your presence. We thank you for the transitions, there's been so many shifts today in various levels, and so, Father, we thank you for those shifts. We thank you for revelation, for discernment. We thank you for your fire, and we thank you, Father God, for the teaching that's going to come, and we give you all the honor and all the glory in Jesus' name. Amen.  Ruth Ann: So when you started prophesying Sonja, first thing, he told me he says the glory is going to rain day down like a crystal river. I didn't understand that. How can glory come like a crystal river? Because I'm thinking crystal, you know, can be heavy. I couldn't place it in a river, but it's interesting how he was already. Now, sometimes we misinterpret the glory. Okay, because glory is when God moves. It's not necessarily that you get this ooey gooey feeling all the time. Is when he moves, it's when he gives words, it's when he takes you to a new level, a new thought pattern, a new place. Glory is anything He promised you. So, if He promised you to overcome something, that's glory. If He promised you to have victory somewhere, that's glory. Okay, if you're a business person and you do something new and you make money at it, or wealth or new wealth comes in, that's glory. Does anybody get what I'm saying? See, we try to make glory just a feeling, and it's not just a feeling, it's everything he does that's pretty cool, right? And when he starts saying, I'm going to rain down, then I start saying, okay, God, where are you coming, and how are you coming? It could be just a revelation that's released in a word to you that you never dreamed about, that's glory, that puts you in a path that you never thought you would be on, that's glory. Is everybody get what I'm saying? So receive his glory, because he wanted to release it today, but he wants to release it in a heavy way, a heavy way. Okay, and so accept what he's releasing. Ruth Ann: Now we're talking about decisions, and there was like but let me talk about what we're going to talk about. There was some decisions made yesterday, and I'm gonna show you the points the decisions were made at. Okay, so the Belmont ran yesterday, it was 158 Belmont. There was only nine entries in this race, so we've gone from 22 horses in the Kentucky Derby now to finish out the Triple Crown. We're at nine horses remaining. So Golden Tempo, who ran the Kentucky Derby, came from the ninth position. Okay, basically, and he went off at odds of nine to two. They did not think he could win the race. People were actually saying they didn't believe he could win the race, Golden Tempo. So, he was being bet against to win the race, not to win the race, that's right. His trainer was Sherry Devo. She was the first woman to win the Kentucky Derby. Now she's the first woman to win the Belmont. Okay, the jockey is Gilbert Ortiz, who is a professing Christian, along with his brother, who he ran against again yesterday, are both professing Christians. Gilbert Ortiz won the Belmont in 2017 on Tapwire. Now, there's a lot you can prophesy that I have not prophesied. Tapwire can prophesy. He's already won multiple Eclipse awards for his riding, and he's one of the most successful jockeys in North America. Okay, now this is very interesting, and I did not bring this up during the Derby, but I'm gonna bring this up in the here. Ruth Ann: Golden Tempo is owned by Phipps, P H I P P S Stable, and Saint Elias Stables, but here's the thing about it. The Phipps family is historic in horse racing. It's not their first time, they just didn't suddenly, their family lineage has been racing for over 100 years in North America. So this is really saying something, and they have Golden Tempo, is not their first champion, Personal Enzyme, Easy Goer, Inside Information are all multiple champions this family has produced. So God is going back to legacy, that's real important here. God is talking about legacy. Okay, he's going back to families, and he's going back to inheritances, and he's going to pull that forward, and he's going back to redeem them. So basically, this race is saying the Kentucky Derby said it, and now Belmont said it. God is, and it's that's what He did. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, He created the family, and Adam and Eve, and He meant them to be successful throughout the earth. He did not mean them to fall to Satan. So he's going back for redemption now. Ruth Ann: There's some very important names of horses in this race: Power Shift, Renegade, Growth Equity, Commandment, Emerging Market, and of course, Golden Tempo, and for you people that don't know it, President Trump is now has gold lights on the White House, and they're shining there now to say we've entered the Golden Age of America. What's a golden age? Now we don't want to go to an empire, and we're fighting the empire spirit. You don't want an empire. An empire is when someone is in control. You want a Golden Age, that's when everybody prospers. That's prosperity released to the people without control of a ruling dominating leader. Okay, I get what I'm saying. There's a difference in a Golden Age to an empire, but these, these are very, very significant names, and I want you to keep up with them. Okay, I have not been able to find anything on Chief Wallaby, but I think he's significant. Ruth Ann: Okay, the distance is one and a fourth miles, because each one of these gets longer. The time they raced in was two minutes and three seconds. It was at Saratoga, but now this is very interesting. Hold on to Saratoga. Let me come back to that. So, basically, the trainer grew up in Saratoga, and this is where she got her start. So, she came back. Very important, God's going to take you back to where you need to be. She came back to where she got her start. Okay, very important. So, if God tells you to go back, go back, that's very important. Wherever He tells you to go back to it's time, because she was sent back to where she started. Ruth Ann: Okay, here's some things you've got to understand that happened in this race. Okay, what happened to Golden Tempo? He stumbled at the start. He was bumped. His rider had to pull him up, had to take him in out of position and move him into a new position and steady him, and he had to force wide. The rider literally, I'm gonna show you every decision in this. Okay, now every time something like this happens, when the horse stumbles, there is a decision. Do you slow him down to see if something's wrong, or do you pull it? You do you keep him pushing him to go. Every time a bump happens in a race, it could be called as a foul. Okay, do you keep bumping, or what? Do you do there is a decision. When he checked his horse, that means he actually pulled the horse back in one part of the race. He slowed him down. Okay, that's a decision. Do you think you're still gonna win it if you slow your horse down? He steadied the horse. In other words, he didn't let him go faster. He just kept him at a steady pace. And then he forced his opponent wide. This is real important. He forced his opponent wide when the horse that was boxing him in, he forced the horse not to box him in, without hitting the horse. He kept forcing the one that was boxing him in. See, this is a decision, and this is what I'm talking about today. So, basically, that's five decisions he made in two minutes. Five decisions to win this race was made in two minutes, and it changed any one of those decisions. Could have cost him. Don't get what I'm saying. Any one of those decisions could have changed the race. Five decisions. In two minutes, Grace five is grace. God's giving us grace. Ruth Ann: Golden, we talked about this represents glory, refinement, purity, and God's purpose. Tempo represents rhythm, and what was all we talking about this morning? God's glory and rhythm, the rhythm, and that's what God is saying, His glory, and get into his rhythm. Okay, very important. We've got to get into his rhythm of doing things. We cannot let somebody else that doesn't understand what's going on make the decision for you. You got to get out there and check the Bible, first Bible, you go there. Next place, go to the prophets, go to the prophets that are proven. Don't go to any prophet, go to proven prophets. Don't know what's going on around you. Listen to the Bible first, then prophets that are proven. And get into the rhythm of God. You got to find out what God is doing. Number nine is associated with fruitfulness and finality. Finality, the end of something, the end of something that is bad. The end of something is the completion of a cycle. You know, when America goes into the golden age, we're talking about financing the glory of God, that's different. Finality of the enemy, the fruit of the spirit, and Jesus died at the ninth hour, so none often points to the mature work of God that comes to completion, that's huge, the material work of God coming to completion. Prophetically America may be entering a season where years of testing is going to produce fruit. Did you hear what I just said. America can, if we make the right decisions, enter into a season where years of testing will produce fruit. Ruth Ann: So, basically, what do these stories resemble? What about Joseph? Joseph had every decision before him. Does he react to Potiphar's wife this way or that way? What's his decision? How does he react in prison, hateful or does he work with them? Every decision got him to the king's palace. Every decision he could have made, any decision along the way that kept him away from the king's palace. What about David? We just talked about David. What was his decision? You're speaking against my covenant; therefore, I can defeat you. David could have backed up and trembled with Israel and came into their offense. Decision. Then you have Israel themselves. What did they do? Their decision in the wilderness cost them to stay in the wilderness and lose a generation. One decision, that's what they made. Okay, so see, I've got to remember in my covenant, no weapon formed against me will prosper. Sometimes I go to my chair, and I say, God, and what we doing about this one? Just a question, I asked my question, what do we do? I'm in covenant, what am I supposed to do? Ruth Ann: Okay, so the ownership connections is a long-established race racing family. What does that mean? That means they have stewarded for it to go over 100 years. Every generation has stewarded what the generations were building. One generation didn't take it and say I'm just going to tear it down and live high and mighty. Every generation for it to last over 100 years took up the purpose and stewarded an increase, because you would have to increase it. Do you see what I'm saying? So this operation is not something that's fly by night, it's one that each generation was taught stewardship. Let me say, you have to teach stewardship to one generation to the other. They were not past offense. I can't pass my offenses to teach somebody stewardship. Because I can catch, I can capture somebody, and what I'm offended over.. So that means generational faithfulness, inheritance preserved and promises passed down. This is what God is saying in this race. Ruth Ann : So the next generation is beginning to reap what previous generations sown, but we have to keep stewarding what they sowed and keep reaping it. That's so important, and I'm not going to pass my offense down. I'm not teaching my offense. I'm teaching you how to steward. There's a difference. I'm teaching you how to increase money. I'm in teaching you how to increase wealth. So, if you go to Secretariat, and I won't say this, but if you go to Secretariat and you watch the movie closely, by the way, Otto Thorpe is going to be with us at the fair this year. The jockey in the movie, I get his name, he answers what I call him. Okay, so basically, if you go to that movie and you watch that movie, number one, Secretariat's owner was inheriting the generational farm that had been there, she had to steward it. She inherited the agreement that her father had made concerning the colts, which one he would get and which one his partner would get. She's stewarding all of that, and she takes up and she studies all the paperwork her father had done. It's in the movie, whether they explain it to you or not. She studies in detail everything that had been done, and she realizes from the paperwork which one's the best horse. She realizes from everything written in the papers which one is going to be the best horse, and she knows that the other man is going to want the other horse, and she wants to lose that corn toss, because she knows from everything she studied, she studied the generational way of operating, she studied everything on the books. She knew everything that's stewarding, and she knew what she had. If she got Secretariat, and everybody thought they had pulled the wool over her eyes, but she knew better, because she had studied in depth. She knew what she had, and then she went to develop it. See, you don't just develop a horse in an hour, it takes three years to get him to a racetrack. She had to steward that horse for three years to get him there. She's waiting three years to make her money back. Y'all get it. She knew what she had. If we would just look and saw where our generations failed. If we would just be honest, where did they pass me some offense that I'm still carrying that I can't go forward for? She studied everything her dad did wrong, and everything he did right. She knew it. Go to the part of the movie and get to the part of the movie where she's digging through the library and just watch that part of the movie. If I had not been in horses and understood the study, it takes to develop a horse. People think you just go out and do it. No, I understand the hours of study it is to develop a champion. I've seen it done, and I've been a part of it, and I still have stacks of papers I don't get rid of that. It's literally that high from the floor up in those volumes of papers of what it takes to make a champion horse, and I saw a man by the name of Mr. Jay Pumphrey, who was president of the American Quarter. He also developed horses for the Russian army and Was that good? Develop champion Kentucky Derby winner after Kentucky Derby winner but got his all on paper before the horse ever existed. That's amazing, is it not? Ruth Ann: The purse they ran for 2 million was for 2 million, so two represents the witness and the testimony. So we're going to have the witness and the testimony and the agreement at the mouth of two witnesses. It shall be established, and we're in the time of speaking 2 the mouth of two witnesses. There's a whole lot more. This was the last Belmont at Saratoga. This means transition, that means America is also transitioning, and it will go back. The Belmont will return to Belmont, New York. Okay, so this was the last time it ran at Saratoga while they are rebuilding Belmont. Okay, so it's a transition. So we are in, and our nation is in a transition. We can either transition into the Golden Age or we can transition into an empire, and we're at that point, and we've got to make the right decision to go into the golden age, and some people are wanting to capture us in an empire, and we don't want to live in an empire, we want to live in a golden age. Ruth Ann: Now, it's very important. Every horse that was running first at one point in time, Power Shift, Emerging Market, Golden Equity. You need all of that. You need every bit of that to create a correct mark, you need that to create the financial base. Every horse that was leading at one point was speaking of a financial base, Power Shift, Golden Equity, and Emerging Markets. Y'all understand that that's pretty important on what God is saying there, because God is doing this financial thing to shift our nation, y'all understand what I'm saying, and you're going to see shifts in the nation that you don't expect, you're going to see the tax structure shift, you're going to see lots of shifts coming in the next, especially in 27 okay, and the prophets have been telling us 2027 2027 that's when we see that shift. Okay, so this race is prophesying it. The other thing, the horse that ran second is Commandment. We're going to have to follow God's commandments to live in the golden age. God's commandments will be the root of it. So you have Golden Tempo, which is gold, purity, glory, and you have the rhythm of God, and you have commandments. We're going to have to come back and live in God's commandments to live where God wants us. That's huge, is what it's saying. Ruth Ann: It's very interesting what Golden Tempo ran under. Remember, I told you there were five decisions in two minutes, right? Okay, the first decision was he stumbled out of the gates when the jockey made the decision to keep going. Okay, he could have, you know, backed up to see if his horse, whatever, he made the decision, the horse was fine, and he kept going, but if you will watch this, you can see every decision that was made, and watch the arrow, and he finally comes against his opponent, who opponent who is Commandment, and he keeps going this way, forcing his opponent to keep going. It almost is, yes, except it was Renegade, he ran beside in the Derby, but in Renegade, I will say that again, is the name of some political leader, but we're not, it's a code name with the CIA, but we're not going to talk about that one, but he outran him every time. So they're showing they backed you up to show the five decisions, and they said just one mistake, one thing, they didn't make the right decision, he would have never won. You see how important decisions. So I thought about it when I wrote decisions, I was writing it days before this race, and I thought, okay, God, you are good, because this whole thing is about decisions, and I want you to look at the sky. This is at the end of the race, and people are walking on the tracks, they'll have golden tempo to come out there. Will see him come across the track where they're taking him to the Winter Circle, and I want you to see what was in the sky. It's a rainbow in the sky. The whole Belmont was run under a rainbow, God's promise. Ruth Ann : So, Father God, we just thank you for decisions, and we thank you, Father God, that we do just what Peter did, we know that our covenant with you is greater than anything. Father God, as we make decisions, we ask you every time, and when you say come, we come, and when you say stop, we stop, but we rely on you for each and every decision, and we thank you, Father God, that we make the decision to live in your glory and not captured by the enemy. Father, we thank you that we understand the decision that's before the whole world right now. Where are we? And we make the decision for glory, Father, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

053126 Father God’s Way is Better Keywords Worship, repentance, idols, altar, fresh fire, heart, temple, inner healing, spiritual well-being, emotional well-being, physical well-being, stewardship, warrior, victory, perspective. Ruth Ann: So Father, we worship you today, and Father God, anything that we put in our heart that became an idol, whether it's our own problems, every problem we put ahead of you, and every problem we tried to figure out without asking you, but we tried to figure it out in our own knowledge and own strength, everything we placed above you, Father, we repent and we put you back in our heart. Ruth Ann: So, Father God, we just ask you, we just ask you to come burn today, Father God, as we cleanse our heart of all idols, and I don't see idols like we're I'm not seeing that I'm seeing like I got to get this done I got to get that done I got to do. So we just worship you, Father. We just worship you, Lord Jesus. We exalt you, Father. We worship you. Yes, Father God, you're everlasting. You are holy. You're mighty. JT Sheila: Bring your fresh fire, Lord. Let us be the altar, laying on the altar of the Lord. Ruth Ann: Ezekiel 14:3 says: these men have set up their idols in their hearts and put them that which causes them to stumble into iniquity. So in this verse the word idol does not mean something made of wood, stone, or metal, it means our thought patterns, it means our beliefs, we can't put wood, stone, and hay, and our metal in our heart, but we can put our beliefs in our heart. And then Ezekiel 14:4 goes on to say : everyone of the house of Israel has set up idols in their heart, here the idol is something that's taken God's affection in your life. So. Father, when we put idols in our heart, our busyness, if it's what we got to do, if it's our to-do list, if it's our problem. If we put it before you, Father, Father God, we lay our idols down today. We come before you, Father God, in everything that we put in the place of you in our heart, where you're not first, we lay it down, and we ask you to burn it. We ask you to burn it, that we can come back to your altar, your altar to seek you, Father God, your altar to worship you, and hear what you tell us about what's going on in your heart, not our heart, but your heart. Ruth Ann: Don't know why I hear it this way, but even what we okay, God, I'm gonna say it like you said it. You said even what we call a tragedy, and we put it in our heart, whether it broke our heart, how bad it broke our heart, Father God, whatever it was that we called a tragedy in our life that broke our heart, and we put it before you, Father God, we take it out of our heart, we put it down, we put it down, we let you burn it, we let you burn it. Ruth Ann: Today, Father, we want to hear your heart, your heartbeat, your rhythm. We want to come in rhythm with you, Father, and know who you are in a way we've never known you today. I have been looking for days, and if anybody finds it, I'm still looking for it, because God is bringing this to me. There is a Kim Clement prophecy where he says in September, September, how things will change, but he never said what year, but in that prophecy he says that God is coming closer, he's going to break another veil with man and come closer, so God, we're getting ready for you to come closer. We're putting our things out of our heart down, so we can come into a place with you that we've never been, that we've never been, where we can surrender in a place to you we never have, and we can step behind the veil with you, Father. Sheila: Okay, so you're saying that, and you can correct me. I'm kind of processing this at the moment, but this morning I was reading, and I don't even remember which of the Old Testament books, prophets, it was. It was where God brought the word of Lord to them, and they were bringing it to Jerusalem, and it was one of those that was about, like, four chapters, and in it, God is saying, you're living in your homes, but you're not repairing my temple, so that's why everything's being devoured, you're doing your own thing over here, and you're not taking care of my stuff, and if you will come and rebuild my temple, basically he's saying, see how you will be blessed, see how what you bring will be multiplied instead of devoured. And so that was going through my mind, and even before Ruth Ann just said that I was like, okay, so we don't have, so we are the temple now, right, there's no temple that we have this place, and I think ministries, it's important when we're doing the garden at God's commands, that stuff's important, but we are the temple now. So I was just kind of asking, Lord, so what's that mean? When what are we, the devouring comes when we. so from what Ruth Ann, here's what I'm taking from that, is when we're allowing this stuff in our heart, just like she said, we're allowed, we're not taking care of our temple, which is his temple, you know, it says take care of this, this is how people see him on earth, is through us, and so if we're not taking care of us, if we're not dealing with our heart issues, if we're not coming to him and saying burnout, then stuff is being devoured. He intends, he's a God of multiplying, he's a God who created our bodies to heal, so that created our bodies to heal, so that we don't have all the stuff that goes on, and so, if we're not taking care of, and I guess you could take that physically too, if we're not taking care of our temples physically, if we're not taking care of ourselves, cleansing, coming to him, and getting rid of the things that we've allowed in our heart, the traumas, and things that I've read so many things lately on Facebook, and people say, and it broke me, and I'm like, don't say that, don't say it broke you. Maybe God is doing a work, and it's a hard season, but it doesn't break you, it makes you, if you allow Him. Ruth Ann: Referring to Haggai 1:4, it's time for you and yourselves to dwell in your panel house as well. This house lies in ruins. But it goes on to say, after the resurrection of Jesus in First Corinthians 3:16 do you not know that you are God's temple, and that God's spirit dwells in you. And then, First Corinthians 6: 19, it says your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. So, when we're repairing the temple now, we're coming to repentance, we're letting inner healing happen, we're dealing with heart idols, and remember, heart idols are not metal, they're not stone, they're things we placed in our heart. We're caring for your spiritual and emotional and physical well-being. But then it said in First Kings 18:30 and Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord that had been broken down. So, Father God, where we broke your altar, your altar, where we come and we didn't worship you, but we came and we just walked, rolled in our problems, and we didn't worship you at the altar. Father God, where we just let our problems and our heart idols overtake us. Father, we come and repair the altar, Father God of worship with you. We come, Father God, we come. Each is the temple of you, and we repair the altar of our lives when we worship you, Father. When we worship you, Father. And that that we call greater than you, Father God, is no longer greater than you, we see you larger than anything. So, Father, come, Father, come, just come, come. And we're no longer as Elijah said, when are we going to stop going between two opinions, Father, we stop today, and our opinion is you're greater than anything. You're greater than anything. There's no more opinion than about you and your greatness, Father God. You're greater than anything. Ruth Ann: So now just put your heart back on your altar and let God just refill your heart, let Him refill you with Him, and everything that we call pain, just let it come out and just refill it with him. JT Sheila: Are you willing to lay your heart on the altar. Give it all to him. Are you willing to lay your life down? Give it all to him. He's waiting with healing and blessing, he's waiting with his fire and burn it all away, everything that's gotta go. Are you willing to lay it all on the altar? Father, remake us, remake us in you, everything that is compromised is now washed away, burned away. Purify, purify this temple, purify, purify this temple, bring your fire, bring your fire. Maybe we have a picture, an idea of what t he's gonna do even the promise that he's given us. Are you willing to lay that on the altar, so he can bring back everything, even multiply? He will bring back more than we could ever dream. First, lay it down on his altar, there are pieces, pieces of that idea that may be ours and not his. Will you listen, will you listen, will you listen to what he has to say without trying to convince him what he needs to know? We think he needs to know. Will you listen to what he has to say as you lay your life on the altar. Ruth Ann: Part of the process with the Lord at its altar might be removing walls we've built. Part of the process on his altar might be building walls we have let fall down. We have to hear him, listen. But the process, the journey, that's part of that's part of it all, that's your testimony. When we walk through the fire, when we walk through the test, there's a testimony. Ruth Ann: A moment ago, when I was speaking, I'm telling what I was seeing, reading the Bible. I saw a picture, and I saw this being step out with a sickle, and I'm like, "God, what are you showing me? What is that? And I always want to back up what I see with scriptures, not go in there, and so Joel 3:13 reads, Now let the sickle do its work. The harvest is ripe and waiting. Tread the wine presses, for it is full to overflowing with the wickedness of these men. Now I'm going to read that one more time, because I want us to get what it's saying. Now let the sickle do its work. The harvest is ripe and waiting, and tread the wine press, for it is full to overflowing with the wickedness of men. Let me talk a minute. Let me just kind of get you to what God was showing me, and I said, "Lord, what are you talking about? Wickedness? And he told me, "He said, 'I not only harvest the good in the earth, I harvest the wickedness out of the earth, and that's what he's doing in Joel. Now, the scriptures that we often quote about him being Lord of the harvest goes with Matthew 13:30 at harvest time both the wheats and the tares reach the maturity, and they're separated. Everybody good, so we're not going to get that mixed up, because God does harvest the wickedness out of the earth, and this is what he spoke to me. He said, I'm looking for the hearts now that are with me, and I'm seeing the hearts that have become hardened to me. And he says, you're going to see a separation. It is coming, it is coming, it is coming quickly, and I have released the sickle into the earth, because you're going to see the wicked, the wicked be exposed. So, Lord, as we prepare our heart for you, Father God, we prepare our heart. See, Father God, we prepare our heart for you to come, you to come into our heart. But, Father God, we know that there is a sickle in the earth, Father God, that is here, and He says, "I'm harvesting the wickedness for me to be able to come. I said, "Father God, we say yes to what you choose to do. Father God, we say yes for what you choose into the earth, and we do not back up, we do not hold ourselves back, but we go forward with what you're doing in the earth. JT Sheila: Heart of a warrior, we will fight for you, Lord. We will worship, sword in hand. Heart of a warrior, we will fight for you, Lord. We will worship sword in hand. We will not back down. We will not give in heart of a while. Always holds a line. We will not back down. We will not give in. Our God never fails. Oh no, our God never fails, never loses about all, and he never fails. Our God never fails. Oh no, our God never fails. He never loses a butt on. He never fails. He never fails. Never fails with the heart of a warrior fight for you, Lord. We will worship sword in hand. Heart of a warrior, we'll fight for you, Lord. We will worship with sword in hand. Lord, and come change our hearts, purify. We fight with your word, your truth, and your love. We fight with your word, with your truth, and with your love. Purify, purify, purify our hearts right now. Move to new levels. New levels in you. Purify our hearts right now. Our God never fails. Oh no, Lord, you never fail, you never fail, you never lose a battle, and you never will. We already have the victory, you already have the victory in you. We Lord, we fight with you, cause you never fail. We can never fail as we follow you, because you never fail. Lord, we can never fail as we follow you. Ruth Ann: Okay, I just heard it. Somebody, either sitting in this room, or watching, whatever you can is a failure. God says, "Put it out of your heart now. I said, "I consider it wickedness in the heart. He says, "Because I don't fail, you don't fail. He says, "Because I forgive, you're forgiven, you're released. He said, "So put the failure down, don't make it an idol, it's not there, it's forgiven. So release it, get it out of your heart, let him take it, and let him bind it on the altar. Remember, warrior, we're all warriors in Christ. He leads an army. JT Sheila: Never fail, never fail. Oh, he can never leave us or forsake us. He's always there, right beside us. Talk to him, worship him. He'll never leave us or forsake us. He'll never leave us or forsake us. Talk to him and worship him right there, right now, right there, right now. JT Sheila: S ing it along, make a joyful noise, Lord. We praise you. We make a joyful noise. We worship you. Joyful noise, Lord, we praise you. Lord, we worship you. JT Sheila: Our God never fails. God never fails. So we never fail. We fight with him, we walk with him, we worship him, because he never fails, never fails, and he never will. So, look back on those times when you felt it was a fail, and let him talk to you about what he did, about what you gained, about where you are. Let him change your perspective. Let him change your perspective. Give it to him and listen to him. Lord, change our perspective. We want your thoughts. Renew our mind. We want to think like you do. Let us help us think like you do. Judah Team : sings-Your Ways Better Ruth Ann: How many of you go look for something else? Because you just don't think God is doing what He's supposed to be doing sometimes. Yeah, we've all done it at some time or another. At least I could raise my hand, my feet, and everything else, right? Yeah, yeah, that's right. Okay, so I noticed I was thinking about it. Wednesday night we were looking up scripture about our heart and the idols in our heart, and we were reading those scriptures Wednesday night that's come up here this morning. So God is really after the heart thing. It's just interesting, is it not? Okay, because I'm like, Wednesday night we were doing God, we did this Wednesday night, you know, it's like he said, okay, let's dig a little bit deeper and keep going. Ruth Ann: So let's stand and let's just pray a second. Now we're going to do something with our heart right now, if God says there's anything in your heart that you're not stewarding, you're gonna give it to Him, okay? Whatever you're not, whatever you just letting happen to you, you can't let it happen anymore. You know, you go into work and you look like you, things look bad, and it looks like it might be your destruction. You gotta say, God, I'm going to let you destroy my enemies in it, and I will not be destroyed. It's a whole new way of looking at it, right? I will not, not keep on looking at it as my destruction. It will be what my enemies will be destroyed in. Wow, whole new concept, right, whole new concept. So, Father God, we just give to you today the thing that we think is our destruction. We just hand it over to you, Father. And, Father God, we sit in the midst of our enemies, but we know we cannot be destroyed, because we choose today to steward for you, Father. We choose today, Father, to be who you created us to be, and we thank you, Father, for who you are. So just give it to him, just quietly whisper it out, whatever you're giving to him, give it over to him, something you haven't been stewarding. Just commit to him to go home and start taking care of it. Start stewarding, start being the I'm finished letting this go, and just start stewarding it now. Thank you for this Father in the name of Jesus
