So God this morning, when I opened my eyes, God started talking to me and Sheila, go get offering envelopes. Now I'm not asking you to give an offering. I'll tell you that before you say I didn't prepare today. Y'all good with me. But here's what we're going to do. Darrel, can you show the first video?

 

Ruth Ann

Okay, in this video, I want you to pay attention of what's going on. The first video I want you to watch, and I want you to tell me what's happening. That's the derby last week. That's the win in jock. He's praising the Lord for the win. Okay, first thing he says is, he's praising the Lord for the win.

 

Ruth Ann

So this is the results that happened this week of the derby. The horse did nothing wrong. But you see, the first thing that jockey does is praise the Lord, and then the first thing he does when the interviewer comes up is he praises the Lord. Okay, but this past week, he was fined $62,000 and suspended for two days. And so this is the headlines, he was fine, $62,000 where did they come up with? $62,000 right? Good question. Now I'm not a mathematical person. But let's just talk about it. For winning the derby. The jockey himself made $310,000 that's what he got paid out of it. Okay? There is a you pay an entry fee. You pay several $100,000 to enter the derby. They take this amount of money that people pay, they put it into an interest bearing fund, because you pay into these funds over a series of times, and they take that and the interest money and data, and now you have your pot of money, which the total pot this year was $5 million the money is not made off of gambling. Sorry to disappoint you. So in races like this, I've run many in my lifetime, and you pay an entry fee. I'm sorry, folks. So nobody in the running part of it is making money off of the gambling end of it. Y'all understand what I'm telling you. They're making money from their interest fees, and over the year or two years that you pay into it, the amount of interest that is made becomes the pot. Is everybody good with me? I know we get cards and letters because everybody thought you were making money. the horse people are not making money from the gambling. I know tis tis. Let's talk about this jockey, Jose Alvarado. So where did the $62,000 come from? How did they decide on $62,000 as to what to fine him? That's a good question, is it not? Well, it just happens to be 10% of what his what he paid. 10% sounds like a tithe to me. So They charged him 10% Why did he get fined. You're going to say he was using drugs. No drugs. Sorry, no drugs. Was involved in this. He hit the horse eight times instead of the legal limit of six. That's like they do with their whip. It's not like this. They're they cannot hit a horse. It is forbidden for this straight down, hit like you're thinking in a race track. They hit them like this. Okay, it's more of a tapping with a whip. It's not this type of hit. It's this type of hit. Y'all get what I'm saying. But in the racing industry now, I want you to remember, he was fine 10% and let's talk about this guy. Okay, the first thing he did was give praise to the Lord. He was fine. 62,000. so 62 means a band, a priest girdle, an ornamental belt. It means to be strong, to heal. It means the healer. It also means to separate, distinguish, marked to see, discern, hear, feel, all of those are part of it. It also happens to mean to defile, and 62 in Hebrew represents Baal, the god. Just thought you needed to know that. Now you can go to Psalm 62 which was written this way, Truly my soul finds rest in God. My salvation comes from Him. Truly, He is my rock and my salvation, He is my fortress, and I will never be shaken. How long will you assault me? Would all of you throw me down this leaning wall, this tottering fence? Surely they intend to topple me from my lofty place. They take delight in lies, and with their mouths, they bless, but in their hearts, they curse. You know, God's told us not to curse in our hearts. Yes, my soul finds rest in God. My hope comes from Him. Truly. He's the rock in my salvation. He's my fortress, and I will not be shaken. And you can keep on reading that, but Psalm 62 talks about other people taking advantage. Six, here's what it means, okay, it means the image of man, Beast, flesh, work, sacrifice. Okay, that's not too good. It's the number of man. Six is considered to be the number of man. But the number of times that he hit the horse was eight. So what is eight? It literally means to make fat. It means new beginnings, not just complete, but like seven, but totally complete, becoming fat, having more than enough ,full to overflowing. Going from the natural to the supernatural ,transcends the natural to the supernatural. It's a big difference in eight and six, is it not so? Let me take you to another step forward, and let me let you understand something that happened here. Maybe you didn't understand or maybe that's not clear to you,? And then, God, I want to tell you what God said to me about this, is that, basically, this man is a businessman. When he's a jockey on this level, he is not just working for somebody he's a businessman for himself and he has business expense. He pays an agent to work for him. All jockeys on this level, pays an agent, a full time person, to work for them. They set up his races. They do X, and the jockeys agent gets 10% plus a weekly fee out of everything. He hires a second rider because he can't take the chance of working the horse to get hurt during the week, and I've even known a jockey to be killed working horses that were rank and breaking them. So he hires someone to do that for him every week. So that also takes 10% if he wins a race like that, to that person, plus the weekly fee. So every jockey on this level has at least two people working for them. He's a businessman. He's not a even like David Alvarez that comes here, he has those two people working for him that he pays on a weekly basis. Is everybody good with me? So it's a little bit different. It's not like going out here to a bushtrack and jumping on a horse. They become business people. They have to pay taxes. They have to have these business eins. Is everybody good with me? So when you hear that he earned 310,000 that's means that he is a businessman, has to pay his expenses, and then his actual earnings come after his expenses. So what was the 62,000 somebody look up Malachi . Now he would Malachi 3, and let's talk about where it says, Bring the what tithe into the storehouse. So what did they cut into? What did the world go after 'his tithe'? What did Satan go after? And I'm not saying the man didn't tithe. I know he's a Christian, so that means he's going to tithe. Do you see what I'm saying? We've had jockeys to give tithes into this church. When they won races, they brought us the tithe. And so basically, what God said to me this morning, he said, watch what I'm telling you. Pay attention to what I'm telling you, he said Satan has been after the tithe because he said, in my kingdom, the tithe is what brings increase. That's true, right? And he said to me, for the last year, Satan has been robbing the amount of tithe from God's people. Who's got Malachi 3, where it says, Bring all ties.

 

Sheila

You have cheated me of the Tithes and Offerings due to me. You are under a curse for your whole nation has been cheating me. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse that so there will be enough food in my temple. If you do, says the Lord of Heaven's Armies, I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in try it put me to the test.

 

Ruth Ann

So he said, the nation first has been cheating God, because the nation's not tithing into what God is doing. And then he talks to the individual, and he says, you bring the tithe. But God said to me this morning, what you're seeing is the tithe being robbed. Is everybody good with me? Because they fined him for hitting the horse two more times than the legal six. Remember, they have to hit the hands this way. They can't hit em this way. Are y'all good with me? He would not be still riding if he hit this way. Are y'all good with me? It has to come. So when I'm saying it comes this way, it's not as hard as this way. Is everybody good with me? Does it make sense in what I'm saying? So if you notice, the jockey will hold their where, where he's coming this way, out of their hands. If you've ever wondered. About that they're holding it this way because that's the way they have to hit the horse in a legal race. Is everybody good with me?

 

Ruth Ann

Now I don't care if you plan to give a tithe or not, that's irrelevant this morning, but what we're going to do is we're going to give you a tithing envelope, and we're going to war for a minute for the tithe the back for each one of us. Okay? Because if Satan is stealing the tithe or if he's lessening your tithe. So basically, we can argue all day, do you give the tithe on the gross or the net? Are y'all good with me? We could argue that all day long. The Bible really doesn't tell us. I've never found where it told us that, okay, gross or net, but many business people will deduct their expenses. Do you see what I'm saying and give a tithe then, because that's what they make like you've had already had taxes and everything deducted from your paycheck, and now your paycheck is what you make. Is everybody good with me? So you have a choice. Do you give your tithe before taxes was taken out or after? Do you see what I'm saying? I don't know. That's between you and God. Is everybody good with me? Okay, if you have a tithe, even if it's a penny, put it in there. And I don't usually talk about tithing. Y'all know that. So God really was serious about this when he showed me this and told me to talk about tithing, because he said, for the last year, the tithe has gotten less into God's kingdom, because the tithe is being robbed. Specifically, the tithe is being robbed out of the kingdom of God. Is everybody good with me? And this is a this is really pointing out that the tithe and Satan is after the tithe, because the tithe is the amount that brings your increase. Is everybody good? It's your insurance policy, the first fruits brings your extra and the tithe brings the increase. Is everybody good with me? Okay, so if you have something to put in, I don't care. This is for irrelevant. If you have a penny, put it in there. If you don't have anything to put in there, it's your prophetic act. You are claiming the tithe the back. Is everybody good with me? So if you claim the tide tie the back, that means your amount has to be an a certain amount. Do you understand what I'm saying? It means you have to have X in your pocket. You have to have whatever the 10% was. You see what I'm saying, in your pocket? You have to have the amount of the whole without the 10% Is that making sense? So, Ben, we're going to get a basket, and you're going to pass it around, please, and we're going to take up an offering, okay? And mine's back there in the chair, if you'll pick it up in an envelope. So I don't care, don't put your name on it. This is not for your name. That's not for anything like that. It is for your prophetic act. You are making a prophetic act. You are claiming back your tithe. Is this make sense? Okay? So when you got your envelope, whatever you've got in your envelope, or if you've got your money, that you're going to tithe in your envelope, by proxy, you just said is coming. And then if you want to name how much you want to be tithing, name it. Pray over that envelope now, and we will name it.

 

Ruth Ann

So start. And I'm letting anybody else that needs to pray so Father, in the name of Jesus, we hold up our tithe, and we name what we want our tithe to increase to, and we say this is from the Lord so, Father God, in the name of Jesus, where the tithe has been attacked, where the enemy has come in to stop the operation of the kingdom of God, and has attacked the tithe, each one of person, and everyone listening, Father God, we say that Python comes off of your tithe, where Python has been squeezing, where Python brings witchcraft against your tithe, where Python releases your tithe and puts your tithe under witchcraft. We break the witchcraft words off of your money. We tell all witchcraft spoken against your money, your finances to come off. We tell witchcraft to lose your finances. We tell where the government structure has used ways through the banking systems and different organizations to steal your money, to lessen what you have. We say that stops today. It comes off of our money, the government the structure, because that's what was involved in Python in Acts 16, the structure of the government will rose up that time to aid Python. So we say where the structure of the government has been lessening your tithe through taxes or any other means that comes off now that comes off now we say we. We say, Python, get off now. Let it go. Let these people's finances go. Let it be burnt out of their finances. Let their let the burning fire of YAHWAH enter their bank accounts, their finances, their sources of income, and burn out the structure of Babylon that's holding their finances, and we call them to freedom. Father, we speak to mammon, and we say, mammon, where you have brought in someone else's love of money, ripping off God's people, Father God, we say, mammon, you let your greed come off. Now the spirit of greed can no longer enter their bank accounts. It cannot enter their paychecks. It cannot enter their businesses, their sources of income. We say, mammon, you come off now you lose these people to be able to prosper in their storehouses, to overflow and them to bring the fullness of the tithe that they desire into your kingdom, Father. So Father God, we tell Jezebel where she has come to steal, to steal, where Athaliah has come to steal inheritances, where she's come to destroy an inheritance. Father God, we tell Athaliah and her mother, Jezebel, to get out of their business, to get off of their finances, to get out to loose, to lose this day, everything you stole that is returned back and it's put back in proper order everywhere we've ever bowed a knee and gave in to Athaliah. We stand up to her face, and we say, Athaliah, we're taking back the inheritance, and you can no longer hold the inheritance. It comes out of the hands of Athaliah and back into the hands of the kingdom. And so Father, in the name of Jesus, we rise up today. We rise up today, over the system of Babylon, over the system, Father God of the beast, that it can no longer hold us. It can no longer take and rob what's going into the kingdom. But we declare Your kingdom come ,Your will be done, and your will is for your people and your church, where they take their storehouse, where they bring their tithe, where they bring their tithe ,to prosper. And so we can declare prosperity where the tithe is sown. We do. We declare prosperity where the tithe is sown. And so Father God, we thank You. We thank You, Father God, as you come into this and we break the fine, the fine of the enemy, penalizing us because we believe in Yeshua, Jesus, the Messiah. And we do not receive the fine because we come into the courts of heaven and we ask the court to rule in the favor of God's people this day, and let the Ancient of Days rule in our favor that we can no longer be fine because we believe in Yeshua, Jesus, the Messiah. He is the one true and only God. So Father God, we ask for your ruling to drop today, that your people can no longer be fine for our beliefs.

Father right now, in the name of Jesus, I take authority over every fowl water spirit in Jesus name that has stolen finances from this ministry, that has stolen finances from individuals in this ministry, in the name of Jesu., Ha, Ha, and Father, I thank you that the finances comes up out of the sea, back into the hands of your people, back into the hands of your ministry, back into your hand, back into the hands of the apostle, the Prophet, the five fold ministry gifts Father that we do not go but lacking. And I take authority over the lack attack right now in Jesus name, and I break the backbone of these water spirits that have been assigned to this land in Jesus name, and I tell you, no more, no more, no more. You going to give it up. And so Father, I thank you right now for the blood of Jesus that covers each and everyone of us. And Father, I thank you for the sound and the frequency that comes up out of the sea that is the sound of heaven, where it has been perverted and it has been twisted and it has been manipulated and controlled by the enemy. Father, we say no to the enemy. We say no to the enemy, we say no, and we say yes to YAHWAH, in Jesus name. I just want to share this this morning. And God's been talking to me about finances. He's been really talking to me about finances, and we've been praying about finances not to to be greedy and to be selfish, but to further the kingdom of God and get things done that need to be done for the Kingdom. How many of you know that in the natural it cost money for these lights to run. It costs money to finish this garden out here, it cost money to to put rock out in the parking lot. And so what the enemy tries to do is he tries to come in and he tries to steal and to rob and to manipulate and control the minds of the people so they will not give. Ruth Ann said it so beautifully about the tithe, and that what the Lord had spoken to her this morning that just resonated with me, because that's what he's been talking to me about. And so, you know, I have the mouth of two or three witnesses, the Lord says, Let everything be established. God was trying to get things to you, but he's got to be able to get it through you. It's not for us to hold on to things. The Bible's clearly says that God meets all of our needs according to His riches and glory. But I want more than just my needs met. I want to live in the abundance, and that's where God is calling us to to the overflow of the abundance. And every time the enemy tells you, no, you don't need to do this, you don't need to do that. You don't need to sow seed here. You don't need to sow seed there. Well, let me tell you what the devil is stealing your seed and stealing your blessing. And God's really been on me about talking to me about this too. And I just appreciate the Holy Spirit, because it's the same spirit talking to all of us, if we'll listen. So I just decree, in the name of Jesus, blessings on this ministry. And that covers all the ministries that's under the leadership of Ruth Ann, I bless the ministries, and I bless you in Jesus name and Lord, I just speak blessings on myself. Come on. Alright, that's all.

 

Ruth Ann

So, Father, we thank you for the newness of blessings. Anybody got anything else they want to pray before we stop. Father God, we thank you that we're no longer fined. We, thank you that your ruling today says Your people are not fined. But we can live a prosperous life, and we can bring the tithe into the storehouse wherever you tell us to bring it wherever you tell us to sow, Father God, we can bring the tithe, because now we have a hedge, your hedge around our prosperity, that Our tithe can come, in The name of Jesus. You

030826 God is Preparing an Altar in Heaven

By Ruth Ann McDonald • March 9, 2026
030126 The Estuary  Keywords Lion of Judah, intercessors, prophets, apostles, evangelists, teachers, pastors, Gulf Coast, Pascagoula, ungodly trading, politicians, victory, Holy Spirit, prayer, healing.

Father, we see this is something the Lord showed me this morning. As I was praying, I heard the Lord say, you've got to see yourself on the other side of victory. And so, Father, I see the other side of victory. Father, as we press towards the mark, Father, that we move from glory to glory in you, Lord, thank You for the victory. Yes, thank you for the victory. Sonja: Father. I thank you that as intercessors and warriors that have been in their slumber places of intercession have woke up.

I see the Lion and he's on the Gulf Coast, is where I see him, and he's running, and there's fire coming from his mouth, and every time he blows the fire, Judah Team Sonja: the sand is moving, there's a move, there's a parting. There are things that are moving, and what's been covered up in the sand. Oh, my, it's moving, it's moving. Oh, it's moving. It's moving. It's moving. And the Lord says, watch the Gulf Coast, watch the waterways, watch the Gulf Coast. Oh, it's moving. There's things moving. He's moving it out of your way, he's moving it out of your way, he's moving it out of your way. And the paw prints of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah go deep in the sand, and he roars, and he roars, and he says, God's plan, God's plan, not man's, not man's. And the Lion of the Tribe of Judah blowing his fire, and it's burning up. Oh, my, oh, it's burning up. It's burning up those things that the witches and the warlocks have released on the sand and in the water on the Gulf Coast, he's burning it up. He's burning it up. Oh, he's burning it up. He's burning it up. Pascagoula, Pascagoula, Pascagoula, oh. Pascagoula, you're on the Father's heart. Pascagoula, oh, no witch doctor, no witch doctor, no shaman, no witch, no warlock, no wizard can have Pascagoula, no. Oh, he's burning it up. He's burning up the trading, the trading, there's trading, I will go in the Lord's favor. It's in the Lord's favor and in his hands. The trafficking will stop, the trafficking will stop. Oh, Pascagoula, Pascagoula, your own the Father's heart. Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up. Sheila: The ungodly trading floors being destroyed. God is cutting off the ungodly trade. Judah Team Sonja: I hear the Lord say the politicians in Pascagoula and on the Gulf Coast, hear the heart of the Lord. Hear the Word of the Lord. Don't make the deal. Don't make the deal. Don't make the deal. Don't make that deal. Don't make it. Lord says it will be your demise if you do, I'm giving you a chance to make it through. Don't make the deal. Listen to my voice. Listen to my roar. Listen, listen, Listen, you politicians. Listen, listen, oh. Ah, listen up you politician. I've sent my angels to help you. Hearken to the word of the Lord. Listen to My roar. Sonja: I hear the Lord say, I am about to deflate the rafts that some of these politicians have been floating on, thinking they were walking on the water, thinking they were going to have an easy row in the water to get where they needed to be, but the Lord says, I'm deflating their rafts. I'm deflating their rafts, and I'm raising up those politicians who will take a stand for me. Who will stand up rightly and fight for what I have already given you for free. For it is your choice whether to stand uprightly before me. But I am calling you, I am speaking, and I will help you make it through. There will be those that will rise up in government that have been in the shadows of My Spirit, hidden under the wing of My Spirit. For I am propelling them out of the nest of the Almighty in the spirit to rise up, to rise up and take their position, because they have ears to listen. So take heed this day you politicians that's on the rafts for you're about to sink. For I've given you time and I've given you chances. I've given you opportunities to turn from your wicked ways and to get off that raft and to get on solid ground and to step out of the boat and walk with me. But you have turned a deaf ear to what I am saying, to my wooing, to my instruction, and taking the path of destruction. Whoa, whoa, whoa you say, but Lord, but Lord, nothing, says the Lord, your time is up and now you will drink from your own cup. Rakha: So you were talking about Pascagoula, and what the Lord brought to my mind was estuary. I didn't even know how to spell it, but estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water, where fresh water from rivers mixes with salt water from the sea. And what, basically, what that is, is like it says it's where fresh water bumps up against salt water, and then there's a barrier. But the two don't ever mix. And one of the largest estuary is the Pascagoula River Estuary, known as part of one of the last free flowing rivers in a contentious USA. It creates a vital nutrient rich mixing zone. But what I'm taking from this is how the Lord has created this amazing this amazing thing where fresh water meets salt water, and it never intermingles. It doesn't mix, it doesn't flow over. And the same thing could be said with evil and good. Good is good. Good doesn't mingle with evil. Evil is evil. We should never let evil mingle with good. We should not call good evil or evil good. Speaking to because this is Pascagoula you're talking about, we're talking to the leaders of that area. No more mixing, no more calling Good evil and evil good. And I'm even speaking to Ingle's Shipyard, because Ingle's shipyard is in that area. There's something to do with that little, that little triangle there, but we're speaking this out today to the leaders of Pascagoula and the Gulf Coast. Ruth Ann : So Lord Jesus, we hear Your word. We hear what you're saying, Father, and we declare that you're the ultimate. You are everlasting. You are the only God. And we hear you and what you want Father. And we hear your exposure. We hear what you're calling out, and we hear what you don't want to mix. And so Father, where we've called evil good, and where we mixed, Father God, and where we mixed and we mixed. And I've been standing back here hearing the Lord saying, before you said that, Rakha, he's been saying to me over and over and over. He said, The winds of evil and the winds of good have mixed, and I am unmixing them. I am separating the winds that have mixed. To verify what you've just said, I have separated, and I am separating when people cannot tell evil from good and good from evil, he says, I'm separating it. I'm separating so my people and those that are called by my name can identify evil, and those that are called by my name will do the true good. So, Father, we hear you today as you're unmixing and as you're building a barrier, a barrier that we don't slip over, that your people will put, a barrier that we don't slip over into the evil. We don't mix. We can go right up to it, whatever you tell us to do, but we don't get caught. So Father, we thank You for this barrier. We thank You, Father God, as we Choose, as your people this barrier. Judah Team : Oh, The blood of Jesus. Oh the Blood of Jesus cover us , cover us, cover us . It is the barrier to protect us. Oh, the blood of Jesus cover us. clear vision. Clear Vision, clear vision, clear vision, oh, no distortion in vision. Clear vision, clear vision. Oh, The blood of Jesus, cover us. Sonja: I don't know who this is for, but this is for somebody that's either here that's watching or will be watching, but The Lord says you've been entangled in the mangle, and the Lord says, I'm unraveling and I'm untangling you. He said, your nervous system has been so tangled and so mangled where there's not have been a connection properly, In your soul, in your body and in your spirit. And he says, I'm untangling those things that have had you mangled. He says, I want you to breathe. Just breathe, breathe me in, breathe me out. Breathe me in, and breathe me out. He says, those things within your nervous systems that have not properly connected in the past and have correctly fired into your nervous system. He says, there's going to be a bursting forth in your soul, in your body and in your spirit, that's going to cause a reconnection to make you whole. He says, there's been things that have had you mangled and tangled and fragmented, but the Lord says those parts of you are coming back, they're coming back, and you will begin to experience freedom and sleep. The Lord says, sleep, sleep, because you haven't been able to sleep, and it's caused you to have a lot of physical problems in your body, and you're on a lot of medications. And the Lord says, as the tangling unmangles and the mangling untangles and the reconnection of your fragmented parts into your spirit, into your soul and into your body, your health will improve almost overnight. The doctors will be amazed, and they'll want to keep you on a maintenance dose of whatever the medications that you're taking. But you're going to stand up and you're going to say, No, God did this, I'm healed. And the Lord says, for the next 12 months, the next year, you're going to see a drastic change, not only in yourself, but within your atmosphere and those around you. And he says, As you walk this out and you experience this, he said, write it down, because it's your testimony, and you will share what I've done for you to many in Jesus name. Ruth Ann: So as Sonya said that I felt several in this room that's not sleeping. So the Lord said, just hold your hands out and just surrender your nervous system to the Lord. And just say, Lord, where I've been going over and over and over those things in my mind. I just give them to you, and I take back my rest. I take back my sleep. I come to a rest in you. Just, just let him, just let him touch you, and give you back your sleep. Give you back your rest. Because that's so so important. Rest is so important for you to make the day, to make the things that God wants you to do. So God wants to heal your rest today, and just step into that Healing Word and just take the rest. There's somebody in here that you sleep better the two hours you sleep in the afternoons and you do at night. And God said, just let it go and rest. Just rest. Rest in me that I've got it. So you're in covenant with him, and covenant means he shows up for you. So just come to a rest. Sonja: There's somebody that's been having problems in one of your shoulders. I do not know which one it is, and the doctors, have talked about different techniques of therapy, and he's even talked about surgery. And the Lord says he's healing your shoulder. He's healing the shoulder. The shoulder, there's a shoulder being healed. He says, just move it around. Move it around. Raise your hand. Do something you couldn't do before, because the Lord is healing your shoulder. Rakha: I just want to give praise to the Lord for the vision that he's given me today. So earlier, when Sonja was talking about praying to your victory, imagine your victory, seeing your victory. What I saw was the Lord took me back before that victory. What he took me back to was the point of contention, or the point the roadblock, the roadblock that the enemy had set up for me. And I saw it. I saw the lights, and I saw the black and white little sign, and it did say roadblock. And so what happened from that point is , the Lord carried me from the point of that roadblock. And I see myself floating. The Lord's holding me like this. He has his hand on me, and I'm floating as he's walking me through that roadblock all the way, and I see we're going like we're swerving here and missing this. But I can't see, I can't see anything around me, because my focus is on the Lord, and because I'm so focused on Him, everything else that the enemy has thrown. I don't see it. I don't miss it, and I'm steadily just floating through the atmosphere, because the Lord has my hand, and he's guiding me. He's taking me, he's carrying me. And I get to the end, and when I get to the end, I start descending, and my feet touch the ground. I have arrived at my victory, the victory that the Lord has carried me through. So Heavenly Father, I just say thank you, and I praise you for all the times that you have carried me from the roadblock that the enemy has set up for me. You have carried me. I have stayed focused on you, and you have carried me through that to my next Victory. Thank you. Judah Team: We walk in the victory. Thank you for the victory today. Thank you for the victory. We walk in the victory. We cry victory, victory. We see it in a new way today. We see the victory today we walk in the victory. That's what he said, to do. Ooh, Victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory we, thank you, Lord for the victory. Sonja: Father. I thank you right now in the name of Jesus that we had the victory, Father, everything, everything has been accomplished through Jesus Christ. Father, I thank you for the victory and all of our lives that we can move forward to what's next. What's next, Lord, here we are, and so we praise You, Father. I thank you for the victory. I thank you for the victory. Hallelujah. Sheila: I just there's some I want to add, was so significant what Rakha shared, and it's that having that God perspective of whatever's going o., God's been walking me through some things, and I've been saying, Lord, I need to see what you see about this, because I can't take care of this. And so when you're talking about holding his hand and God leading you to the victory that's having, the having God's perspective of whatever is going on, whatever obstacle, whatever roadblock is in your way, that's what's going on. Sheila: Well if you come here very often, you know that one of our it's not one of our big things, obviously, it takes finances to run a ministry, but taking an offering is not, it's not center stage. But I just feel it's like people give as they feel to give, to tithe or give offerings. But I just feel to say that the altars are open, if you would, if you feel to give an offering, if the Lord is speaking to you, and this is online also. But Father, this day, I just what keeps rolling in me, with what Ruth Ann has spoken of, and with what's going on in the world is we cannot get in fear. And sometimes it's hard in the natural to say, God, what are you saying, in the prophetic, we're seeing what's happening in the natural, but in the in the prophetic. What are you doing and what are you saying? It can be hard to make that leap, because we want to go into what we think or how we're raised, or what we hear people saying. So Father, we just turn our eyes to you, even with what Ruth Ann spoke today, we turn our eyes to you for what you're saying. You're a prophetic picture in this time. Lord, we want to step where we need to step. Touch our lips in Jesus name. Sonja: You know, I just got out of teaching a class to the young people on the prophetic and we talked about today hearing the voice of God, and how we know we hear the voice of God. There's a lot of voices speaking in the earth today through radio, TV, media, social media, family, friends, work, there's a lot of voices, but the Lord says, My sheep hear my voice and a voice of a stranger, they will not follow. So it's imperative. It's important. And I didn't hear Ruth Ann's teaching this morning, but we've got to, we got to hear clearly. And the way you hear clearly from the Lord is through relationship. You know one of the illustrations. And I asked the kids, I said, if you're in one part of the house and you heard somebody call your name and you knew your mother was in the other room, how would you know that was your mother? And they said, I know her voice. I said, How do you know her voice? Look through relationship. That's how you learn the voice of the Lord, through relationship and communication. And Jesus is always talking to us all the time. The Holy Spirit is always talking to us, but we get so caught up, and this is what he doesn't want us to do, is get so caught up in listening to other voices that we miss hearing the voice of the Lord and what he's telling us, or what he just wants to communicate to us. He may not be requiring anything. He may just want to say, How's your day going? Hey, how you doing today? But if we're so busy listening to all the voices and all the things that's going on around us, it numbs us in the spirit from hearing the voice of the Lord. I communicate with God and talk to the Lord just like I'm talking to you right now. And then sometimes it takes on a different form. It depends on what's going on and how he's wanting me to intercede about a situation, but it's called communication. Communication it's a two way street It's not one sided. If we're doing all the talking and not listening to what he's saying, we're not hearing. So hear his voice today. Listen to what he has to say. Communicate with him. If you've got a problem or you're going through something, he already knows it, because you he sees what's going on, but he you have to come boldly to His throne room and ask. He says, You have not because you asked not. You got to ask the right questions. You got to talk to him about it. He loves that, because he's not withholding any good thing from you. He's wanting to give you the answer. He's wanting to talk to you. My sheep, hear my voice and a voice of a stranger, they won't follow, listen, communicate, relationship, Amen. Sonja: Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You, Father, that those Listen The Bible says, My sheep, if you don't belong in the if you're not in the sheepfold of the shepherd, and if you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, this scripture does not apply to you. He says, My sheep, hear my voice, a voice of a stranger they will not follow, if you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, see somebody after the service and say, you know, I need prayer. We'll pray with you. We will love to pray with you. If you've been wandering out in the wilderness and left the 99 Jesus will leave the 99 to go after the one he is hot on your trail to bring you back into the fold. So Father, right now, in the name of Jesus, I thank you that Your sheep hear your voice, the voice of a stranger they do not follow. Father. I bless every sheep in this place today, those that are listening online, those that will listen. I speak blessings. I decree and declare that you will hear clearly the very things that God is speaking to your heart and you will listen. You will communicate with him, and you will be obedient to make whatever adjustments you need to make, to let go of whatever you need to let go, to add to whatever he's wanting you to add to in your life. Father, I speak blessings. Father, I thank you that you're pouring out your blessings on your people today, your sheep. Father, you are opening the windows of heaven and pouring out blessings on them that there's no room to contain it. Whether they see it or whether they don't, it's by faith we receive. So Father, we receive your blessings. Father, I decree and declare protection around each of your sheep today that the blood of Jesus covers them and speaks louder than those things that would try to stop them this day. Father, I call down the fire of God, the fire Holy Spirit, just like on the day of Pentecost, when the fire of the tongues came to consume every attack of the enemy against your sheep, and to purify those things which are on the inside of us that you put in us, because fire refines, refine us Oh God, refine us. Lord. Father, I just thank you for your blessings, for your provision. He's already provided. He's already provided. Father, all the stress and all the anxiety and the fear, I just take it off your sheep in the name of Jesus as they come into that green pasture with the Great Shepherd that you are and they fow and function as one. Judah Team Sheila: Touch the coals to out lips. Touch the coat to our lips. Cleanse us. So we can say, Here I am, send me, here I am send me, Here I am send me Lord. Lord, here I am send me, here I am send me, here I am send me, Lord. Sonja: I keep thinking about that one that left the 99 like a wandering sheep that's just out there wandering around, just wandering around, just running around, and he's thinking, I wonder, what if I did if I went over here, and if I went over there and I did this and I did that, I'm just wandering around, going around in circles, and wondering in my mind, what if? What if I hadn't done that? What if I had not have said that, living in regret and shame and guilt and condemnation, and here comes the shepherd with his staff. i Love you , It's not your fault. It's under the blood of Jesus. He pulls it back in with his staff. Come on. And that sheep says, I'm not wandering around out here anymore alone, being the long runner being attacked by wolves in sheep's clothing, I'm not being attacked by the weather, the storms of life. I'm not being robbed of what the Lord My Shepherd has already provided for me, the food that I need for nourishment to grow, and the guidance with the staff to show me the way and to guide me up the mountain, down the valley in the forest, through the trees into green pastures. This is what the Word says. Therefore there is no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, there's none. So if you're feeling guilty and condemned and shamed, that's not of God. You let it go and you take authority over it. And the Bible says to cast down vain imaginations, anything that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ, you bring it under subjection in alignment with God's thoughts and what he has to say about you. Lord says, You've been reading the wrong book of the world. You need to read my book, and what I have to say about you, your identity is found in me, and you are of my sheepfold, and I'm pulling you back in, and there's no guilt or condemnation, because He loves you. Father, I thank You that You love us Father. I thank you that you have and you are love, Holy Spirit, thank you that we feel that love in our hearts and our bodies and our souls, in our minds, in every area of our life. Father. I thank you that love covers a multitude of sin. Love covers doesn't hide things. It's not it doesn't hide but it covers all those wounds and all those things in our life, Father and there's life in love, because you are love, there's life in your blood. Hallelujah.

022226 Walking On the Water Keywords Holy Spirit, water, mysteries, deliverance, redemption, umbilical cord, amniotic fluid, birth, questions, cleansing, provision, dominion, anointing, heartbeat, vision. Judah Team Sheila: Going deep, going deep, going deeper to the center, going deep. Oh, Holy Spirit hover. Judah Team Sonja: Hear the sound, hear the sound washing over you. There is a sound of freedom, it's the sound of freedom. Wow. Hear the sound, it's the sound of deliverance. It's the sound of freedom, it's the sound of redemption, It's the sound of the rushing waters. It's the sound. Sonja: This is what I hear the Lord say, help me Holy Spirit. I see Jesus on the water. He's walking on the water, and he's holding out his hands, and he's saying, will you come walk with me? Will you come walk with me? And let me show you the secrets, the mysteries of when the Earth was created and the land and the water were separated. There are things I want to show you, but you've got to walk on the water with me. He says, as you stay focused on me, you won't sink and you won't go under and you won't drown. But there are mysteries. There are mysteries between when the water and the land was separated, that had been hidden until now, and I need you to take my hand and walk on the water so I can reveal to you those things which need to come forth, those things that need to come forth on the earth today. For I have chosen you for such a time as this, to walk on the water with me in between the land and the sea. So take my hand, take my hand and walk with me, and let me show you and reveal to thee those things that have been hidden until now. Sonja: This is going to sound really strange; this is what I'm seeing, and then this is what I'm hearing; It's time, It's time. Okay, I'm just gonna say it like this. I see in umbilical cord that's been attached to these mysteries, and the baby's been in the amniotic fluid, the water, the water, and it's time for that water to be dispelled and the umbilical cord cut , to bring forth the mysteries and the things that the Lord has held back for such a time as this, as we walk on the water, for him to reveal those things. Judah Team Sonja : The birthing is now. [sound release] My plans and purposes for you, my plans and purposes for the nations. Sheila: So I have to say, just to go along with what Sonja was saying before you started speaking, it's like I was seeing the mysteries of the water. I was hearing questions, not answers. Questions like, Holy Spirit hovered over the water so the waters were there. Questions like, God allowed the flood of the earth with water to cleanse, and he's not going to allow it again. Questions about the waters. I even had a question, is more under the earth water than we believe or than we've been told? So totally confirm and Father, I thank you for what you're doing, what you're birthing. And I just feel need to respond. Judah Team Sheila: Holy Spirit, we want to walk on the water with you, to hover with you, to see what you see and what you do. Oh, Jesus, we want to walk on the water with you, see what you see and do what you do. Are you ready to walk on the wa ter with him? Are you ready to hover with Holy Ghost. Are You ready to walk on the water with Him , are you ready to hover with Holy Ghost? How much of our bodies are water, and the water protects the babies in the womb. Much of the Earth is made of water. It's all connected. Holy Spirit we want to walk on the water with you, to hover with you, see what you do, see what you see. Yeshua, we ready to walk on the water with you, to see what you see and see what you do. Judah Team Sheila: You know the story of when Peter stepped out of the boat. Jesus held out his hand. Peter stepped out of the boat. Then he looked at the waves he began to sink. But what if? What if Peter had walked with Jesus? What would we what would he have seen? What if it was more than stepping out on the water and he would have seen what Jesus saw. He would have stepped where Jesus stepped. Oh, are you ready? Are You ready? Are You ready? More questions, what if the waves are the heartbeat of the earth? What if the waters keep in the beat? Sonja: I don't know how to put all this together, so I'm just gonna. You know when we were singing and Jesus says, Will you take my Hand? Will you walk on the water with me? I saw his hands, the holes in his hands, and then I saw when they pierced his side, and water came out. And we're join heirs with Jesus Christ seated in heavenly places. And I'm trying to bring all this together; see I'll bear with me. Then I saw Jesus being baptized by John going under the water and coming up. Then I saw when he was calling the disciples, and they were out there fishing, and he said, Cast out your nets. And they had just multiple there were so many fish, which was provision. Then I saw us walking on the water. We took his hand, and when we took his hand, that power when we stay connected to him, is in us. It's in us. And I saw as we were walking on the water, we begin to look down what's under the water, and you could see it was like crystal clear. There's provision, there's wealth, there's resources in the water. It brings cleansing, it brings healing, it brings sound, it brings provision, suffering, however we, depending on how we, how do I say this? Because God gave us dominion, what we have need of, what we possess through Jesus Christ has already been provided, but we've got to deep in the water of His Word. Through the cleansing of His word, of the resurrection of His Word, Jesus coming up out of the water is symbolic of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as we are ducked under the water, and we take his hand, he's given us the power and the provision and everything that we have need of. But as long as we if we let go of his hand and we let go of our focus on Him, we're disconnected. We're disconnecting ourselves from him, and we walk in a defeated life and we sink just as Peter did. I saw the hole in his hand, the power his side being pierced, him being baptized, and us walking on the water. And also saw the net going out into the water, and provision was provided. They had more than enough. You know when Peter, when Jesus was walking on the water, and Jesus called for him, Peter had to do something. He had to actually get up and do something and take that step and be obedient. When the disciples were out there fishing, and Jesus said, Cast out your nets. They had to do something. They had to take action and physically do something by casting their nets out. When Jesus was baptized, he had to do something. He had to walk out in the water, as an example to us. Jesus has already done it, y'all, he's already done it, but we have to do something to partner with him and to hold on to his hand and let that power flow in us. His glory, His anointing. Peter kept his eyes on Jesus for a brief moment walked a little bit, then he took his eyes off of Jesus. Sonja: Father, help us, Holy Spirit, help us to keep our eyes focused on you and what you're doing and what you're saying. That we can walk continuously, walk in your power, in your anointing and your glory, Father. So that we can be cleansed, so that we can have everything that you've already provided for us. Lord, I thank You that You've given us the power and the dominion over what's under the sea, what's above the sea. Father, you've given us dominion because we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ. And Lord, there's a lot of body. Sheila was singing about it while ago, about the body, the body of water. And I thought about the physical body, and how that we all were made up of water, the body of water, yeah. And so Lord, I thank you right now, I thank You, Father God, for the rhythm and the heartbeat of your sound, your sound. Sheila: You keep with the beat Ashton, whatever you're hearing. Sonja: And you know, on the land for things to produce on the land, it has to have water to grow. We have to have the water of the word in us to grow. Ruth Ann: Years ago, I was at a conference that's years ago, you remember Lynn Hammond, she said something in this conference it just got my attention. And she said she sat down with the Lord. She said, she sat down with the Lord one day, and she opened her Bible to the Psalms. And she asked the Lord, what do you want me to read today? And she felt like she was reading, and I don't remember what passage it was, but she felt like she was reading what the word had told her to read, and she was reading it verbally, out loud. What she was reading for she was listening to the Lord to emphasize something to her. Have you ever listened to the Lord to emphasize something to you? That's where you tell where he is, what you know, what rings with you, what you feel resonate on the inside of you. And she kept on. And then she went to the word that he emphasized to her, and she started digging the word. She started digging it out, and she started praying the word. And I don't remember what the word was, but I never have forgotten what she taught because I've used it ever since. And she said that God suddenly took her into a vision from that word. And it was about an act the word meant, when she looked it up, accident, when she got to the original meaning in it. She said that God suddenly took her to a vision and showed her husband was about to be in a plane crash, and he was in the plane at that time flying. This made a profound way, I started listening to the Lord. Because the Lord told her husband's plane was about to crash, she had so much time to pray that he would live. And he did. He crashed during her prayer time. He was in a plane that crashed during her prayer time. But the thing about it is she was listening to the Lord. She was in the Bible. She was listening to the Lord. She was listening to what the Lord emphasized to her, and then the Lord gave her a vision, and her husband lived. See, God can get that intense, and this is what's been in this beat today. If you would let yourself hear the godly, because what the thing is we've got to learn to listen to God ourselves. And many times when we come into a praise and worship, especially one that flows freely in the prophetic, we kind of pull back and say, What do I do with this? You listen intently. You start listening. Okay, you start like you do at a ball game. You get to a ball game, and you'll start listening to the feel of it. Come on, you people that do ball you'll start feeling out the stadium. Will you not to see where the emphasis which team has the most rally behind them. Which team do you feel is emphasizing what they're pushing through? You see you got to take that because that's something that God created to push in and feel him. We just don't realize we're using it in the world and not with him. You see what I'm saying. So listen to the beat. Just close your eyes and just listen. And then they've been seeing me about asking questions. Because when Lynn, I remember when she said, when she got the word, and it just hit her. It just hit her like it emphasized it. God just emphasized it. And then she started asking God questions. See if you'll ask him, he'll answer you. You don't know because you don't ask. You have not because you don't ask. That's what the Bible says you don't have because you don't ask. So Father, what are you saying in that drumroll today? What may be for one person may not be for me, but what are you saying, Father, what is your voice? What are you speaking today, Father, and this is the next thing you've got to do. They were talking about water. Well yesterday we were in a class, and the instructor said, think of your joyful time. We you know what? I went to. My joyful time was actually getting on my horse. Her name was Cody, and I would ride Cody down the water. I would ride her through the pond. I would ride her across out. We would actually get together a group of us, and we would just go down to the river, and we knew we were going to ride our horses down the river. That was joy to me. Absolute joy. We would see whose horse could outswim the other to get there. I mean, it was absolute joy. So when I think of my joy time, I think of riding my horse down the river, and I knew she was always going to come through for me. That's the kind of confidence we got to develop in Jesus when you go in the water with him, I know, I know he's going to get me out of here. He's not going to buck me off, he's not going to throw me he's not going to do anything that loses the saddle. Yeah, I get fused at out because my saddle stay wet. But anyway, so what's God saying to you? Can you can hear for yourself, and let him talk to you. Just like you do when you start feeling the crowd at a game, start feeling the Lord and let him talk to you. Ruth Ann: So, Father, we just hear your voice, we just hear who you are, and we listen, we listen to who you are intently. Father, we listen to your sound. We listen to your heartbeat. We listen to you. Father, we listen to who you are. Father, this is one time when I sit down with my notebook and I'll write immediately what he shows me. I write down the word he gives me. I'll start digging that word. I'll let the Scripture ring in me and I'll start digging into what he's speaking to me through script. And just hear his heartbeat. Ruth Ann: See when you get in a moment like this, this is what you do. You don't pass it up. You step into the Father. You step into what's around you. You step into what he's doing around you. And we have to let the chaos of the world go. And if we let the chaos go, we start hearing him. Is everybody good with me? We start hearing him. So it's not always just about coming to hear a message. I come to hear God. I come to see that what he's going to do. I come to see where he's showing up. Is everybody good with me? It's not just about a message. A message is good, but you can get a message much more powerful than I can bring you by listening to him. So I have sat many times since that teaching from Lynn Hammond. I have sat many times with the Bible and let him emphasize what he's saying to me in Scripture and start going after it. And it's amazing where it'll take you in him, and it's amazing what he will show you along the way. And you just got to get as confident in him as you whoever, whoever you trust or whatever you trust the most. I trusted my horse, whatever you trust the most, you got to learn to trust him more. Yeah, you got to learn to believe what you hear, and you got to learn to believe he's going to talk to you. And it's a learning process, because lots of us have had instances where what we do is that we rely on somebody else to hear God for us when we are fully equipped. Renuns and Declarations : And I want you to say, Father, everywhere that I have rebelled out of weariness, out of being worn out, getting into stubbornness, are compromised with the world, and I haven't released my voice to overcome my situation. I break agreement with all the weariness, with all the distortion and all the generation iniquity that I have agreed with and I've allowed to stand. So I today renounce every lie and contradiction that's working around me to your word. So I submit my will to the will of Jesus Christ and the patterns of heaven. Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in my house as it is in heaven. I repent for all disorder, dishonor and misalignment from my family patterns, and I stay step out of the cycles of silence. Ruth Ann: Now, let's just stop right there. And I have a book of renunciations that I use so much in inner healing, and it's called silence is violence. And I have looked that up over and over and over. And there's a scripture in the Bible that talks about bringing violence upon someone. You can find it if you look for it. It's in the Old Testament. And see when you have to remain silent in your own home, you feel like you're violently abused. I said something really true, didn't I, if you have to remain silent in your place, then you feel a violence of abuse working against you or me. Renuns and Declarations: So I want you to say: Father, I come out of agreement with being violated by having to remain silent in my own home. So violence you cannot spread over me, you cannot control me, and you cannot keep me quiet. So I say in the name of Jesus, that Jesus Christ is Lord over my household. Where I work with him to restore divine order, where love replaces fear, where honor replaces shame, and generational blessings are welcomed. So I declare this day that the Lord is my source, that Heaven's pattern is where I flow, and wisdom governs all of my decisions. Ruth Ann: So Father God, I thank you for your pattern that brings Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, into the earth. And we start with us, Father God, to get that pattern in the earth. Father God, I thank You, Father God, for the pattern of Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in the name of Jesus.
